TEA!!!!!!!!!!

So, it’s my first day back at work for a while and i really felt like posting another message.

Now let me say this prior to writing any more, just so you don’t judge what im about to say! Im not annoyed, in fact im feeling rather deflated today and can’t stop thinking about... Someone... Ahem. However i feel the need to rant about something.

Firstly, why is it that some people are so STUPID they can’t even make you a tea? Hi there dumb girl in Costa, can i have a tea please? Yes a tea. No i didn’t ask you to concoct some sort of youth bringing elixir, nor did i ask you for the square root of 1398. I asked for a tea, it’s not hard is it?  So why is it you can BARELY place a teabag in a mug and pour water into it without making a complete mess of everything. I EVEN POUR MY OWN MILK AND ADD MY OWN SUGAR. Did you receive an education? Was it within a school on some sort of island in the North Sea where nothing lives except for fungi? Common. It’s not hard. Focus love, you can do it. I know your job sucks, but it’s a job. We all hate our jobs unless you essentially do nothing and earn millions. How i hate those bastards... Anyway getting slightly off topic here!

So yes, now that i’ve got that off my chest i feel much better. Funny how typing something about being annoyed actually makes you feel better? In order to accelerate that feeling im watching James Bond, Tomorrow Never Dies. Awesome? I THINK SO. Everyone wants to be James Bond, and Pierce Brosnan was always the best one in my opinion. Although i think Goldeneye was better.

Anyway! As you can see, “im back”. Although the deflated feeling still exists so im not quite back on top of my game yet.

I forgot that i haven’t written the rant about Tate Modern yet. I will try and ensure i do it this week, as we did make some excellent notes whilst there and it was somewhat amusing.

Stay tuned later in the week, it’ll be a long post!

Over and out.

It's been a while!

So, it’s been a while... Damn that is an awesome song by Staind! Firstly, let me give the reasons why i haven’t posted anything in a while. Well, it’s mainly just one reason... I haven’t been very angry! I’ve had a nice long 4 day weekend, it’s been really nice and relaxing and i feel so placated, more than i have in a very long time.

Apologies for not wanting to come and rant about things, i know how you all love it. The main reason why i want to post something today was to relay a reading from my Grandfathers funeral which touched something in me. Here goes;

You can shed tears that he is gone,

Or you can smile because he lived.

You can close your eyes and pray that he will come back,

Or you can open your eyes and see all that he has left.

Your heart can be empty because you can’t see him.

 Or you can be full of the love that you shared.

You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday,

Or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday.

You can remember him and only that he is gone,

Or you can cherish his memory and let it live on.

You can cry and close your mind, be empty and turn back,

Or you can do what Jack would want:

Smile, open your eyes, love and go on.

How lovely is that? I think i must have read it through 4 or 5 times and it just makes you feel better. Less sad and all that.

I don’t have much to talk about really. Other than i bought some new trainers which are SO comfortable!  I also went to see a friend of a friend sing in her band on Friday night. Which was awesome! She was fantastic really, wasn’t sure what to expect but a really talented singer showed her face that night.

It’s back to work tomorrow, so no doubt i will come home fuming with new anger and rants about how rubbish everything is. Oh well, i guess it’s best to enjoy the relaxing moments whilst you can, it better prepares you for the stresses ahead!

Hope you all had a nice weekend.

All the best.

The circle of life

It’s a morning blog today! I have been granted compassionate leave to attend my Grandfathers funeral this afternoon, and i thought asi haven’t written anything since the weekend, i would write something this morning.

I always find funerals rather difficult to deal with. I remember 3.5 years ago when i had to attend the funeral of my cousin who had been killed while on patrol in Iraq. That was certainly one of the most difficult things i have ever had to deal with. A waste of a young life. I remember coming home on that day and just being completely drained, both physically and mentally.

I don’t think it will be like that this time, someone who dies when they’re 95 makes you feel like they have lived enough of their life to do the things they most want to do. I think at least everyone deserves that much out of their life.

So i guess my message is that you have to live your life. I know it’s said throughout the world, live your live for each day! And all that jazz... The way i see it, is that you don’t have to go out bungee jumping or ice climbing or whatever to live your live. You just make the best of what you have, do the things that you love and spend time with the people that mean most to you. If you manage to do that, then i think you can rest in peace knowing that while you may not have had a massive influence on the human race – You may have at least had an impact on someone’s life so that they may remember what you achieved. That is what is important, i think.

Anyway, have a good day. Im not sure i will, but the end of something always means the beginning of something else. So is the eternal circle of life. Well, until the human race passes into the abyss, but we’ll leave that for another day!!

All the best.

Desperados...

So i had a pretty awful day today...

Something pretty nasty happened while i was driving to a colleague of mine to do some out of hours work.  I won’t go into detail, but it ended with me having to call the police. Some things you just don’t think will ever happen to you, you read about it and you see it on TV. It all seems so removed, but then it happens to you and you realise how desperate the world around you really can be. It’s a scary place out there sometimes.

So i ended up having another shitty weekend. I can’t remember the last time i had a nice weekend. Hoping that next weekend will be better since we’re all going out for Mexican, and that’s never a bad thing. I’m also being treated to the comic hilarity that is ‘Orgasmo’. Jams says it’s epic, i have yet to find out. Here’s hoping he’s right... Still, it’s something to look forward to right?

So i was at my friends on Friday night. He’s a long standing friend, we met in my first year of school, so i would have been what? 5 or 6? So we’ve been friends for almost 20 years. Only being 25, i think that’s quite an achievement. We always end up having these long philosophical conversations about life and where things are going and why we are 25, yet feel about 18. It’s always interesting to talk about while things have changed over the years, so much in fact remains the same. We still love the same things, still talk to each other the same way we did when we were 15. It’s slightly odd, but strangely familiar. Which i think is a nice thing to have.

Im not sure what im writing about tonight, just feel like talking randomly for a while. I guess it’s because of what happened earlier, which was very very scary. I hope nothing like it ever happens again. Although i must admit, i think im dealing with it quite well. 5 years ago i would have been an emotional mess, but im actually ok. Sign of the times, or maybe the fact that i don’t really care if i die tomorrow? That’s not something that’s worth putting much thought into i guess... It’s been a rough day.

I will leave you with a simple quote from my favourite ever TV series.

“But needs must when the Devil vomits into your kettle”.

Blackadder, the funniest show to ever grace a television.

Take care.

On the joys of public service

I started writing a poem about work. I was thinking about calling it 'An ode to public service'. Here's what I've managed so far:

'Another week of fun and frolics is over

it really is a wonder that I'm still sober

every piece of news is like a great big hug

that slowly suffocates the remaining resistance out of you...'

I think I lost the rhythm there a bit at the end...sigh...

No doubt readers will be aware of the public sector's time honoured position as 'government whipping boy'.

Cuts need to be made. Fun. But raising taxes might make the mob a bit tetchy, what to do...oh, I know, let's kick those chaps who work for us, you know the unpopular ones the voters all shit over anyway.

They don't really need good pensions, do they? They don't really need average wages. Hell, some of them don't really even need jobs. Who gets hurt, I mean, really?
...

My position:

Yes, I'm not particularly happy with the current situation. Yes, I surprise myself with how vehement I can become on the subject. Yes, I realise there are millions of people worse off than me. Yes I realise I shouldn't moan/complain/whine about it as much as I do. Stiff upper lip and all that.

And, Yes, I recognise that it is great to have a job in the middle of a recession.

I am reminded of the above on most days by family members/work colleagues/managers and various media outlets. Hey, lets face it, I'm a lucky guy - with my secure, high paying, low-stress job, that is at the end of the day, a job. What could I possibly have to be upset about?

But the constant stream of bad news has become something of a daily occurrence now. A ritual that has become almost masochistic - the surprise having long since fled to be replaced by a stunned 'my word, they really do cut things most impressively, don't they?' expression.

If it's not news of how much a budget is to be cut, or how much more work in less time this will require, then it's the press publishing figures of how crap we're all doing. This creates something of a negative atmosphere.

Much of this is admittedly fuelled by office rumour mongering - the flood apparently crests on the horizon, yet no visible signs of the water quickening do I see, yet still there are those who panic and head for higher ground, hoping to outrun the deluge they are sure is coming. Sometimes but not always.

But even rumour has a way of wearing you down.

And when I say 'negative atmosphere' it does not, as you might expect, reveal itself in a great sobbing and shaking of fists. No, what amazes me is the shocked look that is splayed across people's faces, the rueful sighs and the scattered laughter, verging on the hysterical, at our predicament.

There is little energy apparent in the bemused expressions of my co-workers. Across Europe similar levels of cuts have been met by riots and protests, undisguised rage and explosive rhetoric.

But I certainly feel no such thirst for self-righteous displays in myself or my co-workers.

Maybe it is the manner in which we have been so well handled by the Government. So drilled with the mantra of 'cuts, cuts, cuts', we take our fair share, our portion of the country's burden.

Maybe it is simply a fact that things really aren't as bad as we all fear and that the storm can be ridden if we just hang on to the passing driftwood.

Maybe it is simply not in our nature.

Huff.

Ironically my own position has become more secure with the massive numbers of staff who have left my particular section. The loss of friends in this manner happily not being the result of redundancies but a series of ship-jumps to more stable looking life-rafts.


Might add more to this later - I'm tired now...and a little hungry...ok, I'm going to go make myself a sandwich.

Jams out.

Royal Mail. Sell it. Sell it now.

As you may have noticed from the title, i am rather peeved at something tonight. Now let me give you the entire story prior to the annoying and frankly shocking main event. Hold on to your seats for an exciting tale of woe and incompetence.

So basically, i decided that i would try and get a new mouse. Ok, now i know you’re thinking but you purchased a mouse a week ago! Well yes i did. It was shit. So it got returned. Now i actually did some research this time and tried to find something with tons of recommendations, reviews and so forth. I did and found that the Razor Naga was probably the mouse for me. However, i had a random moment. I totally ignored all the advice, and took a punt on a brand new product on the market, which pretty much no one has reviewed yet. This being the following;

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=KB-001-OZ&groupid=702&catid=23&subcat=1257

Im not really sure why i decided to go for that mouse, was just something about the way it looked and the small bits of information i could find out about it. None the less the order was placed and i waited patiently for the item to arrive. (I also got an Ozone mouse mat with it, which turned out to be a little small but was only £6, still very very nice though).

Now firstly, they took bloody ages to process my order. I placed it on Sunday and the thing didn’t even get sent to me until Wednesday, the company is usually very prompt so don’t know what happened there.

Coming home today i was hoping to find my item happily sitting in my house. Not only was it NOT sitting in my house. IT WAS SITTING ON MY FUCKING DOORSTEP. Like right on the doorstep, at the front of my house for the entire world to see. It had probably been there all day waiting for someone to come along and steal.

I MEAN COMMON ROYAL MAIL? Yes, your company is not what it used to be. We no longer expect to get our mail delivered before 4pm and in a serviceable condition, but this? You didn’t even leave a note through my door to say you left it there. ITS PURELY THE POSTMAN BEING A LAZY BASTARD AND NOT GIVING A CRAP.

Im shocked, shocked and hurt that my lovely new mouse could have been stolen AND I WOULDNT EVEN HAVE KNOWN. Pathetic. It’s not as if postman actually have to work more than 3 hours a day is it and they still do a shit job, who knew you had to have a degree to deliver mail? Sigh, i have nothing more to say on the matter.

The mouse is awesome though so im just happy it wasn’t stolen. Highly recommend it!

Happiness! Doo doo doo...

Im in a better mood today, and the headache went away! Ah the magic of sleep... How i love it so.

Anyway i wanted to say thanks to all the people reading my blog. I realise it is but a worthless smidgen of content present on the internet, however it is certainly my little corner. I must say i was surprised to see so many people from Canada and the US visiting the site. I really should try and tart it up a little. Hmm i sense a weekend project coming on! I was also surprised to see someone from Israel reading and someone from South Africa! These stats from Google sure are interesting! (Just in case you don’t know Blogger provides stats of visitor numbers broken down by country. It’s ok, im not stalking you!)

Something else i want to convey to you all tonight is the importance of your friends. I am one of those people who tends to drop out of contact with friends over time, old school friends, uni friends... You must stay in touch with them! It’s so important, friends are one of the most important things in life. I know my friends certainly make my life so much more bearable and are an endless source of entertainment! So really, value your friends and treat them well and you will never feel alone in life.

I also have something else important to say tonight. It’s taken me probably the last 8 years to figure this out but... Be happy with who you are. Everyone is special, and who cares if you’re a nerd, a geek, a drunk or an eccentric. Embrace it. No one has the right to tell you who you should be or should live up too. When i was younger i always felt like i had to fit into the mould that society places on young people these days. I know strong people don’t feel things like that, but emotionally weaker people do. Honestly though, after taking this long to figure it out make sure you don’t make the same mistake! Don’t like clubbing? Don’t go! Go to the pub like i do and discuss the topics of the hour. Don’t drink? Who cares, drive people. They will bloody appreciate it i assure you. Be whoever you want to be, you are who you are and accepting that is the first step on the road to happiness.

Blimey, what’s going on tonight. It’s almost as if IM happy! WHAT! Surely not... No, not quite yet. The circle of happiness is yet to be complete... I will keep you update.

Bye for now.

DIE FARMVILLE DIE

So like, its Monday. MONDAY SUCKS! I must constantly repeat this because it never fails to be true. Always feel like crap on Monday. Am i the only one? Sometimes i feel like it, everyone else (except Jams) seems so cheerful on Mondays WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE LIKE THAT!? So yes i may be slightly angry today.

Something i really want to rant about today. Why do people CONSTANTLY post updates to their SHIT Facebook games? I really couldn’t care less about your latest find in Treasure Hunt Island Farm Adventure bollocks. Sorry but if you got nothing else to do all day then you shouldn’t have enough money to even own an internet connection, you hobo. Just turn it off please, im sure i could find a way to turn it off but why should i? Why should i expend effort to block your stupid spam of pointless crap that advertises shit, boring, free and tediously un-skilled games. Sure, if you want to inform me that you’re rank 1 on MoW2 or you just did some incredible awesome thing in a game that was actually made by a proper development team, go for it. Other than that i judge you for being annoying. On that note here is a link from Jams on this topic which i found somewhat amusing;

Now common that was funny wasn’t it!

In other news im trying to convince Jams to buy an Iphone 4. He is notoriously cautious with things so trying to get him to take a punt on something can be extremely difficult. Im working on it.

Totally changing the topic again, after talking to my ex ex ex girlfriend last night, i have decided to give up on the girl i have been pining after the last 6 months. She forced me to realise that if someone doesn’t want to speak to you, guess what? They don’t give a shit. So why should i give a shit about someone who doesn’t want to know me. Sounds like a no-brainer right? Well sure, but when you’re stupid like me and fiercely loyal, it can be hard to see these things. So there we go. Im over it, im past caring and i cant wait to tell her to fuck off if she ever talks to me again. FREEDOM! (Insert Scottish accent here).

I’ll try and be less angry tomorrow. Maybe i will be if this damn headache would go away.

Byeeee.

Glimmers of light

I know i know.... It’s been a while since i posted something I’ve just been slacking in everything lately i guess. So, its 1:30am and i suddenly just decided to write on my blog. Sometimes i guess it’s good to just randomly type things on the internet for people you don’t know to read!

 So yes, it’s not been the best weekend... On Friday i found out that my Grandfather had died. It wasn’t a shock, i think we had all been expecting it for some time. Although to be honest i suppose i wasn’t expecting it this soon. He had a wonderful life and i think we all knew it was just the end of his time here. 95 years old, always kind of wanted him to make the big 100 but i suppose it just wasn’t meant to be. He was loved throughout his small town and was a noted local historian, i suspect hundreds of people will come to his funeral. I for one am thankful of all the knowledge and wisdom he imparted to me, especially about the history of Wiltshire - his beloved home county. I have no doubt that he will watch over all of my family and be proud that we tell our sons and daughters of all the things we learnt from him. I will miss him always.

Friday also meant the end of my sisters current career. Again, it was something we were all expecting although i am sure everyone will agree that being made redundant is not a pleasant experience. She is of course worried but it’s funny how the worst things in life tend to bring a family together, i always think of that as a sort of blessing in disguise. I know she won’t feel like that right now, but maybe in time she will. I love my sister very much, and we get on very well which means the world to me. I love spending time with her and she has a wonderful power to impart happiness and general optimism to people around her. It’s probably why she has 12974924879 friends.

In other news another friend is going to be leaving work. That’s 3 people gone in 3 months! We have gone from 6 to only 3 in our team. She managed to get another job so that’s wonderful news and includes a huge pay rise, so im expecting a slap up meal!! Although she is only moving up the corridor from us i will miss her very much at work. She has a knack of keeping us all grounded, which i think will be sorely missed! Again, i think this will only lead to more opportunities for the rest of us that are left working there. I think i said that before somewhere... Hm!

So it’s been a very sad blog tonight, although i did try to show that even in life’s darkest moments, rays of light tend to shine through somehow. It’s what you do with that light that makes the difference to your future.

Have a good weekend.

Alex

Babies! Errr... What!?

What a life creating blog it’s going to be today!

So during work, which by the way was a lot nicer today - I actually had something to do for starters... Ahem anyway, yes during work... One of the girls who has been off on maternity leave for the past 9 months brought her baby in today! This wasn’t the first time, although it was the first time i had seen it due to not being there previous times.

I mean, call me a sucker for a face but damn that baby was so cute! She was so good as well, no screaming no crying... Just smiled and looked so happy to be alive. You can’t get much simpler than that can you? If that baby can smile and be happy with life, even for just a few moments, you think the rest of us could don’t you!

Anyway, i must admit it makes me want to have children more than i ever did before. I guess im getting to that age where having children is the normal thing to do. Although a few obstacles to climb over yet i admit... Like finding a woman to give birth to them for starters. Just that small issue that needs to be overcome and im there, Alex the dad!

Anyway!

So i bought a new mouse on the weekend, some retail therapy man style i guess you could call it. Only thing is its actually really annoying me. It’s one of these wireless ones with a mini-usb receiver thing and its lovely. However... WHY THE HELL DOES IT GO TO SLEEP AFTER 10 SECONDS!?!? I mean christ that’s annoying, i know it’s only a tiny movement delay before it starts again but common! 10 seconds!? I can understand a few minutes but when i take my hand off it to type something i don’t expect it to go to sleep for god sake. You can’t even stop it doing it it seems, so im going to have to get used to it. How irritating. The only reason they do that is so they can claim 1359732900 years battery life. I really don’t care; a year is plenty of life i just want it to work properly.

So, England match tomorrow. Im looking forward to the booing... And watching our highly over rated players try to prove their worth.

Enjoy.

Over and out.

Work work...

I wasn’t going to make a post today, but i figured i would... Mainly because im about to go to sleep and im a little bored.

I actually don’t have a lot of energy to rant even though it’s been a Monday which is always rubbish. Today was rubbish as well although i can’t really put my finger on why? I mean, work is always rubbish... The office was a little tense today for reasons which i cannot quite fathom. One thing i don’t understand about some people at work is why can’t they act normally? I mean for example... If im really really pissed off about something, when i go to work i will still be as nice as i can to people and have a laugh about things. That’s the kind of person i am, very easy going. I mean if im so pissed off that i will literally fly into an uncontrollable rage if anyone talks to me guess what i do? Oh right. I don’t talk to anyone. What’s so hard about that? Why do people take their bad moods out on colleagues? It’s not very professional is it and it makes you look like a total arse.

Maybe im asking too much of society... I mean basic social interaction and respect is not very common these days is it. They should install it in children more at a young age in my opinion. Oh and bring back national service! That’ll teach the little tykes some respect.

In other news Jams is now seriously buying a video camera. This does raise slight concerns as to what he plans to do with it... Making me look like an arse is probably quite high on the list. Although to be honest im ok with that, at least it might be entertaining. Maybe he’ll start vlogging on a regular basis? I know you all can’t wait for that!

I’ve been getting back into WoW recently. I know i can hear the groans and mocking from here... But it really is a fantastically absorbing and social game that you should try out if you play PC games. Anyone who likes fantasy and a game with fantastic lore and a wonderful background story should try it. It is certainly something i’ve dabbled in over the past 4 years and i don’t plan on stopping anytime soon. Hell, i’ve even been invited to try the Cataclysm Beta! Quite awesome... Well some awesome at least.

My level 20 Orc Warrior says hello. Rawr!

Over and out.

If you suck at driving... DONT DRIVE!

Good evening all.

I hope you’re having a nice weekend. It’s been a mixed bag for me so far actually. I attended the leaving do of said friend and colleague last night. It was a strange mix of happiness for her and yet was tinged with a mix of sadness and loss. Although we did have a good time last night to see her off, well i hope she had a great time. A certain someone didn’t last as long as some of the others due to still feeling under the weather. However the evening certainly had a few interesting stories to tell...

Firstly, as you may have gathered from my recent post and from details about my personality, im not really a bar/club type person. I enjoy sitting in a pub, pint in hand, discussing topics of current interest. I cannot comprehend why people go out of an evening dressed up as “Where’s Wally”, or a sumo wrestler and actually enjoy looking like a complete tosser. This baffles me, it really does. Another point of interest was watching another colleague/friend of mine getting really quite wasted. I had yet to see her in this state but it was quite hilarious. She wouldn’t shut the hell up for starters! Bloody women, wearing low cut tops and getting served before anyone else in the building... Sexism i tell you, sexism!

On a different topic, this evening i decided to go out for a drive. Now i did this for a number of reasons. Usually it allows me to take out a bit of anger and drive a little fast on quite roads late at night. This, in turn, helps me to calm down and feel alive at the same time. Now, i would have achieved that tonight if it hadn’t of been for the complete mass of idiots on the road this evening. Two drivers were driving so slowly i had to drop into 2^nd gear. 2^ND GEAR? COMMON. One of these was changing lanes so erratically i could only conclude that said person was pissed beyond all driving capability.

Not only this, but i got severely cut up not once but TWICE by people on roundabouts. One of which couldn’t make up their fucking mind where they wanted to go and therefore just decided to go round and round the bloody thing. See how these people spoil my plans? Now i have to come on here and by all angry about things because of their incompetence. It pains me, it really does.

That’s all for tonight i think. Tonight’s blog was angry, wasn’t it!?

Over and out.

I swear, i didn't steal the shoe!

As you probably expected, since my last post was regarding being in a malaise, i haven’t posted for a few days. This is for a several reasons... Mainly its because ive been feeling a bit unwell again and have literally no energy to type anything of interest other than whine. And secondly because ive spent a lot of my spare time hiding online trying to drown my sorrows, except i haven’t been drinking i have been pursuing rather more geeky hobbies. How enlightening.

Everyone seems to be getting ill at the moment, but Jesus don’t you hate it when people say “well there’s a lot of it going around at the moment’. REALLY? Well that makes me feel so much better thank you. You only said that because you couldn’t think of anything else to bloody say. Stop patronising me you mong.

It’s been a very slow week, i haven’t had a lot to do at work and the week has been dragging on... And on and on etc. I have spent much time at work trying to figure out a way in which i could earn lots of money without having to actually work a 9-5 job. Answers on a postcard for that one, as i have yet to come up with anything that doesn’t involve A) Selling my body (Which no one would buy anyway). B) Inventing something awesome, except im too stupid to come up with anything (Imagine the janitor from scrubs and his awesome inventions). C) Descending into the world of crime. To be honest C is looking like a good option. Maybe i should become a gentleman thief or hire cheap eastern labour to build some sort of death ray. Who knows.

Anyway, evil world domination plans aside, it is actually a sad week this week. One of my colleagues at work is moving on to another job, this is mostly jealousy because i wish i was moving to a job with prospects but i guess ill have to pretend to be all nice about it to her (Love you Shelli!). Here’s hoping she doesn’t read this before her leaving party tomorrow or i could be in a large amount of trouble...

I also did something, or well didn’t do something today that im totally annoyed about. I went and bought some new shoes in Next. I was served by a super cute geeky kind of girl who i actually probably would have had a shot with. We even had a nice bit of banter going on and i couldn’t build up the courage to do something about it. Now i regret it so badly. So if you’re the girl who thought i was trying to steal a single shoe in Bournemouth’s next store at about 12:45, leave a comment here!

On that note of rather pathetic attempt to make female contact, i shall bid you farewell. At least tomorrow is Friday, and that can’t be half bad. Can it?  

Malaise...

I know today is suppose to be Rantday, but i think im going to have to pass on it tonight. You see... Im feeling in a bit of a malaise. I can’t quite put my finger on it, just don’t feel quite right today. You know when you just don’t have the motivation to do anything i mean literally anything. I pretty much spent this whole evening lying on my couch or sitting with my laptop. Maybe i need to buy something... That always seems to make me happier.

Im in two minds about something at the moment... As i mentioned a few times before, im missing someone really special, and its getting worse. We stopped talking in an effort to get over the relationship we had, unfortunately for me it just isn’t working. I miss her more than ever and having not spoken to her, i don’t know if i should try and contact her again or not. She might well be over it all and not want to talk or whatever. So i don’t really know what to do. Maybe thats why i feel like i do right now? Probably. Isn’t it funny that you don’t realise how much you miss something until its taken away from you?

Oh, so much real life going on here today... How very healthy it is to discuss these things on the internet!

Well i had an idea to bring some cheer to the Blog tonight, does anyone else like lolcats? Essentially, if you don’t know, lolcats are pictures of cats, or sometimes other animals with witty comments underneath. I found this collection on Youtube to be of some amusement. See what you think!

Hope that cheered you up a little, post a reply if you find some other funny ones i missed! :)

Over and out.

Sit up and listen children!

Im having a rather boring Sunday, so i thought i would post something a little earlier than normal.

I just bought a new album from Itunes. A Perfect Circle – Mer de Noms. Sounds awesome, can’t wait to give it a listen through! It has become a bad habit of mine... I tend to buy a lot of music, usually once a fortnight and spend all weekend listening to it. I do love finding new music, especially when it’s sung by Maynard James Keenan. Who i think is quite possibly the greatest vocalist of this generation.

So im not really feeling any better today.. It will be a struggle to get up for work i think. Although seeing as i feel ill probably once or twice a year maximum, i guess it’s not a huge deal to miss a few days of work.  We shall see!

Another great love of mine is Formula 1. It’s one of the few sports i follow closely and never miss coverage of. I know a lot of you will say it’s boring, but when you combine it with all the off track drama and nonsense, it really is rather enthralling. I’ve been watching since i was a kid, when Damon Hill became world champion, was really amazing back then. Im an avid Lewis Hamilton fan and really do think he’s the best driver in the pit lane by some margin.

Something that has got me really annoyed today is young people, and how they seem incapable of typing legibly. I mean this ‘txt speak’ and ‘leet speak’ really annoys me. I mean can someone explain to me how congratulations, became congrats, which became grats which became gratz, which is now simply just “gz”. Also, why do people miss out letters on text messages? YOU HAVE PREDICTIVE TEXT YOU LAZY BASATARDS, USE IT. I mean what is the point of saying “gr8t” YOU SAVED ONE LETTER!?!?! Christ. I can’t even read some of the drivel that is posted on social networking sites these days, its concerning for the future i must admit. Another one is “dat”, argh that pisses me off. Are we Jamaican? DAT MELON IS DA BESTEST MON. Jesus fucking Christ. Die. Die in a fire.

You live in England, please speak the Queens English thank you very much.

Im off to make gravy, which is something i love doing!

Over and out.

They see me rollin'

Oh, its a late blog today..

So my sore throat turned into a full scale cold and has made me feel rather tired and sleepy all the time. Yet i still managed to go to the pub tonight with some friends for a bite to eat, which was nice. Although i must admit i wasn’t on top form. Which i don’t like... Because then people think im boring, when im not. How tedious.

I’ve also been busy with Starcraft 2 which has helped to take my attention off the fact i feel like death warmed up. Having just finished the campaign i must say im very happy with the way this chapter finished. Although i don’t like the fact that some of the story wasn’t finalised. Although i guess we will have to wait for the next chapter. Lets hope Blizzard can keep the standards just as high with the next 2 instalments! If anyone wants a free trial of the game i have one spare code left. It lets you play for 7 hours or 14 days, whichever finishes first. You also have to download the game from Blizzard which might take a while.

In other news, i realised tonight there was something that i wanted to rant about a few weeks back but didn’t. So here goes...

Essentially, whilst at lunch during the working week, me and Jams were walking back to the office after visiting our usual coffee shop. Now this doesn’t seem that interesting, until turning the corner approaching the office we spotted someone. Now this person could only be described as a complete and utter mong. He was fully dressed up like some sort of pimp. Complete with fur hat, ridiculous clothing and something that can only be described as a “pimp stick”, assisting him in walking. To be honest, he looked like he had some sort of walking impediment, or had been watching too much Monty Python.

Now please tell me, why, in holy hell would you dress up like this in a middle class Southern English town. Its not cool, you are not “fiddy”, we do not live in down town New York. People will point, and they will laugh at you. You stupid, stupid boy. It has to be one of the funniest things i think ive ever seen, but what was most funny was that he was actually serious. You could tell from the way he walked and the way he looked that he meant pimp business. Im assuming he couldn’t wait for the ‘hoes’ to drop at his feet.

Hilarious. Thank you America, for making these idiots for us normal people to mock. It makes my day it really does.

Hope you’re all having a nice weekend.

Over and out.
