Gussy’s Blog

I have been reading this blog alot recently. It is a good read and i am recommending it cause, well he seems to have his head on straight.

It has been over 4 since i started this Blog. Holy cow, it has been 4 WHOLE YEARS! That is a long time. I can’t really believe it has been that long, and in that whole time. I haven’t done 1 site redesign, that’s right i still have the same header, might be time for a new one. Something fresh and nice and lovely. Something summery all year round. Mmmm, where did i put my Photoshop CS3 for Mac?

I have just been going thru my old bookmarks from years ago, finding sites that are dead, ones that aren’t updated any more and ones that still rock my world.

I love this one and this one. This one is good too.

Happy browsing.

I was browsing the net (looking for a new lense for my camera, 12-24mm f4 Nikon) and read about Ken Rockwell’s thoughts on saving money. Thought some of them are quite good. I am thinking of ditching some of the Credit cards and closing some accounts, to save money. I really don’t like being in debt. So i am trying to get out of it. Starting with my folks. They are in a crunch as well, with Dad not able to work full time and payments from the Government getting cut off etc. Maybe they should start a veggie garden in the front?? (Oh shit, why did i write that mum will do it!) That would save them lots. hehe, But Chickens in the backyard with a excited 2yr old black lab/collie is a BAD IDEA!

I’m not doing to badly with money at the moment. I have 2 full time jobs, so that is giving me lots of money with little time to spend it. I have been doing 14hr days for the last 2 weeks, with weekends off.  I haven’t been following Ken’s ideas about no caffeine! It has sucked but at the same time i have enjoyed i. Working with people sort of has helped to make it more fun. (I work in a Beer store, so that keeps me on my toes. Filling fridges etc ) Knowing that im saving money for going home, and hopefully paying off debt! I am well on the way to reaching my goal for my trip at the end of the year. If i keep on it all summer, i will be set! Then i can start on the Line of Credit. Once that is paid off i need to save for my citizenship! I think i will always have 2 jobs of sorts. It makes sense to use the time your not able to do anything else earning money. I’m not saying to give up having friends and fun.  Some thing that is 3-4 nights a week would be awesome. Still gives you time to have fun and enjoy life.  I have told  Second work that i need at least 1 full day off work, so i can recharge a bit and do things around the house. Like laundry, thou i do have a 1/2 wife in the house that would do it for me. lol NOT! Climb, haven’t done that in a while. Should be able to get out when i get a night off and do it seeing that it stays light till around 10pm most nights and getting later! Woohoo!!

So yes, save your money, and don’t spend it. LOL

Well things are going quitely on the ranch. just chilln’ and taking it easy really. Not much going on. Reading and drinking and sleeping mainly. 

 Found out that Fedex have lost my computer and that they don’t know where it is. So they are looking for it and trying to track it down. Lets see if the find it, cause i really need it to start my course and to do some work on. I don’t really have a computer at home so that makes it a bit tough. Other than that everything is going hunky dory.

So i just ordered my new 15″ Macbook Pro with Applecare and Apple Technician training. I am sooooooo excited about this. Luckily i can put it on my line of credit and pay it off over the summer. I am jumping around and can’t wait to have it in my hands. I now need to get some accessories for it. Case etc.

If you could see me i would be jumping around the room like a little girl clapping her hands, but your not so you can’t. If you are around me, ask for a demonstration. I’m more than willing to demonstrate. Afterall my GF is 3.5yrs old, almost 4.

Yay!!!

Just wanted to post something short and fun.

This film won the first Annual Golden Film Festival. It is funny and i know both the shooter and deer. Check it out.

Hey all,

It was pointed out that my site was giving nice 404 errors. I ran out of time to check it but have checked it and fixed it. Not sure if it was the .htaccess files being stupid. But that is the only file i changed the permissions on, and added a line of code to it. SO you may now comment away to your hearts content, oh and if you want to go back please do, there is some good stuff in the past too. Almost at 4 years blogging.

Well lots has been going on recently. Well in Golden Terms, it has. Things don’t move to fast over here but some how i have been really busy. I went getting my fill of cultural goodies over the last week. I went to the golden Broadway musical. It was really fun, with various songs from different musicals being sung. I knew about 1/2 the cast so it made it even more fun. I then went out after and had some fun listening to a beatboxer, then proceeded to go and stay up for 24hrs and chat with some friends watching various clips from Youtube. It was quite the night. I was buggered after though and slept for a full 5 hours! Awesome.

The next night i didnt do much but i did manage to go for a 20-ish km run. I just mapped out out. i didn’t think it was that far. It didnt take me long either. only around 1.5hrs. Im very surprised. Anyhow i’ll link to the map so you can see.

So there it is .

Then on Monday night, i went to the ballet. It was really good. The chicks were hot, the dudes were really strong. And it had a bit of everything. I would go again and plan to as well. It was a production from Ballet Kewlona. It was good fun with the Hudson’s. I wasn’t planing on going but did cause i had nothing else to do.

So that is my summary of weekend, quite fun and exciting.

Woot Woot! Welcome Zachary David Smith to the wide world!! Congrats to Dave and Shell.

Hopefully my pressies make it there soon! Grr for the postal services of Canada and Australia.

I found out about 30 mins ago. I can’t stop smiling. Hopefully i will get photos soon, then it will be totally surreal. I can’t remember the exact details, of how long and how much he weights, but hey i’m an uncle. Fuck Yeah!
