Back again!

Well yes after what has seemed only a few months has actually been half a year! SO whats been happening?? Well im currently on the last week of my long service leave (boo)... But it sure has got WAY to quick for my liking.

So during the 6 weeks away from work I have been doing work! yeah sounds pretty stupid but half the house needed to be painted so its been a painting holiday (its seems anyways). Im currently in the early stages of painting the LAST room (the lounge room), to bad it has to be the most biggest room in the place (doh).

So what interesting things have happened in the past 6 months?!?!? Well to be honest not alot! kinda sad i think... Made some new friends on the net, been out with some umm interesting women (putting it mildly), still going to salsa at the mo, work still sucks and will be getting worse as i now have to do an afternoon shift very 2nd week (not happy about that).

Pretty much the usual shite to be honest! I managed to get away to Malaysia (pic above from the KL bird park) for a few days as well and did lots of site seeing, some shopping and other things :P

One thing that will be good once all the painting is done is that then i can concentrate on using my gym set up as it hasnt really been used much... Well back to it... (painting that is)

Happy New Year!

Well Happy New Year to everyone!

Its been a fair while since I last wrote mainly due to having a girlfriend and being really busy with work! But sometimes life likes to make things really interesting for you when you least expect and as of 11am (or so) yesterday I am now single again. Well it was fun while it lasted and the past 7 weeks sure went really quick.

SO my grand plans to spend a romantic new years with my now ex g/f didnt eventuate so i ended up hanging with Clae and Brooke and a pretty lame toga party but it sure beat being home alone!

Apparently I was the only one to have a relationship end with one of my best friends (Pete) telling me that his relationship with his g/f of 4 yrs had ended as well so at lease I wasnt alone there. I just wish that this year had of started on a more positive note but I just have to get my head back in the game and find the right chic this time! :)

later

Back online!

Well I finally am back on line (gotta love ADSL) so the weekend was busy putting in a new phone line and then surfing the net! somehow I managed to use up all my download limit in 12 hrs (downloaded Nets vs Raptors game) so this morning I had to phone up the phone company and increase my download limit to 5GB, just a bit more then the 500MB that I was on before!

But it was great to be able to chat to people that I havent spoken to in ages and catch up with what has been going on since March. In other news I am also in a competition with my Boss and another guy in the NBA Salary Cap Challenge. The winner gets 2 cartons of beer and so far Im ahead by 250 points so hopefully I will be able to extend that lead. Its pretty good this year as last year was my first year in it and learnt a lot so Im expecting to do alot better this year. Currently Im ranked 724 out of 180,000 people so its going pretty good!

This weekend was one of rest and relaxtion (for a change), the past couple of weeks have been madness and managed to get some more reticulation done. The next couple of weeks look like being pretty big weekends so it will be back to partying again! no rest for the wicked...

Welcome to the World!

Man its been another long day at work! Only 1 hour and 20 minutes to go (yay)
Anyways its been along time since I last wrote and time certainly does fly when your having fun or just plain busy! Well we have a new addition to the family, Lochlan Bradley who was born on the 24th October. Congrats to my bro and his wife! :p

Well last Saturday was a HUGE day as we had an event at Ascot race course (courtesy of one of our suppliers). 6 hours of drinking free beer and there was also a bbq as well. Not being a beer drinker I had to get used to drinking lots of beer and managed to cope quite well. That was only the start of the day!

A group of us ventured into Northbridge (firstly the Brisbane Hotel and then the Shed), somehow myself and Heath ended up by ourselves, well not quite as we managed to “hook up” with some very lovely young women who didn’t mind keeping us company (it’s a hard life sometimes).

Anyways we had fun and after 14 hours of drinking it was time to go! I think I’m still recovering because on Monday I was so dead that I struggled to get out of bed. Needless to say that I went to bed early that night, but the fun thing is that hopefully tomorrow night I will be partying hard again with Andy. You only live once so while Im single I figure that I might as well party hard and enjoy it before I end up spending my Saturday nights at home with a wife and kids.

On another note the NBA season has started and my team The Trailblazers started the season with a win over the Sonics, its gonna be along season especially with this young team. I don’t expect them to make the play offs but as long as they can improve from last season is the major thing.

I also just got hooked up to the net at home (yay broadband) but the company that Im going through forgot to send me the modem! so yeah really handy.... Hopefully next week I will be on line at home (hopefully)... later...

How sweet it is!

Hey all,

well it has been a fair while since i last wrote and Im currently working 5 and a half days a week so been kinda busy! Well it has been really hectic but the biggest news has to be the Eagles winning the AFL grand final by one point. It was the closest grand final in 40 yrs and after last years it was probably the most sweetest as well.

I ventured down to Australind for a Grand Final party and there was a few drinks drunk that day! It was great to catch up with many old friends that I havent seen in ages. Also my computer is up and going and when I get the chance I will have the net again at home, just trying to get some time off to get it done is another story! Hopefully in 2 weeks or so...

Havent had much luck with the whole net dating thing, pretty disappointing actually. I dont really rate it that highly to be honest, there are some women out there with serious issues so my advice to all single guys is dont expect much with net dating. As easy as it seems its probably better to meet women the old fashioned way, just get out and about! I currently have a few possibilities at the moment but nothing serious just yet...

The house is still slowly getting done up, i painted the gym room and now the fun bit of setting up the multi gym, to bad it was made in China as the instructions are bloody useless! I have been using "the force" to get it set up so far. Well must depart this wild and wacky scene (still at work). Later...

Payback!

My team The West Coast Eagles today beat the Crows by 10 points after being down by 22 points at one stage in the second preliminary final at AAMI stadium. SO now we meet the Swans again in a Grand Final rematch and this time its PAYBACK for last years loss. All I can say is goodluck to all the Eagles players and kick some Swan butt!

The offical website for The Eagles is http://westcoasteagles.com.au/

October fun

Thank god its Friday! Well to bad I still have to come in tomorrow… there is no justice :)

Anyways its been another busy period with work being mad and everything out of work being sheer madness! One thing that I have noticed is that even though I have 4 days off it just goes so damn quickly. Mental note - buy house ALREADY renovated.

Work is starting to get really sh#tty, we have so many people leaving its like we have a farewell party every weekend. The problem is that all the good people are leaving and we get stuck with all the dumb asses who have no idea and that no one else wants to employ.

At the moment I’m thinking about searching after next May when my long service leave is due, so till then I just have to be patient (that’s a full time job in itself).
Ray has mentioned that he will probably leave after March and once that happens I don’t really want to be around.

Luckily I now several people who work for employment agencies so that’s a bonus. But winning lotto would be rather nice :)

Having a look at my October schedule and its gonna be a busy month, my brothers wife is expecting mid October, Andy is playing at the Rise in battle of the DJ’s, a couple of salsa parties to go to and my Aunty is introducing me to some of her friends twin daughters from Ireland so hoping it’s a lucky month :p
