all that glitters is Gold Coast....

So, I'm off to the Gold Coast today, for a week.



RIGHT ON!!!!!



See you suckas when I get back. Bye Melbourne!

lean on me brother....

I'm going to make an early new years resolution.

I'm going to make more of an effort with my family.

Especially my younger brother. I've realised tonight how much I need him.

i'm on a boat...

Grain Waves are oh so tasty.


Anyways, I've been doing a lot of think about next year. I know it's a bit early for that, and there's still so much to do this year to be considering next year. But hey, I'm a daydreamer.

One thing, well actually, two things are dominating my thoughts. Not so much things, but choices. Two very clear paths, and one choice to make.

....I feel wierd blogging. These are my thoughts, some pretty personal, and at times I feel like I shouldn't broadcast them. Sometimes I don't want to share what's in my head, but today I'm in a sharing mood.

So yes, choices. There are two distinct paths I know I want to take.

Study, and Travel.

Which one?

I've been keen on travel for yonks. I went to America almost two years ago and I'm hankering to travel since. But I'd like to travel and work. So I've decided it would be fantastic to use the experience from my current job (motel) and work on a cruiseliner. I get to see the world and get paid. No paying for board or food, and I don't need a car so no fuel. But I could imagine it would be hard work. But eh, I've worked hard for the past year, I'm used to it. Heck, I did graveyard shifts. So yes..VERY keen to give it a shot. And when I come back, whatever I choose to do next, I have some decent money in the bank to acheive it.

However, I'm also very keen to start study, as I'm pretty certain in what I want out of a career. I've already studied Disability Work. I want to continue but venture into Education. I love children and decided that I would enjoy teaching Kindergarten. Yes, a big burly man like me teaching kindie! Wierd, huh? But yeah, it would be just awesome. Kids just ooze the joy of the Lord. But if I study I think I wouldn't get a chance to travel for a long time.

But then, if I went away, I'll miss out on certain things. I'm keen on a lady, I'm not saying who, so if I leave for at least 6 months, I'm afraid she might get snapped up while I am away.

Ugh, you can see that I have a few things tugging at my head.

I'm just trying my best to be a man and a follower of God, and I know that I will take the right steps if I seek Him and His will. Easier said than done.

But all in all, I'm excited about next year, I really am. This year was great, but it was also a very painful, hard year to trod through. Next year things are going to really open up, I can feel God's waiting to throw open some curtains to reveal things that never occured to me.

We'll see.

running late, taking the long way round

It's too hot.

I got abused by a taxi driver today. Out of all people to make judgement calls on my motoring skills, a taxi driver....THEY CAN'T DRIVE!!!!!

The pleb was just upset cos I cut in front of him....at 100 kph....

Even his fare came to give me stick.

Well, Mr. Taxi wanker, if you guys did your job properly, then MAYBE I would listen. But for now, just get back into your car and shut your mouth.

There was a reason why I was driving like a maniac today. But by maniac I really mean driving skills to pay the bills. I had to take my dear friend, Mike Haydon to the airport this morning. And we were already running late.

To make matters worse, when we were on citylink, we missed the turnoff for the airport. So we ended up going OVER the West Gate Bridge. Frik!!

But I didn't fear. I had my trusty car (my lovely Subaru Forester, who is named Millennium Falcon) to pull me through. I regrouped, got off the freeway at Williamstown road, up into Footscray, down Geelong road, past Flemington racecourse and managed to get back on Citylink at Mt Alexander road. I by-passed the Bolte Bridge, which meant all that was left was a straight run up Tullamarine freeway. And boy did I gun it up that freeway..must have been doing 120 at one point. No way was Mike going to miss that flight.

So we got there, and I cut the taxi off at the front of the airport. He stopped behind me at the departure terminal dropoff. So not only did he berate me for my daring efforts, he was wasting valuable seconds of Mike's time.

Those who know me well know I'm a pretty placid driver. Today, I even surprised myself. This really has cemented how awesome this new car is, and that we make a great team. Me and the ol' girl have a tale to tell now.

And in the end, Mike made his flight. Right on.

suck on those potatoes

OK, if you're here, then you must be very bored.

I'm going to try blogging.....at a time when nobody blogs anymore except that gay fellow that's famous for no reason....good to know I share this cyber-stage with such riveting personalities.....


I'm going to post anything and everything I feel like. So that means that you can expect the very silly to the very serious. I'm not too fussed if 1 or 1000 people read this, I'll try my best to keep at it.

I don't really have anything to say (we're off to a flying start) and it is 3:30 in the morning...so I should get some shut eye.

I'll come back when I feel I have something that's somewhat entertaining to people other than myself.....so this is my last post :P

Many blessings,

Adios,

Andy
