Dear Boba Fett
Be careful with that jetpack of yours. It might end in tears one day.

Day 14 A song from your childhood
I'm sure most of my childhood was just listening to the kind of random, inane songs that little kids listen to. You know, those ones that you kinda have some weird half memory of 20 years later, but can't quite recall if they were real or some dream. But hey, heres one I do remember being on a tape my Grandma used to play. And I think I posted it on the facebooks a while back, but here it is again.
Even with this mad video, tis a classic.

Day 13 Whatever tickles your fancy
Egad, what happened? 3 days without posting? Guess teachers are busier than I first figured. And I'm also at Becca's right now so I have a little less time to just sit around typing stuff up. But hey, here I am, with Day 13 (which I believe is now 17 days after I started this. Or maybe 18). What does tickle my fancy then? I think a study of Tony's life.
Tony - The early years (1981 - 1991)
I think a ten year span is a nice start. Born on 31st December at about 4am, I don't recall much of my early life. What with being a baby and all. I believe my earliest memory is my 3rd birthday, as I had a cake the shape of a cat. It was brown. Next I remember being at my brother's christening. I was sitting next to my Nan....that's all I remember. David and Robert were born 2nd February 1984, so I imagine this memory is 1984 sometime.
I started Cheam Park Farm Infant school in 1985 I think. There I met long term chum Andrew Budden. He was playing some game with Janegan Annilingham and I believe I latched onto them both. The three of us were to become class boffins, and when James Guzy joined us in year 2 (or top year as it was when we infants) we were four good and clever chums. Being super smart meant that primary school was always a good time for me. It was a shame that I was always third smartest in the class, but when Janegan moved schools at the end of year 5 I was upgraded to second. Just.
So life was good in these years. However, bad times were starting to form.
I don't remember my Uncle Gerald dying, but I know from later conversations that it happened while we were on holiday and so had to come back early. This was 1987....I think August. However, I do remember Uncle Curly (David) getting killed some 8 or 9 months later. Myself and my brothers were playing in the garden, when Mum came out clutching her head and told us to get the Moffats, who were our nice elderly neighbours. We thought she was sick, but she wasn't. She just been given bad news. Perhaps I was too young to appreciate the gravity of all this, but I imagine that losing 2 brothers in the space of a year was pretty tough for all involved - Mum, Nan and Granddad. But I was young and had no idea so continued being quite happy and smart. By my 10th birthday I would have been in year 5, so I think we shall stop just now. (As I now teach year 5, it seems to have worked out well).
I think there are more whatever i fancy entries on this thing, so we'll continue my life then. Byeee.

Day 10 A letter to the person you hate most or caused you a lot of pain
Hello
You may not remember me, but you sure did piss me off a while back. I almost wrote some jokey made up letter, but I figured it would work out better if I wrote to someone who actually pissed me off. The problem was, and still is I guess, that you never really knew or understood how much you cheesed me off, nor did you or will you ever understand why your actions caused me to have to regard you as my arch nemesis for life. Heck, the girl you took, I don't even think I liked her that much when I look at it in retrospect. But come on! I'd been alone for 23 years by this stage. You could have just let me had a small bit of success, even if it was clearly doomed to fail sooner or later. Yeah, I was having bad times for sure. But our little MSN conversation tipped me over let me tell you, and this is where the hate comes in. Or came in. past tense. Yeah, I remember it well. You came and told me you knew my feelings but were going to 'take her off me'. My natural response was fairly expletive based, but your reply cut me bad.
'I don't know why you're mad at me. It's not my fault that girls think I'm better looking than you.'
Now I'll never know whether you meant that as a KO blow to me, or whether the fact that you'd never failed in love meant that you couldn't comprehend how I felt. But as someone who was growing a little desperate and needed reassurance that nice guys could eventually win the girl, it was a comment which was covered in stark reality. Cos I knew that in the real world, girls would always go for good looking guys over the guys who just wanna look after them. And indeed she did.
But it's ok. Cos I fled to America, and got a little bit of confidence. And now things are much better.
So score one for the good guys!
Love from Tony

Day 9 List some of your favourite bloggers
Hey gang.
Seems i missed the first day of 2011, cos I was at Dan and Aimee's house. So here we are, on the 2nd of January with a new blog entry. And what is it today? Oh....favourite bloggers? Sounds crap. And also fairly pointless as most the people who read this are no doubt people who have their own blogs which inspired me to write this one. So lets see then...
http://meemsyblog.blogspot.com/
Oh look, it's Aimee Hannah's blog. Pretty good stuff but fairly pointless if you don't know her. I liked her day 20 entry best. Good stuff.
http://tabbinator89.blogspot.com/
Oh and here is the blog of Tabitha De Garis. Check out her crazy ramblings, or just the quite touching Day 40 entry she did a while back.
http://stevensfoodieadventures.blogspot.com/
And how about Steven's 'Adventures of a Foodie'. No doubt it's a lil pretentious at times, but he probably does know more than most of y'all about food and stuff.
Check em out. Or just ignore all i've written and wait for a better entry tomorrow...
