Saving Six months, Faeturing "Tom Crap and Katie Hollow Head"

Ok ill get the obscure title out of the way first. This is in reference to a conversation Heath , Wayne and I were having before seeing the second Half of the new Batman Movie, "The Dark Knight". It was refering to the fact that Katie Holmes was not reprising her role in The Dark Knight and we all agreed that that was indeed a bad choice, because it rocks. Anyway we started talking about how its probably better she didnt come back and then for some reason started playing around with her name to show how stupid we thought she was for passing it up. In the end we settled on the name "Katie Hollow Head" and her husband, "Tom Crap".

So to more important or perhaps less child like matters. The second half of my title, "Saving Six months" is in reference to the fact that February is about six months away, and it was said thay come February we would go to Queensland. At this point in time im a little worried of that outcome and will have to be doing some serious saving I think. After Car rego and Greenslip as well as a bloody $400 phone bill! And not getting as much work as I would like, this may become a difficult task. Plus end of year is coming up. Birthdays, Christman, and summer which may mean BBQs, Parties and new clothing and stuff. It is possible, I will just have to sacrifice a bit. I want to have around $3000 for the trip, and it is possible, I will just have to watch my bank account and money spendings.

Since my last post we have finished the second half of season 3 to Entourage, however we have not yet watched season 4 due to work hours and other peoples avaliability clashing. But we will get there.

As I first mentioned we finally got to see the dark knight in its awesome glory. Since my rant the bloke who stuffed up got fired and they fixed everything that was wrong about it. Im going to go see it again with Dad on tuesday its that good. Easily the best movie of this year so far. Whilst we were there we got to see the Quantom of Solace trailer which looks pretty awesome itelf, cant wait for that one.

And now for something completely different, lol.

The last two nights I have been dreaming about being with a girl. (No not like that you sick freaks, lol) like as if I was in a relationship. The strange thing is this girl is no one specific. I remember most of it and I dont recognise the girl so im not dreaming of anyone I know. I do know that this girl is really pretty though. Exactly my type. Maybe thats it, my mind just made her up to fit what it is I may look for in a girl. I dont know. Anyway im still looking for a girl. On wednesday night when I was at work this really pretty girl came in. Wouldnt mind seeing her again.
Personally I think all the girls are in hiding for the winter. Or out during the day as Heath says. Perhaps another reason to look foward to summer.

Anyway thats whats on my mind at the moment.

Catch ya's later.

The Entourage evenings, with money on the mind and High Holiday Hopes

Well its been around 3 weeks since my last post and since then heaps of stuff has hapened! But nothing exciting or important in my life. Im just saying in 3 weeks a lot can happen. Ok so maybe I was being a bit of a smart arse there. Stuff has happened, weather or not you find it exciting is all a matter of perspective, and to be honest I dont care what you think im going to tell you about it all anyway.

So last night I was awake till 3 in the morning. "3 in the morning on a Thursday!" I hear you say? Well actually you might know the reason because you were most likely there. The guys came round last night for the second half of season 3 on Entourage. Yes thats right, since I last posted this marathon had only just begun, and it has continued every Thursday. It has become a sort of tradition of ours of late do be hanging out on a Thursday at some point. I worked in the morning from 10 til 1 (not a long shift I know, but I will come back to that.) So I got home around 1.30 and had told the guys they could rock up at 2. Panaho was first on the scene and the day kind of spread out from there. Dave had to leave for footy training, and Wayne had prior dinner engagements. So Adam Heath and I watched episodes of 2 and a Half Men and a the Lano and Woodley goodbye DVD, then had a BBQ style dinner of sausages and steakets as well as potato bake and salad. Very nice. We then went and picked up some suplies from the kooringal mall, watched bits from the Glass House DVD (I miss that show), and waited for Panaho's return.
Dave got back at around 10.30 and then it was Entourage time. Looks like season 4 next week if I am not working on Thursday.

Ok, now speaking of work, it is really shitting me lately. I have no shifts. No one ha any shifts. Major cut backs for the financial year bullshit, so I have very little money of which to save. And I want to save money. I need money. I have greenslip or whatever it is coming up in august, and am planning a trip to QLD with the guys in February, which I will need a fair bit of money for if I want a really good time. Its no good having enough money for accomidation and travel if im going to starve to death and not get to do anything. I know that it will pick up soonish, but at the moment it sucks. At least I got my forklift licence, thats kinda cool.

Oz lotto is $30 millio next Tuesday and I sooooo want to win. It will save me on having money worries. I could pay off my car, hell I could by a new car. 2 new cars! (but I wouldnt, im happy with the Astra). I could have an awesome QLD trip. I could even buy a house, and furnish it, and move out! So many things I could do with that money. I could also buy the Star Wars lego Mellennum Falcon! Im not saying I would, cause $775 is a lot for lego, no matter how big and cool it is, Im just saying I could.

I wish it was summer already. Just thought I would say that.
I love summer. The weather, the cloths, the cookies (you know what I mean), the BBQs, how good Rum tastes after work or a hot day.
I walked into Mark Anthonys today and they are getting their summer range in already! Bring it on I say!

Today I felt lazy

For most people the Sunday after the night they go out drinking doing absolutely shit all for the day wouldnt make them feel bad about themselves and the lack of activities done throughout the day, but for me I felt particularly lazy today. I think the reason for this is because I looked at the week ahead and I have bugger all to do. I have 2 shifts for work because its June and they are cutting everyones hours back due to the end of the Financial year. So this makes me feel lazy.

Today I spent most of my afternoon, seeing as how I got up just before 12 watching Scrubs. I took a coupla hours out to listen to music and draw, but I felt so lazy. I need something to do and unfortunatly there is nothing to really do in wagga. I need more work, or a new job I think. Or both. There are a lot of days when I wish I had a Monday to Friday, 9 - 5 job like everyone else and with weekends off. That way I can plan my weekends a lot better and have something to do during the week as well as a nice steady cash income. Hoping I can get some feedback with the whole doing voice over work, because that would be a sweet gig and many people have said I would be good at it.

Most recently it has been brought to my attention that whatever I do with my life I will need a lot of money. I know everyone wants more money, and its not like before this realisation I wasnt down for getting more money its just I have noticed that most of the things I do and buy are rather expensive. This isnt because I get them because they are the most expensive thing like some people might, no it just always turns out that way. I live my life by the "I like what I like" and thats the only way I can explain it. You see it just seems the things I like are aways expensive. And sure your probably reading this saying, thats stupid everyone likes the more expensive thing its just weather or not they can afford it. No I mean the more you could show me a picture of many things and probably 9 times out of 10 I will like the more expensive one. This applies usually for cloathing, technology and food. Food is an entirely different matter though, thats based on taste and I can never figure out why people would pay less for something to save a few bucks if they didnt like it. Id rather spend the extra money and enjoy my meal. And fair enough sometimes we all cant afford the nice things we really like but you understand what I mean.

I think the paragraph above is also partially due to the Entourage addiction I have and a conversation Heath and I had the other night. That and imagining the $58 million I wish I had of won. I know everyone who entered all accross Australia (say it like Dr Cox) really, really, re-healy wanted it also, but c'mon, im 20 years old and that kind of money would set me for life. I know a group of blokes from Melbourne won it between them so good on them.

Another thing thats been on my mind lately is the fact im still single. Now according to people out there its always "strange" that when your taken you kinda miss being single. Yeah, well Ive never known that feeling and after being single for a while I can tell you I dont think I would want to go back to it for a while. I guess this ties in with the whole being lazy title in a sence that whilst some days I am at home doing bugger all and watching TV both my sisters might be with there boyfriends. I guess im just sick of being single. But I aso feel that before I can really get a girl I need to have more money and stuff as well as my own place. Well not nessecerily my own, but not living with my parents. I dont know, maybe im talking shit.

I own the Astra, but the Bendigo Bank owns my soul

hahahaha, well the bank doesnt really own my soul. I mean imagine a loan like that.

The other day, Tuesday infact, Tuesday the 4th of March, I officialy bought the Holden Astra off my parents. Yep I got a loan from the bank and now its mine.
Its not too bad a deal. Like $120.00 a fourtnight for 5 years, but im paying $100.00 a week, I want to get rid of this loan as soon as I can. This means less intrest and, well, less time I have to worry about it.
Going to put some mad wheels on it eventually, but for now its just cool that I can take the car whenever I want.
