A quick introduction to my new blog. Clearly, if you’re here have nothing better to do with your life, no reason not to waste a little more time. Right?
Recap of the final days I spent in New Zealand. Along with an awesome original song and slideshow!
There’s one final post coming, I swear. In just one or two days, its special so its taking a bit longer than I thought. So don’t go away, I’ll back after a short messages from our sponsors.
Timm and I having a jam awhile back. So I sold my guitar today at a pawn shop. Bringing it back to the U.S. just wasn’t going to happen. Marie (what I named my guitar) will be sorely missed and provided me with endless hours of joy. I bought her for $135, and got $60
It’s certainly weird to know that I’m only going to be living in New Zealand for one more week. Maybe I’ve become so accommodated to living here that I haven’t realized in less than 7 days I’m going to have to pack everything up into to big bags and head home. Unfortunatly, I also have
Here’s another post about a tramp (hike) that I did here in NZ. With just over a week left in this beutiful country, a few of us decided we better make the best of it and go on an adventure. Rich, as you can see, was totally into the idea. So we started of on

Well, my week of misery has passed and I’m done with my paper and presentation. As a new resolution, I decided I’m going to be more diligent in my posting. However, with little over a month left here in New Zealand, my funds for big trips to write about are beginning to run dry. So
