 Right, everybody was up. Fuck, that's a clean haircut. That's clean, man, that's fucking clean. Haircut was a success, obviously. This morning, I have no plans and I'm actually about to make a coffee, get some caffeine in the system. Who's that? No one. Yeah, but I've got to say, man, I'm fucking stoked with this haircut and I'm so close, so close to being able to tie it back. It's not even funny. So I think another couple of months and we'll be tying it back consistently. Which is exciting. I'm gonna get onto the coffee, get my caffeine in the system and start my day. One good thing about staying here at my dad's place is that he's got glass bottles for his water rather than plastic. And when you come to think about it, it's such a good idea because plastic, you know, if you leave a plastic bottle in the fridge for ages and you keep using it, they say that the plastic starts coming out in the water and you start getting unhealthy. Well, if you've got glass bottles, not only does it keep it nice and cold after you've brought it out of the fridge, because the glass is cold, but it's just a lot more healthy. And what I've been doing is mixing probably about half a scoop of All Day You May in the bottle, first thing in the morning, and then I'll be drinking this as well as coffee. So get that underway. And I'll catch you guys in a sec. A little bit of cold water. And there we have it. So with my coffee, I've been having them black for probably the last like, I don't know, six months or so. Recently, another reason why I'm having them black is so I don't have any dairy products, but in saying that, when I think about it, if I eat things like chocolate, I mean, that's got dairy products in it, right? I mean, I have been eating chocolate. So really, I don't know if a drop of milk is really going to count, but I actually enjoy a black coffee. For some reason, I actually really do like the taste rather than having a milky sort of creamy sort of texture. Actually, the texture doesn't change. It's just the look. And for some reason, I like black coffee. I don't know why, but this one looks rather nice, as you can see. All right. Yeah, when I said before that I didn't have any plans, that's ridiculous because I do have plans today. I just forgot about them. And today I'm going to go visit my mate, Adam, who went to school with me at Cashmere High School. I don't know if any viewers or many viewers are from Christchurch, but if you are, you might know Cashmere and that's the high school that I went to. I wanted to go to Christchurch boys really, really, really badly because it's quite a prestigious school when it comes to sport. And sport was pretty much my life back then. So when I didn't get in there, and it sucks because my dad went there. That's ridiculous. It was stupid because they took away the policy that said if you had a dad or a grandfather that went to that school, you'd have automatic entry. And I don't know, obviously the population growth and stuff, they can't hold that many people. So they had to change it to a zoning system. So you had to be in a particular zone, which is the way they are these days. And I didn't get in. So anyways, that's all right. I went to Cashmere High School. It was quite cool because I went to South Intermediate, which was the intermediate associated to Cashmere because it was in that area. So, you know, I almost knew half of my year group anyway before I even went to high school, which was quite cool. So I made it a lot easier, but yeah, met a guy at him and he lived in Sumner, which was just over the hill from Littleton, which is where I lived. And yeah, we spent high school hanging out the whole time, me, him and a few others. And, you know, most of us have sort of gone on our different paths, but Adam's still in Christchurch and he's had a kid. And unbelievably, I've been back like three times in the last two years and I still haven't seen him. And I definitely haven't seen his kid. So he is turning two and his name's Jackson. And I'm gonna go over and catch up with Adam and meet his son for the first time, which should be great, should be great. So things are changing in this world, man. We're not so young anymore, are we? Well, I'm not my age group anyway. And then after that, I'm actually staying at my mom's tonight. So usually I'll stay here in Shirley with my dad because he's got a place. Mom has sort of been in Australia. She's been in Darwin. She's been in Christchurch all over the place at the moment. She's got a place too. So that's cool. So I'm gonna stay with her. So I'm gonna stay there the next two nights and really have a good catch up, which would be good. Cause yeah, obviously I came here cause of my dad, but you know, things are improving. I'm pretty happy with how he's gone. And you know, that takes the pressure off a little bit and I can go and do my own thing, which I am going to do. So I won't, he doesn't like fitness. He's not into YouTube or anything. So I'm not gonna bring out the camera, but that'd be a cool time. And I'll catch up with you guys later on. So wherever you are in the world, whatever you're doing, have a great day. Peace. All right, so I just got your old mate monster, white monster, they're fucking everywhere now. So us Australians and New Zealanders have finally caught up to America when it comes to whites and orange monsters. But with that said, I'm just about to head round to my mate Edward's place in about five minutes away. Can't wait to get there. It's gonna be a fucking awesome catch up. I hung out with this guy every single day for about fucking seven years, up until I left New Zealand. So, should be good. Do you just think of the time of the accident that you were running about? Student fire? Yeah. Okay, well basically I've been in Australia, I've had a student loan before back in 2010 and I'm currently paying that back. So I've been in Australia, living and working for the last five years. What I'm wondering is, I'm just checking if I'm still eligible to get student loan. What's the go there? Like, do you have to pay off a certain amount before you can get another one? Or like? The loan that you've taken out with us, it just means making sure that you don't, I already need the full payment for that. Right, yeah. But again, New Zealand Institute of Support, yes? Yeah, okay, sweet. Well, yeah, that would be, and I'll be doing it on campus here in Christchurch. But yeah, I just wanted to, I don't have any, I did have outstanding payments of interest, payments and shit that I hadn't paid, but I have cleared all those, so it shouldn't be a problem, right? Yeah. Okay, so if I was to confirm dates of the course that I actually wanted to do, what would be my next step? All right, thanks very much. You're welcome. Yes, bye. All right, so that was StudyLink, which is the people who run Student Loans here in New Zealand. And I have been recently thinking a lot about, am I ever actually going to get into the fitness industry properly as a job and as a career? I mean, that's really the only thing I have a real passion behind and I can help people without even thinking about it. I love seeing people change their physiques and reach goals and things like that, so. And I'd also love to live back in Christchurch for a little bit. I've always said that. I've always, every time I come back, I fucking have a great time. I've just went and seen my mate, Adam. I'm gonna catch up with a few more guys on the weekend. It's just, it's really cool and I'd love to live back here just for a bit. And also, I can take advantage of being a New Zealand citizen and get my student loan and then pay it back over time because in Australia, I'm not eligible for a student loan and I'd have to pay all my course fees up front or pay them back with an interest rate because it's not interest free like it is here in New Zealand. So yeah, just run up then and I would be looking at doing a course on campus because I wanna be immersed in the whole culture of it. I wanna be around other people that are trying to get in the same industry as me. I don't wanna be an online student. It doesn't work for me. I'd love to go into a campus and do that. And I think I'm 26 soon. If I do it next year, I'll be 26 and I think that's probably getting on a little bit, especially in this industry so I'd really need to do it fast and obviously the New Zealand Institute of Sport is pretty well known and I'd like to think that I could trust them as far as getting an actual good quality service and learning experience. So anyways, that's what I've been thinking about and I just run up then told them I was living back here which I'm not, but all that has to happen for me to actually be living back here is just me being here because I'm a New Zealand citizen. I've got my birth certificate, passport, all that shit. So it's just a matter of picking a date and then trying to organize it and then I can get a student loan and live back here. I'll probably get a job as well, like maybe a night job or something, get a bit of part-time work. But yeah, it's pretty, it's definitely on my mind and the thing is like, the other option would be living in Alice and doing like an online course obviously. But I just don't think that that is going to, it doesn't interest me. I really want the experience of actually going through the course and working with the tutors and stuff like that because in time maybe I'd wanna be one of those people. Yeah, so we'll see. I don't know what's gonna happen. Anyway, I went and saw Adam that was fucking cool and I'm catching up with him again this weekend. But in the meantime, I'm having a pre-workout meal and then we'll be off to the gym. Peace. Right, what's happening people? We have just been to the gym and we've hit back. So what that means guys is that after I, well my face looks really bright right now. After I told you probably a few days ago that motivation hadn't been high, I hadn't been training hard, my diet hadn't been on point, you know, I was getting worried. Since then I went and did chest and shoulders and then I did arms that first day. I did legs yesterday, big session and today I've gone and done back. So that means I've done everything. In three days, my diet has been on point. We did the meal prep yesterday. You know, I've eaten probably three or four of those meals already. So I feel like I've got good nutrition running through my veins as well as chocolate and as well as sugary shit as well. But at least I've got that good, you know, wholesome food as a base rather than relying on all that shitty food, you know, completely. It's, I guess, a bit of flexible dieting, probably about 30% junk, 70% good food at the moment. Before that it was probably about 60, 40 in favor of junk food. So it really wasn't good. But anyways, back day's done. I actually, I saw a guy in there that I'd seen the other day and I asked if I could work in with him and he said yes and it was both that first exercise on back and we ended up doing the whole workout together. So that was quite cool. And, you know, that's the kind of thing that you can do and find in the gym every day, man. You can find good people, good positive people. You're gonna have a common interest. You know, you're always gonna find something to talk about. If you're training hard together, there's no bonding experience like fucking putting yourselves through a gruelling workout, apart from team sports. I will say that team sports is definitely the best bonding experience you can have. But training in the gym is definitely close. But anyways, I've just come down to Casbah, Moroccan Grill. Don't know if you can see it, but definitely one of my favorite places here in Christchurch and it's basically got a whole selection of meats and salads and, you know, just really delicious things that you can have in like a bowl. It's kind of like a burrito bowl, but it's Moroccan stuff. So what's burrito? Is that Mexican? I'm not sure. Anyways, I'm about to go get me and Dad a feed and I'll show you guys what I get. Boom! Man, I can't wait to eat this shit. So damn good.
