Jan 20th 2007 I have a job!

I HAVE A JOB! Yes its true its working in a power station cleaning offices pays not too bad £5.75 a hour for 2hrs every night the people are really nice so far so i feel I will enjoy it :) I start monday, cant wait really it be nice to get out lol.
If you live in the UK you will know it was VERY VERY windy like gale force wind and rain, and who drove to college init? Me yes silly me i really should of got the bus that day but well a bus is more prone to blow over so I went out in it. Cars, vans, and loads of lorries scattered about in trees, lamp posts and dykes.

3 lorries blown over just along the A16 then theres the rain… and lots of it some roads in boston was just flooded water upto 5 inchs deep… in some parts then there was part of the college’s roof tiles flying off, amazing to watch but also very dangerous. Thats all really aout the weather now the snow is gonna come apparently!

Anyways I have a new life rule… NEVER drink and go on eBay… you end up buying things which… to be perfectly honest you won’t want when your sober… for example a 400w Vibe subwoofer… I aint got the car fully wired up yet to test what it sounds like… my guess it what its gonna sound sh*t!

Tomorrow will be fun because i’ll be fitting the power cable to the battery then into the car and into the boot… loads of fun! And just now I got this really random email which was really interesting to read! Aparently theres a guy at my college who come accross my website and have a browse arround, he has a 306 and has a dint in the same place as me… wierd aye?

This guy has lived in a different country called france… where as i lived in spain… i’ve never been to france maybe one day! Hope you recieved my email back mate the postmaster said know to your main email addy :(

Anyways i’ll post in the week when i’m in the right mood to blog… I started writing this at 6pm and its now 11.57… oops! Oh and I just noticed i been blog for… 4yrs :| thats just…. shocking!

Jan 10th 2007 Shopping for ICE

Well since I have got my new headunit I guess its time to get some bass :D everyone knows i’m picky on what I get for my car and i’m always out looking for hours for the very best deal. I joined some forums and tried to find out some more information.. I guess i’m getting there and the clear message is… your not gonna get anything for £100.. thats if its custom bulit - great!

So i’ve been on ebay and loads of online shops i found quite a few deals for under £100 with the sub, amp and wiring kit but then another thing thats been sitting in my mind came up… will my car handle it on the forums they said anything under 800w will be fine, another thing is what size sub… 10″ 12″ or 15″ lol forget the 15″ too expensive but how do I decide on a 12″ or 10″ ?

Its seems the views are split, one forum likes 10’s and the other likes 12’s I was originally looking for a 12″ because I thought the 10″ looked too small… lol but if its the right wattage it gives out alot of “punch” and does lower frequencies. But then the other forum are supporting 12″ and saying they give out more bass are will do low freqencies too…

Looking arround on ebay its true… the 10″ are more expensive and i’m guessing this is because there better so I started putting in some bids. I’ve bidded on a FLI Trap 10 twin thats 1600w together and I could power them with a cheap 500w amp and that wouldn’t cause any trouble either but that would mean buying wiring kit etc.

Then theres loads of 12″ kits your can get passive (powered with external amp) or active (powered by bulit in amp) passive is what I want. Active would work but they done have very good amps eg 1000w sub with bulit in amp 300w… its abit… yeah. these are the kits i’ve been looking into:

12″ deals

10″ deals

so yeah not sure what to do right now I guess i’ll just wait and see with my bids on ebay if I win anything then i’ll go from there if not i’ll go with one of these… if anyone knows of any other good deals then post and comment or contact me :) I guess thats it really college is going good had a new learning support person yesterday he seems pretty cool and i can talk to him etc so i’m happy with that.

If anyone likes trance (better then that clubland 10 sh*t - complete toss) I found this site with does a 3hr podcast of free trance non-stop on every tuesday aka Trance-Tuesday :D - http://tranceportal.org

That plus this one too http://www.djaddison.com your sorted for 5hrs a week :D I just stick them on my ipod and listen to them in the car… easier to listen to with a good beat :)

I guess thats all really nothing else has happened, well it has but i’d like to keep that quite for now :)

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

Dec 17th 2006 College finishes soon!

And you know what? I can’t wait no really last week some things kicked off well I guess I should explain well I forget what day it was but basically me rich and marshall went off leaving pete aaron and katie alone well they went to tescos and i dunno where we went exactly… Katie was having a bad hair day bless her and somewhere along the lines aaron took the piss out of her and (from experience) this really upset her as it brought memories back up from school.

Aaron went over the top and really upset her and she didnt hardly talk all day we all noticed something was wrong, she told me about this on msn that night, I fort well i’ll have a word with aaron about it because I didn’t think it was very fair… I pulled arron aside and spoke to him and his reply was “I don’t care!” well I was pretty shocked at that and he walked off.

That was it didn’t hear nothing about it until the afternoon some how amy decided to get involved which had nothing to do with her… hell she isn’t in the same class… now the next thing really confused us… she was gonna go after katie… WHAT THE F**K she didn’t do nothing wrong!

So at that point I said to amy if u touch katie we won’t have nothing to do with u since katie was inocent she’d done nothing wrong to deserve any trouble… amy then sent me this rather nasty txt which upset me… (theres more to it too) so basically that was it, amy then started to fall ut with other people then what happened was a classic.

Somewhere along the lines aaron said something that was wrong or katie said something i’m not sure but amy realised what she’d done and attempted to get everyone back… uhh uhh WRONG!!! After saying all that she expects us to come running back to her… forget it. And that was it… so that was my wonderful week… BUT things are improving!!

My love life is getting a little bit better, its gonna take a little while to get back on my feet but i’m getting there… i’ve met a new girl called Alex richs gf’s best mate the first time we met we didnt talk hardly at all 3 words in total. Then I rang her up one night and we (me) spoke for 2hrs…she doesn’t say alot she is shy bless her :P then she rang up one night and we spoke again.

Friday night I drove to Donington (got a little bit lost and rich had to find me lol) picked her up and we drove through to Boston and went to see Casino Royale and we got a little bit closer… it was a pretty good film i enjoyed it then I drove her home in the rain (PISSING IT DOWN) I then drove home in the rain I got in at 12, pretty good night out I must say.

Ooooh and Christmas will soon be here!! a week Monday woo the new design will go live about 27th decemember its about done and its just going through optimization stages… that means i’m trying to make it supah fast loading! I can;t wait to get the design live, its now easier to expand with this design compared to what i’ve got now… which has grown old after only 3 months of being live… yeah I know…

I guess thats it really if you wont be back to read the Christmas post, I hope you all have a good Christmas and a Happy new year! Which reminds me… I need to buy my gdad a present still… and I need to wrap them… GREAT!

No videos this week nothing interesting lol
