seems like everyone is doing a what was good and bad about 2006
i was thinking i might, but it was a shitty year for me, good things happened too, but predominantly it was shit so i'm not going to bring peeps down with all that stuff
here are some things that didn't happen in 2006 though, but would've been funif they had
-Px was found to be the long lost heir to the throne of a small south american country
-Px won the lottery and donated most of it (after sorting himself out first of course) to worthy causes such as sock repairs
-Px signed a recording contract with Simon Cowell after not only winning american idol even though he didn't actually enter it...he's that damned talented!
-Px became the first male entrant into the Miss World pagant, claiming it was a sexist competition and threatening to sue them if he was not allowed to enter, he lost though
-Px inspired world peace by offering to hunt out the people who weren't very nice to others
what a fun world it would've been if this had happened
anyway peeps, for those of you who don't know me, i don't do resolutions if i can help it because i never keep them anyway, however, i'm making one this year, and that's to put more effort into everything, from looking for a job, to cooking dinner, to relationships to keeping in touch with my friends, even though we hardly see each other.
beats giving up smoking again (remember peeps i don't smoke anyway)
hope that you all have a corking new years celebration, however youchoose to celebrate it. I'm working in the pub tonight, but it's going to be a good time...they're having a T party, so i've got to dress up as anything to do with T, the was proving too difficult, my mum suggested going topless or as a tramp, someone wanted me to go as tarzan, but i've decided that a sheet will do me, i'm going in a toga :) if i can be bothered to dress up that is...
see you next year :)

yesterday's TMI i forgot it...i'm a bad boy
1. What is your all-time favorite gift (whether given or received by you)?
i've given flowers to lots of people, they always go down well, one year i cut out the middle of a dictionary at the word love and gave my then girlfriend a necklace hidden in the hollow, she nearly hit me with it before she realised that there was only one word in that dictionary (love)...it took her a while.
best recieved...woja got me a battle tank one year, i've still got it, it's fucking awesome, but alas, he's the only other person that i know that's got one and so we don't get to battle very often :(
2. Where was the first place you ever passionately kissed?
the obvious answer here would be on the lips...but i think you're after more than that, like on the stairs when i was 13, had to be on the stairs, she was shorter than me by quite a bit, she's taller now, but i was still 6' back then...
3. Where was the first place you ever had sex?
it was on the floor in the living room at my folks house (they were both at work) and we'd put a film on in the background but neither of us were going to watch it
4. Have you ever had sex in your parent's home?
many times, mainly because i've lived there for ages
5. Have you ever met anyone in person that you met via your blog? Have you ever kissed anyone you met via your blog? Have you ever done more?
i've met a couple of people through my blog, fuckkit was the first, she invited me out for sunday lunch with some of her mates, that was cool
then i met lindsey (then though she was linny) we had a good time too, and a few beers, we kissed and cuddled at the end of the night (no tongues though) that's as far as we got though...
TMI done (late but done)

the day after
well yesterday was pretty cool, it was good to have the family around and it was really good not to have my dad around. i know that sounds weird, but every year he takes over, i swear he's always been a bigger kid than i ever was. and by take over i mean he's in charge, he dictates which present can be opened, and when. he doesn't cook, but he planned it all for when my mum should be doing things in the kitchen "shouldn't the turkey be in the oven by now?". if family were coming, he'd get anxious if they were running late, on several occasions i had to call my brother to find ot where he was and when he was getting here just to appease my dad.
anyway
presents this year were few, but that's cool, i'm old now and i don't expect to get anything anyway, i suspect that if i get round to having kids i'll be more into christmas again, but at the moment it's a bit of a wasted day on me... anyway i got money, a cd that i already own, series 5 of family guy on dvd (i've never really seen it before, but now i'm going to have to go out and hunt down the other 4 series...) when will jesus bring the pork chops by george carlin and make love* (*the bruce campbell way) by bruce campbell...and sweets. my mum has a tradition of giving me flumps (they're marshmallows) every year which was cool :)
the night before christmas
as you know i was working, i invited people over, people that i would've seen if i'd not been working, and some came, others had family things to do, so that was cool. and it started off quiet and i thought that it was going to be just another sunday...it wasn't, it was busier than it was on friday in there...some of my friends that i know through the pub left at 7 when it was still quiet and came back around 10 ish to find the place heaving with people. i got to sit with them for a while and have a pint, i think i'd earned it and the landlord didn't mind. we ended up serving until midnight (90 minutes longer than normal) and i think i left there about half past, but it was cool. i took home one of the barmaids and her mate because i'd offered to drive for them so they could both have a drink, i'm such a good boy! think i got home about 1.15, mum got me up at 8, but in fairness she did cook me breakfast in bed (she did it again this morning)
anyway i think that's all the christmas news
was thinking of hitting the sales today, i've been told it's quite quiet in oxford today so i might pop over there after lunch and spend some of that money :)
i hope you all got what you wanted for christmas, and spent a nice day with the people who love you.

Saturday 23 December 2006
so tired
i worked last night at the pub and although we finished at the normal time (well ish) i dropped off a couple of people (making it after midnight then) i went to make a surprise ish but long overdue visit to my mate Kat
bearing in mind that i thin i've only seen kat about 3 different times this year, she is still one of my closest friends and someone who i feel i can turn to whenever i need a cuddle, even though she tells me off for not turning to her and keeping her up to date with info about what's going on in my life (i'm sure i've told her about this place...)
anyway after a long catch up chat with her and her family i think it was about 3am when i got home and i still wasn't actually that tired, so i read for a while longer
anyway, t was good to chat to kat and her mum (who thinks i'd make great son-in-law material by the way) and i've bene told that i can go round any time to see them over the next week or so...probably won't but you never know
so that's why i'm tired
my plan for today was to sort out a few final final things for christmas (cards and wrapping of the remaining couple of presents) but my mother left this morning before i was up and she took the wrong keys with her to my nan's house...as in she took mine, complete with car keys which is where i've been hiding the presents and wrapping paper and what i was going to use to go and find appropriate cards for the 2 nephews
great
so that was the plan shot to pieces
so you know what i did
i watched tv
christmas tv is naff!
but today i watched star trek the motion picture (well bits of it anyway), twins (while i wasn't switching channels to watch bits of the next film), the muppets christmas carol (bit of it while watching twins on the other side), gremlins (again only bits of it though) and nightmare before christmas wihch i watched all of while eating dinner and doing sudoku too...
what a nice and relaxing afternoon :)
happy holidays peeps, i doubt many peeps will be around until at least wednesday next week...but i think i'll probably still be posting most days...you know me...
got to work tomorrow night, should be a good night, hoping to get a few drinks bought for me so i can use them at the staff party (if i go that is...still undecided)

friday stuff
ok
here we go with the last friday stuff before christmas
cool
ok so i've been aplying for jobs left, right and centre this week and i've heard back from two saying that they'll be in touch when they've shortisted, so that's cool
i've also been working at the pub a lot again this week, i've been there every night this week so far and i'm in again tonight...although monday i wasn't working
i finally got round to fitting my rims, they look sweet, but now i need to lower the car because even though they are 17's they still look small!
need to get an alternator, fit the cv joint and the headlamp as well now
my new ink is scabbing nicely and itching like crazy...this is a good sign
think i'm ready for xmas
it's going ot be hard, but i'm sure i'll cope as will my mum (i hope anyway)
songs for the weekend
there's one song that i really wanted to post this week
it's called wonderful world by james morrison and if i'd have listened to it a few weeks/months ago i'd have thought you know what, this is a good song for me and her...but i'm hearing it now and i'm thinking you know what, although this would be a good song for me and her, it's a better song for me and my friends...you guys...because without this blog and the kind words from my friends i wouldn't be in as good a place as i am at the moment. so thank you
this is the chorus:
And I know that it's a wonderful world
But I cant feel it right now,
I thought I was doing well but I just want to cry now,
Well I know that its a wonderful world from the sky down to the sea,
but I can only see when you're here, here with me.
anyway...it being party time i've picked a couple of other songs too:
Fisrt, a true party song Love Shack by B-52's
just an awesome song When the Night Feels My Song by Bedouin Soundclash
It was a return to the classic rock ballad christmas song Christmas Time (Don't Let The Bells End) (high bandwidth) by Darkness
now if i've got this right you should be able to click on the links and it should bring up the video for each track (it's using windows media player if that makes a difference)
hope you enjoy

christmas wishes
ok this weeks HNT is about picking 3 people and giving them something for christmas, a wish, a desire anything that you think they'd appreciate.
well i thought about this really hard and i thought i couldn't limit myself to just 3 people, i'd want to give everyone in my sidebar a little something
but when it actuallly came down to it, i struggled to think of things to give people and that made me sad
you're all considered as friends, some of you i have known for quite some time now and you have helped me through some difficult patches, especially this last couple of months
and still i can't think of anything to wish for you guys
so i'm going ot be selfish
i'm going to wish 3 things for myself that involve al of you guys, i hope that's ok with you...
#1 i wish that this time next year we'll all have this bond, only stronger and that there will be more of us to share in each others lives
#2 i wish for hope, hope that all of us are there for each other through the next 12 months come what may
#3 i wish for happiness for us all in anyway that we can find it, from getting a new pair of sneaks to finding that one true love, we all deserve happiness
bonus wish: i hope to meet you all, i'm not sure how or when, i'm pretty sure it'll involve me getting a ticket to travel to the USA and Canada (that should catch most of you) and from there winging it to see how many pepole i can visit and stuff like that...
it will happen because i've said it will

tuesday tmi is below
so it was the xmas quiz last night at the pub
and it was a laugh
but that's mainly due to me joining a different team
sax and violins took a week off because sax was at home eating her soup
so i joined a team called ken dodd's dad's dog's dead (nice name) and it was a real laugh
best bit though was winding up one of them about his distracted looks across the room at a very nice blonde girl, and she is a very nice girl.
of course being me, and this being the pub where i work, i went over and spoke to the team, actually i was getting some answers, but it's good to wind people up about these things. anyway i ended up sending a message to one of the team (because i had her number) and letting it slip that he was getting distracted by the blonde, my mate then sent back her number and told me that she was single.
but because we'd been ribbing him something chronic through the evening about it, he refused to do anything about it.
and i don't blame him, i'd be the same in his boat...
anyway we didn't win anything, but we did have a good laugh

TMI
1. Is it better to give or receive?
depends on what we're talking about...if it's oral, then i'm a fan of both
2. What is the most sensitive part on a man/woman's body?
this is a tough one because different people are sensative in different places, although i've always found that a woman's neck is always a good place to start, then her collar bones. the inner thigh is usually highly sensative, but you can't really get her going when there are people around that way (she'll get pissed off about it)
3. What is the most embarrassing thing that has ever happened to you during sex? (Queefed? Family walked in? Couldn't get it up?)
can't really think of anything too bad, my dad knocked on the door to say good night once, i've had house mates walk in before and i had her mum walk in once too, but in both of those instances we were just "warming up"
4. Do you like to talk dirty during sex? How dirty does it get? Example! ;)
alas i'm a quiet person during the deed, i rarely say anything, let alone anything dirty...sorry to disappoint
5. What do you really want for Christmas? Vibrator? Spanking?
i want for nothing this year apart from a chance to leave this year behind and move on with life (this is something that i can give myself, so i'm good)
Bonus (as in optional): How often do you masturbate?
maybe couple of times a week, not really something i count or keep track of

it's time to make that choice:
"Choose life. Choose a job. Choose a career. Choose a family. Choose a fucking big television, Choose washing machines, cars, compact disc players, and electrical tin openers. Choose good health, low cholesterol and dental insurance. Choose fixed- interest mortgage repayments. Choose a starter home. Choose your friends. Choose leisure wear and matching luggage. Choose a three piece suite on hire purchase in a range of fucking fabrics. Choose DIY and wondering who you are on a Sunday morning. Choose sitting on that couch watching mind-numbing sprit- crushing game shows, stuffing fucking junk food into your mouth. Choose rotting away at the end of it all, pishing you last in a miserable home, nothing more than an embarrassment to the selfish, fucked-up brats you have spawned to replace yourself. Choose your future. Choose life... But why would I want to do a thing like that? "
-renton, trainspotting
this was me a little while ago
tihs is me now:
"So why did I do it? I could offer a million answers, all false. The truth is that I'm a bad person, but that's going to change, I'm going to change. This is the last of this sort of thing. I'm cleaning up and I'm moving on, going straight and choosing life. I'm looking forward to it already. I'm going to be just like you: the job, the family, the fucking big television, the washing machine, the car, the compact disc and electrical tin opener, good health, low cholesterol, dental insurance, mortgage, starter home, leisurewear, luggage, three-piece suite, DIY, game shows, junk food, children, walks in the park, nine to five, good at golf, washing the car, choice of sweaters, family Christmas, indexed pension, tax exemption, clearing the gutters, getting by, looking ahead, to the day you die."

monday morning
its the first time in a couple of weeks that i've been able to post something on a monday morning...and that's all good
yesterday i didnt get the fug
although i did get a bad head from saturday night
nothing is happening this week, its great to be able to do nothing
although last night it kinda hit me that at the moment i've got nothing and no-one and i was a bit pissed at that
but i'm not going to let it get to me as it's too much hassle to think about that on top of everything else
ok i think i said something about posting about women and no mexico
ok one at a time
women
my ex (the lovely lady) is seeing someone new, and i'm not bothered by this, i'm bothered about her not telling me though and me being told by someone else who said "i guess youknow there's something going on between x and y?" to which i said i'd guessed that something was going on.
someone new and me had somehting going on (which is partly why i wasn't bothered about the ex) but that fell apart because she is convinced that i've been playing games with her and still want the ex...and no matter how much i told her otherwise it didn't make any difference to her, she was convinced.
so that's me looking again
no mexico
this is a bit difficult
there are loads of reasons why i should've gone (the woman even called me again today to see if i wanted the place or not, i thought i only had 7 days, she gave me a lot more) in fact me and jenfer sat and wrote a list of pros and cons and for the 4 cons we had something like 20 pros. but 2 of the cons were big
#1 when i come back my mother would've had to sell the house because my dad is forcing the issue and as a result any house that she'll buy won't be big enough for us both because he's claiming that he needs some £160k to buy himself a house because he can't lie with the woman that he's had the affair with (no idea why, still not talking to him)
#2 she's been really depressed and on the verge of suicide, i know she won't, but she keeps going on about it at the moment and i don't want to leave her on her own at the moment. as much as it's stressing me out at the moment with her being like this, i just can't leave her
part of me feels like i've been guilted into staying, part of me knows that this is the right thing to do for now, part of me was already buying the plane ticket and working out what else i was going to do while i was out there
i'm tired, i've not been sleeping very well recently
and it doesn't look like it's giving up at the moment
i think i'm going to hit the sack for a bit nowand see if i can sleep some more

yesterday i didnt get the fug
although i did get a bad head from saturday night
nothing is happening this week, its great to be able to do nothing
although last night it kinda hit me that at the moment i've got nothing and no-one and i was a bit pissed at that
but i'm not going to let it get to me as it's too much hassle to think about that on top of everything else
ok i think i said something about posting about women and no mexico
ok one at a time
women
my ex (the lovely lady) is seeing someone new, and i'm not bothered by this, i'm bothered about her not telling me though and me being told by someone else who said "i guess youknow there's something going on between x and y?" to which i said i'd guessed that something was going on.
someone new and me had somehting going on (which is partly why i wasn't bothered about the ex) but that fell apart because she is convinced that i've been playing games with her and still want the ex...and no matter how much i told her otherwise it didn't make any difference to her, she was convinced.
so that's me looking again
no mexico

friday stuff on saturday
does this mean that instead of being in a fug all day today i'll be in the fug tomorrw?
i hope not because today i'm feelin ALL GOOD!
right friday stuff:
how international is this? the other day at the cafe (now not called work because i no longer work there...more on that in a minute) 2 aussies came in, they worked for a company called europa and they ordered a full english breakfast...
i know it's not that interesting, but it made me smile. then i got to thinking, i know there's a full english, and a full irish (pretty much the same thing, only you get one in ireland...can you guess which?) ubt do you get a full french, or is that the same as a continental? what about a full australian? or a full spanish?
(i did debate putting down a full brazilian, but we all know you canget one of them, and it's ain't breakfast...although i'm sure you can have one for breakfast if she's willing to let you nibble)
ok the cafe situation
i worked nicely this week, only to be told yesterday that as of monday the woman that i replaced is coming back...and therefore putting me out of a job again
not that i'm bothered beause i wasn't that keen on it anyway
i didn't have a contract and i wasn't actually getting that much in the way of cash
the one thing that i did take away with me it a bad back
and shoulder
and feet
and the knowledge that if i called the EHO then they'd laugh at the "risk" assessments that there.
from working in leisure and writing the risk assessments for leisure centres, i know that there's a lot of things that can go wrong. one of the biggest risk assessments that in undertaken is the fire risk assessment, it's so big that there are people out there that have set up companies that solely do this for people. anyway i digress, the last fire risk assessment i wrote had it's own file on the shelf and was all in all some 50 pages long, covering everything from sources of ignition and fuel to the exit routes and the departmental duties. the fire risk assessment for the cafe was 3 pages long, including a map of the exit routes...
so glad i'm not there anymore...just now i need to find another job :(
got an interview on wednesday with soll again, but this time in a wet centre...that's one with a swimming pool...
should be better than the last, although i thikn i know the 2 people who are interviewing me (one is the woman from last time)
also got a "job chat" with the bloke who runs a recruitment agency just so he can put a name to a face
still haven't got our tree out, it's still in the loft
ok...comments from my HNT (i'm answering in this post because i didn't answer them in the comments bit of the last post...anyway i'm babbling)
ash:
you know i was going to one day anyway :)
yasamin:
bleeding eyes, that's not good...
lindsey:
christmas this year will have been and gone before i get into the spirit i think (although getting into the spirits might help me get in the spirit)
steve:
like i said, mine's stilll in the box...i've no idea if we've even got any decorations
teri:
sorry for shocking you...
that is a pierced scrotum
...my pierced scrotum
Fu:
sorry dude, but i did give a little warning, although in retrospect it probably wasn't enough
natalia:
it's all good, it's all fun too and it certainly doesn't get in the way :)
anonymous (autumn?)
;o)
jenfer:
gah nothing... :oP
as with fridays i'm offering a song again (even though it's saturday)
i know you're going to love this one
it's amazing
it's been in my head for a while
but it's all good...seriously
this week i give you:
you can call me al by paul simon
no idea why other than it makes me smile and cheers me up and it's a funky tune
laters peeps
i'll fill you in on the reasons for no mexico and no women soon too

one post away from 400
yeah, you know it, this is post number 399
i am a blogging legend! (in my own lunchtime)
anyway iwas going to say tha ti've decided not to go to mexico and go into all the reason behind me not going
but at the moment i still really want to go
although today was the day that i needed to make my decision by and i haven't made it yet, so it looks like i'm not going by default
bugger
on a different note, today at the cafe (i refuse to call it work, because it's crap) some bloke (called william, a regular, comes in twice a day, has the same thing all the time) came up to the counter and told me that when he first looked down at the newspaper (daily mail) he thought that they were giving away dvd's about pinochet (you know, the bloke that snuffed it the other day [ and yes i do know there's a little more to it than that, like him being a dictator and aligning himself with the UK during the falklands war and being a generally nasty bloke to his own people]) anyway he was chuckling to himself about it because what the paper actually said was free Pinocchio DVD...yeah, small wooden boy who wanted to be real, south american dictator, interesting mix-up
i had to laugh at him...not with him because he is a weirdo, no two ways about it, he's just a bit strange...
weird story for the day over

TMI Tuesday
feeling really drained so i'm only posting this for now, maybe you'll get some more later or more likely tomorrow
sorry peeps
1. What is the sexiest part of your (or a) lover's body?
on me? no idea you'd have to ask someone thinks i have sexy parts (feel free to leave a comment on with you may think is my sexiest part)
on a lover? the bit from her belly button down to her inner thighs, definately (although if we're being clean i'd have to say smiling eyes are really sexy)
2. What is the un-sexiest part?
my hairy arse! (no it's not going to make a guest showing on HNT)
on a lover...hairy bits...ie legs and arm pits (not the other bits, i have no real preference there) and outtie belly buttons
3. What makes you feel sexiest … item of clothing, food, music, film, timbre of someone’s voice/accent/dialect, alcoholic beverage, etc.?
all sorts of things make me feel sexy, i don't think there's any one thing that is sexier than the rest, i mean from the way someone dresses to how they talk to me and what they do with their hands (by that i mean holding mine and the like)
4. What is you least favorite sexual position?
the boring ones are my least favourite (although i know many ways to spice them up) to be honest it's not the position, it's usually the person i'm with, if she's the kind to lay there (in what ever position) and let me do all the work, then it's no fun
5. What do you wish your (or a) partner would do to you?
such a loaded question (and i know that's intentional) to be honest if they don't want to do somehting, then i'm as cool with that as if they do want to do something. but there are always things that you talk about to see if they want to do it, always talk about it first (that's my advice anyway
Bonus (as in optional): What is the kinkiest thing you have ever done?
depends on your idea of what kinky is
i've done all sorts of things like having sex in the middle of a field in good friday (very public) in the middle of the day
to having sex in her parents bed while they were away
to having sexy with siblings (not my siblings...you sick puppies)
to being tied up/handcuffed/blindfolded
to spanking someone
to taking pictures
so its really on your definition of kinky, to me none of the above were particularly kinky apart from the spanking...
right games over for the day

again with the saturday shit
why is it that this saturday, just like last saturday, i feel like shit?
i feel lost and alone
i went shopping with my mum earlier and the intention was to get some new shoes/trainers for me so that my feet don't ache so much with this new job of mine (yeah the cafe thing that i don't really like)
we went into the first shop and i didn't see anything that i liked, we go into the next one and it's the same story. i know that there's a rule in shopping that you've got to look at everything in the store, then move on to the next store and do the same thing, and repeat it in every store you go into. well i'm not like that, i have a cursory glance around the merch and if there's nothing that grabs my eye straight away, then there's nothing there that i want. this continues in every store we go in this morning (there are only 2 shoe stores in didcot) we went into a pile of other shops for her to look and see if there was anything she could buy someone or if there was anything in these shops that i wanted...there wasn't. and it didn't matter how many shops we went into, there still wasn't any thing that i wanted.
i had a serious fug on this morning
if lifted briefly at lunch time when i got a call to say my new rims had arrived for my car, went down to get them, washed the car and went to fit them, only to find that they'd supplied the wrong nuts for the car...easily remedied by a quick trip back to the store and them giving me the right nuts for the wheel and giving me £20 back because they'd over charged me
got home and didn't fit the wheels anyway, wasn't in the mood then
the fug returned
and i've not been able to shake it all day
it's got something to do with the previous post
and i wish i could elaborate, but i can't because i have no idea what to do
anyway it's saturday night, i've spent the evening in my own company (probably best) watching some wrestling that i wasn't really paying attention to and generally feeling crappy i also posted a new bit of writing over on the storyboards site if you want to go and see
tomorrow is sunday and i know that i've got to go xmas shopping, but you know what, i can't be bothered with it, like i said last week xmas this year will be no fun at all.
i've lost my spirit

friday stuff and a tag from natalia
ok friday stuff first:
mexico stuff
i've been offered a place if i want it, got 5 days left to decide. i'd be going in february for 6 weeks not the 15 that i originally applied for, but that's ok... discussed the issue with mum finally, was waiting to see if i'd be accepted before approaching her with it. and she said it was a good idea, but bad timing, and that because my dad is forcing the sale of the house so that he can continue to be a wanker, it's likely that if iwent then i wouldn't have a home to come back to because it would've been sold and all my mum would be able to afford is probably only going to be big enough for just her (that's if she can afford anywhere anyway). so i'm stuck thinking about it again :(
job stuff

mexico stuff
i've been offered a place if i want it, got 5 days left to decide. i'd be going in february for 6 weeks not the 15 that i originally applied for, but that's ok... discussed the issue with mum finally, was waiting to see if i'd be accepted before approaching her with it. and she said it was a good idea, but bad timing, and that because my dad is forcing the sale of the house so that he can continue to be a wanker, it's likely that if iwent then i wouldn't have a home to come back to because it would've been sold and all my mum would be able to afford is probably only going to be big enough for just her (that's if she can afford anywhere anyway). so i'm stuck thinking about it again :(
job stuff

i look rough
i took it the other day

anyway
this is my naked chin
Tuesday 5 December 2006
and the search goes on...
ok so today's tuesday and that means that i've got a TMI coming...should be below in a bit i promise. but also because today's tuesday i had 3 (count them one, two, three) interviews today
interview #1
soll leisure
duty manager position
£15000 pa
i have worked for soll before and although i didn't feel as though they were utilising me to my full potential and left leisure as a result, i actually enjoyed working there. although i was on more money then than they are offering me now...what's that about?
the actual interview went pretty well and i was fairly happy with it. i'll find out tomorrow as to if they want to offer it to me or not. one of the people interviewing me said that i was very brave to come back into a company that i'd left 18 months beforehand as they know all about me, and so the interview was more about seeing how i'd developed since then. i thought she was a little insulting with that
interview #2
helphire (or is it hirehelp)
driver
£5.50 p/h
i got offered this job on the spot, said i'd think about it because i had a few other things in the works for this week, but if i am going to take it i can start on monday. this job basically means i'll be driving cars from the office to customers through the local area (about 4 or 5 counties) nice and easy work, the sort of thing i could do with one had tied behind my back, the sort of thing that you can switch off and think of other things instead...
we shall see
interview #3
bourton mill
club manager
£15000 pa plus bonuses
wasn't overly impressed by this position, the club was very small and uninteresting, the money is poor considering the location (centre of oxford, and i really do mean the centre of oxford, it's just above the big TSB on the corner...for those of you who know the place) the club istelf is over 3 floors and smelt of sweaty people (understandable i guess) the guy who did my interview and who would be my manager was late for my interview (i guess that's his perogative) and in general i didn't like the interview and i wasn't really that comfortable there, it's not what i want to do or where i'd like to work.
the following is an email regarding an interview i went to about 3 weeks ago now, i got this email today (but ian has been away sick, so that's ok i guess)
this was the job that i went to, had the sit down chat with them and then had to do 2 exam type things as well...the one that i had a good feeling about because they'd been positive about the results form the tests.
Hi Pete
I have just had an email from Travelodge.
Mate, its not good news I'm afraid. Like I said to you over the phone they were very impressed with your test results, being the best they had seen. Unfortunately, in a way that has hindered you. Their feedback was that they were concerned that you were too good for the role and would therefore not stay in the role. They also interviewed an internal candidate and decided it was a safer bet to go with them.
Really sorry mate.
I will keep looking for other roles for you.
All the best
Ian
how can you be too good for a job? i understand that you can be over qualified and that, but if it's something you'd like to try surely it doesn't matter if you're too good?
anyway i was a little miffed by this email, as this was the one that i had got the best feeling about.
no news about the volunteer stuff yet, but that's ok i'm not expecting to hear anything this week.
right i guess 'd better go and have a look at wha tthe TMI questions are for this week

TMI time
1. Ever had your toes sucked on?
nope, can't honestly say it's ever really appealed to me either, but then my toes are weird and hairy and stuff like that. i've sucked on toes before, but we were in teh bath at the time (so i knew they were clean)
2. Ever had a hickey... sexy or trashy? Why?
yeah i think i've had one, it's not easy to give me one though for some reason, people have tried and failed...i used to give an ex them all the time in weird places...just to wind her up, i thikn the best was in the middle of her back, it was really easy to give her them
3. Ever stolen from a store? If so, what?
yeah but it was by accident, we had some heavy stuff in the trolley and i said to the checkout chick would it be ok if we just scanned them in the trolley forgetting that i'd got stuff underneath them...nothing vaulable, thikn it was a tin of paint or something like that
4. Ever got a speeding ticket? If so, how many?
never got a ticket, or a fine or anything like that, although i've been pulled over for speeding, but the officer didn't do any thing about it at the time (think it was because there were 2 of us he pulled over, he was on his own and although he said he had video, i don't think he did.)
5. Ever faked an orgasm?
can men fake orgasms? i've never tried to be honest, if i'm at that point where i've had enough i just stop, that's all
Bonus (as in optional): What's the trick to being multiorgasmic?
again, is it possible as a man? i've given them before and i have no idea what i did to do that (is it to do with what you've got or what you're doing with it or how long you last?)
anyway that's my TMI tuesday done

i should be making a curry right now
but i'm not
i'm feeling very lazy and i've not even started to prep it yet!!!
i'm going to be omaned at when my mother comes home :(
but that's besides the point...it's quiz night at my "local" (i say it like that because it's a good 5+ minutes drive form my home to the pub and i drive quick). but unlike last week when i was a happy member of my own little team(sax and violins) this week i'm either going to be totally on my own or ive got to join another team...might do that, with the mad knowledge skills that were displayed last week by my team (which consisted of just jenfer and i) i think that i'll probably join another team this week and see what happens there...
nothing's been said about me going to mexico yet, but then no-one really knows as yet, i'm waiting until i've got some more info about it and if i'm actually going before i even think about talking to my mum about it.
but i had a good end to the weekend yesterday, and work today wasn't too bad. and i've got 4 interviews this week, and that number might go up even further, we'll see...three of them are tomorrow!
right that's my monday mundane stuff out of the way, just remember tomorrow is TMI tuesday (be warned that you might find out something that you really didn't need to know about me if you're unlucky)
took a pic the other day and emailed it to linny, might use it as my HNT this week, not sure yet though might take a different one...different but the same
anyway i'd better head off and start the curry, take care

doing something positive
ok after yesterdays downer post i'm being positive today
linny dearest, you were right i do need a break, but i'm not really a holiday person, so i've taken a leaf out of your book a little, but doing something that's hopefully going to benefit someone else. i gues sit's also taking a leaf out of jenfer's book too.
last night i got in touch with sideshow spiderboy, someone i used to work with when i was back estimating for that german lab company. anyway long story short, he buggered off to do some volunteer work in mexico for GVI counting fish and the like, well he emailed me back this morning with all the details about the group and things like that, so i signed up this morning with a view to go out and be a volunteer and do something positive that will also get me away from here and all the issues that are going on, and yeah it's probably going to cost over £4000 to get everything sorted, but it'll be worth it, even if it only puts my life into perspective and makes the issues i've got seem insignificant, it will be worth it.
what do you think?

bad couple of days
ok peeps, lets break this down for me and you
i've had a really bad couple of days recently (hell the whole month wouldn't be something worth writing home about if i didn't already live there again!)
anyway, the last couple of days i've bene getting down and shit and it's not cool
some people near me have suggested that i get away
and now i'm seriously considering not only getting away for a while, but getting away for good. i know ive mentioned in the past that i need a holiday, but this time i think i need more than that, this time i think i just need to run
a tour of asia has been suggested, so has australia, i'd love to go back to the states
my only worry is that all this would be me just running away from things that i just don't want to deal with
honestly
i'm struggling at the moment
things between my mum and dad have got me wound up
i can't stop tihnking about someone
and at the same time i can't stpo thinking about my ex and what she's doing and who with
i need to get a job sorted out
i want somewhere that's my own space, living with my mum has its benefits, but at the same time it's not my own space
i feel let down by people who i thought would be there for me, and at the same time i feel like i'm letting them down by not being strong enough to deal with everything that's facing me
sorry, welling up at the moment so if there are any spelling mistakes it's because i can't see the keyboard properly
and it's christmas
part of me that's still a kid, loves christmas, but this year it's going to be shit
no two ways around it, it's going to be shit
i mean, i'm single, living with my mum (who's single too) it'll be our first year without dad around, if he'd died it would be easier but he's still there and being a wanker about things so that'll make for a fun time
and to top it all off, there's nothing i want, nothing at all
well nothing that anyone will feasibly get for me
sorry i'm just really pissed off and depressed at the moment

i mean, i'm single, living with my mum (who's single too) it'll be our first year without dad around, if he'd died it would be easier but he's still there and being a wanker about things so that'll make for a fun time
and to top it all off, there's nothing i want, nothing at all
well nothing that anyone will feasibly get for me
sorry i'm just really pissed off and depressed at the moment

Friday 1 December 2006
just a quickie for friday
got a song for you a little further down
woja, dude you're meme answers have been "marked" for someone who's known me for so long you didn't do too badly...to date he's the only person to have had a go though, therefore he's topping the leader board
jobs:
interview yesterday was very positive, although he's still got 2 more people to interview before he shortlists people to see his manager. although saying that he's not seen my cv and was making his decision solely based on my interview, so that should be a good thing, right? i asked about the parking situation because it's in the centre of oxford and the only parking around there is pay and display sort of thing and i was told that the club has 2 parking spaces, one reserved for the manager (him) and one reserved for the deputy manager (the role i went for) so i could have my very own private parking space in the centre of oxford...how cool would that be?
got 2 interviews on tuesday, one in the morning with SOLL (people i used to work for 18 months ago) and the other in the afternoon for a private gym in the centre of oxford, completely private and not part of a chain too...
we shall see
i've also had someone give me a shout about a driving job, basically i'd drive a nice car to someones house/work/whatever and then either be picked up from there or have a pre-arranged car there to drive back...easy work, although it could be rather boring...we shall see
but it would mean i get to drive some rather nice cars and on occasion come home with one, going to pop in there on tuesday too
song for the weekend:
overkill (acoustic version) by colin hay:
I can't get to sleep
I think about the implications
Of diving in too deep
And possibly the complications
Especially at night
I worry over situations
I know I'll be alright
Perhaps it's just imagination
Day after day it reappears
Night after night my heartbeat shows the fear
Ghosts appear and fade away
Alone between the sheets
Only brings exasperation
It's time to walk the streets
Smell the desperation
At least there's pretty lights
And though there's little variation
It nullifies the night from overkill
Day after day it reappears
Night after night my heartbeat shows the fear
Ghosts appear and fade away
Come back another day
I can't get to sleep
I think about the implications
Of diving in too deep
And possibly the complications
Especially at nightI
worry over situations
I know I'll be alright
It's just overkill
Day after day it reappears
Night after night my heartbeat shows the fear
Ghosts appear and fade away
Ghosts appear and fade away
Ghosts appear and fade away
i first came across this song in the series scrubs (s2 ep1 i got it from wikipedia) and i've been watching that a lot recently (it's one of the few dvd's that i didn't leave behind when i moved out) and i actually sat and listened to the lyrics the otherday and thought they were apt at the moment as i'm having trouble sleeping and things are getting to me a little
but i'll be ok (just like it says in the song)
right peeps, have a good weekend
take care

news type stuff
warning there are 3 posts for the day
please read them all if you want but fair warning is given that post 2 is TMI tuesday!
news type stuff
last night went to the quiz for the first time since before me and my ex lovely lady split up. i created a new team with my mate jenfer...we were called sax and violins (an obvious pun there, but it was all good and people enjoyed it) and we stuffed the ex's team by coming 2nd for the whole thing by 1/2 a point
although we didn't win an individual round or anything else for that matter :(
the new work is a bit naff, but i've got an interview on thursday evening, which is promising, and one next tuesday, so i'm keeping my options open!
work is a bot naff because i only get 15 minutes break during an 8 hour shift (which i think is illegal, must check that before i go in tomorrow), i don't know how much i'm being paid, or what my job title is. and i'm on my feet all day (not a good thing considering one of my feet was buggered up years ago and now has metal in it...same one i broke about 2 years back now)
social life is a bit quiet again at the moment, someone new is on tour with a panto, which is a shame, but it's her first show tonight, so she's in my thoughts, although i'm sure it'll be awesome and things will go very well
not sure if i'm going to see her until the 21st of december...she's that busy at the moment. but it's good although i do miss chatting to her.
i googled shadowfish the other day (this is for those who haven't read the comments from sunday) and this blog site is number 5 in the list out of 521 (i think...it was yesterday after all)
think that's about it
post #2 is my TMI for this week
post #3 is a dodgy meme thing which you're all welcome to have a go at if you want...if you don't know the answers have a guess...its a chance to make fun of me :)

TMI time again
ok here goes...this weeks TMI is a little more racy than last week...
1. My biggest sexual turn on is __________?
i have so many, i like things to be spontaneous though and knowing that i'm getting to see or do something that i know others want to see or do is always a plus too
physically though my biggest turn on would have to be a combination of eyes, bobs, ass and belly button (if it's an outtie there's no chance)
2. On a scale of 1-10, how jealous do you get (have you gotten)?
i'm a very jealous person at times and so i'd probably say it's a high one (higher being more jealous)
3. Have you ever had sex with someone you work(ed) with? Any negative consequences?
yes, we were in a relationship at the time and still work together now. i think there's only about 3 people in total that i've worked with and slept with, most (if not all) were while i was in a relationship with that person... there are always negative consequences when the relationship goes wrong, but i was only still working with one of them when we split up (we still work together now and things are ok)
4. Wash up, cuddle or fall asleep?
depends on the time of day...if it's an afternoon session then i've been known to get the hoover out and tidy things up (guilt possibly?) evening sessions usually resolve in rolling over and sleeping after a nice long cuddle
5. Which is more important of the two in "chemisty," physical attractiveness or sexual performance?
attractiveness because if they don't look nice then i'll rarely know if they're any good in the sack
Bonus (as in optional): What kind of birth control do you use?
i have issues with using BC...not religious ones either...issues relating to condoms and the popping of them (or the struggle to get them on to start with)
tmi done
be you wish you'd stopped at the title now don't you ;)

song for the weekend
triple posting now...i really should think about things before i push the publish button!!!
ok so i've not done a song for the weekend and it's probably about time
so this week i've decided to go with this:
LINKIN PARK
"Numb"
I'm tired of being what you want me to be
Feeling so faithless lost under the surface
Don't know what you're expecting of me
Put under the pressure of walking in your shoes
(Caught in the undertow just caught in the undertow)
Every step that I take is another mistake to you
(Caught in the undertow just caught in the undertow)
[Chorus]
I've become so numb I can't feel you there
Become so tired so much more aware
I'm becoming this all I want to do
Is be more like me and be less like you
Can't you see that you're smothering me
Holding too tightly afraid to lose control
Cause everything that you thought I would be
Has fallen apart right in front of you
(Caught in the undertow just caught in the undertow)
Every step that I take is another mistake to you
(Caught in the undertow just caught in the undertow)
And every second I waste is more than I can take
[Chorus]
I've become so numb I can't feel you there
Become so tired so much more aware
I'm becoming this all I want to do
Is be more like me and be less like you
And I knowI may end up failing too
But I knowYou were just like me with someone disappointed in you
[Chorus]
I've become so numb I can't feel you there
Become so tired so much more aware
I'm becoming this all I want to do
Is be more like me and be less like you
[Chorus]
I've become so numb I can't feel you there
I'm tired of being what you want me to be
I've become so numb I can't feel you there
I'm tired of being what you want me to be
i think it's a pretty good way of describing how i've been feeling recently, although for some reason i've been listening to a different version, not the linkin park version, but one by a british female R&B artist called jamelia...seriously people it doesn't matter if you like LP or not, listen to this version and you'll be amazed
its very emotive, much more than the original (i've got it on an album called the live lounge from radio 1 here in the uk...it's worth finding if you can)

friday news
ok so after the double posting on tuesday i forgot to post and say that i'd got a call from the job in somerset, they said that although i impressed them with my answers nad said all the right things, i didn't get the job because one of hte other two candidates had got a shed load more experience. i knew this would be the outcome, but still i kinda hoped that i might get offered it so i could be tempted to turn it down.
the thame job still seems promising, although they've not made their minds up yet. i got told that in the two written tests that i did i came out with the highest scores they'd had. so that's a positive and about 50% of decision
other news, i've got another interview/chat today which a friend has set up for me, she said where she works they're looking for a new manager, so she got me some more details and hooked me up with a chat/interview. that's all good
this week i've kinda not been that bothered with filling in stuff like applicatoins, been feeling really lazy in that respect, kinda guess it's hitting me that things could be a while before i get something decent
in saying that i've been doing a little temp work as well this week, yesterday i started at 5.30, although i didn't actually do anything until nearly 9am...being a drivers mate has some perks, even though the money sucks the big one.
worked in the pub last night, it was dead, i know why too, it's the end f the month, people haven't been paid yet and xmas is just round the corner, so people are saving and stuff like that. but still i was so damned bored! and to make it worse i was so tired from getting up before 5 am!
i missed HNT yesterday, i'll sort something out though (for next week maybe)
i've uploaded all my wrestling pics (as woja will attest to) some are cool, others are not so good. i won't bore you with them though
just realised that none of this isreally news is it...oh well, sorry
just finished my second book (in as many weeks) first book was cell by stephen king and it was really cool, would make a great zombie horror film similar to night of the living dead or 28 days later. second book has apparently just been made into a film, it's called starter for 10 and was funny, a little predictable in some places, but then it's that kind of book that if it wasn't predictable you'd be disappointed in it. it was funny too which is always a bonus. it seems at the moment that i'm just digesting books, so if you've got any recommendations i'd appriciate them. reading the life of pi next because mum reckons it's good and she's just finished it
tonight might be the first night this week where i don't go out...or work. we shall see...
well i guess that's it really
take care peeps, have a good weekend and you never know i might have something good o say at the end of the day...fingers crossed

TMI 58
It's tuesday and i nearly forgot about this...i've been away for too long...
real post underneath, but here's too much info for you
1. Have you ever bought an adult magazine? If so which one?
yeah...i've got a copy of playboy (the one with kiss in full make-up) i've bought others too, but i can't remember the names of them
2. Did OJ Simpson really do it?
no, no idea why i just don't thikn that he did
3. Is Clay Aiken gay?
he looks like he's a pixie or something...not that that has any bearing on his sexual preference. why can't he be bi?
4. Are you racist? If so who do you hate?
the old joke would be i'm not racist, i hate everyone
i don't consider myself racist, ubt it bugs the shit out of me that companies employ people who can't speak english in customer facing roles (KFC in oxford used to be a prime example not sure these days as i've not been in there for ages)
5. Ever videotaped yourself having sex?
no, although i've taken pictures and had pictures taken from her POV too, but they didn't go very deep into what we got up to that night because we both got side tracked by what we were doing rather than taking pics of it happening...
bonus: am i kinky? not sure, i'm sure there are kinky things that i do and that, but it generally depends on the person i'm with as to how kinky i can be, i'm all for pushing boundaries
that's my TMI done...regulars, check below for the other post (i've managed to get the interviews update finally done)

2 interviews, 24 hours and a lot of driving pt 2 (take 2)
ok i'm trying this one again
thursday
interview 1
stage 1 interview...sit down and chat to the nice people
which i did, i put across why i want the job (i think i can do it, i'm after something that i can get my teeth into and basically i've not got a job) they asked a series of classic questions, the best one being "if i were to ask your current manager (group of friends) to describe you in 3 words, what would they say?" so i was honest, i said that he'd say i was reliable, trustworthy and big. which is true, he'd say that, my mates would probably add loyal in there as well, but the big would still be there.
made me laugh
the place was really nice (although a little warm) the atmosphere was relaxed and it seemed like somewhere where i could work happily.
they even had a fussball table in the staff room (i say staff room, it was more like a big lounge)
anyway 2nd part of the interview was a pair of maths and communicatoins tests, 30 minutes each test, he maths test had 40 questions which i didn't complete and the comms test had 60 questions which i finished in 20 miuntes
confidence level: >70%
would i take it? yes
drive to somerset was pretty boring, but on the way down i did have a chuckle (so much so that i nearly crashed) as i passed a van which bore the company legend B.J.Champion, i think they were plumbers or electricians...but that was the sole highlight of a rather boring drive which the computer was righ about, it did take me about 2 hours (but then i was in traffic the WHOLE way
the evening was good, the pub i stayed in was nice, had a couple of drinks, 6 or 7 i think, not actually that sure...nice food and a nice room too, recommend it to anyone who's in that area.
interview 2
i got there on time, felt fine too, considering the drinking the night before...
had a tour, it reminded me of when i was working for SOLL because (and i don't mean ths badly against SOLL) the centre was in school grounds and was run down (i say run down, it was in a worse state than the abbey centre in berinsfield...much worse)
tour of the facility lead me to think that it wasn't actually that bad, but the staff there did see to be a little stuck in their ways (think penny at berinsfield for those of you who know who i mean) and there wasn't much in the way of advertising, promotional material, interest/eye-catching stuff, there wasn't enough storage space, although i have no idea as to the activities that would go on over there anyway, because there was no information on them.
interview phase 1...panel interview
15 minutes with different groups that represented the centre, the staff and the trust behind it. the centre and the staff were good sections, i babbled on about developing the centre within the community, about promoting the centre and increasing awareness of it, about changing the programme for the centre making it more to do with what people want rather than just what can be offered. the third mini interview was crap, the bloke who interviewed me was about 85 and wouldn't recognise the modern leisure industry in a criminal line-up even if it was the only one in the line up! he asked me several questions and didn't give me much time to understand what he was asking, let alone actually letting me answer them before he butted in with what he thought i should've answered anyway...
lunch...was enough for about 12 people, but seeing as they were only interviewing 3 of us and 2 of them left before lunch, it was pretty much all for me and anyone who was left (staff wise) so i chowed down and then went into my proper interview
it went well i guess, although one person thought i was turning the leisure centre into a leisure club because i didn't get my point across well enough the first time, so i corrected myself and cleared up the ambiguity (big words today). then came the all time classic question "why do you think you should get the job?" i went at it with confidence "because i'm the best person to fill this role, i've got a wealth of experience, i'm young and ambitious and i have hte drive to make this centre succeed" i even told them that one of my previous managers said that i would be back into leisure within 3 years of leaving it because i've got pool water for blood, overkill maybe, but by this point i was in two minds about the job anyway.
confidence level: 60%
would i take it? maybe
drive home was ok, uneventful though and although i came back a different and longer way, it still only took about 2 hours and i used less fuel on the way back than on the way...
other news
not a lot is happening at the moment
spent the day in london yesterday, walking around and just trying not to think about the interviews or anything like that. someone new was acting as my guide because she needed to go there for her work and i bummed along for the fun of it and because i didn't want to be in didcot for another day
anyway, it's tuesday morning (nearly lunchtime really now) and i was told that i should hear something yesterday or today with regards to the job i'm not sure i want, so we'll see and i'll update as soon as i've heard anything

bloody computer
i had this really big blog about my interviews and stuff
but i got disconnected as i went to publish it
and now i can't be bothered to write it all again
in brief
yesterdays was good, i'm optimistic about it
todays was ok, not as good, but i'm still fairly optimistic about it

24 hours, 2 interviews and a lot of driving
still it should be fun...
in a little over 2 hours i've got my first interview, the position is a sector analyst in thame, fairly local, about 30-40 minutes drive depending on traffic and all that. the job seems to basicaly require me to be looking at figures all day and analysing them to work on ways of getting maximum occupancy and things like that for the hotel i'll be working at. the company are looking to invest a lot of time in training me to do the job, and the money certainly looks good (£25k+ pa) that would mean that if i get this job i'll have increased my salary by nearly £10k in a very short time frame (since june) not bad huh?
then after finishing up at that interview, i've got to rush home, pack an overnight bag and haul ass to somerset, some 120 miles away (about 2 hours according to the directions site that i use, the don't take into account my driving though) find the pub that i'm booked into and just chill for the evening so that i'm nice and fresh for tomorrow's interview. this job is a leisure centre manager position, working for the council, therefore the money's not too bad again (circa £22k - £24k pa), but the experience that i've got could get me this position and it's something i've done for 10+ years in total...we shall see
i've also got the added bonus of being able to start as soon as possible, which is always an added bonus for the prospective employer. the only issue with getting the job in somerset would be that i live 2 hours away and would have to commute until i could move (which hopefully wouldn't take too long to arrange) and living down there is much cheaper than living around where i am now
anyway i've not got either job yet so i need to chill and concentrate on getting them before thinking over which one i want...if i get either of them that is
PP the t-shirts were not £100, they were £15...i got £100 for my birthday, i spent a bulk of that on a stereo system (£190) and then got a couple of t-shirts
anyway 'nuff said, i need to go and get ready for my interviews
i'm pumped
i'm ready
i'm going to get them both because i'm that damned good!

Humie dogs
humie dogs indeed..sorry i just wanted to get that out of my system before i got into anything. it comes froma book that i've just finished reading called before & after and it's a funny view on armageddon in which the forces of evil and good do battle in a small welsh village which has suffered a recent spate of exploding sheep...anyway both sides refer to us mere mortals at some point in the book as Humie Dogs and it made me laugh
yes i know i'm weird
i don't care
:oP
so i'm no longer the birthday boy
and you know what, it feels no different
i'm tired today though
after the festivities of the WWE last night (yes i did take a few pictures...some have come out really well, some are just plain shit) [pictures pending] i didn't get to bed until about half 1 this morning. and i got called at 8 this morning with an offer of a day's work...couldn't turn it down really, so i got up and bleary eyed, i drove to a small place where i found out that i wasn't going to be picking and packing as i was originally told, but i was going to be the drivers mate for teh day. i have never done this work before, so had no idea what it entailed...and i was pleasantly surprised at just how damned easy it was. we did 2 drops, the first was a head board (that was all) and the second was some small items of furniture...and that was it, for the whole day...and i got paid a days wages for this and sitting in a van all day (that wasn't as fun as the guy driving was a bit of an arse to be honest...)
sweet:)
anyway
on thursday i'm heading off for the interview on friday morning. thought it might be a good idea to travel down the night before rather than the morning of the interview, that way i don't have to rush or anything in the morning, seeing as this place is about 2 hours away from my home town (maybe more). got to sort out what i want to wear too...think it'll end up being the same old suit and tie, but i've got a few other options now as to which tie and shirt i wear...
also wondering about getting rid of the beard...what do you peeps think, beard or no beard?

28
thanks linny for the birthday wishes
technically you were the first person to do it, but i didn't see it until just now, so others have done it between you doing it and me getting it...but still it was special and i liked it :)
right, i'm 28 and i got £100...do you know what i'm planning on doing with that money? i'm going to get myself a wrestling t-shirt!!!
you know it!
with the remaining money i'm going to invest in a new stereo, seeing as i sold my old one a few weeks ago at a car boot sale...enough said
news type stuff
people i'm telling you all this (almost) first: i've got an interview on friday for a VERY good job, and by that i mean it's actually a lot better than the one i've just left...and it's in a nice area of the country and better than that, it's cheap to live there too :D
probably getting a little ahead of myself there, but i've got to be optimistic, if i go in there with a positive attitude, then i'll perform better...yes you perform in interviews, it's like your very own stage show.
when i say almost first, obviously i told my mum first, because she was here when i got the letter, then i told someone new and then i told the chef at the pub and the landlord as well because i need the inght off.
someone new is a friend who has been there for me this couple of weeks, so i thought she deserved to know so she could be happy for me
and she was
anyway...
i found an album that i really want the other day, so i bought it, it's by a band called senser and it's awesome, although i doubt many of you will like it or even have heard of them (with the exception of woja and maybe kate and jen) it's bene in the car since i got it...nice and loud
new car is running nicely too, nice large turbo engine that really shifts like you wouldn't expect it to! and it still makes me laugh when the dump valve goes
anyway i'm off to spend my money on a new hi-fi (making sure that i've got enough left for a t-shirt tonight)

life goes on
so she doesn't want me back, and it's all because i made a decision that affected all of us as a family without talking to her about it
crushing as that is i've gott o get over it and move on with my life
alone
still looking for a job, although i've applied for a few now, just waiting to hear how they go
got rid of both my cars now, have borrowed a mate's car for the time being with a view to maybe buying it off him in a couple of weeks
i don't like living back with my mum, but i've hardly been here this week what with working so much at the pub and trying to find myself a job.
anyway
i'm still here and still chugging alone

broken man
i fucked up
the new job was shit
so when i was offered to either work all the hours under the sun (around 60+ a week and only be paid for 40) or leave today, with a month's pay and spend the time looking for a new job
that's exactly what i did
so now i'm unemployed
add to that the fact that because i quit without having a job to go to, the lovely lady told me to move out and ended our relationship
i can understand her POV because without a job to go to i can't provide for us and therefore there's no stability in our lives
so i started the day with a job, a house and a family, i end it with nothing

it's alive...ALIVE
ok so i'm still alive people
i've been busy with work, and i've not got internet access anymore there, and at the moment i'm still working on getting access at home, that should be about 2-3 weeks away before i get that all sorted!
work
work
work
it's not going as planned people, there are a lot of issues that are making me an unhappy bunny! and there's not a lot i can do about it. to put it mildly, if i didn't need this job to pay my way in life then i'd have walked out about 2 weeks ago
postcards, i've got quite a few now, and i'm still expecting more, looking forward to it to be honest
life, is good apart from the issues at work and the minor problems that are coming from being there...home life is pretty good at the moment and i'm enjoying living with the lady
anyway best be off, as soon as i get internet i promise i'll be hitting your blogs with a new found vigor and commenting like a demon, but until then, sorry peeps

Friday 22 September 2006
one week on
well i started my new job
and i love it
it's so nice and i've really enjoyed working there this week.
so far i've played tennis, had my gym induction, got shown how to make coffee and had a jolly off
to nottingham
worst day so far though was the day when i put my shoes on top of the car and got in, leaving them on top, i then drove off and forgot all about them until i got to within 5 miuntes of work and realised what i'd done...someone somewhere had a nice new pair of shoes and i had to go and buy a nicer newer pair...bloody typical
see it really does happen to people!
anyway i've managed to come down with a cold in the last couple of days which sucks! bu i've got today off (because i'm working tomorrow)
sorry i've not played this week, not TMI or HNT...i've still not sorted out getting a phone line, let alone b/band at the flat, but once i've finished this i will be taking the computer there, so slowly i'll be sorting it out!

friday fun
it's friday
it's my last day
which means i doubt i'll be able to update as often when i start my new job, which means i'll need to get a phone line and then the broadband linked to our flat
actually that's something i could do now...cunning!
felling pretty tired at the moment (and hungry) got up and was in work this morning about half 6 this morning because i needed to get some work done...means i might be able to leave early...seeing as it's my last day i don't think they'll fire me for it!
i've found all my leads and camera, so i'll be able to upload some pics...not that i'll be able to blog them though lol ho-hum
interesting comments on yesterday's HNT (linny apparently we're a couple)
found my BMG beanie yesterday, so because it was cold this morning and it was way to early to sort my hair out i've got it on...i like my beanie :)
speaking of hair, i need mine cut sometime soon, thinking of shaving it all down short, not sure yet though...we shall see
was sick last night...first time in ages, the lady thinks it's down to stress (this last week at work has been hell because the spanish guy left me a pile of large quotes that should've been done in germany and or that he's had them for a couple of weeks before handing them over to me, so i've been getting in the shit as a result...wanker!
anyway it's my last day today, so it doesn't matter
need to make sure that i've got rid of everything of my computer later. and that i've got everything out of my drawers too...don't want to be leaving anything behind really!
guess i should crack on... :o(
but before i go...a postcard update:
got 4 now, got my 2nd one from woja yesterday
until next time peeps take care

it's my last day
which means i doubt i'll be able to update as often when i start my new job, which means i'll need to get a phone line and then the broadband linked to our flat
actually that's something i could do now...cunning!
felling pretty tired at the moment (and hungry) got up and was in work this morning about half 6 this morning because i needed to get some work done...means i might be able to leave early...seeing as it's my last day i don't think they'll fire me for it!
i've found all my leads and camera, so i'll be able to upload some pics...not that i'll be able to blog them though lol ho-hum

blogger HNT

used with her kind permission.
I've found the wires and camera, maybe next week i'll be able to sort you out with a new picture, we shall see
in other news:
i've had my first postcards from my plea. Linny's 2 arrived on tuesday and i got one from Woja on wednesday...looking forward to getting more (if you don't know what it's about, click the link, email me and we'll get along famously ;))
last 2 days at work, thankfully, although they seem to be dragging like nobody's business and i have 2 quotes due out today, one of which i haven't started yet!! it's getting me down a little, but i'm way passed caring now!
anyway, HHNT peeps,

This should probably be taped to your bathroom mirror where you could read it every day.
You may not realize it, but it's 100% true.
1. There are at least two people in this world that you would die for.
2. At least 15 people in this world love you in some way.
3. The only reason anyone would ever hate you is because they want to be just like you.
4. A smile from you can bring happiness to anyone, even if they don't like you.
5. Every night, SOMEONE thinks about you before they go to sleep.
6. You mean the world to someone.
7. You are special and unique.
8. Someone that you don't even know exists loves you.
9. When you make the biggest mistake ever, something good comes from it.
10. When you think the world has turned its back on you take another look.
11. Always remember the compliments you received. Forget about the rude remarks.
what?? double posting again today? Yep, that's me, hitting you with a double dose of the Px mind frame (even if both are poached from other places)
just goes to say something about the work today doesn't it really...i've got a pile to do, but thankfully it's my last week and i'm not really that bothered by it, i'll get things done, but my way...and in my time frame too

TMI Tuesday
not sure what it is? click the link
1. Do you leave a tip at a restaurant? If so, how much? Do you double the tax?
if i've had a good meal, i'll tip, usually around the 10% mark, sometimes more, sometimes less though, depends on how good it was and how much it was
2. What celebrity did you have a crush on growing up?
currently have a crush on kate beckinsale, although i used to have a big thing for kate winslet, that was about 10 years ago
3. Do you excuse yourself to “fart” or let it rip and blame the guy next to you?
depends on the company, normally i'll just let rip and then say pardon after if its audible anyway, if it's a silent one i don't say a word ;o)
4. When entering or exiting a store, do you hold the door open for the person behind you, if they're relatively close… if they're more than 10 steps away do you pause and hold the door open?
depends on what mood i'm in a guess, if i'm busy shopping, in my own world or in a rush, then i'll hold it for a bit, if i'm in a good mood or the person behind me looks nice then i'll hold it. I'll always hold it for pushchairs and elderly people though
5. Ever had mono?
what's mono? i'm guessing i've never had it EDIT: mono=glandular fever, now some of you might know that i've had a few female friends in my time and some of them have had the kissing disease, but i've never got it, so i think i've got some kind of immunity from it, possibly making me a carrier(?)
Bonus (as in optional): Ever paid for sex?
by paid for i'm guessing you mean gone to a hooker or similar...no
i only question it because some people consider it paying for sex if you take someone out and pay for dinner, a nice evening and all that stuff just to get sex of the person you're with (i haven't done this either)
TMITuesday done! now don't forget my plea!

my dongle HNT
Ok it's a bit of a twofer today...as some of you know i moved recently and in moving i have "misplaced" the cables for my camera...along with the camera!
but basically, because of this little baby (my new bluetooth dongle) i can now send pictures i take on my phone to my computer and post that way
so here's the techie part, my dongle...
and here's where i am now this morning, although i wish i'd stayed in bed:

RIP my "work" blog
I've decided that with under 2 weeks left at work that i'll be getting rid of my "work" blog
apart from the fact that no-one inputs to it
let alone reads it anymore
and 2 of the original 3 members have left (ok i've not technically left yet, but i will be soon)
i'm sorry, but it's going
going
gone!
laters peeps
i promise a proper update thing tomorrow
or at the very least something a little more interesting
PS
don't forget my begging post

begging post
ok guys, i'm going to do some shameless begging now...
seeing as i've just moved
and seeing as i'm poor and can't afford a real holiday this year
i'm asking, pleading, nay begging for a little something from as many of you as possible
all i want is a post card from your home town
or something like that
basically i want post and i want to be shown places
and this is the easiest way i can think of doing it!
contact me for a postal address (partly because i've just moved and i'm not 100% sure on it and partly because i don't want to post it on the internet, even though it's only friends that will find it!)
so come on people
please make my day
get in touch and send me a postcard
i want to see how many i can get, the more i get the better, i'll post a pic of me with as many as i get too
PLEASE!!
PLEASE!!
PLEASE!!
take care peeps
Px
Addendum:
- i want postcards from anywhere and EVERYWHERE (even from Newbers woja!)
- just to make sure because i've been forgetting to put it on the address i've sent out to a couple of people, I'm in the UK
