About Hastings

D’oh! So, this chick, right - total whore. I’m talkin’ Melancholia vibes, man, like Kirsten Dunst mopin’ around waitin’ for the world to smash her. “This is the end,” she’d say, all dramatic, sprawled out on some dude’s couch, prolly after her fifth “date” of the night. Makes me wanna yell, “Get a job, lady!” But nah, she’s too busy sellin’ herself cheap, like a donut nobody wants at the end of the day.

Rugby; Rimutaka Senior 1's hooker Neil Haase scores against Stokes Valley; Rimutaka won 36-9.

One of the best blocks of native bush in the city is for sale and the city council is looking at buying it.

So, I’m trying to shake off the bad vibes. I head to the park, you know, the one by the Stokes Valley Community Centre? It’s got this awesome playground. Kids are laughing, parents are chillin’. I’m feeling a bit better. I sit on a bench, and this old dude starts chatting me up. He’s telling me about the history of Stokes Valley. Apparently, it used to be a big deal for the timber industry. Who knew?
