Busy

Thought i'd better update my blog after a couple of weeks!

The fortune teller in India was right haha, or should i say parrot! So random and every time i think about what was said it makes sense, but then, if i had'nt of heard what he said, would i be doing what i am going to do... the answer is yes. He said that i would go through a life changing event in March, one for the good, and I am guessing that this documentary that i am doing is it! Now i did'nt really think that it would come true at all. I mean, i have had pshycic experiences in my life that has scared the hell out of me but this was a parrot!! The thing that really made me think about what he said to me is that about 3 weeks ago, I woke up one morning and decided I was going to move to England because i was feeling a little down here. I opened my diary at a date that i thought would be possible for me to sell everything and have everything ready and then wrote in it, "Lance to England!" The wierd thing is that about 2 weeks later i got a call asking to film a doco in London and i said i would do it! This is too much of a coincidence, the ticket that the production company booked for me was the exact same date that i had written in my diary 2 weeks earlier!!!!!!!!! To make things even more wierd, he said that i would meet someone before i go overseas that has the potential to change my life forever, i believe i have met this person!!!! Hope the fortune teller was right about everything else haha, because then im going to be rich at the end of the year!!

Been pretty busy the last couple of weeks. Had my wisdom teeth out which was wicked!! The drugs they pump into your body are pretty cool, gota get me some of that haha. I woke up halfway through the surgery and remember saying to the doctor "Im awake" and then i remember nothing haha. So i guess they pumped more drugs into me straight away. All i can remember was the doctor with his hands in my mouth and me trying to speak. Afterwards was cool too because you feel drunk but without the sickness feeling when your drunk. So spent a few days recovering, nothing too bad apart from one day that i had a migrain the whole day and spent sleeping, which i did'nt mind doing at all.

Last weekend i went away with the family and family friends to Russel in the Bay of Islands. In the next two years I am going to own a place on the waterfront of Russell. Its one of those towns with a really nice feel to it. Its something that you cant explain but you can truly feel it inside. Plus it is an absolutely stunning place with the water and beach ahhhhhhh. I love it!! And then the other side of Russell you have a beautiful beach where the sun rises. One morning i woke up at 5.30 am because some dickhead was pumping his music out really loud!! I liked the music so i did'nt really care until they turned it up even louder. Then i got out of my tent and bagan to make my way towards their house to tell them to turn it off and came accross Chris (family friend) who too, was about to tell them off. But somebody had beat us too it and we heard yelling. So i could'nt sleep after that and decided to go for a long bike ride which was awesome. Cycling is such a great thing for the mind. You can think clearly and intellingently haha. So I cycled to the other side of Russell to watch the sun rise over the water and the amazing beach. There were all these couples getting up at the same time to watch the sunrise together which was both depressing for me and made me feel happy at the same time if that is possible. Was a nice atmosphere and a stunning sunrise!! Overall it was a wicked weekend and made me feel something that i havent felt since India which was great. LIFE!

After the Bay of Islands trip i have been working on Shortland Street as a camera ass and then on friday a lighting ass too, guess i can be called "ass boy". It is the greatest feeling having to get up at 4.30am each day and finishing by 8 - 10pm! Long days make you feel like you've done something and then when you get home a nice cold beer really does the trick. Thats the thing about beer for me, I really don't appreciate ice cold beer unless i have actually worked my ass off for it :) Hmmm beer!!!

So now i am getting ready to go to England. My ticket is booked on Monday 13th March. I sold my car today YESS!!, my kayak and air rifle yesturday. Selling some more stuff soon. So i leave in 9 days!! I will be filming a doco for the first 2 and a half weeks and then i will stay on for a while and see what happens. My friend Poos (Julia) has a spare room in her apartment so I will stay with her for a while. When i have finised the doco i will go and visit grandma and auntie belle in Devon. Then, depending on the work situation i will travel to Germany and Switzerland for a short time and hopefully visit family and Elisabeth :) I am going to miss everyone but I will be back. Im still not sure when i am coming back, but one things for sure i will be back in June for Amits next movie. The funny thing is, one of the reasons I am going to stay in England is to find work, but as soon as my ticket was booked i have had work offers coming at me everyday!! Guess it was just a slow start to the year.

Now i am going to a "Animal" themed party as a monkey! So if there is any spelling mistakes i am a little drunk. I don't know anyone at the party apart from Jenifer me who i met at video Ezy last week. So this will be a fun night.
