The Refuge Shelter

What's hippity happening?

I just found my old copy of Midnight Club: LA Remix for PSP and decided to start playing all over again. That is aside from the fact that my original save, almost at 50% completion and with my beautiful Camaro Concept was corrupted. Never mind, I'll have more fun making this file even better.

I decided to get re-acquainted with the music of the game, and like the selection of West-Coast Rap and Hip-Hop, making it my goal to at least manage some of the songs. Through my day of exploring, I'm still looking for 4 of them.

They're surprisingly annoying to look for, but never the less, I will persist.

Ow *bleep*. My neck hurts like a bitch. I'll have to go lay down really soon.
It's been 10 days since my last blog post. I have been out and about, having lots of fun with my friends. Last we went out to the local shopping centre and had a walk around, then went back to y friends place and played lots of football with his new metal goal posts. It was.. almost orgasmic.
Most recently however, was Friday. We had a great day out at a local Golf Club, on their 19 hole, par 3 course. Suffice to say, I was last out of all of us. My most common phrase happened to be either "*bleep*!" or "I hate golf". Never the less, it was still great fun to be out with my mates.
With the amount of videos and pictures taken on the day, I am creating a DVD to give to my pallos for the day.
I'll probably create some exerts of the best bits to show you all later. Thanks for reading. ;)

Sorry for the sickly green colou

It's been quite a while since my last blog post and I'm sorry for that.
Recently I've full of things to do these holidays. I celebrated my birthday on the 20th, as well as Christmas with the family but 5 days later. But most recently I re-rented the game "Shadow of the Colossus" and have found myself absolutely hooked. Again.
The scenery, the music, the graphic designs, the majestic gameplay all work well together to make this more than a game, but rather a work of art.
Even though it is a few years old, it is somewhat a rather inspiring game.
From which, I have decided to take upon myself the creation of a novel, somewhat similar to the events of the game, but different. I'm hoping I'll manage to keep up with it and make something of it at least.

Well, to top the celebration list, I managed to russle up these items for my Birthday and Christmas.

Originally I had written the blog upon my return from the recent sporting event, but my internet prohibited me from posting sooner.

I just got back from a Queensland Roar Football match in an almost ecstatic mood. The Roar have a long history of losing a majority of their home games, and managed to pull off a win with a wonderful last minute strike to win the game. As part of an early birthday celebration, I went down wiht my brother and 5 other mates to watch the game. The opponents were Newcastle Jets. Sadly enough, they managed to score the first goal, putting our spirits down low. But with a wonderful heard by Nicholls in the end of half time to equalise help us get into the mood of things. Late in the 2nd half, a red card for Newcastle followed. Throughout the game, the Queensland support had been crazy, and this red card made everyone extremely excited. We were all screaming at the

Sorry it's been a while since my last Blog entry.
I've had a fun start to my holidays, mostly spent inside my nice cool room.

I am definitely looking forward to tomorrow, which marks the most recent Queensland Roar home game. As part of an early birthday event, I'm going there with a bunch of friends, alongside a camera, so hopefully I'll have some fun snaps as well as being viewable in the highlights. It's happened before, and I exploited the hell out of it to the point that all my friends were laughing at me. In a good way though.

I wanted to know if people still find this blog amusing or interesting. Hopefully I can rock up some more activity in the future and bring some fun in.

Well, GTA4 for PC has already been released, and I've been at home with a brother absolutely obsessed with it. I don't think he can handle the fact that he'll have to wait off a few more days until he'll be able to finally play the game. I for one am definitely looking forward to the game, with the PC Video Editor looking absolutely fantastic. We've already thought of some ideas of what kind of movies to make.
Obviously our laptop's aren't going to handle the game too well, so we've opted to use our better desktop to try. More or less it's going to see a lot of down time with GTA4.
Without even owning the game, I would definitely recommend it. GTA is one of the phenomenal titles of our generation and we must take a hold of it. BUY IT NOW!

Lately I've found myself out job hunting for part time Christmas work. I've already scouted out one area and have given out resumes, with around 2 more places to go in the next day. The thing is, I really want a job. I need some money. I want to be able to buy things within limitation.
But going around giving these resumes is relatively easy. I do not however enjoy those stupid online applications, where they make you fill out questions about yourself. I believe that a person cannot express or represent themselves fully on paper. It's much better when demonstrated in person.
Awaiting an interview, I am wondering what are some good strategy to going well with interviews and handing in resumes. I would assume it's always good to play it cool, but how much is too much?
So far I have gathered these from Australian Men's Health Magazine, and I find it rather helpful, as you could too.
