Gussy’s Blog

Well a lot has been going on in the last few weeks. I got a job. I’m working for the government. It is a great job, great view of the river, pretty good pay, and talk about location. I’m in the second tallest building in the city, whooo!!! It is only a temp job, just to get me money, so i can save for Canada.

I have gone and come back from Melbourne. It was a fun trip with jess. We have decided on the location that were are going to be working in. We are going to kicking horse resort. It is situated in Golden, BC. So plan now, and you can come visit me! I’m going to be working on the lifts and Jess is going to be working at Guest services. I can’t wait, I’ve started looking at weather gear. Seeing as i have never seen snow fall, snow boarded, been on a lift, looked at powder, been on a snow board. I’m am looking forward to having a whale of a good time. We have started up a new travel blog, kickthehorse.com. I have just set it up on the new hosting (Thanks Claire) asmallorange.com. It is pretty good and cheap. SO if you need a little bit of hosting, let me know and we can work something out ;P.

Lets see what else happened. I broke up with Lauren.;( It was a hard thing to do. I don’t like seeing people upset. In the end we are still friends, and hopefully things can remain that way. I won’t go into details, cause, well this isn’t the place for that. I can say however that i did enjoy going out with her, and she is an awesome chick. The next guy that comes along will be a lucky man.

I managed to put my new camera on lay-by the other week, I’m sooo excited. I’m jumping around like a little girl over a just baked cup cake. It is going to be awesome fun to learn how to use. It is a Nikon D70s with 18-70mm lense.

Other than that, not much is going down. I’m working 6 days, and things are saving up nicely. I get stressed out to see if I’m going to be able to save up enough money. It is quite hard to relax at times. So all monetary gifts are welcome

Hope your all well, except for colds and the like.

Sorry for not writting sooner, i didn’t die honestly. You might have noticed that my site was down for a bit. I’m having to find a new host, as the guy that is hosting me can’t afford it anymore. So if you have some hosting you want to give away, pls email me.

I’m well, i will fill you all in on what has been happening over the last weeks another time, just wanted you to know im alive and well.

Well i’m in Melbourne. Guess what?, Its raining!! Hurray, now my socks are all wet and i knew that i brought the wrong shoes as soon as i packed my bags. Oh well, i just need to change them once i get back to the Backpackers. We flew over on ultimate cattle class, JetStar. It was fun to sit right at the back, at least we got to have no leg room, no way to put the seat back to sleep, and a toilet flushing behind my head all the way over. For 3 long and teadious hours, i tried to read but couldn’t it was a moving object, i can’t read in movng objects. Anyhow i am hoping that things get better, i have an interview with my old company this arvo about a job, and tomorrow i have interviews for a job in Canada. So things are look good.

One thing i didn’t realise was how much fashion there is over here, i like some of it, but i must say that most of the blokes look like tossers, and the chicks look, well ugly. I feel like im back in the 80’s that is the fashion over here at the moment. It sucks, i am proudly wearing my SQL tee. It is great, sure to get some interest from someone. That is all for now, im stealing the net from Jess’s old work, its fun.

Now i normally don’t put post up in Internet Explorer, mainly because i don’t like Microsoft or the software that they produce or the way they go around with there business. Im an open source kinda guy. So imagine my suprise when i login to Wordpress, and see a new little logo down the bottom of my pages. Yep, it is a Browse Happy icon. Basically it is a site designed by someone at Wordpress trying to get people to use other browsers. Awesome. Truely. Magnificient. What more can i say, but if you use IE for anything and have a choice, change. If you don’t have a choice ask your lovely Sys Admin person to put it in for you. You will not regret it. Firefox or anything else is much better, faster and complies more with the standards set down by the W3.
