The Chronicles Of... The Chronicles Of... This is the chronicles of Pete, Dicker and Chris. This website is, I guess, a continuation of the playground stories, and also a reflection on the ones which are now folk lore. It's a place for us to just throw down not only the stories and thoughts

2008-03-13 10:46:00 …is what I said when my friend Mike told me to hold the position for 30 more seconds… I’ve just been down at Wanda doing some fitness training with a couple of the guys from church. One of them is a bit of a personal trainer, and he’s been taking some of the guys out for ... More About: Sport , Peter
Thanks Victor Kelleher
2008-03-11 12:24:00 I was never much for being a reader as a child. In the MS readathon, my friends had often read 600 books by the end of the month, and I had just realised that I was more captivated by the cover of my books than the words inside… But in 1991 I found a book and ...

Hi. My name?s Michael and I?m a social drinker?
2008-03-07 12:03:00 So we went for Fi’s first antenatal checkup today (we’re 13 weeks now woohoo!). As part of the initial checkup procedure, there was a point where I had to leave the room so the Doc could ask Fi some personal questions about our relationship etc… This is a really good system in our hospitals. It gives ... More About: Social , General , Michael
Society
2008-03-06 13:55:00 Someone’s made a video to go with a song that Ed Vedder wrote for the film ‘Into the Wild’. They’ve made a bit of tenuous link between their politics and the song, but it basically fits. More About: Society , Music , Tube , Peter
Little thieves!
2008-03-06 03:01:00 Had one of those great days yesterday… Fi left her mobile phone in the car overnight. We remembered it before going to bed but couldn’t be bothered walking down stairs to get it, and as we tried to motivate ourselves to go get it we joked “we’ll probably get broken into tonight.” “hmmmm yeah… you can ...

let the kids spray
2008-03-04 00:49:00 Take a good look at this picture. What do you see? This is not a a psyche test. You’re not supposed to see an apparition of Mary, or the face of Jesus and the sacred heart. It’s concrete. Plain ol’ fashioned concrete. There is nothing special about this particular concrete surface. It’s not from anywhere famous. It’s ... More About: Kids , General , The Kids , Spray
Workin? for the man?
2008-02-27 11:54:00 This evening I attended a training session for potential Police Youth Support People at the local PCYC. Basically I’ll be on call if a young or ‘vulnerable’ person is arrested, and their parent or guardian isn’t available to sit in on their police interview, to make sure that the police are following the correct procedures, ...

U.S. Shooting
2008-02-18 02:56:00 Another US school shooting masacre… Maybe it will start to become clear to them that: “Guns don’t kill people… People who can buy guns at Kmart kill people…” Surely they’ve worked out that their “relaxed” standard of gun laws isn’t really helping their citizens any… COMING TO A U.S. PAPER NEAR YOU: ‘World news’, ‘Finance news’, ‘Sport news’, and… ...

Sorry
2008-02-13 13:10:00 I’m proud to be Australian today. I think it’s brilliant! Outreach media has even done a poster to go with it. Here’s a youtube link: More About: General
So you think you can dance
2008-02-04 10:59:00 I was just watching (like literally just now) “So you think you can dance” with Fiona (don’t ask why… we just were… I don’t know…) Like all these reality, make-or-break, competition shows like Australian Idol etc… The judges always have the job of telling people they haven’t made it, and if you’re like Kyle Sandilands you’ve got ...

Life is a segway
2008-02-02 05:43:00 Just had this great thought about life as a segway. Not sure where it’s going yet, but I like it! The transition of one subject to the next - of birth to death… It’s deep man. More About: Life , General , Segway
War? what is it good for?
2008-02-02 05:42:00 (This blog is continuing the conversation from Pete’s blog “Clarkson and the Soldier”.) War… what is it good for? Absolutely nothing? Well… what about defending the defenseless? Or crushing an evil tyrant? Or stopping an invasion? Was it wrong to fight against the war march of the Nazis in WWII? The New Testament of the Bible is noticebly ... More About: General , Good
Clarkson and the soldiers
2008-01-24 09:15:00 I was reading this article recently, and it got me thinking. First of all, it got me thinking that the guy in the photo at the top of the article looks as though his face has been ‘photoshopped’ on, but I don’t know why that would be the case. Perhaps he’s a really effective ... More About: General , Soldiers , Pete , Clarkson
Farewell Jimmy McFadden?
2008-01-19 02:10:00 I support Everton in the English Premier League, and this week we sold a player who never really got going for us in the few years we had him in the team. He struggled to get regular game time, and just never really seemed to fit into the side. Despite all that, he had moments ... More About: Sport , Tube , Jimmy , Farewell , Pete
Spent Some Time in Hospital
2008-01-16 01:11:00 This happened last week, I started it, didn’t finish it, but will give it a go now… So it’s been a big 24 hours for me, last night at about 6:30 I had to go to hospital, well I went to the medical centre first, but we’ll skip that bit. So I got there at the right ... More About: Hospital , General , Time , Chris
Psalm 2
2008-01-14 06:38:00 A psalm of kingship. This psalm particularly connects with me in how it describes God’s determination. What I mean by that is God’s certainty in what he plans he will do (”when I act who can reverse it?” Isa. 43:13). God installs his king in Zion. And he laughs at those who try to undermine what ...

Psalm 1
2008-01-10 04:07:00 A psalm of wisdom and confidence. What particularly conncts with me is the image that the one who is righteous is like ”a tree planted by streams of water”. The psalm starts with “blessed are those…”, and the tree is truly blessed. It has a close supply of water which enables it to produce it’s fruit in ... More About: Psalm , Psalms
the psalms
2008-01-10 02:23:00 In order to help my struggling prayer life at the moment, I’ve decided to get back into the habit of reading a psalm a day (which I’ve always enjoyed and found useful, but have recently let slide…). And as an extra benefit, I’ve decided to blog a little reflection on the psalm I read. Things like (but not ... More About: Psalms
?holiday(s are over)?
2008-01-09 14:42:00 So I’m back in town, and back into the swing of things. The house we stayed in was really nice, just across the road from the beach with very nice views of the ocean and an island (which was pretty much in the ocean). On our first trip to the beach I caught my first ... More About: Holiday , Travels , General , Pete
Xmas or Christmas
2008-01-09 04:23:00 Ok… Essay question… From a christian perspective, “Xmas ” is a perfectly suitable abreviated substitute for “Christmas ”. Discuss. I must say, i was quite precious about the whole thing up until recently. I ran with the whole “it’s taking the Christ out of Christmas” line, but then it was pointed out to me that “X” is the letter “Chi” ... More About: General
(a boring) absentee note
2008-01-09 04:21:00 So I’ve been absent from the blog world for a while now… But I have been doing things. I’ve managed to build myself a desk/office up in the youth room at church which folds away into a lockable cupboard so I can leave my stuff up there while other people use the room, niiiice!

Holiday?
2008-01-01 00:28:00 …no, not the Madonna song, but the actual event of having a break from my regular life. We’re about to head down to the south coast of NSW to enjoy some sun, water, and quiet. It’s been a good year, but with plenty of challenges, and although challenges can be good, often I’d rather just have ... More About: Holiday , General , Pete

Tired.
More articles from this author:2007-12-20 11:12:00 The last few weeks have been very tiring. Every day I’ve arrived at home feeling more exhausted than the day before, and have struggled to stay awake more than a few minutes after stumbling through the door. This evening has been much the same, so I ordered pizza (The Swiss Wood Fire place at Caringbah ... More About: General , Pete , Tired , Tire 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 |
