Feeling Green

I had intended to write this post on St Patrick's day. I had even signed into blogger to do so. However my mate Midi came round and well there was some drinking to be done apparently. what turned out to be lots, and lots of drinking.
Anyway the passed 2 years now this day has made me feel nostalgic as back in 2009 I celebrated a rather awesome St Patrick's day with my good friend David Panaho.



See, that was us, 2 years ago. Although technically it was the day after, that Wednesday night we celebrated like there was no tomorrow. I was on the phone to him as we had not spoken in some time. This was at around 10.00pm when he asked if I had work the next day. "No" I responded. Leading him to the next question of; "do you want to go out tonight?" my answer to this would be; "Yes. Yes I do"
Half an hour later his brother came and picked me up and into town we went. Stopping first at the bank to get out some much needed cash I can recall Panaho saying; "I just want a nice quiet evening where we get, absolutely shitfaced!"
Upon entering the Victoria Hotel we made our way straight to the bar. Our first drink of the night . . . Tequila! In no way Irish, but its damn good stuff. From then on in, it was a damn good night!

Re-born

From the moment I complete this post my blog has officially been "re-born". It has been well over 2 years since my last post and to say a lot has changed in that time would be an understatement. A lot can happen in a week, a day, 5 minutes. So you can imagine that a hell of a lot can happen in 2 years. Not only though am I giving this old blog life again by posting to it I have also re-designed it, made it look a little crisper I think and tidied up a few things. If your going to be re-born do it with some style and ad some changes I think.

Since my last post on what was as I recall a rather "good Saturday" I have had many good Saturdays. Heck I've had many good weekends. Even weekdays. My last post saw me coming to the close of 2008, which by all rights as I recall was a fairly good year. However 2009 was just around the corner and it proved to be a damn good year. If you ignore the minor detail of all the stresses that come with moving to a new town and selling a house, then 2009 was an awesome year. It was for me, a party year. Or so the first 6 months was anyway. But Im not going to get into that, as I'll be here all night typing, and you'll have a lot of reading ahead of you. (That is of course if anyone does happen to read this). So to summarize; Partying, turned 21, more partying, moved to newcastle, a little bit of partying and new job.

2010 . . . well, it wasnt as exciting as 2009. Im not saying it was a bad year, but 2009 rocked! Although the last 4 - 3 months of 2010 were pretty good. I met some cool people who im now fairly good friends with. I met a girl in November who I felt an instant connection with, staying up til sunrise talking and kissing. We would later go on 3 dates in a row, which might of broken some dating "rules" but they were great. However after that it would be almost another month before I'd see her again. Not that we didnt stay in contact, its just a month can be a long time waiting to see someone you really like. Im glad to report now though that she is my girlfriend now, and we've been together for 2 months on march 21.

The beginning of this year however, 2011 would see me back at my "hometown" of Wagga Wagga. But I gotta say, I dont miss it there at all. Newcastle is way better. 2011 has still really only just begun, but I think its going to be a good year. Panaho is returning to Australia and I think its time the TAFE boys had a reunion. I called the TAFE at newcastle today to enquire about Photoshop night classes so I can refresh my memory in the program and maybe start to get back into designing some things with the possibility and hope of earning some extra money.
Also I need to buy that bike, as well as actually give john a call to have a drink with him. I want this year to be a productive one.

Anyway, that's about it for now, until next time I come back with something worth typing. Hopefully this time though it wont take me 2 years to post again
