Its been a long time, I shouldn't of left you, without a dope blog to read too




HO HO HO Merry Christmas and all those other holidays that I have left out which leaves many. I am doing just great down here in Balnarring and have done so many things since I have been down here. Finding time to sit down and blog for an hour has proven to be difficult while facebook and fantasy updating has been pretty easy to do. Speaking of fantasy sports, football is over only to lose in the finals to my good friend Joel who is my old roommate. We both started 0-4 only to come back and his team blew mine out of the water and I benched DeAngelo Williams but even started it didn't matter which lets you know how bad it was.
So James what have you been doing, well I knew you would ask that question so I made up a song in the tune to Run DMC's its tricky...Alright no I didn't but that's the kind of things I have been doing. Down here in Balnarring its a super small town, like 1 class per grade which would be like 20-30 students, and there is like one major shop of each kind. 1 place to fill fuel, buy groceries, buy booze, breakfast, pizza all that stuff. I have spent most of my days waking up, eating a light breakfast and hanging out with Tree, then he takes me to a different national park. I've been to wetlands, and protected areas, that people can just walk on and it has been pretty cool. Just relaxing and thinking to myself and enjoying silence, Tree is a different type of guy that rubs off on me because he just sits back and comes up with some crazy thoughts and I laugh at him all the time. Also the families are just so nice to me and cook food all the time, I eat and eat well. Meat Pies have also become something that I truly enjoy which is basically a little tiny pie filled with different things and my favortie so far has been steak tomato and cheese, soooooooo gooooooddd. I have been hanging out with Australians now too so I have been getting the Aussy accent and different pharses down and I have even been driving. I drive all around actually with roundabouts and left side of the road and turning and all that. I can now drive anywhere in the world.
The weather down here has been alright for a couple days but then it's strating to turn to summer and we have had a couple days in the 80's and on Christmas is was probably around 78 or so and I spent my time in a pool and drinking, and playing on the biggest pool table I have ever seen. I even recieved presents which was very shocking and Rivers family was amazing. His mom and dad are sooooo good to me and so are trees family and they have made me feel very welcome. For Christmas I got a pair of thongs(flipflops), a singlet, some bonds undies(Aussy brand,very snug), and a key chain of a wombat. All in all I would say a very successful Christmas and also the first one I spent away from my family. that was weird but I don't know if it was, I just kind of didn't think about it and if I didn't have such nice people around me than maybe it would be a little different but I had a good time here. I will update the blog more frequently with just some random thoughts from now on and won't keep so much distance. Sorry this is soo short but I feel guilty being on the computer this long because it is a beautiful day, miss everyone and will write again soon
