Them Crooked Vultures – No One Loves Me & Neither Do I 5:10

Thrasher and I got to hang out yesterday, hanging out consisted of her making me walk place’s… IN THE RAIN!
It was actually heaps of fun, managed to explore most of the river’s around Levin, watch Rob and Sarah’s dog “Grace” run off down the beach chasing seagulls etc etc

Sure beats getting drunk and playing xbox 360 on my own all afternoon.

he White Knight was right (that rhymes yeyaaaaah) Them Crooked Vultures album grows on you after a few listens, anyone who listens to “Nobody loves me & neither do I” and doesn’t bang their head at 2 minutes 44 is dead.

Are we living? Or merely Killing time.

I’ve been really really slack… But your used to that, or not reading this anymore…
Anyways update’s, Sarah and Sadie are up North for a freakin month! and I’m starting to suffer separation anxiety only matched by post natal woman, I’m getting over this by calling them every day, and enjoying the lack of toys to trip over in the house ruthless demands when I get home from work and general single male life… it almost makes me pin for the stoner student days of yore.
Seriously though it’s been sucky without my girls… again.

I took the parents to AC/DC in Wellington last Saturday, automatically cemented itself as one of the best gigs I’ve managed to catch, was nice to randomly run into sister Amy and an old old old mate (like Waiopehu, girls have cooties, Halo is the newest videogame ever oldschool) Barney.

I went and impulse buyed Ra’s old Uke, and have been self teaching myself Pink Floyd – Wish You Were Here on it slowly but surely.
Then Cheese won tickets to the 7’s this Saturday just been so we partied it up like a pair of crazy mofo’s, Rob and Sarah I apologiz for the mess.
Had a wicked catch up with the White Knight and ended up back home for a day of sleeping on Sunday.

Work wise I’ve just found out im on my last week of provisioning so hopefully the next 3 to 6 months will be a bit more physical labour orientated…

because im fatter than ever, and cant war my favourite bikini to the beach!

Will endeavour to be less slack with blog updates.

The inspiration for turning the mk2 into a track project, Heres one scary mk1 straight from Jaffaville… I Present project poo.

Now getting past my VW fetish for today, I have a new all time favourite magazine FS, or Free Style magazine has to be the best value for money for the bargain price of $10 you get Minitrucks, Choppers, Hot Cars, Tattoo culture, Art, Music, Skateboarding and Woman too.
Packaged in a mixture of Gloss and Matt paper with a spine so it looks good on the bookshelf.

The Layout is somewhat lacking, when compared to the polished trife we are used too in NZ (the likes of NZPC and Manual) but it makes up for that with bulk material… all im waiting for now is it to flop in NZ… or worse off go the way of all my old favourites… as in chok full of advertisments with a magazine thrown in as after-thought.

Another Thing i’ve been getting into, and rather late I admit, is Big Bang Theory, its unfortunate that its a sitcom, as I general rule I neglect anything with a laugh track, unfortunate because I’ve kept off watching it for so long.

Anyways catch you on the flip flop
