Tramping

On the last 2 days of the holiday me my dad and Niks dad went tramping. It was the first tramp id ever been on. A couple of days earlier I went to food town to get some tramping food. i got some instant thai green curry, choclate and nuts. Altogther my pack weighed 8 kg. The first day we started at lunch time. We walked for a few hours and then set up camp in a pine forest. I ate my instant Thai Curry and it was yummy. The next day we went on a Punga massacre. Me and nik got sticks and bashed the crap out of any Dead punga we saw on the way. It was really fun but tiring. After ages we finished our tramp and got taken home.

Paintball again

Last saturday I went to a farm in dairy flat with my friends to play paintball.
It had been raining hard earlier that morning so as i was walking down the muddy drive I lost my shoe and stood in the mud with my sock. And these werent cheap crappy shoes from the wharhouse. No these were $200 Lakai's from underground skate. They were old anyway but still it made me sad. Once we got down to the barn everyone (about 20 of us) geared up and divided into teams. We had one team starting behing the barn and one behind the cowshed. Everything was like a usual game until the last one.
Me and my friends went round the side of the main area of fighting to try and attack from behind. It was really muddy so I slipped and grabbed onto a thorn bush cutting my hand. It was to bad a cut so I kept on going me and my friends were sitting on a bank until an enemy ran up and jumped behind a peice of ply a few meters from us. He yelled surender and I said ok because he could have easily shot us from a gap in the ply I got up put my hands above my head and started walking back to the base. Then he shot me in the shoulder. Later I found out it was one of my friends dad.
I better get to shoot him next game!

My Weekend

On friday afternoon Nik and dylan came over to my house to skate my mini ramp. All of us landed some new tricks. So we were happy. We then went to Niks place and stayed the night playing Xbox on a crappy TV. At around 6:30 dylan and Nik woke up. I was pretty annoyed because I didn't want to leave for the skate park until 7:30 at the earliest but they wanted to be there early so that no one could see them do crappy things lol. So we stopped on the way at the warehouse car park and ollied some parking barriers. We then walked to the skatepark and found out it was too wet to skate. Suddenly dylan found out he had lost his little pile of coins and wanted to go back and try to find them. I wanted to stay at the park and wait for it to dry. But they pretty much just ditched me so I had to follow them back. We skated at the palza for awhile but in the end they wanted to go back to play XBOX. nerds

The guitar I might get



The guitar I have at the moment is really crappy and old. It goes out of tune in half a song and, well it just sucks. So I need a new one. I used to be looking at a Epiphone Black beauty
But i found out it was a crappy one from china and that Black beauty's have lots of sustain (the notes ring on for ages) which probably isn't the kind of thing i wuld need.

My guitar teacher bought a Epiphone Zakk Wylde Les Paul custom from America but he never plays it because he has a better guitar (Ernie Ball music man Axis) which is good for everything. So I might be getting that. Its an awesome guitar but its gonna be really expensive.

My first ollie down the scary steps

The three set got bigger as I rolled up to them. 'Your gonna fall' cried the little voice in my head. I quickly put my foot down and skidded to a halt.'Chicken' laughed the same voice that had told me to stop before. I hate that voice. It always gets me phsycked up and then shatters my confidence like a hammer through glass. I need to get rid of that voice. I need to not think. I pushed twice trying to forget about what I was doing, trying to hold the barrier that protected me from the voice that would make me fail.

I popped my tail, cleared the steps. My board stuck to my feet and landed perfectly on the dusty tiles that were success

T.A.C.O

The year was 2059. We were only 3 years into the War. The War against the New World Government (NWG). Ever since the discovery of the T.A.C.O, the world was never the same. The days were darker, the wars were fiercer, and poverty flourished everywhere you looked. Destruction. Chaos. Death. That's the only way I can describe it. Education had been abolished in nearly every place in the world. But not here. Not at Whangaparaoa College. It was one of three of the last schools in the world, and I happened to be lucky enough to go there. Of the 16,000 students that were at the school last year, only 11 students other than myself remained. The rest had all perished in the first mass T.A.C.O explosion. The weapon was rightly named the Teacher And Child Obliterator, because that is exactly what it did. Little did I know that today, the second bomb would be unleashed.

Chapter 1

Faster. I had to run faster! I can't believe I slept in again! The hover-jeeps were closing in behind me, and I had a gut feeling that they were going to catch me at any second. I was only about 50 metres from the secret entrance to the school, but keeping the whereabouts of the entrance secret was more important than my life. I had to lose them first, all the while trying to avoid the hand-held TA.C.O rays. I just had to keep on running in circles. All I had to do was let them lose sight of me, and then make a dive into the large oak trees. That's what I did last time. Lets just hope it will work again. I sprinted around the corner, and then I made my move. I dove to the left, grazing my knee on the sharp bristles of the trees and bushes. I crouched down in between two large tree trunks and behind a bush. I could hear the jeep slow down, and as I peeped through the leaves I could vaguely make out the NWG logo. The jeep was only hovering a few inches above the ground now, and was going about 5 kilometres an hour. I sat there for what felt like an eternity, with my heart pounding in my throat and my ears straining for any trace of sound for more jeeps. There was nothing except the rustling of the trees to be heard, so I got up and straightened my uniform. Phew, that was close! I walked out on to the dusty road and made my way towards the third bush on the left of the largest oak tree. I pulled apart the shrubbery and felt around for the metal handle that would open the trapdoor. As my hand enclosed around the cold, hard object, I pulled towards me and the trapdoor it the dirt beside me with a loud clang! I scrambled down the long ladder, the darkness around me swallowing me whole. I hit the ground with a thud, and looked around at the dimly lit corridors and rooms that were made out of titanium. I didn't want to think of what Madam Bullwich would do to me if I strolled in late for the second time in 2 weeks. All I knew was that it would be bad. Really bad. I decided I would just face what ever she had in store for me, and hope that she didn't make me wish that I had gotten blasted to oblivion by the T.A.C.O rays. I slowly crept around the corner, praying for the slim chance that I could slip into class unnoticed. But before I could even take a look at my class mates I heard a "FREDERICK BAKER!!!!" And there she was. The long-nosed, grey-haired, hunch-backed old lady with a prison warden voice. "Where the hell have you been," she yelled "and why are you covered in leaves?!??!??!!!" Every part of me was shaking, and managed to mumble something about sleeping in and the NWG. I could see the relief in her eyes that I had made it here safely, but this wasn't going to water-down m punishment. "You are going to write a 6000 word essay on why you can not sleep in during these times, and what will happen if you get yourself caught by the NWG!" I thought I was the luckiest 14 year old boy in the world (and I probably was right)! She had let me off so lightly! Last time. . . . . . . I don't even want to talk about last time. I was about turn around to sit down at my desk when Madam Bullwich added "and then you shall eat it." It felt like a stone dropped into the pit of my stomach. We had run out of flavoured paper yesterday. BANG!

Top 10 Things to do at the Shopping Mall

10. At the bottom of an escalator, scream "MY SHOELACES! AAAGH!"

9. At the stylist, ask to have the hair on the back of your knuckles permed.

8. Ask a saleswoman whether a particular shade of panties matches the color of your beard.

7. Sneak up on saleswomen at the perfume counter and spray them with your own bottle of Eau de Swanke. (Also repeat using Squirty Cheese, A Fire Extinguisher or Mace if desired.)

6. Collect stacks of paint brochures and hand them out as religious tracts.

5. At the pet store, ask if they have bulk discounts on gerbils, and whether there's much meat on them.

4. Hand a stack of under-pants back to the changing room attendant and scornfully announce that none of them are "leak proof".

3. Ask appliance personnel if they have any TVs that play only in Spanish.

2. Try trousers on backwards at the Gap. Ask the salesperson if they make your butt look big.

1. Show people your driver's license and demand to know "whether they've seen this man."

Top 20 things to do in a drive through

1. Drive through the drive-thru in reverse and let your passenger order.

2. Ask the price of almost everything on the menu and then order something that you didn't ask the price for.

3. Tell the employee that your window is broken. Order and then pay with your door open. When the food comes, roll down the window and snatch your order from their hands.

4. Go to McDonald's and demand a big breakfast at 11:30 at night. Put up a fight.

5. Pay for a large order in pennies.

6. Drive in circles around the drive through, ording just one item of your order each time you pass the window. For added fun, change clothes, hairstyles, glasses and fake beards with each pass.

7. When asked if they can take your order, tell them you are just window-shopping and drive on.

8. Leave a big 4 litre bottle of ketchup on your dashboard. When asked if you would like ketchup with your meal, laugh sadistically for a few seconds, then adopt a serious expression and gesture to the bottle on your dashboard.

9. Ask the cashier how they fit into that little box.

10. Drive up to the window. Then, without saying anything, produce a tape-measure. Measure all aspects of the window, make a note of the measurements in a notebook, then drive off.

11. Demand to speak to the manager. When they come out, complain that you did not like the way the employee said, "May I take your order?"

12. When asked if they can take your order say, "No." Then wind up your window and just sit there staring straight ahead.

13. If they ask you to wait, order anyway and keep doing it till they yell at you.

14. Order 10 large milkshakes. When they arrive, get out of your car, open the bonnet and pour 9 of the milkshakes into the oil filler. Place the remaining milkshake onto the pavement, and stare solemnly at it for three or four minutes with your head bowed. Then drive off. Circle the block for 1 minute, then drive back and do it again.

15. When asked to pay for your order produce a huge bucket of pennies. Attempt to hand the heap of change to the cashier, but 'accidentally' drop it all over the pavement. Spend 10-15 minutes picking it all up, then when you have collected it all, pay by credit card.

16. Attempt to barter for your food. Offer CDs, Cassettes or anything else you have in your car (including friends and family members).

17. Don't order when they come on. Just sit there. If a line forms behind you, get out of the car and cause a scene.

18. When they hand you your food, hand them a bag with all the trash from your car in it.

19. Just stare at them when you pay and get your food. Don't break your stare.

20. Honk your horn the whole way through the line.

10 things NOT to say to a policeman

Hey, you must'a been doin' about 165 kph to keep up with me! Good job!

Sorry, Officer, I didn't realize my radar detector wasn't plugged in.

I thought you had to be in relatively good physical condition to be a Police Officer.

Excuse me, but is "stick up" hyphenated?

Hi Officer, do you mind holding my beer while I find my driver's license?

You know, I was going to be cop, but I decided to finish high school instead.

"Bad Cop! No Donut!"

I was trying to keep up with traffic. Yes, I know there are no other cars around, that's how far I am behind the other cars.

You're NOT gonna check the trunk, are you?

Didn't I see you get your butt kicked last week on "COPS"?

I bet I could grab that gun before you finish writing my ticket.

So, uh, you "on the take" or what?

Gee, officer! That's terrific. The police officer yesterday only gave me a warning too!

Do you know why you pulled me over? Good, at least one of us does.

Hey is that a 9mm? That's nothing compared to this .44 magnum.

100 kph in a 60 kph area? Could you put down 120? I'm trying to sell the car."

Favourite trucks





The coolest trucks you can get are krux. They have the awesomest patterns. Like ones that look like wood or polka dot ones or ones that look like an old cardigan pattern. h

Louie Barletta

Louie is a pro skateboarder. He is THE MAN. He has such sick style which is why he's awesome. Hes really good at tricks like hippy jumps and cave mans. He is sponsored by Enjoi skate decks, krux trucks and pig wheels.
Look at this video and see how good he is.

Food

i have no idea what to blog about so I'm am going to tell you about food.

My favourite foods are pizza, butter chicken, Chinese stir fry, fish n chips and milk.
Milk is so nice and yummy because it has a good texture and it tastes better and is not boring like water. The best milk is full fat milk. The worst milk is the green bottled stuff which is basically water with white food colouring in it. There is absolutely No point in getting that milk because they take all the good stuff out of it. Its like watering down juice and that's just wrong. I tried to drink 2 litres of milk in one go once but I go half way and felt sick. Well anyways milk is good for you and your taste buds so buy milk. And buy the cheapest brand with ugly packaging because milks the same. And don't buy the milk in cardboard cartons because you can't recycle them.

Do cats like water

It was the running of the bulls. 100 raging bulls were let out into the dusty Spanish street. I watched the rampaging bulls anything that tried to hinder their path. As the dust cleared I saw and overfed cat the size of a cow with fake bone horn elephant glued to its head. It looked sad and lonely so I went outside to take a look. I could tell it was a nice cat by the way it was stamping its feet on the ground and staring at me angrily with its evil red eyes. I felt happy that I could give this cat a big hug and make it feel better. I walked up to the cat and stroked it on the head. Al of a sudden the cat turned into a bull and head butted me so hard that I went flying 10 meters into the warm water. 'Oh crap' I thought as I saw the bull follow me into the water. It landed right n my head and everything went black!

I awoke to my best friend slapping me as hard as he could. 'I'm awake idiot' I said. He told me that while I was unconscious the bull had chewed off my arm. I wasn't worried one bit. It would grow back with some of the miracle cream one of the student doctors was going to selling me for a bargain of $100 a tube. It smells a bit like Vegemite and gravy but I know that its just the magic trying to heal me.

Oogle the leaf man

Luke's crazy and kind weird. He always wants to have fun and make everyone laugh no matter what. He does strange like take leaves and dress up as Oogle the leaf man. He knows tons of jokes and likes to share them with any one. He knows the best ways to creep people out. He does strange things like eating leaves for pretty much no reason. He doesnt care what people think of him, he just wants to have a good time. Luke made a song called the magic taco which is the randomest thing I've ever heard. But it is so funny because he sings it like a tard.

My lil sis

My little sister is very annoying and bossy. She is absolutely obbsesed with animals especially dogs.
She always likes to be in control and sometimes has an anger spazz when she isn't. She likes to have a job that helps people and wants to feel like shes grown up. She has a really strong opinion about things that most children her age (8) wouldn't even think about. She likes to sing and dance and is actually quite good at it. When she grows up she wants to marry a farmer guy called Dean who wears jeans and hawaian shirts.

The Day I went splat (dont worry this wasnt actually me so dont cry)

I all ways wanted to see how far I could fly, so one day I asked my bike sponsor to build me a ramp and shove it at the bottom of a humungous hill. If all went as planned I would break the record for longest BMX bike jump.

Finally the day arrived. I stood at the top of the hill and looked down at the hundered or so spectators. The clock struck one and I went down... the hill. Half way down I realised what the consequences would be if I mucked this up. All of a sudden I didn't want to fly anymore but a little voice told me to keep going. If I chickened out I would look like a complete loser, I would have complete humiliation for the rest of my life.

I went up the ramp, everything went into slow motion. I watched the stunned faces gasp as soared by them. I rapidly realised that I couldn't take the collosall impact that was waiting for me on the hot ashfelt. All of a sudden my bike slipped out from my grasp. The pavement jumped up to meet me. Everything went black.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!My New Shoes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

On Wednesday I went to Underground skate in orewa with My friend Dylan. He was buying a whole new skateboard because his old one is a hunk of $#@! (excuse my french, but that's just the best way to put it). Anyways my dad works in orewa and I rally need new shoes so I went to the skate shop to buy some. There was a big buy 1 get 2 free special thing on which was pretty awesome because I got 2 Pairs of shoes and my dad took the other pair.
The shoes I got were Lakai Carroll for Bubs. Which were designed by Mike Carroll who is an awesome skater, just type his name in on U tube!
My other shoes were DVS's I cant remember the full name at the moment and I cant be bothered walking down the stairs to go and see them. They were tested by another great skater called Jereme Rogers who does pretty insane tricks so check his stuff out on youtube.
Most the people will read this and think I'm crazy about skating (because I am) and you probably cant understand half the things I say and why I care about this stuff. Well I need to do a blog entry otherwise My teacher Ms Wilson will rip my head off. Thanks Miss.

Paintball

PaintBallLast monday I started paintball. Its really really fun and seamus plays it aswell and you get to shoot him!
The picture is of me a few seconds before I got shot in the hip and the neck. My neck was pretty swelled after that.
This is my gun.
The Museum trip

Last friday my class went to the museum. It was way more fun than normal school but all the activities we had to do ruined it.
It was really sad being in the huge rooms covered in the names of the men who died for our freedom. There were so many names!

My favourite part was the Wild Child display.
I learnt that they had all the good lollies we ahve now about 20-30 years ago. Most of them looked really old and moldy though. And I saw a pimped gangsta pram. I think that since the cars werent very good back then they pimped their prams instead. I would have loved to watch PIMP MY BABY'S RIDE on tv.

One of my favourite bands


Disciple

Disciple is a hard rock band froKnoxville tenesee formed in 1992.
Disciple was formed in 1992 by high school friends Kevin Young, Brad Noah, and Tim Barrett. The band released their first CD, What Was I Thinking? in 1995. Disciple was signed by Warner Resound, who produced Disciple's following release.

Disciple have realeased 9 CDs.

My Favourite Skateboard Deck Brand







This is my favouriteskateboard deck brand. They have some pretty awesome and colourfull boards. I think thats the only reason why I like them.
Heres how the are made.
The first step in making a skateboard is selecting the finest maple trees.
After the maple trees are cut and stripped, they are cut down to thin veneers and prepared for laminating.

Each veneer is fed through a gluing machine that applies an even amount of glue.

After the glue is applied to each veneer, they are put into a hydraulic press.
The hydraulic press forms the nose, tail, and concave.

After the veneers come out of the press, they are ready to be drilled and cut.

The molded blanks are then drilled for truck mounting at the desired wheelbase.

The skateboards are shaped using a band saw.

After the decks are sanded, they are sprayed with a sealant. They are now ready for applying the graphics.

The decks are then screen-printed by hand
The decks are put in racks to dry

And thats it
