hey everyone

well me and Travis got some wicked jobs now, we walk around all day and meet and greet tourists and hand out free sunscreen, I mean how great is that. we got some sweet uniforms too, a wife beater, shorts and a ball cap, we got on that job just in time cause they used to wear these huge sun hats and stupid shirts but we got the rad clothing, plus we get paid 14 bucks an hour to walk around all day. and there are tones of stuff going on in surfers, last weekend there was a bike race and the guy who one the tour de France was there, and horse races are always going on and just everything. if something is going on on the eastern coast of aussie its usually going on on the gold coast, where we are. and the greatest thing about our jobs is that we are always in the middle of all the cool things going on and getting paid for it so that's rad. plus I got this job at a bar in town too and I get to walk around all niter just picking up empty glasses and cleaning broken ones up off the floor and help out the bartenders for 10 bucks an hour cash in hand. I meet so many people that way too and get to listen to pumping music, the only shitty thing is the hours, I work till about 4 in the morning on fri and sat, but that will help us save some money till were totally up again. the first few nights I worked there I would always find change and money on the floor so that go us through a little bit of a tight weekend. but things are wicked now and the surfing is going alright, still haven't gotten the huge hang of it, but its coming and don't get fooled with the name surfers paradise cause we have yet to find some decent surf on it, plus there are tones of people on the beach all the time which is a little different than ballina but its okay for now. xmas and new years are going to be sweet, we already got a xmas party coming up for staff, and we get these awesome staff meetings too where we get free dinner and stuff, things are definitely looking up and better, having jobs kicks ass. well I think that's some wicked new for everyone to hear and go and check out our pics on the net cause they are awesome we got about 5 films on there and we are still taking tones of pics here so maybe in the new year well have some more......

cheers

oLiver and Travis
