GOOD TIMES

START OF WINTER YEWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

After the 4hour drive south i moved into my new house for winter !!! hyped to see what the quiet town has instore for me. The new house is dope soooooooo big, two lounges, huge kitchen and awsome fire places that put out sooooooooo much heat, lucky enough to even have one in my room!






The housemates are RAD John the cheff cooks up awsome food every AM and PM and in the time we have been waiting on the snow has taught me the way of COD on Xbox i never thought i could get so addicted! and Cam , Cam is one of the radd'st people i have ever lived with just such a positive upbeat guy !!! yeah.
Its been a super slow start to the season with a huge lack of snow!!!!





With the huge pile of Xbox games and DVD's  we should be able to hold out till it arrives....

i hope

Home for now gone tomorrow

Finaly back home in NZ well at home for 4 days before moving down to the mountains. The upside to these shorts visits home are that i guess i put 110 into catching up with friends and family and if im lucky i keep my head down at home and don't kick off any family drama, acourding to mum my record for keeping the peace i set on my last trip home which was just over a week, this time i managed to last a whole 6 hours before muttering somthing! the other downside to comming home it wouldnt be a trip home without a trip to the doctors or hospital , home semes to be my kryptonite from sizures, to sinking trucks, rolling trucks, to having a heart monitor fitted not so fun when your awake for the whole op.


Nothing beats catching up with solid old friends, no matter what kind of mood or doubt you in everything semes to go out the window when your out with them.  I sit looking at my CC'n dry wondering how it is that i manage to leave here every couple of days or sometimes weeks chasing winters, work, adventure, i find my self at 1am on the couch watching into the wild and thinking to myself what it would be like sell and give away everything and disapear for a while live like the great Chritopher Mcadnless aka Alexander supertramp the guy gave away everything and traveld north from cali to alaska working from time to time just to surport his trip and get to where he wanted to go, he took only what he needed nothing more and nothing less, it was he who came up with the quote" true happiness can only ever be found when shared with others"
 A family friend gave me a book when i was 14 that i still carry with me called 1,000 places to see before you die, by far one of the best gifts i have ever gotten! im working my way threw it im past 230 so far but still heaps more to go +adding some of my own to make it 1000 no offence to the author but we do have very different intrests for what we want to see and experience when traveling.

AIRPORT TIME

So yet again i find myself on the floor in a airport waiting for my flight home only a mellow 13hour wait no biggy , i have found nice spot by a power source STOKED!! time to write up a brief update, the airport floor reminds me off sitting in the back of a chinook heli on take off not nice at all but it'l do. 






My time in Torquay has come to a end and its time to head back home for winter... Torquay was a blast the people were epic, the nights out were hazey feuld with CC'n drys, such good times with such great people, sad to be leaving but im sure i'll make it back here one day.

In my final few days i shot photos at a night ramp session at the Blunt ramp with some of the radest people i have ever met !!

SOOO MUCH FUN ended up getting photo props from Steadham skate industries for a few of the pics  happy days!


some  of the most amusing groms i have ever met come into DC everysingle day to skate the mini without fail! funny f*ckers!





JAKE IF YOU READ THIS............."YOUR MUMS HOT" HAHA

Torquay house party scene is rad !!! such a rad  costume enthused area prity much everyparty is themed and that has lead to some epic nights out.









I learnt a few new skills whilst living in Torquay such as, i found out i can not only carry 3 noodle box's up a hill drunk but i can also eat out of all 3 with chopsticks drunk stumbling up the hill to get home without getting any on my shirt !!! mad skills haha !


ANDY YOU ARE BY FAR ONE OF THE BEST BOSS'S I HAVE EVER HAD ! KEEP IT REAL BUDDY!


Torquay is also home to one freak of a pizza that me and CALPAL found ourselves consuming once a fornight prity much every pay week chances are me and calpal would got get one of these outragous pizza's





im sad to be leaving one place, but excited to check out the next. I love the feeling of being on the move meeting new people seeing new places, learning new things about the world, the best quote i  remember from school is "get busy living or get busy dying" im deffiently living haha  the spare of the moment ideas and drunken nights round a table talking of future plans with new and old friends discussing where our paths may cross again down the line is always a fun yarn which i love to take part in followed by plotting out crazy routes through places you  cant even pronounce, im stoked for whatever the future holds!


REPEAT AFTER ME "I'AM FREE"
