Feb 23rd 2007 Owwww my back!

I really am in pain this week I can hardly walk cuz f my back i think i’ve slipped a disc or something but it kills and i walk like a stick insect because if i walk normally it hurts so i have to walk retarded it still hurts but not as bad well i aint really done alot all week i’ve attempted to get some college work done!

So i’ve been pretty busy this week today i went to the doctor today about my back and he has subscribed me some pills so hopefully my back pains will be cured! Then I got attacked by my razor when I was shaving I had it unde the hot water then put it on my face and the shock made me jerk and cut all my lip thats begining to heal up.

Today my new CPU turned up so I did a mini upgrade from a Intel Celeron D 2.66Ghz with 256k cache to a Intel Pentium 4 HT 3Ghz with 2mb cache. I can kinda notice  speed difference bu the cache will be the biggest improvement!

And i’ve upgraded my grents pc too ok this is enough PC talk. Me and shelly getting along well i’m missing her i cant wait to get back to college to see her and my mates! oh well heres a video!

Going along with the last posts glow stick theme heres 12 being blended!

Feb 10th 2007 Windows Vista & College Rants

Well i’ve been using the lates Operating System from microsoft for about a week or so and well its not really that go its unstable and it lags like hell there are good points like the new games i invented like “How many processes can I end till vista crashes” that answer is 9 then nothing starts up again till you reboot.

I mean I know this is a new operating system with oh so shiny things on it but its jus a polished, overpriced version of XP with a sidebar which I aint really found a use for yet. I do however remember the problems XP had when it first came out so I can’t really speak just yet right now I think i’ll be resigning from Vista and going back to XP - For now.

Don’t get me wrong I like vista but its not very good for a main stream operating system right now. I aint really done alot this week yesterday i when off roading, there was this lorry stuck in the middle of the road on both sides actaully i’ll just show you this picture is should be better to understand.

So to explain this abit better basically the other side was going round this lorry is a “D” shaped yard my side had nowhere to go so I went on the grass lol! The weather was terrible though constant rain all the way home and to work, then came the wind I could hear it at work lol. Work is going fine I aint really been doing alot just cleaning lol.

College is going ok business being the most annoying subject (so glad I didn’t do business studys) but i think getting it back from other peoples feedback and my personal feedback to is that, the tutor treats us like school children, notice none of the other members of staff have a problem, because they treat us like adults they have a joke with us and talk to us.

Business doesn’t and they dont have any control ove rthe class, the whole class walks over her because they simply have no control, they don’t know how to control the class either, it doesn’t help with treating us like kids either because that just makes us even worse. The tutor doesn;t listen either people witnessed this when I tried to tell them that it was the other side causing trouble not us.

Our side of the class ALWAYS gets the blame and there we are sitting down paper infront ready to take notes then we get told off, sorry but just doing that makes us wanna piss about face it every student hates theory lessons unless theres some fun or laugher added into it, business lessons you get known of that instead treated like kids.

Then because that tutor cant control the class they run off crying to someone higher and tells them a load of bull, the one that pissed me off was where “we” aparently asked for notes on the portal,Well i only asked for the assignment and record sheet which eventually was put on the portal but because of that delay because I lost the assignment brief - sorry we are only human, humans lose things.

I enjoy most of the subjects in my course but business (and I think alot of people will agree here) I hate. And thats soley because of the tutor and the attitude with the students, there was one lesson when I got into the lesson and that was with the spider diagrams and stuff thats called “Interaction” it was group work and i found it interesting.

I’m expecting to fail my biz assigmment because i didn’t understand it and that i didn’t get much sense out of the tutor either. Aparent from that everything is going fine, im going out on Valintines Night with shelly, taking her out for a meal (isn’t driving great). Wait I have another rant People who think getting there EMA back signed after a week or even 2 weeks i can think of serveral people in our class that do it, and because of that members of staff are now talking about not back signing it for like a day.

I sometimes forget my ema for maybe a day then bring it in and get it back signed for that day but members of staff seem to get pissed off with it so I think they are gonna stop doing it, I hope not but i can see why they do it cause of people that abuse that privilage. LSU is going fine and this new guy is so much better then the person before, this guy actaully sits down and explain how to do it, im actaully remembering things too!

I think thats all for now I have a video too! (unintentional swearing involved)

Dec 25th 2006 Merry Christmas Everyone!!!

Seems just like last year when I was typing up 2005’s christmas post, and we even got snow last year too!
Hope your all having a great day, I am! I got this wicked new 19 inch widescreen LCD monitor for my hackintosh, but i looks better on windows then is does on mac… i think it needs to be tweaked… then I got some money errrm an Apple keyboard that brings my total Apple products owned upto 3 lol!

My grentz brought me the brush thing that you attach to the hose pipe to wash my car… but im abit worried since it feels like it migt scratch the paintwork… hmmm… They also bought me a mirror which was nice and a power surge protector… oh and ofcourse I got some socks lol, then some shower gel and stuff :)

BUT theres a change this year… my grentz have there stuck up side of the family over… these people have had something against me and my parents since we moved to spain as if I am the devils child (maybe ;) ) but seriously what on earth did i do wrong I have no idea! Anyways they came over last night and we sat round the table joe went to work leaving me alone, i tried all the time I was round the table to make conversation but they just didnt wanna know, i even said hello, and I didn’t get a reply… hmmm.

Oh well so I went upstairs and lived up there for the night until they pissed off back up the travelodge, then I went downstairs. Christmas Day come round yay! i laid in bed till 10am until i was woken up by my brother jumping on me (urgh) so i got up I went downstairs to say merry christmas to everyone individually… the grentz said merry christmas back but these two people god neither of them even said merry christmas… so i was pretty annoyed.

So me and joe sat in the kicten then she blurted out to her husband “When are we going home?!” what the hell you only just got here, I thought. Anyways we got all arranged and got the presents dished out, they never said a word to me or joe, so yeah they was being a**holes. funny thing is 30 minutes in she asks “Who are they??” Ok… so you have no idea who me and joe are… I give up!

Anyways after we got all presents open I took mine upstairs and then only come down when it was dinner after that i’ve lived up here having a good old drink, setting up my monitor etc. So yeah christmas has been alright, just wish our guests would actaully talk to me and joe!

Mum rang up just before dinner had a good talk to her which was nice… and I rang up my uncle last night to thank him for the christmas money he had posted so all in all its been good. The new theme is complete! and will be launched on 27th December I will post on that day too so if your subscribed then you will be notified :)

i’ved even got a YouTube video for you all this week!

Maybe its my simple mind but I found that funny lol!

Oct 13th 2006 [Long Read] I’m lost, i’m stuck.

Its true i’ve aproached that time in my life where I don’t know where I stand anymore thats my love life and my career. I am confused this week there been so much going on about me and leanne its just now pissing me off, there was people making all kinds of stuff up like rape and me and leanne will both say that not true at all.

People who know me in person knows that not true at all and that I wouldn’t do anything to harm anything really.. im a pu55y. I find it quite amusing when people think its sad because I don’t fight and i’d rather talk things out because it shows just what type of person they really are.

Talking with your fists where does that get you? Nowhere. I’m lost with my love life because well me and leanne are talkin again and we have started to sort out our differences and because well I am open I told alot of people what happened… not bragging or anything but I told them my side of the story.

This turned into rumours and because a direct attack towards leanne but we have both sorted out what happened and equally took the blame not just me which made me feel alot better. We have both now gotta try sort out what happens next this first starts off with trust and honesty.

I majorly misunderstood leanne and now im paying the price and kicking myself for it. Now I have been thinking out what I want to do for a career all I really ever wanted to do was be a system admin (networking/servers/etc) since I already self-taught myself all that stuff years ago.

But a week ago in one of my lessons a member of staff was talkin to another member of staff about being a tutor/teacher.. . This made me think I wouldn’t want to be a school teacher… there lives suck… I wouldn’t want to be constantly shouting at kids telling them to do such boring work like excel and word…

I’d like to teach college students though I think (actaully I know I can) stand up in front of 20 odd people and teach them about why AMD owns Intel for 1hr lol or why sticking things other than a floppy disc in the drive is a bad thing… I could keep it going but I wont. I think I could do it as college students are “alot more mature” to some degree we have a laugh but we have a laugh with the tutors too.

An aprentiship would be good i’d like that but I wouldnt want to lose out on Nat Dip i love the course and made some really good mates too.

Oh god 158 today have problems first thing this morning we walked in and it stung pretty badly… at the front of the class was a bucket and a hole in the ceiling… hmmm well suddenly we all heard water… and water began to drip out this hole quite alot within minutes the room stang of what I can describe as… 3 week old sh*t + some type of green discharge! in other words it was rank.

We then found out there was girls toilets right above where it was dripping and then we was expecting a great big sh…. ok moving on… :P we left the room promptly soon afterwards. Damn that room smelt. The week has been alright I guess and now I have a weekend to spend with my mummy who has come over today I aint seen her yet but I can’t wait.

I’m now bored… Its a friday night with hardly anyone online I aint really eating anything I did have soup but I aint had much of that either so I guess i’ll jus wel errm listen to music or something oh yeah little tip.

Don’t watch pirated DVD’s if your trying to impress a girl most of the time there complete crap and dont really impress the girl at all infact I don’t think pirated DVD’s are good at all the quality is terrible… random inser there but oh well. If you like My Chemical Romance they got a new song out if you didnt already know and heres the video to it its pretty good… but I dont like his hair. [Thanks Nat]

Watch it here else if its down look here

[UPDATE]

As said by Gerard in a recent interview: “This album is a story of a man, known as ‘The Patient’ who dies in a hospital. He goes on an odyssey and examines his life and the mistakes he has made. Gerard says he cut and dyed his hair bleach blonde to look like The Patient (many fans do not realize this), and his new look resembles a man who’s gone through chemotherapy.

Thats all really sorry its not embedded having a few problems with it screwin the site up guess i’ll work on that lol thanks for reading.

Oct 8th 2006 Tom buys a iPod nano 2

First of all me and Leanne didnt get on aswell as we thought it went, it wasn’t my option to edit last weeks post either, nuff said. So instead of spending loads of money on her I bought a iPod nano 2 to cheer myself up…

So the week has been up and down really the one thing I put my trust and love into f**ked me over. I spent 2 months doing so much for her always being there when she’s needed me protecting her alsorts I finally get her and it just f**ks up well badly and I just feel sh*t. Lost all trust in girls right now.

Tuesday was just your normal day of college having a laugh and doing our C++, Wednesday well… I wasn’t very well at all didnt really do much just mooch arround college which at the same time spread to Rich… oops.. Thursday I didn’t go in at all I stayed in bed till 12 then magically got better about 2pm.. Friday that was a good day and Leanne stopped the night and well lets just leave it there.

Leanne stopped the night and went home in the afternoon, that day was just tears for me. Today we went up Peterboro and had a walk around Queens Gate and I see the new iPod nano 2 and I thought to myself…gotta have that! so here I present my first ever piece of Apple Hardware:

[photopress:DSCF0015_1.JPG,thumb,pp_image][photopress:DSCF0014_1.JPG,thumb,pp_image]

As you can see its very slim and small and holding it it feels very strong and ridgid its come with some fairly good quality headphones but I like my £4 earplugs better… It works really nicely with iTunes 7.01 and I love how I can sync things really fast lol.

If your looking for somewhere to eat in Peterboro, don’t goto Paul Pry the menu there has got really bad there was only 6 main meals and they removed my favorite dish.. Lamb Shank.. Tom not impressed.. They got Joes soup wrong but they did take it off the bill and well his steak was cr@p. When we ordered we was faced with a £27 bill because the previous people didnt pay… wonder why!

So thats all really back to college Tuesday
