The first of many trips hopefully. Just a quick trip to Wellington by plane to see my brother... also been a while since I’ve flown and I like to get a feel for the public system as you never know when it’ll come in handy. As with everything these days it’s mostly done via apps etc.  that said I still prefer driving. 

 Yes indeed it’s back.... communal living. I’m not alone at mine anymore. This is in keeping with my plans for this year... which have a strong BOSS element to them.  The seed really was sown in 2019 or even 2017 or even way back in 2016 when I first thought of the idea of working for myself.  Sown in 2016, given serious consideration in 2017, actually started in 2018 and realised in 2019... which was the year that I embarked on more casual employment.  This means that I’m able to get time off more easily and do stuff that I was unable to do when working full time 9-5 etc.  living with business partners does have its perks... even if it means I don’t get the peace and quiet I’m used to. Dunno how long it’ll last... I’m hoping  it lasts the whole year. 

 ok so here it is in all it’s glory.  coming off from a good end of 2019 I started 2020 loving alone at mine. In fact the year can be defined as a pretty “lonely” year. In other words peace and quiet which meant it should have been good right?   For the most part it was.  It started with no money dramas and I was enjoying my jobs.  The news was reporting some mystery illness in China that was similar to the SARS outbreak in 2003 and was very contagious and he’d the potential to go global.  Well go global it did... this illness now dubbed COVID 19 really defined 2020 and for many ppl they seemed to hate the year as a result. As for me.... well I enjoyed it!  I’d rather all that than having my house raided, running out of money and going on food stamps and dealing with idiot flat mates with envy issues and violent visitors and worst of all a fire that easily could have killed me had I been able to fall asleep when I wanted to.  So yeah I’ll take bei...

haha I don’t do New Years resolutions.  I just do the same old thing every year... you know, just piss ppl off and drive them crazy.  I will put up a write up of 2020 sometime and will also rank it against previous years.  I don’t think it’ll be in the top 5 because of the last couple of months... which it was destined for but I don’t think it’ll be down with the 2015s and 2016s of this world and it may be better than the previous year 2019. 

 ah yes it’s finally happened... not long after my previous post I had a run in with the alleged riff raff lurking around in the early hours of darkness.  The confrontation occurred whilst I was delivering the Heralds at about 5am.  To cut a long story short some idiot on a push bike attacked me and threw a brick at my car.   I took 2 weeks off delivery as a result as all I wanted to do was run him over but decided to let the police handle it instead.  I am back delivering now but do plan to leave later on next year.  I have made changes to how I deliver... I’m starting much later now and doing a smaller run... it’s working well.  if a customer complains about the paper being late I’ll gladly fill em in on the degrading social situation here in New Zealand and East Auckland in particular. A few things have changed from me as a result... firstly I’m back in all my social media and intend to stay on there for the time being, secondly I’m a big supporter ...

 .... and of course my own pages.  Anyway a massive restructure that include me deleting my linked in and neighbourly account.  the eventual plan is still to delete everything but slowly one at a time... my own sites will be last... one of my Facebook pages is back on the queue... too much clickbait... not enough friend action.  usual bullshit.  ill be straight up 2020 has been a dead year friend wise like any other year in recent time.  it just happened to have a KICKASS period in April where idiots were locked in their playpens.  Ive made no secret that I really enjoyed lockdown.  social net work sites are for social networking... I don't really have friends as such... so social networking is not for me... but I play video games and eat and sleep... FB not needed for that.  

 yeah its finally being written up.  decided I had best write it up soon as we can then see how 2020 compares.  anyway... NUMBER 10: 2013:  at the time 2013 sucked... of course... it was the worst year at that stage... but unlike more recent years it lacked serious issues at home... in fact one of the few years involving tenants that didn't result in me evicting anyone... I think 2019 was another such year.  but on a bad note the rot started happening both with my job, my finances and my weight... this was the first year I was a legit fatty... in fact as far as im aware I hit my heaviest weight this year at 95kgs.  the highlight of the year was of course the Queenstown trip for my brothers wedding. NUMBER 9: 2017: the best of the recent years so far... largely due to lack of any major bullshit... and unlike other years no dramas with tenants... see how major this is a factor... that said work was causing issues.  this was the year I had made up my mind...
