ThisWeek'sShowCancelled

I am sorry to say that this week's episode of HurricaneOne News is not going to air. There are many factors that play into this decision.
1. HurricaneOne and Co-Stars are busy getting ready for a trip away to Taupo this weekend.
2. There is not that much going on. It has been a very slow and boring news week. However I will share with you information that I have.
3. A few people have written in and asked for some information on the stars of the show. So you will get background of the characters to help better understand them.
Just a FYI I enlisted the help of the one and only Mango McCarthy to help with this weeks typings as there is so much. Kind of like a data entry b*tch but with some responsibilities.

No new entertainment news other than the charts changing again. Well kind of... with the exception of Chris Brown that is.

As for the weather, the "HighTechnologyMap" is status quo. and Mr. Weathermap is getting his gear together to analyze the weather down in Taupo.
In sports nothing happened this weekend. The All Blacks had a weekend off to prepare for their showdown with defending world champs South Africa. The hockey did not happen as the rain prevented the camera crew to get to the game to even find out the result. And running had the weekend off but resumes this weekend with North Island Champs in Taupo.
As for Mikey Pee he has been locked in his room planning something for the next news cast. I dont know what that is but I hope it is good. We really need to get to a cool site and check it out. Maybe Taupo will bring some ideas the Mr. Pee's fantastical brain.
I, HurricaneOne have one thing to say... this show if produced would of stunk like three day old baby diapers. Take care for now Buh Bye

HurricaneOne News
Real Name: Hurricane Number One
Age: 29 HT: 6'11" WT: 165
Occupation: Entertainer
Mr. One decided to take up a career in Entertainment three months back. Bored with his day job, NZ Post, he decided that there had to be something better to do with his life. While at work one day he came up with the bright idea for an online TV news broadcast. After establishing a studio and some equipment it was time to get down to the dirty work, a catchy name. He fought with himself day and night over what to be called. "Thunderstorm" "Category3"etc etc until one day he received a letter in the mail with his name misspelled. It was addressed to HurricaneOne, Brillant he thought and it went from there.
With the backing of his family and friends HurricaneOne hopes to takeover the internet video world. With the task at hand HurricaneOne looks to take a step closer to inernet video domination everyday.
While at work with NZ Post Mr. One was the greatest employee that the Post world had ever seen. Winning employee of the month a record 344 months in a row, a Cal Ripken Jr like streak. He once delivered both sides of the street with mail, and didnt fall. He has also cycled to the top of the sky tower to bring them their mail and his greatest feet was outcycling a wild horse to save three children from being trampled. NZ Post was sad to see Mr. One go but they understood that he has better things to come in his life.
Real Name: Raymond Kevin Weathermap
Age 50 HT 5'7" WT 128
Occupation: Weather Technology Expert
Mr. Weathermap is the Senior member of the Hurricane news team. Weathermap began is career back with a regional radio news firm WKXP circa 1978. In this era being a meteorologist was more important than having people skills, personality, or looks. This era also marked one of the oddest cultural fads to sweep the Auckland region to date. During the summer of 1981 celebrities and catwalk models began dating meteorologist in record numbers. Meteorologist’s became the ultimate fashion accessory much like small dogs of a few years ago. Weathermap was one of the most popular with the ladies as he is reported to have engaged in 7 high profile relationships and two failed marriages. Unfortunately, the fad ended just 8 weeks after it began. Weatherman returned to WKXP but in his coworkers words “lost his groove” Weathermap’s ratings plunged and he was driven to alcoholism.
Weathermap’s fortunes changed in 2008 while attending a court mandated AA meeting at Hurricane news headquarters as part of their many outreach programs. As the Hurricane news meteorologist was working with the ageless HighTechnologyMap a freak malfunction sent 1.21 gigawats of electricity through his body killing him instantly. With only minuets till the broadcast and no time for repairs the down on his luck Weathermap volunteered to do the news citing he had nothing more to lose. Miraculously the HighTechnologyMap worked fine and Weatherman’s TV career was launched. To this day Weathermap refuses to do the weather without his beloved HighTechnologyMap which gave him his big break over 20 days ago. In case you are wondering, yes Weathermap did get his groove back to its 1981 levels. He has just celebrate his twenty first year of being sober and has paid his debts to society. . He now resides in Takapuna with a former runway model wife Nancy and 6 children.
Real Name: Michael Louis Petrina
Age 23 HT:5'9" WT 130
Occupation: Sports Guru
Treen Dawg is cool calm and collected, never letting anything bother him. Treen has been with the Hurricane news team since the beginning. He met HurricaneOne at Pat's Garage where they both were enjoying a Speights and watching the Hurricanes v. Crusaders. This meeting struck Treen as a perfect opprotunity to engage his sports knowledge to the world. Ever since that night he has been delighting us with his presense on the broadcast.
Before that faithful night Treen was a free lance sports guru travelling the world watching and remebering useless sports trivia. As a young lad he and some buddies used to fill out March Madness brackets. He recieved the name Treen Dawg from a buddy that was in on the brackets. The buddies name is Sin Dawg. Ever since then in the sports world Michael is known as Treen Dawg. He has forever had a love affair with all sports and this affair continues to grow as he continues to travel from place to place.
He currently works closely with HurricaneOne and has seem to become his right hand man. Known on the show for the sportscouch, the couch that travels the world with Treen, and his sweet HandleBar mustache. What is not known about Treen Dawg is that the handlebar mustache can be grown in under 30 seconds. So when you see him on the show without a mustache that means he has just shaved and his segment takes 6-10 cuts to allow for him to keep his boyish good looks.
Real Name: Unknown
Age Young/Old HT ??? WT ???
Occupation: BAMF
Little is known about Mikey Pees early years leading many to speculate that there really is no beginning for this guy. He is more of a force of nature rather than a man. Mikey Pee has excelled at every endeavor he has ever undertaken. Mikey Pee acknowledges that he was once a child and the Pee name lead to problems at school (location and dates unknown). This led Mikey Pee to peruse individualistic endeavors like cooking, scientific study and most importantly running. It was immediately apparent that he stood head and shoulders above his peers at EVERYTHING. Carefully inspection of Mikey P shows that his body and mind have been sculpted with the precision of Donatello, Michelangelo, Leonardo, Raphael (not the ninja turtles). Few are said to have witnessed this perfection aside from Mr. Pee’s calves.
Although he appears to be the youngest member of the hurricane news team, it is believed his is the oldest. This also lends itself to the intelligent design theory of his creation. He is the rookie of the Hurricane news crew, as he has currently focused his attention at dominating the news world.
Rumors have begun to circulate on Hurricane News fan Blogs that Mikey Pee may in fact be Jason Rexing. It is believed that Jason’s tendency to run solely in the northern hemisphere may have destabilized the earth’s orbit (secretly leaked NASA documents). Mikey’s appearance to Hurricane News came about just two weeks before the leak. The Rexing hypothesis may also explain many of the above anomalies

CatchingYouUp

Hello Everyone, Man do I have a lot to catch you up on, and I have some requests that I need to fulfill. Where to begin work, running, and producing... Lets start with work!
PostieMike
As you should know I am a Postie, a damn good postie at that. This past week they decided to reward me with my efforts. First off I was given a little present from New Zealand Post to show their appreciation for my ass kicking Postie skills. You may call me the Karl Malone of NZ Post. O Yeah the present, I was given a nice set of cheese knives and a cutting board to put cheese and crackers on. It is really handy and nice except for the fact that I sliced my finger the other night while cleaning the knives. So now I am sueing NZ Post for pain and suffering. Just Kidding this is not America, they dont do that kind of stuff here.
In other news at work they are giving me a new run, a more difficult and rewarding run, a run that comes with overtime $$ However before I move onto my new $ run I must train my replacement on my old run. Rai is his name and he is a brand new postie, only been there a few days and he will be learning under my supervision. It is kind of crazy that I have been there less than three months and I am training someone. People have been there decades and are trusted to train someone. Yet another reason I was deserving of the cheese board. I just want to state that I am gloating because God punished by slicing my finger, so I will gloat to show you that I deserved to be sliced and diced.
Also at work they had a little contest, fill out a post card mail it to headquaters in Wellington and that gave you a shot to win tickets to see Opshop. Opshop is a kickass NZ band that I have played for you guys in previous posts. So I filled out my postcard went down to the post shop, bought my stamp and mailed off the card. Ten days later I receive a package and it is two tickets for Opshop Kickass... I was sooooooo... pumped, I screamed like a little school girl at a Nsync concert. It was totally freakin' awesome. So the concert is July 12th, a nice little Bday gift from NZ post to me... man I must be doing something right at that place.
Where do I go from there, of course to my other job...Runner
"Run Forrest Run"
The training has been going real well, and I have been slacking on keeping those that care up to date on my training. It was brought to my attention this week that I should start posting my running again. Thank You Mango... So I will give you my log for the last two weeks and continue to do so for the rest of my entire life. Here it is...

Total 79 miles 9 hours+ running for the week.

HurricaneOne Production Warmth
sun is out the weather here is not too bad, nice and warm bareable. When the sun gets hiddent by the clouds and goes down at night it gets a little nippy. Around here not many houses/flats have central heating. They either have a fire place or a central heating unit in the main room. That means that the bedroom, bathroom and kitchen are cold when you leave the heating unit. At night when you go to bed you need to wear sock, long pants and sweatshirts, however some Kiwis like to jump into bed with a hot water bottle. It saves you from ahve to wear all that extra clothing to bed...hat scarf gloves etc. To make my story come to life I have my second short film that I would like to share with everyone.
The World Premiere of Warmth




I think I mentioned everything, I hope that everything is going well for those back home. Any questions, suggestions.... I forgot I have a friend who wants to say something...
