Well don't get me wrong ok i love nz for about may threw till november and then when winters over its back to square one, weather i'm selling clothes and boards for a shop or i'm hanging off the back of a roading truck doing traffic control at the end of the day all the money goes into MAKING IT BACK OUT OF NZ even if its just for a 2week long shred trip to the northern hemi where the snow is deep and endless, drinks , food, late nights and partying with old friends on the regular its just anouther awsome winter going down and im stuck here working away just try and save enough to get just a taste and to make it easier lasting to may without seeing snow.
Ive been keeping myself amused with working my way threw the two seasons of How to make it in america which in some ways is easy for me to relate to with the whole clothing biz but man its just sucha a good show realy gets me movtervated to make sure i get it right and if your going to do somthing to do it properly or not to bother at all.
My new clothing project SWAY has been comming along great ive got my new soft shell fabrics and a full merino line underway now i just need to finish it all get the catalogs and order forms out to the stores, colect the orders and run them threw the factory! sounds easy huh! well its certintaly been a learning curve one thats paid off for the best so far. I have my Father and our Friend Ivan to thank for all the knowlage that they have passd on aswell as guidence when the hard choices come in.
Sooo as i sit in the back of the work truck typing this all up i think to myself is it all realy worth it, the chasing snow the passing on job roles that would see me right in the long run but id have to give up what i love for a good 5 years hmmmm I WOULD DROP EVERYTHING FOR THIS LIFE I HAVE, and if it means i have to surport this lifestyle by doing jobs that dont make sense to most, well i hope they realise i can leave them in may each year and come back to one of the radest places on earth and the place to be when its our winter. + if i do a good job and work hard i'm sure theyll have me back or like most things in life i can just keep living and moving forward and find my own path to whatever it is im building towards.
I need $4500 for my 3 week trip so far on the list of jobs that are helping me get there i have workd traffic control for the rugby world cup, moved a wharehouse, driven a hazmat truck to dump waste, im working 38hour weeks in at QUIK, Barbacking 4 nights a week for minimum, cleaning windows round the house, mowing lawns, If you want somthing and your willing to put in the hard work im willing to say 99% of the time it works out and if it doesn't then atleast you have plenty of drinking money saved up!
