LIVE BY THE CREED

Wow, every time I log in to my blog there’s a new update to download and mess up my database. So you know what, fuck you update, fuck you.

Anyway, back to me.

I’ve the strange feeling I am teetering on the edge of a rut and depending on what I do in the next couple of months: I’m either going to fall in to this rut and never EVER get out; or I’m going to avoid the rut, change my life completely and potentially be very happy or very sad.

The thing with this rut is, it’s comfortable. It’s familiar. I’m pretty happy with my life at the minute. I get paid a pretty decent wage and don’t have all that much to pay out. But I’m getting bored of my job. There’s so much hassle for so little recognition. I’ve been trying to keep involved with the web design team but they keep messing me about and pushing the catch up session back.

Argh, I don’t really know what I’m trying to say, I’m just fed up. And bored. And I wish I didn’t live so far away from Abi. But if I’ve learnt anything over the last couple of years is that I don’t always get what I want (unfortunately).

I’m going to try and update my blog more often, but I do update Twitter quite a lot so you can generally keep up to date with me there. One thing I’ve decided I want to do more is take lots more photos of my day to day stuff. I always have a camera on me, so why not use it?!?!?!

Alright, rant over. Have a good day everyone.

Come on the Gooners!!!!

Erm… just an update in the things in my life at the minute I guess.

Football – Well England are out of the world cup, not that I’m surprised. I don’t know if I’m even that bothered. From the very start I’ve been wanting either Spain or Holland to win. Where as England didn’t even deserve to qualify from the group stage.

Tennis – Not had much of a chance to watch Wimbledon this year, what with the World Cup being on and already Andy Roddick is out. Boo.

Work – Work is going ok, just plugging through. My line manager is away on holiday for two weeks from Friday, so my work load will double, but oh well. Nothing I cant handle *gulps*

Fitness – I’ve been going to the gym recently and I’m really proud of how I did today! I managed to finish my 5km run in around 32 minutes, which might not sound all that great, but I managed to do it with out stopping to walk at all. In fact, I did it by starting on 9km/h (it was on a treadmill) and gradually increased up to 14km/h. I even managed to make it through the weight machines as well! So yeah, very proud of myself today.

Abi – Abi is currently in Canada visiting family, after being in LA for 10 days. Very gutted not to be out there, very jealous as she is somewhere I would love to be and more then anything, missing her loads and loads. I can’t wait for her to come back. I’m currently trying to organise our anniversary, which is making my head hurt. I thought I had found the perfect plan, but it worked out just a tad too expensive *sad face* but hopefully I’ll work something out that she will be happy with.

I think that’s about it for now. I also start writing these with the intention of making them nice and long, but then I can’t think of anything haha.

Anyways, peace out

Hello everyone

I am at Abi’s today (and tomorrow) and going to my mate David’s on Monday until Wednesday so don’t expect too much in the way of updates over the next few weeks. I think it’s only fair I spend my time with my girlfriend and mates for a bit. Also, I have forgotten to bring my iPhone plug (like a plonker) so I’m a bit limited to how much I can use Twitter. Might have to buy a new plug tomorrow…

Also, I didn’t get the Digital Designer job I was after, it went to someone with more experience, which is a fair shout I guess. The team itself is only about 5 months old so they are looking to build the back bone of it, which requires experience. They did say that I had done very well in the test, proving my strong technical skills, and that they feel my skills would be an excellent asset for the team. So I’ve booked in some time with the people that did the interview to get some detailed feedback (at their suggestion) and will apply again next time a role becomes available.

On a more fun note, me and Abi went in to town earlier to spend some of her money. I spent a bit of mine on some Marvel Civil War books, adding to my building collection. We had a bit of a chat which was essentially me explaining the interlinking between the current and future marvel films (leading up to the Avengers movie) and things that happen in the comics. I also saw some hi-top DC’s which I liked in JD sports but they were £60 (even though they are only £40 online!) which was a bit too much for me to be spending.

Anyways, I’m gonna go now. Abi asked me to wake her up after an hour, but it’s been almost an hour and a half. She was really sleepy so I wanted her to get some rest.
