STUPID FUCKIN BLOGGER

It made me change over to the new blogger. It took me 10 minutes to figure out which user name and password makes this thing work now. When you've had a couple of rum and cokes, thats not easy. At least it doesn't MAKE you have those dumbass 'label' thingys that you see on some people's blogs.

Stewart's bought roll your own tobacco for the first time today. Hes decided that $60+ is too much to be paying per week for cigarettes. And most of the smokers on his course smoke the roll your own option. It is entertaining watching him try to roll them. I guess its something that comes with practice.

Hmm..

I had a interview with Nicole's new teacher last night. Shes noticed that Nicole is trouble seeing the white board from her seat. I've got to get Nicole's eyes checked because it sounds likely she needs glasses.

Brock our 4 month old kitten jumped out the upstairs bathroom window for the third time last night. If he keeps doing that, its only a matter of time before he hurts himself. Which is not something we want. We've all become very fond of him and his antics.

Tomorrow night Stewart and I are going to see WWE! Nicole is going to her sister Aimee's house, so is quite happy not to come to WWE. I'm not looking forward to the 3 hour drive to Auckland though.

!!!!!!!!!

Stewart was awarded a $2000 scholarship towards his 2007 Polytechnic fees from Upskill Tauranga!!!! We have to go to a presentation ceremony at the beginning of March.

Human Trafficking

Hundreds of thousands of children and young women have vanished from their everyday lives-forced by violence into a hellish existence of brutality and sexual slavery...

This is an awesome movie. Its incredibly dark and makes you really think about what us human beings do to one another. Nearly three hours long, but it doesn't get boring.

Treaty of Waitangi

The Treaty of Waitangi (: Te Tiriti o Waitangi) was signed on February 6, 1840 at Waitangi in the Bay of Islands, New Zealand. It was signed by a representative of the British Crown, and Māori chiefs from the North Island. The British Resident, James Busby, had earlier convinced some 35 of these chiefs to declare independence as the Confederation of the United Tribes of New Zealand.

From the British point of view, 'The Treaty', as New Zealanders often call it, justified making New Zealand a British colony. Today it is generally considered the founding point of New Zealand as a nation. Despite this, the Treaty is often the subject of heated debate. Many Māori feel that the Crown has not kept its side of the bargain, whereas a number of Pakeha feel that Māori pay too much attention to the Treaty and use it to claim 'special privileges'.

Until the 1970s, it was generally ignored by both the courts and parliament, although it was usually depicted in New Zealand historiography as a wise and benevolent act. From the late 1960s Māori began drawing attention to breaches of the Treaty, and subsequent histories have emphasised problems with its translation. Most New Zealanders now accept that their governments have been neglectful of the Treaty, but there is no agreement on the extent of this or what should be done about it. The Waitangi Tribunal is tasked with researching breaches of the Treaty and suggesting redress.

Crap! Crap! Crap!

Talladega Nights is utter rubbish! Will Ferrell is irritating. The End.
