*DISCLAIMER* I did not create this icebreaker. My friend showed it to me… (Thanks Soph!! ;P)

Me: “How much does a polar bear weigh?”

Person: “I don’t know.”

Me: “Enough to break the ice. Hi I’m Maddi.”

I’ve come up with a way to start this blog; an icebreaker!! I love a good corny  icebreaker! (if you have any good ones, send them to me!! ;P) Sure, it’s probably not the easiest thing to segue out of to begin a new topic, but we’ll have to make do with what we’ve got this time around.

Today, I’m writing this on the morning on Wednesday April 25^th (please note that this will most probably be posted at a later date ;P) which is a public holiday for Australia & New Zealand. It’s ANZAC Day. A day where we can pay our respects to those who fought for our countries in World War I. I attended my school’s ANZAC service yesterday & was privileged to lead the Australian national anthem. I feel so very honored to call Australia home! (all the Aussies will have that song in their heads after reading that last little bit… you know what song I’m talking about!! ;P)

All this aside, I now have today off, so I am about to head to the gym with my older brother Lachy, then my schoolmate Josh is coming over at midday. He is just as obsessed with music as I am, so hopefully we’ll have a good jam, write a song… who knows?! (FUNFACT: Josh is the younger brother of my current drummer Justin!) But we really just like to hang out together, he is one of my best friends… & he is stinking hilarious!

I guess you could say, there wasn’t a lot of point to this blog, but hey, I’m just blessed to be alive, happy & healthy thanks to our ANZACs. I feel like a bit of a history teacher talking about Australian history!! So I’m rather impressed that you have made it to the end of BLOG THREE with out falling asleep like it was history class ;) (I kid the history teachers!! Most of the stuff is rather interesting!! ;P)

Big love,

Maddi
