He WAS 'Some Guy'..

''Green and me, we look so swank in our tuxedos, wearing black and white bow ties, with fake carnations glued to our lapels. We have 'Just Married' written down both sides of the car with tubes and tubes of white toothpaste. Those Oreo cookies. twisted in half and stuck on. We have cowbells and tin cans roped to the rear bumper - a clear violation of the I-SEE-U Noise Limitations, but even Daytimers will cut slack for young marrieds.
Cowbells bouncing and white streamers flying from our antennae, we pull up to the curb, and some guy's standing there with his hands stuffed in his pockets. Tina Something throws her bridesmaid's bouquet in his face, saying, 'Hey, dude.' She yells 'Catch!' The girls silk flowers hit him in the face but he catches them. He's quick. He's a quick guy, and we're short one lookout. How weird is that?
I yell, 'You!' To the guy, I say, 'You got gas money?'
It just so happens that guy is Rant Casey.''

(chapter 16, page 122)

Just Choke

If you are an avid reader and havent read it yet quickly read Choke by Chuck Palahnuik....

Its amazing... the reason i suggest the reading soon is the release date for the movie based on the book sems to be October 31st. If however you doubt you'll read it for any reason but are now thinking to yourself 'Hey, Dave - can yu send me a link to so i can see what the movie looks like and read a synopsis about it?' then you are in luck my friend

It looks pretty true to the book and i cant wait to ...... download it in New Zealand as the release date is probably later over there.

enjoy :)

one bag, 2 bag, 3 bags full..

sometimes i find i pack too much for a night, sometimes i pack really light for 2 weeks. im going for 2 months now and im finding clothes and shoes as i tidy up that i forgot existed. seriosusly, how many shoes, jackets, jeans, hoodies, long sleeved tshirts, pjs, boxers, socks...... well you get the idea.... how many of each of them do i take for 2 months?

then theres the fact im taking a helluva lot of medicine in 2 bags to be safe, then all my chargers, my laptop, external hard drive.... jesus. ive never found packing so hard or stressful and ive not actually started yet.

if anyone can actually offer sensible ideas her im willing to listen cos im a bit stuck.


i am planning ahead this time though unlike on most bus journeys of late, ive got my pads of paper so i can write stories, doodle and write mindless thoughts.... a bit like this one. so at least ill keep myself occupied for the most part i hope.

well, i guess i better sleep.... more mindless new zealand thoughts tmrw no doubt

on one hand its funny..

.. one the other i could get arrested....

If I get bored on one of my planes to New Zealand should i randomly shout some reference to the film 'snakes on a plane' - clearly one of samual l jackson's greatest acting roles.

it could be something like 'holy crap, theres snakes on this plane!!', i could turn to the person next to me and say 'you know that film snakes on a plane? imagine if that happened here!!' or i could just stand up when everyones sleeping and shout 'am i the only one who's fed up of these motherf*****g snakes on this motherf*****g plane?!?'


comments? further ideas?

6 days

start a checklist, make a checklist, finish tidying and organising my room, fill in documents, buy a new camera, pack my bag (once ive decided what im taking - what much of what kind of thing), pack a hand luggage bag. for the love of god pack more than enough medicine and separate it between both your bags Dave, Get the Nintendo Ds sorted with good games.

stop procrastinating...................................

prepare for the long haul on flights. dont get lost!!!


love new zealand.
