This may be a slightly drunken poswt, but should be coherent enough to understand all that is wholly, and undeinably important: fact is, I'll break it down into chunkable sizes easy enough to swallow with your morning coffees, because as I'm typing this at night you, my friends and avid readers, are reading in the morning. Well at least I hope someone is reading...haha! To last week,and all its strange happenings and revolations!!
Monday: Monday was fun, fine, and fun. I rang up work, gave some bullshit story that I was ill, throwing up. So it was a gd laugh, me and hostel boys took down to the nearest park with football, and played until our hearts were fulfilled, and till ur legs killed enough. B4 that however, I had rung up trailfinders and got an extension on me stay.
After footy, took to a cafe to get free water and a bus to coogee beach pulls up, this week i fortunately remembered my trunks and took off guns blazing, for water and sand recovery, with ken kesey to keep me company. The water was freezing, their was millions of bluebottles jellyfish waded onshore, washed up from the hard, fast waves that were crashing into the rocks, even big blue bottleshish were being reluctant;ly dragged ashore.
Tuesday: Work; work has been a complete drag this week, with wet days, and downpours leaving me cold and wet whilst trying to gather enough mental willpower to sale my product and maintain a cheery face, all but fake.
Wednesday: Made sale. But still raining here and there. Phone out of battery, so had to take off, work boys waited for me awhile; found out mario would bring this up later in week. My hand swelled up to size of balloon in day as touched something had reaction too. Also a late night speech from salesman who had done well in company, three different people, very strong-willed types who were trying to reflect their hard-work, never-give up ethos into us. So was a late night back from work.
Thurs: Got to lay in a bit more because out late night b4. I was real motivated after sppech and worked my nutas off, only to get no sales. I was rained upon, dryed up in sun later, and then 30mins before day finished, rain came and soaked once more, an unhappy wet day. After work was fun tho, went to cool bar with work guys got some beers and then to Kellys in newtown, where it was karoake night and met friends from hostel; the usual: got drunk and sang songs.
Friday: This is the day fireworks really went BANG!!
The first half the day was bad - cops all over train, which i usually get student tickets and stuff. I spilt green tea all over work clothes, so I ddint think it was gonna be great day. then out of nowhere got txt from brissy friend, Monique, she was the girl I mentioned I met out at a club with the swedish guys, a month or so back. She told me she was coming to sydney but I completely forgot. She invited me to this real fancy dinner party, for charity, that was part of her work-do, but she still had ticktes for it.
So I was in bit of dilemma getting ther for work and such. So I had just started out in the field, in N.strathfield when I left, without telling work-mates, they throt I was still working. Came back to Newtown, tried to sort out painful IBS, got haircut new shirt and shaved, showered, made myself look real dapper! Meanwhile ringing up boss giving some story how I had injured my foot, which I really had, I was limping on thursday, and my workshoes had really cut into my foot! But anyway, I said I had to go and pretended to be on train. Mario didnt sound too happy.
Anyway got bus into city and was gonna get another bus, but wudda been hard and was running bit late, the dinner was on other side of harbour bridge. So quickly grabbed cab. It was a real fancy do, with waiters , 20 tables about 100ppl. Champagne, red + white wine, cascade beer, 3 course meal. It was nice to catch up with monique, apparently her friends thort i was well kl, convo with her seemed a bit stilted tho, I was a bit nervous, understandably! bUT WAS still charming as always.
There was speeches for Katoake village, it was all money raised for charity, there were slideshow pictures of progress in katoake, such as they had built school and house and such; and pictures of the tanzania people, looking deprived but happy cos of the great work done. They were selling, fluffy animals with port included. Their was even a U2 tribute band called Achtung Baby, the singer looking just like Bono.
Then the auction took off, holidays, cases of beer all sorts of great and not-so-great things were being auctioned off in a very flamboyant style. There was a painting that was auctioned; I made the first bid, as kind of a jioke, just to get it rolling, expecting a bid from someone else. The auctioner looked around giving it a good blast "ITS worth MORE THAN A HUNDRED BUCKS FOLKS!!" - and I jst sat back in fright and anxiety as no-one else bid, and ha! the picture was mine, I stole a glance at Monique, she gave me a "what-the-hell" look. Anyway the picture was mine, the dinnewr soon came to end, we all strung onto streets, drunk, me with a massive picture attached to my back. The thying I really feel guilty for is when they gave me form to fill out for pic, I gave them wrong C.card details and wrong contact no.! I feel bad now, becos it was for charity. And I still got pic. We went back to moniques hotel where we left pic and laid about for a bit.
Then took her out to K.cross to meet hostel friendas, we didnt stay for long and went back to hostel. Monique seemed to moaning conastanly since leaving dinner, so was a headache. That night, I got free beer, wine from dinner, more free drinks from club in k>corss that josh(mate) bought, and free beer from hostel - but still spent quite a bit -moastely on taxis, here and there. So got monqiue taxi back and I kept drinking till sunrise with hostel friends. I put on music and collapsed later after too much beer. Woke up to boss tring to ring me.
Saturday: was a rewal great day again. woke up at 4:30. Monique came over and elivered picture. We had a nice coffee and had great talk, it was much better than night b4, really had great convo and gd fun, we are walking down street and Im saying hi to all the bouncers from the clubs that I no, and their treating me like Mr popular all infront of a very impressed monique. She then took me to cinema to see watchman film, not great, Iw as falling asleep and such. So we left said goodbaye, and she got taxi back. I have this great big painting of Venice and I dnt no what to do with it!!!!!!!!!
So then chilled and listened to this greek guys music all nigtht, as he had it on laptop and this gd speaker, whcih we got great sound out of!
SUNDAY: Today, sweet. ANother great day. Just catching up on sleep and then went to this reggae festival, which was a like a local shenagin that all the alternative-hippie-funky ppl of newtown go down too. Really it was just a few Djs playing some dancy-reggae tunes. There was black-guy all dressed up as a blonde woman, caliming he was pamela anderson, and her/his boyfriend was this ginger, shaved hair guy who was completely out of it on something! As he was turned on by this freakish character! But the beats were real nice and bassy, and was fun with hostel girls.
Anyway think ill be able to get siome picts from meal onto facebook, ill try and post em'up here if can.
Also I rang mario today, he was upset about friday, and I have to meet Mark, big boss, the one who hired me, for real early meeting tomos morn so best get some sleepy. Ill retire with ken kesey again, ONE FLEW OVER THE CUCKOOS NEST - a perfect read for newtown!!
Anyway, I hope eveyones great and dandy, mcuh lovexxxxxxxxxxx
