I think you'll squeal with excitement that this entry is nowhere near as cryptic as the last. Yes, it's time for my monthly update (that I wish was something more along the lines of daily) and I've gotta be honest and say that I've really done little in the past month.

In the last week of February I did a Bar Course at the Indooroopilly Hotel to get my RSA. It was an experience, but it's now been nearly 3 weeks later and I still don't have a job from it (or my actual hardcopy RSA certificate either) so that's a bit disappointing. However, things are looking up as I might have scored a position working at the Glen Hotel thanks to a few old family ties and friendships.

I treated myself to a new 30GB Ipod and I gotta say it's worth every cent. I'm a big music lover and you just appreciate it so much more when your doing nothing but walking and absorbing the sounds. I've started to put my DVD's onto it too starting with the classic Dodgeball but also That 70's Show and Scrubs.

I've still managed to continue the tradition of going to the beach every Thursday and Saturday (albeit a few odd days) which I'm proud of. I started the week after uni (my count, first week of November) and it's now march and I'm still powering through. I think that brings my beach trip count up to something around 30 times. It's been great fun though and the 6am start really wakes you up and helps you get the most out of your day. It's also helped me build a nice tan that I hope won't fade too much through winter. I don't see the tradition stopping anytime soon as the water is still really warm!
Next summer I'm really looking forward to renting a house down at the Gold Coast for a few weeks. It'd be a great experience and a good getaway from the city life.

I've discovered a new website that I think everyone should jump onto and have a play with called 43things. It's basically just a to-do list, but how you use it is up to you. You can play long term or short term and the best thing is you join hundreds (sometimes thousands) all looking to achieve the same things. Once people achieve their goals they often reply saying whether it was worth it or not and offer advice. It's a really good motivation tool and helps you get on track. The site also branches out into 43places, which is like a travel type site, where you make a list of all the places in the world you'd like to travel. The site and possibilities are huge, so instead of me trying to explain it, just sign up and trying using it! Amy and myself have

I've been slowly working in a geek sense at the new version of the-group including the blogging system so that it's easier to use for everyone, faster and alot cooler. Uni is upon me and the weird tendency to start to love programming is starting again so progress should speed up and I'll have it finished as soon as I can. If there's any features, bugs, or just things you want in the new version, leave a comment.

Uni has started again and after skipping the first two weeks due to laziness and working I'm already behind but hoping to catch it up fairly quickly. My hours aren't as bad as I thought, I go Monday, Tuesday and Thursday which still leaves me with a long weekend! I went to class today and XML at 9am just doesn't seem right. I also saw Tara from Runcorn, long time no see and she's looking pretty good and seems fairly chirpy.

On March 29th, I'm going to Thirsty Merc with Amy, Jess, Benji, Dani and Mel and I can't fucking wait. I'm really starting to dig Thirsty Merc at the moment and it should be a very chilled out sorta night. I'm looking forward to it! The following month I've got The Red Hot Chili Peppers with Jess and Danman and then Lamb of God with Yeatsie and possibly a third gig, Slayer with myself. Awesome!

There you have it, the last month and a bit of a preview for the next month, have a good one.

OaO

Heh, shamelessly hotlinked from BrisMetal until I get some! Oh, here's two youTube video's, one of Caliban's wall of death (lol) and one of Symphony of Destruction. At 49seconds in Symphony when the security goes to the side and you see like a mass on the right of the screen, that was me getting pulled out Haha

And to think, that out of all that, I was on the fucking front. Not a bad turnout for Brisbane!!!

Again, I was the fucking front of that

Fucking tight. Dave rules.

GIGANTOUR FUCKING OWNED! Well Arch Enemy and Megadeth did! Caliban was so so and Soulfly wasn't the greatest, but MEGADETH!!!!!!!!!!

Arch Enemy was damn good, Angela has a fucking kickass voice, definitely no effects there! She's fucking gorgeous too!

Megadeth owned. It was fucking awesome. I was front row, right on the barrier in front of Shawn Drover. Was fucking amazing! I lasted there until Symphony of Destruction, then I passed out and had security haul me out. Next thing I know I'm being given water by them! I heard She-Wolf though so I was back into the mosh instantly and then crowd surfed Haha was fucking awesome!

Mustaine owned, he was fucking having a great time. Won't forget the kid who kept asking for his pick. "You want this pick? But then what am I going to play guitar with dickhead?" Hahaha. Was fucking insane. Washington's Next is a killer track, and fucking... ARGH *SQUEALS LIKE A GIRL*!!

I might be able to get hold of some pictures so I'll upload those when I get the chance!

Was great hearing shit like Take No Prisoners, Trust, Washington's Next owned too. I spent $140 on merch, got 3 t-shirts that are all fucking sick and a sweatband that's probably never going to leave my wrist either.

I'm looking into heading to Melbourne to see them again just because it was so fucking unreal. Sofar I've got this:

• Qantas Airfares: $360
• Ticket: $95
• Accomodation: $59

Still deciding! Need a wingman to come with though! MEGADETH!!!!!!!
