The Game

So I have no idea how popular 'The Game' is anywhere other than where I live. Almost anyone in my age group knows what the game is and plays it with dedication, although that's very difficult to do.

The object of the game is not to think about it, as soon as you do, you loose. How I've been taught to play it is that, after you loose it, you get a thirty minute grace period before it starts again. You're forever trying to forget about the game, and often that is what makes you loose it. Another rule is that if you loose it you have to announce it to the world. With a large group of people playing it's difficult not to loose.

Anything could make you think about the game, whether it be music, movies, TV or other people, once you start playing you pretty well can't avoid it anymore.

So I guess I just made a whole lot of people loose, and I lost myself... time to start over. 

Guy Fawks 2011

Guy Fawkes this year was one of the best I've seen during my time. Many members of my family came together for a night which we will all remember for a while to come.

My guy Fawkes began with a lot of hard work. It started with the beginnings of landscaping. Lugging buckets of compost and pumas up and down a hill while my parents dug holes and planted tree seedlings. It may sound simple but it was harder than I'd expected it to be.

 
 

After All the hard work was done the festivities could begin. We had a massive bonfire and more fireworks than I could count. Overall, even including the hard work, the day was one of the best I'd had in a long while.
