Ode to a Great woman

My Nana died this morning.She was in her 70’s and very ill. I remember her as this young 60 year old. I used to live with them, I’d come home from parties, and they would be up sitting out the back drinking and playing the Ukelele. Nana never said a bad word about anyone that […]

New Government

Well finally.. we got a new government.. hopefully now my student loan tax will disappear.. but.. Winston Peters.. in cabinet? I dunno about you, I’m terrified. The guy is a madman… I’m a bit concerned at his sanity. Why do people get into politics anyway? Because they think they can genuinely do a better job […]

The earthquake

Some people might rave on about how the world is ending and all these disasters are of biblical proportions and fortold and stuff.. But i’m not gonna. My heart goes out to those people. Those poor parents digging frantically for their kids in a collapsed school. I can only imagine the panic they experienced. In […]

What is it with computers?

I burnt a copy of slackware linux… but it corrupted and wont install. So i reburned it at work. It still wont install properly.. So i installed mandrake, which I KNOW works, but it failed too. So its my CDwriter thats playing up, as thats what I use to install the stuff. Gosh darned annoying […]

Finding Neverland

Great movie.. Never used to like Mr Depp all that much.. but lately I have to say… I am finding myself in awe of him. Gotta guestion… as an op of an IRC channel, I am asked to maintain a “family” atmosphere for this particular channel.Well… some people complain that we are too strict (the […]

post election blues

Well we got ourselves a hung government.. Some things are clear to me.. 1. there are alot of selfish people who will take cash over whats good for the country.2. NZ (especially the Maori) dont believe we are ready to be “one people” just yet. And I agree. Question to Dr Brash, if you become […]

Well its been awhile

Yeah.. its been a long time. Election tomorrow though. I’m gonna vote for United Future, in the hope that labour gets in, but they wont, so national will and I’ll end up with more cash.. so its a win win. 😛 You know, I cant understand how so many people live their lives the way […]

pruning…

I’m an expert at pruning. Gardening in general really. If it involves a lawm mower, chain saw, hand saw, or weed killer – i’m yer man. I’d like to say I have a green thumb, but.. I dont 🙂 I dont even have a brown thumb… well actually.. I do have a green thumb but […]

Million Dollar Baby

I watched this on the weekend. Thinking.. this has gotta be a load of rubbish. But it wasnt. I really enjoyed it. Especially the scene in the end where Clint is talking to the priest.. anyone who says Clint cant act.. well… he proves y’all wrong there. I feel sorry for the people of New […]

TDZK

For those who dont know, its a game I play. www.tdzk.net. For the most part the peopel there are great, made some excellent friends. But.. it preturbs me. This is a free game. The people who administrate it spend countless hours and $$ to provide it for us. Rather than just say “oh you made […]

Life’s a funny old thing

when i was younger.. I was a bit wild.I thought I would be dead by the time I was 30.I didnt want a wife, a house, or to save money for my future cuz I wasnt going to have one.I took more drugs, rode my motorcycle like a madman. Partied hard and all that stupid […]

The Election Debate, Debate.

Perhaps I see things too simplisitically. Don Brash looked like a fool because he doesnt think it was “the right thing” to yell at and verbally attack Prime Minister Helen Clark in a debate. While she was doing it to him. Well. Yeah, he’s right. HOWEVER… He may lose the election because of it. Of […]
