Jake Malone In Bali

Was awesome having my brother come visit us in Bali this week. We did a lot of surfing. Was really nice to feel a bit more confident on the board and be out there in some bigger waves. I still suck at surfing but its definitely lit a bit of a fire in me to have more of a crack at it when we get home.

My current problem is that I get too stiff with my upper body when I stand up on the board. I need to stay low and put more pressure on my front foot when I stand. That will help me wipe out less as I was often falling off the back.

My new favourite spot to surf in the world is Balangan Beach.

Bizarre Ashes#youtube.com

This has to go down as one of the weirdest Test matches of all time. I honestly don't know what to make of it going in to the Brisbane night test. England's bowlers are good but their batters are trash? Maybe? Australia are also really bad at batting apart from Travis Head?

Test, Odi, T20,IPL,Pressure match,ICC Finals...Travis Head is absolutely beast!!!

Nightmare Ashes#youtube.com

Well this is a terrifying watch. I think we might be in trouble here.

Khawaja needs to go. Boland also had a mare.

Some of these goals were absolute worldies. Loved the Scottish commentary too.

There would have been a lot of hangovers the next morning.

Metroid Prime Annoying Guy#youtube.com

Nintendo what have you done.

No one should ever say "BOOYAH!" in a Metroid game. Sigh. What the hell were they thinking?

Hearing the beautiful music interrupted by Marvel millennium yapping is insane. Nintendo really fumbled this one

Old Hemp#en.wikipedia.org

The more I look at Old Hemp the more I think it's actually Boots' ancestor.

First following sheep at the age of six weeks, Hemp grew to have a great ability to herd. He moved sheep quietly unlike the louder sheepdogs of the era and was far more mild-mannered, although sometimes worked so intensely that he physically trembled; within a few generations, his style had been adopted by almost all Border Collies, and became known as the Border Collie style.
