Busy!

Well it just isnt gettting any quieter for yours truly, first of all the Bali trip is about to be changed after the bombings that occured. So Paul and myself will be going to the travel agent tomorrow and see if we can go elsewhere, probably KL and Langkawi (hopefully). A holiday is seriously needed right now!!!!

Work has been sheer madness, the Boss went home sick with a stress related illness (not to sure if I was responsible) but I then had to endure the shite, not the best week as our I.S. dept decided that they would implement a new system which managed to turn my job into pure hell. Thankfully they managed to get it going again but I definately slept well when i got home each night. The Stooge of the Month was postponed as I didnt really have time to do any research and frankly no one really stood out, which was rather disappointing.

Went to the car auctions yesterday with Dad, just to do some recon on some cars. I hadnt had any intention of buying BUT being a typical male I got caught up in the mo (although i was spurred on by Dad, who was more excited about the auction then myself). Anyways I ended up buying a VY Commodore, I got it for $14,800 which is pretty cheap since they normally sell at the dealers for 20 Grand up wards so was pretty impressed. It was a bit of a risk though as i hadnt intended to buy a Commodore and only had a quick look a the cars before the Auction.

Once the Auction got started it was on! Cars being sold at stupidly low prices and after seeing many cars and getting close to the end, the VY (there was heaps of them) came up and the bidding started at 13 Grand, I thought to myself "f*ck it" and threw my hand up. I set myself a limit of 15 Grand and when it got to 14,500 I thought that it was gonna keep going as the bidding was pretty intense but as quickly as it started it stopped at 14,800. My heart was going a million miles per hour and was still in shock that i got the car, after paying the deposit we had a look over it and it is pretty mad i must say. I will be picking it up tomorrow so will get some photos published when i can.

The ironic thing about it all is the VY is an ex cop car and I got pulled over by the police last Wednesday night, apparently the tacho gauge in the Enigmah might have been obscuring my vision (yeah and monkeys fly out of my butt). The REAL reason was because they (the police) had been speeding and got caught by a multi nova camera so quick thinking by them and I was the unlucky person to get pulled over. Why they did this was because if they hadnt of pulled me over they would have gotten in trouble for speeding for no particular reason, so I was pretty much there escape goat. Nice stuff! Definately a candidate for Stooge of the Month!

October!

Hello and welcome to Singledom for the first day of October!

Well its been an interesting past week and a half, it sure hasnt been boring thats for sure with all the things that have gone on. First of all my car decided to play up and it turned out to be a broken valve spring, really handy since i was supposed to be driving down to Australind for a Grand Final party (which turned into a wake).

Luckily i managed to get a lift down with Ben on Saturday morning which was made interesting with Ben's CD collection keeping me amused. Talk about variety! we had the stereo cranking with The Beach Boys and a some of my fav funky RnB tunes, to bad the Eagles ended up losing by 4 points in a really close game.

But as there was a big group of us we pretty much consoled each other and kept drinking! It was a good weekend to catch up with everyone and also a big congrats to Dave and Alana on the impending arrival (well in about 8 months) of there first baby.

It was a long drive back on Sunday with lack of sleep not helping, having to work Monday wasnt something to look forward to but it was pretty quiet. The car (having been fixed supposedly) decided to play up again so I had to drive Dad's car around. Thankfully its running pretty sweet now but Im seriously considering selling it and updating with a newer car. But what to get is another headache, so its research mode on what i want.

Salsa has been ok but for some reason i have been struggling lately with my timing so I have to knuckle down and work harder at it as I dont intend to be one of those guys that no chick wants to dance with. The Bali count down is on, just under 4 weeks to go and really looking forward to getting away from it all.

Anyways gotta scoot, so later!
