THIS IS THE HOMENODE OF WAVERIDER VERSION 1.37.18.4
Why waverider, and why 37? First, it has nothing whatsoever to do with surfing. Or anything from the waverider node. It sounds corney, but it's a complete coincidence - I chose the name randomly. (Well, icefire did have some influence.) The 37? Apparently that's the "forgotten number".

The other side of me.

TEH JOKEZ!!!

A little boy goes to his father and asks "Daddy, how was I born?"
The father answers, "Well, son, I guess one day you will need to find out anyway! Your Mom and I first got together in a chat room on Yahoo.
Then I set up a date via e-mail with your mother and we met at a cyber-cafe. We sneaked into a secluded room, where your mother agreed to a
download from my hard drive. As soon as I was ready to upload, we discovered that neither one of us had used a firewall, and since it was
too late to hit the delete button, nine months later a little Pop-Up appeared that said: "YOU'VE GOT MALE!!!"

MY DOG DOESN'T HAVE A NOSE!
HOW DOES HE SMELL?
...I DON'T KNOW, HE DOESN'T HAVE A NOSE!
(apologies to D Generation)
**********
Two hunters are out in the woods in New Jersey when one of them collapses. He doesn't seem to be breathing and his eyes are glazed.
The other guy whips out his phone and calls the emergency services. He gasps 'My friend is dead! What can I do?' The operator says: 'Calm
down, I can help. First, let's make sure he's dead.' There is a silence, then a shot is heard. Back on the phone, the guy says 'OK, now what?'
**********
A woman has twins, and gives them up for adoption. One of them goes to a family in Egypt and is named "Amal." The other goes to a
family in Spain; they name him "Juan." Years later, Juan sends a picture of himself to his mom. Upon receiving the picture, she
tells her husband that she wishes she also had a picture of Amal. Her husband responds, "But they are twins - if you've seen Juan,
you've seen Amal!"

There is no such thing as perfect. The perfect person is the perfect asshole. The perfect person will never die. The perfect person has no appendix.

Dear God, I would like to file a bug report.

New Year's Resolutions 2008:

1. To keep a diary (again) Apart from being too far into this year, I've decided that this year will be more boring than last year. Anything special, I can daylog.
2. To not go out for a duck in cricket at all, during the whole of the year (this'll be the only one I'll remember)
3. To cut down on the smart-arse comments and cynical remarks Blow that for a joke.

Want to *see* me? I have some photos of me on this site. I'm the one with the Stephen Hawking T-shirt. It's my own design. Obviously.
Want to *hear* me? Go here and listen to Episodes 9 and 18. I also intend to be on a future episode.
Want to *smell* me? Only very few people get this privilege. Too bad if you're not one of them.
Want to *taste* me? Nope. Good luck there.
Want to *touch* me? If you're kinky, send me an Email; if you're not, send me something inspiring. That way, I'll be touched. Get it? Huh? (Funny funny waverider37.)

SOME ASSORTED SHIT ABOUT ME

• My real name: CJ (yes. really. i have a name with two initials. and i love it.)
• My age: 18 (mind you, I mention that explicity every so often)
• My home country: Australia
• My home town: well, the one I'm in is a hole. As far as I'm concerned, I have no home town.
• My family: mother and father, obviously; sister, three cats, dog, guinea-pig, and variable amounts of goldfish. Also, a guy who's been like a brother to me.
• My religion: agnostic. The way I see it, there can't be an omnipresent, omnipotent, powerful deity out there. If there were, it'd be out to get me.
• What I like doing: again, this is a shade obvious, but still - playing cricket, listening to music, fiddling with maths and computers, watching DVDs and playing around with E2.
• What movies I like: comedies and action movies. Sci-fi: yes, but nothing along the lines of, say, Star Trek. Action thrillers, yes; suspense/psychological thrillers hell NO. Rom-coms: depends.
• What music I like: indie/dance/electro/trance/acid/disco. You know the type.
• What food I like: pasta. Pasta pasta pasta. Also anything home baked by my mother. She is a wonderful cook.
• What drinks I like: lemonade and lemon cordial. And Mountain Dew. Alcohol: a little. No beer or wine. I'm still getting into the booze thing.
• What games I like: the odd RPG, FPS, and strategy games. Chess, Monopoly, AoM, Worms, all that jazz.
• What comics/cartoons I like: Daria. In the papers I like Non Sequitur, Zits and FBOrFW.
• What jobs I've had: Only one - food service team member at KFC.
• Who my idols are: Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, Linus Torvalds. Congratulations, guys.
• Who my sporting idols are: Without a doubt, Shane Warne (minus the off-field shit), Matthew Hayden and Jonty Rhodes. (Yes, I know he's South African and not Australian. He was a damn good fielder.)
• What kind of cricketer I am: If I'm batting, I'm a middle-order to tailend batsman, though I can also be useful as an opener in longer matches. If I'm bowling, I'm occasional and I'm a leg-spinner. If I'm fielding, you can find me often in the covers, at square leg, mid-on, or a sort of "silly midwicket". Generally, the infield, but not the slips cordon.
• What my computer's cluttered up with: spreadsheets, school work archived school work (stuff I want to keep), 20GiB of photos and music, and games. I have 75GiB for Windoze Shit-sta (for compatibility with half the rest of the world, plus some of the games Windoze is admittedly good for), and the rest of it is solely devoted to Ubuntu Gutsy.
• Where I was when the planes hit the Twin Towers: in my room getting dressed, from memory. I was 11.
• How much rewriteable disk storage I have: 259.611 GiB No longer accurate. I need to recalculate it.

Seen recently on Wanda The Fish, an applet for GNOME:

--Good night for sleeping in eucalyptus trees.

--Troubled night for young virgins in eucalyptus trees.

Not a good night for sleeping in a eucalyptus tree.
Another bad night for sleeping in eucalyptus trees.

Working. Relaxing. Spending every moment appreciating life. Avoiding letting the shit hit the fan. That's basically it for me for now...
Stay in touch,
CJ

for those who want to contact me outside of e2, i have two email addresses, dark fighter 37 at gmail or hotmail dot com. it doesn't matter which one, i check them both regularly.

When it comes to dying
I'm not frightened
I've been to hell and I've seen the truth
So when it comes to dying
I'm not lying
I only know that this much is true... I'm gonna miss you
