Today I am free! Free for 2 whole months it would appear as today was the end of the First Semester at Uni. And there is excitement while I post this as the Caps lock on the work 'break' might suggest. I try to keep my blog post title's interesting or unique in some way all the while being relevant to the blog post they are headlining.
While it is clear why I have used the word break somewhere in the post title some of you may ask why I have chosen to make it sound like the beginning of a play from an American game of football. Well thats simple; 1. It's because it's the first title that came to mind and 2. I might have been watching a little too much Blue Mountain State in the passed month.
Now while I still will be working any hours i receive from my casual employment at The Honeysuckle Hotel this 2 month break between Uni semesters is the longest break I have had in I don't know how long. And to be honest, I think I deserve it. The one thing I want to do over the Uni break is keep myself occupied, this way I wont get bored and waste the time off that I have. As I said earlier this year, I wish to be productive. So I guess this particular post today is a checklist of everything I wish to achieve in the holidays.
Alright, in no particular order here is my list;
1. Go to Crescent Head while Naomi is on placement. Eat out in Port Macquarie. Toast Marshmallows over an open fire and look at the Stars
2. Have drinks and catch up with Dave Nixon
3. Catch up with Tom Raymond
4. People I need to call and catch up with;
- Nikki
- Adam
- Panaho
- Wayne
- The Vellings
5. Go for a run EVERYDAY. Rain hail or shine
6. Read the last 2 Hunger Games books
7. Wash the Car
8. Re - watch Alien, watch Aliens and go see Prometheous
9. Watch Baz Luhrmann's Romeo and Juliet and Moulin Rouge
10. Create a Zine
11. Contact Eleane and create some final designs for Femme Modelle
12. Play the Playstation
13. Do some more Cooking and learn some new recepies
14. Do some creative design work. Maybe begin thinking about how I want my portfolio to look
I'm sure I will add other things to the list during the holidays, but I think that this is a good start.

Oh shit I'm 24!
The other day, on the 29th of April I once again had reached another anniversary of my birth. Yes it was my twenty fourth birthday. And just saying that out loud makes me feel really old. Naomi likes to comment on my age and how old I am by fondly referring to me as a fossil. Of course she is exaggerating, I'm not that old in the grand scheme of things and am only like a year and 5 months older then her.
I didn't do any massive celebrating for my birthday, but I still had a pretty great day! Naomi made me an amazing birthday brunch which was very filling but ever so tasty. After that I had work, but only for 4 and a half hours. After which I walked home and managed to catch Naomi starting to watch Kill Bill Vol. 2 which we watched and passed the time with before meeting my family at Grill'd at The Junction. Presents were kindly given and we all then enjoyed some tasty Burgers. Baa Baa Burger was my Burger of choice for the night, quite possibly my favorite one on the menu.
After we all gorged ourselves on Burgers and Chips Naomi and I went to the Charlestown Square for the 9.30pm screening of The Avengers! In 3D in the Titan XC cinema, the biggest screen in Newcastle! The movie was EPIC to say the least. Amazing special effects and cool action with a bit of humour. Take all this with some Malteasers and wash it down with a Pepsi and you have yourself a very enjoyable night at the movies. All in all it was a pretty great birthday. Next year I will be a quarter of a century! I don't know how I got so old so fast.

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

Saturday was a good day
Well saturday started around 11am. I had been out the previous night for Toms 18th and well, some drinking. Matt and Sam had come all the way from Canberra overnight and got in around 4.15, not long after I got home.
Anyway I had decided to have a BBQ lunch, and seeing as how it was nearly lunch and not wanting to spoil my appatite I skipped breakfast. I messaged the guys, Adam, Heath Panaho and Wayne to come round at 1.30. Wayne could not make it, however we were to see him later in the day. It was around 2 when all the snags were cooked and we got to eat, with Adam, Matt and myself sinking back some cold drinks. We spent the afternoon catching up and watching Family Guy and Entourage while enjoying our alcoholic bevriges.
It was aound 5.30is when Adam Matt and I left for the RSL for Camerons 21st. We were to meet up with the other guys later. Dinner at the RSL was pretty good, and what was crazy was Tamika's 19th group was just a table away and it consisted of people I knew from work.
Adam, Kasey and I left the RSL around 8.30 and walked up to the bass bar. A journey that saw me having to listen to and endure the drunken antics of both Adam and Kasey. But they made me laugh. $5 at the Base Bar got us in to see Duck Puppy, a new band with original music and on Bass was our good mate Wayne. The turn out was great. Panaho met us up there.
After Duck Puppys set and a song of the next group Panaho drove us to the Vic carpark where he decided his car would remain for the evening in order to enjoy some drinks with us. We walked to the Capital, got stamped and then headed back to the Vic. Straight to the Bar is where Panaho and I went, ordering 2 tiqilas and a chaser afterwoods. A random girl at the bar decided we didnt have enough salt on our hands, and so took it upon herself to give us more. My palm tasted saltier then the sea I think.
We then went and in the corner near the back bar rocked to the band playing which was none other then the Mighty Yak. We had a bit of a chat with Luke during the break before I headed up to the Capital.
Inside the Cap was almost every person I know it seemed. Tafe mates, work mates, old school mates. It was just a great night.
BBQ lunch, Rum, Rock, good Mates, and Dancing with a pretty girl.
Like the title says, Saturday was a good day.

Lachlan Jordan in Before the sun rises and the Mysterious phone calls.
"I didn't know there was a 5AM mass at Church before. I didn't even know there was a 5AM. Why didn't anyone tell me?!" - Chris Griffin, Family Guy
Well it actually wasn't 5AM, but even earlier. I woke up this morning before the alarm at around 3.19AM. I thought to myself, man this time 2 weeks ago I was awake, but still from the night before.
This morning was my first back dock shift, which ment the ungodly early morning start of 4.30AM. As I sit here and type this I can tell I am going to sleep well tonight. Im almost falling asleep now. Thats probably a good thing, it means that I will have an early night and be able to sleep because I have to do it again tomorrow.
Getting up at 3.30 and driving to work at around 4 meant that it was still dark. I was working before the sun had even rison. Infact as I worked I could slowly see it becoming lighter as it brought on the day called Saturday. But today was pretty good. Got to do some new things and because you are constantly doing things then time seems to fly. I mean I did 8 hours work and it didnt feel like 8 hours.
The second half of my blog title "the Mysterious phone calls" means, well, just that. In the past week I have been recieving some rather early phone calls. The first was a number I did not recognise, and it began with 923, so I believe it is not Australian, as the Aussie numbers begin with a 61. That number called again today, twice infact and an hour apart from each other, one at 5.47 the other at 6.47. Also I recieved a phone call at 2.30AM the other morning from an unknown number. I also got a call today at 3.42AM which I managed to answer but I think they hung up. It lasted probably only a second, but I think I could hear people in the background. Strange. Perhaps this mystery will be solved soon, or not, I dont know. (I hope I do solve it because its annoying me). Anyway I will keep you posted.

The Mighty Yak / "This aint a scene its a god damn arms race!"
Wow, not long apart from my last weekend adventure blog comes another tale of a saturday night. This particular saturday wasnt a rather evenful one, but I feel I should post about "The Mighty Yak".
Saturday I finished work at 10.00PM, came home, ate, had a shower an went out. The Union was my destination and I was meeting my Saturday adventure partner in crime Adam. The reason the Union was our first venue of choice was because of the musical act there; "The Mighty Yak".
Adam and I did Digital Media at TAFE the last 2 years and one of our teachers was rocker Luke Chisholm, who is the guitarist in this band. The band itself playes covers from familiar songs that Adam and I like. We always liked it whenever Luke played because we knew we would like the music for the rest of the night, and that it would be played well. Back then we never knew the name of the band but now we do; "The Mighty Yak". I should mention the reason Adam and I like this band so much is because they all rock hard, and rock good. They all contribute to making the music sound awesome and are great entertainment when on a night out. Adam has also stated "they are the best band in Wagga. They have a website so check it out;
http://www.themightyyak.com/
We got there, ordered a Rum, bundy of course, and went and talked to Luke in between their sets. At around 11.30 Adam and I ducked over to the Capital to get our stamps, then back to the Union to rock out once more.
We even sung a bit of a song. Halfway through the singer Brad pointed the microphone to us to which we sang the part of that Fallout Boy song; "This aint a scene its a god damn arms race!"
We kinda just shouted it and probably didnt sound very good, but, oh well.

Aussie! Aussie! Aussie! / "No one's going to play Bulls on Parade!"
Well it has been almost a month since my last post, slack I know, and this really sux to all my undying "lachlans World" blog fans, (those of which I dont think exist, I dont know if anyone reads this.)
Its 2008! I havent said that yet, and so far not too bad. A lot has happened in a month since I think about it, but nothing overly exciting to post about, no. I said I havent blogged in about a month, but it feels like forever since I have blogged about my weekend out on the town. Yes thats right, another adventure that only can come from a Saturday night of unexpected awesomeness and fun. I think its best to begin at the begining.
Saturday 26th of January, Australia Day. (well just in NSW apparently). 5.45AM. Thats right 5.45Am, thats when my alarm went off. Why would you wake up at 5.45Am on a Saturday you ask? And on Australia Day?! well I had to work. 6.45AM till 3.15PM, which means I missed the Aussie Day races, but not to worry, I had the afternoon to rock out and celebrate the country I was born in.
So after how ever many hours it was at work. 8 and a half actually. I worked it out for you. I wasnt going to, but then decided I would.
I left work to go pick up my mate Adam who was coming around for a few drinks before we went out to dinner. Sam also came round cause she was hanging out with my sister. They also were coming to dinner because well, why not? the more the merrier. Adam and I would have had more people come, but our other mates were either working late or out of town, and one not even in this country! This means you Wayne.
Anyway after 3 rums, and the simpsons movie, and some family guy we were ready to go. Hogs Breath for dinner. $30.00 later (not including drinks) and a full stomach, we were ready to leave Hogs Breath and hit the town, as some people migh say. By the way that $30.00 meal was a steak, and totally worth it. Oh I might mention that on this particular evening I was being rather patriotic. I was wearing an Australia Day T-shirt I had made and had some Australia flag fake tatoos on my wrist.
Frst stop, the Vic, and it was packed, havent seen the Vic so packed in a while, which is a shame reall cause its a good place to go out and have a few drinks. The band at the Vic were, well, a bit shit. They attempted to play "killing in the Name of" by Rage Aainst the Machine, but failed. At the Vic I met up with some of my mates from work, and played a game of pool with Kaseys boyfriend Chris. I also saw Claire there.
We left the Vic at 11.00 and headed up to the Capital with Adam and I in high hopes that Luke would be playing at the Saloon. "Man I hope Chisholms playing!" Also I spent that time saying: "I want someone to play Bulls on Parade, I have had that song stuck in my head all week and that would be so cool." And what was Adams response? "No ones going to play Bulls on Parade!"
Around an hour had passed at the Capital and the Saloon Bar had finally opened its doors. I walked in there to discover non other then Luke setting up his guitar. I ran back into the Capital looking for Adam. "Chisholms playing in the Saloon!" We went back to the Saloon to talk to Luke before he started playing. I know the name of his band now; "The Mighty Yak". They opened with "you really got me". Adam and I like it whenever Luke plays because he is an awesome guitarist and his band plays covers of a lot of songs we love to hear.
More time elapsed and Adam and I did our usuall laps around walking from the Saloon to the Cap and back again. On one occasion we entered the Saloon Bar to hear the Mighty Yak playing "Bulls on Parade"!! We ran to the dance floor and rocked out to that for a while. When the crazy guitar solo came up Adam and I just watched Luke play. It was nuts!
End of the night in the Saloon came and they ended with more Rage against the Machine. The name of the song; "Killing in the Name of". It was awesome. There was like this mini mosh pit happening, everybody shouting at the top of their lungs; "And now you do what they told ya!"
3.00AM, closing time. We left the Capital and walked up the street and sat down a coupla chairs away from JD's kebabs. Adam got a Kebab and was annoyed he could not ring Wayne who was in Paris. (Do you know what they call a Quarter pounder with cheese in Paris? Royal with cheese, lol).
After sitting down for what may have been half an hour talking to randoms about upcoming films and old comic books and cartoons we left to fincos (if thats how you spell it). Heath and Adam dragged me there, (not literally) and we sat out the front talking for around half an hour waiting for the taxis to come along and fill up, as well as the other randoms who came and went.
It was about 4.30 in the morning when I got a taxi home, and around 4.50 when I got to bed. Wow, if I had of stayed awake another hour then I would have been up for 24 hours. Crazy.

It was about 4.30 in the morning when I got a taxi home, and around 4.50 when I got to bed. Wow, if I had of stayed awake another hour then I would have been up for 24 hours. Crazy.

Saturday, Saturday!
You have to sing the title in tune to that song.
Ok, yes, Saturday.
Well I went to work on Saturday, but a small shift only 3.30 til 6.30, and that wasnt very exciting.
Went to Waynes new digs, Adam was all ready there, killing at Guitar Hero. I had a go, and I think its safe to say that... I sucked! lol. Nah, it wasnt too bad, I started to get the hang of it. We went out at, well, I cant remember what time it was, but we walked to the Vic, which was cold, as it was a cold night. Didnt stay there for long as we ran into Kel, and she took us to some party at the Saloon. Felt like such an intruder.
Lukey Luke the rocker rocked up, as he was to be the entertainment in the Saloon for that evening. We chatted to him for a bit, and we had to leave the Saloon, and get back in Via the Capital doors, but we didnt have to wait as we had already been stamped at the Saloon, which was cool.
We hung around the Cap for a while, waiting for the Saloon to re - open, as we wanted to hear Luke's band play. They were good as usual. We rocked out to them most of the night, as they played good and familiar songs to us.
I like going out. Just need to find a girl to go out with. lol, its the only way you can enjoy the Capital. That or a carton of Rum. lol. Nah its not that bad. JUST PLAY SOME NEW SONGS FOR FUCKS SAKE! lol.

Give me some Skynyrd! / You made out with my friend!
Ok, Starnge title, I know. And I know your all thinking Lachlans on the drugs, (and for those of you who dont know me... that was a joke. Because I know your sitting there thinking, "oh my, this person was on drugs, then wasnt, but now is back on them and - " NO. your wrong. Remember kids, drugs are bad. Except the ones that make your headaches go away).
Anyway from that small piece of pointlessness comes this blog of Random that are to in someway sum up the events of a Friday evening I had. Last Friday. And oh I know that the formations of type on a computer screen can never really live up to actually living the events, but you will just have to use your imagination.
It all began with a fairwell party to be held in honour of someone I work with because - you guessed it! He is leaving. So this particular function was to be held at Romano's a local Pub and hotel. They, being the people who organised the fairwell, had hired out a private room upstairs. I know "Private Room" sounds a bit odd, but really, what else do you want me to call it?
I decided to go to said Fairwell after people had asked if I was going, and Trent said he would only go if I would. So I decided to go. The night cost me $10 before I even got there! (but its ok, I made it back on the Pokies). Anyway on that day i had agreed to attent the function little did I know how crazy and lolworthy the night was to become.
It started out normal, I met Trent at woolworths, and we then walked to Romano's. This was around 8.30ish and at that time not many had arrived. We went upstairs to the Private Room which consisted of a small dancefloor, some tables and chairs, food on some of those tables, and a small bar which unfortunatly for a female staff member, she was to stay at for the majority of the evening. Oh, and a Karaoke machine, which by the way I might of sung on if they had played Jonny B. Goode.
As the night went on people were getting drunker and the Karaoke machine was working hard with people huddled around it wanting their song to be next. All I wanted was Sweet Home Alabama. "Put on some Skynyrd!" I would shout. But did anyone listen? no.
So about halfway through the night, not expecting to see chicks I might fancy until I would go downstairs to the main bar, Shannon rocks up with some girls from Kooringal woolworths. One of which I kinda fancied. However nothing happened. I'll get to that in a little bit.
So there I was, I had just sat down, as Trent had gone to... Fuck knows where Trent went, lol. He was smashed. So there i was, sitting there, checking this chick out, thinking how I might go over and start talking t them, when she comes to me. Guess what she said? "You made out with my friend!".
WHAT?!
I pretty much said that to her? No I didnt I said. Yea you did, I saw you down the main street. You should talk to her. I tried to keep talking to this girl because, even though she mad no sence, lol, I was interested. She looked pretty and this kinda crazyness she had about her was a welcome change to the evening. So I tried to keep talking to her. And after about 2 hours, I dont think I ever got her real name. Oh and when she draged me over to go and visit her friend, who I had suposidly made out with, my name was to Mark. lol, wtf?
So yea it was kiinda fun to hang around these randoms because quite frankly, I didnt know what was going to happen next. But this girl, it became apparent that she was eyeing of well, I wont give names. So I left them alone to later discover she was infact 21, whilst the guy she fancied is only 17. lol. So when she told me that they had kissed, I asked her friends if she knew how old he really was. When they said no and I informed them that he was only 17, there was much laughter. I dont know what happened to them befre the night was out, because I left before everyone else.
But you know what was cool?! later that night I discovered her friend, was a Tarantino fan. She had the Pulp fiction soundtrack and everything. Plus she knew Rodriguez stuff. So I spent the last 10 minutes of my night out talking about Tarantino and Rodriguez films. It was cool. wish we had of started talking about it earlier.
Sorry this was such a huge post.
To sum up:
Fairwell Party
No sweet home alabama
Drunk Trent
Crazy, but fun Kooringal woolworths randoms
I apparently made out with someone I have never met down the main street as a guy named Mark
Won $10 on Pokies
Talking with random (sorry I cant remember their name) about Tarantino and Rodriguez.
lol, Crazy Fridays.

Woho! 4 day Weekend
Well the weekend started for me, like most on a Friday evening. After having to go to work I went home and put Dogma in the DVD player, Dave was kind enough to lend it to me as I hadnt seen it and intended on renting it. It was such a cleaver and Funny movie.
No pleasure, no rapture, no exquisite sin greater... than central air.
I had to get up in the morning on Saturday to what turned out to be a rather busy and eventful day. Maccas for breakfast which was nice, then off to work, 9.30 til 1.30. Walked from work to the main street to do some mothers day shopping, as it was the first chance I had to do it all week. My DVD I had ordered from Sainity, Nick of Time, had also caome in so that was cool.
That night I went out to the Saloon for Dans 21st. Adam, Dave and Wayne were there aswell. We played pool, and they had food going around, it was nice. The DJ played the songs we requested, but no Jungle Boogie. We went into the Cap when the doors from the Saloon opened up. It was fairly busy, but not as busy as it usually is. We went out on the dance floor and danced a bit, were there were some good cookies, lol. I was going to talk to one, but lost them in the crowd.
Poor Dave was deso driver for the night, and he kindly drove me home.
Sunday I awoke at 11.30, its good to sleep in. I turned my phone on and got the strangest msg from Heath, not even he knows what he was trying to say. Then to the video store! As I had most of the weekend off work, and I didnt have any due due assignments I had decided to go and rent some movies. Ones I have been wanting to see for a while.
The reason im in town, is cause of a Kansas City Shuffle
Lucky Number Slevin was the first on my list. Here in Australia it is entitled "The Wrong Man", but I still think Slevin is the best title. The others I rented were;
Mallrats, Donnie Darko, Inside Man, the 40 year old Virgin, Garden State and Children of Men.
So I had bought biscuits and dip, Piged out and watched movies, whilst having some rum. All in all, a good day.
This type of day continued troughout Monday and Tuesday. Only on Monday I spent most of my day on the Net, tlaking to randoms talking to me on Flixter. I now have a friend in Colorado.
So that was my 4 day weekend. Good Fun.

More Rum! My birthday weekend
Rock on! I had an awsume weekend on the weekend, being the 28th and 29th of April.
First of all, if you dont already know, it was my Birthday. I am know officially 19. Im getting old, lol. So yes seeing as how my actual birthday is on the 29th, which was a Sunday, we just went out the day before, which turned into Sunday.
On Saturday I went down the street and bought some stuff. (well, I coned mum into buying some things, lol) Not much just Dip, and Avacado. Oh and Chips, and some other things to make Nachoes. Anyway Newbie came over, (some of you will know his as Trent. And some of you will not know him.)
We pigged out on dip and biscuits whilst watching season 4 of Smallville, and started having a few drinks of Rum at 4.30. Trent got sick of Smallville, so I suggested we watch From Dusk Til Dawn, as he haddent seen it before. Matt then came around and he watched with us whilst drinking his Jim Beam. I got a message from Bec, who told me she would not be able to make it that night, and she accuesd me of being drunk! Just because I said I need to learn how to speak spanish.
The movie finished, (just in time) for us to leave and go to the farrer for dinner. I usually love their Chicken Kiev, but I have to say that night I was disapointed. Not up to its usual standard, lol.
After diner we went to the Vic. Poor Trent couldnt get in because he hasent got any ID yet. They wouldnt accept his birth certificate, lol. Inside we saw Luke. (you know, that guy who teaches us at TAFE). We were talking to him and his mate for a while, and it turned out they were the Band for that evening. It was pretty cool, they opened up with "My Happiness" by Powderfinger. So we rocked out to the tunes Luke was producing for a while then we went to the Capital at about 11.30. I had a get me and 4 friends in for free card, which was convenient because I rocked up with 4 of my mates.
Saw tones of people I knew, and a few people from Tafe were out again.
Chunky Adam and I got a pic taken:

No Buttons!! / "Say what Again!"
Since my last post I have discoverd how to get the effect of the lights fading away, and it looks pretty cool. Here is a snapshot;
But as cool as this is, (the look and the fact I actually figured out how to make it work), I have no buttons!! They are not working, and I cant figure out why. Im sure someone will be able to come along and say "look you idiot, this is what you are doing wrong" But Flash just isnt my strong point. Dont get me wrong I have learnt tones about it this year, but I still suck. lol. I am really dreading the due date on this one, (and all the other ones). I feel like I am going to struggle through this year.
In other news, the weekend was full of emotional Highs and Lows, with tones of stories being told, and some rather Lol worthey events that happened at the Capital/Saloon. Dave and Adam will know what I'm talking about. HAHAHA, Luke. LOL.
It seemed that almost all our class was out that night. (curious to here how the rest of Heaths night went). Lots of laughing, dancing and Rum drinking; which resulted in Adam and I almost shouting the whole night.
"SAY WHAT AGAIN!"
