Ok man, what is happening. Its April!   I am trying the blogger app. Its a bit weird and I have no idea if the pictures are showing properly.    Are they?   I have no idea, I'm back on a browser now so hopefully this post will look a little more coherent than what I can see on my phone.   Yes - April - goddamnit where is all the time going?   Also - let's not panic...   So I am becoming exceedingly lazy of late.  My weekends are full of events that while I may look like I am turning into a social butterfly, remember that appearances are deceiving and really, I am turning into a social slug.  I get there, I end up just lying about, and leaving a mess.   I also went diving - and I really would have loved to share my photos of the lovely underwater world I encountered in Manly but my camera failed me.  But, I did go paddle boarding too - I was slow, I was wobbly and I forgot my sun-cream and I fell but you know what - I saw jellyfish float alongs

In fact, I have recently been encouraged to write my short stories and such and start looking for ways to publish.  If anyone has any resources or sharing ideas, please hand them over!  I'm not expecting something lucrative, but I want to write to get better, get critique and collaborate with others.  That way I don't write in a vacuum of writer's hipsterness. I feel like I have procrastinated a lot, even though I ha

Tapas Fest 2014 - My Spanish Adventure

So last September 2014 I went on an epic adventure back to my (other) homeland, Spain! I took K and J with me as travel buddies (oh and mum too hee hee) and they're the best travel buddies ever! We spent 4 weeks gallivanting around the peninsula and even though I was still mega sick with a borderline hangover style depression, I had an amazeballs time and got to reconnect to my old home and reminisce about childhood and meet with old friends and family. Flying high with Monster Hunter - Achieving G-Rank at 5000 feet! Mind you, the long flights are horrible, thankfully the Emirates long haul flights we took had a great collection of shows to watch like Community, Brooklyn 99 and some old school friends - awwww  yeah! Finally arriving in Barcelona, tired and excited, we met up with two other travel buds who decided the first meal they'd have in Spain was Burger King. WACK! No worries, we were situated in a nice area that let us commute easily aroun
