Today is dull, again…..
Its really grey out and quite boring looking…. Completely uninspiring.

I woke up this morning really tired. I have a moderately late night last night. Normally I try to get to be by 10.30-11… but last night I was talking to my friends on msn, and got a little carried away.
Today though…. I’m tired and a little spaced out. I’m not ready or prepared for it and I am not particularly enjoying it. Lets hope there is a silver lining.

Simon, you must have been bored last night... you cock, you woke me up like 4 times with comments you made on the Blog during the night. Twat. I'm fucking well tired now.
Think I'll call your house at 8 and wake you up early!

----------------------------------------------------

Yesterday was class. I had a well good day. Lisa came round and w hung out for a while. Makes a change as we never see each other and its nice to actually hang out with your friends rather than just chatting to them on email occationally.
Plus, added advantage is that they bring cd's wit them and you can copy them too.... Cheers for that Lisa!
After Lisa went, I poped round to see fish and we did something we havent done in years... we played footie. Its been so long and I can safly say, I'm shit! I can barly kick a ball these days. Its just bad.
Got to say though, the grub on offer at the George (Wanstead) is really letting me down. I forget its so bad until the stuff is served. I really hope I dont make that mistake again.

So Lads, you fancy a poker night this Friday? I'm up for it... bring the deck and chips and I'll provide the location. Plus, if its pridicted proper... hows about a nice bbq in the my great garden on Sunday!?
Let me know the usual way....
Hmmm.... 07.22 its so early, and I want to go back to sleep. Well, I cant, so its off to work in a min. Boo... Hope I dont miss the bus this time. You would think I'd learn!

So whats to become of the person I once was....
Its a question that begs to be asked.
I'm not at liberty to talk about why I'm asking it, but It does play on my mind.

Its been a glorious morning, the sun has been shining and its getting warmer everyday. I opened my doors this morning so I could get some fresh air and relax in the sun for a bit on the steps to the garden. But now, unsurprising its started raining... Hmm, have to move the Xbox and PS2. Typically, just when I'm planning to pop out for a bit, it starts to rain.... Not good.

My weekend started well... On Friday I went out to the George for a few with Si. It was esspecially good because I didnt drink to much and I'm starting to get used to this whole not drinking more than 3 pints thing. Last night I managed to do the same... Out for a few with Fish and managed to have a good night with out drinking to much again....
Yesterday was good, we went Golf and then on to the cinema. We saw The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy. A very good film that turns into a love yarn in the end. But great none the less.

Sunday morning has been and gone without event. Mostly I spent the time in bed, either sleeping or reading... Da Vinci's Code is gripping. A worthy read and oddly fitting...
Have you heard about the latest? Last night I heard that the pope died. RIP John Paul II.

So here we are, Sunday afternoon, the Bahrain F1 has finished with another great race by Alonso. Woo Hoo. I feel like certain parts of my life have changed... I went to play Golf with Marco yesterday, first time this year... It was great to get out and into the sun. So there we were talking about our friends and things of equal precedence... We sort of realized that although, children we may still feel like, there are aspects of this that just don’t interest us any more. Games, films and music are all changing for us. We are not interested no more in the lost art of being able to beat a fellow companion at the lost art of Ninja fighting... We no longer require quick action movies to keep us from being bored in the movie theater, no longer are the days were a happy chirpy ballad about a love that slips through our fingers... I mean to say that I am slightly more patient, more attuned and more me... defined characteristics are now what I see in my self, and a five o'clock shadow that is there at five and not just the next day.
I don't know what spurs me on, and what instigated this new culture shock.... But I’m trying to say.... I am me.
Here are some fitting lyrics for me at the moment:

“And I don’t know what you mean to me
But I want to turn you on, turn you up, figure you out, I want to take you on”

Good morning. How have you all been?

my last posting was a bit odd, granted. It was a quote from the film "layer Cake".
I've been busy as usual with work. Very busy. I'm trying to tconcentrate hard on getting everything done. It's good. I'm enjoying it.
Last weekend was amazing. On Friday I went to see Hitch at the movies with Fish. After we decided that it was too early to go home... so we went to O'niells. Always interesting. lol. Bit of a dive night as it always is there. I stayed over at his and the next day we decided to go swimming at the pool and track. Or rather we decided to go Diving. We got there and it weemed it was a little to busy, we soon found out why... there were district competitions on. So we had to find something else to do. Lakeside was sugested, and with it Go-Karting... Now I havnt been karting since i was marshall at Uni.... This was out doors and seemed interesting enough. And fuck me, it was class... We did 2 sessions, first with a single engine and then with a twin engine.... 45-50 mph around the track.
I think we are going to make it a regualr thing. Can't fecking wait!!!
Well, its nearly 8... and work starts on the dot.

So have a good day. Ohh, and Happy Birthday Karen.

Tempting fate.

I'm told by Simon that I always have something to say... But he is wondering why I haven?t said anything on the Blog for a while. I said I didn?t have anything to say. Which, we both know is a lie?
I do have things to say, but I don?t like tempting fate, but talking about how great things are and then suddenly, it all goes south. This always happens, I get excited about something and sure as shit, it evaporates.
Take my previous job.... I liked it when I started, but I took it for granted and it all went south quite quickly.... Also, Vicky... I got excited about her, and again, it turned into nothing.
So the reason I?m saying this now is simple, I don?t want to tempt fate by saying how great anything is going... but I will mention a few things... to keep you entertained.
Or at least, hope you?re entertained....

My weekend highlight was Saturday night. I was meeting Kim, Karen, Leanne and Kim's fell Craig was there.... but the real reason I went was to see Lisa. Last time we went out, I had a good time... so I thought, it might be fun again. So I did, we had a dance and a good laugh, or at least I did... Karen and Leanne were not too happy. But hey, I wasn?t really there to cheer them up or entertain them, so I concentrated on having a good night. Which I did.

Friday night was god to... Kim came round and stayed over. As usual we played the computer games we are hooked on... Myst. We are currently on Myst 3. Its good, but we don?t get many opportunities to play it. So we stayed up till late and had a good meal to. Obviously Kim cooked.... I don?t think she has yet to get over the meal I cooked for her last year. I didn?t think it was that bad. I liked it... or at least I remember liking it. loll

Sunday, I went round the old mans place... watched the gran prix and cheered on the other teams! - cough, not Ferrari. Dad made me a nice roast. Great stuff.
Monday, back to work and a change of scene. I don?t know how much I've mentioned on the site, but My company are based in Hemel Hempstead... which is a really nice place just past Watford. Don't worry, I don?t actually work from there. I have my own office based in Walthamstow. There I mostly work on my own, but try to have someone come down from the head office as often as I can... Mostly just to keep me company and make sure the work I'm doing is correct. Otherwise, I'm calling, texting and emailing the guys in Hemel. So, still in training.
Only down side of going to Hemel, is the traveling, I have to leave at 7 to get to the office for 9. A
trek and a half.... but a nice nap on the journey to. Id be lost with out the walkman.
At the moment I'm listening to a few albums. I recently got the debut album by Bloc Party. A great bad, with a good few songs to keep me going. Then I also downloaded Kasabian's album to. That?s great. Recommend it, if you like that sort of thing....
Other stuff I?ve got....

Athlete, Tourest....
Basement Jaxx, The singles...
Basement Jaxx, Kish Kash.....
Natalie Imbruglia, Counting down the days...(not yet out)
Stereophonics, Language, Sex, Violence, Other?....( I dont know if this has been released yet)
Feeder, Pushing the senses....
Doves, Some cities....
The Chemical brothers, Push the button.....

Also a few movies here and there.

well, im off again, Ill post soon.... when i have something to say.

"When ever you look you can see that everybody wants to be part of the rock scene..."

Right, I'm sitting here, in my new office... Looking out my widow over the houses of Walthamstow. There is dew in the air, strangely enough for this time of the morning. Its cold outside, and not much warmer in the office either for that mater. what you might know is that, Ive begun a new chapter in my life... What you might not know is that, Ive begun the new job. The one I was looking for.
I started last Tuesday, which was nice cause it gave me the opportunity to have a day off, a day of rest. I needed it I think. I took the time to rest, recharge and prepare for the new beginning.

There have been a few posts on the site by Simon, sometimes he will take the piss, sometimes he will say something that will shine and surprise me with his wit and intelligence. I'm gonna post his comments on the front page if its suitable, so he cant moan that i don't give him his chance. Happy Si?

So what else have I been up to, I'd ask you all to comment but I don't think anyone would. As for me, I've been concentrating on the job. Been watching allot of Smallville to. I really like the show, I've been watching the US episodes so i don't have to wait for the UK to catch up. Spoiler: can you believe it, Clark gets married! lol. Sorry, I had to!

So what else has been happening? Lets see, my family are well, I went round to see my dad the other day, Friday in fact. I left work early and walked to his place. On the way out to the pub for a drink, we got locked out. Crazy stuff. I had to go home and get the spare keys. Then afterwards, I went to Romford with Kim and Karen. Opium as per usual. It was good, Don't remember much. But I had a laugh. My Mum is cool to. She is moving into a new place soon, in fact thinking about it, I think she already has... I might call her, see if it went alright. Gerarda is still at Uni, doing her dissertation.
Not much else to say, obviously I hope your all having fun. Speak to you soon, I'm sure!

There is a beauty in simple things that even the most experienced man can be surprised.
Why I said that I'm not so sure. I've had an ok day thats had its ups and downs... I confronted my boss today, I wasn't having it... But it was good and I felt better for doing it. Cant sit back and take it all the time.
"Take me back to 1979, so I can find my open eyes"
So events take place and experience is aquired... I speak, obviously about meeting people, and even though, nothing special happens, its nice.. to meet a nice person. A sweet smile and a laugh goes a far way. This girl is nice, I say... Nothing in it, of course... but nice to flirt for a half an hour. Cool,I know I'll see you again.
So, what are you all up to tonight? off out to Opium... a haunt of mine, despite its debatable geographical point on a map.
I downloaded Athlete's Vehicles and Animals last night, and I gave it a listen today, this morning and this afternoon while I was out for an meeting at an agency. Its really good, totally recomended by me. So have a gander. I'm going to check out the lyrics in a min and you can read along as you listen. Apart from the singles, the title track is cool to. Here it is for you all:
It's the simple things like the robots stevie g draws
and the ease with which you seem to pull those tricks
there are moments of escape for every one of us
and the beauty in the times that we create
i saw you smiling
and i need my vehicles and animals
and i will be alright
and take me back to nineteen seventy nine so i can find my open eyes
he can play all by himself for many hours
i have never seen a kid who's so content
there is nothing from the outside that can touch him
cos he's just learning how to be alone with one
i saw you smiling
and i need my vehicles and animals
and i will be alright
take me back to nineteen seventy nine so i can find my open eyes
and i need my vehicles and animals
and i will be alright
take me back to nineteen seventy nine so i can find my open eyes

lying down on my bed
i just got another kick to the head
oh yeah you're a part of me
yet another branch on the family tree
salt on my fingers salt in my cuts
salt on my face and salt in my guts
it's been a battle but we've come through ok
stop what you're doing and play

cos we've got our vehicles and animals so
we're gonna be alright
there's no need for us to go back in time
because we've found our open eyes

we've got our vehicles and animals
so we're gonna be alright
there's no need for us to go back in time
because we've found our open eyes

Saturday afternoon. I feel a little crap, but only a little. I went out last night for Danny's birthday. We all had a really good night. I drank alot of wine. Why not though. It was fun.
I woke up this morning, and realized that Man Utd are playing Liverpool at 12. Or at least the program will start at 12. Man Utd won 1-0. Wayne Rooney scoring the winner.
Ive got another song for you all, Its called Chocolate. By Snow Patrol. Here are the lyrics:

This could be the very minute
I'm aware I'm alive
All these places feel like home

With a name I'd never chosen
I can make my first steps
As a child of 25

This is the straw, final straw in the
Roof of my mouth as I lie to you
Just because I'm sorry doesn't mean
I didn't enjoy it at the time

You're the only thing that I love
It scares me more every day
On my knees I think clearer

Goodness knows I saw it coming
Or at least I'll claim I did
But in truth I'm lost for words

What have I done it's too late for that
What have I become truth is nothing yet
A simple mistake starts the hardest time
I promise I'll do anything you ask...this time
