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 :(

I really do the end.

I wish it was that easy to blog sometimes but after a month without updates I just cant offer that to you all, so whats happened today oh nothing much…. just that my PORTABLE HARD DRIVE WAS STOLEN! (the following paragraph can be skipped because i’m just gonna swear in it.)

What f*cking t*ssers with no f*cking life what so ever, no f*cking respect for other peoples f*cking stuff, what the f*ck gives them the go ahead to go through someone elses property  to steal something thats worthless to them, yeah thats all my work from last year and some of this year I have a IVA  due soon and EUS due monday which i’ve now gotta go AGAIN, right I tell you what, if anyone knows who has it i aint bothered give me back the data and you can have the drive thats all I ask you can copy the 15gb of music too.

I hate people  that steal, but i will thank the person who handed the bag in to reception with other things still inside it thanks. Now tonight i’ve  just had to explain to client a backup of his site has been stolen too, he isn’t happy I aint happyand I just generally hate the person that took it, I dont hatemany people at all but I hate that person alot.

W*NKER! </end rant>

Insurance is finally sorted and now all I have to pay is £721 back to my nana and grandad… thank god! so i can drive my car and im insured! mum comes over next week also and due to the recent thing at college i’m gonna get my college work done and handed in and im gonna spend the week with my mum, because i dont get to see her alot… and right now I need her.

I really ont feel like im in the mood for this today so this will do for now I think you can gather the mood im in.

Wrote: October 3rd 2007 I Hate Insurance Companies

I really do hate them, yeah its coming to that time again to insure the car… well I’ve tried something new this time, quoting the car in September then quoting it every other day until i get to the desired date, result: £780 comp 150 excess mods declared, excellent so I bought it… wait… WRONG!

Your policy has not been issued and cover is not yet in force. Payment may have been taken from your card. We apologise for any inconvenience.

I did this on a sunday night… a little peed off at that point, couldn’t ring them Monday was at college same with Tuesday.. so I rang them today, I hate ringing up company’s on the phone because they bend you over and mentally rape you. So I gave the guy my quote number etc he ran me through the details got right to the end and he said “So today I can quote you ** Said the price here really fast** thats £90 a month with a £200 deposit… at that point my heart stopped and I instantly thought… WHAT!?!

I started to do quotes online while the bloke was running through it all, this was infact the cheapest I could get so I bit the bullet and said yes baring in mind there was constant pressure to give an answer right there and then. £90 is affordable no problems I guess…  i’ll just have to watch what I buy and manage my money better fair enough its a lesson in life.

Wait theres more the guy then said hey we are doing a special offer for students breakdown cover… I said no thanks i’ll be alright without it and the guy says nah you could do with it, you pay £7 deposit and then £6 a month I got forced into it and lkept saying no and stuff but I never got anywhere and i’m now paying £96 a month, way to go ENDSLEIGH now i’m stuff with that because its October and as i’m learning the insurance like to rape you more at the end of the year.

I guess that’s all, nan decided to remove the cardboard in the garage yesterday that really pissed me off, its basic common sense why there’s card board on the wall, to stop the door from getting damaged on the wall - duhhh. College well yesterday a total of 5 people actually turned up for A+ yesterday which is a huge disappointment for them who want to do the course, however some was either ill or in Jamies case had an accident.

Why is everyone ill at the moment, Joe came home today feeling sh*t, I wasn’t well last week either im now getting over and that recovering rapidly, at one point I got a sore throat and panicked thinking my glandular fever was coming back. Me and Ay had a little spat at each other Friday night but it was all sorted by Saturday afternoon lol oh well, least I ave my health, and a roof over my head… dunno how long for though *sigh*

Wrote: September 15th 2007 First Week Back At College

Well its been the first week back at college and if I’m honest with myself I really think I’ve enjoyed it. I am doing Networking/techy stuff for the whole year which I love doing. Didn’t do alot Monday mostly talking and stuff then we finished early enough for me to get to work to finish at 7 so i got the whole evening to play with.

Tuesday is a Optional day its normally your day off but for me and 8 others its an extra qualification called A+ by CompTIA (Computing Technology Industry Association) its a industry recognised qualification:

Topics of the Core examination include IRQs, direct memory access, practical computer repair, including installing or repairing: hard drives, modems, network cards, CPUs, power supplies, printers, and so forth. The focus of the exam is not theory, but practice. Sometimes graphics are used in exam questions. Topics included in the Operating Systems Exam include: memory management, configuration files, and historical operating environments rather than the cutting edge, newer technologies. (Wikipedia)

So its right up my street basically. Wednesday I had off so I washed the car then built a diluter which is like a bottle added to the hose pipe so I can spray car shampoo straight onto the car :D hmmm i’ll go get a pic…

diluter

Full image here with descriptions on the image just mouse over the image

So that was fun making lol… Thursday was a b*tch and it really did take it out of me, Friday was all right too so yeah im pretty happy with the layout of the time table apart from Thursdays but that’s fine i’d rather have one hard day lol.

Been testing some new anti-spam software for my blog called  Defensio im currently BETA testing it overall its not too bad but its let in a little bit of spam… but it is new so… hmmm shall we have a video…

Wrote: September 7th 2007 What a mess…

This morning I got up at 7am trying to get myself back in the routine ready for college which I start on Monday, I got up had a shower then had a play about with my cars sub which i’ve built a false floor and mounted the sub within the floor to hold it in place (pics coming soon). After I finished with that I decide to drive up town to see what I had in the bank for petrol and stuff.

I got into town (totally forgot it was Friday - Market Day) and parked up next to a modded ford fezzy and walked upto Natwest. Well there was a woman who pushed infront, didn’t bother me too much as I stood and waited for her to go I noticed the door was covered top to bottom in “translucent white stuff” And I though to myself “Why would someone do that?”

The woman then left and it was my turn as I approached the ATM I noticed it also was covered in white stuff in-fact the whole bank was, I dunno what it was and I didn’t really wanna know what it was so I entered my pin printed off a mini statement and then walked back to the car still wondering why anyone would feel the need to cover a bank in white stuff.

So after that I waited awhile then at 10.30 I set off to go see Amy for the day, I got there at 11 then we set off to Boston, parked up in college car-park since we are students :P then walked into town did some shopping, I finally used that £10 voucher college give me when I won an award in first dip. I bought some clothes and paper, pen and stuff for college. I think i’ve spent over £100 getting college stuff which ain’t too bad.

We briefly met up with Rich and Terri, Terri went off to lesson so then we walked back to the cars and said bye and I went to amy’s house for abit. Then we noticed what time it was I had to get to work, and she had to go pick up her sister from school so we both rushed off. I got home with 10 mins to spare which wasn’t too bad.

So that’s all that has happened today not a bad day really great being with Amy! This weeks been slow, someone broke into the Windmill well there’s nothing in there for anyone unless they want over 10 tonnes of pigeon sh*t pathetic! So i had to fit a new lock inside the mill and stuff Nana decided to come inside to and piss me off, I could of done everything required on my own with no problems.

In one way I can’t wait to get back to college to see my mates, the staff and to get out the house!

Amazing video of this guy doing a shadow shock well worth watching and I met after u seen it you’ll try replicate it with your own hands
