The blog is called..."From teen to twenties"...
The “real world”
It was mid 1996, and I was finally free from the education department. I had just finished Polytech, and although it had taken six months longer than first anticipated, there were some excellent learnings especially in the life lessons department. Now, I had to find a job and prove myself in the real world. Back …
Dipping my toes into the “real world”
So, part way through 1995, I liberated myself from high school. I was so damn excited. I'm not sure why I wanted to leave so badly but school had been the start of where things changed for me. Well, I guess it wasn't school per se, it was the things that happened at school. Anyway, …
“High” School Part II

Single Digits
When I was young, life was a breeze. Things were happy and uncomplicated. Here's a glimpse of my life from early on, while I'm in single digits. When I was 6 months old (1978), we moved from Ngaruawahia to Whangarei (both are in the north Island, New Zealand) as my dad accepted a new position …
Just like riding a bike!?
So, here I am... writing a blog, well hopefully. I've never written one before, so who knows. I have always enjoyed writing and I have entertained the idea of writing a blog for a few years. I'm not much for following trends, so for all I know they're probably out of fashion by now. I'll …
