How I did it
How to go fishing
It took me
1 year
It made me
even more confident

How I did it: I got taken on a multi-day fishing trip with my part-time job. Which was cool since I'd been wanting to go out fishing for a while, but didn't know many people who went out fishing.We did it in style too, top of the North Island and I caught snapper and kahawai, which are great game fish.One of the guys caught a massive yellow tail kingfish which we put in a rockpool.When our guide threw some burly (fish bait) off the rocks I just couldn'… Read how I did it…

How to get my full drivers license
It took me
6 years
It made me

How I did it: After having failed before for turning up with an empty tank, I was a bit better organised, though my friend had to wait outside while i was doing the test since I was using a flat deck ute with a ATV tied on the back. I just kept calm and the guy I had was pretty easy going. Just take on the things he tries to tell you rather than responding immediately with an excuse like "I don't normally drive like that!" Peace out. Read how I did it…

live prescription free until at least 80 years old
Untitled 5 days ago

I’m not so much against the use of prescription drugs though I believe in holistic health… me taking some prescribed medicine will not normally cure me but simply make the symptoms disappear.

I hope to live to an old age without the assistance/need of any prescribed medicine by a health professional. I hope to do so by living a healthy life and a proactive attitude about health issues.

This will be my last post until after graduation photo has arrived, as I’m simply overcommitted with my time & energy.

Peace out.

get a degree (read all 26 entries…)
Untitled 6 days ago

Coming home from a short holiday trip yesterday I found a letter in the mailbox:

I’ve completed all my academic and practical work requirements!

So I’ve filled in the application for graduation and paid for the graduation regalia hire fees…
16th of April I will have one ‘thing’ less!

build an outdoor fireplace (read all 3 entries…)
Untitled 6 days ago

I might be moving house next month and live there for only a short time also…
This makes it less of a priority to build a fireplace as it is more something that I can either take with me or is so gigantic it is there to stay (with ME).

So I’ve moved it down the list about 10 places.!
