Been a while since i updated here but heres a quickie
Today i finally managed to get out to Joss Bay for a "surf" after 4 years of trying since we moved to CT. The Beanmeister bowled up in the AM and we headed out to find messy slush barely distinguishable as waves which suited our amateur novice level of surfing down to a T.
I was sporting gloves and boots which went a little way to help stave off the bitter November water but Bean went hardcore and ice cream headaches were abound!! Funniest moment was turning round just in time to see Bean get smashed in the back of the head by a fat lump of whitewater.
Anyhoo, here's hoping thats the first of many.
Peace

I will officially never ever sleep again!!!!
Last night whilst i slumbered a spider crawled in my ear!!! what the fuck is that all about?
Half asleep i put my finger in my ear and heard a crunch, i continued to doze until i felt my ear throbbing and the thoughts started to form in my head that something was actually in my ear.
I woke up and thought maybe a bee or wasp had stung me but then found the remains of said spider, my ear continued to throb and i considered the possibility that i'd been bitten by a spider.
After a brief panic i then realised that it was unlikely and more likely was that in fingering my ear i had infact scratched it and that was causing the discomfort, then after a good half hour i wasnt dead so thoughts started to form like maybe it was a radioactive spider and tomorrow i will have the ability to spin webs from my wrists and scale buildings.
Super hero fantasies aside, i will never ever sleep again.

Ok firstly, i really have been very neglectful of my SG blogging duties for some time. I've been promising mega posts and not really delivering so i decided on a new angle, i'm gonna start just getting on here and posting bits and bobs more often rather than waiting for that super hardcore massive update. so here goes:
I did the 10k run and 30k cycle without killing myself and in a not too embarrassing time so yay me.
My new car '76 beetle has been in and out of the garage twice and has now cost me too much money, booo.
i still love it though, and touch wood its been running like a charm since a new carb.
Band is going a bit weird as the drummers wife is about to drop twins so hes decided to take a break for a few months.
Holiday'd with the beanster and family which was awesome, got some surf in and had some laughs, havent been in the water since so i need to rectify that, i am tempted by Joss bay tomorrow as reports say it might be quite good there although i've never surfed there and am a bit dubious about going alone because i'm a pussy!!!
Anyway, thats all for now
Peace

Well now, it would appear that its been a while since i posted on here!!
I've been a little distracted to be honest, lots going on
Anyway, here goes:
Fitness regime started in ernest, i went out running with a mate who ran the marathon in 3 hours (fit bastard) anyway he totally killed me and laughed while doing it which was nice, needed to be done though otherwise i will die when i get to the 10k, i've got 6 weeks to get my ass fit. Its a big ask i know but i will do my best.
Not long now til the holiday and my board is badly dinged though hopefully fixable, putty shit on its way so fingers crossed it does the job or i'll be riding foam style!!
I need to take and upload some photos of my new car too, a 76' Beetle. We've had a couple before and we just got the bug again recently (no pun intended). there was a guy selling 2 of his collection so we sold the 206 and bought em, probably not very wisely but hey your only young once so we figured we'd do it and see what happens. we are both running them as daily drivers which in my opinion is better for em than letting them sit in a garage and so far so good.
Thats all for now, photos to follow
Peace and love

OK so Bonsai take a little more care than i previously thought, i think i killed it!!! We are trying to revive it but its not looking good, i should have just googled it to find out about how to water it etc.
On better news i have now lost nearly 3 stone and am getting back to something resembling a proper healthy weight, yay. I need to start training for the rhino cycle and run in september so i gotta get off my backside now i've lost the weight and get my fitness level higher otherwise i'm just gonna die as soon as i start to run.
The weightloss should also mean i can fit in my wetsuit again so i am hoping to get out in the water over the next few weeks.
Photos of my sixpack to follow hehehehehe

I love green stuff!!!!
I dont mean money, although that can be pretty cool!! No, i mean plants and trees and stuff, went to a big garden show which sounds pretty lame and to be honest i thought it would be but i seem to have renewed my love for the green stuff, go figure.
Plus my girlie bought me a bonsai tree and it rocks like a mutha, i totally love it, gonna take photos and stuff soon but for now i need to work out how not to kill it!!!
Over and out, for now

Saturdays studio outing is complete and there are now new Oceans Cry tunes up on the MySpaz site
All went relatively ok, it was a little rushed towards the end and all in all i'd have to say i'm not happy with the vocals and my singing in general as i feel as though my voice is not really good enough to recreate what i hear in my head but i guess thats life to a certain extent, its not going to get any better so i shall just have to live with it or get a singer, we'll see.

God damn, back to school!!! Its hard work, long hours and shit money!!!
Ahhh who am i kidding there are harder things i could be doing, the hours arent that long and the money is pretty good i'm just lazy is the thing.
So i failed to start my diet as i needed to get a medical which i didnt get done til wednesday and i been flat out since then so havent got it going, hopefully though this weekend its on!!!

I been feeling really old and overweight lately, not much i can do about age but i'm on a mission to lose a few pounds so i'm starting a diet tonight, we'll see how that goes.
Rubbish update i realise but i'm not really feeling this place at the moment, the changes to the layout have bugged me, i prefered how it was but then i do fear change so maybe thats just me more than there being any actual issue with the new layout.
Back to school next week, Easter hols have gone too fast and i havent gotten round to half the things i wanted to get done but thats pretty much the story of my last 10 years, i just suck at having get up and go. on the upside if procrastination was an olympic event i'd be world champion!!
My band are in the studio in a couple of weeks too which should be cool, i will do some shameless self promotion on here when we are finished with the recording.
Peace
