I met Stipe in 1995. Definately one of the most eccentric friends i've ever had. like other members of EGS we hung out lots in the late 90s. however the big year for us was in the year 2000.... i went surfing with him heaps after Maccas graveyard shift... huge trips up north in what was my best ever year for surfing. as of late we don't hang out much. Stipe and his equally crazy brother Elvis live just down the road from Jaxx... despite being worlds apart in personality. Certainly a chance of us hanging out again in the future.

Ok part of the muskateers... well she sorta joined later on. We met in 2006 at maccas. the first experience i had with her was on guyfawks night 2006 when she wanted to go to EB with me. Now knowing her reputation as a bit of a slut back then i was a tad worried that she was gonna hit on me... i needent have worried... instead of going in my car as feared i met her at EB and she was with her BF Devon (who is now one of my best friends and gym buddy). 2007 between us was very very quiet until she was asking Blair about me on bebo. blair of course is one of my kiting m8s... gr8 kiter btw. in 2008 we started hanging out occasionally at the start... starbux with teena, eva and jaxx i think. but July onwards she was one of my main contacts and from then on shes been on of the main ppl i hang with.... and until just recently we've been gr8 friends. In July however she too started to have issues with me and vice versa... prob cos we hung out too much and the last 2 months have bee...

i've actually known Craig since 1991 so along with Tim has been one of my longest friendships. started hanging out lots in the late 90s where he was part of our faction known as the eastside god squad.... basically we were all single christian and male and did everything from surfing to wharfjumping etc. craig took up surfing in 1997 but like myself he never really grasped it. he did occasionally go windsurfing with me in 1999 and in that year he introduced me to Sajin (his mate from tech). In 2001 he moved to Sydney OZ but has made several visits back to NZ since and we still keep in contact. We will prob allways be friends.... like Tim this friendship is on a good foundation and distance once again is keeping it intact

andrews brother. we met in 1996 at st johns church. we hung out lots from 1997 till 2003 as we went bodyboarding and surfing (1997 to 1999) and then kitesurfing from 2001 to 2003. infact Alan actually was the person who got me into the sport of kitesurfing. in 2002 Alan met susan and this sorta eventually got Alan away from kitesurfing... despite Susan herself being a kiter. Alan hardly ever kites now and we haven't seen each other 4 ages... although more recently than Josh. so yeah part of that clan of christian single males that i hung with in the late 90s... oh the good old days.

Ok this is without doubt one of the wierdest friendships i've ever had. the only thing we have in common is the fact that we both love food... and back at maccas in 2006 that was what got our very interesting friendship started. Jaxx and Eva and Bex were part of the reason for my change in personality from april of 2008 onwards. that fact that i would dress up to go to starbux with Jaxx (jackie) WHEN IT WAS WINDY sent major signals that i had changed. In a way this still happens but far less often now than what it did in 2008. Now this friendship certainly wasn't without its flashpoints. from May 2008 i started getting envious of her popularity and saw her as a RIVAL. This still continues to this day but in 2009 things died down heaps. When i landed the job at NZP i had planned to slowly distance myself from Jaxx (i was able to now cos i wasn't seeing her everyday at maccas where she was still working). I saw her as a threat to my previous lifestyle and that she was ...

I met up with Josh in 1995 at Manukau Tech as we were doing the same course. Religion also had a part to play as we were both christians. From 1995 till 2000 it was basically me, him, andrew and craig. We hung out lots. every week in 1996 me and Josh used to go rockclimbing and bowling etc and we even went to skycity in October of that year... my only ever visit to a casino. the four of us had lots in common. young, single and christian we hung out lots. this was before andrew got a girlfriend, before Craig went to OZ. in the 21st century the friendship fell away and from 2005 onwards i haven't heard from josh at all. No way on contacting him as he moves house quite a bit. i know he's still around as one of his mates in on facebook. Josh however isn't on FB as far as i'm aware.

Me and Andrew started hanging out in early 1996. We have lots in common, bodyboarding, electronics, religion etc and for the remainder of the 1990s me, him, Josh and Craig used to hang out lots.... great times. From 2000 onwards our group sorta fell to bits but me and Andrew have been gr8 mates ever since. In 2007 Andrew got a girlfriend called Tania and this definately put the brakes on us hanging out lots. At the mo Andrew is overseas but will be back in January. We certainly don't hang out often now but still do especially over summer as he's in to many of the sports i'm ino... rockclimbing, buggying, wharfjumping etc.

I've been friends with Tim since 1992. Me met at church and he found out i was keen on RC car racing... (that was what i did back then). I never thought for a minute that we would still be gr8 mates 17 years later haha.... but its happened. it certainly wasn't allways like that... for 3 months in 1995 we didn't speak to each other cos of "minor religious matters"... thats all i'll say haha but basically i was being a real idiot... as i did back then. l8r on that year Tim left the church and in 1996 got into surfing. He of course got me into it... well tried to but i wasn't able to handle myself in the waves and prefered going either by myself or with Alan. Tim is extremely confident and assertive and whilst i never really liked going surfing with him (we was way too out of my league in da waves otherwise i would i would have loved surfing with him) he did start the ball rolling for me in watersports.... surfing, then bodyboarding... windsurfing and th...

mmmmmm hahahahaha a lot of stuff has happened. i bought another car... a jeep actually lol. it goes great too and that means i can sorta take the pressure off the sentra a bit... get some work done to it etc. unfortunately though the suzuki jeep i bought doesn't have a towbar on it so using it for work is gonna be a problem if i'm on a driveoutrun... which i am expecting to be on when i get back to work in 2 days time. ok i didn't do much kiting but never intended to.... as mentioned before i'm refusing to hardcore get back into kitesurfing... definately not yet anyway. will still go out if great conditions but certainly not living at da beach thats for sure. will give the muskateers as much time as i can over the summer in one last throw of the dice. The muskateers of course are the guys i knew from maccas.... Jaxx, Duff, Eva etc. what happens over summer will basically dictate where things go next year. things are slowly parting between me and the origional m...

oh well i know that i have issues but at least i now know that they certainly ain't caused by my job. never thought they were but the fact that i still have these rejection issues on holiday means that my job is fine. anyway as mentioned before i'm on holiday. now imo some of my friendships are THIS close to ending. its apparant that some ppl have issues with me but of course they never tell me. If they are true friends then you'd think they'd tell you but i guess they're not true friends so i'll leave it up to them to sort their shit out. i have better things to do.... meant to be windy today of my mates that do care (and some of them are genuine) i got a haircut from Tim on saturday arvo. Tim is still keen on hanging out and he's great at cutting hair too. although i'm of the opinion now that my forehead MUST be covered cos it is UGLY... so next time Tim we'll leave the fringe nice and long... cheers mate. that basically all i'd change.....

well lets just say that i'm one pissed off individual with an attitude to boot. i was told by one of my female friends that i'm as moody as any chik... and that means i am MOODY lol. the thing is though that whilst i have chik moods i now know whats been causing it and have been dealing with it how a MAN deals with it... in other words ELIMINATE IT. i seldom go on facebook now... and then only to upload kite pics... its basically gonna be a kitesurfing site... i seldom look at other ppls sites now so i'm taking the "social" out of social networking hahahaha. the problem is definately facebook. not so much facebook itself... its setup brilliantly and its a good website.. but just the ppl that use it and everyones ego... bloody hell it pisses me off... so i'm out of there... kitesurfing only. the only exceptions are for mafia wars and replying to messages.... and those are rare. thios works out well cos i don't have to make another website for a kiteb...
