the howie

With that title you may think I’m about to talk abut the latest scandal involving a politician and a nightclub, but I’m not.

 Jenny and I are both anal when it comes to filing of DVD’s and CD’s.

For me this is not a new thing that is a result of being married.

When I lived with Tom and his family Tom and I used to regularly spend time arranging the household CD’s into alphabetical order,  After a while Tom’s mum even went and purchased special CD drawers to aid the tidy and appropriate storage of music.

The system worked well, It was always a cinch to find the CD you where looking fo, well I say always actually it wasn’t always so easy. Sometimes people who where not trained or people who had issues with the authoritarian natures of the CD placement would come and visit. Mainly Gem and Mil.

After the above named had visited it was then the task of myself and Tom to search through the carnage and rearrange into the appropriate and acceptable order. Until we discovered that after these visits this was not the only abomination, not only where CD’s out of order but CD’s where not in their respective case. So if I was searching for powderfinger internationalis, I would find the case and open it only to discover Luke Vasella instead.

They where traumatic times.

Now several years later I married a lady that shares my passion for alphabetised bliss.

Tonight we embarked a new journey together,  We not only have our DVD’s in order but we now have them in 4 different categories too.

The categories are

1. Films
2. TV Shows
3. Stand Up
4. Music

It was a special time we shared together tonight.

need i say more?

Well as you know wife and I have been asked to move out of our house at the end of June.

And it just so happens that in the same week we have been asked if we would take up a new job.

So at the end of June, Jenny and I will be moving to Armidale to take over from my parents in their picture framing business, we will be the business owners and are looking at ways of expanding the business to help local young people with employment oppertunities. We will also begin producing fair trade clothing.

It’s a big call but we think its right.

Its probably a shock to a lot of you, but due to some current circumstances a change of pace is what we need. don’t worry Armidale isnt that far away!

happy birthday wife

Tomorrow is a special day.

It is 10 years ago that I started collecting train tickets.

I know its very nerdy but i love my train ticket collection, there is about 600 tickets and the anoying thing is that about 80% of my tickets get eaten by machines so if i got to keep all my tickets i would have thousands of the little fellas.

anyway to mark this special occasion i’m having a competition.

The first person to answer this question correctly wins a photo of me at a cityrail train station of your choice.

If you are catching a train from central along the north shore to hornsby what platform will your train leave from?

What a fun day it was, I love events like this where you get to walk in the middle of roads and there is, cones and temperary fencing and marchels and tv cameras and big PA systems and lots of happy people.
