this weekend..
Well this weekend, it was getting back to family and traditions. Last night, Saturday night, I went out to Elko Speedway to watch the stock car races with my family. I've done this since I was a baby, and then just about every weekend when I was 12 until I graduated from HS. It's always interesting though, and it felt good to get back to something ( Read more... ) -

Valentine's Day
First, I'll start of by saying, "Happy Valentine's Day," to everyone who has a partner at this moment. For those of us, who don't, I hope you had a good day anyways. My flatmates wished me a Happy Valentine's Day, and it was relatively easy to get through, being that NZers don't seem to celebrate commercialised holidays quite as big as in America, ( Read more... ) -
Rainy day in Wellington....
I hope I don't jinx the absolutely beautiful weather we've been having in Welly, but here's a poem I wrote about Wellington in the winter....
Rainy Day in Wellington
Raindrops dance down the granite staircase,
car windows steam up on Taranaki Street,
unsuspecting umbrellas disembowled by the untamed Southerlies,
sea salts intermingle with the mist,
