11.04.06 - The Stones with Austin, it was an allright gig, we snuck into the front section, the stage separated to create a catwalk reaching a smaller stage for an acoustic set, the stones were right near us, we were so close it was fantastic. A pretty good gig tho not spectacular.

18.04.06 - Whoa this was a MASSIVE weekend. It started off on thursday at funktrust where I met Hal for the first time, who invited me after to a party with him, he had a big bag of drugs and a hot girlfriend so I left the guys behind and went. He took me to some guys backyard, we sat around, Aren came with me.. then we went to the casino, Aren left, I stayed on and ended up at Hals house, where I crashed out for the day, meeting some cool people anyway, he took me out to a doof that gig out at maroubra, it was a good gig but I was hell burnt out, I met a cute girl called ashley, but I was too burnt out to follow that up. Hooked up a cool guy called Scott with some pills as Hal kept stuffing them down my throat, we left and went back the next morning to play some tracks but the gig was over. Next day went to see Slightly Stupid at the Annandale, still with no sleep, a good gig, nice and mellow, hung out with the guys backstage for a bit, Austin showed up, and ran into Brock from work, from there Austin and I went to 360, a dance party at the Hordern. By this point I was heavily wasted and seeing through people and time.. things got really weird. I think this was one of my most debauched and intoxicating weekend in my life. Three nights without sleep, thats gotta be a record.

Had after work drinks with my training group, Sarah, Trish, Rachel, the other Rachel, Dan and Vedran. Ive never had drinks with work people before. I like Trish, she's fun and cute. Megs showed up, Nick came to get us, by this point I was severely pissed. Zoe was on the phone to Megs, I grabbed it off her.. "I loved you!" I was joking but I got pretty worked up, ended up telling them to let me out of the car in George Street after a long rant against Case. Made it home and we went to a hip-hop gig at the Gaelic club. Soph and Nick came too, but everyone left early. I stayed and ran into Luke Hackett, my old red headed legal studies nemesis from Kingswood High, and Kenneth, who was one of the cooler homies from back then. They gave me a ride back home. The next day we had a bit of a get together, wore a nice shirt and took pictures. Then on Sunday we went to Ikea to see alll the Swedish Robot Alien Aliens doing their furniture thing. We also went to Glebe Markets. Nick ripped up a stuffed toy of an alligator on the road and an old man got pissed off. He was pretty hyped.

7.5.06

Went to Virgins merging with Simplus work party. It was crazy, Kristie Middleton didnt stay, tho she's very cool, but she was there for the 'assembly' which was funny, it was a school theme, we all got fruit and milk, and Russell, the new virgin mascot/campaign came out. 'Look at his bottom!' I yelled, making fun of the way his rear potruded from his silver space suit. I also got very excited about the cheerleader dancers. The party was very flash, Trish, Sarah, Den and I hung out. Danced, got pissed and had a good talk with Harley, and Martin. I did well at the party, afterwards went to crack onto a fat work chick (I was pissed) at someone house and ended up getting high on ice and talking shit, the environment wasnt too friendly. I got dropped off at Blacktown at 3 a.m and had to find my way home, ended up walking around and talking to strangers on the trains, met a cute little baker girl called Laura Shepton, we talked about life and relations, mostly me, when it was time to leave a spiritual looking aboriginal woman turned around and told me 'You are a very wise young man'. It felt good. Got home and slept for two hours before going to work, trashed and with many difficulties did I get through the day of academy, but I made it. By the afternoon I felt great.

Got into an argument with my bitch team leader Tanya, I wasnt going to take any more of her attitude, I snapped at her inside the call centre, heads turned and mouths dropped. We ended up going outside and sorting our problems, she ended up crying to me about her personal life, but it seemed to have helped, afterwards she treated me with a newfound respect. It takes someone to speak up to set someon in their place, sometimes thats all they want, for someone to tell them theyre out of line. I went part time after finding the full time hours unbearable.

Austin and I went to Pete Porkers 40th birthday gig,we got hima wig. Jeff and some other came too. We saw a great band called Los Capitanes as well. Afterwards we went to Vixdens, Luke Shirker andsome of the boys from Rofl were there along with some Japanese kids and the gang. We got trashed, the next day we got lollypops off Vox as parting gifts. Awesome.

The two mexican girls and how i fell in love with one and then she blew me off time and time again so i had a go at them and never saw them again.

Our excellent first day at the markets and our terrible second day.

I have a lot of stuff to catch up on in this blog.

Between the last entry and the next I have:

Returned to Australia from Mexico, scored a job at Virgin and had my hopes and dreams dashed like a gentle moose, lived on the floor of a living room for months, gone days literally without sleep and partied too hard, met Hal, hallucinated, seen the stones, argued with bosses, crashed parties with the gang, woken up in random train stations like Yagoona, played poker and lost, sold shirts at markets, badly, had crushes on mexican girls, met new people, etc.

So mind the missing space i'll fill it up later.
