Many moons ago while surfing Amazon’s Listmanias I came across an author by the name of Jeremy Robinson. To cut a long story short, he was running a viral video contest to promote his new book, Pulse. I bribed my good buddy Lesmondj into spending a Saturday afternoon in the bush and what eventuated was two versions of the [...]
Welcome to my new and improved blog. You like? I tend to grow tired of my blog layout at least once a year, and on a whim today I changed it.
My wife says I change my mind like I change my underwear. I disagree… I change my undies everyday (sometimes twice). She wonders why I keep changing a perfectly good-looking [...]
A couple of weeks ago Lesmond and I entered a viral video contest promoting PULSE by Jeremy Robinson.
Although entertaining, the movie was far too long and I hate to say it… boring. Good news folks. I have re-edited it to a lean 1.15 minutes, and thanks to a blood-nose (don’t ask), it now has an alternate ending (like special [...]
My best welt, shot by Isaac pointblank in the ribs… yes that is bruising.
Two church teams, 20 guys, one paintball field, 2 hours of carnage, Goodtimes! Sadly my team (CRF Central) were defeated by Shaun’ team (Bream Bay CRF).

He had minor injuries, but no broken bones

It was the summer of 99… oooo yeah (in my best Bryan Adams voice). Me and my good buddy Les were surfing at Elliots’ beach, Far North, New Zealand. It was a brilliant summer’s day, the waves were small but clean, and I was out the back by myself waiting for the next set (Les was grovelling further in [...]

In keeping with my current Muppets phase… I’m cracking up more and more at Waldorf and Statler these days and actually find myself relating to them (should I be worried?).
Someone in Blogland made a wise-crack recently that Waldorf and Satler reminded them of Lesmond J. and myself. I couldn’t agree more! I think if [...]
Brian cracks me up! Remember, you saw it first here on symondrake.com!
