Counting down the days to fatherhood


The time is so very close to becoming parents for the first time for us.

We are so anxious, but can hardly wait.

Be aware that my posts will become brief and rare.

If I go silent for long enough, it might be safe to assume I'm a gloating daddy and too busy for a silly blog! :-)

I hope for nothing more than a healthy bundle of joy.

I hope for nothing more than an easy birth for my wife.


I hope for everything to be perfect.


To catch up on everything so far, here's my baby posts in order:

Should we tell everyone what the gender of our baby is?

How to choose a name for your baby 

Unborn babies speak to their mother from the womb through dreams

Third Trimester - It's slowly starting to sink in

Our baby is too small for the third trimester

Why baby is a bit small

An anxious wait, not long until baby is born


Can't wait to tell the whole story, when I am able to.

Defining Photo of Queensland Floods


Share






I recently found this photo.  Look at how high the flood got to!
It defines the devastation of the recent Qld floods.

The Wheelie bin hangs from powerlines at Goodna after ending up there during the floods that swept through Brisbane and Ipswich, January 14, 2011

Crazy :-(

Remember the spirit of us Aussies always shines bright. We'll get through it.

My 2010 in videos


Reflecting on my 2010, here are my top 10 videos that reflected my year.

10. DJ Earworm - United State of Pop 2010 (Don't Stop the Pop) - Mashup of Top 25 Billboard Hits


This is a mashup of the top songs for 2010.  I can't say I am really a 'pop' kind of person, but the wife takes over the radio on the drive into work everyday.  This reminds me of all the music I had to deal with over the year.

9. Queen - I Want to Break Free







This is for people I had to deal with that I didnt want to!  Grr!! It has nothing to do with my desire to wear womens clothing :-)

8. It's Peanut Butter Jelly Time






Ahhh, soo many fond memories.

7. Starcraft 2






What fun I had with Starcraft2.  Bored online, late at night, learning about Planetary Fortress rush.  This example wasn't how I did it, but how this guy/girl did it was very special. Great game, great times!

6. Homes Under the Hammer


Watched this plenty of times and was always reminiscing about being in London whenever watching it, but with our 'renovation' projects, this sort of show and thoughts was often watched and spoken about.

5. Bad Habits






Some people have bad habits and i've dealt with a lot this year.  This songie well states them.

4. Quake






This is what me and a few buds do weekly.  Quake!  Not quite like this video, but still pretty sweet.

3. Letters & Numbers

Ohh yes, a show for nerds. FYI - Lily, you're a babe ;-)

2. Queen - We Are The Champions






Yeah, another Queen song, but this song was playing when we found out what gender our baby is going to be.  Kinda something that will stick in my mind, until I forget it :-)

and the number one video in the life of Tork is


1. Lion King - The Circle of Life






Every now and then throughout the year, I'd skreetch out a crappy version of the first few lyrics around the house of this song, but that's not why this is number one.  It is because my wife and I are expecting our firstborn middle next year.  When it pops out, whatever gender it is, I am finding a rock and reliving this scene from the movie.   ..and we can't wait :-)

Enjoy!
