Welcome to the Big Show
Good afternoon planet earth. I have some down time so I decided to update all of my followers on how my life is going. I know you are all super interested because I am more important and cool than you are. Well now that I got that out of the way. What's up? How are you? Well I am doing swimmingly. I just gave a lovely presentation on what makes a good team. It was really swell. My group members were just great hombres and hombras to work with. So that was a great way to spend 6 minutes of my thursday afternoon. A not so great way to spend a chunk of my Thursday will be the Philosophy test I have to study for later. That will be such a bummer. To show you how much of a bummer it will be heres a picture of a dog in a
n alligator costume. I hope that kept you entertained I know it sure did for me. Well continuing on with my wild blog. I am getting ready for a wild adventure weekend. I am going up to Temple Basin to compete in some big mountain competition. I don't know what that is but I hope I make it out alive. My life is just all about danger these next two weeks. Between avalanches at temple, and the reef breaks in Tonga, I hope I make it. But go big or go home that's what I always say. I just don't really wanna go to big. Maybe like a half way between medium and large. That sounds about my style. Anyway good bye internet for now. I will blog about the weekend hopefully on Sunday or Monday. So if you don't hear from me by then, ugh that sucks.

Sanka, ya dead?
Well another adventurous weekend adventure to the town of Queen, aka Queentown. I Had to forgo my Friday departure with the Marys due to a really interesting and really entertaining accounting presentation I had to give Friday afternoon. I was thus destined to wait until Saturday afternoon for Gregory and Jbo to finish licking, kissing, and studying rocks, aka a geology field trip. So Saturday at precisely 5:00 PM we embarked on our adventure. After a nice drive with a few tinkle stops, we had made it to Queenstown. Now the adventure began. Fellow explorers Greg, Chris, Jbo and Dane, along with myself set off to enjoy the vivid nightlife of the Town of Queen. We went to some place that was very questionable, lots of men, very little women. Lots of men talking to other men, lots of men touching other men, like I said questionable. So we left there. We moved on to World Bar. Great place. Got lots of drinks out of tea pots, played some fools in pool for a tea pot, some how lost so we ran away with our tale between our legs, thankfully they forgot so we didn't have to pay. Jbo and Greg were tired from their long and stressful day of scratch and sniff rock stickers, so they went back to the car, to go to sleep, in the car. Dane Chris and myself, decided to live it up, we did. We went around to numerous clubs lookingfor a place to just have a blast, we ended up in Devajo, which I am told means under ground. We danced like weirdos just because and then we decided to to go back to world bar, it was quite lame round 2, so we decided to head back to the car to pitch our tent. So being that we are all adventures/ dont have a lot of money, we decided to pitch a tent instead of doing the logical thing and getting a hostile. We found a nice soft piece of land, in the middle of the Queenstown Rugby field and began the fateful adventure of putting together a tent. If you reference my previous post Adventuretown USA you would know that I have no idea how the hell to put up a tent. So drunk dark tent construction was quite a mess. Right about the time we finished constructing a tent, that had similar qualities to that of the tower of Pisa. We hear these dudes yelling at us. Their words went something like this.
again. We hiked to the top and staked the mountain for america which as you can kind of see to
the left I marked in pee. We then proceeded to hoss down some not super fresh freshies, made a few turns good time. The top of the mountain was really the goal, the powder was just a bonus. But to show you we actually made it here is a picture of me on a rock.
Them: "What the hell are you guys doing?"
Us: "Pitching a tent, what the hell does it look like were doing?"
Them: "You'll be cold as fuck if you sleep in the
re."
Us: "Oh well."
Them: "Fuck that come sleep on our floor."
Us: "Ok!"
So we through the tent back in the car and followed our new friendly friends to their house where we then proceeded to fall asleep in their living room. I was again on the smallest of couchs i.e. mini couch. We were then awoken by some guy who obviously had no idea who we were or what we were doing there. I then answered "your friends found us in a tent, and told us to come crash on your floor." He then answered, "Oh, right, well guard the snowboards.," and then walked off as if it was completely normal for us to be there. So we rallied our troops left a thank you note to our new friends, and walked back to the car. We then piled into the n
ew hoss wagon, and made up to Cardrona, no problem for the previously owned 1995 subaru legacy. We then took cardrona by storm once
Well that's all for now. I have a real sweet video of our mountain top adventure that I will put up as soon as I can! So talk to you soon world. Trev is over and out.

Hot Sloppy Mess
What a weekend. If it is possible to have to much fun, I may of had too much fun. Firstly I made it to my Friday Econ lecture, I know that doesn't sound like fun, and it wasn't at all, but it was the first time I went to the Friday lecture. So school :48 Trev :1 high five! After that fun bit, we eventually rounded up the posse, and crammed into the (insert asian porn name here) and headed off towards Christchurch. Let me tell you the car 2.0 definitely is such an upgrade from 1.0. She ran like 45 year old women who was formally a pretty average marathon runner. Compared to the former edition that ran like Trev. So, this whole boozin in the car law here is awesome. Greg's kiwi host Jareth really wanted to drive so I drove the beast for an hour or so and then let him hop in there. So for about 3 more hours we had some DB's and some furlys and had the greatest car ride of all time. Screaming songs and chinese fire drills great time. I may or may not have hopped out at a stop light and ran across the hood of the car, but you will never know. Eventually we made it to Peter's after a short run in with Johnny lawman. Nothing that eventful happened since we had a sober driver. So we were safe and in peter's flat. We decided to go out on the town. Which is such a process. After waiting like 9 years for a bus ride, we got on and I led a lot of people in some very american sing alongs. Including Star Spangled Banner, as well as a small part of party in the USA we made it to town. Eventually we went to boogie nights, and larger form of Fever club and if you read THIS GUY you'll understand my love of Fever Club. So Boogie Nights was right up my alley. After watching Peter dancing with a quite questionable partner, we left for some other places I'm really not too sure. Made it back to the flat and fell asleep on the smallest of couches ever. So now the day of the game. Woke up around 10 and adventured to Subway to get some 7. 7.80, 7.80 footlongs..... We then got some more Furlys and went back to get ready for some Pre-Pre-Game activities. So at around 1 I cracked my first Furly and the day was off. We were having a blast. We played some games, shared some laughs, did a long pour off the balcony that was messy. I then witnessed the best, most unreal, and definitely most questionable carrot competition. After another brutal bus ride we actually got to the All Blacks game, which was huge since that was technically the whole reason we were in Christchurch. The game was real sick, the All Blacks won, because they are like the best Rugby team ever somehow, and we then adventured onto the town again. After walking with John or michael, I'm not to sure they are twins, either way he got us really lost and walked for like an hour looking for his hostile, we went into the city to rage XhardcoreX! We walked forever not deciding where to go, we didn't go to the Dolls House, we eventually went to My Bar for a little bit, and then settled upon Iconix. Great choice. I was on a stage for like 3 hours going nuts. Once my jam Club Can't Even Handle Me, by my man Flo Rida came on I lost it. That Club Could Not Handle Trev. I had a blast only fell off the stage once, but eventually the night had to conclude. We got a taxi back to the flats and I was once again asleep on the smallest of couches by around 3 AM. The next morning we rounded the gang and headed back to Dundedin, in a calmer, much more boring fashion. But we made it home safe and sound. Great weekend, great time, met some new friends. I am literally having too much fun.
