So this summer is totally shaping up. i've had a pretty busy few days, been working and drinking and hanging out with people. Good times.
Roadtripped it to candyland on tuesday, was a fun day, despite hamilton lol, and then twenty minutes after arriving home i got told to get my snow gear on for snowplanet so i was shattered for wednesday.
Didn't stop me from rockin' a purple cardi and leather jacket in Browns Bay though.
Looked pretty sharp.
So the plans for next february with the Banstead Junior Crew are shaping up nicely, and theres also hopes and dreams of a weekend trip down to turangi aswell with a couple of people in january so gonna make good use of that this summer.
The weather is on a bit of a down at the moment so im enjoying a blanket. Haven't had much opportunity int he past few days.
Time for lunch, om nom nom

Losing My Virginity
The title is a bit of a lie.
I am referring to Big Day Out Virginity
I bought my ticket today, so for the first time ever Cliff is attending Big Day Out.
Who am i going for?
Deftones, Tool, Naked &Famous, Kids of 88, and probably Rammstein now that i'm going.
So yeah im rather excited, because it means i have plans for a whole day. wow. amazing.
But seriously, shoudl be good, got some mates going, and at least my wallet will be light for a bit, less to carry right?
I also ordered my ticket for Disturbed w/ Trivium and As I Lay Dying which promises to be a kick-ass show. and im glad they moved the start time so that it starts at 6, allowing MORE HOURS OF METAL.
Pretty stoked. I saw Disturbed back in '08, and it was a great show. Saw Trivium earlier this year in '10 and they kick ass live, was awesome. Never seen As I Lay Dying so at least theres something new. All things considered, i am thoroughly looking forward to my concert year next year, and if i can gets funds together, this year might not be over, with No Sleep Til...Auckland still a possibility.
So My summer is shaping up. We cleaned the kayaks, cleared the garden(mostly) put the hammock up, arranged for buddies to come over from ENGLAND so that will be awesome to see them again.
Enjoy your summer guys, Peace

Crazy, Wild, Educational?
Ok so I don't really think many of you read this but for those select few, I have a request.
I am hoping to start up another youtube channel, dedicated to the goings on of university life and that.
The plan is that it will be a collab channel, and i will have a few awesome students with me on this channel, posting a video every so often about shit thats going down at their tertiary institution.
So if you are going to attend, or are attending, a place of education then let me know, because im pretty much just going to go with whoever is keen, as long as there aren't too many of you( fat chance...)
So ideally we'll just have one person for each place, so we won't cover the whole of New Zealand but whatever. I'm at Auckland University, so I will have that covered, Tim has expressed interest and is going to Vic(?) so if you are no the aforementioned, or attending those two, then maybe comment me, fb me, youtube, twitter,formspring etc etc etc etc.
The point is to give another point of reference to the next generation of tertiary students, see what life is like on a regular basis, keep up to date, get to know the pace, and also to compare, see where they might wanna go.
SO if you're interested, let me know because i really would like to get this thing up and running for the start of semester One of 2011 which starts end of Feb, and that is to coincide with what will hopefully be O-Week stories!
So hit me up, lets talk Collab!!

Babies and Bitch Drinks
OK so I told myself I would make a video about this when it came about but I have only just posted one so my bandwidth doesn't allow. However this blog will be linked to in my next video so if thats how you come to see this, then awesome.
Firstly, and far more importantly than absolutely anything else I have to say right now, i would like to congratulate my best mate Herbert Fowles and his fiancee Pao on their new baby!
She done gave birth!
Im so happy for the pair of them and i have no doubt that this kid will grow up to take advantage of me for the fact that I would do so much for his dad:p
But in all seriousness, congratulations and good luck to them both. They will no doubt be welcoming gifts so sleeping pills and paper towels might be a good start.
i'm so funny...
In other news, I have come to the conclusion that for every purpose apart from my sexual orientation, you may aswell think im gay.
For some reason the drinks I like best are all pink cocktails. and i just act gay far too often to be normal. If you go shopping with me, I will pick out lots for you to try. Sometimes so much that you have more to try on from me than they will let you into the changing room with, and you haven't even picked yet.
So girls in particular, message me your sizes(of any clothing, im not fussed. Lingerie included, bendon has nice changing rooms) and lets go shopping!
I ran out of vanilla vodka. So looks like somebody needs to have a nice party to justify buying some more! However i put up my hammock yesterday so once the sun comes out again I am going to start enjoying cocktails in the garden. Come Join! text me and we'll sort something out.
Studying for my last exam right now, and after monday the 15th I am holiday so...see above regarding parties :)
Thats all for now, i should be studying, and ive already spent too much time finding ways to waste more time.
Tunes for today, I'm listening to 95bfm during my study, its good chilled study music right now, so im lapping it up.
Cheers for now, remember to go on youtube and leave a comment, subscribe and spread the word!

Thoughts?
So I just sat my first exam for this semester, and it went ok! (pause for cheers)
And as i move on, and try to forget Macroeconomics for awhile, my mind wandered. I have observed three things today that I feel represent significant problems with society.
Firstly
If it's quarter past 9 in the morning and i'm struggling to deal with your BO in a room air conditioned to a degree exceeding that of the interior of a space station, then Houston, we have a problem.(See what i did there?) It just isn't on. Im trying to concentrate on my exam but i'm also downwind of you and it ain't cool.
Shower, roll on deodorant, and breathable fabric are all magnificent products, and i'm surprised your aggregate demand for such goods hasn't shifted as these technological advances become available.(See, I studied. Kinda.)
Secondly
Christmas. I'm all for it sure. Im also sick of those people harping on about it being commercialised. We know. We agree. we're still going to rack up a debt though. What i take an issue to is the fact that it is the 29th of October. And there is a large, nay gargantuan, Bedazzled Tree in front of the mall. And from memory it was there well into January last year. Christmas occurs once a year, and the only good bits are Xmas morning and Dinner time, so less than half, because the middle bit is a bit lame, dry, stretched tv christmas specials, and no you can't go out. For simplicity's sake, lets say half a day is worth celebrating. 1/730th of the year is worth celebrating. and yet there is a gargantuan Bedazzled tree for 1/4 of it.
I hope that one day soon I am wiping my ass with paper made form prematurely displayed Christmas Trees.
Finally
I'm not going to go into any great detail but following my exam, I went window shopping. In JB HiFi, i was perusing their wares, as I quite often do and an item on display inspired me to speak out, share my knowledge. My discovery and conclusion is thus.
If it has the word 'Erotic' in the title, it shouldn't have a PG rating.
Nuff' Said.
Thats all from me for now, i should really study for whats left of my exams.

Managing Time
I am currently in the middle of study leave.
Studying for my final exams, and I started a blog.
Maybe not such a good move but I will try to restrain myself and post sporadically.
Quick update, I am studying for a Bachelor of Commerce at Auckland University, Auckland, NZ
This is my second semester, and i'm loving it so far.
Today is the day i have set aside for studying Management. I have been doing fairly well in the course so far, but these exams are still all about raising my GPA as much as I can.
I've been giving myself regular *cougheverytwentyminutescough* breaks and in those breaks I have begun to plan my summer!
Going to try get lots of Kayaking in, gonna try get myself a handheld GPS unit and start Geocaching, which looks like a good way to spend summer days. Also planning to travel down to Turangi for a weekend. Maybe do some fishing again. Definitely vlog and blog about it all, so watch this space!
I should study, but in the meantime, i'm going to post a link to my YouTube for those of you that haven't seen, and hope that you enjoy and maybe even subscribe!
Have a great day guys, if you're in NZ, enjoy the sun!
