The BIG three Oh my God!

Had a great b day.  started the day with the usual surf.  Got some nice waves...  went back home, bought a 1988 Toyota Camry station wagon as a present to myself for $2150!  I asked the dealer to give it to me for 2 grand and he said no.  Then i told him it was my b day and he said WHAT?  you think I'm Santa Claus!  NO!  Then i said...  OK  2150 is good then.

My car is AWESOME.  I think its my best car yet.  It's redish burgandy and I've named it heaps blue.

My buddies got my absolutely shit faced and there were a bunch of other people who helped out too.  Heaps dumb had a little concert sort of. 

Then... at the end of the night...  I decided to bike home and about 50m from my house, I went over the handle bars and landed on my face.  I look like the phantom of the opera.  Awesome bry. 

I went tot he hospital and it took the doc about an hour to scrub out all the dirt and rocks that were imbedded in my face.  But... the good part of it was that he gave my nitrous and...  i love nitrous now. 

turning 30 has made me dumber. 

this may be a bit long so if you like rewards... then you'll have to bare bear bhare with it.  so... the practicum finally finished and we had a 1 week easter break.  me and my band (heaps dumb) decided we'd rent a car and drive up the coast to surfer's paradise.  it was quite a journey of surf.  we stopped off at all the famous beaches of Oz and the surfing was fantastic.  i can barely move my arms cuz of all that lactic acid build up.  actually... to tell you the truth... my arms are getting SO big that my shoulders are getting tired carrying those two pythons.

we camped it all the way up in national parks and get this...  over the 6 day extravaganza... we spent about 350 australian dollars each.  This includes... 

food, booze, accomodation, gas...

hahaha....  9 dollars of that was spent on accomodation. 

it was good times all the way up to byron bay.  an amazing hippie town filled with hippies and we hit the blues festival too!  well. didn't go in but i heard there were tons of great acts.  Jack Johnson, Dave Mathews, G love, Xavier Rudd, Heaps dumb.... 

anyways...  you'll never believe this but!

we surfed with 30 dolphins at this one point called the ruins... and then we surfed with 5 more dolphins at another point called broken head.  They were jumping right outta the water at us when the waves were coming.  I LOVE DOLPHINS!

i surfed D'bah... which is right next to snapper rocks.  it's one of the most famous waves in the world.  Perfect rights all day long!

Lennox head was AMAZING!

Crescent HEAD!  amazing!

but... i think Scott's head was one of the funnest times I've had surfing.  I surfed a wave till my legs started to cramp up.  It was about 45 seconds all the way to the beach.   I've never surfed better and... today...  Surfed a screecher wave at this beach called rainbow and i was like... holy shit!  when is this wave gonna stop?

we had 6ft monsters crashing down at my local beach today and they were AWESOME!  food for the soul. 

it's a tough life being a surfer. 

gonna buy a car tomorrow for my birthday present to myself.  88 toyota camry station wagon.  burgandy.  2500 bucks.

Dear Brainfaurts,

This teaching thing is crazy.  Ifm doing my practicum now for the next 3 weeks and its day 4 now and I feel like that new teacher who comes in and subs for a class.  Itfs crazy.  Theyfre feeding me to the wolves.  Ifve been placed (lotto system) in the ghetto of ghetto schools and c  its ghetto.   I was at the receiving end of the old ink on the door handle trickc  Ifve taught two full classes where, Ifve restrained myself from using kendo a few times, andc yeahc itfs a little frustrating butc beer is only a short walk away.  Wine is a corkscrew and a pour awayc  and hard liquorc wellc the hard stuff is expensive here soc for nowc itfs beer and wine. 

Actuallyc I prefer to surf.  Out of the 60 or so days Ifve been here in Oz, Ifve surfed about 45 of those days.  Everyday I surf.  Everyday I walk to the beach (7 minutes) and surf no matter what the conditions are like.  Itfs awesome.  The water is warm.  The waves are good, and the sunrises and sunsets are spectacular. 

Okc

Time to plan something for those little bastards!  They havenft seen nothing yet!

B.

school's officially started... well... the work has officially started.  started with lots of little bullshit assigments and stuff...  its easy stuff but a lot of that "busy" work type thing.  researching, powerpointing, researching, cutting and pasting...  etc... etc...  procrastinating... more cutting, more pasting, watching movies....  yada yada....

my practicum actually starts next week.  I'll be teaching science in a real live high school!  I'm pretty excited 'bout that!  Mr. Ie...  the science guy. 

anyways... the surf has been small but, fun.
