So I got bored last night and was sick of asking nimby for how to convert between NZD and litres to USD and gallons. Then I found a think on google to do it so I made a simple front end for it.

So at our current fuel price of $USD2.24 a litre (for 98 (92US) octane), that is $USD6.42 a gallon in US measurements. And currently they are paying $USD4.05 a gallon, so we are paying ~$USD2 more than them per gallon.

Holy fucking shit, thats all I have to say.

That concert was fucking mean. Subtract and Dawn of Azazel ^wiki opened for them, pretty mean.

It was me, Joe, my brother, Nick, Shelley and Becky who went.

The lead singer of Dawn of Azazel has a massive tribal goat head (symbol of rebellion) tattoo on his chest and he is a constable in the NZ Police. They tried to kick him out of the force for being in this band just because it has satanic lyrical content and talks about killing the weak. People in this country are wooses. He also said that Children of Bodom were from Sweden, but they’re from Finland. I’ve seen him before moshing at Amon Amarth, and at Oblivion a few times.

Pretty small venue, the Transmission Room. Like 150 (??) people crammed into this tiny room. The mosh pit was crazy. And then Children of Bodom came on. The only songs I can remember them playing was Needled 24/7, Hatecrew Deathroll, and Mask of Sanity (/fav). All of which went crazy. Little circle pits opening up now and then. I’ve never been so squished in my entire life.

And poor Becky, the look on her face. I’m sure she’d never seen anything like that before. But she was still getting in there and moshing with everyone. Was a little bit embarassing when my hand was squished against her boob by a wave of people hahaha. She was cool about it tho. Afterwards when we were all sitting in BK she was like “holy fuck you’re all a bunch of freaks, never again” rofl.

And there was some guy behind us who kept chanting “Tits, out, for the boys, Tits out for the boys”, so annoying, I so wanted to turn around and punch him in the face… but he was kinda big. Jerk.

Every time a song started you’d just get pushed and thrown from one side of the pit to the other, coming across your mates every now and then. Shelley was loving it getting in there and shoving people (what she does best lol). Hardly even saw my brother, Joe was standing off to the side cos he was a bit sick from the mould in his room at home . So most the time it was just me and Nick, and then it occasionally Shelley and Becky would turn up.

By the end of it I thought I was going to vomit from exhaustion (and the only thing I’d had to eat was a Red Bull). Everyone was just soaked in sweat. You could even see sweat and vapour dripping down the walls, and probably off the roof too. Was siiiick. I wonder if they even had the Aircon turned on.

Then as everyone left the streets of Auckland become over run by bogans and metal heads. Everyone else is like what the fuck as these rowdy cunts cruise down the footpaths, stopping occasionally to thrash out a drunken or stoned metal riff on their air guitar. In the middle of the road.

So just had some BK and then went home. Fucking mean night.

I’ve read a story about how cannabis tops the list of illicit drugs sending people to hospital (see also: this and the public veiws on that).

Cannabis use is causing more admissions to publicly-funded hospitals than all of the other illegal drugs combined, a police drugs specialist has found.

373,310 people (83% percent of whom don’t use regularly) use cannabis, 143,280 people (51% of whom don’t use regularly) use drugs other than cannabis. So thats under half (38%) the amount of that people use drugs other than cannabis.

More cannabis user than any other illegal drugs combined = more cannabis-related admissions that any other drug combined.

Well, that sucks, George Carlin died today at age 71 of a heart attack…Here’s a few of his videos:

Also, Judas Priest are coming in September with Cavalera Conspiracy!!!

But tickets are $150!!!

It could be my first and last time to see Max and Igor Cavalera (Soulfly and Sepultura) playing, and would be so fucking mean!!!

But $150 is just too much, Judas Preist aren’t that great, and its at the Vector Arena which is kind of shit. Jason at work paid $150 for First Class I-can-taste-their-sweat tickets to Iron Maiden so… yeah.

Think I’ll have to give it a miss eh…

So I am on a town bash at the moment, dunno why. Not that great – just the compnay I guess lol. Went out Friday night with Troy and Hollie, Hollies friend Cat (Kat?), and Becky and Shelley.

I was sober driver (cos I don’t drink anyways) so we all piled in the van and cruised into town, parked at work. Stopped at the burger place. Shelley and Becky took off for the waterfront and we headed to Oblivion.

$10 cover charge cos there was a band playing, turned out to be Troy’s workmate. Then Boric turned up, then THEY PLAYED DETHKLOK! Was mean, I was wearing my dethklok shirt (still am ), so high fives all round and moshed out to that haha!! Everyones looking at us like wtf is this shit.

Silly people from Real Life

Then Shelley and Becky turned up and there was more dancing, played some Pantera and some System and Walk With Me in Hell. Was badass… most of the other songs were pretty woosy tho.. little bit disappointed.

Then Troy, Hollie and Kat (Cat?) took off home by taxi, and me and Shelley and Becky went for a lurk to see if there was anything to steal/vandalise/break into lol. Those girls are trouble I tell you especially when drunk. Shelley is so funny when she’s drunk, and a bit softer too haha (pls don’t hit me). And Becky is just quirkier than normal. Laughs all round.

Hey I think I just saw lightening..!?

Anyway, then we tried to go to Mount Eden (to freeze our asses off in the cold wind) but it was shut so just came home.

Then last night I went up to Zac’s place with Skinny and Co-oped Guitar Hero 3 Took my guitar so was all wireless baby! Yea. Was mean.

Hey I think I just saw lightening again….

So I was thinking just before, all these movies that get pirated and stuff and all the MPAA or whatever try to sue people for copying their movies.

This was while I was reading the wiki page for 10,000 BC and I see the budget was $105 million but the gross worldwide revenue was $268 million. So they got $168 million for doing that movie. And this is a movie that got rated poorly.

That is quite a pretty penny, of course it has to be distributed amongst all the actors/writers/directors etc, but seems like they’d be living comfortably off that.

So I wouldn’t feel guilty pirating that movie. And thats $168 million from cinema’s alone, so there is still all the rentals, and the DVD purchases for the many many people who do buy DVD’s. It still feels cheap to give someone a copied DVD as a gift for a birthday or christmas and stuff.

So I think they should stop being so greedy.

Wow, so just found a place that was selling COB tickets for $62 each! Normally they are $80! So I bought 8 of them

Hopefully my friends actually come so I can sell them to them haha… got rid of 6 already.

Should be mean!

Edit: I should have bought another 4

This morning I woke up on the couch and Becky was pouring water on my face. Hardy-ha-ha always the joker eh… lol.

Went back to sleep and this random as dream. Don’t know where it was, maybe america somewhere. Me and Lilley were working(?) there for some reason. It was a place that looked like a cross between an office and a kitchen, but most people were playing games like UT.

Anyways there were some drinks or something and everyone was getting trashed and I think doing mushies. Was pretty fun. Could’ve been a representation of IRC perhaps?

I think someone spiked Lilley’s and she was getting a bit messy, then it was time to go and I ended up looking after some random chick and some dude was looking after Lilley. I was watching her incase that was the dude that spiked the drink but she looked with it and like she knew him so I didn’t worry too much.

We had to walk back through this forest place path thing the girl I was looking after got picked up and I came accross Lilley alone in the forest thing. I was like “Who the hell would just leave you alone here?”, and walked off with her.

That’s pretty much all I remember…

Had no friends cos Nick and Brad went out west to some party, I didn’t wanna go out there. Would’ve been shit.

So I went to my parents to drop off some stuff and along the way stopped in at Becky’s where Shelley was. They wrote this list thing of all these things to do, random as shit. Went and got a feed, got some sand (it was on the list). Seriously those chicks and liquor makes for some soul-cringingly quirky times, jeez.
