May 12 2010... My bad for not updating sooner.



Wow so time kind of got away on me...

What's new? Hmmm... Where do I start?

Employment:
Well I can't remember if I told you but I left the steakhouse (cunts) and now i'm a manager at a coffee store earning more than I did at Ogilvy. It's pretty weird, over here people make a big deal if you can make patterns in coffee, i've had people take photos of my coffee, ask what days i'm working so they can bring their friends, ask to sign their chests, throw bras and panties at me. All this over coffee... What else is cool is I have my locals that come in a couple of times a day. They are ( Not in order of popularity):

Larry: The 60 something year-old bus driver. He keeps shit real and wants to get on the piss sometime. HEZ MY FREN!

Shaun: Shaun is the local homeless man who has major beef with one park warden. He lives in the hills and is a cherry dude in his 40s. Always has a story, normally when you don't want to hear one. He's extremely well spoken and has been clean for 8 years. He doesn't smell too bad for a homeless chap.

Derek: The security guard up at the Fairmont Hotel, for a man of his size he's a bit of a softy, don't really know to much about him except he lives a pretty simple life.

Scott: He is one of those dudes who knows way to much shit about everything. Sarcastic as hell and works at the museum. He's also the union leader for parks canada. I'm not sure how much work he really does because he sits around at the cafe for a couple of hours every day. He's cool though, he buys coffee for everyone.

Banjo Guy: As his name suggests this dude just plays the banjo. He's the busker who I have never seen not smiling. He plays a banjo in a poncho and is a happy chap. Pays for everything in coins which is annoying when I'm busy.

Snowboarding:
Well it was 23 degrees one week and minus something the next snowing like it was going out of fashion. I loved it and had some of the best days riding of my life, words can not describe how epic they were. If only Muz was there to shred em.

Other shit:
Check out the photos. We went dog sledding which was pretty fucking cool!

This place is pretty amazing. Sure NZ has some amazing scenery but here everything is so epic and gigantic.


Husky puppies


Me patting husky puppy


Cool dog named Tango


Think this dog was called Mordor.


So they roll around in the snow to lower their body temp.



This dog was called Whisky, she was my friend. They mainly use female dogs for sledding as apparently they listen better.


Whisky liked Annabel too.


More dogs

So thee dogs are all business when they are in their harnesses. I was pretty skeptical about whether they actually enjoyed pulling people around but they actually did, they moan and cry if they don't get to work.


The scenery isn't to shabby around here, we sledded across a thawing lake.

I want to up load some more photos but blogspot wont let me. Dicks.
