Corporate America

Surely you don’t hate me? Would one hate their partner if he/she did not speak to them for a week? Surely not. Upset, maybe. So then, we are friends yet again, yes? I do apologize for my absence. I trust you have been well since my departure and things have gone accordingly. I am working in the heart of corporate California now. Yes, the capital of the most populous state in the United States, sporting a population almost twice that of Australia in its entirety, my previous life stop. So you must excuse me, for I am a city boy, infusing chic corporate style with a savvy contribution to the California development and investment empire. You may not like it now, but you will. I am the present, the future and all things desired, sex personified. You want me but will never have me. Welcome to the big leagues.

more to come soon people. Iv been super busy. ill have you all in the know next week.

Have a great weekend!

Pistol Toting Poster Child

Some funny things iv heard this week.

Black friend: So, this Rachel chick I was telling you abo…
Hispanic friend: Rachel?
BF: Yeah? Rachel.
HF: ok…
BF: Yeah, well, she was all up over me last night dawg. I got her number and ima call her tonight
HF: dawg, I don’t mean you no harm or nuttin but that girl is a poster child for abortions
Me: *spits drink out*


On a less brighter note: I was challenged to a water pistol fight at dawn. Wish me luck.

inland Cali

Living inland in California makes tanning a little more difficult then what most people would think being a Californian and tanning would entail. We don’t have pristine beach’s closer than 2 hours away, we don’t have noisy pelicans waking us up at 5am instead of roosters and there aren’t guys walking in thongs (flipflops) with surfboards under their arms.

What we do have here in inland California is lakes. Lots of lakes with few beaches. It’s just not the same to sit on a beach with motionless water and it certainly isn’t the same to swim in water where you know there is no chance to be eaten by a great white shark. I mean, where’s the fun in that? We all need some excitement and if I need to find some water with festering, hungry sharks to get my kicks then that’s what im going to do.

The biggest problem I have with inland Cali is there is nowhere to tan. I don’t have a pool. My neighbour who is often out of state doesn’t have a pool. Lakes are boring to tan by – atleast at a beach you could at any time see some surfer dude eaten by a festering, hungry shark and im certainly not going to open the window of my bathroom and sit in the bathtub for an hour.

This brings me to the solarium. These things are everywhere! California is being overtaken my sun centre’s and there isn’t a damn thing we can do about it. This is how us inland folk roll. We don’t pack our towel, sunscreen, hat and radio. Hell, we bring our eye goggles, tanning lotion and face towel to our local tan centre and climb our happy asses into those uncomfortable burning beds.

This is where I have issue with our cancer inducing ways. Surely there is a better way to colour ourselves then lay in a plastic bed full of bright bulbs, and if not, can’t we make this non permanent colour change more permanent?

I walk through the doors of my tanning centre, pay the $20 per month for membership, pay an extra $39 for 250 credits so I can use the upgrade beds and only then is it time to enter the tiny rooms decorated with beautiful women with killer tans. I do this 3 times a week god damnit!

They always have young girls working at the counter, also with killer tans, always showing some sort of cleavage. They always offer to give you a deal on new cream, I always decline stating “I don’t use cream; it takes way to long to grease myself up with that stuff with minimal results”.

Once past the prancing staff they stuff you into a room the size of Paris Hiltons jail cell and lock you in where you have to get naked and lay down for 12-15 minutes having warm air blown into things you’d rather not have. After it’s all said and done you walk out of there with hair scrunched, a red face and a big smile to go with it looking like you’ve just whacked off.

I don’t know, maybe the whole tanning thing seems so unnatural without white sand, bikini’s and sparkling water close by. I think next time ill bring a bottle water in and splash it around and bring my beach towel to dry off for shits and giggles. That outta make the experience a little more enjoyable.

Miss Brazil..

...Should have won the Miss Universe competition last night. Very dissapointed!

Hot, hot, hot!

Memorial Weekend

Being a huge Sacramento Kings fan my whole life I always pictured myself being broadcoast across the jumbotron in Arco Arena for every one to see and cheer. So I was a little sad to see Louie do it before me. She did have a pretty damn good reason for doing so. Louie Graduated Friday with a degree in Liberal Studies from Sacramento State. Congratulations!






I dont know who this is but her nachos looked good.


Huwie, dewie and louie at the graduation party (louie in middle).



Louie and I went to Bodega Bay yesterday for Memorial day. It was beautiful out there and alot of people had the same idea. Their salt water taffy is delicious!

There were alot of field mice

My car is the one teetering on the edge (no pun intended) about to fall off. The Black SUV, Ford Edge

Our amazing sand castle complete with underground passage and seaweed flag.

I also went bowling for the first time in forever Saturday night and won 60 bucks. Louie's friend seemed to think she was *insert good bowler here* so I told her bad I was resulting in her wanting to bet. I pretty much hussled her. I hope she doesnt read this!

Weddings and birthdays o'my!

Congratulations Winberry's!

Happy Birthday Danielle!

As you can see im too lazy to write anything so I posted some pictures instead.

Big week at work so I shant be writing much I dont think for a week or so but I will try.

Weekend #0702

I had a really great weekend. Work has been quite stressful lately, not because of the workload but more of other issues that are going on so it was a great couple of days to (try) not think about anything but relaxing.

Friday night Louie and I went to Zocolo's for dinner. It's an upscale mexican infused with mediterranean style menu. The ambience was beautiful and the overall vibe of mid-town is full of energy. There are people walking in every direction, cars hussling through stop signs and the old style homes of the area full of people wanting to be part of the action.

I didnt get as many pictures as I would have liked. I hate looking like the tourist so I try and take as few as possible. Having an accent is enough to make myself look touristy so I try to steer clear of 'happy shooting' and wearing anything that says Australia on it.

This is walking towards our restuarant in mid-town about 7:30pm

Not exactly sure why this makes me laugh. Doesnt really belong does it? Seems like this guy has his life belongings in that truck. You can see the interesting houses of midtown too.

Sunday I went wakeboarding with a buddy who basically taught me everything I needed to know when I moved here. If not for him I would still be wondering where to get my drivers license and social securities number.

Claude just had a baby (his wife atleast) boy about 6 months ago so he and his wife were excited to get out on the boat.

oooh yeah! My first time up on a wakeboard. Last summer I attempted many times to get up to no avail. This summer, with 6 months of snowboarding under my belt, I got up straight away. In fairness, I did get on a few weeks ago but only very shortly. I have a video of it which I will try and post on youtube.

This is a duck I was feeding pringles to. Apparently I made it sick because the stuff contained in Pringles apparently makes you ooze oil from your arse so we quickly drove away from Mr. Duck in hopes that his oily arse didnt contaminate our wakeboarding water area. I hope he's ok, I only meant to feed him.

This weekend im taking friday off to see one my work mates get married at Lake Tahoe. Its so picturesque up there and a great place to tie the knot. Im looking forward to delicious wedding food and watching all the women cry over a celebration, go figure.

Let's blow this pop stand!

Im sitting at work wishing I was somewhere far away on a tropical island or maybe soaking in the history of a 1000 year old temple. Where ever I am im not at work. So anyway, it got me thinking of where iv been and where I want to go next. Ever since I started traveling some 6 years ago I have had the travel bug ever since. Here is a list of my have’s and have not’s but want to’s and want to go back's

Countries iv been to:

Australia – Brisbane, Perth, Sydney, Melbourne, Mackey, Townsville, Barrier Reef, Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast, Canberra
USA – All through CA, Vegas, Albuquerque, Chicago, New York, Miami, Minneapolis, Hawaii, Phoenix, Scottsdale
Canada -Toronto
United Kingdom – All through England
France - Paris
Switzerland - Zurich
Germany – Munich, Berlin
Italy – Rome
Greece – Athens, Island of Santorini
Netherlands - Amsterdam
Hong Kong – Hong Kong
Thailand - Bangkok
Japan - Tokyo

Countries I want to go to:

Egypt - history
Brazil – always wanted to go
Argentina – always wanted to go
Portugal – love spanish culture
Spain – Madrid, Barcelona. Love spanish culture
Sweden – always wanted to go
Israel – different culture shock
China – Beijing. Again, culture shock
Cuba – because its bad
Mexico – many places
New Zealand – Snow boarding
Uganda – See World vision child
Bahamas – beach’s

There is nothing more exiting then engrossing oneself into a culture unknown, a terrain unexplored and an adventure beyond your wildest dreams. Traveling is a sickness that has no cure and symptoms that last a lifetime. This is one bug you’ll never want to treat because it breathes life into an otherwise mundane daily life. The sun will shine, the birds will song, where do you want to experience it?

Cinco De Mayo Weekend

Saturday was Cinco de Mayo so I went to a margarita party with some of my work peep's and lost my money on that loser De la Hoya, damn him.

This is where the magic happened - The Bar

Louie & I

That night after I got over my lost money on 'the loser' louie captured me and Mijo

Yesterday Louie & I went downtown to Old Sac. The weather was great and the food delicious!

This was last night. Mijo was hating life! He does this funny thing where he'll go all crazy after we dry him. He runs around like a chickin with no head while Gringo looks on baffled.

dot.point.

• 
  The weather is crazy here. Over the weekend it was 85-90 degrees. Yesterday it was 65 and raining. Today it’s 77 and sunny. I don’t get it. Global warming is really messing things up around town so turn your lights off when idle, recycle (Americans need to recycle more. I can’t believe there are no recycling bins here), car pool, plant a tree/plant and change your light bulbs to those funny lookin ones.
  
• If anyone knows how I add people to my blog as ‘blogs I read’ please let me know. For some reason I just cant figure it out.
  
• Very disappointed in Mr. Bush’s vetoing. That asshole is one mistake away from burning his house down. And that little grin he does when talking about how our soldiers are dying is disrespectful. If I could, id wipe that shit eating grin right off and send his ass to Iraq. Then we’ll see how quick he pulls us out.
  
• I went to a bikram yoga class (hot yoga) the other night. Holy mother of Christ! I would have dead set lost about 3-4 pounds (1.5kg’s) of body weight just in the sweat I lost. It was amazing! Loved it! Probably won’t do it again for a while though. I’m thinking once a month. Probably the best workout iv done in years.
  
• Hopefully im going to Hollywood next week to see The Cat Empire play at the Key Club. Haven’t seen them play in about a year and can’t even wait to!
  
• I got a new car over the weekend. Exciting? Yes! I know. 2007 Ford edge, black, fully loaded. Love it. Only dilemma is choosing what to drive; the bike or the car.
  
• I have been changing the address where a lot of my mail is being sent and yesterday I had received some mail to the old address saying “Dear Neil. This is a notification that a change of address has been processed. Thankyou”. Umm, well, why are you still sending mail to the old address then, dickheads!?
  
• I am by no means an American Idol fan nor am I a closet Idol fan but I did see Blake Lewis the other night and since I dabble in spinning and mixing records when I can this piece impressed me so. Check it out

Spring

is here

Happy Holidays!

I think I am suffering from ‘I wish I was still on holidays lying on a beach and not at work sitting at a desk’ syndrome. Not only do I lack the basic ambition to get out of bed for work in the morning but also the motivation to write about my trip back to Oz for it will be so so long and I am so so lazy. I will try my darndest (way to American for me) to encapsulate something worth reading for you all.

Note: To make this post look longer I will strategically insert pictures for viewing. Remember – A picture tells a thousand words so this post could well be nearing 5-10 thousand words in length. Woooaaah!! Yes, thank you!

Hmmm…

This first picture was supposed to be classical. You know, an intriguing piece of mastery where you see me in the rear view mirror and my friend Dave*, however, it failed quite miserably thanks to his girlfriend Bec** who suggested such a preposterous idea.

This is the famous ‘loo with a view’ I have mentioned in prior posts. The view is beautiful and the people warm and friendly. It was a delightful 28C/87F. To the right of the picture is the loo. Btw – I have no idea how I managed to capture probably the only 4 people on the Queensland coast who thought it was a good idea to wear a suit to the beach. Anyhoo…

White sand and blue oceans is what it’s all about. Oh, and I promise I wasn’t taking a picture of that topless girl. Although that certainly was one of the beaches perks^.

Delectable desserts are always a fan fav! My friends who had me over for dinner that night know of my notorious sweet tooth and knew no matter what the night would bring, it would be A-OKAY if there was chocolate involved. They get an A+ for hospitality. Anything with chocolate involved will have me begging for more! Note to ladies: Anything with chocolate involved is going to get you in. Give me an m&m and im yours.

The Valley Markets are a great place to be after a rather big night out on the drink and you would like something, anything to get you out of the house the next day. There are lots of trinkets, clothes, jewelry, old vinyl’s and random stuff to buy. This is also the location of many a good nights out as once the sun goes down this place turns in to a melting pot of artsy, fartsy piss heads and non-prescription drug users.

This is my friend Sam*** who I would show but I think its better left that we don’t. Basically, if you take away the bag she pretty much looks like what the bag has drawn on it^^

I played putt-putt (miniature golf) with the couple who cooked me dinner with the fondue ( I have more then 2 friends, believe it or not) and at the 16th hole they have this for the golfers who arnt doing as good as they had hoped. I thought it was pretty stupid. They should have one at every hole.

So there you have it. I have some phrases those cuddly lil aussies fart out of their mouths which I shall post later in thy week. Stay tuned..

*This is his real name
** so is this
^ No pun intended
*** Real name
^^ Sorry Sam

patience

I kiss my family goodbye. I turn around. There it is. Looking at the very Gate I stood before only 15 months ago. This time I know where im going. What im going back to. Who is there and what ill be doing. Strangely familiar. Bubbling to see Louie and the boys. There is a sense of relief to be going home. How peculiar to say when this was home, now a holiday destination. Odd return home. But I am going home too. Was I home or am I going home? Surreal reversal. Two homes. One residence. Yearning for stability. Hoping for change. What next? Changing tides bring different circumstances. More paths. More decisions. Pick a path. Pick a destiny. Open your eyes. Look up. See yourself. Its all there. decisions.

Hi!

Im back folks! Yes I know, I did not write a single post during my stay down under and for that I am sorry. I will post pics and share my traveling diaries with you when I get some time.

Ready....set....GO!

Today is my last day at work before I make the long and arduous trip back to Brisbane. I have ahead of me a 1 ½ hour drive to San Francisco, 12 hour flight to Sydney and then a 1 ½ hour flight to Brisbane.

Hopefully I can get some sleep on the flight over (With the amount of sleeping pills I have packed I hope they wake me before they land!).

I love traveling from country to country and meeting new people. In an airport you could be meeting someone from anywhere in the world so I find it quite interesting and energizing to have people excited to talk to me about where im from or where they’re from.

Or plugging my Ipod in and ‘people watch’ for hours until my plane takes off. Seems very boring but I find it relaxing and a time to think about everything.

I need some time think.

I will endeavor to post throughout my stay in Australia so stay tuned, there will be some stories you will not want to miss come of this vacation.

Hollywood here I come?

Im thinking about moving. The bright lights and warm nights of LA are appealing to my inner senses. The urge to pack my bags, sell my house and make the road trip down there is becoming increasingly overwhelming.

There are a few things that stand in my way and its you who I choose to help me. If you so choose to accept my challenge I expect nothing other then an honest and fair opinion.

I have lived in Sacramento for about 14 months. I have a house with a dog and cat so its not going to be easy to just up and move (keep that in consideration). My house is fully furnished and I just bought a bike and a car. Work is great, kinda. See, the housing/real estate industry is very quiet right now and I am becoming bored with my position. I’ve never been one to stand around and wait for things to happen, I make them happen. Other then the fact that I have a pretty good job and the benefits could potentially be limitless due to me working for my cousins, I have options that most employees don’t, there really isn’t anything for me here in Sacramento.

Sacramento is a great city. I was born here some 25 years ago. I have some family here that I see, rarely, except for my grandparents and two cousins who I see often but other then that I don’t really know many people here, there’s not a great deal to do and overall im getting pretty bored. I guess the main thing is work is slow which is having a domino effect on the rest of my life.

North Hollywood, which is where I am planning to move if I do indeed blow this pop stand, is a great location. I know people down there, its close to the beach which I sorely miss, close to a lot of things to do and allows me to meet people more my own age and go out a little more.

Career wise it would be a hit. I probably wouldn’t be working in the same industry nor would I have anywhere near the benefits but I would/may be happier.

One option I would like to throw out there is to negotiate a deal with my cousins that would allow me to come back to my job in a couple of years when the industry picks up and spend those down years gaining experience in LA.

The grass is always greener. That damn philosophy gets me every time. This is one instance where the grass on the other side may be dead but I kinda wanna find out.

get a bike

There have been a lot of underhanded, sly, tricky and sarcastic comments related to and based solely on my decision to have a motorbike. Let me start by saying I think everyone should have a bike. Yep, I said it. You all should have a moped, crotch rocket, dirt bike or motorized scooter, anything that blows wind in your face. Why? Read on…

Remember when you were a kid and you would ride your bicycle or be swung around in the air by an uncle, parent or friend? How invigorating that was. It was such an adrenalin rush and then one day you can’t do it anymore. You’re too big to be swung around, your bicycle is too slow to really quench that rush and you’re stuck in the daily grind of everyday life.

You look for other things to quell the urge for adrenalin. Clubs, dates, surfing, movies, camping, sky diving and climbing. Some more dangerous then others. Some less rewarding too. Others far too often resulting in pushing the limits to exhaustion, injury or death but always searching for that elusive high.

I found my high in basketball, both played and watched. To this day there is nothing more rewarding then playing for a team and working towards a championship. The adrenalin pumping through is enough to satisfy any extreme sport fanatic but the older you get the less committed you and your teammates become. It’s harder to get to that place where you push for that life long rush.

I have spent years chasing the ultimate rush through sports, sky diving, traveling, fast cars, spending money, going to clubs, drugs and many other activities but nothing will ever give the ultimate high that im chasing. I’ve done some pretty spectacular things that have given me a rush I can’t describe but the ultimate is unattainable.

Wouldn’t it be incredible to have something that could give you an adrenalin rush at any time, whenever you wanted? When I know im going to ride my bike I get butterflies in my stomach, when im on my bike it gives a euphoric sense of being.

Find your youthfulness, get a bike

Aussie Invasion

It feels good to be back at work, kinda. Well not really, but it makes me feel like I enjoy work more when I try and convince myself that work is indeed a good place to be during the day when the weather is perfect outside. I try and rationalize things sometimes with bogus statements such as ‘id rather be educating myself at work then sitting in the sun watching beautiful women walk past in bikini’s’. Obviously, they have no ground to stand on. I pitifully digress.

Anyway, I say this because I have just come back from a long weekend with five friends who flew over from Australia to see me. All very impressive when you consider the flight time, money and bother so for these guys to be friends 6 though 10 to have visited me since moving here I am very lucky. For those who have not visited me yet I am very disappointed in you and for the few who TRULY should have been here by now, shame on you!

The boys kept me very entertained throughout the 5 days they were here (they didn’t just fly to Cali for 5 days; they also spent some time in Mexico and are currently in transit to Hong Kong) with old stories and random ramblings.

Things said that kept me laughing in fits:

* “I need to drop the kids off”, “The kids are knocking” – None of my friends have ‘Kids’ in the context that you and I would associate the word with. ‘Kids’ refers to, in this case, going to the bathroom and doing a number ‘2’. Somehow, somewhere along my many years spent in Australia I seemed to of missed this term. Dropping the kids off is Australian for ‘I need to take a shit’.

* “When you get to ‘The Park’ (nightclub) just talk really loud, the ladies will then form a circle around us. They can’t get enough of the accents” I said. Skywalker (who I shall name) then continued “oh mate, I just have to tell them im a dolphin trainer or kangaroo catcher or pro surfer and they’ll drop their pants”.

* We were driving back from San Francisco in our family van that we rented and were talking about sending cars back to Australia and how if you did, you would have to change the steering wheel to the other side of the car which would incur some costly fees.

One of our friends has lapses of intelligence sometimes so we thought we would run with this a little bit. “Mate, not only do you have to change the cars over but you have to change the motorbikes too. Its bloody ridiculous, you gotta swap the front tire with the back one, turn the single headlight upside down and swap handlebars over” I mischievously bantered.

Tabloids (who I shall name) was stirring over what we were discussing, obviously pondering the authenticity of it all but not sure enough to disagree. We then continued “Also, isn’t it stupid how when you change states in Australia you need to change currency from Queensland dollars to New South Wales dollars, its fuckin dumb don’t ya reckon Tabloids?”. He sat there for a few seconds and said “I don’t get it, what the fuck are you’s on about?”. We continued to tell him that to change states you must also change currency and I finally said “Tabloids, do you not think you have to change currency from state to state? And he followed up with the priceless line “Fuck mate, obviously!”.

* Also on the trip back from San Fran, Honkers (who I shall name) was tossing some numbers around his head for a while and finally came out with ‘iv been doing some thinking and I don’t think our flight leaves at 1pm tomorrow. It just doesn’t make sense if we are to land there at 6am”. Natedogg (who I shall name) who was in charge of organizing all flights, times and travel arrangements piped up with “oooh, now that you mention it, I did see 1am” what followed was a chorus of boos. Needless to say upon arrival they had to pack their bags and rush out the door for the drive BACK to San Francisco for a 1am flight to Hong Kong.

They spent two hours driving to San Francisco yesterday morning, two back to Sacramento in the afternoon, two again to Frisco and then a 14 hour flight and then the day they land there is a $250 lunch for them at a conference with free alcohol. I cant wait to hear how that goes!

* I took the boys to ‘Ruth Chris Steak House’ one of the finest establishments in the Sacramento Area. The first thing out of Tabloids mouth in front of our server was “I think my credit card is maxed out fellas, you’s wanna cover me”.

That was a snippet of the goings on of our long weekend. I think we all had an absoluate ball and I cant wait to do it again. Have fun in Hong Kong boys and I will see you all (except Honkers) in Australia in 8 days!
