Ive been homeless for about a week and ahalf now, im talking ive been living under trees in Brandford Park and sleeping on the sides of Volcanoes....Its a great way to save money and pick up smelly girls who also enjoy men that smell bad and other stuff...So my trip to "sunny" nelson ended with me leaving nelson to return to where i started...square one..auckland..I travelled thru mordor and scaled mt doom only to NOT throw the ring into the fire, in my case, get a job....not because lack of effort...oh no...I looked and called everywhere...nada...bit of a recession right now...oh well so im back in auckland. about to start back up at Interworld plastics....Ronnie Davidson (my boss) has got to be one of the goodest people i know....
Today was a sad day....the travelling crew lost two deeply valued members....(moment of silence)
Hana and Mariana are both back to their respected countries (usa, argentina)
The past five months have been insanely good and im going to miss these two like crazy, theve become like sisters...
So its off to work starting monday...ive had more money , ive had better food, ive been in better shape, ive had way better luck but im completely content and satisfied with my current situation....
ive also been listening to alot of ben harper lately..the song "blessed to be a witness" is my current favorite
thanks for reading followers! and all of you that read but arent technically followers
peace, love, Jordan

Nelson! NZ's sunniest town...The passport situation is finally sorted. Once I flew back into Auckland from Queenstown I checked back into Oakland's Lodge. I ended up scoring the gardeners position at the hostel so I pulled weeds for a week for my accommodation (thanks mom all that slave labor has payed off, I'm a damn good weeder:) After a bunch of paperwork and real crap passport photo sessions I got all my paperwork and stuff turned in to the embassy. It took literally a week to get a new passport, which is way quicker than a kiwi can get a new passport here, weird huh..while still in limbo with the passport dealio i upgraded to a cleaning job at the hostel. So up at ten every morning scrubbing the toilets and other exciting things. I'm not complaining at all, I'm super super grateful for all work I can do seeing on how Mr. MasterCard has now become my best friend. I booked a ticket to fly back south on Monday the 1st hoping the passport would arrive before i left, sure enough it did! So I arrived here in Nelson Monday evening. Nelson airport is about 6k's from the town center so i opted out of a cab ride and walked....figured id try my hand at hitchhiking again...didn't go so hot....but i made it, so i passed out in a local park and woke up refreshed the next morning! not! i woke up and it was raining...it was like a movie where things cant get much worse and then it starts raining...So i decided rather than hitchhiking to the next town, where ill be looking for work, i would just check in a hostel for a night and relax....so its off to a little fruit pickin town called motueka tomorrow to find work (fingers crossed) picking apples...
