So hello everyone who follows, I'm currently in a place called Byron Bay which is about 13 hour straight drive from Sydney north up the east coast. I'm only staying here for a week because I need a job quickly to counteract all the money that I have been spending since being here. Well the last time I wrote was on Friday evening here and the next morning I woke up and played basketball with one of my roommates. He had seen the court before and asked me to head up there with him and I was more than eager to get my chance to hoop some cats. Now we arrive and there is already a game of 3 on 3 going on so me and John see if we can get in a game, of course we are accepted and after a little stretching I join the game. We start out and after taking one missed shot I start out balling these cats, I mean hitting turn arounds, my spin fade move is out of this world, and droppin dimes(assists) like you couldn't believe. FIrst game we win final score was 10-7 , yea who plays to 10, and I easily scored half of the team points and quickly turn into a go to kind of guy. Since the game was so close they decide to play same teams and this time we really smoke them and finish off at 10=4. Naturally they want to switch teams up and the two next best guys, yup I am domination, want to be on the same team because they are friends and I'm stuck on a team with the worst guys on the court. My whole team is smaller than me and they're whole team is bigger than me, with a guy about 6'3" guarding my simple 5'10" frame, at one point who says to a teammate GUARD YOUR MAN I GOT HIM, I laugh and say no you don't and scored. Ballin!!!!!!! The score was 4-4 playing up to 7 and I had scored all 4 points myself, blocking this 6'3" guys shot at least 3 times, I was always finding open teammates but they could never finish and I told them we are going to win because we've made all these mistakes and still are tied with them while we basically just played good D and they would only score off put backs when I wouldn't get the rebound. So I'm on the wing, I'm just grabbing the ball off a long rebound and the defender hasn't stepped up yet. I'm gallop towards the hoop just thinking I'll go straight up, shimmy the ball a little in the air and just take a layup. Two other guys run over to help so I got 3 guys trying to jump with me as I go up, woooosh first guy is just up in the air but he knows he can't block me, second guy is behind the first just getting in peoples way, and the third guy actually sandwiched me while I was in the air but still I manage to form a shot and place it off the backboard and its GOOOOOOOOODDDDDDD!!!!! My feeling off accomplishment was quickly taken away from me as coming down I landed another guys foot and twisted my ankle the worst it has ever been twisted. F*********#############KKKKKK I scream as I immediately fall straight to the ground and try to stand up to walk it off and fell right away again. I'm out, I'm done I tell them and this brings me to where I am now. A huge fat ankle with swelling and bruising still on my foot and since I left Monday for my surf trip I spent Saturday and Sunday in bed and walking with 2 crutches. Seriously couldn't walk on it and about 10 hours after it happened, and I took a cab back from the outdoor court, My ankle swelled up to 2 times its normal size. So Monday after a 6 1/2 hour bus ride to Mojo it was my first time walking on it without crutches and lets just say for the past week I have surfed every morning and afternoon and my ankle hasn't had the opportunity to get any better. So at this surf camp you wake up at 7:30, eat at 8, so I wake up at 7:59, surf right after breaky and I would just snag rides from the guys to and from or it's about a 15 minute walk. We didn't really get much lessons you just kind of jump in the water and they tell you the technique of popping up on your board but other than that its just you on the waves. Paddling on the surfboard is one the most tiring things to do and you always have to do it. So long story short I can stand up on a surf board sometimes, can't really ride the waves to the side like you see the professionals doing, but I can ride them in to the beach. My ankle was really holding me back as I was grimacing sometimes while trying to jump up on my board, also wet suits are very tight physically. At night we would just sit around campfires getting pissed(drinking) and having a lot of laughs, saw a lot of bare ass cheeks and mine is on a couple of peoples camera as well, sorry mama. Well the week went by fast, there was about 40 of us, the instructors were your typical care free, fun loving people that would just say some of the most outlandish things. Dishes every night is decided by some sort of game and is different for example first night was an intense game of Jenga, second night was some sort of a Relay Race where it gets a little bit more raunchy with shotgunning beers, 5 sex positions displayed with a 3 hump minimum, clothes on, spinning around a rake 15 times and finishing off with a fast eating contest. The night I was on show they gave each team a balloon, there was partners that represent each team, we would break up into 6 teams, me and a female went up when they asked for volunteers. We were the only team that had opposite sexes which proved to be better because the game was sexual position and you were timed to see if you could pop a balloon. First up was two guys and their position was doggy style so the laughs were just exploding out of us. I got reverse wheelbarrow. Well the first day of the tour the book your accommodations in Byron Bay and I decided to stay at a different hostel than the one that they suggested just incase I didn't like anyone on the tour. I ended up having a great time and really enjoy the town of Byron, and booked a flight to Melbourne on Friday the 7th and will arrive in Melbourne to be picked up by my bud River who leaves Monday for a trip to Thailand for a month. So I will be looking for work in Melbourne and have already made a couple of reservations to check out some apartments that are for rent. Rent is about 400 a month but thats like 325 back home or something close to that, and hopefully working in a bar at around 20+ dollars an hour I should be able to find some work to help me pay for that. The hostel I am currently in is really rustic and has lizards, and yellow necked turkeys running around, I hear has dangerous spiders and snakes, and wireless in the room for 10$ a day. I just bought a steak with mushrooms and salad for my dinner that I will prepare tonight, yea I started to cook because its cheaper, and just am enjoying relaxing as I have the time too. Well everyone I need to know any good songs I need to download or if there's anything I am missing. I see Obama is expected to landslide but we will see what the voter does when he gets into the both. PEACE

James Jordan! Way to carry the team and then to take one for them! The surfing sounds fun. Hope you find a job soon I'm sure with your personality and a Kathy pinkett resume you should have no problems.
james?
cooking?
new man
i like where this is going
I am sure you were able to manage the surfing and will get on a board again. After all, when you were 12, you got on water skies and everytime you started to fall down you were able to get back to the standing position whie at fast speeds. Be safe - you are definitely having James kind of fun
