The Adventures of Mr B

Lazy

Well it has been like forever since I have posted so it must be about time now.

I like putting up photos so I may just pretend what happened 1 yr ago actually happened last weekend. Otherwise I may not have stuff to post.

"I just tried to give him a wedgie but it all came out"

I think the title sums up last weekend. A party out in the country for Bex's going away to the UK. A cocktail party outdoor ed camp styles.

Btw, the quote is not from me.

It started as a nice decorated barn house with ladies in cocktail dresses

we played pool

But soon there was drinking

and dancing (I don't know why she has cornflakes)

and more drinking

and pretty soon bob was lying on the floor

People were hanging from the rafters (video)

Mr H couldn't quite aim for his mouth

and shots, by the shot, were too inefficient for some

And at the end of the night, there was a creaky rocking horse with a ping pong paddle and a headtorch

In the morning we relaxed in the sun

The end

(If anyone wants to see the photo for the title follow this link)

We're all going on a winter holiday

2007-01-17T21:55:00.000+11:00

My Bro, Bob, my Xal and I are all going to Kiwi-land in August

We are planning a fun filled adventure with some family and sight seeing as well.

There will be snowboarding, road-tripping, climbing, hopefully ice-climbing and some partying and some hanging out with family.

Why?
Here is some milford sound

Here is some Hat in Milford Sound, we are going back to milford this year but with our gf's this time.

Now all we need to do is get time off work :)

The Climbing Bug

2007-01-08T20:45:00.000+11:00

I got the climbing bug again. In the weekend Bob, Chris and I set ourselves the task of doing all "blue graded" climbs in the gym. There are 28 in all and I did 26 without a fall. I got excited about playing on stuff it was cool.

Today I am officially f**ked

After about 18 months off we are now going almost regularly. I got comfy shoes that don't kill my feet and Bob and I are gonna get us a rope so we can lead climb in and outdoors.

ps Hat you better get training I expect 25 onsight lead by Paynes 07/08, ok maybe 25 dogging but 25 all the same :)

New Years Photos

We had a cool new years. First we had some drinks at home while having a spa. At around 10pm we went into town and saw the coolest fireworks ever.

The whole bridge and harbour was lit up and I have never seen so many people before EVER. The main street/ streets of Sydney turned into footpaths. I even got to see a little police show of force. There was this guy running away. Next thing I know he was on the ground. One cop gave him a good head high tackle while 10 others then pinned him every possible way. Literally another 20 cops and horse joined in and they nice that nice old trick wear you life the guy up with his hands behind his back.

We then proceeded to kings cross before getting home quite boozed at 6am.

Jeremy tried but no luck

ps Henry isn't gay but bob? well look at that tie.

Movember, The Last Day

2006-11-30T14:13:00.000+11:00

Tomorrow I get to shave. More importantly I can go back to shaving without a mirror while I'm still half asleep. It takes a lot of effort to not shave off a Mo if your used to shaving that area for the past few years.

Last Chance to sponsor me folks you know you want to.

Day 24

2006-11-24T14:59:00.000+11:00

I have a Mo

Its day 17. I have a mo. It might even be somewhat bushy by the end of the month.

Geeky Stuff

Nvidia just released two cool things I want. The first, a beast of a graphics chip. 8800GTX it has 768Meg of Ram, 128 Shaders and nearly 700 Million transistors, for comparison an old ahtlon Xp has about 25Million. Its also cool as its become more general purpose and nvidia has provided a C complier for it so instead of trying to run general pupose algorithms via directx or opengl you can run them direct to the hardware. Unfortunately its $1000AUD so I think I'll have to wait for the mainstream version.

The other thing is a nice fancy chipset 680i which will now form the basis of my new sff pc I'm going to get next year :)

This will go with my new stereo and LCD TV and I want a camera too. The good thing is that I've wanted all these things for at least a year and I haven't purchased any so I've got some self control.

Day 10, a third of the way there

2006-11-10T09:50:00.000+11:00

Although you can't see it in the photo I'm not doing too bad, I'm growing more light coloured hair that isn't showing up in the photo (no really) especially at the edges. Anyway more importantly our team at work has now raised $470 we are almost half way to our informal goal of $1000.

Day 1 clean shaven

Movember

2006-11-01T10:39:00.000+11:00

Today is the first day of Movember

I will be growing a mo (well trying) for the whole month to raise money for mens health and because the rest of my office mates have made me do it.

For more information check out www.movember.com.au

If your in sydney click on the link and buy tickets to the gala event. You can even join if you like. The money goes towards research into male depression and prostate cancer. If you not in sydney please donate a few dollars to the cause.

Mo Sistas

Whilst growing a mo' is left to the guys, Mo Sistas (ladies that support their guys or just love mo's!) form an important part of Movember by recruiting Mo Bros, helping to raise funds and attending the highly anticipated Gala Parties.

You can show your support for Movember by:

Registering as a team captain and recruiting your own team of Mo Bros and Sistas
Go it solo, register as a Mo Sista, raise some awareness and money for male health
Buy a gala ticket and get glammed for the Gala Parties

Some stats from the website:

Men are far less healthy than women. The average life expectancy of males is 6 years less than females.
Every year in Australia 2,700 men die of prostate cancer – more than the number of women who die from breast cancer.
Depression affects 1 in 6 men…Most don’t seek help. Untreated depression is a leading risk factor for suicide. Rates of suicide are more than double the national road toll.

There will be photos of my progress or lack there of.

Please go to http://www.movember.com.au/au/sponsor, enter my Rego number which is 23832 and your credit card details. All donations of $2 and over are tax deductible.

Movember culminates at the end of the month at the Gala Partè where I’ll be parading my Mo on the cat walk for a chance to be crowned the Man of Movember. If you want to be part of this great night you’ll have to purchase a Gala Parte ticket for $33.00 (inc GST).

At the very least check back on this site to see how stupid I'm going to look.
