another big weekend

If you've ever known me to say during a week "ok so this weekend im not drinking and im gunna stay home have a quiet one and save some cash" then you'll know that that never happens and i always nearly always have a big one. Well you'll be proud to know that last week i said id stay home and i didn't. Good to see that im fullfilling everybody's expectation.

So prepare yourself for another long report from a huge cheshy weekend

Friday
Worked and planned at this point in time to still stay home and do nothing and save some cash. What really happened was that its adams last weekend in sydney before he has to move his shit down to melbourne so we had to go out and have a few beers.

Brenton and his band fidei played at spectrum so we headed off to see them before tehy had to head down to wagga for the "dusty days" festival. Got a call from james and met up with him for a bit but he ended up leaving with some asian bird to go dance at YU i think.

Since they weren't coming out we decided to head to this party at redfern that trent was friends with. Some arty people from his art school who decided to have a redneck party but because no one knew what a redneck was they changed it to a cowboy party instead.

After picking up a case of extra dry we cabbed it there and rocked up at a pretty busy time of the night. It was a arty party plainand simple and ihave to say i am in my element at parties. I do even better if its an arty party and the fact i had a smoke with alot of beers at the end of a long week i had a pretty good night.
n.b. Insert indian feather comment here for those that understand. ;P

Saturday

Woke up late sat morning and found my self alone and bombarded witha few messages from lukey asking me what the fuck i was doing? He was of course in reference to MattyG's party in st leonards that night and since it was already 5pm i thought i should get off my arse and get moving.

So i headed off to newtown to meet up worth luke and got some food. We ended up getting this chicken and they put it in a chinese container and then flooded it with potato corn and gravy. I wa really hungry but then as soon as i got my food i was done and couldn't eat and pretty much threw the whole thing out.

Travelled to st leonards and had to catch a bus from wynyard which was a pain but got there in the end. It was at st leonards and just down the road from work. We got there round 11 and walked in to funky beats, flashy disco lights and bubbles floating through the air. Free beer and food is always good. Theyre was a room with a xbox hooked up to a projector as well as time crisis three as well as a gun with sensor strips ont he wall so you could shoot right. Ahh so fun.

About half way through the ngiht i was chatting to some dude and starting feeling hungry when i spotted the barbie and a pile of fresh meat waiting to be cooked. I whipped the barbie into shape and the next thing i knew i was cooking for everyone. By the end of the night i was remembered as chef chesh. Ive always found people will like you if you supply them with lots of beer and lots of food. Got home late once again after downing a few too many beers. Great night.

Sunday

A big two nights in a row of partying i only felt like sleeping, but i was awaken by inquests into tropfest and slugged my way out of bed to get ready for a day in the sun! huh yeah right.

Tropfest was pretty cool and there were alot of people there, i think 20,000 people in the end and was a great day picnicing and enjoying the festivities and the sun. The came the rain. It wasn't that bad at first and it provided an refreshing breeze and humidity to the air. Within and hour it was a continuous rain and was unbearable to deal with straight up so i hid under an umbrella with bec and tim. By the time we had gotten half way through the second half of the screenings the rain was pouring down terrentially and we were so wet it didn't matter if you had a umbrella or not.

Tropfest was cancelled and we headed back home. As most of us were soaked and kinda outgoing in some kinda way while heading back through hyde park the others thought it would be a great idea to go for a swim in the hyde park fountain while it was pouring down. I tried to get out by being protector to the mobile technology but was eventually peer pressured into doing at least a lap.

Eventually headed home and froze my arse off the whole way home. My god, beign in bed and dry has never felt so good.

weekend craze

ok, so big weekend it was and because theres so much crap that happened ill try to keep it short and sweet.

Friday

worked had lunch and then went to cabana bar afterwards for staffies. There was only me bernie and robbo from my work but a few ppl from daves work key media were there too so after a beer i migrated to the key media group. Theyre all around my age whereas most dp people are older.

After drinking with dave and his mates from work a few of us headed to cruise bar in the city and after a beer decided it was too snobby upperclass for us working bums and left to get cheaper drinks and hang out with backpackers and other irish english peoples. We headed to a irish bar around the corner which sold schooners for 4 bucks each which is relatively cheap for darling harbour so we stayed there all night.

I had drunk alot and towards the end of the night i was pretty wasted. One of daves friends this gay asian dude who is really cool by the way, sorry cant remember your name, was looking after me making sure i didnt die which was awfully nice of him. He also plays volleyball which is another fact i managed to remember of the night. He at one point sat me down because i was looking rather un well and took the Smirnoff black out of my hand and handed me a glass of water and said "drink this" pointed at the water "and then ill let you drink this" pointed at the Smirnoff. I concluded it was a good idea and then finsihed the water off only to be greeted by another glass as soon as i touched the Smirnoff. Im sure i didn't even get to have one drop of that smirnoff which was probably for the best.

I was meant to after that head upstairs with ben but I somehow lost him and then left and tried to make my way to the station to get home. It was only 12:30. If anyone actually knowing me watched me try to walk to the station they would have laughed themselves silly. First i couldn’t see very well and secondly trying to cross the road was a nightmare. I made it but not without a little upchuck reflex action at some unknown building site. Its a bit blurry.

I managed to catch the last train and luckily it went to ashfield. Yay you may think. Noo in reality. I fell asleep and woke up at lidcombe, i then had to catch a cab because theyre were no more trains, I then found i had no money and fearfully got money out at lidcombe while groups of lebo guys were loitering the streets. Im sure it was all in my head but in the end nothing happened. Got my cab and the whole way home felt like crap, and i struggled to keep the remains of my stomach in my stomach and my eyes awake as so he wouldn't rip me off and drive half way across the city. Another 25 bucks later and i was peacefully being sick on the nature strip of my house. The sleep came and took me

Saturday day

I was woken at 11:30 by mog who has to teach this little asian girl clarinet lessons. I felt like crap and hid on the back steps as to not scare the little ones. I was looking worst for ware. After a short while adam and trent got up and we all decided food was desperately needed at this time of the morning. They had had a huge night out in newtown so we were all ready to celebrate the night efforts with some well earned breakfast. We were in the mood for some glebe breakfast and decided on the big breakfast which cost us a whole 5:95 and wasn't really all that big. But was filling enough. The day was hot and i planned on buying thongs so i was walking around glebe bare foot. joyus fun for me.

We then headed to broadway and i bought myself some haviannas. nice thongs mateys. Then we hit the glebe markets and adam bought himself some vinyl while i got me a black copy of the silmarillion, the only one i havent got in the black set. Me adam and trent got back home and cruised for a bit while i got a little bit more sleep. Adam and trents friend was coming up for the weekend on some wagga art gallery business crap so they had plans to meet up with him, thats ray, while luke sim has started at post modern sydney and he was having a house warming and i had plans with those boys.

sat night
I really struggled to get up by 5 and i didnt really get to lukes place by 6. it was me luke and james, another korean friend from csu wagga, and we had dinner and a few drinks before heading out to candies apartment for a night on the eckies. We planned to meet pinhead there and while waiting i noticed for a sat night it was extremely quiet for kings kross. We later found out huge rave festival was on, so everyone would be at that. met up with pins and got in for free. yaya, thanks to luke knowing dj from the labs or something like that.

we all took a pill each but they were weird in comparison to normal ones. Normals ones give me energy and a bit of a head fuck while these one gave me no energy at all and just sapped the energy from my legs. I could feel the music and i felt like dancing but when id get up i couldn't move and so i would loose it and sit back down again. After it wore off we were all sapped of energy and just felt like crap, luke and pins headed at 4 but me and james kept on hauling.

I managed to get half a poweraid into me and within no time my lifeless legs decided to start working again and i was back in the moves. Too late with 45 mins to go but at least that half hour was good. The music was better at that point to. Too annual of sound for most of the night.

Got home at 7:30 and crashed.

Sunday

Woke up at 4 and was meant to meet shane at arncliffe around 2pm but was late. Me shane matty ken and matts friends, sorry bad on names, all hooked up xboxs to play halo2 and other various xbox games. Id have to say geeky as all shit but its fun to do every now and then. If your a gamer from the old days and you work full time you just dont get that time to play games as much as you would like to.

In short we stayed out there all night till about 9 which meant i still didnt get home to 12:30 . In the end it was me and shane 1st and 2nd pretty much the most of the day. shane would have been 1st more times than me but there were a few games where i just owned with a clear victory of 5 or 6 kills. (first to 15)

ahh big weekend. so tired

weekend rep

Friday

After a full week of work I was looking forward to a beer and a bit of partying over the weekend but by the time I got home on Friday night I wasn't in the mood for anything really. But I continued on further and went to Stef’s and Tim’s house warming.

Stef is from the far right, excentric and loud out going partying type of person while Tim is more of a quieter introverted arty kind of guy. Love them both but I do have to say it will be interesting to see how this house hold turns out. It could be really bad or it might work, you know the whole opposites attract kinda thing.

Walked down to their place in summer hill seeing as its only 5 minutes away and we all got there late which means every one else was already drunk. I didnt drink because i wasn't in the mood and practically couldn’t afford it. (damn these monthly pays).

The party was quite frankly not a party and was really for me being sober and tired pretty boring. Stef is a nice girl but and social but she only has the capacity to accommodate for the person she’s entertaining at that particular point in time. This isn’t a bad trait and probably quite noble meaning she devotes her attention to the person she’s associating. But the party had no music and every one was drinking in silence except for Dave.

Poor Dave he’s going through a hard time at the moment. He’s such a nice guy but he really just needs a nice girl to look after him. The problem is he’s just not confident enough, and lately he seems to be coming very confident and I thought it was going all good but that night he was very drunk and confessed his love to Stef. Ok I had no idea that there was anything happening but apparently there was and Stef didn’t deny anything, so who knows. Poor Dave though, if you read this, Stef really isn’t the kinda girl for you and Stef if you read this then don’t take insult by that but you know that your not, and neither of those things are a bad thing. Thankfully neither of you read my site. yay. I think

Saturday

ok so Friday sucked, then on sat I got woken up early because mog has to teach music lessons so considering I didn’t go to sleep until 5 i was pretty tired having to wake up at 11. Had nothing to do and was half sleeping on the step when Adam came and got me and we went on a bit of a road trip around the inner west. The whole day we drove around, got food checked out car part stores for some clear coat, went to the Ducati store (i so want one), then checked out some records and got dinner at the Lansdowne. We then went out to bondi because i thought phil had a exhibition out there but in reality it was in cudgee and we missed it anyway but we did get to go on a scenic trip around the eastern suburbs.

We got home and were gunna go to the festival of the lanterns with bec and tim but we got lazy and piked. The around 11pm we got the urge for a beer and decided to check out this place in glebe called the distant drummer or something like that. It was a bit of a seedy place with lots of couples so it be nice to take a girl for a few expensive drinks but it was a bit boring. Then we left and headed to the city but ran into a kiwi dude called alex who after talking to for a while found out he had some weed. Now adam had been after some weed for a while now and we couldn't let this opportunity go. So we convinced him to share if wed buy him a drink.

so we bought him a drink (jim beam and pineapple juice = weirdo) at the Lansdowne and the headed out to the park across the road for a smoke. While there we met this random french guy who was also smoking up so we all shared and smoke together. Love this country when that stuff happens. He was really cool, kevin was his name. Then went back to the Lansdowne and bought frenchy a beer, and managed to lose kiwi because he really wanted to head to star bar and couldn't wait for us to finish our beer which was fine by us.

After getting kicked out of Lansdowne we went to Frenchy’s place and smoked some more weed and drank some VB in his street and nearly got into an argument sith some annoying neighbour complaining about the noise. wankers, Chippendale wankers.

anyway the night ended up being pretty random and cool. good night in the end. crashed around 5. so glad we didn’t go to the party in Parramatta with megan and the others. apparentl the party was full gothic and shit as. near miss.

Sunday
funatstic cricket started at 12:30 at neutral bay. but i didnt wake up till 1 so i was late from the get go. then i got ready and pine whos been in singapore rocks up and we all have a little chat. then i leave and it takes me 1 1/2 to get there so by the time i rock up its 5pm and theyre already into the 2nd innings. But i have a field and a bowl and get a three people out while i bowl. One stumping and two run outs. prety cool. nice day and it was hot as in the sun but nice in the shade with a cool sea breeze. they gave up before we got a chance to bat so i didn't get to have a hit but it was still cool anyway.

Ok so im not in the mood for typign right now so ill try to make this short and sweet

bday on the 29th, went out with lots of people and went to candies. Got arguing with one half because they didnt want to pay 10 bucks to get into the club, fuck i hate it when people dont want to spend money to get into some where, it the fucking rules and thats just how it goes, if people didnt spend so much money on drugs then clubs wouldnt have to charge so much for a door fee.

met tara (titties) anbd her friend dave from wagga at ashfield station on the way out to city and i invited them to candies and they came along and theyre both heaps cool. the djs had 3 decks mixing together and two freestyles hip hop rappers which was fantastic.

Stayed till close and headed home. worked all week 5 days at DP 6 hrs a day from 2 - 8 pm. Pretty cool. Trent and megans band played on wednesday at the hopetown but i missed it.

Moved my bed on tuesday and in return for help from trent and adam i shouted a case of coldies on friday and we got pissed at home. We then decided to get kebabs which was a bad idea at 4am and walked to some kebab shop which was closed, then we decided to head to sims kebabs in ashfield and that too was closed so after trekking for a mile or two we ended up getting crappy petrol station food. They had no actual hot food so i got a chicken rool and microwaved it, sooooo dodgy.

Went out sat of gregs farewell and headed to george st rsl for drinks. Met up wih helen who i haven seen in such a long time. I miss her and last night it made me realise how close a connection me her and greg had and how much fu we all had drinking together back at uni with no nonsense or shit getting in the way. just the presence of each others company was enough. Thats what i miss about her so much.

she left early to head home to gosford and the rest of us including greg dave stef bec and tim went to oxford street to meet up with ormo and luke. once i got there the others being trent adam megan matt and john all left and went home and we all headed into a shanty little place called Havana club delux.

They played ministry of sounds compiles and charged 20 bucks to get into a place that smaller, crapper, more expensive and filled with more up tight yuppy mother fuckers than even the capital in wagga. to even talk to a girl in this place you would have to start with

"so if you wanted to have some coke back at my eastern suburbs apartment we could head theyre now in my 50 thousand dollar sports car....."

nice looking girls but what a waste of time money and effort.
