I'm Not THAT Slow

I just realized this morning that I scored a goal in hockey last night, it's the first goal I've scored in 5 or 6 years of playing the game (I think its because I'm usually playing defense/mid-field). I was originally trained as a goalie, but I only like playing that position in winter, and its summer here (haha to all those stuck in those winter months).

Oh and just to clarify, I play field (turf) hockey, not ice hockey.
And... Last night was the last hockey game this season, I will probably be playing again at the end of the year.

Wastedness

I am almost totally wasted, I played 2 games of hockey in a row...again (that's 1 hour of running and hitting a ball), so I'm really sleepy right now. I just lost the game.

Its All Good

Today I found out that the place that does the retail course I'm on also does drivers licenses FREE, that right, I'm going to get my license FREE, including driver instructing, YAY for Academy New Zealand.

I also got a Metrocard (cheaper bus fares)

and my dad took his computer to a computer company, they then made my dads computer work on broadband (they took the modem out)

Later,

This time

Im still feeling lazy, so im only gonna say the basics...
I started a retail and sales course, turns out my tutor is one of my friends uncles.
I drew (or possibly won) my hockey game today.
I left my keys in my friends bag, which will make getting into my house tomorrow difficult
and I still havnt had dinner.

and now, for the sake of food, i shall leave all you blog fanatics to your blog fanaticing (that almost seems like a word).

hmmmm

I was going to put a post here about my day, but a sudden burst of laziness hit me

Yours Sincerely

I Conquered It All

As I said in my last post, all this computer related stuff wasn't working, well... I CONQUERED IT ALL. I have wireless broadband (I accidentally left an 'a' out of the username) , my dads computer is running at normal speed (I took out the network card, probably gonna replace it with another one). I still hate computers.

I'm gonna be training another sound guy on how to use the church equipment later today, YAY, someone else to do my dirty work, its about time I got a break, I've been the only regular sound guy at my church for over a year now, we have other sound guys, but they either play guitars in the church band or they don't like doing it, so having another willing sound guy is a very good feeling and I'm looking forward to getting away from the sound desk for a while.

Anyway, since I'm getting up early to train this guy later, I should probably get to bed.
Goodnight

Inspiration and Frustration

Reading my friends blogs (which can be found here and here) has inspired me to update my own, so this time its not taking me multiple months to update, only multiple days... So here I go...

Oh the frustration, the frustration of my wireless broadband not working, the frustration of the network card I put in my dads computer making the whole system run at an incredibly slow speed. I maintain that I hate computers... I only spend most of my waking hours on one, Windows PC's are the worst, which is why I've resorted to getting a Mac (if I was a hardcore computer nerd I would get Linux, if I was an incredibly hardcore computer nerd I could name all the different versions of Linux, if I was Uber-ComputerNerdMan I could also name the difference between each version of Linux, windows, Mac, and even Unix).

Anyway, one of my favourite bands might be coming to my little country later this year, so my plan is to go see them, even if they are on a completely different island. So far 4 others have expressed interest in going... ROAD TRIP... Probably not, none of us have (or will have) full licences. Hitchhiking? hmmmm 5 people hitchhiking together to a different island, that'll work. Train/ferry? Do you have the money, coz I don't. Flying? Seems probable, although not as fun as the rest of the things I just said.
