I still need to wander over to the flat and empty it of the rest of the junk. So, I’ll do that tomorrow. Tonight however; I have plans to hit the town. In a BIG way; lock up your daughters people!!!
I’m so glad I like live 5 seconds from town now, this is gonna be such a radical day for me ;p muwahahahahaha…..you have to live live for the now, and forget about yesterday, don’t bother thinking about tomorrow, it hasn’t happened yet!
It’s PAAAAAARTAY TIME!
I am now connected to my new ADSL2 – 16Meg connection in my new apartment. Although I’m running it wireless – it’s still AWESOME!! I can sleep easy tonight. HEHE….
Had a real basic problem occur today at work, which I should have spotted straight away, but faffed around for a while before that “DOH!” moment hit….meh oh well…never make ‘that’ mistake again!!
So, I am pretty much moved into my new digs flatting with one of my new bessy mates Courtney! Everything went a lot smoother than I could have imagined even transporting my sofa-bed was less than a chore thanks to Rachael’s (from band) dad with his “Tank” hehe people carriers are ace cars!! Since moving in, I’ve been a bit of a party demon; I was out Friday just gone till 1 am, then on Saturday I was out till 5am!! If anything I feel like I am getting younger not older if that makes sense? I guess I am more suited to city life than I thought.
I’ll take it all in moderation of course…as I don’t want to risk growing bored of it. There’s even a small family living at our flat, a pigeon has nested just outside on the balcony and now has a couple of chicks.
In other news, the corner of my head made it onto TV One News on Saturday as I was doing the Kickaldie & Staines Christmas Window Display Fanfares with the band and also welcoming Santa along, I guess this marks the start of the Christmas banding season, so I’ll be out a lot with the band over the next couple of weeks….
Andrew (bro!!) if you read this, I am really sorry I have not managed to call again to wish you a happy birthday, but I’ve been in the middle of a move and just a little distracted, I’ll get in touch soon and have a chinwag ;p
Hmmm….think that covers things for now.
Oh no!!! Wait!!! I went to a preview showing of the new James Bond movie yesterday too (I have the right friends yay!!!) it rocks, it ROKS BIGTIME!! I thouroughly recommend you watch it, has all the hallmarks of Bond – the title sequence, the opening action sequence, the bond girl…the only noticable lack from this movie was no ‘Q’ but that doesn’t diminish the film at all.
Ok that’s all for now folks blogs ya laterz…..
Here we are in the final countdown….kinda! As of tomorrow/Friday I will be living in the heart of Wellington City. I have boxes everywhere, bits and bobs, bags of horde, bags of rubbish, stuff…and my PC and Laptop…lol!! I have my work cut out….
In other news..? HAPPY BIRTHDAY ANDREW!!!! I’ll ring you later and have a chat etc….been a bit distracted this last couple of weeks 
Laterz….for now…
So, I’ve been growing a Moustache in the name of good causes for nearly a month now! I’ve not had a huge charitable responce, but hey it was still an interesting exercise; because I looked in the mirror today, and instead of seeing myself…I saw my Grampy?!?!!
How mad is that? Once the month is done, I will take a pic, and also scan a pic of Grampy so you can see what I mean! Funny old world….it’s a shame really. Despite the family resemblance this moustache has born; it isn’t here to stay – sadly; it’s pure torture….I hate moustaches!
In other news….I move into my new appartment (flat share with fellow MSD Colleague) on Thursday. I’ve booked the day off in preparation for the to’ing and fro’ing I’m going to have to do, to transfer my “Horde” over….the benefits of this new location? More space, sane (kinda) company, and close to the centre of city (paaaarty!!!!)….bring it on!
With the thunder, comes rain. Hail the size of golf balls. More rain, lightening that flashes across the whole place. All of this just an emotion inside the head. not real weather; but the weather of the human heart. Such is the journey of a person who suffers daily with depression. I have first hand knowledge of this. More so than I care to admit to the world, as I have always “managed” my weather without resorting to those lesser roads, of self depreciation including self harm etc…
The one thing that keeps me going I guess is my unique view of weather of any form, it is something mutable. It’s never permanent. Changes are all part of the human condition so – what’s the problem? Sometimes – meh! I just can’t ellaborate in a sufficient manner I guess what I realkly mean…..??? Maybe later…..
I don’t personally consider myself a sufferer of depression. Not any more. As any form of “episode” that hits me is short-lived enough to be brushed away in the blink of an eye. I’m lucky. Hundreds and Thousands out there don’t have the same luxury as me. That is why I decided to grow a moustache for November (Movember). Now we are at the halfway point; and I have yet to get a single pledge for the chosen charity which works with and for male depression. I guess I best pull my socks up eh? tell you what I’ll post a photo of my “MO’Bro” look soon!
Looks like I am on the move into a little flat share in the city, all the mod-cons and close to everything, and I mean everything! I can walk to work; and fall into the place after a night on the town. I do believe I may have found my own bit of Wellingtonian Nirvana!
Obviously I’m not there yet, and I don’t want to preempt anything; so I’ll post again once things are confirmed.
On the 11th hour, of the 11th day, of the 11th month here in New Zealand I found a quiet moment with a colleague to spend 2 minutes in silent contemplation; thankful for the health we are able to enjoy through the sacrifice of those who fell for our futures.
We will remember, and for me, no matter where I am in the world. I will remember.
