Computers Want Me Dead – We Walk In Circles 4:07

Ended up having a wicked day working out the river, sucked up plenty of sun, and thankfully the aerial span wasn’t too much of a mess.
Tomorrow is my last day for a bit, and Sarah’s already planning on getting me to ferry her off to the Hawkes Bay, Personally I’d like to spend some time sitting in my own space for once this holiday season, maybe hit the beach and visit some more friends – possibly catch up with Steve and Kai properly.

We’ll see who has the larger will (read; we will see how long until Sarah gets her way) I’m fed up with driving, so far in the last few months we’ve done Northland, Auckland, Te Puke and several days ago I drove to Taupo and Back to pick them up, not to mention the excursions down south and around the place on a regular basis… So I rally can’t be farked with tripping this long weekend.

Deep Dish ft. Stevie Nicks – Dreams 3:47

Wow so many great things to update about, lets begin with Steve Joyce, Here’s a man who has nearly converted me to the dark side of supporting the national party.
In his short time in office he’s managed to do what local government should have done in the 50’s, he’s come in swinging his gigantic nut sack and given Transmission Gully the go ahead, its quit funny that the wench who throws rate payers money around down there has jumped on the bandwagon, now that her rate payers dont have to pay towards it, but i’ll take a $5 shot in the mouth for some fucking progress around here, so a toast to Mr Joyce for seeing some sense, its about time!

Christmas, Jesus is not the bloody reason for the season.
Pagans were celebrating this time of year with light festivals, tree’s etc when Jesus and God where idea’s in some sick schizophrenics head, maybe that’s a little harsh – far be it from me to judge people on there belief’s, seriously though I listen to a fair bit of Newstalk ZB these days and the religious idiocy over this bloody Joseph and Mary in bed billboard has had me in stitches, These people are happy to judge everyone unchristian, and as soon as an arch decon throws up a questionable billboard in the name of making good conversation – may I add getting more people interested in a religion so out of touch with people its not funny – they get violent, start preaching hate and inevitably sin by defacing it and then stealing it, shame on you 90% of ZB’s fanbase (read; the elderly) and a toast to the arch decon, I hope the billboard finds its way back up soon.

Oh and by the way, the reason for the season is family and friends you self serving small minded bible bashers.
We had our’s early so it’s outta the way.

Mike D moving back to Levin – How awesome is that, we can frolic through the long grass once again, plat each others silky hair and have pillow fights!
Seriously though great new’s Levin is great and all but I miss most of my old flatmate’s/ friends, and I could use the cat eyed ones help on the car when I get to my next point.

We’ve found a home to buy, in our price range, with a huge sub dividable back lawn, we’ve done the math and can afford it all, so pending on the bank giving us the go ahead there could be a very excited update in the near future, I’m extra excited because “She Who Must Be Obeyed” has agreed to let me build a decent sized shed for the golf, one step closer to a track toy!

Family – For those not in the know, Riki is back from Australia, its great having him around again, Sadie nearly loves him as much as her Grandad.
Oh and Sadie is standing on her own, dancing and drumming on thing’s, every day I come home from work and she manages to cheer me up, finally someone who loves music as much as me, She and Cia are heading up to the in-laws for Christmas, I’m working through (hence the aforementioned “early Christmas”) So I may pop down to Welly in the evening…

Anyways happy pagan light festival everyone
And a merry Christmas too.

Yeah Yeah Yeahs – Zero 4:54

Sadie came out of surgery and had dropped alot of weight, I could hardly recognize her, however she bounced back big time, and is once again the happiest little critter ever.

Apparently she is now full time formula (I havent seen her or her mother in a week as theyre up north visiting family)

I bought a new car, its a 1997 Mitsubishi Diamante 3.5ei (3.5L V6 Electronic Injection) Its the top of the line model for its year, with electric seats, full leather, CD stacker etc etc, the main reason for doing this was to get sarah off my back about how poorly suited the Golf is for a family, but other reasons include the chance to get the golf ff the road and start it as a project car finally, to get credit history (ive managed to survive up until now without one) something a bit bigger – particularly for longer trips to visit the in-laws, something a bit safer yadda yadda ya.

So never fear the golf is still in the family, and its still very much my biggest hobby (not to mention a money pit) one day I’ll be able to teach Sadie how to drive in it… really fast… around Taupo track 2

Lifes to do list.
-Find a suitable house, get a mortgage before the world crawls ut of the house its in (double garage or garage with carport)
-Electrician course (something to look into after Telco Level 3/4)
-Sarahs licence sorted
-Buy a boxer puppie

Oh and last but not least congrats to Hayley and Jared, your daughter is gorgeous guys

Modest Mouse – Discography

So I’ve made the change over to Downer EDi. which is merging with Works to become Downer New Zealand and you know what, its not all that different to working for Transfield Services.

I’ve been doing Cable locates for the last couple of month’s, which has been great for meeting and getting to know the different contractors from Wellington, through Palmerston North, however It sounds like i’ll be going onto Cable Pressure, which is all good, because its a handy specialty to have up your sleeve (most large trunk cables have pressure pumped through them)

Sadie has to head down to Wellington on Tuesday for an ultrasound, and to become nil-by-mouth until Wednesday when she has surgery, Kevin is coming down again, hopefully this time I’ll be able to help out a bit too, although I have a mandatory Drug test and physical on the Tuesday.

Other than that she’s the happiest little lass I’ve ever met, she ALWAYS manages to cheer me up with the cheeky grin she inherited from her mother, she’s propping herself up onto her knee’s and is very stubbornly teaching herself to crawl (when she isn’t attempting to give her mother a heart attack by gallipoli rolling off everything possible)

Anyways I guess I should go and spend some time with my family now I’ve got some downtime from work

peace out y’all

Bob Marely & The Wailers – Coming In From The Cold – 4:12

The VW is at the mechanic’s, its had its two rear tyres and break shoes replaced, and is currently waiting on a front left headlight to get it warrant.

I’ve been in to several meetings with DownerEDi “Engineering” (soon to be DownerEDi NZ) and I’ve got my new uniforms etc, apparently my new XT mobile comes into my grubby mits on Monday, the same day I head down to Ngarunga to pick up my P.P.E and take my mandatory drug and health test (hopefully nothing nasty will show up)

So things are mostly good, I worked most of the day today, extra money on the weekend will come in handy paying off the mechanic, then at lunch time I ran into Riki from College, who also has a daughter, around the same age as Sadie, which was pretty interesting, He’s been working at Top Glass in Levin for 5 year’s – nice to see another friendly face in the region.
