Sorry about this


OK, at the moment you may notice that a lot of my more interesting pictures (I.E. The ones which are of people and not silly graffiti) are all showing up as a message from flickr going oops, ha ha, You cant see me (Like John Cena). This is because I have Privatised a lot of my photos on flickr so randoms I don't like cant see me. Sorry about that.

As soon as I get some more photos Ill do a post about anzac day. Oh it was glorious.

Pit Stops

Ok, As you know, they have just had the V8s here in hamiltron. I got all these cool Pics of the track cause we got to drive around it before it was shut off.
The begining of the week me and peaky decided to donate blood. Just because we could. So there you go. We can be nuts and unpredictable, but that sometimes has very positive ramifications. Im O+ even. ha ha. Get it. Alright never mind.
The day after we went and helped maintain this community house by cleaning up the outside of it a bit. Unfortunatly we couldnt paint it because it was raining hard out. But we did the best we could to unclog the guttering and pull weeds out from the window frames. XD
Dont ask me how weeds get there. They have adapted to suburbia or something.
The day after Len Told me I "Should just GO HOME, Izak." I love it when people get annoyed cause I dont take their less than subtle hints.
So mum came down with grandma and picked me up. Grandma seems a bit more doddery than last time I saw her. Now you can get away with saying ANYTHING. lol
Man, Home is getting ripped apart! Henderson looks like a war zone.
I went to the legal graffiti wall and got heaps of pics that no ones interested in. Oh yea, The camera card mucked up. So I lost all my photos, including the V8 ones. Noooo. I was gonna make a special mention of all the love tagging done around henderson, Something you guys would be like aww thats so sweet about. BUT NO.
So I had fun bumbing around at home. Got to see Matt and Keir (Who was mostly at work -_-)
and Zara and Phil. Twas great. You guys rock. Im glad with the way it went. Some people who have gone home feel a little distant from all their friends back home.
On sunday I had to cut out of church half way through So I could get back for Mums baptism.
Heh heh, I hope you dont mind this part Rach. Her grandfather is hilarious. Hes got the coolest English accent. He was messing with this little key chain thing. He lost it when we got to zacs house. We had to go looking for it, as he kept saying "I lost me Fing." Anyway, back to the baptism. Eddy got lost, so we got around the bend in the road, to see her just getting out of the water. GUTTEEEEEEDEDED...ed. We totally missed it, but at least we were all reunited again. All the girls have gotten back from the South Island so now where a big happy family again.


So there it is, my week. Back to the drag of work.. Heres a pic I did at home to make up for the lack there of.

The Breakdown


This the Breakdown, get ready for a shakedown. Events brought to the smackdown, Heres the crew messing up the Downtown.

So work has gone into Limbo. Meaning the people who are closer to home have left for the time being and the others in the south Island are staying a bit longer.
Me and Peake are hanging out again. We have been doing a mocumentary on my host families camera. Its actually pretty cool. You can see the editing and camera work getting better as we progress. Were doing episode 3 today. Its a study on Nerds and pro gamers, or just Peake in general. Hes quite a character in himself. Im trying to steer away from being labeled Pure Pwnage wannabes though. We can't have that.
Bute yea, its been fun thus far. They need the camera back tomorrow though, so we'll probably be at a loss of what we can do. I think someones gonna have to buy me a digital camera or something. XD
If we get enough decent footage we'll submit it to the HM rage Talent Competition. And this year Ill enter it in the Open competition... and WHIP.. If I had flash on me I would probably do a toon. With a subject of nerdom, how could I miss it? Its just a subject I know so well.
Doctor Who wants his telephone booth back.

Oh yea, Sarah, Treating me good so far. The church is confusing though. They like break it into segments and people are walking in and out. Very new age and WRONG. lol, kidding. But a proper little cafe in the foyer? =P

Aftermath




So that night we went messing around in town I lost my hat. I didn't realize how much I loved that hat. We had many good times. She would sit on my head and shade me from the harsh reality Beating down upon me. She would look out for the trials ahead, always looking forward, never looking back. Unless she wanted to be funky. She was truly a friend... - To be continued.


Ok so we had the day off. So we struck off into the mighty city of hamilton. Or the tron. whatever you wanna call it. We saw the smouldering reckage from that exploded factory. It smelt like Marshmallows roasted by satans hand. Suffice to say they probably wouldnt be edible. The main reason we went in was because Aimee hadn't been to the movies while she was in headspace. So me and the boys were like awww, lets take her to the movies. Turns out Horton HAS a who (haha, just so Marsume gets an extra kick out of it) Doesn't come out till saturday. So The girls were all like *high pitched* "Lets go see Step up 2!" and the guys were like *Deep, muscular sounding* "No that looks dumb, lets see 3:10 to yuma." So they saw theirs and we saw ours. And everyone was happy. There was much rejoicing and booty shaking *From pirates*.

I wandered with J for the rest of the afternoon while everyone else went and did their own things. I was with frank for a while in a bank. My new belt is one of those buckle ones without the little pokey bit for the hole. So it slowly undoes itself. I hitched up my pants and tightened it again. then one of the ladies who works there walks up to me and says *Straight faced* "I see your having some trouble holding your pants up, here." and hands me a paper clip. I was like "Oh, thankyou. where does it go? Do I just clip it here or what..." it was a rather random event


Oh yea, It also seems like my body has gotten used to my slightly later starts. So im not waking up at five thirty anymore. -_- My body is in cycle two. Here, let me explain the cycles of getting used to a new time to wake up.


cycle 1 - You have a time that you have always awoken at, that time is now changed to a later date. Your body thinks it is smart and goes wide awake at the old useless time.


Cycle 2 - Your Body Overshoots the time, so when your alarm goes off it wakes you while your in your deepest of deepest sleeps. You hate the world during this cycle.


Cycle 3 - Perfection. Now go back to cycle one.


HAPPY BIRTHDAY MUM, FRANK AND TARRESA! Sorry for spelling the name wrong. lol


Continued. -

Oh woa, oh woa is my hat. For it is gone. Lost to the depths of urban oblivion. Why must you leave me? Did I not care for you? Did I not pick lint off you when I was bored? Did I not draw my cartoon characters inside you? Oh you were a bad ass hat. I saw you in freeride and knew you were the one. Partly because you were the only cool black one that wasnt a gay trucker hat.

You know. I dont think Ill Leave you out there in the dark. I will search.. I went to the places I had been before. Retraced my steps looking for you my darling. It has been a full day without your presence. I toil and sweat. But REJOICE! For you are found! I found you and with that I found the piece of my heart which was lost with you. Look, for you have kept it safe.

and with that I put you back on my head. Never to be forgotten again.


No seriously I think I like that hat far to much.

Cambridge



Well I have settled into my new host family. The Diprose. And yes. THEY ARE A RELATION. Small world I guess. They are a really nice family. Zac had a little trouble with their fluffy cat, turns out he has an alergy or something nutty. Sorted out now.
The toilet is really dramatic. For about five minutes directly after flushing it sounds like the starship enterprise is trying to take off.
The town is small, but thats ok I guess. I think Ill miss hastings. I just finished my third day at the packhouse. Dude, we get tomorrow off. Shaweet! Its exciting since we usually only get sunday off. Thank goodness for impromptu breaks. I would burn out. The place gets really hot in the afternoon. No clock, which is annoying. So once again I have to smuggle my phone in. -_-

Its actually not so bad working with everyone (ok not quite everyone, 5 of the girls are down south at the moment. Miss you all by the way =) <3 )

It seems stricter than the last place. But thats not so bad. I'm officially a packer, but Im starting to slip into the roll of throwing boxes around onto pallets and stuff. Take back your job Frank! I dont want it. XD

Last night Mum and Dad came down and took me to dinner. It was really cool seeing 'em again. They brough me goodies to. I was shocked. Mum got me coke... I know. It was also buzzy seeing pics of my Nephews and nieces. Baby Sarah is so big now. Time flies when your on headspace slaving your guts out. loller

Heres some left over Photos from Hastings. Enjoy. Oh yea, the Obey Buzzy Board I did is at the greens now. Or maybe its in a bin, either way it was a good practice.

Oh man, I gotta tell ya. We were messing about in town tonight. I climbed on top of one of those freight containers and found a diaper. Ok, thats not the right story. I did a video of frank and Peaky jumping into a bush. It was rather lame to be honest. No effort or grace involved. But what you don't see is franks elbow going into the side of peakies head. Which resulted in him not remembering even jumping into the bush. The last thing he remembered was talking about doing it. Lol, It was kinda freaky actually. He only passed out for a second or two. So now were deciding to only go one at a time.
Maybe we should watch less CKY. Oh yea, we also found a road cone that was buried. All you could see was the tip. haha.


Tomorrow we'll probably go see horton has a who. Or hears a who. I can never remember. oh never mind. Looks like it hasnt come out yet.

goodbye to apples, hello to Kiwi Fruit.


So I had my last day at the apple pack house on friday. It was a great day, all the awesome and wonderful ladies at work put on a lunch for us. I was so stacked, Lol, They ran off for us to clean up though, fair enough. XD
The last ten minutes were spent on the grading table (Where I have been for the most part) totally slacking and making people laugh. HOO-RA! A phrase of mine which will probably go down in history there. They were also getting good at my car alarm sound "WOOP WOOP!" which some of you may be familiar with.
One of the girls wanted to beat me up after work but I said no. After much consideration I agreed to a punch to the face. You should see the video, straight on the jaw and then i go flying sideways. Ah good times.
household. You guys were a great family, Thank you so much for EVERYTHING. I know me and peaky would be a colourful lot to deal with. Speaking of which, friday night for the Talent show I did this while the show did its thing. I only justIt was a little sad saying goodbye to everyone though. The same goes for leaving the Greens finished it as they were ending.
Racheal now has the original. I don't know where shes gonna hang it though cause its rather large. Oh yea, what you see in the bottom right is a Jesus stencil I made. I sprayed it onto an A4 sheet the night before then pasted it on during the show. Later on me and Frank did our little skit thing which involved James Brown's "Feel Good" song. It was pretty rad, But I think we offended the next person to go up with our comment of "Singing a church song in church is so cliche." =S. Should have thought it through a little more I guess. Peaky did an improv thingy, where I filled a bucket with random objects and foods and then gave it to him on stage. He ended up getting randoms to Sniff Pepper and eat that salsa stuff which we ate in the last post. (I couldn't remember the name of it, learn to know what I'm saying without me actually saying it already why dont you??")
It was totally rad getting a package from mum and dad. Woa, that totally rhymed. Im A gangsta rapa' and it just don't matta'. P.S. Mum, I haven't taken that T shirt off for four days.

So then the journey began to Cambridge, *Cue rolling country sides and Lord Of the Rings Theme music*....*That I didn't actually look at because I spent the entire time playing Pokemon Pearl on Peakies DS.*
Me and Zak Stayed at Peakies for the weekend. I swear, you can't stay at that house and NOT become a hardcore gamer. They have far to many consols and screens. It was nutty. This is Peakies Machine. Look at it. Its like a Mini bar and dance club.


Oh yea, everyone may have heard of that factory burning down in taumutu, We could see the smoke of it from our house.


Peakies mates are pretty cool. Kinda reminds me of Matt and all his crew back home.
At the moment I am sitting in my new host families home, in my room. THEY HAVE A LAN CABLE! GLORIOUS INTERNET ON TAAAAAAAAAAAP. Also another computer so Zac doesn't need to wait for the lappy. Turns out their fifteen year old son is a computer guy. Looks like we might fit in here. =)

Miss ya'll a lot.

(Early start tomorrow, were getting thrown straight into work again.)
