da happz

Ok you know how i was planning those 4 outings.... well lets just say that things mite not turn out as they expected... then again they never do haha. The overlander trip to Wellie has now been cancelled and the trip to Queensland in Jan next year is now up in the air.  But the trip to Sydney for New Years to see Craig may still go ahead. also going ahead is the plane trip to Wellie to see Paul and this is now happening in just over a weeks time... on May 9th.  But of course i going with mum and dad so really don't have to do much apart from gettin ready haha... lookin forward to it.  Interesting to see how i handle being on a plane. Anyway speaking of hols i will be on holiday in late June and early July... this was so i could go on da train to wellie but now i'm just gonna chill in akl... hopefully do some kitesurfing etc.  Maybe some social outings but i guess it just depends on how things work out in the next few months. We played pool on Thursday nite....

At the end of 1999 i was started to know the burgers... at the start of the new mellinium it was DEAD as a dodo for half an hour.... then it went NUTS!!  This was by far the most busiest shift i had at maccas... this was wild but it was fun too as it was a party sorta atmosphere and everyone was happy cos it was the year 2000! haha stoked. But before long reality set in and life was normal.  My cousin Eddie married his long time girlfriend Tina in Feb of that year.  I wasn't feeling too good... quite knackered, edgy etc.  Within a few days THING II was in session and basically the same crap that happened as in 1999.  Of course i knew what it was but you still have the panic attacks.  This time round it was mostly anxiety and tenseness as opposed to full blooded panic attacks and yep the weight went down again.  It had risen slightly since i started at maccas... got up to about 78kgs... but now it was plummeting again and bottomed out at 67kgs... i wa...

This was the last of many things for me and at the end of the year signalled an abrupt turn in career path.  But at the start of the year it was business as usual.  saw in the new year at a friends place... quite a few of us from church.  Although i didn't go to church on a regular basis i still hung with christians quite a bit as the eastside god squad was at its peak right about now.  The latest addition to the group was Craig's friend Sajin from tech.  however this year would definately see me distance myself from the church even further... def drifting away this year.  I still had my shoulder injury to contend with but for my new hobby windsurfing it wasn't causing too many problems.  I would windsurf lots.... it totally took over from surfing and infact i didn't do much surfing or bodyboarding that year. why go all the way out to piha when you can just windsurf down the road?  However the conditions that summer were great for surfing and we...

Been out quite a few times.  went to driving range yday with Wazza.  Went to starbux the nite before with Wazza, Skot and Duffy... so yeah a guys outing.  On thursday nite though we had a big night out starting with Starbux and then ended with pool.  Jaxx came along too... wasn't expecting her to tag along and play pool but she did and as allways she looked the part.  I've been helping Jaxx do some furniture moving as her son is moving flats again.  The pics of the outing are on my facebook page... i do eventually plan to have my own website up and running but in da mean time my main webpage is facebook. I still need to get a WOF for da sentra... now at times like this i'm glad i bought the Jeep.  unfortunately the jeep has no bike rack so can't do the c motor rounds at work.. so stuck on da bike out rounds at da mo.  These rounds are 42,23 and 49.. they are really nice rounds but i do miss that fuel allowance that you get with rounds like 45, 5...

1998 was the first year that i stopped going to church on a regular basis.  It was also the first year that i fully got into watersports.  In 1997 it was surfing mostly but i only went out with Alan, Tim and Craig.  This year i would start going out by myself.  I also got into bodyboarding.  I still had my mitsi mirage that i got in 1994 and being a hatch i could fit my 7ft 6in mini mal in the car so didn't need a roofrack.  I immediately took to bosyboarding and now i could ride waves without getting smashed every time.  Still i really only rode waves no taller than my height.  The 97/98 summer was very hot and dry and the weather was amazing.  Lots of time in da water, not so much surfing but more just hanging out in the local eastside swimmin holes... no waves there.  96/97 summer was also quite warm at da end with a very defined sultry spell in March of 1997.... this would continue in da 98/99 summer too... 99/00 was more back to n...

1997 was another one of those big years.  got inot surfing right at the beginning of the year but found out it was real scary... pretty much got my ass kicked by the surf when i went out... really struggled... in fact even now in 2010 i STILL can't surf.  this was one sport that i NEVER was able to tame... PWNED!  However i learnt valuable respect for mother ocean and whilst i never took to surfing i got into bodyboarding and i did do better at this... however for most of 1997 i was surfing with Tim and Craig and occasionally went bodyboarding with Alan and Andrew Seward.  Infact this year would see me really start hanging with these 3 christian brothers.  I still hung with Josh but not like in 1996.... still he came to some of our outings and he allready knew the Seward brothers. I worked fulltime at stringer engineering but now just mostly a dogsbody...  when i was put on a machine it normally ended in tears... i was really shite there now.  infact...

1996 was a semi transitional year for me... it was basicially the very very start of my imfamous "10 years of seperation" which didn't really officially start until 1997. Anyway with Tim and Aaron gone from the church i basically had to sorta start afresh with my mates at church.... not too hard considering that i had Stipe, Craig and the arrivial of 3 brothers from another church who would be huge in da next 10 years at least.  They were Andrew, Phil and Alan Seward.  All 3 were engineers and all 3 fitted into the eastside god squad perfectly.  Then there was Josh who i hung around with HEAPS in 1996. Got into rockclimbing this year too, and computer games, still doing the gym (i used to go with one of my mates who lived down da road from in Cornelian... Skot Arnold). So yeah i was quite busy... unfortunately Tech was on its way out... failing terribly this year and dropped out midway through the year.  This also adversly affected my job at Stringer engioneeri...
