Today was Thursday so Pops was here whilst I was in the shower so I was ready to get dressed to go to Mitre 10 but 1st I had to finish the moccachino then brush my teeth so I could be with Poppa & we went & after that, we went to New World to get the meal deal as well as some stuff to take but we went to Bark & Boulders Landscape Supplies in Wanganui to get the ponga was well as the bark before we went to 15A Kells Avenue & guess who was there, it was Diana Kent (Who lives in Palatine which is a suburb of Chicago, Illinois) & I did meet her (And I also haven't seen her since last year but I told her that when Nan died from cancer, she was on a holiday so she went back home & got a email to inform that Nan passed away) but before that we had to do some garden jobs but I cannot vaguely remember now that we did some work on the garden (Although Pops & I showed Diana Nan's Memorial Garden which I labelled as The Shire which is taken from the movie, The Lord Of The Rings (Which featured the likes of Elijah Wood (Frodo Baggins), Sir Ian McKellen (As Gandalf who played the villainous Magneto in X-Men), Viggo Mortensen (As Aragorn who is armed with a sword who appears in films such as Hidalgo & the 2006 flick, A History Of Violence), Orlando Bloom (As Legolas who is also armed with a bow), Sean Bean (Ned Stark from Game of Thrones who plays Boromir), John Rhys-Davies (As the axe-wielding Gimli who is with Lisa Manning), the late Christopher Lee (As Saruman who portrayed Dracula as well as Count Dooku & Willy Wonka's father Wilbur), Liv Tyler (As Arwen Undolmiel who is the daughter of Aerosmith lead singer Steven Tyler), Cate Blanchett (As Galadriel), Sean Astin (Samwise 'Sam' Gamgee), Dominic Monaghan (Meriadoc ''Merry'' Brandybuck), Billy Boyd (Peregrin ''Pippin'' Took), Andy Serkis (As Gollum who always says: MY PRECIOUS!!!), Hugo Weaving (As Elrond who also played Agent Smith from The Matrix that I have mentioned before in my Euro 2016 final blog) & Ian Holm (As Frodo's dad, Bilbo Baggins who appeared in the 1997 movie starring Bruce Willis (AKA John McLane from Die Hard), Milla Jovovich (That's Alice from the Resident Evil movies), Gary Oldman (Ivan Korshunov/Commissioner James Gordon/Sirius Black) & Chris Tucker (And also, Rush Hour's Detective James Carter) directed by Frenchman Luc Besson (Who was with Milla Jovovich before she is now with the director of Mortal Kombat & the Resident Evil film series, Paul W. S. Anderson), The Fifth Element, portraying the role of Father Vito Cornelius) & after that, I had a chat to Diana to tell everything what is going on such as Donald Trump because I thought Trump was ahead of Hillary Rodham Clinton in the poll for the US election but now that Clinton is ahead of Trump & Diana said that it was a really good question because she was impressed about it although she told me that she's going to Soldier Field (Home of the Chicago Bears) to watch the All Blacks play again to take on Ireland because she has been to that ground before when the All Blacks took on the USA Eagles (The AB's won 74 - 6 convincingly) 2 years ago but I told her about she does not have children like me, John Coburn & Aunty Tania & I thought she was coming with her niece Emily Shrout but she did not come, opting to stay in Chicago because she has nephews such as Alex & Casey (I told her that she has sons but she doesn't because Alex & Casey are her nephews but I did not know that Emily has 2 brothers) & she has cousins as well as telling her that I don't have a cousin (Because Aunty Tania doesn't have any children) but I do now because I have 3 cousins such as Paige Williams (Who I know is the daughter of Cathey Middelplaats because I once told Diana that Nan had a baby named Cathey because Nan doesn't know how to take care of her but the Middelplaats family adopted her instead), Luca & Nico Mitchell (I almost forgot to tell that Cathey had 2 sons with her current partner John Mitchell but family matters anyway) & I also told her about going to the South Island in January 2017 (Which is next year) so me & my whole family are going in a once in a life-time trip because Aunty Tania's French Canadian partner Raejean had never ever been to the South Island & after having a relatively good chat, we went to Caroline's for a lunch which is my dinner by the way because I was always having a rare steak with blue cheese sauce, fries & salad which felt great as well as having a carrot cake (Which is my favourite cake of all time) & mocchachino & I also chatted to Diana lots about she had been to New York City, New York as well as Los Angeles, California & Houston, Texas as well as her favourite food which is cheese (Although mines gotta be pasta by the way for 16 years (Well I've tried it at an italian restaurant in Petone & I quite liked it ever since) since 2000 (The same year that Sydney hosted the Olympic games as well as the Russell Crowe movie Gladiator came out, France beating Italy with a golden goal to win Euro 2000 & Michael Schumacher winning his 3rd of his 7 illustrious Formula 1 World Championship titles) because I had pasta last night (Well I do like pizza, stir fries & sushi at the moment but pasta is always my option) & her greatest moment of her life was having a retirement party because now she is officially retired from school teaching (My greatest moment of my life was the All Blacks winning the Rugby World Cups of 2011 & 2015 because we mastered the art of rugby) as well as that I'm officially friends with her so she gave me a card about her name & email address (She is 56 now because she was born in 1960 & she 1st came to New Zealand in 1988 (She was 28 at the time & that same year that Canadian sprinter Ben Johnson was stripped of his gold medal in the 100m at Seoul in South Korea due to steroid use after being tested positive to stanozolol, handing the gold to American Carl Lewis & I told her that we had a successful campaign in Rio with 4 gold medals, 9 silvers & 5 bronzes but didn't Diana's country of birth do well at the Olympics as the USA (Which stands for United States of America) topped the medal table ahead of Great Britain with 46 golds, 37 silvers & 38 bronze medals but Pops told Diana that Fiji won it's very 1st ever gold medal at the games by winning rugby sevens (And who did they take on in the gold medal match? It was Great Britain) but I do not believe my eyes that their country, is now officially a rugby sevens mad nation) whenever I want to & after that, we went back to 15A Kells Avenue but I told Diana a question (I told Poppa at Caroline's that I talked about All Black Anton Lienert-Brown (Who is a self proclaimed fan of British reggae band UB40) because his name Anton is Russian for Anthony because he's an All Black with a Russian name (Although there's another Anton who played in the All Blacks was Anton Oliver, who is the son of Frank Oliver) just like Leon Benbaruk told me that Pawel is Polish for Paul & Pierre is French for Peter but that is according to him who is my friend & mentor along with Hanne & Sophie because Diana had never met Leon who was born in Morocco because he was raised in Montreal, Quebec, Canada to do some university work there because he was graduated way back then because he was a Rhodes scholar & he lived here in New Zealand 36 years ago compared to Hanne who has been living here for 43 years) about she has seen the Liam Neeson movie Taken or not because she said no & I did a famous line of the movie which is ''I don't know who you are, I don't know what you want but what I do have is a very particular set of skills'' but Pops told me that Arnold Schwarzenegger was my favourite actor but I was blown away when I said ''Hasta la vista, baby'' & ''I'll be back'' which is kinda hard case or should I say hilarious. And after we got back to 15A Kells Avenue, Pops & I went back to work to focus on the stuff & after that, I read all of the Richie McCaw books such as Richie McCaw - The Open Side (Which is about his autobiography leading up the events to the 2011 Rugby World Cup in which he became the 1st All Black captain since David Kirk in 1987 to lift the William Webb Ellis Trophy (Although Kirk became the 1st & last All Black captain to lift the World Cup trophy, I had absolutely no idea that Richie McCaw was the next All Black captain to do that (Some tried & failed such as Gary Whetton, Sean Fitzpatrick, Taine Randell & Reuben Thorne) & Richie McCaw 148 (Which is about his 148 test caps for the All Blacks including his debut against Ireland featuring Brian O'Driscoll in 2001 & 2 Rugby World Cup triumphs in 2011 & last year) but guess Poppa saw? It was Anne (Who gave me a sample of ginger slice) who was with her daughter Lauren who showed Nan's memorial garden as well as having afternoon tea (I drank sparkling water (Well I changed my mind after I turned down the offer to drink) & ate some slice) & having a chat to them (Well I told Diana that Caroline's does not hold 30,000 people because I saw on youtube about the Red Hot Chili Peppers told Moe Szylak that they told their agent that Moe's Tavern holds more than 30,000 people on an episode on The Simpsons & I ended up saying that famous line that Homer Simpson always says: D'OH!!! which is sure as hell as funny although Anne told us that somebody got the right answer on a gameshow called The Chase about a trip to Canada which is Ha ha, ho ho or he he because one of the contestants is a fan of Family Guy not The Simpsons because I used to tune in to The Simpsons because the last time I watched the show was last year in 2015 during our trip in the Coromandel with the late Nan & Pops) & before they go, Pops had an amazing concert singing one of their amazing songs before it was Lauren's turn to have a performance because she was an opera singer because her singing voice was like one of the best in the world because she sang like hell like a primadonna because I'm so impressed on her performance (Well, I smiled about it because it was a miracle but Lauren told us that she would be heading to Chicago on her university work) & guess who was here?! It was Leslee who arrived late because she was coming to have afternoon tea when Anne & Lauren left. But a few minutes later, I was going with Leslee to take her home because I said goodbye to both Diana & Pops & during out drive home, I told her that she would be going to the South Island for 3 weeks & when I arrived back after saying thanks for the ride & goodbye to Lesley, Dad was here (After spending several days in Te Wananga in Otaki) so I put the meal deal & groceries away as possible & I told Dad that Duke Nukem 3D came out 20 years ago (It was in 1996, the same year that England hosted Euro 96 which was won by Germany as well as Atlanta hosted the summer Olympics, Bill Clinton re-elected as President of the United States, a Mad Cow Disease that rocked across the UK which resulted export of British Beef being banned as a result, Sri Lanka winning the Cricket World Cup (New Zealand was out of it after losing to Australia (Who lost to Sri Lanka in the final) which featured the likes of Mark Waugh who scored 110 not out for his 3rd century of the World Cup in the quarterfinal (Although Chris Harris had a century of 130 runs) by 7 wickets with a Aravinda da Silva century of 107 not out, John Howard elected Prime Minister of Australia, Will Smith's movie Independence Day came out along with Eddie Murphy's The Nutty Professor, rapper Tupac Shakur getting shot mutiple times in a drive-by shooting & killed 6 days later, Damon Hill winning his 1st & only Formula 1 World Championship by 19 points, horror classic Scream starring Neve Campbell & Courtney Cox of Friends, also came out along with the Jerry Maguire movie starring Tom Cruise, Cuba Gooding Jr & Renee Zellweger & the All Blacks (Featuring the likes of coach John Hart, captain Sean ''Fitzy'' Fitzpatrick, Craig Dowd, Olo Brown, Ian ''Kamo'' Jones, the Brooke brothers of Robin & Zinzan (AKA Zinny), Michael ''Iceman'' Jones, Josh ''Crusher'' Kronfeld, Justin ''Marshie'' Marshall, Simon Culhane, Glen ''Oz'' Osborne, Walter Little (Father of North Harbour player Michael), Frank Bunce (Current Thames Valley Swamp Foxes assistant coach), Jeff ''Goldie'' Wilson (Who is married to Silver Fern Adine), Christian ''The Paekakariki Express'' Cullen & Jon ''JP'' Preston) finally winning a test series against South Africa for the 1st time after many years of failed attempts) & the Tom Cruise flick Mission Impossible came out) so I said to him ''Hail to the King baby'' anything as possible but Dad heard that line because I did not know that one of my Dad's friends who lives on Otaki, Clayton Cook played Duke Nukem 3D before because it was a relatively good game because Dad loved Duke Nukem 3D so much but I prefer Doom which is such another very excellent game & after that kerfuffle, I had sausage rolls for dinner after having that big lunch today & so here I am, doing a blog about today but I have a gimmick which is listening to alternative rock & heavy metal music (With bands such as 3 Doors Down, Green Day, Godsmack, Halestorm, Korn, Limp Bizkit, Live, Pearl Jam, Red Hot Chili Peppers (Which is one of my favourite rock bands (Although one of the Wanganui rugby players named Gavin Thornbury is a self proclaimed fan of the band that I have mentioned before in my blog about the lunch with John & Lim & Wanganui rugby report & well, I've got a Red Hot Chili Peppers T-Shirt that I've got) along with Foo Fighters & Incubus), Soundgarden & Ugly Kid Joe) on YouTube while I am writing a blog for today.
That is my 28th (XXVIIIth) blog of the year 2016 (MMXVI), later on (As I would say goodbye to the late Nan).
P.S. I went to that rugby game today between Steelform Wanganui against Horowhenua-Kapiti (We had a snack there such as chocolates, nuts, raisins as well as cheese (Diana Kent's favourite food) & crackers) & we won but I can't remember the score now & after the game, something went happened as I heard a crash involving a car & a scooter (Well, a female rider got injured seriously) that I've almost witnessed but Poppa urged me not to look too long so we headed back home because I was playing the PS4 there such as the new DIRT Rally game that I've got as well as playing the Formula 1 game which is F1 2016 because it my favourite & it is the best ever game so far.
