Friends and Family

So last night I had a party, a birthday party infact, and although alot of people came, it was still a smallish partay. The reasons why there were only a few select people at this party is because even though they are my friends I count all the people that were invited / showed up to be friends that are close enough that I count as family.

Corey and Karla are a couple I can see staying very close friends for well......forever, along with Kat and Sammo, Kiera and Pete these are all couples that like Loz and myself are open minded, easy going and just love the simpler tasks in life such as hanging out over a good movie, good alcohol or good food.

To all the other people who came, please dont take offense, but they are just people that came to mind.

Ian and James my fellow geek brothers, much love there and much arguement between varying opinions but at the end of the day we know we are all on the same page with our tech speak and no one is ever wrong or right in an industry like that

Chantel, a new friend, an amazingly cool chick and just an all round sexy gorgeous person, and thats just after 30 mins of talkin to ya! I can see us working together alot in the future and having alot of fun along the way

Jordan and Daniel are always welcome and always bring some character to wherever they go and whatever they are doing, thanks for the company and handshakes boys

Kiel, you keep suprising me whenever I get to see you for more than a set list or a 5 minute hello before you have to leave to go home or take the stage like the true, under-rated rock star you are. With Aventine Hill "gone" we have to work super duper hard to even just meet up at the movies, coffee, dinner, small gatherings, whatever.

Liam and Lisa, hadnt seen you guys for so long, seems like a year Id say, as soon as I saw you guys at the party there was no hesitation, there was no uncomfortness, there was just a kiss, hug, handshake and it was like we had just seen each other the day before.

Kelly, pretty damn cool person, thanks a bunch for making the effort to pop over and spread some hugs, we WILL do a shoot together if you like it or not!

Trent, another member of the geek brotherhood, if its not at your house stealing bandwidth its at my house drinking or about to go drinking, between the bandwidth, designated driving, and buying me and antique Macintosh computer for my birthday, your awesome

John, no matter whats goin on around you theres a sense of happyness, fun and awesomeness, keep up the good vibes and we will have plenty of BBQ's and Bud's in the future

To both my blood, and inherited families, there is way to much love between the two of you, I now have two brothers, a sister, two mothers, two fathers and some extras aswell, (I dont know what title Tom and Maria have....step sibling? :-/ bah I dont know)

And my girlfriend and partner in crime, Loz, there really isnt enough I could say about you, if you want to base what I have to say about you just on this one night I think thats the easiest option to take, from all of your running around and helping with the party, to coming to our first business meeting with me, if you werent with me at the party you were still at the party being an awesome host, drinking and making sure everything was getting done, I love you more than anything in the world babe and I am so giddy and nervous with what is possible if we just put out minds together, from organising a business to organising a BBQ birthday party. Everything with you is so exciting.

Pretty much to sum it all up guys, the party was awesome, and humid. But there was alcohol, metal music, BBQ and lots of laughing and talking.

Thankyou to all who came and even those who didnt but atleast let me know they werent and why before hand, I deliberately invited a select group of people for a reason, there are no friends, or best briends or close friends, I count all of you as family and wouldnt have had it any other way, I may not have many friends, but I definately have one of the best families in the world. Families dont always have to be blood based.

Ryan.

oh How wonderful you are! We were more than happy to come over - help eat subway, the tarts Loz made and being a part of the "Moist" team.
it shows how much of a"granny" Corey and Myself were (and Chantel) by turning up at around 7-ish.
Can't wait to work for more projects! I have plenty in mind! PLENTY!
