i notice that not many people are actually telling us stories ..but just stating facts and walking off !



which is not really giving people that might be interested much to talk about



is that how you naturally talk to people ?

hi jostaal !

lots to talk about there later in PART 7

[quote=joshtaal]Hi again, back for part 6


My second car was a Holden HJ Kingswood ute with a 186 straight 6 engine & Crager mag wheels (real steel ones too, not the alloy kind that you get today) and man that thing could go! My sister's boyfriend had a later model Holden Ute with a 253 V8 in it, and although he could beat me on take off, on a flying run we would be even, in fact one time on a 1 mile drag I almost beat him.



PART 7

hi again !

i was'nt very good at sports... apart from table tennis ( but once again never persued it )! always felt that i would have made a good lawn tennis player or a great badmington player if i had persued them sports at the right time as a young man !



i play badmibgton and tennis with freinds every now and then ..but not often enough !

1. what on earth made you want to play hockey ??..its the most voilent boring sport in the world (sorry ... apart from cricket )!



2. i can't understand why ice hockey players are always fighting all the time ? can you explain it all to me ?



3. QUOTE

"I wasn't very good at sport, I was more the 'academic' type, strong on smarts but lacking in skill."

so were you a 'geek' then ?



i wish i paid more attention at school instead of always being a clown !



4. i went through an identity crisis when i was about 21 years old and was'nt sure who i was anymore ( which is another story )!

but your teenage years sound quite interesting ...i wish i knew what all these cars were that you're talking about ? were they trendy cars at the time ?

5. how often did you use to drag race then ?..by the way you still haven't told me whether you were a hippy teddy boy A JAMES DEAN TYPE .. a snotty nose kid that wore big glasses or a coo cat ?



6. i was never one of the 'prize guys' at school because i was'nt very confident in myself



but was very good at 'shuffling ' ( thats like black tap dancing to ska beat music

i use to fantasize about being a dancer ..but it was only a fantasy ..i only reall started to learn how to dance in my 30's when i starting smoking a lot of shit



and you whats funny about the whole thing thing ( in fact forget that because i'm not allowed to say that here ) but it was a real eye opener !



7. i wish i could see what a Holden HJ Kingswood ute with a 186 straight 6 engine & Crager mag wheels looks like because its hard to imagine



8. now come on tell us what type of music and music scene you were into as a late teenager stepping into your twenty's how you use to dress and chat up women??



9. did anybody ever embarrased you in front of your freinds ?



that happened to me a few times !



10. my brother use to run a mobile disco unit as well playing reggae and soul music !...did you ever see the film ' the great gatsby ' with robert redford ..and the clothes they wore in that film with the baggy trousers straw hats polo neck shirts and all that 20's or 30's stuff ...well thats how he started dressing when he got into soul



11. you saying that you use to practice all the latest moves brings back all the memories of when we use to practice dancing in front of the mirror with freinds in preparing for friday or saturday night ( promising to back each other up with special moves if anybody ever challenged us to dancing competition)!



END OF PART 7

Back for part 7


Hi Again Gilly

I didn't play ice hockey, the kind of hockey we play in NZ is on grass, and its not quite as violent as the kind played on ice, and I only got violent once when an opponent hit me in the shins with his stick long after I had cleared the ball. I was quite angry & my stick went head high, if the coach wasn't there to stop me, it may have been a nasty sight.

Yes I was a geek, not the geekiest of geeks though, kinda 2 steps off geek

Drag racing took place most weekends, if we didn't race we were usually doing donuts or handbrake slides down at the local lake, I never could understand why I spent so much money on Tires!

While I had glasses (the geeky type) when I was a kid, I wasn't a snotty nose kid with big glasses, I don't really know what type of kid I was actually, I spose a 'trekkie' type if I really think about it, I loved sci-fi, computer games & maths.

I realise that I made a slight mistake when I said I had an HJ Holden, cos it was actually an HG (I know it still doesn't mean anything to you but if you search Holden Utes at any stage, you would be looking at a ute I never actually owned)

Music in my late teens....... hmmm, well I was a late adolescent in the 80's - 90's, so I guess I was listening to Rick Astley, Flock of Seagulls, Prince, Bananarama, Cheap Trick, The Police, Madonna, Cyndi Lauper & other such 80's pop.
I tried the 'Miami Vice' wardrobe, but it didn't quite work for me, (wasn't cool enough) Most of my life has been jeans & t-shirts.

Did I ever get embarrassed? Well you would have a fair idea now that what other people thought of me was important to me, so yes, it didn't take much for my friends to embarrass me.

And with those last few (embarrassing) confessions, i'll say end of part 7

cya later

hi jostaal !

lots more to talk about soon in part 8 ..but in the meanwhile if theres anyway that you can show me any photo's of the cars that you were talking about in the photo or video section one day it would be greatly apreciated !



because it would be great to get a visionof what you were talking about !

That's the first time i've ever posted a picture on here Gilly check out the threads 'For Gilly' and "This should be the ute'

i've seen both pictures now will talk about them later !



have you got any other photo's to show us ?

Personally I don´t think there is any such thing as a mistake, just experiences that we learn from and that contribute to who we are today. It´s all about living... "Life may not be the party we expected it to be, but we may as well dance while we´re here"

That's easy to say when you live in IBIZA!

Well I didn´t always live in Ibiza... just 5 years now.

I sweetie... how´s things?

PART 8

hi jostaal !

now first of before we go any further ...can we please clarify what a geek is ( as far as you're concern ) ?



see because i could be completely wrong about what it means over where you live ( or maybe wrong about what it means where i live as well )!



when ever i watch the movies 'the geek is always the social misfit of the class that

1.wears big unfashionable glasses



2. always reading and coming up with profound interlectuall comments or answers to the teachers questions

3. always thinks and speaks above the other students

4. always dropping their books because they're always carrying so many

5. always falling in love with the girl with the pony tail ( who pukes up everyb time she see's him



6. never throws bits of papper around the class ...and always does his homework on time !



7. is always been picked on by ' the prize guyz ' for been a ' well bought up well balanced smart ass that does'nt belong around here '



8. the one after getting fed up of always being bullied ... finally challeges the " mr personality ..but no brains "of the class to a

PROPER FIGHT



but insisting that his oponent abides by queensbury rules to show the rest of the class that he's a man of integrity



9. and is always a prefect or a teachers pet !

10. and is always one of the ones that stay on for at least another year at school to gain extra qualifications whilst everybody else coukd'nt wait just to ' get the hell out of there ' start work to get some money in their pocket and ...blow it all on a fancy car !



11. we'll cary on talking about just how geeky you "really were " later eheh! ! eheh! eheh! lol !



12. what courses were you best at when you were at school ?

for me it was history , commerce , geography , and social studies !



13. drag car racing and what you guys did with the cars sonds great to me

:

we never use to do any of that



14. QUOTE

" Drag racing took place most weekends, if we didn't race we were usually doing donuts or handbrake slides down at the local lake, I never could understand why I spent so much money on Tires! "

what a ' doughnut ' in dragstar racing terms then ?... why did you use to do handbrake slides at the local lake ????



are you crazy ?



15, which brings me to my next question

DID YOU MAKE ANY MORE MISTAKES ? OR HAVE ANY BIG REGRETS ABOUT OTHER THINGS THAT YOU FELT YOU SHOULD HAVE DONE ....BUT NEVER DID IN YOUR LATE TEENS AND EARLY TWEENTIES ?



END OF 8 SERCTION 1 SECTION 2 TO FOLLOW SOON

Part 8

Hi Gilly!

I think you've been watching too many 'Revenge of the Nerds' movies!

1) I did wear unfashionable glasses
2) I did read a lot & tried earnestly to impress my teachers
3) I didn't often speak over other students BUT I always believed I was right
4) I never dropped my books, we had desks where we stored all our books
5) I was always in love with the 'girl next door' but never made any of them puke (to my knowledge)
6) I often threw paper around the class but was way too smart to get caught doing it!
7) I was picked on but not for being well brought up, more for being a 'lil fatty'
8) I only ever took on the bully once, I ate dirt within the first 10 seconds! (What can I say? I'm a lover not a fighter)
9) Teachers pet a few times but not always.
10) Definitely did not stay at school for an extra year, by the time I was a senior in High school I was SICK OF IT & couldn't wait to leave.
11) Probably not as geeky as some geeks can be.
12) My best subjects were Maths & Science (specifically physics)
13)Doughnuts are using a car to 'draw' doughnut shapes on the road with the cars tires (round & round & lots of smoke)
14) Handbrake slides took place at the reserve next to the lake (in the carpark or on the garssed area, especially after rain, the muddier the better!)
15) I'm sure I made plenty of mistakes, never classed them as regrets cos everything I have done has made me a better, stronger person & how could that be regretable?

How's that? end part 8 section 1

you beat me to it !

i'll read and answer this after i've finished part 8 section 2 tommorow !



ps have got any more photo's od anything to show me !

ANSWERS PART 8 SECTION 2

hi again jostaal !




sorry for the deatail ...and thanks for deciding to join the

" tell us your life story "

thread

do you still like watching sci fi, maths, and computer games ? ... and were you and are still like 'doctor spock' from star trek ?..because lets be honest thats who you really dreamt of being when you were a kid a kid really is'nt it ?



who were you're idols and pin ups when you were a teenager then ?



i fell in love with cheryl ladd from charlies angels for a long time !....and kept dreaming of being robert vaughn in ' man from uncle ' david carradine in ' kung fu ' and bill cosby in ' I spy '



your music tastes sounds in the 70's and 80's sounds good !



did you sever see the film 'saturday night fever ' did you use to go to disco's and try and dance like john travolta ?




i'll tell ya its so embarressing when you go to do ' the splits ' and you ripp the ass of your trousers in front of people



thats another big public mistake i made when i was a teenager !!! my freinds laughed about that one for ages !!!



the most embarrasing moments were when you crossed the dancefloor to ask a girl to dance and she said " NO " in front of all your freinds



you wished the dancefloor would just ' open ' and swallo you up !



so did you use to go and see any live performances at venues or dance halls then ? ... and what popular dance moves did you use to know then ?



I USE TO DO THE FUNKY CHICKEN...and the ' breakdown ' dancemoves



i use to love ' THE STAPLE SISTERS ' songs like evalyn champage king 's song 'shame ' etc,

we use to also idolise famous black america movie stars and singers



the miami vice cool dude fashion look was well cool ..but like you i was'nt cool enough for that look !..even though i was into the hawaiin shirts ..i tried wearing bright red trousers and also bright yellow trosers to get that ' miami vice look ..but all my british west indian freinds just laughed and me and kept calling me " HEY YOU ...AFRICAN MAN " because only african men use to really wear those trousers !...and during those days young west indian blacks thought that they were better than young africans and young africans thought they were better than the young west indians !!



there was a social divide amongst the teenagers ... abig like teddy boys and hells angels or skinheads and mods etc.



were they places where you were'nt suppose to go or people that you stayed away from ?

were you ever in a gang ?

DID YOU EVER FIND YOURSELF IN THE WRONG PLACE ? IN THE WRONG SIDE OF TOWN ?...AT THE WRONG TIME OF NIGHT...STARING AT THE WRONG PEOPLE .... THINKING " HUA HO THIS COULD BE MY ASS " ?



and did all the different gangs use to race or drive all different types of cars which went with the terriotory ?

did you ever see the film ' THE WARRIORS ' ?

thats so much for showing me the photo of the ' the ute ' ....i'll talk about that read and reply to

your answers to part 8 section 1 in

PART 9 COMING SOON !

thats not what WE'RE TALKING ABOUT JAN !....WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THINGS WE CAN TALK ABOUT GIRL !

i dont regret getting married because i wouldnt have had my 2 beautiful boys, had i not been married to him, so i guess i regret not finishing college, not getting a divorce sooner and selling my horse.

Hey hey Gilly

part 8 section 2 I'm starting to think you're compiling a novel as we chat about my life

Yes I still like sci fi, not so much a trekkie now and I never wanted to be like Spock, more like Captain Kirk, I thought he was cool, he commanded the whole ship but never really did any work just sat in his chair barking orders "Warp factor 9 Mr Zulu" "Beam me aboard Mr Scott" I always wanted to be the boss! (I am the boss now incidently)

Still very much into computer games, I have games on my PC, Laptop, PS2 & both my cell phones

Idols & pin ups? hmmmmmm I never 'pinned up' any stars pictures but I did want to be like Knight Rider, The Dukes of Hazard, & Starsky & Hutch, mostly just cos I wanted to drive their cars I actually have a pic of me sitting in KITT when I was a teenager, (dont ask to see it cos I look like a dork!)

I fell in love with Alyssa Milano when I was young (Very first time I saw her on 'Whos the Boss') and would still marry her if she asked nicely

When I went to discos I didn't TRY to dance like anyone......... I suceeded! Like I said, my brother had a mobile disco, I got heaps of time to practice my moves & all my mates agreed I was the best disco dancer, I saw lots of disco movies in the 70's and 80's, Saturday Night Fever, Thank God it's Friday, even Xanadu! John Travolta wishes he could have danced like me!

A couple of years ago I went to Saturday Night Fever on stage in Wellington, man that brought back some memories! What a great show!

We did have gangs in my town, and many times walking down the main street I was worried about people watching me and what they could do. My brother used to contract himself as night security for the town's businesses and that created more trouble than we would have liked for the whole family. While he was out protecting the community, the gangs weren't getting away with any crime & profit was down, so they took to attacking my brother where it hurt......... his home address! They threw rocks through our windows, firebombed my brothers Land Rover in the driveway, crashed cars through our front fence and stood on our front yard 'calling my brother out' We had to keep loaded shotguns around to protect ourselves.

I can't say I ever saw a movie called "THE WARRIORS" but I did watch "ONCE WERE WARRIORS" I don't know if you've seen it but it was a NZ film about the life of a maori family facing trials such as gangs, alcoholism, molestation, family violence and the likes, if you ever get a chance to see the movie, snap it up.

I'll finish this here & pop over to the life story thread now

cya later

(1) Ever leaving home in the first place (don't ever leave home kids, stay with momma forever)
(2) Trying to share a house with another woman and her kids (don't even get me started on the repercusions of that one!)
(3) Growing old....
