This morning I woke up feeling pretty average. My nose was a bit runny and my head was all stuffed up. I thought to myself, I know this feeling, Bloody hayfever! I searched my medicine cabinet thingy but I had run out of the anti hayfever tablets that I normally take so I had to tough it out. I was pretty fine once I got going but I had this feeling that I was going to sneeze. This sneezey feeling lasted till 4pm this afternoon when I finally sneezed, all over my arm. It was lovely and I even contemplated taking a photo and posting it on this old blog.
It was 26 today so it was great to be outside. I didn't think much of the heat but it was enough for me to get sun burnt. Nothing bad I'm just a light shade of pink. I'm one of those people who can pass a bright light and get a bit of a burn. It sucks though because I never really seem to tan. I'm permanently pale. Damn should have called my blog that. Stupid potatoes.
Last night me and the girl watched Underworld and I have to say for a vampire movie it was pretty good. I fell asleep a few times cause I was rooted from work but I don't think I missed anything too important cause I liked it anyway.
Bye now.

My Something Year Old Friends
Its weird that when you have a group of friends, birthdays seem to gather around only a few months. Last night was Steves birthday, Thursday is Layno's birthday and mine is in a few weeks. Its weird but great at the same time because its a good excuse to go out. Last night we headed to the Ed for a few drinks for Steve and I stayed out way too late and I was so tired this morning. It was one of those mornings where 30 seconds more sleep sounded like a weeks vacation. Once I was up and about I was ok but I thought I was going to die for a little bit. Today was the usual really, nothing too exciting happened and not a very interesting job to take photos of so I guess you guys just have to put up with text. I'm going to have an early one tonight and head to bed soon so I guess that's it for a while guys. Bye now.
My Big 1000
Well today my counter says 1000. That is pretty cool. Its not accurate because I added it a month or two after I started posting on this crazy internet but it is still pretty damn cool. This is my 76 post so I'm looking forward to seeing the counter pass 2000. Thanks everyone who comes here and thank you to the people who comment. Talk later k. Bye now.

My Sunday Sunday
Well Sunday was The girl and I's 4 month anniversary. She bought me footy tickets as a present so we woke up Sunday and headed to AAMI Stadium for the game. The game was the Adelaide Crows Vs. Port Power. I go for the Crows but unfortunately we lost. I blamed The girl but she said she had nothing to do with it. Even though we lost it was a good game but we were unlucky because the Crows suffered some bad injuries. One players knee bent to the side and there was a head clash between a Port and Crow player which left the Crows player with a broken jaw and a lights out attitude.
After the game we headed home and relaxed for a bit. We started talking about how comfortable you can get with someone after only 4 months. We also talked about how our relationship didn't feel as new anymore and it was getting pretty smooth. It was at this point that I broke up with her and immediately asked her out again so that we were a new couple again. Technically today is our one day anniversary. I hope we make 4 months.
After our chat and we decided that we should definitely get Chinese food for tea. We headed down to the Precious Pearl which has to make the best Chinese food in the area and bought way too much food. We ate and ate and ate and then felt terrible. It took longer than we thought so we ended up late when we meet Calvin, Anouska, Helen, Layno and Hoggot for bowling. I still think bowling is nerdy but its fun so who cares. I did well in the first game but in the second game I bowled a gentleman's 64.
After the joys of bowling I decided to spend some money. I had the idea a few weeks ago to head to Melbourne for my birthday. I have a good friend in Melbourne and if anything it is just a good excuse to go and see her but we will say its all for my birthday because, well, I'm awesome. I bought the tickets for Hoggot, Calvin, Layno, the girl and I so now I'm broke. Well technically my credit card is broken. Its all ok though because the weekend will be crazy house.

My Picture Qualities
Ok admit its beautiful. I took this driving home the other night. Its a picture of the sunset above the Brighton Jetty. I love it. Have fun.
My Weeks End.
Ok so my working week is finally over, phew. It definitely has been a long one, and I'm glad its over. I have only got one day as a weekend so I'm going to have to make it a good one. Tonight looks promising too, with people coming round to my house in about 30 before we head down to the bay. There are drinks to be had and the night is young. Tomorrow is the girl and my 4 month anniversary and she bought me tickets to the footy. It should be a great game because its the two Adelaide teams against each other so that's something too look forward to as well. I bought her tickets to Melbourne to celebrate my birthday but don't tell her, lol.
Well work has been crazy so I thought I would let everyone know what I have been doing since Wednesday.
Wednesday
Wednesday started early as always when we are pouring concrete. It was bitterly cold so I wasn't completely happy to be outside but it soon got warmer as the day went on. We got the concrete in pretty easily and it wasn't hat hard a day. The first photo is just after we had filled the beams and the second photo is of my dad (on the right) and the two Italian concreters we use, Benny and David.
Thursday
We do a lot of work for different factory's around Adelaide, some of the jobs are good some are terrible. Thursday was terrible. The factory we were working at is called Fiberlogic. They make high pressure pipes out of fiberglass, using a special method that was developed only a few years ago. I would go into detail but it would bore people more than these pictures, lol. When they make the pipes they have to be cut and have grooves put in them and they use water as a lubricant. All of the waste water and fiberglass is put into pits where it settles but the pits are too big so the process does not completely work. Our job was to dig out 35000 litres of fiberglass slop. It had the consistency of honey and it made me itchy as hell!!! Below is a picture of some of the pipes at the back of the factory.
Friday, Saturday
For Friday and today we did another factory job. We had to put a pit in for a new machine at a tooling company. They make plastic injection dies for companies all over the world. The pit we put in was tiny and only took two days all up to dig out, poor the base and poor the walls. Below is a picture of the steel that we put into one of the pits we did last year. It was 3 metres deep opposed to the 40cm one we poured today.
Well that was another huge picture post. I hope you guys like these. If not tell me I'm crap and I will stop, lol. Well have a great weekend and I'm sure I will see you soon. Bye now.

My Job
Ok so at the end of last week and the start of this week I started a job and have pretty much finished by my self. I don't mind working by myself because I seem to get a fair bit done when there are no distractions. I thought I would post some photos of how the last few days have panned out at the job at 33 Park Terrace.
The first two days I spent digging trenches and the final result can be seen. The block is lower than the house so the trenches only had to be 200mm into the natural ground so the digging was quite easy.
Monday started with me waiting for a bloke to come and spray the ground to repel white ants. After he was done I put some plastic down to get it ready for steel.
I then cut my arm on some steel.
Monday I got all the beams steeled up and then spent about an hour in traffic driving home.
Today was another big day. I started early and put all the waffle pods in before putting double mesh on the whole site. The waffle pods are Styrofoam blocks that we use instead of putting rubble back into a job because all the dirt and rubble had to be taken out and brought in by wheel barrow. With the addition of two layers of mesh it makes the whole mass of concrete free standing. This takes all of the load off of the waffle pods so they are only used when the concrete is wet and are just lost form work once the job is finished.
Well that's about it really. That was Thursday, Friday, Monday and today. We poor concrete tomorrow so stay posted for a picture of that. Exciting I know.
Well take it easy guys. Bye now.

My World
Well since I have been posting photos lately I thought I would take some photos of my world... Meaning my room. First up is my desk and computer where all this blogging magic is written down... on keyboard. Notice the super cool periodic table that is
The next one is my cd collection. I have too many cds and I have wasted too much money on cds, but I love music so I keep buying them. They are all my favourite so good on me for having good taste. There is also a lot of cluttered things on my desk and they have tended to live there for a few years now.
The last photo is my room. Its very boyish, I know, but hey I'm only 19 and I like cars. I also have black curtains which is odd because in no way am I goth. I have a million photos and a million posters. I ran out of space on the walls so I started sticking posters on the roof but stopped when they kept falling on me in my sleep.Bye now

My Big Night Out.... Again
It started out the same as my nights have been starting lately with me thinking to myself that I didn't feel like a big night. My mind soon changed after I had a few beers.
We started the night by heading to my mate Joffie's 21st. I meet Joff a long time ago when we used to skate at Cumberland skate park. The party was a bit weird because his friends were a bit different but it was ok. We didn't stay long and then headed into town to meet everyone.
We got into town and headed to the London Tavern, which is where the girl works, and met up with Calvin and his friends and Tilney, Elyse and there friends. The girl was feeding me drinks for free so I was having a pretty good time. The highlight of the Tav was when we stole a both from too fat girls by sitting down with them until they got uncomfortable and left. It was an odd thing to do but we wanted to sit down.
After the Tav we headed to the Balcony Bar which I had never been to and still haven't because we couldn't get in so we headed on over to the Oxford to see our mate Smithy and have a few drinks. I have never been a huge fan of the Oxford but I had fun. We met up with Luke towards the end of the night so it was good to see him again.
The night ended with Layno and I getting pizza revolution and then driving home. Layno drove and I was a shell of a man because of the alcohol someone put in me. I got home and was still hungry so I decided to make pasta and woke everyone else up in the house in the process. Good on me.
Well that was the night.
Bye now
