Well we did it. There is a first issue out on the streets for all of Christchurch to read. I love it. I can now finally sleep without the impending sense of doom.
I put a lot of trust in a couple of people to really make things happen, and I’m glad that now, when it really matters they didn’t fail me.
I didn’t sleep well for a long time, because the past has told me not to put too much trust in people to get things done. I’m glad I went for this leap of faith because Tally Ho has the potential to be amazing.

So if anyone actually does read this, go into town tomorrow and grab a copy.

This time in a fortnight I will be sitting down to my last evening meal in New Zealand.
Its kind of scaring me now.

Had a good weekend I think, Tonight was awesome too.

So much to sort, so little time. Read more →

I attempted to make an awesome meal for someone. I don’t think I failed.
Then we sat on the couch and watched a movie. I thought I’d actually had a really good night.

…then after I dropped him home, as I was driving back, I saw Nick, T’Nealle and Timmy walking up Colombo St.

I pulled over and picked them up…
We went up the Summit Rd and took them to the Bridle Path look out. We talked shit for a while then drove into the clouds and down Mt. Pleasant.

Overall, the best Wednesday I’ve had in a while. Pity about the super sore arms and the being doped on painkillers to numb the pain from the vaccines I have been given. Damn you Peru and your crazy diseases.

People who know me well will know I am a list maker. I get things done by making lists and often not sticking to them well.

I have a list of things that I need to do in the next 3 weeks.
I figure if I post it on here, it just might happen. Nothing like telling everyone you’re going to do something to motivate yourself to actually do it.

Patience and Perfection.

It has now occurred to me how much I am running out of time.
26 Days left in Christchurch

I desperately need to sort all my junk, which is beyond hard to motivate myself to do. I want to spend as much time as possible in the presence of people who are important to me and I’ll miss like crazy when I’m gone. I think ideally it will be one on one time, and perhaps involve mini road trips to places I’ll miss when I’m away.

I’m going to try and organise to get a “family portrait” of sorts with all the people I will miss. It might be hard to get them all in the same place at the same time though. I know I discussed with Timmy once, that before I leave we would take a picture with us in it together. I think I’d like a picture of the family in front of the log cabin.

Here I am with two of my favourite people in the world on New Years day. Out of the 6 people who I could not live without in this world it makes me sad that I’ve only seen two of them since New Years Eve.

I should say that I do have a world of people who are incredibly important to me, outside of the 6 I’m thinking of. I’ve actually spent a lot of quality time with some of the others over the last few days and I think I’ll miss them terribly also.

I started packing boxes over the last couple of days. There will be a garage sale at the Log Cabin on the 16th.

Things I learned after midnight.

The third point, is something I perhaps should have realised a long time ago, but I have pinned so much of what I want to happen in my life on time. Letting things evolve and grow. I don’t want knowing this to ruin hope.

So aside from these things, New Years was amazing. The people who put the effort in, made an amazing night. I kind of wish I’d drunk less, and brought a warmer pair of socks.

Tommorrow I’m taking Josh to the carnival. We’re going to take an awesome road trip. I think Rose is coming with us. I’ll see who else I can round up. Its been nearly 6 years since I last went. The carnival is so traditional. Fingers crossed the weather will hold up Read more →
