New pad? Hell yeah
I just leased a house on the island today after thinking, "you know what, I'd rather be able to say that my first house was on a paradise island than some grimy place next to my college. I think that liing like a hobo has gone on for quite long enough and am happy to be moving into a small house in 17 days.
Still saving money, still staying fly and still flying high fo life yo!

Oh possums...
So I have made the amazing discovery that possums are awesome. First I saw them cuddling in the trash room munching on half eaten sammiches and rotten tomatos and thought "rough, but cute", as they are all fluffy like. Then I saw them everywhere, just chilling out and watching me and walking up close like "yo, wassup bro?" and I was like, "yeah they seem like an okay crew" so I decided to let one take a look around my appartment because it was right outside my door and I was curious as to what it would do, it wasn't keen on the place so it walked out and I fed it a cracker and filmed it and he just held it with his little paws and he was just om nom nomming away and then he started sniffing a towel I was holding as well. In the end, I decided to lead him out of the door and get on with my life, but as he was leaving, the little coward bit me and did a runner out of the open door. I named him Timothy and declared him my nemesis.
Today, I went to the mainland and bought a water pistol and went to get my revenge on Timothy in the place I knew I would find him... The trash room...
When I walked into the trash room, I was holding my six shooter water pistol and was filming the whole thing to document my epic triumph over nature. It was an intense mexican stand off and he was staring at me and I was eying him down but in the end, the high velocity jet of water proved too much and I had him dancing on the trash cans like a moving target range. He ended up going and hiding behind the trash cans all sissy like and I walked out, victorious, a man of TRUE POWER!!!!
oh yeah, work is good. and the Australian elections are going on between some old ginger cat-lady and a guy with massive ears. Silly ozzies.

First day of work
Yesterday was my first day at work and i'm really looking forward to going back tonight for work. I've been put in a hosting position in the bistro. I basically just have to seat people and make them comfy while try enter the venue. And I get pretty much any meal from the menu for just 6 dollars :)
in a while, the manager has said that I will be learning the bar so I can start bartending!
My accommodation is pretty decent, but the fridge is really mouldy and will have to be replaced sometime. The only cooking instrument I have is a kettle. So I bought 75 packs of instant noodles. Booyah.
I've been coming up with some awesome designs so far. I figure that I'll have about 300 designs on me by the time I finish my trip.
Well I hope everyone is doing well, keep it real y'all.

ON THE ISLAND!
Got to Hamilton island yesterday morning and am staying here, just hanging out, until I start working on monday!
The island is awesome so far, I'm really lookign forward to starting work most of all though, I don't plan on going out drinking very much, but would like to do my rescue diving PADI course during these upcoming months. That will look very good on a uni application, I'm sure... as will a few months of working at a luxury resort island I guess...
Speaking of applications, mom and dad, can you figure out application deadlines for ASU and some other ones on the list I gave you? I like putting dates and schedules on my iPod so I can organize myself. It's been working really well so far and I havn't even been taking my concerta yet. I will when I start work though, I dont want to drift.
ANYWAY, on the island, we have parrots, cockatiels, mssive black birds, gulls and most commonly seen are the butterflies, you can look up from the pools and just see tons of butterflies around, its cool. There are also Opossums or Possums or whatever the real name is, iguanas and spiders. big spiders. spiders so big they should have small gnomes riding them around.
Met a couple of people last night who were very cool to hang out with but I have been told that there are a bunch of people being introduced to the island like me on monday when the jobs start.
I have been told that there is a lot of money to be made in the next month because there is a race week starting and with the race comes a lot of customers. Hopefully I will be doing a lot of overtime work to keep myself occupied and making mucho mucho monies. And after the first month, I can start doing something called multi-employed or something where I can do another part time job in my free time if I want, to develop peripheral skills as well as make some extra money.
They have wakeboarding and other watersports on the island but it is expensive so I dont know if I'll be doing it very often if at all. Maybe I can do my multi-employed work at the watersports hut doing teaching or driving the boat. OH YEAH! I plan to do my boat and jetski licence here too. So Dad, you can expect me to be able to drive Sugar around by the time I make my return, if you havnt sold it off and bought yourself a pickup escalade.
I also just set up a bank account, dont worry Mom, I read through all of the text that there was to read on the pamphlet before signing, it's a simple transaction debit card which I will be getting my salary put onto. I'll be getting my online banking stuff sorted as well so you can transfer the money I have left onto that one and the HSBC card can just be my backup card like it was supposed to be.
I will be working for 17.60 Aus Dollars per hour, with a minimum of about 36 hours a week, minus 90 dollars a week for accomodation which includes, toilets, fridge, kitchen, water, heating and AirConditioning. And a roof. I did the math and although I didn't do super well in my math exams, I am pretty sure that I can leave the island in 4 months having made around 9500 Australian Dollars, taking into account the cost of food and accomodation but excluding the cost of dive courses and extra activities like golf on the GOLF ISLAND!!! thats right homies, theres an 18 hole golf course which covers a whole island with mountains and stuff... well good... And there's a shooting range and a gokart track, fishing, minigolf and other stuff.
Anyway, I'm sorry I havnt been putting up pictures but I will think about adding some more sometime soon if I can.
Peace out, A-Bomb.

JOB!
Okay guys, I got a job a few days ago working at a carnival and it was just totally braindead work, standing around blowing bubbles and selling little robot puppies from hell.
BIG IMPROVEMENT!
I just got off the phone with a recruitment agent from Hamilton Island in the Whitsunday Islands and made a really good impression as well as setting up a phone interview which, if all goes well, will send me skyrocketing into a job at an italian restaurant next week on the 4th of August.
The guy said I am very popular on the island at the moment and he has had a bunch of requests for me to work at some of the places there.
I would like to thank my wonderful father Aric Ryan Ault for taking me out on a bar crawl in Dubai before I left as it was on this crawl that I met the person who has been passing my CV around Hamilton Island and been putting a good word around for me.
I would also like to thank all my supporters such as my uncle Mark and aunt Amy who very thoughtfully sent me a fake reference, my mom Pia Charlotte Ault who was rooting for me, Hunter who was doing pretty much nothing but who I had a great conversation with recently, and finally, my best friend and girlfriend Courtney Parr who is madly smitten by my wiley charm.
Peace out yo.
