CURRENT MISSION

have fun be positive, and most of all smile lots

ABOUT ME

I love playing the tourist guide in my home town of Christchurch, New Zealand. The best sites to see, the coolest places to do, where to dine, where to drink, where to go for a boogie. I am a gadgetaholic, computers, iPhone, ps3 (not much of a gamer tho), you name it. Love using technology to make the smaller things in life that much quicker and easier. Love art aspire to artist's and would love to be one, but thats a dream at the moment.

PHILOSOPHY

To know, and not to do... is not to know
Do you know what you don't know?
Don't just think about it do it!
Make every obstacle an opportunity
What ever you resist will persist!
Silence is deafening
Building strength builds confidence

Some training or fitness quotes i like
“Pain is temporary. It may last a minute, or an hour, or a day, or a year, but eventually it will subside and something else will take its place. If I quit, however, it lasts forever.”
“Pain is temporary. Quitting lasts forever.”
Two things scare me. The first is getting hurt. But that's not nearly as scary as the second, which is losing.
The riskiest thing you can do is get greedy.
Pain is only weakness leaving the body
