Hey Mate

 Glen Innes

So, I took the 1505 train from downtown to central Glen Innes (GI). Popped over to McDonald's for a caramel cookie McFlurry (cuz I was hikin' it home the rest of the way) only to find this middle-aged male picking recyclables from the rubbish bin....

Rubbish Picker: "Hey mate, how ya?"
Myself: "Not bad, heading home"
Rubbish Picker: "Man, you're really tall and handsome - you must get the ladies man!"
Me: "Yeah....."
Rubbish Picker: "Seriously man, you're c*ck must stick out high and straight for all of 'em man. At my age, it goes weak and down."
Me: O.O "You betchya"

I am flattered, really.

Guy Fawkes

Remember remember the fifth of November.... Seriously, I thought it was just a movie and not an actual celebration (I'm using the 'I came from a blonde mother card'). But I had no idea people actually celebrated or recognize the occasion - with fireworks! For those needing an easy as history lesson, here's a nice lil website. So, to keep in the Kiwi spirit, I celebrated the occasion with some fireworks and drink (the sunnies were required as it was quite bright).

I sure hope all you male's are raising mens' health awareness! If you're not, not only will mums back crack when you step on that sidewalk crack but dad's prostate will take a serious blow. Ladies, this means you too: no more bleaching that upper lip hair!

Mine almost looks like this ;-)

Future

After 8 lovely months residing in down under's cousin, I have finally decided upon my shortlist of what the heck I'm gonna do.

1.  I'm currently filling out the paperwork to work in NZ for another 12 months (from March 2013). Thus, I could be working here until March 2014.
2. If #1 doesn't work, I'll be doing a working holiday in Australia for 12 months
3. For a variation of #2, I'll travel to Asia for a wee while and then do a working holiday in Australia for 12 months.
4. Return home.  
5. Whatever I please.
