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?

Apr 14th 2007 Testing Testing 1, 2, 3 [RANT]

I think we are back on the air, live and kicking again, yesterday I once again got the Digg Effect woo! and bandwith went sky high! So i guessed it was time to move to a new server and cheaper then what I was paying on my prior web host. I have moved to DreamHost… I did look at my mates hosting but I did the maths and this worked out to be a better deal for my needs… well more than enough.

This is now what I have got!

  • 200gb of webspace with goes up 1GB a week!
  •  2tb - Yes 2 Terrabytes of bandwth
  • Everything else is virtually unlimited.
  • $190.80 for 2yrs BUT click here to drop it to £47.80 for 2yrs!

Compare that to my old host:

  • 500mb of webspace
  • 10gb of bandwith
  • Everything else is unlimited.
  • £30 a year thats £60 for 2yrs!

Hopefully this will be faster and the FTP seems alot quicker  too, Been busy working on my dedicated webdesign site and online portfolio but cant decide on a design yet. Development aint going too bad been putting some content on there and doing that. I’ve kinda missed shelly but i cba with it anymore just fed up of everything really.

Aparently slagging people off when I have’nt ok maybe moaned a little but don’t we all do that? be completely honest don’t you moan about some people you mean no harm but you just need to get it off your chest.  its comming to the point I cba to come to college anymore there always some sh*t and i get the blame for it.

I really don’t wanna do next yrs course because the ways things are i’m lost in life with no real idea what to do anymore. i’m fed up living in this country too my cars too expensive yet I have to keep it because its in dads name I have TW*T wrote on my windows of my car and a d*ck on the back window f*cking childish!

i’m just begining to f*ck my life it isn’t worth it anymore because the way people are with me I AM MISUNDERSTOOD most of the time people take things I say WAY to seriously, where a joke gets turned arround into a nasty comment I HATE IT because I didnt intend it to be like that and it f*cking drives me wild with anger because I HATE IT WHEN PEOPLE TWIST SH*T ROUND!

Fine if you don’t like me stay away, don’t bother me and I won’t bother you, i’m seriously f*cked of with this childish bullsh*t its doing my head in because all I wanted to do when I started college was come here f*cking leanr something then p*ss off out of the country forever! This country has f*ck all to offer to the english people apart from benifits from taxpayers money.

Whats the point in working? we are only paying the lazy b*stards that cant get off there arse and get a job… harsh… ok I know myself its hard to get a job BUT AT LEAST F*CKING TRY! ARGGHH. FUCK I HATE MY LIFE.

PS: Might not come back to college!

Apr 6th 2007 I’ve lost my angel

Me and shelly have broke up, she said that it wasn’t working out and she didnt feel hapy again… typical so thats it… no more some of my mates knew I had a idea something was up with her because she has neglected me all week and I feel a little used too because i taxi’d her and a mate from coningsby to donnington last saturday and then went round hers sunday to fix her pc *sigh* oh well!

yesterday was a pretty sh*tty day at college too it was really pissing me off i’m glad i’ve got 2 weeks off to just chill out and recharge my batteries because i’ve felt so run down and find out shelly wanted to end it really didnt help, damn my stupidity. Wednesday was interesting at college… Well i was in lesson wen mick walked in a and kinda shouted out “TOM PARKER” I thought i was in trouble (as i do) then he asked me to come to the front so I did… and he gave me this easter egg for 100% attendence this term which i was pretty happy about, I shared the egg with my mates :)

heres a bad picture of me shaking hand with mick and the egg itself! lol!

I don’t know if I mentioned it in the last post but my car has being playing up this time with the plip on my key it wont unlock or lock… I wednesday me, marshall and storer took a trip upto peugeot to see what they could do… at first the bloke got my car wrong eventually after getting the chasis number they found my car on the computer… aparently it is the key so a new one has been ordered heres the painful part:

  • Price of the plip/key - £52
  • Labour £32
  • Unknown number entered into the calculator… 17.5 (guessing thats VAT)

Final price… £99.98, £100 to get the car sorted… so its going in this wednesday (11th) to have it sorted out… bless it oh well I guess I need these things sorted. i guess thats all really hopefully going to be opening SiteDesignr (new site) this easter hol i’ve been making progress on it :)

Have a good easter :) I have got a video too!
