Josh Waihi 2.1

Its easy to get into a comfortable place and not move; good flat, good house mates and of course, good friends. You find youself in a routine that you're comfortable with.

This weekend me and the boys went up to Auckland for a bit of a party, we also took the chance to celebrate my birthday prematurely (its on the 24th of June). As any twenty something year boys would do, we hit the town and partied it up on Saturday, had a great night - the stories, well, "what goes on tour, stays on tour". The morning after, or, well, the afternoon that is, we awoke, got ourselves sorted, then they tell me, an hour before hand that I'm going to jump off the Habour Bridge!

So stoked! I entered this competition called IT Rockstar put on by ninetwenty here in New Zealand. Its all about celebrating IT and appreciating the people in it, behind the scenes, who are never normally in the lime light. To enter, I had to submit an application and told them what I did that made me a rockstar. Next came a few weeks of voting by the public that cut down the entires to 10 people then 5.

Er, I know, I haven't blogged in like ages. One of the reasons was to get this new look'n'feel up, hope you like. I call it JoshWaihi 2.1.

A lot has been happening lately, I'm going to Paris in September and I'm trying to prepare for it, rather unsuccessfully though :(. I'm going over there for a conference about Drupal, <-- its a web framework I work on so its gonna be really cool to over there for it, not to mention EUROPE!!!! yay!

I have no idea. I really don't. I feel a bit lost about this one. Last night I meet a couple of young female lawyers, talked, drunk and eventually ended up dancing, as the night drew to a close, I got one of there numbers. Generally, I would tend to txt that number early next week but thought this time I'd try a different approach and show I'm interested and propose a date worthy of asking this young lady out on. Salsa.

I intially started this blog because I wanted to record my journey (for lack of a better word) of becoming a single guy again. Though since this blog has started, I haven't done much at all in the way of telling you, my readers, about the chronicles of me. So I thought I might make this blog a log on relfection and to quote John - "Catch you on places I've been".

Recently I had the pleasure of hosting five woman at my house and holding a Chardonnay evening. How this came to be was because a few weeks earlier, one of these girls had a house waming of which I attended and we started talking about wine, after a while I couldn't hold it in anymore I voiced my opinion about 'sav drinkers' which is something along the lines of:

"Sauvignon blanc is for uneducated, sterotypical early twentys woman who follow the crowd like sheep in a flock, that wouldn't know what good wine taste like if it was put in front of them."

This week I read a blog from Greer 2.0, she's a twitter buddy of mine. The blog was on "The rules of txt" - how long does one wait to contact someone they like after just meeting them? Who makes the move first?

I was walking to work this morning listening to my wanabe iPod suffle mp3 player, not a normal occurance, but I was. Anyway, on came "Sex is on Fire" by "Kings of Leon". I really like the song, and if you listen to the lyrics I reckon the song captures the moment rather well. It made me think of times where I felt that song applied. You know, intimate times with past partners.

I wrote a song this week. I'm quite excited about it since I haven't written a song since 2006 back when I arrived in Wellington to study Jazz music. See, I'm a bit of a John Mayer fan, he's how I got into jazz music. Believe it or not the man can play guitar. My song writting tends to come out at bit John Mayerish to the point I get called Josh Mayer from particular smart arse friends of mine. They'll keep.
