tales from the blog-side
i went bowling yesterday, and thinking i was in for another drubbing, i wan't bothered by anything... it was funny, uzz has his own ball now and he carrie's it around in a nice yellow bag, so it was only fair that i beat him in one game, and was only 1 point behind him in another

i was out "on the sauce" last night, only had a few drinks and i felt ok ish this morning, my headache cleared after about 15 minutes sunlight, i hate the sunlight, the night was ok, i didn't bother with broadways, it was way too much hassle last night, still i had fun

i'm struggling with things to say at the moment, not like me is it?

i'm hungry, mum's going to be trying some jaime oliver thing out for dinner today, sounds interesting, salmon wrapped in prosciutto, but dunno what it's going to taste like, salmon always tastes very earthy to me...anyway we'll see

i've finally seen all of the latest installment of Lord of the Rings, i got the DVD 5 days before it came out, but i still didn't get round to watching any of it until tuesday, and then i only watched about an hour of it...oh well

have been at roger's a fair amount this week, playing on martin's gamecube, we've been playing burnout a lot, it was cool because roger had done all these levels but couldn't unlock the tow truck, i could :D, it was funny though and we played super smash bros. melee, that was ok, not brilliant though, preferred XG3, much more fun, fast bikes and guns, what more could a man want...?

...a good looking woman with loose values i guess

anyway...i'm going because i'm hungry and dinner will be ready soon...

so tired
i've been up since 5 again this morning, things would've been ok except that i was woken up late last night so that my mum could show me Mars, as in the planet not the bar... it was red, it was a dot, it was whole un impressive, but i guess at least i have seen it!
work was easy today though, i didn't have anyone phone in sick, or have to cover any other departments first thing this morning which meant that i could actually do my own work for once and i had a man phone me about my cv which took me ages to write yesterday, but that's a whole different story, he seemed pleased with what i sent him so hopefully i'll get an interview with them and then a job too... now that would be sweet!

anyway no other news really, i guess i should mention that i crashed the computer several times while i was trying to write my cv yesterday and i very annoyed and pissed off because the first time it was just winword that crashed and as such it didn't register the timesave document that was my first cv, so i wrote it again and as i was writing it the whole thing froze me out...stupid computer!

anyway take care peoples

Wednesday 27 August 2003

hmmm....
after blogging off yesterday i called some bloke about a job and he seemed quite keen on getting my CV and getting me for an interview, better still it seems that the job could be in Saudi Arabia and a 2 year contract, so that could be good

badminton...i beat roger yesterday, 3 games to 2, which takes the series to 5:4 in his favour, but i'm coming back, i'll win it in the long run

anyway, not much else to report
oh yeah i ruined another shirt at work today, surely they've got to get me some new ones now seeing as i don't have a shirt without hypo on it, but i also know that i won't get one any time soon...!

...it's not what you think it is...honest!
I ruined a shirt today at work... i got a big white-ish stain on the front and it's not what you think it is you sick puppies! i was in the plant room cleaning up a leak in the hypo tank, that's the chlorine stuff that we use as the secondary disinfectant, and hypo is a type of bleach, so when i leaned over into the tank the second time i got some on my shirt, even though i'd put a towel over the very little amount that i spilt when i did the first lift out, adn it's left a nice bleached mark on the front of my shirt. Being the Health & Safety person for the site obviously i should've been wearing PPE, that's personal protective equipment, but there is nothing on site that fits me well enough, something which i did not realise until today. Tomorrow i will be ordering PPE that will fit at least me, as i'm usually the only one that does anything of use in the plant room!

in other news...
Wils insisted on paying me £10 for my old phone even though she know's that i got both it and the upgrade free, she's a muppet, but at least i've got beer money!
Philly's new house is starting to look better after the painting and decorating session we had down there yesterday, there are still a few things that need doing, but nothing major, apart from moving in! she gave me sweets to satisfy my sweet tooth and to get me to work for her, and she's promised me some armageddon when she has her house warming party, and for those who don't know what it is, it's bloody good, some would say it's the most fun you can have on your own, but it's better to share!!!
i got in the pool this morning for an hour to teach, i don't normally teach little kids swimming, i only usually do the bigger ones because i don't have the patience for little kids, but it was fun to get in the water with them and teach there instead of from the side.
i'm worried about a mate called laura, she's bottling things up and i know from my own experience that's no good, but she knows that she can talk to me if she wants to.
no news on the job front, but i keep forgetting to look, i'm trying to write a CV at the moment as well, i say trying what i actually mean is that i'm looking at other peoples and seeing what works and what things i should put on mine, i say i'm looking, what i mean is that i've got some copies of peoples CV's getting dusty in my tray.

and finally i'm going to play badminton in a minute and this time i'm going to beat you mr roger

Sunday 24 August 2003

I had a really witty title, but I've forgotten it now!
tomorrow is bank holiday...love it! a day off that i get paid for...sweet! i'm helping a mate decorate though so i've got my day sort of planned

over the last couple of days at work things have been...ok i guess, i'm bored though, it's so hard to get myself motivated some days, today shouldn't be too bad because we're only open for 3 1/2 hours while i'm there, but i will have to be there another 3 1/2 until we close :( still there are things that i have to do in that time, it'll be easy enough, and if i get bored i can go and clean something, it usually helps me either clear my mind or work out the stress.

i'm thinking i might go on holiday in november, to celebrate my b'day and just to basically get away which will mean saving some money up to get everything sorted, question: how come it's cheaper to fly to San Francisco than it is to get to Miami, the latter of which is closer? it's bizarre, still i've got to sort out some sort of holiday, any suggestions anybody? maybe i could find out what bands are touring somewhere and follow them about for a week, that would be cool, might be a little too expensive though :( still i can dream, knowing me i'll probably end up not doing anything and just booking my birthday off from work and that's all.

still looking for a job, but seeing as it's sunday, i don't expect there to be much that's been updated since friday... oh well!

went to the pub on friday evening with roger, kate and cat, it was cool to see everyone. after the pub me and roger sat up until about half 2 playing dice games and drinking beer, it was cool...

anyway the grand prix is starting soon and i intend on watching some of it so i'm bailing out, so as always, take care peoples

jobs jobs jobs
i need a job, but at least i get paid tomorrow, and i've seen my pay check and it's looking very healthy, me thinks i might treat myself to a few drinks some time soon. i'm so tired of working, i need something that will motivate me and keep me interested in it and so far i've not found it yet, typical!
i guess i could try and get a job overseas, but i've no idea where to look
what do i know, i'll probably just not bother and wait until somethign gets gifted to me, lazy prat that i am

i'm in a negative mood today and with that in mind i guess i should stop fpr now and try and cheer myself up

back to work
today was bloody crap, i hate working where i do, it sucks! i hate the fact that nothign changes there, i hate the fact that simple things are left up to me, i hate the fact that obvious things are not done when they should be... and most of all i hate how everyone expects me to sort it all out for them, when it's not my responsibility. the sooner i find a new job the better!

i've got a headache too... it's amazing how when you're not feeling great and nothing seems to be going your way the whole day can drag into an eternity, example; today i only worked 4 and 3/4 hours, but after less than 2 hours i felt like i'd been there about 6 hours, i'm dreading tomorrow when i'm there for 8 and 3/4 hours, that will suck royally!

upgrading my phone, i'm getting a colour one...it's free so i'm not bothered what it is as long as it works

if anyone can find me a job that pays ok and is sort out what i'm doing now let me know, i'll go anywhere as long as the work is better than what i'm doing now...

grrr...stupid headache!

i've been playing some game on the latest MSN Messenger, i'm no good at it as roger will testify, but i think it's more about luck than anything!

anyway, better let you get back to what you do best...

random blog

some random things
1.) i am the king of the kitchen, i have decided that this is true and i challenge anyone to dispute me, try my cooking and let me know what you think

2.) what happens if i die? how will you guys all cope/survive/know/care? what about people who only i speak to, how would they know? what about the people that no-one knows i know, how would they know? i'm not going to worry about it, but it's just somethig for you to think about, because what happens if you die, how will everyone find out? personally i'm thinking that when i die i'll have it written into my will that someone has to take out a full page advert in several daily newspapers of my choice... at least that way most people will know

twisted thoughts

btw well done leigh, he scored 144 yesterday when bowling, but seeing as i was not there this is currently just an unsubstanciated claim, but kudos anyway

downloaded the latest version of msn messenger thingy earlier because i had a load of emails from .NET Messenger Services when i logged on, and now i've upgraded, i'm still getting the stupid emails, in fact 80% of the emails i've had since doing it were from .NET, you'd think that they'd get the message!

anyway, i've left the washing up for my dad to do, it's only fair, i cook he cleans

there's no point playing God when you are one!

i went to the cinema today, saw Pirates of the caribbean...all i can say is that it's a good film, with a good storyline and very silly phrases in it that i've not heard in a long time, and to top it off there are some buxom wenches in damp clothing, it was good, lost on my nephews, but i enjoyed it!

things have been a little quiet here, apart from the cinema and a sunday evening pub visit, where we played darts and vicky scared the hell out of us by actually playing well! i've not been up to much, it's back to work on wednesday and i don't really want to go back, but then no-one really wants to go back to work after a prolonged absence, i mean who in their right mind would want to!

anyway i've got to walk the dog, although i think my dad has just done it, which wouldn't surprise me, oh well!

Waiting At The Bus Stop Of Life

Today is going to be a good day, i can feel it, i've been up about 2, maybe 3 hours, 2 and a half if i'm honest!!! and so far i'm feeling good, i've got a few things to sort out about tonight and next week, but it's nothing that's going to ruin my day.

I've still not got rid of my cold, which is getting mildly irritating now, on the upside though i can't smell anything and taste very little, which isn't all good, but it's not bad either...

i've been looking at the template thing thinking of ways that i might be able to change it, but i know very little about the thing and therefore i'm not going to try too much yet, because i can't more than anything.

AOL is starting to annoy m, i keep getting IM's from people offering me to see their webcam site...you know te one's i'm on about!!! apparently it's not just me though, dave's getting them too

I've given up trying to sort out women, it's probably the best decision i've ever made (again), and i'm not going to go back on it (this time), no really i mean it (until the next woman comes alone).
Speaking of women, or partners in general, has anyone else noticed that they're like buses (careful what you say here), i don't mean that they are big and red, although i've met a few that are...i'm so glad that i no longer have anything to do with her. what i mean is that you wait ages for one and then three turn up at once, i'm sure i'm not the first to say that though. anyway i'm still in the waiting phase, hence the title. if anyone can point me in the right direction, or at least give me a timetable i'd appriciate it.

I've not played age of mythology for a while, might have a game later, it's been a while since i felt the godly power of running around sending minotaurs and gorgons to annihilate the sworn enemy and infidels that are messing up my utopia.

anyway, i've not got much planned at the moment so i'm thinking that i could go back to bed.

All blogged out
i didn't post yesterday because of the mammoth posting sessions i had thursday, and i didn't want to bore anyone, but i'm glad i got it out of my system. mum and dad came back yesterdayfrom their holiday too, i mean i'm not sure i can call it a holiday, who holiday's in Derby!!!??? apart from my folks and the bus load of people that they went with, must be an old folks thing.

i spent part of yesterday making sure that the house was clean, thursday night i crushed all the empty cans that were llaying around ready for the recyclables collection, i counted 35 beer cans and 10 soft drinks cans, and crushing them was oh so very rewarding!

played roger at badminton yesterday, he beat me 3:1, i won the first game, but then lost everything after that, he was winning in the last match too... he thinks that everything will be ok now because he's found something that he can consistantly beat me at... next time we go bowling, then we'll talk about consistancy!

looking forward to going to see Freddie Vs. Jason at some point, slasher fest movies are always funny when they've been done to death as it were! the funniest i've seen so far was Jason X, that's the one set in the future, when jason gets sent into space and killed then rebuilt using something like nano-technology, and surprise surprise he's bigger and badder than ever! Also i'm taking my nephews to see pirates of the caribbean at some point before i go back to work on wednesday. i stepped foot in the place last night because i needed my shoes to play badminton, it's still standing which is good

anyway lunch will be ready shortly and i'll be shouted at about being late because i'm still on the computer and i'll have to shut it downa and all that

i'm going insane and i don't care

so this is my third blog of the day and i feel like i'm going mad, not because of the blogs, but it's just the way i'm feeling (ain't feeder great?) i feel lost and really just crap. And to top it all off i'm confused about women again, but then again all men are confused about women, well all straight men anyway, gay men need not worry! what i really need to do is blow a shed load of money on dumb and stupid things like robotic fish or something equally as worthless, it would make me feel good for about 10 minutes though. i'm so glad i'm not at work this week, i think that would finish me off at the moment. i know everyone has days like these, but it doesn't make things any easier to swallow when you're having one yourself! i refuse to give up though and i'm refusing to let things get any worse than i feel like they are now, i refuse to let this beat me!

goddammit, i nearly convinced myself there!

anyway, things aren't that bad i guess, my life isn't falling apart (it feels like it's being held together by sticky back plastic though), i know where my next dinner will be coming from (the freezer), i have money (not much, but i've got some) and i have the love of my life around me all the time (that's music, not women, no woman in her right mind would want to put up with me), i just wish i could sort out the little things

rant over, i'm going to have a bath and rummage in the freezer for dinner, mini pizza's methinks

my plan to download loads of things whilst the folks are away failed, but i have been downloading stupid amounts of stuff

i forgot to mention that i played scrabble with the boys yesterday afternoon, dave, leigh and me, uzz and pix just a spectators. we were playing some dodgy rules, but it meant that i scored something like 230 or 240, which is surprising considering the things i've bodged on here!

anyway, it's early in the day at the moment and so far my plans for the day are:
-bowling at about 10;
-lunch...bugger i've not got anything out yet for lunch, oh well i guess i'll be going to the chippy;
-might make it to see McLusky at the zodiac tonight, but it depends on if i can get people to go with me.
what an action packed day i've got planned, eh?

i might even get round to doing some washing before the folks get back, that'll scare them!

anyway i've got to get ready for my VERY BUSY DAY

this blog is my recital
i think it's very vital
to rock (a rhyme) that's right (on time)
It's Tricky, tricky, trick here we go...

It's Tricky to rock a rhyme, to rock a rhyme that's right on time
It's Tricky...it's Tricky (Tricky) Tricky (Tricky)
It's Tricky to rock a rhyme, to rock a rhyme that's right on time
It's Tricky...Tr-tr-tr-tricky (Tricky) Trrrrrrrrrrricky
(thanks in part to these guys because i couldn't remember it all)

no i'm not drunk, yes i am hot

it's day three of my folks being away and i'm eating well, i'm drinking better, that's most in part to roger coming round on monday and starting a session that finished last night (today's wednesday) we drank something like 34 cans of lager which was good, althogh i slowed down yesterday

today i've been bowling with the boys, which was fun, i was bad, leigh was worse though so it's ok, admittedly i was only just better than him, well done to uzz though who was on for a 200 game, but eventually only got 179, but that was still miles better than the 98 i scored that game

anyway, i've got things to do and beer to drink so i'll leave you to it

HOLIDAY
thank GOD!

i now have 9 full days before i'm due at work again and about 5 days before my folks are home

and my intention was to log on and leave the computer on all the time so i could try and complete some downloads, and you know what the first thing it did after i'd signed on was? that's right CRASH!!!

stupid computer

anyway, I've bought in 24 cans of lager, 12 of beer and various mixers that'll go nicely with the spirits that i have in my own little stock pile of booze. I've also got in the Jackass movie for my entertainment. mum ensured that i'd have enough food for the week and basically all i've got to do aver the next few days is to amke sure that the dog is fed and happy and that i've got enough beer to last

WARNING:
no doubt if i'm going to be drinking over the next few days i'll somehow manage to stumble on here and blog something stupid and beery, that when i read back will make no sense at all, but who cares...not me I'm going to be drinking

it's so hot, if i could sit here naked, i would, actually there's nothing stopping me, but i'm still not going to do it!

i'm still thinking about going to santa pod,, but the more i think about it the more i think i'll look stupid...not as stupid as i would in a nissan mirca of course, but never-the-less stupid...i mean dragging a production line rover and a diesil at that, although it would be funny...hmmm...more though needed

anyway beer is calling me...

...And I'm Free To Blog What Ever I Want

no more work for something like 9 days...if only i ha a plan of things to do!!!

i had a dream last night...i dreamt of a cockroach chirping, and when i woke up it was still there, but it turned out to be some stupid bird that wouldn't shut up!

watched ghost ship last night, it's a good film, i recommend it, but remember i like really stupid films like "dude, where's my car?"
"dude you got a tattoo"
"sweet, so did you, what does mine say?"
"Dude, what does mine say?"
"Sweet, what does mine say?"
"Dude, what does mine say?"
"Sweet, what does mine say?"
"Dude, what does mine say?"
"Sweet, what does mine say?"
sorry, it's only funny if you've seen it and you're of the same mental capacity as me, ie, not much
"...and then?!"

lol...it's good to see that i can make myself smile

music wise i bought the (hed) PE album - blackout the other day and the atreyu album too, both are good for different reasons... thankfully i've still not got the busted albukm or darius' album, i don't think i could sanely face the store clerk person and say i want that darius album and busted too without wanting to give myself a kicking

anyway i think i'm otu of interesting things to say for now, but then i guess it's debatable that what i've said has been interestng anyway!!

well that was clever of me...

i kept getting an error message when i tried to post the previous blog, so i kept trying to post it again...when i came to view my blog i'd posted the same thing 3 times, and as you can see it's a fairly big blog... i feel stupid, if only i'd noticed that the button that i was happily clicking on actually said "republish blog"

anyway take care peoples

And All That Blog

So it's not as sunny today, typical, i get 3 days off and the sunn does the same, not that i mind, i'm not a sun person anyway... unfortunatey it feels as though it's just as hot though

when i was at work yesterday i saw a letter that my oss had posted out at the end of last week to the 2000 or so members that use the gym, only to notice 2 or 3 mistakes in the text... you'd think that in a letter going out to 2000 people someone would've proofed the letter before, or at least used a spell checker on it!!! and this is what i have to content with on a daily basis...

everywhere outside looks realy hazy...might pop out later to have a wonder, but that's about it... i hope we get the thunder storm that everyone's been banging on about, it'd clear the air

new tunes that i've been listening too... well not new exactly, but new to me
Avril Lavigne has a cover of Fuel, originally by Metallica, that's quite interesting, she doesn't massacre it beyond recognition which is thankful;
been back on the Greenday too, i felt this urge the other day to listen to dookie again, so i did, i downloaded a version by an a capella male voice choir, which starts with something like pachabel's canon, then switches to basket case, it's actually done really well;
continuing my thing with old classics, i've been listening to children of the revolution by T-Rex, it's used in the 3-mobile adverts and mum was on about it the other day, so i found it;
and finally i've developed a bit of a thing for Fuel, the band this time not the song, and i want hair like the singer blokey has in the daredevil music vid.

anyway, I'm hot, and i'm feeling a little warm too...boom boom! actually that reminds me of a school holiday and the things they used to shout at us to get a response, the one i'm thinking of was:
Leader: "How you feeling?"
Group: "I feel good"
Leader: "I said, HOW YOU FEELING?"
Group: "I FEEL GOOD"
Leader: "I SAID...HOW YOU FEELING?"
Group: "HOT, WET AND STICKY...WUFF! "
and with the "WUFF" there was an action...the action was a nice, big, forcefully pelvic thrust...obviously!

anyway with that little gem i'm going to have a shower and then go out somewhere, i'll probably end up buying something i shouldn't... and no i don't mean porn!

I'm too hot!!!

I've braved a pair of shorts...yes people it's that hot that you've got to be subjected to my knees!

Had a good day so far today, mainly because i only had a half day at work and now i've only got sunday to do this week then I've got 9 more days off...i intend to use them well, dunno how, but i will use them well.
I say that now, i'll probably end up doing nothing and moaning about it too!

was speaking to the bloke who's supposed to be tutoring me through my NVQ today and he told me that i'm easily qualified to do the job that i'm thinking of applying for, which was a boost, now all i've got to do is get around to actually filling in the application form...

went to roger's last night to watch a film, drink beer and play chess. we watched final fantasy, again for me, i would say the special effects are amazing, but considering the whole film is CG then if you didn't have the SFX you'd have pretty much nothing. we decided that the stiryline was cheesy, but good. the people in the film that do the voices, steve buchemi, donald sutherland, ming-na, to name a few play characters taht look nothing like them and it was really bizarre to see the guy that looked like Jean-Luc Picard actor patrick stewart, but was voiced by donald sutherland. and i was half expecting the guy steve buchemi voiced to turn around and complain about being called "mr. pink". the conclusion that we came to was that they created characters that looked similar to famous people and then used completely different people to voice them on purpose to confuse the likes of us and give people like me stuff to blog on about for ages without really saying anything!

i'm too hot, i'm going to tesco, primarily to get something for lunch, but also to bug mum about anything that i can think of between now and when i get there

and i'm going to change back into my jeans...i hate wearing shorts

just a quickie...

how unreal is harry potter, i mean magic and all that aside, that's fairly believable, but who in their right, teenage, hormone-fueled, male mind wouldn't use the cloak of invisibility to check out the girls in their changing rooms...

i mean from the age of about 12+ boys become obcessed with breasts, and all harry uses it for is snooping around the boring bits of school

not that i want to read about him getting his end away, but it's all about realism!!!

anyway i said it was only going to be short and i was right

Monday 4 August 2003

It's been a while, but i blog on...

I'm having real trouble motivating myself at the moment, work just seems to be getting me down, i've still not managed to rid myself of this nasty cold/illness so at the moment i'm getting "down wiith the sickness", which isn't helping

i was just talking to this chinese guy that confused me with someone he knows, it's funny, his english is marginally better than my chinese!!! anyway he crashed out, when he signed back in he didn't get my joke about there being a hidden software program that decides to cause problems right when you don't want it to, and i think there is a program like this on every computer, even yours!

i'm tired and i have a headache

i've been emailing this girl in florida recently, it's nice when i log on and there's an email from her and it makes it look like i've got friends... i'm not going to tell you how we started to chat because it'll sound bad... but she seems really nice and genuine which is refreshing

it's so hot

i'm not eating much at the moment, yesterday i had one slice of roast beef and a yorkshire pudding, but that was it for my sunday lunch, last night i ordered an indian take away and i didn't manage to eat a quarter of it, today i've had even less i'm just not in the mood to eat and it sucks because usually i eat a lot... i've not even had any sweets today!!! i must be ill

too many conversations... one with a bloke in essex about piercings, one with the lovely Kate and i'm still chatting to this chinese kid who keeps asking really dumb questions, but at least they are getting to practise their english

anyway I think i'm going to take a shower or something...anything to cool me down...
