only 4 hrs! again

Hey,

Im currently trying to stay awake from another looooong night out. Having only just recovered from thursday night I decided to torture myself to another night out during my shift, usually I try and limit the amount of times I go out during my 4 day shift but being me I couldnt resist the temptation to go out to tea and then on to a nightclub.

This time i met up with Paul at Hans cafe, a great place for tasty asian food at really cheap prices. Then we ventured onto The Shed (a place full of feral country yokels), why you ask?? Well Paul loves the place (why i dont know), next time its gonna be the Deen! give me some of those old school funky RnB tunes and Im as happy as a pig in mud.

So now Im paying for it! I think I got about 4hrs sleep and getting up at 6am this morning was pretty hard, probably worse since its easter sunday and most NORMAL people were still asleep.
Anyways dragging my sorry a** to work isnt really the ideal thing to do on a sunday but its my last day then i get 4 days off (thank god). But the fun doesnt stop there, cos on my days off its back to renovating (mostly painting).

think it will be a early night tonight!

Snoop D!

Welcome back!

Well something that i did forget to mention in my last blog was seeing Snoop Dogg in concert. I have always wanted to see him live and finally got the chance last week. After heaps of hype, I must say (and also according to many articles) i was rather disappointed. Clae and myself lined up at 6pm and finally got to go in just before 7:30, at 8pm we had some DJ play for a bit then some unknown band. They were pretty damn average and all the crowed (and myself) wanted was for Snoop to get on stage.

After three and a half hours of waiting we finally were entertained by the man himself! By this stage my feet were hella sore, standing in the same spot for hours generally does that! Anyways once he got going it was good but for $120 it really wasnt worth it. We got the premium tickets so were 5 metres away from the stage, 2 days later and my ears were still ringing!

After reading several articles which pretty much said much harsher things about the concert (which I had to agree with) but being a Snoop fan it was good to finally realise a dream, Hopefully next time when he comes back it will be alot better!

alive and kicking!!!

Hey all!

yes i am still alive and extremely busy! well since i last wrote i have moved into the duplex and living the life of a bachelor. The move itself was just so fun, it turned out to be one of the hottest weekends this year and the humidity was shocking BUT we all managed to get the job done.

So far i have been slowly getting things done around the house, i havent started painting just yet but will hopefully be started soon! Normally i would have the help of my folks to help with a lot of things but they are themselves getting there place ready to sell so its just be me! Last weekend I got the surround sound system all hooked up with the help of my oldest friend Dwayne. The fast and the Furious has never sounded so good....

For a while i was "dating" a particularly attractive young lady from salsa BUT the dreaded "just want to be friends" phrase reared its ugly head and its back to business in that area.

I am still going to salsa but due to my roster being changed at work, i cant get to the early classes and the level i am on now is on at the early session, typical! but apparently the style that i am doing (casino) is going to be slowly phased out and replaced with "millenium". I dont know how different they are but will have to eventually change over at some point.

The amount of people doing salsa is slowly declining (that i have noticed) so maybe thats part of the reason. My usual social dance partner "Leah" left about 4 weeks ago to travel the world for 12 months (some people are lucky) so dancing with different women each week has been interesting.

Probably the BIGGEST news has been that my brother and wife are expecting a baby! Yes I am going to be an uncle again. So mum has been running around buying baby stuff and spent 2 days on the phone telling people (according to Dad). Interesting times ahead...

Back to the house though, I am finding that i am turning into Tim "the toolman" Taylor! nearly every break i have I am checking out new tools and am thinking about buying a chainsaw! which could be a dangerous thing...

anyways gotta get back to work but will try and post some photos later on, just have to add that to the increasing long list of things to do....
