Myspace Memoirs:

Appin Laura:

The original Deity/heiress/groupie of the wollongong bodyboarding fraternity turned Sydney scene queen fashionista. Appin Laura started off with humble beginnings as a slender 16 year old when i first met her dating my brother at his secro wollongong house or otherwise known as "smash pad" - to the travelling south coast crew who would descend upon its location every wednesday night. After causing a few dramas between the fellas who aspired to snavel a quick pash with the infamouse Laura Ford she seemed to have been banished from the Bodyboarding scene until latching on to an up and coming Ryan "saddog" mattick. Throughout the years she proceeded to razz up a few other Bodyboarders on her path to destruction before she was of the legal 18+ age bracket. The name "Appin Laura" originated from her place of residence whom was found out one morning after a well known Wollongong bodyboarding filmmaker (some may say hes Crazy) offered politely to drive her home after a big wednesday night. Appin Laura swiftly lied about her residence the night before saying she only lived in Thirroul, however to the shock horror of the fellows realisation Laura actually lived in Appin which was by all means no quick easy latenight/pash and dash/wed nyt/chick razzing/drop off mission. I would have given atleast $78 (my current bank balance) to be a fly on the wall of that car the moment she told him of the treck he eventually had to make.

A North Coast Chrissy:

After the passing away of my grandfather in october My dad decided to have a christmas away from home just with our family. I have to admit the idea of a family vacation when your 24 does seem a little bizarre and immature. Nevertheless it was an all expenses paid trip so being the low budget kinda guy i am, i totally through myself straight on that Jet Star air bus. It was totally the most relaxing 5 days ive endured all year after a busy uni season which started in early January. My days in Queensland consisted of: Early morning Dbah/Fingal sesh, snooze, breakfast, spy on babes from our 18th floor balcony, lunch, reading, ipod, late arvo kirra bash. Despite the amount of babes that flaunt and occupy the vicinity that is Greenmount beach, the best part was totally our hotel location. Every night just before dark i would run across the beach out to kirra which was easily visable from our balcony. It was epic being able to tell when the superbank lineup had died down to a minimal load of less that 50 people and i would run out. What shocked me most about the gold coast is everyones sickening tans. Like fair enough these people have good weather are warm water practically 365 days a year, but as if you wouldn't totally just look after yourself. Even half the babes i spotted had this sickening dark leathery tan that just made them look so unappealing. Check the photos. One - russ taking a shot of me at Kirra from our balcony, the other the typical sickening gold coast tan. blahhh

Ad Quinn Pick up Tip Number 50#

Ok so its coming up to the grueling, hectic, busy time of the year known as summer/Christmas holidays. In my thoughts its the perfect opportunity to apply for new job prospects and some casual work. Now when planning your attack for some summer time cajsh work dont let the idea of finding some healthy sun tanned babes delude you. In searching for that new summer workplace i was trying to think of the type of work that would allow me some ok pay, something pretty cruisy and ofcourse the opportunity to meet rad holiday females. The usual jist of coffee shops and restaurants swarmed my mind initially. However a conversation with former uni friend Soraya (who spots some babelike features herself) regarding her new workplace, sunddenly derailed all other ideas, it was perfect - so original, so delish. A new Ice Creamery had just opened in Husky and she had just got work their suggesting i should try and do the same. Ofcourse... why didn't i think of that first. Despite the amount of little kidlings i would have to serve who else purchases ice creams, bikini babes fresh from the beach do.. thats who. Needless to say within a day or so of this conversation i had whipped up a resume and trotted over to meet the owner. All seemed swell until he questioned as to why a 24yr old wanted work at an ice cream shop... i swiftly alluded to my new profession as a casual teacher and how i needed work over summer... or did i. Anyway Ice Creamery's perfect job prospect for meeting cajsh rad summertime tanned dream babes. PHOTO me at the Glasshouse trying to lure babes in dressed as a frenchie.

Best Graduation present:

After graduation on wednesday i quickly dashed home for the prospect of a cajsh fun pipe sesh with the fellas. Some deco sized white wash seemed to be pretruding from target bombie which only enticed the little boy inside me to giggle in anticipation as to what i would find on the other side of jervis bay. Gave Russ a call and told him would be a sweet arvo to run the board cam. That afternoon possibly 6 people out the famous "hour of power" pipe is known for reared its teeth as we all enjoyed some bliss 3-4ft shacks. This shot is of russ paddling out on his board cam and me being an absoloute frothin camero slut hellman. Id love to show you the board cam shots but you'll have to wait til issue 3 of Le Boogie, Russ managed to sell the shots within 20mins of getting home from pipe that night. Sooo fun.

Full Legit Hellman Modsquad Muso:

So the other day fellow aquaintence and self confessed "muso" blogger Morgan Hives and i were chatting rather sheepishly of just how to re-emerge from the so called "neg spiral" state of mind. You know that time or moment of the week when theres pumping waves, your at work, you have a cold, your controlling twenty one 5 year olds and its only 9am in the morning (yes, for me that was last friday).

This is deemed according to most urban dictionaries as the "neg sesh".. see the modsquad blog. If you actually type "neg sesh" into google apparently Dex and Morgs blog comes up as number two.. wild i know.

Anyway back to the story, over coming a neg sesh is quite a hard feat to achieve.. you need to find that balance or some sort of menial task that works for you, everybody is different. These days for me id have to say a solo surf or some downtime reading. This discussion made me think back to my adolescent years though, as a highschool kid the best way for me to relieve my neg sesh tension was through listening to massive ledge Uplifting hip hop from the likes of Jurassic 5. This little clip is proof of just how amazing they are and i was lucky enough to witness such mayhem and euphoria when i saw them in 05.. bullshit, cajsh dudes.
