Well today Mum Dave and I went Christmas shopping and got half of it out of the way. Just need to get one more present then all Christmas shopping is complete. Need to get a Leslie Nilson box set from JBHIFI. I can't believe Christmas is next week now. This year has gone by so quickly. It will be my birthday very soon now. In three weeks i really can't believe it almost 20 where did my teen years go. Anyway really must remember to go to church soon. I have been really slack as of late. I can't think of any more excuses so thats what i have not gone just been slack. Wow it feels good to write this done. If there is a church service in boxing day i will go. I must go.
haven't seen anyone from church in a while not since laser tag anyway.
thats it for now.

Well today started my Christmas holidays even though its not December yet so i don't know what to do with myself. Boy this year as flown by tafe is finished i really hope i will keep getting work before the schools finish for the year as then it is going to get really hard to get work unless someone decided's to put me on the roster for the holidays.

Earth,Gallifrey and the Universe
Well its been some time since i made a blog for a number of reasons
1. Time. I have been very busy as of late with work and hanging with friends. Well i have just been having a great time to create one.
2. My old computer died. So i have been using mums laptop but now i have a new computer. A Medion so that should help me now.
Well basically those are the reasons. Tomorrow I'm Helping two friends of mine move house so thats probably going to take most of the day. Also Mum and Dave are going Camping again tomorrow.
On Sunday is the Newtown festival which will have live music, food, friends which is probably the most important thing. I will be helping the Petersham salt youth group hand out the Essential Jesus and also handing out pamphlets to raise awareness for Orphans which i reckon is very important. I am being trained as a childcare worker so i can work with children.

Its update time again
Hey everyone that reads this. feels like i haven't made a blog in ages so i decided to make one in the speer the moment type things.
So anyway what can i talk about lets see.
Well earlier this week on Tuesday for the final grow for this term we all went to Broadway to watch Tomorrow when the war began. What can i say about this movie well i really enjoyed it.
I really want to read the series now.
I thought the beginning lagged on a bit but about from that its fine. The acting was excellent. Its based on a series of novels which i have not read so maybe i'm being a bit biased to the books. The film was filmed here (Australia) in the blue mountains,hunter valley.northern beaches,raymond terrance and heaps of other places around Australia including Dungog now why do i single out dungog.
Its where my aunt and uncle live so thats awesome. Oh and my Grandfather lives in the blue mountains.
Moving on i have also been working a lot recently so i have been getting paid so thats really cool. I really enjoy working i have been working at stanmore primary after school center every Monday and Thursday but i won't be during the tafe holidays which is a shame. Maybe i will get work somewhere else but i don't know i must admit i prefer working over tafe. It makes me feel like i'm doing something and gaining experience by doing rather then writing.
Well thats all i have to say for now for anyone that reads this thank you.
P.S. If there is anyone who wants to share your opinions about tomorrow when the war began please leave a comment.

My house after unpacking plus the surrounding area.
Hello again we have settled into our new house now and nearly everything has been unpacked from the move. I have also have some pictures of the surrounding area.
| This is the park behind our house |
This is part of the playground that is behind our house it is still being fixed up by Canterbury council.
| This is the other part of the play equipment |
This of course is the other part of the play equipment. Im a bit old to play on it though. :)
Now for the inside of the house
Well here is the kitchen with one more box to unpack. But apart from that the kitchen is done. on the right outside the photo is the door to the back garden and also a door for the laundry and bathroom.
Here's the living room and i know its hard to see but on the right is the HD wide tv. :) which is awesome. I can't wait to have people over its going to be intense. Oh and do you like our coffee table haha yes its our iron board we could not figure out where to put it so we made it useful.
Finally there is the dinning table that re rarely use as we are sitting in front of the tv.
so there you have it the new house unpacked and part of the surrounding area. Its a nice little house. Im thinking about painting my room but i don't know yet.
Thats all for now.

Bill Bailey live
Hello again. Mum ordered tickets to see Bill Bailey live as a special treat for moving house. It was great fun sadly there are no photos because your not allowed cameras in the theater. I was laughing all evening bill is of course very funny to watch. I won't say much about his act well maybe a bit like for example he referred Julia Gillard as a dalek because apparently all she says is moving forward. The whole audience kept laughing throughout the entire night. At the very end of the show he left the stage and people started to leave but a few minutes latter he came back out with a guitar and said "Where do you think your all going" "If you have somewhere more important to be go on then". he said that while he was walking back on stage. Everyone that had already stood up and were half way to the exit spun around a lot of people cheered. Mum Dave and i were still siting down as we were waiting for the theater to clear before leaving laughed and clapped.Turned he had forgot to do something with us. He did two more things which was was great.
I love Bill Bailey he is one of the best comedians i have seen now i have seen both Dilan Moran and Bill Bailey both of course were in black books.
p.s if i can find one of the tickets if mum has not thrown them out i will put it on this blog.
thats all for now.

First pictures of new house
Hi people.
Got the house keys today and took some things over and had dinner for the first time at the new house. I already love my new house much better then the one im in now.
I took a photo of the front of the house. Its a nice little place. We will probably paint the house as none of us like it at the moment. Don't know which color yet though. The steeps have black pads on them to stop you from slipping.
This is going to be our living room as you can see we already put the carpet down and where the HD tv is going to go thanks to the wires the couch is going on the left. We have also already put up the picture at the edge of the photo. We most likely will paint the whole house a new color.
This is my room :) it has a built in wardrobe I have already stuffed a lot of things into it like cloths and my PS3 etc.. I don't know yet but i may set up my bed tomorrow in the new house as its already dismantled and ready for transport. Mum is in the above picture and this one as i followed her around today.
We were all surprised when we walked into the kitchen to find in the cubbed a cascade beer and a small coke that you usually get on plane flights. The wine bottle we got when we got the keys as a welcome present it says to Narelle Graham and Dave Taylor congratulations on your new house. and it has a picture of the house on it WIN. None of these have been drunk yet.
Mum standing out side the back. Sadly i deleted the photo of the garden so this is the only picture of the back for now which leads into the house. Out the back is a tool shed and a garden shed. Plus a garden and a cloths line. We also get a lemon tree and a pear tree. Thats awesome.
I will of course try and keep you updated with information but in the next few days in fact tomorrow most likely i will disconnect the computer and mum is applied for bob for our new house so its going to take up to 20 days to get the phone and internet up and running again. So either if anyone wants to contact me call or text me and if you don't have my number find someone who does. Otherwise you will have to wait until im at dads or when bob is up.

Weekend going good so far :)
Well Im halfway through the weekend now and so far its been great. On Friday I caught up with Daniel, Erin, Rosi, Alana and a few others in Newtown for lunch etc. Afterwards we decided to go back to Petersham church and rent a movie (The Breakfast Club) a brilliant cult move :) When i Got home i had a quick dinner and picked up the PS3 and went over to Lewis and Kim's house to stay the night. Lewis rang me earlier to ask me if i wanted to get a game from the video store so he rented out Batman Arkham Asylum. I did not play it until this morning. For the rest of the night we played Infamous until 10 past 12 in the morning.
On Saturday (today) after i got back from Lewis and Kim's i have been packing up the rest of my room.
Its now bare their is nothing left in here. I found some random items in a few cabinets i took some photos of what my room looks like now as well.
my coat stand plus hat stand. The black thing is my laundry bag and also my bed. Nearly all or all of the pictures in the whole the house have been taken down now.
There was once a picture on this wall above the fire place but it was taken down today it was a picture of two ships. Only two things remain now my lamp and alarm clock. I have no idea what this room was once used for since it has a fire place in it. I doubt it still works.
Just the curtains and blinds they are now open to the sunlight the blinds a bit broken though. They are going to be very hard to clean because of this. But it lets in a good amount of sunlight when fully open.
At the very bottom of this picture is my cloths rack which will go as in the new house i have a build in wardrobe. I used to keep a collection of toy cars on that shelf. The self is again packed away for the move along with the cars.
The picture above is just some boxes. The junk on top is now packed.
The picture below is my computer. That door is unassailable as it opens inwards towards the computer desk a few of the items seen in the picture are now packed like the white bag and the wooden file holder. Also the blank cds.
I wonder what Sunday will bring for me.
P.S their are a few more pictures but blogger wont let me add any more.

New PM = End of the road?
Ok its official K Rudd is gone and Julia Gillard is in. In other words the ALP is going to be gone next election i bet you anything they will be. Can we even call Julia Prime Minister as the public had no say in it just the party itself. When the election arrives the Libs aka the Nazis will be back and Australia is going to be even more screwed. In fact if they win the upcoming election i want to move country. Well maybe not that extreme but still. We will basically be back in the Howard years except it will be called the Abbot years.
Dear me what is this country coming to.

A nice and calming day mixed with color
Today has been a quite one because i slept in today i didn't go to church and i went out into the backyard for awhile it was so nice out there and because im moving in five weeks now i decided to take some pictures.
Im not to sure if this is a weed or not but i don't really mind as i noticed the comparison of the different greens.
I took this photo because of the comparison of the color of the flowers and the green leafs mixed with the yellow leafs caught my attention.
It may be hard to see because of all the green leafs but there is a bee on the centre green leaf. I haven't taken many photos recently so i decided to do this. It has made me think i need to take more pictures like theses.
This Spider web caught my attention don't know were the spider is though.
The light on this plant also caught my attention it sort of blends with the yellow and red.
Well thats what i think anyway.
I can't remember where this came from. I think its either a deep slope ahead.
or a truck safety ramp sign. Not sure though.
Sadly this picture is a bit blurred around the pink flower.
Finally there is this i was just about to head inside when this yellow crested cockatoo appeared and i decided to take a photo of it. It was making a lot of noise as well.
Well thats all the photos i want to upload.
The rest of the day i have listened to music. Spoke to Daniel and did some tafe work.
Tonight im going to a friends for awhile to play some halo. I will watch Doctor Who another time.
Thats all for now.

Golden Eye 2010 E3 ONLY FOR WII about frigging time
a remake of the classic Goldeneye 64 game for the Nintendo Will is being released this year in November.
Tafe excursion
A while ago was my tafe excursion to walibi (i think) childcare centre in Redfern and to the Australian Museum in the city. We also celebrated three birthdays with a cake at the end of the day. The Australian Museum has been renovated since the last time i was there which i think was up to six years ago at least. At the childcare centre we played with the children and before we left they sang us 4 songs. This Childcare centre is special as its a Aboriginal childcare centre so we heard aboriginal songs. and others like twinkly twinkly little star and a altered version of it.
At the Australian Museum we looked at the usual things like the bird room and insect room. There were new places as well like a kids centre for children to learn about different animals at there on leisure. We spent at least 10 mins in there looking at everything. The Museum also had an aboriginal room that talked about the aboriginal culture spiritual and history.

Gah i can't believe i forgot?
I forgot that today Newtown and Petersham Church combined with Stanmore Church and because i have no idea where Stanmore Church is i did not go. So instead i had a hot chocolate in Newtown then when to shopping with Mum and Dave. Got myself a Doctor Who magazine so thats a plus. I can't believe i forgot that though. All well im seeing most of the group on Tuesday so i can ask them about it then. Yesterday was fun went into Newtown and hanged out with Erin and Daniel and a few others from Salt. Afterwards i went to Canterbury RSL club and listened to some live music and ran into some old high school friends which was a nice surprise. So it was a great way to end to night.

I haven't made one of these recently.
Well i was just thinking and i realised i have not made a blog recently. I have been really busy recently and thats probably not going to change. Next Thursday i have an interview at marrickville council for a casual job. At tafe i have another assessment task to do. Two weeks ago i started play season at tafe on Tuesdays. Sunday im going to a goodbye drinks night as a friend of mine is going to Italy for a few months or so. Then i have another goodbye party to go to as another friend of mine is going to America for 4 months then to Europe for another few months. It seems a lot of people are going overseas for awhile this year. I know six people so far that are traveling overseas so far this year. I have another four weeks of tafe left for this term wow it goes quickly. Only another two terms after these four weeks are up.
Between catching up with friends and tafe time seems to go faster as if the clocks are on fast forward. It will be the end of the year before we know it.

New Phone part 1
I got a new phone yesterday. A Nokia 2005 model. I have the same number as the old phone. All my contacts are still in the phone. So thats good the only problem is that i can receive calls and texts and reply to texts i just can't call people on the phone? Im going to get dad to have a look at it today. Hopefully we can sort out the problem if not.... well I may either have to go back to the old phone that doesn't work or get dad to get me another new phone a couple of months out.
I will update this story soon when more details come in.

Eleventh Doctor and Jo Grant to visit Sarah Jane Adventures
I reckon this is awesome news.
The BBC Press Office has announced that The Sarah Jane Adventures will have two special guests when it returns for a fourth series this autumn. In a special two-part story written byRussell T Davies, Matt Smith will appear as the Doctor, and Katy Manning will guest as the Doctor's former companion Jo Grant. Manning starred in Doctor Who opposite the Third Doctor, Jon Pertwee, from 1971 to 1973. Manning has recorded audio adventures for Big Finish Productions, but this will be the first time she has played Jo Grant on television in thirty-seven years.
The press release includes reactions fromElisabeth Sladen, who plays Sarah Jane Smith, Manning, and Sarah Jane Adventures executive producer Nikki Wilson:
Elisabeth Sladen, who plays Sarah Jane comments: "It's a fantastic script and I can't wait to work with another Doctor and hope Matt has fun with us. I've known Katy for ages and I am delighted to be working with her. I last met her in LA but this time we will be in Cardiff. LA was good but Cardiff is better."
Katy Manning, who recently returned to live in the UK again, adds: "Playing Jo Grant again is something I never really considered. I was gob-smacked when they told me and I am over the moon. What an incredible little treat. I come home and this is one of the first things that happens."
Executive producer Nikki Wilson says: "We are absolutely thrilled to be introducing Sarah Jane and the gang to both The Eleventh Doctor and Jo Grant, and to have a script penned by Russell T Davies is the icing on the cake!
"Viewers are in for a real treat, with an action-packed story full of Russell's usual wit and warmth, which takes the gang inside a secret base beneath Snowdon and introduces brand-new vulture aliens, the mysterious Shansheeth. All this, plus a trip to an alien planet – a first for The Sarah Jane Adventures."

New Doctor Who
Well i watched the start of the new Doctor Who series last night and im impressed. I reckon Matt Smith can pull it off and maybe be equal to David Tennant just maybe. I loved how The eleventh doctor walked through the tenth doctor image and just said "Basically run" i think that was great. There is so much to love about the new series i reckon and i have only seen the first episode so far.The new tardis looks interesting its going to take some time to get used to. The new companion is fabulous though i think the Doctor taking her away in the tardis the day before her wedding was a smooth idea. But as he doesn't know about the wedding you can't keep him responsible. Im already counting down to next Sunday can't wait. Should be fun.

Well the Weekend is almost over now and so are the holidays :(. All well it was fun while it lasted Cod 5 and Dinner at Erin and Justin's, Kyck buying Cod 5 going over to Lewis and Kim's.

On Friday night i went to Confucius at Ashfield then went back to Lewis and Kim's and played Splintercell conviction i did not leave until 3 in the morning remind me not to do that again anytime soon. On Saturday night i went out with mum and Dave to a memorial gig. I drank coke and vodka and coke all evening and watched 80s bands play one of which my uncle is in which is called Samurai Trash. I have forgotten the name of the other band. Got home at 12:30 or 1 am. So im really tired and im working on an Assessment task for tafe which is due in tomorrow.

Well i just had a great three days of learning about gods word and im inspired. Kyck a three day camp where over i don't know 500 or more or less teenagers such as myself get to hang out relax and learn about god is simply amazing. That was only the first weekend as well there are two more weekends to go where even more will arrive and hear. Some are people who want to learn what Christianity is about and i find it amazing that when i was there people found the way and became Christians themselves and i think thats awesome. :) The talks really hit me to do something today and let Jesus deal with tomorrow. Not only siting and listening to the talks but to sing and to help one another. This i think is what Kyck is about. Meeting fellow Christians in Christ. I will be very surprised is someone walked away from that and was not inspired or had not learnt a thing. I know i have.
Im going to make sure i go again next year.

Its going to be a fun filed rest of the week. I just hope all go's well wish im sure it will. :) The only day i don't have anything on is Thursday well i guess that will become my packing day for Kyck 10. Now that i think about it i will probably make another blog after kyck 10 actually thats most likely lol. At the moment im listening to itunes and the song Poison arrow by ABC. Yes i listen to basically everything Im contemplating making myself a cup of tea and heating up a meat pie.
On another topic i really need to get a new phone soon because i can't call or text people anymore. :( which is really frustrating. I can receive texts but can't reply. My phone is a sliding phone so i can only call people who are already in my phone if i unlock it when the slide is down. Dad says if i look after the phone until may i MAY be able to get a new phone. Itunes is now playing the sinking from the Titanic soundtrack. Wow i sound random haha.

Nazi Zombies at Erin's and Justin's house
on Wednesday i was invited to go to Erin's through text message and becuse my phone is playing up and i can't send text messages anymore i had to call Erin back. So abit after 5:30 i was dropped off and i realised i had been to the Latimers before. When i went over and watched Ferris Bueller's day off. As i keep saying it was a fun night with Erin, Justin, Daniel, Jamie and Kathrine. Beth didn't show we played Nazi Zombies which was awesome. I enjoyed playing Nazi Zombies so much the very next day i went and bought it for PS3 for only $50 Bargain. :) Now that i have my own copy of the game i can practice for next time. As im sure there will be. As long as Erin keeps my number in her phone. :)

Having fun with my sisters :) which really is not what this blog is about.
Tonight from 5:30 to 9 i babysat my sisters all we did was play sims 3 (one of the best games ever). Then asking them to go brush there teeth. In the back of my mind though there was that nagging feeling of disappointment for not going to the last bible study for the term. All well i will see all of them at kyck which will be fun. I wonder what they did hmm do i want to know? If i did i would probably feel sad for not going. I also feel guilty for not going and i missed the group haha i miss one day and all ready im moaning about it. ahhhh Kyck can't come soon enough. for the good news im on holidays yay. Looks like this blog turn out differently then i had planned .

two movie references in a doctor who novel? Maybe??
Im reading through a doctor who novel at the moment and there are some lines in the first few pages that sound as though they were copied/or taken from two movies. Try and guess what two movies that came to my mind. I will put in part of chapter.
The road back into Lychburg wound through a series of wooded hills, branching several times, and in the night it was easy to get lost. Norman swore under his breath and glanced between the two unmarked roads available at the junctions. If other traffic had been around, he could have just gone with the general flow,but due to some freak of timing there was no other vehicle in sight. Norman was sufficiently adolescent to place a premium on looking cool in front of his girl - or at least, not looking the precise opposite - and to wander aimlessly through the back roads for an hour would look, he thought, uncool in the extreme.
'I think we should go left;'Myra said. It wasn't so much what she said as the way she said it, but he felt an almost physical paroxysm of relief. It was as if she had read his mind, and seen his secret dread of girl-contempt, and had made damn sure that what she said contained not a single trace of it. Mr Hecht had talked in his class about teenage hormones, Norman recalled, how they made you sorta crazy and confused, how they made you blow the tiniest of things out of all proportion - but knowing that it happened and why it happened were not much when it was you who were going through it.
'Yeah, OK,' Norman said. 'We'll go left.;
the road led upwards, but in the dark the twists and turns contrived to mask how steep the incline in fact was - until they came to a bluff beyond which were sprawled the lychburg city lights. You could make out the neon signs of Main Street, the lit-up clock face of city hall which had stopped several years ago when it had been damaged by a lighting strike. You could see right across the city, even to the darkness of the hills and the tiny lights of the Drive-o-Rama beyond...
The towering embarrassment of adolescence hit Norman again as he realised he had parked in one of Lychburg's seriously notorious make-out spots without really meaning to.
He started to apologies, but Myra was resting herself warm and casual against him.
'It's beautiful, isn't it?' she said in a voice that told Norman she had known precisely where the left turn she'd suggested led. 'I love it up here. I always love it when i come up here.
What do you think? When you look at the City. What do you feel?'
'Well, yeah uh...' Norman tried to sort out his feelings the question prompted. There had been something vaguely disquieting about the way that Myra had said City, as though the word were capitalised, as though this was in some sense the only name Lychburg could ever had or need. 'Yeah, well, its home, isn't it? it's our home town. it's where we grew up. Everything we know. Its just that sometimes..'
'Yes?' said Myra. Her voice was completely neutral: a simple prompt that triggered no fight-or-flight animal danger signals
whatsoever.
it's just sometimes it seems so small,' said Norman. it's like we live our little lives here, go to school and go to work and the movies, and none of it really means anything. I mean, there's a big wide world out there and...
'There is no other world,' said Myra, voice still perfectly neural. No human content to it at all. 'There is no World but the City.'
'What are you talking about? Just down the road from the drive-in there's...'
Norman's voice trailed off as his thoughts slipped over the edge of some mental cliff. A chaos of partially formed images struck him - images of a road similar to those which ran from Lychburg to the drive-in, only somehow wider and with any number of roads running parallel, all of them packed with pod-like cars; images of places that were like the town of Lychberg but entirely different in some way that he could not pin down; images of huge and unimaginably complicated places with strange buildings and people who looked and moved in different...
Norman had been conscious of the outside, larger world in the same way he was conscious of having a right hand. It was something that you simply did not actively think about. The thought just never occurred. Now that it had, he realised, it was like falling into some mental void . There were places outside, and those places had names - but now that he tied to think of them, now that he tried to imagine some world other than, and outside from, the Lychburg city limits, he could not think of a single one.
Not one.
From down below, at the bottom of the bluff, he heard a sharply detonative sound like a rifle shot or a thunderclap close up - as though the air itself had split apart as something burst through it. There was the sound of some strange mechanism whirring to a stop.
'Your thought process as become erratic.; Myra said in flat inhuman tones, in the way some science guy might discuss a bug under a glass slide. 'Complexity of the host- sensorium is resurfacing. Starting to remember. the signifiers of the world are collapsing, deconstructing under an atypical and excessive sense of psychic introspection. Clearly, it has been infected by the forces of Discontinuity.;
For the first time since they had parked here on the cliff-edge, Norman looked at her - turned to really look at her.
physically she looked unchanged, but there was a hideous sense of wrongness about her, the positioning of her limbs, the muscles that moved them, set in postures that had no humanity about them; relaxed or tensed in manners that no human being could ever achieve.
her eyes were clear and steady and direct, with nothing, absolutely nothing, living inside them.
'The Continuity must be protected; she said, and with an entirely relaxed and casual manner she reached up her hand to plunge its splayed-open fingers deep within Norman Manley's eyes.
This is an extract from the Doctor Who novel: HEART OF TARDIS.
now can you think of two movies in which you might find something like this. The bold bits are the main things i wanted to point out. If you leave a comment about your guess i will tell you mine.

Hurlstone park Children's centre.
Today i went to Hurlstone park Childcare Centre and i thought it was just going to be a look around the centre ask a few questions and hand in a resume. Boy was i wrong but in a good way. :) When i got there at 10:02 am i meet with the centre's manager who showed me around the centre and introduced me to some of the staff and of course the children who found me fascinating and started asking "who is that man" it was very sweet. I got to some of the kids from the 3 to 5 year olds. Lets see if i can remember some of there names.
- Lucas
- Evie (or a name that sounds like Evie)
- Ben
I helped some of the Children make puzzles and find the pieces. There was Three puzzles. There was a caterpillar that turned into a butterfly puzzle and a platypus puzzle and the third i can't remember that this stage. Damn my Memory. :(
Im jumping around a bit. The Children were then read another story or two to calm them down a bit before they danced to a surfer song? thats whats the centre staff called it. They also danced to a bit of eye of the tiger and the whole of Thriller which like i said earlier was very cute. They then did some stretching which i joined in with. I think the Kids were watching me then the instructor. :)
The Children then proceeded to go to lunch it was pasta and salad yummy. This is the time i said goodbye and left. On my way out i spoke to the centre manger and she suggested i do some work experience at the centre. I think its a great idea so i said i was nearly at the end of term one at tafe and almost on holidays i also said i had tafe Monday Tuesday and Friday. She suggested Wednesday. So all i have to do is call them next term to arrange a few hours on Wednesday to come to the centre.
A job well done i think. I think God helped me abit by letting me get an interview and very nice staff at a lovely centre.
