Late Night Amsterdam

Moments in Madrid

Charlotte's Finest

Much respect and love to Philen, Darcy and their fine rugrat for a fantastic Eater Day. My favorite cuban, 18 holes of disc golf, and one fine meal at the end. Thanks guys, your house rocks!

Proper Football!

Many thanks to Mr. Goodyear for last nights birthday ticket to the Asian Champions League match in Melbourne. It was a fine, fine match between Gamba Osaka FC and the Melbourne Victory. 4-3 win to Osaka ("konichwa bitches!") was chock full of excitement from both sides. Good scoring from the start with some really good headers from Osaka. I think I was one of the 150 people out of 23,800 that was wearing a Japan jersey but alas there was no hooliganism unless you count the gay boy that tried to put his arm around me a crosswalk! (I know, WTF!) He hopefully just liked the digs I was wearing. If you have yet to ever see a proper football match in a proper stadium I would do it, absolutely live atmosphere.... even if your mate books you into the dry seats!!! Cheers Gerry.

A little birthday party

If you happen to be anywhere near this favorite haunt of mine please drop in and say g'day. Big thanks to Brendan for letting me take over one of his bars again and as always much respect to DC for the fine musical stylings we will surely be privileged to. I hope to see you there!

Good Morning.... I think.

Wow. 7:26 am and a few cups of coffee. It seems, as I have been told, that my blog has been lacking. True. I have wrestled a bit with it for far too long now and should just start writing.

Normal things don't really happen to me. 5:30 am came and I was up which finds me lucky enough to catch my mate Andy Ward's show on TKO FM from Costa Blanco, Spain.

Thanks Andy, I needed the head space. It's been a long 6 weeks with seven countries in all. I highly recommend that at some time in your life you check out the island of Santo Thomas off the coast of Honduras. It sounds all fine a good really... I travel a lot. Yeah, maybe it is. But you have unexpected early mornings like these. Some good some bad. I'm not a Dj which is probably a good thing. My schedule is hectic enough.

So what's been going on? Polaroid gives up on film. Ouch. TSA still makes flying through the states worse and worse. 18 Holes of disc golf and my favourite Cuban Cigar have been a highlight this time out. I saw snow... enough about that. Much respect to the TOP boys in NYC for an eventful night in the pub! HUGE.

What can I say. Maybe it will get easier to write. There are so many stories to tell, just worried about the nagging and whining that could appear during certain parts of the working year. I guess we'll see how it goes.

Viva La Blog!
