How to comment

To be entirely honest. I don’t know really know how to exactly and correctly make a comment. There shouldn’t necessarily be a certain way that you should comment. Its your own opinion, you can say whatever you want. If you wanna say something extremely negative. Than say it. Just be aware of the consequences that come from the things you say. No matter what you say there is going to be some kind of back lash. Your going to anger someone somewhere no matter what. If you do get a negative comment on anything you post, just ignore it. Or even better, just mess with them. Say something to confuse them or trick them because the people who usually write those comments are complete idiots and easy to trick. But whatever. Ill just talk about my little guide on how to comment.

The first thing I would say is that while that you definitely shouldn’t be negative on your commenting, you don’t necessarily have to be positive. Someone’s work might be an absolute pile of rubbish. Don’t tell them that its good then they’ll just continue to make the same mistakes. Just tell them that it needs work and how they could improve their writing. Constructive feedback and being honest can help someone with improving themselves but it doesn’t mean its okay to be negative.

You should also at least make your comment somewhat relevant and have some significance. You don’t care and the people who say it don’t care if you say good job, or nice work. If your not being constructive at least add something to the topic. Your input really isn’t needed if it doesn’t mean anything. If its not going to be relevant or helpful don’t even bother writing it, no one cares.

And please just spell correctly. I’m sick of seeing the most illogical and poorly spelt comment ever imaginable. Read over it and try to rephrase it if it doesn’t make sense. What is the point of something that nobody can make sense of. I’m just sick of it all.

But what’s the point of even writing this. Everyone whos going to read will likely already know all of these things and applied to their commenting a long time ago. They’ve also probably already heard these things over and over again on literally everyone else’s blogs. And the people who do need to read this. most certainly won’t. I don’t even know why we bother. Those people who do the exact opposite of everything me and just about everyone else has said will continue to do those things across the interwebs.

I think you get the point, so ill just stop there and call an end.

About Me

Ummm, hi. My name is Jordan I live in Kalbarri which is located six hours north of Perth along the coast of WA. I am 14 years of age and enjoy things such as surfing, footy, swimming and a little bit of diving. I live with a family of four. I only have one brother who is younger than me and a complete rat. I also live with my mummy and daddy. I also like to listen to music and currently excited to get my hands on the Green Day Album. It’s going to be so good. Other bands that I enjoy a lot are My Chemical Romance, System of a Down, Limp Bizkit, Neon Trees and many more.

In my spare time I either listen to music or go for a surf. There are plenty of places to surf in Kalbarri. For when the swell is smaller and as long as there is no swell beaches such as Blue Holes, Dang Dangs or Echoes are all really good spots. The surf spot that Kalbarri is most famous for is Jacques Beach. Jacques beach is about a five minute drive south of town and actually holds three really good surf breaks. These include breaks are known as The Point, Lopes and The Bay. All of these breaks kinda connect together so that when you get a really good and a really big wave. You can ride it all the way from the start of the point, through Lopes and into the bay.

But if there is no swell. Then there is a problem. I used to free dive when it was good but I can’t really do it anymore mainly due to the fact that I don’t have a spear gun any more. That’s because dad accidentally snapped it while loading it. Plus I couldn’t ever equalise due to my sinuses being blocked. To equalise is to like make the pressure in your ear drum equal to the pressure of the water that is applying it. Or something like that. I’ll still occasionally go for a snorkel or something but if its dead flat then I’d just grab a couple of mates and go rock jumping down at pot alley.

I attend school at Kalbarri District High School because it is the only school in Kalbarri and the nearest school is about another 100km’s away. Kalbarri is only a small town with about 2000 people living it, I think, not really sure. Kalbarri is mainly located alongside a river known as Murchison River. But there are still many beaches located nearby as mentioned before. When you follow the river further in land you come across the national park and in it are locations like the gorges, natures window the z bend and many more. I really haven’t gone to any of these locations for a long time so I can’t really remember what the locations are like but I hear that they are really nice.

There is not really a general sport that the majority of the town revolves around. A fair few people are from NSW and Queensland so they more enjoy rugby but there isn’t a team for it. Some people play footy some play golf, some play a bit of cricket. A large amount of women in the community play netball though. You don’t see too many footy games in Kalbarri, there is only like one or two games that get held here a year. But everyone is generally pretty enthusiastic about them and you get some pretty good crowds on those days.

But for the majority of the time you’ll have to go to Northampton or further get any consistent games being played. Most kids that play footy play for the Northampton rams and play against other clubs from Geraldton, Dongara, and many more. I usually play for Northampton as well but this year I didn’t as there weren’t enough players for a team. But my brother does play for them now.

And that’s pretty much me.

Long weekend part 2 post 3

On Saturday the 4th we got up around 9 and got ready to go to Mullewa Rodeo. We left at 11 got there around 11:40 12:00. As soon as we got there we went straight to the hotel/pub we were staying at to book in.
After we booked in we put all of our stuff upstairs and my friend and I got the air mattress we were going to sleep on out because there was only two single beds one for her mum and the another for her dad. Her mum and dad went downstairs to have a drink and get some lunch while my friend and I pumped the mattress up, as we were pumping it up she asked me “Georgia when you were folding the mattress up at home did you put the plug back in the box?” I just looked at her and just laughed I didn’t even remember her taking the plug out of the box when we were making sure it will blow up and folding it back into the box. So for about 5 minutes she sat there laughing at me and saying “mum is going to think we are idiots.”
We decided to go down and tell her mum that we are idiots and we are going to sleep on the floor. We walked into the pub and told her mum that we left the plug back at her and she just said ” you guys are so dumb.”
After telling her mum what happened we decided to go to the rodeo. They had friends that were staying at the pub and they were telling us to walk down to the rodeo and go through competition area because it’s quicker. That day at the rodeo was raining and awful but we stayed the whole day and watched all of the comps. When the day ended we went back to the room for a goodnight sleep.
The next morning we woke up and packed driving back to Geraldton for my dad to pick me up and drive me home.

Week 1 post

This is my grandma‘s birthday where my family and I went down to blue holes and watched the sunset while letting a balloon go. Then went home and had her favourite food pizza which was her last meal.

Today the 16th of August we celebrate your birthday. The day that was your day and your day only! All of this day everyone that knows you will be thinking about you today and spending a minute or two to say a few words for you! Like mum (Julie) and Kim are going whale watching at Red Bluff where we spread your ashes and said our goodbyes. You were my grandma, my Nanma, the person I told everything to and I miss our conversations about work and school and who we like and don’t like. I love how you would always make me a sandwich with tomato, cheese, salt and pepper that taste amazing!!! I also miss being able to walk over to your house and make you a cuppa with a biscuit. I miss everything about you and I still can’t believe that your gone but things happen for a reason and I still can’t figure out what this reason was but when I do I will tell you!! I love you Nanma 💘💗❣

Sorry Miss Flannery that my posts are so late but I’m starting to try and do all my post as soon as possible! Thank you!

Smoked Lemon Tuna Recipe

The ingredients that you will need to make Lemon Smoked Tuna will be:

. 2 Tablespoons of olive oil

. 2 Tablespoons of lemon juice

. 2 Tablespoons of lemon pepper seasoning

. Salt and pepper for taste

. 2 Tablespoons of minced garlic

. 1 Lemon, sliced

 

1. About an hour before you want to start cooking, combine your olive oil, lemon juice, lemon pepper seasoning, salt, pepper, and minced garlic together and rub it directly on both sides of the tuna steaks. Place a slice of lemon directly on each of your tuna steak fillets. Make sure your lemon tuna steaks are either sitting on ice or left in the refrigerator to keep them chilled during this time.

2. Light you charcoal smoker approximately 30 minutes, or 10 minutes before with a gas grill, before you want to start cooking.

3. Wrap your wood chips in an aluminium foil pouch or a metal smoker box. Punch holes in the foil pouch to let the smoke escape out the top.

4. Next simply put your tuna steak fillets on the grates of your smoker.

5. Check the lemon smoked tuna about a half hour into the smoking time and flip your tuna steaks. Be careful that the tuna doesn’t flake apart and fall through the grates by using a large spatula that can slide completely under the tuna steaks. Smoke the tuna for another half hour and your tuna should be ready to take off the smoker and serve. Garnish the lemon smoked tuna with a freshly sliced lemon.

 

The cooking time for the tuna is around 1 hour. Some people like their tuna rare or in sushis but you want your tuna in the smoker for a while for it to absorb the smoky flavour.

 

 

TV

Not much happened this week, well beside the athletics carnival that took place over three days last week. Didn’t do much during the weekend either. Not really sure about what I should talk about. Well I did watch a TV show that I found pretty interesting over the weekend. So, why not, let’s talk about that.

The show One Punch Man is a Newly released TV series with only one season that’s twelve episodes long. However, a second season has just been announced for the show.

One Punch Man is about a man who’s a hero for fun. He is so powerful that all enemies that he encounters are defeated after just one punch, hence the name, One Punch Man. He does not possess any super powers or anything like that. He just trained for three years, in fact, he trained so hard that he went completely bald. Whereas many of the other heroes in the show have super powers or are cyborgs.

The show is an anime but it doesn’t act like one. In fact it’s purpose is to make fun of the genre. More the action and superhero oriented animes. It constantly makes fun of the tropes that the genre generally carries. Because of this the show is generally more as a comedy than anything else.

At the time that I watched it, the show was only available in Japanese with English subtitles which could off put many people from watching. However, it has been announced that the show will be dubbed in English. This means that the show can be viewed with full English voice acting which may help many to want to watch it.

I recommend that you give this show a chance, it does not matter if you enjoy anime or have ever seen one before as it is a great way to get into the genre. Try it out, you never know if you’ll like it without first attempting to watch.

Fathers Day

Fathers day, the day we acknowledge our dads for the great people they are. This year our family celebrated Fathers day a few hours early due to me working and him working as well. So on the eve of Fathers day we brought dad his present. He was very happy with his present and couldn’t ask for more when he knew another present was coming in the mail still. Anyway I suppose you want to know what we got him. So it started off with a card which we had made custom for him from one of the card makers in town. The card was covered by 3d pokemon that turned into a box. We then brought out his big box, inside the box was a tonne of camping gear which he is going to need very soon since he has just bought a new rooftop tent. Our family has planned to go camping in late November or Early December, hopefully. The present, which is coming in the mail still, is a biltong/beef jerky maker which is going to be awesome. I’m still not sure if we chose to buy it for us or him hahaha. Our family eats lot of beef jerky so this will most likely be used everyday. I hope all the Fathers have had a great Fathers day and continue to do what your doing.

List below what you bought your dad for Fathers day.

5th f e n c e

The other week I managed to skip a day off of school and went surfing with some locals. We were heading up the coast to some heavy surf break and I was the nominated surf filmer. we left at about 8 O’clock. Soon Ry, Jake, Kane, Jy, and Kit packed our stuff into Jake’s car and got ready for the two hour trip. We paid our $50 fee and drove through the boggy sand and the muddy track. We got bogged a couple times but that didn’t stop us, just delayed. We got there at about 12 and we all headed straight out it was pumping. The left hander was probably one of the best I’ve seen.

After our long surf we came in and ate our very late lunch watched the sunset and headed home.

Surf trip-101

The other week I wagged a day off of school and went on a surf mission with some pro’s and ex-pro surfers, and lot of normal guys from around town who still shred.
It was a good day right from the get go. We went for a surf check down at the local break (known as Jakes) and realized it was going to be pumping up there. So at around 7:30 we headed back home organizing food and surf boards.

After we were organized, Ry craike gave me a lift down around the corner to young Jake Perkins’s house and we started loading his car up with the surfboards, My camera equipment, food and a lot of alcohol.
(we only took up one car because there is a $50 fee for surfers to get through, tourist are only $17, I know unbelievable?????) But luckily since I wasn’t drinking I didn’t need to pay, that was the deal.

After a 2hr travel we made it to this incredible left hander and the boys went straight out. It was pumping 6-8ft and glassy as all hell. It would have to be one of my most favourites of times in life going up there with a bunch of friendly humans and sharing and shouting each other into the gnarliest waves. IMG_3855
