Training Footage finished, Little jobs done

With the wife on holiday I have a few more minutes in the day to do stuff I have been meaning to do but haven't, I've finally cleaned out the house and my new car and put some seat covers in and it looks aLOT nicer now, check it out :)




Sporty huh? :) Been watching My Kitchen rules on TV which is simply the best cooking show out there! It's the second season I've watched and its amazing how human social interaction works, theres always backstabbers and jealously, all around nice guys and friends who seem like more than friends. Below is what I had for tea last night, hardly ala carte but I had half an hour, not 5 hours like the pros haha ;)


In order to get ahead in lfe you have be enegaged and involved otherwise you do what you always do and plateau. I Haven't been to the library in a while so I decided to make the drive down to central yesterday and these are the three books I will be reading over the next couple weeks. One for fun, one for inspiration, one for work ethic, I might make a blog about the sales stuff next time if any of you out there are into sales, it's a lot like martial arts for me, all knowledge is useless knowledge if you don't apply it. Yesterday this chinese guy was flashing buying signals all over the place and by the time I realized I had a different customer who was taking ages and he was walking out the door. Boom, no sale for you.


Another thing with goals and the law of attraction is if it isn't constantly in your mind the opportunities to fulfill it will be a lot harder to come by, this is budget but this is my vision board I have in my living room, as you can see it has my dream house, my dream car, pics relating to my goals as well as my goal list for this year.


Enjoying Football at the moment, will be playing 3 times a week, attempting or working on most of the goals on the list. Be interesting if I get them all by the end of the year, especially number One!!!

Also, having nothing to edit I finally put together the test angles I shot with Sana in December at the JKD gym, the finished video is below and cut to Yelawolf's Firestarter track off his new mixtape which is awesome, it makes a big difference to me having good music to listen to, bought Ellies album, frank ocean, didos album and the killers new album all recently and enjoying the trip to and from work haha Anyways, enjoy the video below,



Last of all, finished the outline of the Ivy Investigation series and seriously considering shooting that before Chase, that way I can do a bit of acting and have something to sell or on-sell after Chase comes out. Plus I think its good though different, I'll shoot the pilot over the coming weeks and see if people like it :)

Till then, enjoy April and may every day be full and prosperous! Always look for opportunities ;)

All Moved in, all systems Go!!



 Say hello to My next door Neighbor, Mt Wellington :)

 Hullo!

It's now the 9th of May and we have been at the new place for a whole month now :) Finally have the internet and Phone line connected so welcome back to the interwebs! The area is nice and our home is finally all decked out and ready for action. I've started the groundwork on Chase (next post) and also gotten myself a Car (thanks to Emperor), a computer chair (thanks to the Takara commercial lol) and a couch, desk, cabinet, microwave etc... thanks to our savings... So without further ado, let me fill you in.

First Off, we have an oven now and heaps of space in the kitchen so we can masterchef our dinners, check out these pics of a couple of our dinners :) Wife cooked the crabs, I made way to many jokes about crab zombies for me to do it :P





New Car - The Mattmobile :)

I got paid the second part of my earnings from the Emperor Gig and got us a cheap but worthy Car! It's a 1996 Rover 416, Automatic, sunroof, central locking, immobilizer, 1.5 L vroom vroom vehicle, cosy interior and 10 disc cd changer in the boot. Loving it, check out some pics. Definitely a change from my last 2 cars which were Blue, 1.3L mid 1980's models cars. In the big city with motorways highways and overkill on the hill, a more powerful car was needed, introducing...





D.I.Y. Man :)

My Dad always taught me never to pay more than you have to for something, I got the TV cabinet below for 25 bucks, 50 dollars cheaper than the tag (75)! The desk was cheap too, halfprice, The chair was average, and the 42" inch TV was also on special and about 550, cheaper than the going rate of 900-1000ish, so it pays to shop around peoples :) I mean think about it like this, every time you buy something you're not paying with money, you're paying with hours from your life so make sure you spend it well as nobody lives forever (or so they tell me)

Part of the appeal of buying D.I.Y stuff is the appeal to the hands on manhandling side of me, so you can imagine how much fun and satisfaction I had putting together these puppies :) Pics to remember the occasion lol









Tadaa finished product shots :)







Acting

In terms of acting, I haven't really done anything since the extra work on Nothing Trivial, I did do a small role in a student short film starring as the lead, When I get a link I'll share it here, but there were very professional to work with and I had a lot of fun on it. Also, Go Girls season 4 DVD came out today so when the price drops a little I'll buy it so I can share a screen cap of my one second on it lol. Hey, all these seconds around the place add up to experience and it should all pay off when I finish Chase and it sits on Video shelves :)


My latest Obssession

Apart from Chelsea winning the FA cup and getting to the Champions League final, and Jose winning the La Liga with Real Madrid I haven't really been excited about much sport, UFC's Chael vs Silva 2 is still a while away....but then I heard that through FB that the Rock was coming back to face Cena at Wrestlemania this year I got so excited, you see, I used to be a big ass wrestling fan. No kidding, Bret Hart was my boy! I wanted to be just like him. Me and my brothers would dress up like our favorite wrestlers (the other bro's favs were Razor Ramon, Shawn Michaels, Lex Luger and Undertaker) and throw each other all over the house and get power slammed on mattresses etc and then out of breath and laughing it off, run over to the TV when the Friday night show would come on and cheer for our heroes...



When the WWE swallowed WCW I stopped watching as I had other things (life) to do but since moving here to Mt wellington ,and with all of this free time while I job hunt, I've gotten back into wrestling in a big way over the last 2 weeks trying to catch up with all the storylines and beefs before Wrestlemania Cena vs Rock comes out on DVD next week. (I've averaged 3 hours a day of PPV watching over the last week) I even bought W12 for the XBOX and won my first match as my character a couple hours ago lol, I call him 'Matt 'The mechanic' Kinsman'. Maybe I'll do a short video soon to test Nazim's camera before we shoot Chase, actually, that sounds like a fun idea, now to find some cheap tables and chairs to break :)

Home Life -Nice and Cosy, Blue skies ahead!


 Anyway that's all from me for a while, Thanks for reading the blog and from now on things can only get better with this strong a foundation. I've started work on Chase and I'm pretty close to getting a job I think. so The Dream Lives on!!!
