The Wonderful Life of HMP

Lings

2005-09-25T13:10:00.000+10:00

Woke early to start work early and work all day. We made budget! Woo hoo... hope you're proud Amanda... lol.

After work got a call from Chris Ling inviting me to come over for a coffee and chat... so stopped in at his on the way home. Had planned to go to church, as quite a few people were expecting to see and catch up with me there... but ended up chilling and resting at Chris' place.

While chillin out, then got a message from Dan asking if i wanted to go to Star City with him and the boys... unfortuantely i was very tired, so declined.

I was then talked in to having a family dinner with Chris and his family after church had finished down at Stella Blu in Dee Why.

I felt bad, as it was a pre-arranged family dinner... but am very appreciative that i was invited.

I love the Lings'. They are all so special and hospitable... they are almost like a family away from home. Feel so comfortable and welcome with them.

So yeah... went out to dinner. Got to meet a lovely girl called Emma, who i think looks like a cross between Jessica Alba and Angelina Jolie!

Had a great time... and was even blessed by not having to pay for dinner.

After dinner Peter wanted to hang and do something with me and Dan... but i declined and was taken home to bed.

Perfect Catch

2005-09-24T13:07:00.000+10:00

Had to work all day. Was cool though. Starting to get use to it... working almost every day that is.

After work went over to my sisters. Had planned to go to a dance recital that was on after church... but then got a call from Julia, one of Christies friends... she wanted to hang and go see a movie.

So after some dinner, Christie and i went over to Julias... had a couple coffees and watched an Oprah special then headed down to the movies.

We ended up seeing Perfect Catch... was a funny romantic comedy.

Afterwards dropped Julia back home... then dropped my sister back home... then went home to bed.

Nothin Exciting

2005-09-23T12:44:00.000+10:00

Today am working in Mosman. Very cool area. Very upperclass with lots of rich people and funky boutique stores.

So yeah... just the usual. Work! Started at 12. Tammarra wanted me to close the store as she wasn't feeling well... but i said i couldn't, as i had plans after work at 5pm. She ended up feeling better.

After work i cruized over to Michelles. Had dinner and went home pretty early cos i was so tired.

Tired Boy

2005-09-21T12:37:00.000+10:00

So now it's Wednesday morning... i got like 3 or 4 hours sleep... kinda hard to get sleep when you go to bed late, and everyone else wakes up between 6 and 7am including a 2 year old.

Eventually got up and had a shower and got dressed and walked in to Naths room. Everyone else was out. It was so hard trying to wake him, but eventually he woke up and i was stressin bout getting to work.

Bron and Dan came home... made us both coffee... and i was trying to get Nath out of bed so i could get back to my place in time to get to work.

I made it just in time... has been ages since i have been to bed so late... kinda paid its toll at work. Wasn't the best, but it was all good. Was looking forward to finishing and trying to wake myself up and get refreshed.

After work came home and changed then went to Dans. We went to the supermarket to grab some groceries then back to his place and he cooked dinner. While sitting in front of the TV, we were certain there was something better we could do... so we decided to go see Dukes of Hazzard.

It's such a boys movie... great entertainment. After the movie came back to Dans... had a drink and a bit of a chat, then headed home to bed.

Late night & too much Gin

2005-09-20T12:30:00.000+10:00

Monday and Tuesday was pretty much non productive and uneventful. Had yesterday and today off. Was looking forward to tonight though, cos Nath and i were meant to be hangin out.

A long story short, Nath had to work, and then teach a student after that, then round 9:30pm called and asked if i was still cool for him to come out? I said yeah, figured might as well... didn't realise he had planned for me to stay at his place... so he came and picked me up and went back to his house.

We got a bottle of Gin... i had never tried it before... though he was certain it was a nice drink... so we poured some and started watching Scary Movie 2. Time passed... more drinks... more movies... then by 4:30am decided we should go to bed, plus the fact i had to start work at 11am.

???

2005-09-18T12:22:00.000+10:00

Hmm... i don't even remember what happened this day? Guess that's what happens when you don't update every day and leave it for over a week or so and have to back track and try to remember.

Well... i do remember a bit. I worked. Then after work came home and changed, picked up my sister and then went to church.

After church was Emilie's 3rd year recital. Was cool... she's such an awesome person and did a great job. I was so tired, but thoughroughly enjoyed it. Was meant to go to Nath's after, but cancelled and re-scheduled for Monday night.

Just ended up coming home after the recital. Nath came round for a drink and chat... then bed time.

Sisters Celebration

2005-09-17T12:15:00.000+10:00

Today was the usual... worked all day.

Later after work, came home and got changed and then went to my sisters to pick her up. Tonight we were going to Hogs Breath in Colloroy to celebrate her 21st with a group of invited friends.

We arrived at the restraunt and were shown to our tables! LOL... they had a huge table set up... with another table behind cos they couldn't fit them all together. Turned out to be a really good night. Was great to catch up with some familiar faces from college, and i was so happy that Dan and Chris were able to make it and give me some male company... as it was mainly populated by Christies female friends.

After dinner, etc... a bunch of us headed back to my sisters place for drinks and just to chat. It wasn't too long till i headed home to bed.

Poker & Blackjack

2005-09-16T11:53:00.000+10:00

Ok... so i worked today... bit boring and quiet... but i knew things would get better after.

After work drove over to Michelle's. Just to catch up and hang, since she is now ever so popular with a thing called "work", lol. Hadn't seen her for ages... so it was good to hang for a bit, although i felt a bit guilty as i had to leave earlier than expected to head to Dans, as i agreed ages ago.

So yeah... helped cook Taco's at Michelle's... one of my favourite meals! Was yummy. Had dinner with Michelle, Anita, Bonnar and Beth. Was cool... but like i said... ended up leaving early around 7:50pm to head to Dans.

Got to Dans around 8pm. Headed inside for a drink and chat and just catch up in general after his trip to Hawaii. Was cool to catch up. He told me that Cam and Tom were going to be coming around soon as well... for a couple games of poker.

Dan and I went for a walk to the servo to satisfy out craving of chocolate, etc. Then had a chat with a agrivated neighbour, as some teens had ran past his place and egged his home windows... then got back home.

Cam and Tom eventually arrived. We had the poker table set up... drinks in hand... and played various poker and blackjack games. It's so fun to play... plus the social thrill of hangin with the boys... plus the fact that you don't have to worry about betting with real money and playing in the comfort of someones home. So yeah... played till around 11:30pm and wasn't planning to have a late night... as i had to be up at 7:30am the next day... so wasn't too long till i left and went home to bed.

Swan Lake

2005-09-15T11:43:00.000+10:00

Today is my sisters 21st! HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHRISTIE.

I took the morning pretty easy. I told Christie to be ready by 3:30pm as i would be arriving at her place to pick her up and take her out for her birthday.

I arrived at her place... knocked on the door... and there was no answer! I got straight on my mobile to call around and try and find out where she was. She was at a friends place sun-baking and was brought straight home after getting off the phone to me.

She had around 20mins to get ready, as i had to have spare time to find where the theatre was and didn't want to be late. So we left and made our way in to the city.

I had the worst time trying to find parking... was so bloody difficult. Drove in to two parking lots and then ended up turning around and driving out... the pricing was so expensive, till i got tricked by the third parking lot where i drove down a ramp and couldn't drive back out with out actually getting a ticket and parking. Parking was going to cost $56.

Anyways... Christie opened her card and was so suprised when she found 2 tickets to Swan Lake. We walked our way to the Theatre Royale and made our way to our seats.

The show was great. Christie was so blessed and suprised... i was glad that i spent the money and made the effort to make sure her 21st was special.

After the show we headed back to the car. Drove back to Christie's to pick up Judith and then headed in to Manly to get fish and chips and eat on the beach. Was so nice and haven't had fish and chips for SO long. It was kind of a treat for Christie and I, as that was something that we use to do once a week with our mum and dad. Get fish and chips and go to the beach.

Anyways... after that we were pretty stuffed, so went back to the car and drove back to Christie's. Watched a bit of TV and then i went home.

The Aracadi Bar

2005-09-14T11:30:00.000+10:00

Got to sleep in today, which was nice. Headed down to Warringah Mall early to meet James for lunch. I thought i started at Jay Jays at 1pm... but it ended up being 2pm. So after having lunch with James, i then went to ticket tek where i purchased two tickets for Swan Lake by the Russian Ballet Company at the Theatre Royale. Spent quite a bit of money... but figured it was for my sisters 21st, which only comes once in a life time, and wanted to really get her something special. After making the purchase quickly rushed to start work at Jay Jays.

Finished at 5:30pm and then had to rush home with like 20mins to quickly get ready to go out. Tonight i have been invited to "The Arcadi Bar" in Darlinghurst with T and about 16 other people that are in the music, tv or radio industry. I was aloud to invite someone... so i picked up Keziah and we went together.

It was so nice to be out and in the city. We got there early, so went to HJ's for a lite snack. T found us in there and then we walked over the the Arcadi Bar. There we were greated by a bouncer and then showed to our table that was massive! It was a really cool place. Great atmosphere... low lights... very retro but funky... plus a couple fireplaces that just looked HOT! So we made our way to the table and were seated. Catching up with T was great. We were mainly there to catch up and meet new people and listen to a band called the Caramel Embassy. After 8pm the table was full of all sorts of people, with live music in the background, etc. Was very cool. We were then served 4 different styles of gourmet pizza and salads. Just chilled and took in the atmosphere and chatted with various people and then ended up leaving around 11:30pm.

Work

2005-09-13T11:22:00.000+10:00

Woke up at 7:30am to start getting ready for my drive down to Mosman to start at 9:15am. Have never opened a store before... but i did quite well. Got there with time to spare and got myself in and the alarm off and the doors open at 9:30am. Was kinda cool just working by myself in a new store. Had so much stock to put away. Then the manager arived around 11:30am and i left at 12:30 with half an hour to drive from Mosman back to Brookvale to start at 1pm at Warringah Mall. Was dying for something to eat, so got a quick bite before i started.

I ended up finishing at 4pm... as it was pretty quiet. So i came back home for a bit of a rest. Then got a call from my sister asking if i could pick her up from church. Drove down to Oxford Falls and picked her up, then headed back to her place. I was so exhausted and just crashed on the couch. Christie made dinner and we watched a bit of TV before i helped her study for her music theory exam, which they ended up canceling anyway.

After Christie's i drove over to James and Linda's to have a cuppa and watch Rove Live. Rove finished late, and i made my way back home, to my bed to sleep.

Finally Getting Work

2005-09-12T15:08:00.000+10:00

Well... here i am... bout 3pm Monday afternoon. Must admit it's been a fairly relaxing day.

Woke up at 9:45am... showered... got dressed... then jumped in the car to drive down to SCA, Oxford Falls to meet Nath for lunch break. http://www.schoolofcreativearts.org.au/ Nothin to fancy... met up with some other old college friends and just socialized for bout half an hour... then headed back home.

Started some design work for James Murray. Trying to get something together for "Summer Fiesta 06". Pretty hard challenge actually. For any of you who might be interested... you should check out the youth website http://www.pulserocks.org/ It will fill you in on some of the things that happen with that aged youth ministry and tell you a bit about James Murray.

Other than that, i am about to head over to my sisters to take her grocery shopping and then just hang out and have dinner, etc.

The rest of the week sees me working every day... starting tomorrow at Mosman, opening Just Jeans there at 9am, finish at 12:30, and then start at Warringah Mall at 1pm and finish at 5pm... is gonna be a crazy day... but should be cool. So yeah, i'm kinda getting work all over the place. Working at Just Jeans Warringah Mall, St Ives and Mosman and Jay Jays Warringah Mall. Thank God for work and money.

Anyways... i better get off here and go pick up my sis...

Ciao for now!

2005-09-11T14:36:00.000+10:00

Well... lately the weather here in Sydney has been pretty awesome. The sun shine is so beautiful and warm, with a nice cool breeze.

Today is a change of scenery as i am working 12-4pm at Just Jeans in Manly. Manly in a very popular place on the Northern Beaches of Sydney. Work is reasonably quiet... and i can't wait to finish so i can catch up and hang with my best mate Nathan.

http://www.manlytourism.com/

Finally 4pm comes and i take a nice walk back to my car and arrange with Nathan for him to arrive at my place at 5:30pm.

He shows up at 5:30pm and we chat. Started off not in the best of moods. Plus i knew he was tired and possibly still hungover from the night before. We discuss what we were to do. I knew he wanted to see Sin City or Unleashed, but they both started at 9pm, and he didn't want a late night, as he had college in the morning. Over a lot of procrastinating we jump in the car and head down to Dee Why to one of our favorite restraunts "On Shore". Nath ordered our favorite meal there... Mediteranian BBQ Baby Octopus, beer and desert... i ordered desert and a coke, my stomach not feeling the best. It was pretty cool down there... just hanging out and taking in the scenery. At about 8:30pm we head back to my place. Watched a bit of TV. Then ended up watching my EP launch, and before we knew it, it was like 11:30pm and Nath ended up having a late night after all.

It's hard to explain or describe... but getting to catch up with Nath meant a lot, and i feel better for it.

Busy Little Day

2005-09-10T13:50:00.000+10:00

Saturday morning... wake up... jump in the shower... put on some clothes, and head to work at Just Jeans. Not a long shift... 11am - 3pm. Was pretty quiet and somewhat boring, but yeah... good times.

After work met up with Michelle to do some grocery shopping... after that i had an hour to kill before giving my sister a lift home. So I met up with James and Linda and wandered around the mall for a bit. Helped Linda out with deciding what to buy and what not to buy... she really appreciated my fasion guru advice... haha! Anywho... they left around 5pm, so then i went up to Best and Less to wait for Christie. Then dropped her off at her place. Then headed over to Michelle's for some dinner. And then drove over to Chris Lings at 6:30pm to meet up.

Chris and I didn't really have an idea of what we wanted to do... but figured we would make the most of it. So around 7:30pm him and I headed in to the city, parked, then we were on foot. We started off just walking the streets of the city... it had been a while since we had been in the city... came across some pretty cool sights. We then had a coffee at Starbucks to give us a boost and then a dine-in dinner at Pizza Hut... random i know, but kinda cool. So we were thinking of walking down to Circular Quae and check out what was on at the Dendy Cinema, which is an independant film cinema... but then decided to jump back in the car and drive out to Epping to check out the Epping Hotel. It's a pretty cool set-up, and i didn't realise they had a dress code. I was asked to take off my wicked sick beanie cross hat, and as we entered i headed straight for the bathroom to see if i could do something with my hat hair. Wasn't too successful... so stayed for a beer and then walked over to Woolworths to buy some hair product so i could look half decent and re-enter. Chris and I just chilled, chattered and had a few casual beers. Tried Bees Nees for the first time, not a big fan. But we were meant to be meeting friends of his, Tim and Rachelle. They are pretty cool. Have only met them once, but really like them... but they didn't end up coming. So eventually we headed back to the car to make our way home before it was too late in to the morning.

http://www.eppinghotel.com.au

Arrived back at Chris' place and then got in my car, drove home and went to bed.

SHIT!

2005-09-09T12:31:00.000+10:00

Oh my God... i am so depressed and hate myself. Jake just brought in a letter... came all the way from the "Office of the Sheriff". I thought it was all cool and i got out of it, but just got told that if i don't have a good enough excuse for missing dury duty, then i have to pay a fine of $1100!!! SHIT SHIT SHIT!

Beautiful Day

2005-09-09T11:26:00.000+10:00

Well... here i am. It's Friday morning... only just... and it looks like such a nice day outside. The only thing is that i feel like i'm inside my room procrastinating and feeling low and wasting the day.

Well Wednesday was a good day. Woke up at 8am and went to work at Warringah Mall to start at 9am at Jacquie E. The store was closed, but there was 5 of us working hard and fast to pack up the store. Moving clothes from shelves and hanging spaces to running rails and walking them all over to the other side of the mall in to storage... was actually hard work... then i had to finish there at 2pm and head up to Jay Jays to finish at 5:30pm. Gosh, i don't like working at Jay Jays. But anyways... was good to have a full days work. Came home absolutley tired and hungry. Had some dinner and rested while watching TV, then got a call from James asking if i wanted to come over at like 9pm. So i poped over and had a cup of tea and watched some tv, etc... then came home around 10:45pm and went to bed.

Thursday i stuffed around a lot. Was going to go down to the doctor to get my blood test results. But instead stayed home and did some washing. Then picked up my sister from her vocal lesson at 3pm and headed out to Hornsby for a job interview. The interview went really well... and i admit that a change of scenery would be lovely... the only thing i think that might let me down, is that i admitted that i have already got a ticket booked at Christmas to fly back to WA. So i will find out end of next week how that goes. Then Christie and I wandered around the Hornsby shopping centre. Then headed back and dropped my sister home around 6pm... then headed over to Barclays. Barclay was appreciative to see me. He desperately wanted to see Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, so around 8pm headed up to Chatswood to meet Chris and Aaron to see Charlie and the Chocolate Factory at 8:45pm. I love that movie... it's so cool... takes me out of reality and into a surreal fantasy world for a couple hours. Then drove back to Barclays and had a drink and then back home to find Jake still up around midnight... so chatted for a bit, and then went to bed.

And now we are back to today... Friday. I just put some washing in the dryer and another load on. Figure I might jump in to the shower and find some clothes to wear and then take a drive to the doctor to find out my blood test results... will be interesting, considering i don't ever remember ever having one.

So yeah! Totally exciting... like totally freak me out, i mean right on. So for now i shall leave it here. Shorly my day will get better and hopefully have an exciting night doing one of 3 options.

Peace out.

Not Happy

2005-09-06T09:29:00.000+10:00

Well... what can i say? I recieved a phone call from a mate early this morning, which was nice, but woke me up... so now here i am.

I guess 9am isn't a bad time to get up... but when you don't get to sleep till after midnight, and you're as sick as a dog... rest is generally a good thing.

So i'm a little scared today. Yesterday i went down to the chemist to by some drugs for this unbareable head cold thing... which the pharmasist said is more than a head cold... and that there is nothing that he can really give me, and that i need to get down to a doctor to get antibiotics! I don't remember the last time i went to a doctor? Haven't been since i was like a little kid.

So yeah... don't really have any plans today. Was wanting to get out and apply for more jobs, but my throat and ears are in so much pain and discomfort that all i want to do is go to a doctor, get drugged up, and not wake up till i'm better. Although later tonight i am going to go see the new "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" which i'm pretty excited about.

I miss my best mate... just thought i'd throw that in there. And i'm working at Jaqcie E tomorrow. Random, but they have to pack down the store... so i'm glad i got some hours.

Anyways... i'm in a crap mood, so shall log off and watch a bit of TV, then hit the shower and head down to the doctor.

Ciao.

Meh

2005-09-05T10:36:00.000+10:00

Well here i am. Feel like i have just woken up to a week full of NOTHING!

It's Monday... first day of the week. The weather outside is miserable, and i think somewhere out there you could probably find my motivation, cos it definately isn't here in my room with me.

It's time to start getting productive... start doing some cleaning and finishing up assesments, applying for full-time work and doing my artist biography. But where to start?

Yesterday was a pretty good day. Went to work at Just Jeans, visited Michelle after work for like half an hour, then came home for a bit... then went to my sisters to pick her up for church, then to Dave Waroka's to give him a lift to church. Church was good, but for some reason i was so tired. After the main service i wandered up to CCTV and had some dinner with Michelle in the directors suite. Then rushed down to meet up with my sister again for Cafe Connect. They had a guest commedian/musician/singer performing. Thought it would be good to check it out... unfortunately i wasn't that entertained.

But after Cafe Connect, went out to dinner with my sister and Chris and Belinda Ling. Had a great time, and was very nice. Got home a bit after midnight and was absolutely exhausted.

But here i am now, Monday morning. I have never found it so hard to find motivation. But i feel like i need to stop complaining and procrastinating and just get off my ass and do something... other wise nothing happens does it.

By the way... if you are somehow reading this and don't have a copy of my EP... i stongly urge you to purchase a copy... LOL! Just check out the link, and if you have any questions, just ask me :)

Anyways... ta ta for now... wish me luck... and see you here next time soon.

Good Times!

2005-09-03T10:25:00.000+10:00

Well, it's been like forever since i have written anything on this blog. Figured i have time, since i don't start work till later this arvo... so thought i better add something and update a bit.

Well for those of you that don't know... i have finally completed two years of study, majoring in songwriting and music at School of Creative Arts, Oxford Falls, Sydney. Although i'm still yet to hand in a couple late assesments, which will see me graduate at the end of the year with everyone else.

Since finishing at college, i became quite busy with working temporary full-time at Just Jeans (i still don't know why i didn't take the position permanately?), as well as freelance graphic design work for a local band called "Emmaus"... the generations youth department at CCC... and a job for Web Performance Group. Those few weeks were great... and i thouroughly enjoyed keeping busy... generally starting around 10am, finishing work and then going out and doing something social till around 11pm, and then doing it all over again.

At this point in time i am back to being casual at Just Jeans. I have been told about a part-time job offer at Colorado in Chatswood, which i plan to apply for and hopefully get, then giving me 3-4 full days at Colorado and weekends at Just Jeans... just to tie me over till Christmas when i head back to Perth for Christmas, and then when i get back the possibility of taking full time work at Just Jeans... or the possibility of working at Chanel 9.

Since finishing college, i have to admit that i'm actually finding it hard to find my motivation. I have a messy room that needs cleaning, clothes that need washing, and just bought myself a car which also needs cleaning.

It's hard to explain the head space that i have been in lately... but it hasn't been intirely possitive. But the will is there to change my outlook and attitude. Once work is settled, then i want to start being commited to Change, which is a service for 18-25's at Oxford Falls... fell the need to become part of and connect with a local community of people my age. As well as taking invitations to dance and sing in certain productions or conferances, etc. Need to start getting back in to reading my bible and spending time with God... join a connect group! Gotta admit, it's hard being out on your own without a family to push you to do things that i should... but alas... all is good, and i know my life is in Gods hands and He only wants the best for me.

So yeah... good times...

There has been a lot of minimal things that have been happening, too many on a day to day basis to back track and try and fill you in... although there is the EP that you might be wondering about. Well i am yet to put together an artist biography and press kit and send it out to record companies, publishers, managers, etc... but will be getting on to it asap.

Anyways... i might leave it here for now... hope you enjoyed the read.

God bless and shall catch up soon.

Quit Your Life

2005-01-24T11:45:00.000+11:00

Favourite song at the moment! Thanks to Shaz for introducing me to this awesome song.

Quit Your Life - MXPX

I’ve been everywhere around the world and finally here tonight
You seem to be the only one to make me feel alright

I feel good when I know you’re coming down
I feel good when I know you’ll be around

[Chorus:]
So quit your life and stay with me
We’ll order in and watch TV
We’ll paint the house and wash the car
We’ll take a walk but not too far
So quit your life and stay with me

New York to Los Angeles and all it takes in between
After miles and hours on the road, you’re the best I’ve seen

I feel good, you’re the best friend that I’ve found
I feel good when I’m coming back to your town

[Chorus]

Stay with me [4x]

I heard the road, it was calling my name
I walked towards the light and I ran towards the flame
I ran towards the flame

After all is said and done, I don’t mind saying again
I say it’s true that I’m in love with the places that I’ve been

I feel good when I know you’re coming down
I feel good when I know you’ll be around

[Chorus]

So quit your life and stay with me
Stay with me [3x]

Naughty Boy

I admit... I'm guilty... it's been a few days since my last post. Will I ever be forgiven?

Well to update you of what eventful things have happened in my life...

Thursday I went to work at Just Jeans (6pm -9pm). It was arranged that Nathan would pick me up after work and we would hang or do something. He was running a bit late due to Cameron not being able to make up his mind about what guitar he wanted to buy... but eventually Nath showed up. We came back to mine and were at a loss with what activities we would do to occupie our time. We ended up just hangin at mine for a bit and then ended up driving out to Castle Hill, where we ended up parking at a showground and just chilled there. Before we knew it, it was almost 2am. So we drove back to his house, and decided to watch I-Robot. After that, we thought we should try and get some sleep... but that didn't happen... and before we knew it the sun was up, the birds were singing and people started to arise.

So then it was Friday... we didn't do much, as we were both pretty tired. Nath ended up dropping me home round 11:30am. I entered my room and then it hit me that it was still pretty early in the day and had nothing to do! I was annoyed and frustrated. At about 1pm I layed down to try and get an arvo nap, but couldn't sleep... so I entered Jakes room to watch some TV... but not even the TV could entertain me. Anyways... i think it was about 9pm that I finally got in to bed... i didn't wake up till 1pm the next day.

Saturday I woke up at 1pm and recieved a phone call from a great friend Shaz! She asked if I wanted to go out and hang... so 2pm she came round to pick me up and we went to Chatswood. Had lunch and a drink and did a bit of window shopping. Then came home round 5:30pm. I wasn't really tired and wanted to do something... ended up talking to Keziah and she came round. We watched 'School of Rock' which we both rather enjoyed. Then we just chilled and chattered till bout 11:30pm when I got a message from Nathan. Keziah ended up leaving and I called Nath. He was bored and pretty revved up after having some friends over for a BBQ and then cousins visiting. Bit after midnight I went to bed.

Sunday... woke up round 10:30am I think? Did a bit of reading and then got started on a design I'm working on for Pulse Leaders Guide 2005. It's now 4:15pm. I was looking forward to having the company of my best mate at church tonight with me... but have been let down... figure I'll just find a nice spot up the back for myself.

Don't know why, but at the moment I'm kinda feeling a bit angry... just thought I'd share that with you... won't bother to try and delve in to the reasons why... think it's time to shower and get ready for church.

My 1st one

Well here it goes... I thought the whole blogging thing might be a good idea for me... since I have quite a bit of free time on my hands at the moment... and could possibly turn out to be good therapy at a free price.

Today is Thursday and I woke up pretty late. Couldn't get to sleep last night for some reason?

Today it's just me and Jacquie home. Although Jacquie has a friend of hers comming round for lunch a bit later. The guests name is Shelly and one of the most well known vocal coaches in Sydney. It's all a little random as i've spoken to her on the phone a couple times, and although have never met, she always says it's good to hear my voice and that she's been praying for me... so it should be an interesting afternoon.

Then i got to look at the bus timetable to catch a bus to work. Don't start till 6pm, which feels so slack, and then Nathan (my best mate) will be picking me up and we shall party all night long... WOOHOO! Or not... who knows?

Anyways... might shoot off for now... check this whole blog thing out a little more. Hope you enjoy.
