Many words have been used to describe me over the years, some good most bad. Here you will just find my words and mostly I'm pretty nice.

Cirque Du Soleil

Monday, June 8th, 2009

Wanting to do something different for my mum on mother’s day, my sister, brother and I put in to get her a ticket to see Cirque Du Soleil. It was also a great opportunity for me to go, so last friday off we went to see the show.

We got stuck in traffic and ended up finding something to eat at the Cirque Store. Now if they aren’t making a killing for their tickets the food costs sure help. I walked out with a hotdog, popcorn and a beer for $20, and tust me it wasn’t a $20 feed but desperate times call for desperate measures.

Camera’s were banned for obvious reasons but I did snap a couple more shots before the show started.

As for the show well, it was fantastic. The strength and skill they have is just amazing. From bouncing off trampolines and running up walls, outstanding acrobatics and some entertaining jump rope skills the 2 hour show was a blast. i can only recommend anybody that hasn’t seen it to get along and check it out as I believe it is finishing up shortly.

Blogging, is it for me?

Sunday, May 17th, 2009

I have found it really hard to stay motivated to blogging. With facebook and twitter being so easy to update and interact with my friends I never seem to make it to my blog. I think part of the problem is I can’t find a theme I like and just don’t have the time or skill to make my own from scratch. I do have some great articles to add up which I should do if anything just to make them easier to go back to when I need them (my bookmarks are out of control).

In other news I’m in the process of deciding what I am going to do with myself next year. I am really looking to live/travel overseas for awhile as I’m still young enough to get away with backpacking. Money is a problem with a loan on my beloved ute but I know it can be sorted out. My work life is well boring, the challenges are gone and feel I am grossly underpaid but as they gave me my start I don’t want to bail on them while the business is struggling.

So all this leaves me looking at a part time weekend job to increase the cash flow while I wait out the rest of the year. May also look at a basic bar course and a personal trainer course as other forms of work for the short term and also would come in handy while traveling around.

Life is what we make it and I am determined to enjoy mine after spending so many years lost.

Completely addicted to World of Goo thanks to the Macheist 3 bundle. Having only recently got my hands on my first mac I have to say that was a great bargin to pickup and get me some awesome software. Looking forward to see what the other apps can do to improve my day to day activities.

Gym

Wednesday, April 1st, 2009

Recently changed gyms and the place is driving me crazy. Sure its nice and big lots of equipment etc but for the love of god can you label the weights on the equipment already. I don’t know if I’m lifting in kilograms or pounds and have resorted to saying I lifted this many plates this week argg!!!!
