The Best Gift I got for Christmas was YOU...
I’m still rather beyond words.
Tonight was my last show on the Cubby House Project. Episode number 69 incidentally. I spent the afternoon selling raffle tickets like a penny-whore to everyone at the Boxing Day Bears event this afternoon and then was raced into the studio by Kevin and Cookie.
I asked Kevin and Cookie if they needed help putting the show together over the weekend, figuring...

Storms hit Melbourne on Christmas Day →
A tornado, hailstones the size of golf balls, once-a-year rainfall and wind gusts of more than 100 km/h were among Mother Nature’s Christmas gifts to Melbourne. The SES responded to more than 2500 call for assistance.
After making so much fuss over Australians not...
Above my head is a ferocious summer storm dumping hailstones the size of golf balls.
Merry Christmas to all! Pics to follow.

Performance Evaluation.
Over the last two days I went up to the countryside with my dog to get a good foot forward on job applications and job skills. I am still working at the cafe as a barista, but I need to try things that are more ambitious and challenging.
Overall it has been pretty valuable. I’ve come out of it with a rocking resume and a pathway of things to do,
One activity that I did was I set up an...

The Flinch.
This week marks my recommencement in the job market. I’m currently within the process of writing up a new resume and applying for a whole slew of jobs in a number of different fields.
Writing up a new resume has forced me to focus on my traits and skill sets. Coupled with my failure of the Naval psychological exam, and setting myself on a path to make myself a stronger candidate for when...

Next Week Will be my last Week Hosting The Cubby...
An old banner from our first website.
I established the project in in September 2008, when I was 18. I originally created it for a number of reasons:
Firstly, a few months earlier I finished a night school course in Certificate III Broadcasting (Radio) from the Community Broadcasting Association of Australia and I was itching for a project to do. Back in 2008 there were quite a few more Bear...

Measuring Up: December Edition.
It’s been a little while since I’ve last done one of these. Between September and November I was working on the last of my assignments - consequently I became a little lax when it comes to going to the gym. I’ve been spending the last few weeks getting back to where I was.
In Brief: I’m larger than I was in September, but mostly in a good way.
Let’s start with...

Measuring Up: December Mini-Update
Well, I had my first fitness assessment for a number of months. I need to wait a little bit longer to get all the stats and apply them like I have in the past.
In short, It looks like I’ve gained 6 kilograms since my last assessment. Most of it fat. Bringing me up to 98 kilograms. Keep in mind that I got rather lazy with my work-outs as I finished the last of my assignments for my course...

2011 - In Review
With 2011 winding towards its conclusion I figured it would be a good opportunity to take a look back at some of the things that I have done in the past year and also look ahead at some things I’d like to do in the next year. Props to Noodles and Beef for his yearly review posts, which I’m totally “paying homage” today.
In 2011:

Correlation vs Causation?
Bachelors Degree: 2008-2011
Single: 2008- 2011.
At times I feel that I’m ready to enter into another relationship. But then I think about some of the shit my partnered friends put themselves through and think to myself: “Being single is pretty awesome too”.
I then put on another podcast, grab my knitting needles and start another scarf.
The festive season.
Egg nog? Check. Baileys? Check. Well… I have everything I need to have a Merry Christmas.

It’s Tumblr Truth or Dare time, and I would like it ever so much if you were to play with me,
If I get some good questions or dares, I might just make a video.
