early planning for birthday
ok, i know my birthday is over 2 months away, and what i've got in mind is infact nearer 3 months away, but i've remembered the 6p's:
prior
planning
prevents
piss
poor
performance
and with that in mind, i'm putting some feelers out as it were to see what people are interested in
ideas posted as comments would be ideal
first idea is mine
wwe raw and smackdown, televised events, from sheffield, back to back nights, monday and tuesday, end of november...tickets go on sale fairly soon, probably around the £40 mark per night, plus a hotel, spending money and drinking money...any takers?
other ideas include a few gigs that are on around then, including flogging molly, i think i heard that on the grapevine sometime ago...
anyway let me know what you think

forgot to mention
i've opened up the comments to everyone again with a code verification thing on it, it should mean that anyone can comment again, but it should also stop the spam comments...fingers crossed

robbed!!!
people of the world...you're being robbed!
ask we speak, the people who make m&m's are robbing us
they are robbing us with every peanut m&m they make
i'm disappointed to announce that in the 250g pack of peanut m&m's i am "slowly" eating my way through while "working my nuts off" today at work, i'm yet to find a whole peanut incased in the crispy shelled chocolate, every time i either bite into or let it all melt into my mouth, i only find half a nut
it's shocking
i'm thinking of writing to my MP
i'm thinking of starting a petition
i'm thinking it's just too much for one person to take on

anyway in other news
work is going ok
i've decided that i should move out of my flat this week, moving back into my parents house is the idea again at the moment, it's cheaper and it'll give me a chance to sort out a few things before i set about looking for a new place...cunning plan, we'll just have to see if it works...it'll be easier now as well because i will rarely be in my parents house with just my dad, which i think was part of the problem before...might see if i can have a second line put in so i can have my own internet access as well, that would be cool and it would save me from using the desktop computer, which is starting to work at the speed of a gereatric chicken
my wwe fantasy roster isn't doing too bad, although i've dropped about 2000 places this last week, but considering the amount of people i think are doing it, it's ok, i'm not going to win anything though :(
so in general, it's all good at the moment
take care peeps

balls
tennis balls
golf balls
footballs
basketballs
squash balls
korfballs
rugby balls
cricket balls
noticing a theme
yes
you've got it
it's all balls!
not sure why, i've had a few pretty good days, work has been pretty stress free, i finished my book, things have been really quite nice
but today
today it's all balls again
not even sure why, might be because i skipped breakfast i guess, might be because i didn't sleep very much last night
but at the moment it's all balls
beach balls
baseballs (is that right? it sounds odd, but then so does baseball balls...dodgy)
polo balls

anyway things are just feeling a little strange today, i'm tempted to take tomorrow off work, everyone else seems to be doing the same here and i'd love to be able to have a lay-in again, that'd be nice, and i could sort out a load of things, like the bank and post office stuff that i've been trying to deal with for a few weeks now...i could even get a hair cut
but then again i could do all these things on a saturday, it's just going to involve me heading into oxford to go to the bank...ho-hum

feel a bit sick now, the handy-man here at the farm is creosoting stuff again :(
and the sky looks like it's going to open at any minute

lol

oh well

i've got a big carton of ribena, some TUC biscuit things and some m&m's to cheer me up...the afternoon should be fairly good from there me thinks :)

laters peeps

Taranchilla
no i'm not talking about a hybrid/mutant cross between a tarantula and a chinchilla, that would just be strange!
i'm on about a track on an album that i got at the weekend (hold your colour by pendulem) it's DnB which is a change from the usual stuff i listen to and tarantula is a corking, stand-out track on it and i just can't get it out of my head (even if it does sound like they're saying taranchilla)
thought i'd better blog having not done it for a week
things are ok
work is dull and i've put the same quote out 5 times in the last week because there were errors, sometimes they were my errors, other times they were the fault of the salesman, which meant it was my fault too...this quote is worth like £600k and is over 150 pages long, so producing that 5 times has cost a tree or two somewhere...pain in the arse salesman
everything else is pretty ok, trying to look for a new place to live, but every place i'm interested in is either too expensive, too small or let before i've had a chance to even look at it...which is great...trying to move vaguely closer to work as well so i can save some money on the travel costs, but at the rate things are going i'l be back at my parents place before i know it :(
anyway i should get back to work
take care peeps

realisation
i realised soething today that's made me feel a bit better and smile
on august the 8th 2004 i cut myself with a steak knife, it was a bit deeper than i intended at the time and although i meant to cut myself and it relieved some tension at the time i ended up taking my ass off to the hospital to make sure thatit was ok and that it didn't need stitches or anything like that.
also on this day i promised myself that i wouldn't do it again
and it's been a little over a year now since i did it and i'm still alive and kicking, and better than that i've not cut myself once intentionally since that day.
this realisation means a lot to me.
it means that i've got things emotionally under more control than i had last year.
it means i've moved on to a better place than i was in last year.

there are so many people i want to thank for this that i'm not going to name anyone in case i miss someone out. but i want everyone to know that i owe them all so much and without them there is a chance that i wouldn't be here today, and it means a lot for me to be able to say that, i just hope you all realise how much you all mean to me, if i could thank you all personally i would, you have no idea how much i owe you

and that's all there is to it, i'm just sorry that some of the people i need to thank properly probably won't read this because i've lost touch with them over the year, and other people won't read this because they don't know about it or don't have access...which is a shame because i can be more honest on here than i can in person
take care peeps and know that i'm there if you need me like you've all been there for me over the last 12-18 months
thank you all

quantus vobis uxor?
it's latin
not an advert for an australian airline
bored at work waiting for a price so i started plugging random things into a latin translator online and this is one of my favourites, it means how much for you wife?

big thanks have got to go out to jenfer who braved the cinema with me last night to see devil's rejects, not sure if it was really her bag, but i enjoyed it so that's ok
was a very weird film
very trippy
it's a follow on from the first film (house of 1000 corpses) feeping the family the same
like i said i liked it
wasn't quite as weird as the first, but still very abstract
found myself laughing out loud at the bug splat of a death in one scene, jenfer will know which one i mean and if any of you see it you'll see what i mean too, it involves a mack truck and a person and in saying that i've peobably said too much
there were other people in the cinema laughing though so it was ok, i didn't feel like too much of a freak for laughing when i did
and there was a bit about tutti-frutti, that was funny too
not going to give the "story" away though

anyway thanks jenfer
big time

two quick reviews to think about...
no. #1
this song has been in my head for a couple of days, don't know why, don't read anything into it either, i think it's just a beautiful song, i'd except this to be a single sometime soon
James Blunt - Goodbye My Lover
Did I disappoint you or let you down?
Should I be feeling guilty or let the judges frown?
'Cause I saw the end before we'd begun,
Yes I saw you were blinded and I knew I had won.
So I took what's mine by eternal right.
Took your soul out into the night.
It may be over but it won't stop there,
I am here for you if you'd only care.
You touched my heart you touched my soul.
You changed my life and all my goals.
And love is blind and that I knew when,
My heart was blinded by you.
I've kissed your lips and held your head.
Shared your dreams and shared your bed.
I know you well, I know your smell.
I've been addicted to you.

Goodbye my lover.
Goodbye my friend.
You have been the one.
You have been the one for me.

I am a dreamer but when I wake,
You can't break my spirit - it's my dreams you take.
And as you move on, remember me,
Remember us and all we used to be
I've seen you cry, I've seen you smile.
I've watched you sleeping for a while.
I'd be the father of your child.
I'd spend a lifetime with you.
I know your fears and you know mine.
We've had our doubts but now we're fine,
And I love you, I swear that's true.
I cannot live without you.

Goodbye my lover.
Goodbye my friend.
You have been the one.
You have been the one for me.

And I still hold your hand in mine.
In mine when I'm asleep.
And I will bear my soul in time,
When I'm kneeling at your feet.

Goodbye my lover.
Goodbye my friend.
You have been the one.
You have been the one for me.

I'm so hollow, baby, I'm so hollow.I'm so, I'm so, I'm so hollow.

no.#2
charlie and the chocolate factory
went to see it at the weekend
you've got to go see it, it is absolutely amazing
johnny depp is awesome in it, he plays the part so well!
it's so very different from the original that it's a whole new film
tim burton works his magic with it, the colours, the pace of the film, the eerie look of some things, the way it's been set up, everything screams burton...
and the oompah loompahs...well they were just brilliant, but orange anymore and there's no green hair, but the stripes have been kept...
go and see it
go and see it
go and see it
that's an order!!!

take care peeps

i forgot to mention
the 7 legged spider in the bathroom has been christened Sven
he was back yesterday, and spiderman decided sven was a good a name as any
(sven + e = 7 and all that)

ok...i need to do this
not sure what "this" is though
i keep thinking of things that i have to do and then not doing them
there are things i need to say to people as well, but they seem irrelevent most of the time
i feel crappy
i want a break

work
it's going ok at the moment, sometimes i'm bored, other times i'm busy, the bored times are bad, the busy times fly by, it makes me feel as though there are more bored times though because they drag so much compared to the busy times...it sucks

money
it's too tight to mention

car
running well, happy with it

life
s'ok, nuff said

things i've done
went to visit V&A, not the museum, the people...cooked V some dinner, we had some wine and chatted for hours and hours, it was cracking, it was really good to catch up and chat and chill. she made me realise a few things, which is always good, i like it when people point things out to me, it's easier than working them out on my own...
played pool a lot and got drunk on friday, that was needed and fun, did the same late night too
finished Harry Potter, finally, didn't think it was the best, there are some really random bits in the storyline where she rambles about things which seem to have little or no relevance to the current plot. as for who dies...did they really die? or is it just a twist in the storyline for the next/final book? we shall see
saw a policeman about the car crash, he came o see me yesterday during my lunch hour, gave him my statement and everything. he actually had to read me my rights first, nearly laughed out loud at that one, very bizarre! but i understood why. he said if it was up to him there wouldn't be a case, it looks very much like an accident and that's that, but it's not up to him, someone else has got to decide...oh well
not really done anything else been too tired to do anything really, too tired and too miffed and fugged off with everything to feel like doing much...

forth coming plans
seeing luton lass at the weekend, ot sure if she's coming here or i'm going there yet though
sleep
ironing and washing, it's piling up and i want to get shot of it and have a bit of a tidy up, might do that tonight...

anyway, that's it, i'm going to have my lunch
