Today was my first day at work... refereeing kids basketball games at the YMCA. I did 4 games of 4th grade boys, it was exhausting. I got home at didn't plan on partying much because I had to ref 4 more games tomorrow morning and be at the gym at 8:45 am. We ended up heading to Will's house to party. Many of my roommates, Jeff, Cedric and I headed over. We got there and Dane was out of it. He came up to the table when Jeff and I were playing and knocked everything over. I sorted him out and we had a good as time. Later we went back to the flat and Dane and had fun wrestling on the upstairs floor and couches. I was up 2-0, with some cool style points haha. ... read more

Today Steve, Bret, Jon, Jennie, Damon, Courtney (Damon's younger sister), Amy, and I went ridin at Breck. The snow was pretty average. There were alot of ice patches. Jon and I both drove up. It was a great day of ridin because Jon brought up his video camera and Steve recorded us all throughout the day. It was so much fun. I even went through a small half pipe and off some jumps. It was fantastic, the video is hilarious. I ski'd without a hat, my hair was all over the place, its so long now. I havn't cut it since mid June 2005, almost 9 months, haha. Unfortunately Im gonna have to cut it if i get the internship at boeing in la over summer. School is going alright. Materials Science and Computational Methods are ... read more

I spent my 21st in Vegas which was awesome. Brandon and I loaded up my car and we went, stayed at the tropicana for 3 nights. Mom and dad met us there a day later. Stephanie also flew in and had fun with us, she has never been to vegas. We saw some great shows. Cic De Olay was great, we saw the zoomanity version, which was very sexual and hilarious. The host was a transvestite who was a corker. Most of the jokes were sexual and there was alot of audience involvement. We also saw a magic show with big tigers and many animals which was great. The third show we saw was a all around show at the tropicana which was pretty cool. The best part was when a short mexican guy did many ... read more

Got into LAX, lost 2 days due to travel. It was great seeing fasha and branski, it was by far the longest I had gone without seeing them..... just under 6 months. Uncle Danny had a cool party that the three of us went to that night, it was a great way to come back to America! Fasha left early while my bro and I had some beers and enjoyed hangin with Danny and his cool co-workers. We stayed there for a while and then walked back home. It was a nice walk, and good to talk to Brandon. After I got back I called Janika to wish her a happy birthday. Her bday is the 18th, but I had to call tonight because of the time and date difference. She was celebrating at her dads, ... read more

Last night I got into Tauranga and stayed at Owen's place. Today I took the van into a mechanic and had some basic things fixed that he thought might help. Spark plugs, air filter, fuel filter, etc. Unfortunately $200USD later it didnt help much. Tomorrow I will have an auto electric place check it out and plug in a scanner. I drove back to Owen's around 6 and arrived just in time for dinner. He has a very nice family. His dad used to work at the Tui Brewery in the mid 70's and he had an interesting view of the New Zealand Maori situation. After dinner we went to EZ video and rented 6 movies. Three of which I really wanted to see: Once Were Warriors, Donnie Darko, and Whale Rider. We watched the first ... read more
