one more day until i pick up and leave for a full week of fishing. i think joe is just as pumped as me. i can't wait. i love fishing, but we never really catch anything. i am hoping that we get the right time of day and get a big school moving from the mouth to the sea. who knows ...? i came on here to report a few thing, but now i have just gone blank and i can't remember anything that i was going to say... i had a fight with my brother over the phone the other night. everyone tells me i should play football (aussie rules). i always say no, because i don't want to play and thats final. thats my one reason i don't play..because i don't want to. anyways my bro was abusing me for not playing and shit. he has been the only one all through me growing up that hasn't really said anything about it...i always thought he respected me for what i chose to do. but he started saying that i should play and all that and he wouldn't let up about it. i gave the phone back to mum and went in my room and just felt hurt. i almost choose to play that night, but dad came in and had a talk about only doing what i want...fuck dad is a champ sometimes. i have yet to talk to my brother again...we will make up, but i don't know how. speaking of dad...growing up i always didn't want to be like him. just a few things that i hated about him...losing his temper, not bad...just yelling at us sometimes and all that. but looking at me now...i think i am alot like him. i will never let myself lose my temper like he used to, but now i have views on life like him and we think the same. he thinks the whole christan thing is a sham, i do to, but i never thought i would feel so strongly about it like he does. i think dad is a fucking champ on many levels. i want to bring my kids up like he brought me up, but i just want to be a little more relaxed at it...lol! i want to talk to dad about his dad. he died when dad was like 12 or something and i want to know what he was like, but dad never talks about him. i am unsure what he died of, but i think it had something to do with smoking....i will find a time to talk to him about it. thats about all ok people. i have to catch heaps of fish and bring back the stories to you all... peace
