Dec 4th 2007 As requested

Peoples been wonder why I have not posted in a while well i’ll explain that after showing u the past 2 attempts i’ve made to blog:

Wheres the motivation?

Wheres the Inspiration?
Its gone…

Its so bad that I hardly blog here anymore, at one time where I used to blog weekly about my “fun” life its just gone

Stop closing the garage door.

It highly pisses me off, I dont like the garage door being closed all the time I open the garage door to take my car out drive up to shop come home (maximum of 10 minutes) Put car in garage… wait the doors closed!! argh Open door *waits for door to open* the door eventually opens and put car in.

Whats causes the door to be closed? because someone is a little bit button-happy and enjoys closing the door… Not for long however I shall be rewiring the button so it only opens the door and wont close it again, this will make both party’s happy, I get to have the door open and I can close it when I want and they get to open the door and full-fill there button-happiness.

I might buy a small RF kit to put on my car keys too.

——-

So what now well i’m going to actually attempt to fully post tonight. Saturday was pretty cool i spent the day with amy then went out with pete, kt and bex that night it was going well i didnt mix my drinks until last minute urrrrghhhh then sunday i spent all day recovering not able to hold water or food in my tummy very long.

Today i didnt bother going into college instead tried to get some work done for college (which i have hardly any interest in anymore) and some work on pug306.net downtime problems as well and some client web design work and stuff.. I’m finally learning how to run a business properly with contacts and stuff so its a big step for me.

Petrol prices dont go there today i see diesel at £1.15 a litre and £1.10 for petrol outrageous, I attempted to put esso into my tank but it justdrank that so its back to good old BP stuff. Christmas is coming up FAST with only 3 weeks to go and i’ve nearly finished my christmas shopping all done online this yea - screw shops, actually i think i did all my xmas shopping online last year lol.

I guess theres a few thing I enjoy at college being with my TRUSTED mates and working in 148 on the new game machines - though even that can be tense at times. As christmas comes along TV reminds me its a family time… i feel for people who don’t have there full family to spend christmas with i wont be with my parents for the 3rd year running. *sigh*

oh well… least everything with me and amy is going well I love her and i think im coming with terms that I want to stay with her (is that the fact that im turning 20 in march *shudder* and nobody else will want me by then lol) thats another thing turning 20 in march I thought i’d never see that happen but wow here it is speeding along :(

Apr 21st 2007 Change of direction in life

I’m not quitting college… I’m going to try get into a university depending on how next year goes, Why the sudden change? Well with a few things that happened I’ve realised its my life I’ll do what i want and not be a sheep.  I’m not going to go and do a college uni course either I’m going to try get into Hulls Art and Design Union there web design course because it seems I enjoy web design more than anything else.

Monday I’m back at college don’t know what its going to be like there but I feel I have to go. Looks like there’s no 100% attendance this term, I’m not dreading going back just a little…. aware… and I will be for a while until things sort themselves out - that’s not going to happen over night. This week I’ve not done a lot mostly going to work and seeing friends.

Today however was pretty good, because my gdads in hospital recovering from a new knee op I drove Nan and Joe to Louth Hospital, its wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be, I couldn’t of got there without my sat nav though. The hospital was rather old style and it was a bit scary in one way I didn’t like it and neither did Joe.

Louth sucks, me and Joe drove into town to go clothe shopping but there was f*ck all there in fact I got lost the first time I went looking for town and nearly headed for a 14mile drive to Horncastle. I turned around in someone’s drive only to find they wanted to come into there drive at the same time… whoops… so I reversed into another drive and they wanted to get out of there drive… eventually I turned round and went off driving still lost I stopped on some grass popped sat nav in and told it to take me back to the hospital then I was back tracking my mistake… we found town eventually.

Town was mental there was people everywhere Joe was talking loudly about the people looking inbred and how old the town is I was telling him to shhh lol. WE FOUND NO SHOPS OF INTEREST - I found a bank or a group of banks but no shops… after feeling defeated we drove back to the hospital and stayed there for another 30 mins then drove to Boston because we was going to have a meal at Eagles… WRONG – Well not straight away.

Boston had a footy match on and ohh what was the odds we came just when people was coming out… there was people EVERYWHERE! No parking spots either! eventually parked along a side of a road we got into eagles and ordered a meal. I had cod and chips so did Joe… nana has her lasagne because she has nothing else but that or scampi… wow I’d get bored of that.

Joe announces he wants a piercing nana gets all defensive and grumpy - get over it, he isn’t going to listen he will do what he wants (Cant wait to see gdads response though!) it’s not been too bad I guess… SiteDesignr is coming along nicely put a lot of work into it too. One of my main problems is clients don’t seem to want to do the analysis stage.. I made them a questionnaire and they just aren’t interested in filling it in… Are we supposed to read minds now?

Mar 7th 2007 Bored not alot has happened!

Well this week its been boring really what with my portable hard drive dying while backing up it just aint really been my week. Its starts off with last week i’d got all my assignmnets near enough completed and deleted the old backup on WAP (grentz PC) to make room for the new backup (WAP has only got 300mb disk space left) Goto run the backup half way through it spins down… windows starts moaning about it… not being able to read it…

So i unplugged it and popped it back in nothing… totally dead no spin up nothing… so i preordered one from PC Worlds site and drove to Kings Lynn bought it for £20… urgh then drove home. Got home openned the case and there was a hard drive inside already… wierd… so i took that one out and popped mine in and nothing… i started to panic because i’d lost all last years work and more importantly all this years work i was nearly at crying stages at one point.

So i calmed down and started looking into Data Recovery prices ranging from £100 to £1000, i got a quote of £145 to have my data recovered but decided it would be faster (and cheaper) to redo it again so here I am redo’ing SAD , BIS 2, and web dev! Well having a break at least! Thats all i’ve really been doing

Friday was my birthday i had my mate pete round because everyone was busy or they live too far away which is fair enough. Me and pete had a pretty good laugh we didnt go out just sat in the living room watching old school tv programs like… Crystal Maze while getting pissed lol! pretty fun time Saturday was interesting, i was n bed and at 7am theres a phone call… (im still recovering from friday) answer it and theres an emergency next door… i’ll let the pictures answer:

[fa:p:id=409960965,j=r,s=s,l=p]

[fa:p:id=409960972,j=l,s=s,l=p]

Yes thats a flood in the front garden from the previous nights heavy rain the mina sewage pipe got blocked and so my aunt was getting everyones sewage in the front lawn as the day progressed more water just kept on coming until anglian water turned up 4 hours later! I got sat nav for my Bday which is pretty cool for when i got out to places, like to see shelly.

Worked sunday didnt do alot though monday… see shelly and my mates lol that was pretty cool but i didnt get to see shelly much :( same with tuesday but she looked so fit seriously it made me think to myself wow i’m going out with her i feel like the luckiest guy alive (i know you will all laugh but thats how she makes me feel, she is so hot!

…and here we are together :D

[fa:p:a=special-pictures,id=393019766,j=l,s=s,l=p]

Jan 1st 2007 [RANT] Happy New Year!

Happy new year everyone hope you all had a good time, i personally just stopped in and got pissed with my brother at the end of the day its just another year whats the big deal? Just an excuse to get pissed and I don’t really drink that much anyways. I told Alex last night that i thought it was best we get to know each other abit more before/if we get together for some reason I just don’t feel right like all the other times what the hell is wrong with me?

I really liked her from the start but then it just grew… cold?! i never knew what to say to her and she hardly speaks either so that didn’t help in the end we had the same convo as the previous day or didn’t talk at all so I had to do something I was pretty upset that I had to tell her this but something had to be said else it would of just got worse. Of course these days you can’t do anything without anyone sticking there nose init and saying some crap for there own personal (sad) amusement.

Take this for example:

“well i erd u onli liked er cuz u wanted t get closer t me n ****”

I aint getting onto nobody but that I will claim as the best bullsh*t for 2007 whoever said it… well you could of at least say something that could possibly been belived geez. if you have a problem with me you come see me not go making up childish rumours like that lol I really can’t be bothered with it.

So thats the first piece of news and that happened while we are not even at college whats it gonna be like when we get back? “Tom goes out with Alex and cheats on her by sleeping with a dead cat” well the way people beleive things that really wouldn’t suprise me. Yeah i’m pissed off if you can’t tell.

And all of that happened in a matter of what 2 or 3 days? imagine what week of this could be like. Anyways moving on… welcome to January 2007 and this year will go fast just like 2006 before you know it, it will be 2008… damn.

Well we all go back on Thursday back to college, I can’t be bothered to get the bus anymore nobody talks anymore… just remembered I got one more assigment to do… if i ever meet that bloke who thought the students want more smaller assignments i’ll soon give him my piece of mind.

But I think it be nice to get back to college away from here ok its not too bad but its just really boring I need a laugh (then I wouldn’t be ranting as much) now that I think about it maybe what i said to alex was a mistake i kinda miss her right now… so guess thats my well week or couple of days…it was so nice to see our stuck up side of the family go… they didn’t even say bye to me lol.

We went to PC World today to take a printer back and get some advice I have been trying to tell my grentz since christmas day well.. I can;t complain gdad bought me some earphones :) i guess its my job to buy this “Compact Flash” card off the internet now gives me something to do I guess…

thats all for now I leave you with a video… of CRAZY Arab drifting

Nov 8th 2006 Finally an Update!

Guys first of all I am really sorry for no updates for over a fortnight! i’ve been pretty busy.. mostly going out from mini cruze’s round Long Sutton and looking for a Job… A JOB!?! Woah.. Yeah I know.. I found out very quickly that to run a 1.8 you need money… thats means getting a job…

Ok so I’ve been round the shops in Boston first HMV they gave me a form.. but it was too… advanced to fill it in.. out of my depth like so I decided to look for somewhere.. errm easier and right up my street.. PC World.. I’ve been there loads of times and theres been time when i’ve wanted to correct and employee when they have said something wrong too.

So I got my CV all updated with my new qualifications.. which I must say are pretty good (the new ones that is) got all the form sorted handed it in.. I really hope I get called up for an interview because I feel with my current knoweledge I know quite alot then most people.

Car is driving about great… love it… but it drinks petrol…like most cars lol. anyways thats a pretty small update I aint really got much else to say…
