Well, it has been an incredible 2012 but now comes 2013 as we begin the new year with a big bang theory, by moving in to 31 Kings Avenue (The NEW Violet Systems Lab) on the 3rd of January after spending just 5 & a half years living at 43 Rimu Street (I started calling that place the Violet Systems laboratory research facility before leaving that place for a new home) beginning from the 30th of June, 2007.
Then a month later, we went to Raetihi for Hera Ruby's 21st birthday because we stayed over at Ohakune because I did enjoy that 21st at the cossie club by having a excellent but great food & drink and I did watch the rugby there when the Brumbies beat the Reds (Who went on to beat the Tahs (Round 2) & Hurricanes in round 3 when Conrad Smith (Canes Captain), was the victim who got pushed by a NZ born Australian ref, Steve Walsh (As seen from the referee cam) then a week later I watched the Blues (Now coached none other than Sir John 'JK' Kirwan) win by beating the Hurricanes by watching it here on Prime a week after her 21st and then another week later (The Blues also beat the Crusaders at Eden Park), I watched the Dave Rennie coached defending Super Rugby champion Chiefs (Who beat the Highlanders when the Blues won) play against the Cheetahs so I did not watch the 1st half due to their poor/woeful performances but they did improve better in the 2nd half before effectively winning the match.
And what about Kiwi Shane van Gisbergen (AKA SVG or The Giz) performing well for his new team Tekno Autosports by driving a Holden (No longer driving a Ford except in the V8 Supertourers in his rookie season) to victory in Race 2 after claiming 2 pole positions in both days (He retired in Race 1 because Craig Lowndes won but meanwhile, the 19 year old talented V8 Supercar driver Scott McLaughlin (The inaugural V8 Supertourer Champion) was the best of the New Zealanders in 6th on his full time debut since already made his official V8 debut at Sandown and competed at Australia's greatest race, the Bathurst 1000 until Mclaughlin stepped up as a emergency replacement (After winning the second-tier V8 Championship promoting his status as a full-time driver for this year's championship as well as becoming a spiritual successor to his idol Greg Murphy (Who is no longer contesting full-time by joining the Holden Racing Team for the endurance events) at the final race of the 2012 season at the Sydney Olympic Park Circuit) in the 2013 Clipsal 500 (The 1st race of the new look V8 Supercar season including the unexpected return of Nissan and the arrival of Mercedes-Benz to Australian Motorsport as well as the all new Car of The Future rules) despite the legal battles surrounding his former team Stone Brothers Racing (Now Erebus Motorsport since their switch from Ford Falcons to the all new Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG's) as well as his departure from the International V8 Supercar Championship but finally he decided to make a comeback from the sport indeed despite not quitting (He has now 3 V8 Supercar victories (1 in Hamilton 2011, the other in Hidden Valley 2011 & now, the Clipsal 500 2013) under his belt).
And finally, on this 1st blog of 2013, what about the Harlem Shake, a viral video that has crazed millions worldwide when the video starts with a guy dancing around before others could join in the act. But several individuals who performed the Harlem Shake are: Manchester City FC, The Blues & Crusaders Super Rugby franchises, Basketballer LeBron James & NASCAR drivers Jeff Gordon & Jimmie Johnson.
Well, well, well...Perhaps this is the greatest start of the new year of 2013 with the Super Rugby season already started but the new NRL Premiership begins with Sonny Bill Williams on his NRL comeback when he debuts for his new team, the Sydney Roosters take on rivals the South Sydney Rabbitohs tonight (And then on Saturday, the Matt Elliot coached Warriors begin their NRL campaign against the Eels over in Parramatta).
