howie’s halfpipe

I took these photos on saturday during a crate stacking activity

enough said.

just arrived home,

good to be home i tell ya what!

Yesterday i was thinking about things i should blog about my time in rockhampton but now i cant remember what they where, humph!

The following was found in a church bulletin, christians really need to find better ways of doing PR

WHY JESUS IS BETTER THAN SANTA

Santa lives in the North Pole - JESUS is everywhere

Santa rides in a sleigh - JESUS rides on the wind and walks on the water

Santa comes once a year - JESUS is an ever-present help

Santa fills your stocking with goodies - JESUS supplies all your needs

Santa come down your chimney uninvited - JESUS stands at your door and knocks, and then he enters your heart when invited

You have to wait in line to see Santa - JESUS is as close as the mention of his name

Santa lets you sit on his lap - JESUS lets you rest in his arms

Santa doesn’t know your name, all he can say is “Hii little boy (or girl) what’s your name?” - JESUS knew our name before we did. Not only does he know our name, He knows our address too. He knows our history and future and he even knows how many hairs are on our heads

Santa has a belly like a bowl of jelly - JESUS has a heart full of love

All Santa can offer is HO HO HO - JESUS offers help, hope and heaven

Santa says “you better not cry” - JESUS says “cast all your cares on me for i care for you”

Santa’s little helpers make toys - JESUS makes new life, mends wounded hearts, repairs broken homes and builds mansions

Santa is a ‘jolly old elf’ - JESUS is the king of kings

Santa may make you chuckle but - JESUS gives you joy that is your strength

While Santa puts gifts under your tree - JESUS became our gift and died on a tree

I’m alive, about to leave rocky for the long drive back to brisbane, its been a ful on week, not much sleep, lots of hard work but also a lot of fun.

not a lot of internet in rocky though is there.

such a strange town, there is statutes of bulls everywhere.

today was a long day nad it seemed to be filled with stessful technical glitches putting me under a bit of pressure to resolve them.

good thing i came equal first in NSW for media studies.

tomorrow i’m of on a plane to QLD, hopefuly i’ll find some time to work on shirts off summer.

but i dont think we’ll have much time off.

Well tommorw we have a big day at work, 7:45am Until about 9pm

then sunday morning myself, jenny and justine fly to brisbane, then spend the rest of the day in a car traveling up to Rockhampton where we will be until the following sunday, running festivals in rocky each day then on the monday we fly back home then its a few days of work then christmas at our house, then boxing day up to armidale then back for new years at the hill. boy oh boy.

Last night I went with several peoples to watch Casino Royale, I have been looking forward to this film for some time now, I love a good bond film. I know that many people think he’s sleezy and the films are just full of sex and guns.

Well bond is so much more than that, hes smooth and smart, he gets to play with cool gadgets and go on secret missions in excotic places, defeating evil and making the world a safe place, He is a superhere but instead of tight brightly coloured costuimes he is a super here in a tux.

Casino Royale was a good adition to the bond institution, much better than di another day with its stupid invisible car. Daniel Craig makes an awsome bond i look forward to more bonds with him. This film did howevber seem to have a lot less action that previous bond films, no dramtic car chases with bond shooting missiles from his dashboard or anything, no litte gadgets in his pocket turning his watch into a detinator or anything. So on that front it was a little dissapointing there wasnt even any Q, bond didnt get to given his gadgets before he embarkes on his mission.

There was however a crazy ugandan man he did some kick but moves on top of a crane with bond.

I give this bond a 5/7

go see it, enjoy it, then buy it on dvd!

my .mac site is now up, not really anything up there yet except bono and edge playing with pearl jam video.

Last night I went to a local business awards night, I’m noot really sure why I said yes to going, i didnt know anyone, i’m not good at starting conversations with people i dont know. Anyway it was an interesting experience lots of business people getting awards then trying to sell their business in a short acceptance speech. The night had some quality powerpoint displays.

We didint win the award we where nominated for!

towards the end of the evening i started feeling quite ill, you know sudden cold sweats, sore stomach, it all resulted in me making a rather fast b-line to the bathrom where all hell broke out in the bowl. And then again when i got home.

today i woke up quite sore on my insides and some discomfort, so far no more expolisons,.

Arnt you all excited that you got to read that?

the current test match in Adelaide was turning out to be quite a dull matchm lloking certain to end in a draw. but boy oh boy today we have a competition on our hands, well done boys!

A report done by some goverment thingy has recommended that Australia and New Zealand become one country.

that the Australian government should approach the New Zealand government and create a common leagal system, common currency etc.

quite funny, I dont think many new zeleanders would approve, although maybe helen clark could be our Pm.
