2006
Well its that time of year again. I haven't posted in AGES so i thought i would do a 2006 wrap up of my year. The year has just gone by so fast and i don't know where the time has gone. I think it happens every year as you grow older. So all the old people say.
Work
I started the year as a jittery Assessment officer in mortgages. I still hold the same title but im Now hold a Tier 1 CAD (credit authority discretion) which means i can basically sign off on application's that fall outside policy. But only up to 400k. This was pretty good as more money and its something they really only give people who have been there a 18 months plus. I also changed teams which I was really worried about but in the end its turned out much better. I love my boss supervisor and people i work with. Ive also developed in managing the team abit. I looked after things while my boss was away and he asked if i wanted to go on the ANZ leadership program. I declined it as its nothing something that i want to do, but i said i would help out with the day to day things. Which my manager loves me for it. My PMR was awesome with the line stating "i can see big things for Christian's career at ANZ" which was written by my manager. So i guess for once my work and career life is going great. Other big people in the office know who i am and say hello to me all the time so i guess thats a good thing. I guess for 2007 my goals are to get my Tier 2 cad ( ONE MILLION DOLLARS) and just get more exposure to big deals. I still wanna leave probably but early 08 and start in sales because thats where the big money is.
Life Lessons.
I don't know if i made it public knowledge to everybody about the trouble that Alex (and me to a extent) got in trouble with the Law for but in june this year. Alex had his court case, he got a 21 month sentence 9 of which is parole so 12 months. This came as a huge shock. I knew about the court date and all that jazz but didnt go as we were all pretty sure he would get off but no he didn't. Ive now been to a few prisons and all i can say is that it was a huge shock. He spent his first two months at a maximum prison (Barwon i think) and my god i hated going there. IT was fucked and i hated seeing alex there and the way he was. First time that i was hugged by him (ever) and he looked scared (we all talk about being tough but that place would make the toughest man look weak). His now been moved to min security at fulham which is really like a holiday, he goes camping, horse riding and the other week they took him to the beach. He lives in a cabin with 4 other dudes where they cook there own food and have cable TV. His doing really good i guess but just soo fucking bored and wants to get out. Its good to go see him though but i cant wait for him to come out.
Social life
Has been pretty regular actually. Been trying to save the coin but it hasn't been happening. The nights I can really remember kinda later in the year have been going out with Matt, Manno and Alain. Good nights both times I guess. Also hanging out and bad nightclubs with chris Deja and martin (when he got back). I cant remember seeing ANY bands this year i dont think? Which is pooor form. I really really prefer going to a quite bar and having a few drinks with close mates now. If i go to the waltzing matilda one more time i might have to blow my brain out with a pellet gun. Also the other good nights have been friday night drinks with work mates. The ones where i say yeah one drink which end up me leaving some bar at 11 FUCKED have also been really good.
Friends
Im having trouble remember shit and i guess i should do this more often when shit happens. The first six months i guess nothing really stood out from the normal. Some crowd and same bat channel? Martin came back from his round the world tour trip and ive just been hanging out with him and deja the last couple of weeks and its been awesome. Also hang out HEAPS with stevan as in july he became my new gym buddy. Which is awesome, he is seriously the nicest, funniest guy ever. He motivates me so much in everything really not the gym. He doesnt like to talk himslef up but his life is sorted and everything. Ive also kinda stopped hanging around with one close group of friends. I guess the reason why is some people but hoes before bros? Also maybe some shit different smell. Its got me down the last couple of weeks because i dont get to see some close mates like paul. I haven't really spoken to him in ages! and his a real good egg. I miss the days of just me him and nathan going to the pub, hanging out at some gig and just taking it easy. All that has really changed and i cant see us doing that again. We do have tickets to NOFX in feb and i hope we catch up but i really dont know if things will ever go back to that.
Cars
After loosing my baby in 05 i had a shitbox and then in the start of year i got a loan and bought a statesman. ITs nice and the main reason i bought it because i can leave it at the station and not have to worry. Its alright to drive, its the biggest cruiser ever being so big and comfy and being a 8 it has some power but nothing to brag about. I was thinking about selling it and trying to find a cheap 20b cosmo but i dont know. Then thinking of a ls1, but have now thought fuck it. I love driving my car and i love how it dosent attract attention. So now im gonna go full out on it and either do a 355 stoker conversion or 383 still have to work out some logistics and all that jazz but it should happen b4 easternats so maybe i can enter it. IVE TURNED INTO A SEMI BOGAN I KNOW BUT FUCK...........no excuse.
Music
Ummmmmmmmmmm fuck why did i do this topic? been listening to ALOT of hip hop latley. Stand out band in that would have to be La Coka Nostra or maybe lupe fiasco. Also NAS's new album is mind blowing to say the least. Nothing stand out punk wise again. Im happy to say its dead. I listen to the classic's once in a while. Apart from that the most played bands on my mp3 list would be Pantera or hatebreed. Or probably mobb deep. hahaah. and NAS. Alot of gangsta rap came out too which has been half decent. The whole southern crunk shit has been good too. Mike jones has stood out HEAPS the same as paul wall and slim thug ahhaah i dont know why i laugh but i love that shit. Also been listening to abit of the modern stoner rock (is that what you call it?)
So that was 06?
Looking foward
2007
- Loose more weight and put more lean muscle mass with a fat percentage of less than 10% impossible maybe but fuck ive come so far in the last 6 months ive been growing heaps (feel my pecks bro)
- Work smarter not harder in my job. Get my tier 2 cad and also MIA accreditation.
- Take my time, i rush at everything i do. My mind some days is going 100 miles a hour and ive been so stressed. But the last couple of days that ive been on holidays ive been taking my time at everything and everything just works out better.
- Save more money. I dont know what i blow the coin on but it all goes and i have to change this. I work in finance for fucks sake! i dont wanna buy a house next year but i wanna save for a big deposit on a house.
- Take things as they come and dont be scared to jump up and grab something when i see it.
- Build my car up (or a car god damm it) to some decent power levels. (my penis is pretty big just thought i better add this in)
- Spend more time with my mum and dad. I take EVERYTHING that they do for me for granted. 24 still living at home not doing shit! (not paying any board either!) they dont care but i dont really even give them the time of day and i treat this place like a hotel (wow the words are even sinking in now)
