Some of you may or may not know already, but I'm upping and leaving this place in 4 days time. Off to French speaking Belgium on an AFS student exchange for a year. So this thread is to pay thanks to all the people I've bludged off over the years and to say goodbye to NZ as I may not have time to make a post before I go...
As I type this, I sit here in a rather smelly, bright red, too-big-for-me work shirt. I'm no longer employed, I'm no longer a school student, I don't even have a family in Belgium to go to. As some might say, I'm another unemployed, uneducated yobbo kid of NZ.
Thanks to the NZ Education department for 12.5 yrs of mediocre education - I didn't really go to learn; lunch and girls were my main reason for school.
Thanks to my employers over the past few years, who've successfully aided me in my ways to become another binge drinking statistic, boy racer statistic and any other statistic you can think of in which I may be a part of.
Thanks to KB for giving me a few good laughs and heaps of support over my 2.5/3 yrs of riding in NZ. I won't be riding in Belgium due to the cost of insurance, and when I get back I'll be a poor student with a drum kit who'll need a car. But if you ever need the cobwebs blown outta your bikes, I'll be happy to help you out.
Thanks to the olds eh. 17 quality years of being dragged up proper-like. Been a few rough times; eating poisonous shit, eating sharp crap, needing endless amounts of surgery, endless amount of money to pay for all my expensive hobbies (music, motorbikes, fire dancing), putting up with all my racket and stupidity (breaking my thumb learning how to ride a bike, cutting my hand on a whiskey glass, concussing myself on the boot of Cloady's car - the list goes on)...But in amongst all the rough times, I think you guys did a pretty good job and I thank you for that.
Pat/Speights Bud. You probably won't even read this shit, but oh well. Good laughs and good times. Pretty much sums up the 4/5yrs we been mates. Never struggle to find something to laugh at or take the piss out of. Thanks for the help with breaking my thumb, cutting my hand and all the other shit we've ended up doing which has resulted in me hurting myself. I'm pretty sure you're what they'd call a good cunt, and I'd agree. Creme de la creme bro.
Um. Um. Um. Thanks to everyone else who's been there for me when I've needed it and to all my KB mates. I'll see you all after July next year sometime (except any of you who come to the Toby Jug in Manakau on Wednesday). Will have to have another party when I get back I suppose.
Don't know if there's much else to say, but I'll be sure to update KB with a few stories from Belgium. Four days and I'll be a foreign exchange student...and going by all the stories I hear/am involved in with the foreigners, it's gunna be a once in a lifetime experience and I'll definitely make the most of it, through the ups and the downs.
In the words of a typical NZ teenager...
Thnx 2 al use fullaz hu been real choice nd stuffs aye (read as eh). Im takn a bear and fukn off ovaseas bro, nd will c use al nxt yr. Churr.
