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 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 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!

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

Dec 8th 2006 Too much work!

Help were being over worked at college 98% of us are falling behind because of this bloke who think he knows what the student really want got his way - Multiple assigmments, this means breaking the assigments in 3 or more smaller assignments thus we fall behind ALOT easier.

Yeah including me… yes I am fallin behind I dont know whats gotta be in out whats been reffered and i’m normally pretty organised but this setup is just messing things up… so as a student rep guy would do… we did something about it! First a poling vote was put on on the colleges intranet, now we have done a petition to get these stupid small assigmments slapped into 1 big one why makes thing alot easier to manage.

This pettion was pretty simple it had there name, signature tick yes for 1 big assignment and no for… loads of them then comments… the outcome was basically only 2 people disagreed (smart ass’s :P ) and the rest of the class well aid yes they wanted 1 big assigment. Today I just sat in “SAD” head down… lost no idea what I could do so i decided the best I could do was setup some kinda speadsheet to try and oranise the mess this guy has made for us all - t*t!

Moving on christmas is gonna be here soon… great and as every christmas i’ll feel down because well christmas is a family time… apart from my family isn’t exactly a family… mum and dad will be in spain sure i’ll have the grentz thats cool but my parents *sigh* and well i have no idea when i’ll see them so thats gonna be on my mind for awhile…

College is ok just this work which is bugging me right now.. we got a new timetable no real problems with it just yet. Home is ok nans not really p*ssed me off for a while so thats alright. Love life? don’t go there…

** Site News **

I’m planning to do a little work on the site in january little tweaks here and there new photo system well… ok what i mean by photo system is to move them to flickr i’ve got a BETA site up and testing is looking pretty promising that is will be migrated over to the main site :)

The car is going great *touch wood* the spoiler is on and looks pretty good for a standard part heres 2 pictures i’ve taken its took a little bit off work and i’ll be touching up a scuff or too tomorrow!
