It seems that “that” time of the year is coming around again, not Christmas, Thanksgiving, Easter or any other world Holiday. My Birthday (it should be a world holiday!), I’m going to be turning the “ripe” young age of 28.

Many years ago, when i was much younger (early 20’s). I heard that the Government of Australia was implementing Digital TV, starting in 2008 (now moved back to 2012, i think) i thought to myself. Mmm, i want to be in a long term or married relationship by that time. Well thinks aren’t exactly where i planned them. Sure I’m in a semi-long term relationship (sort of at 1 yr and counting). Things are looking up on the relationship front. So i know it’s not all bad, it is just a realisation that things don’t always work out the way that you want them too.

I am in no way unhappy with how things have happened. In fact despite all that has been thrown at me, I’m loving life and the people around me. Eagerly awaiting what is going to happen next im my path in life.

So with this in mind, i look forward to the many more years ahead of me! Love, life and all the good things in between!

Here is my shopping list of things i want also for my Birthday (in less than a Month!). I know they are exotic and suit me to a tee!

iPod Touch

Tokina f/2.8 11-16mm (which i might get in a week or so!)

That is it. No more.

It is has been quite the boring and uneventful week. Nothing so far has gone on. 1 thing that has occured is i went for a hike on Sunday. It was awesome fun, i will have to post some photos on Flickr some time soon. Once i get them off the camera. I went with Heather, up to Emerald Lake. It is an amazing lake, just like you would expect on a postcard. It is only around a 40min drive from my house too. Hehe, i love where i live. We then started the walk around the side of the lake, and ended up taking the walk upto the Emerald Basin, that is where there are large mountains, and coulairs etc. It really was nice, long way up too. We were estimating that we gained loads of elevation in our short walk. Around 200ft we think, maybe more. The pics tell a better story.

Heather and I had some good talks, just about random crap, and catching up. Something we hadn’t done in a long time. Both of us were quite busy over summer. Good thing i enjoy her company as a friend, cause i am going travelling with her around the world. Only 53 days till we leave!!! Woot!

The total hike took around 5hrs which isnt to bad, seeing that we had lunch and a look around, stopped to pick rasberries. We did only meet 1 other group of ppl on our trip up the mountain side. So cool. They had a dinner bell on, aka bear bell. We didn’t take any bear spray with us, maybe i should get some. I just think that if the bear is there, and wants to eat us. Nothing will stop him. So far i haven’t even been close to a bear. I make noise as i go along, so that should give them fair warning that im coming.

So that is my update for the last little while.

So i i wasn’t born to my mum, and i was born to Sarah Palin, my name would be:

Meat Notgay Palin.

Yup, weird and very Alaskan!

I follow lots of blogs online and in thru RSS feeds, one i like related to Macs is Macenstein. Whilst visiting the site i came upon this article. It is intersting to see the comments, and how they are not all “oh dang! She is fine” More over they are “Wow, only with a light off” or “Give me a real woman” and my fav, “Don’t put near heat source”. You can read these for yourself thought.

It just struck me as something awesome. People are fed the “perfect” image of what a woman or man looks like, but the majority of people on this site are revolting against said image. Awesome. So basically, im asking has the image of a perfect woman/man gone to far? Are we now seeing “prefection” and going, nope, don’t like it, give me some real woman/man with imperfections? What will all the people that have paid $11000000 do with there fake boobs and lips and other body parts? Do they have to go back to being ugly? Course not, they can be there to look at and turn against. lol. Thoughts?

Well i may say i had a great weekend in Calgary. One of one 2 such occasions. Bike polo was the reason this time. It was the most fun i have had on 2 wheels in a long time. OMG, if you own a bike this is next thing you need to try. If you don’t then you need to try it. It is the best thing on 2 wheels!!!!

So if you dont know what bike polo is, search it on Youtube, and you will find something. The centre of the bike polo universe is well, anywhere you damn well want. check out Bikepolo.ca for links to other groups of people that are into it as much as you should be!

So the tournament as a double elimination type game. Meaning that you needed to lose 2 times before you were out of the comp. 3 on 3. body on body, mallet on mallet, bike on bike. Drop a foot and you have to tape out at centre. On a hockey court it is quite a large amount of time to do that. Those guys in calgary know how to move a bike around the court, geez they can move. I was skidding around the place trying to stop the ball.

Got in there a few times, need to work on my accuracy though. I missed a few easy shots, which could have put us up a few goals. Meaning that we could have had some more games, oh well. accuracy will come later on.

I am really happy that bike polo is around. It is soo much fun, i just wish that everyone else could experience it. If your in Golden, come out to the BBall courts on Sundays and Wednesdays.

I live on the top of a mountain with wild rock!

I just thought of a statement or saying that i like. You can say it to your girlfriend, wife, lady friend or anyone that you love. It is…

More to hold. More to squeeze. More to love.
