Dreams of an old life
I always become hugely inconsistent with my blogging habits towards the end of the month. It's a bad thing.

Know what else is a bad thing? Amazon.co.uk, that's what! It just stole a TON of money from me. They emailed me to say they're gonna send me a bunch of CDs in exchange, but I mean, come on! What's that you say Amazon? I can even choose the CDs I want to receive? Well, I still don't think it's fair that you want money for them....but I did get a pretty spectacular pay last week...

MC Lars tweeted me a few hours ago. Pretty big moment in my life to be honest! I had earlier tweeted about being not sure about going to see him next week. I won't go into details, but I'm now thinking I will. What a legend he is.

Been having a few bad dreams recently about some people from an old life. Not too nice. The worst thing is waking up and thinking about them for the next few hours. It's a really unpleasant way to start the day. Plus, it makes me think about things like, do I need some sort of closure or something? I can't explain it very well. I mean, I'm totally over all that, but when I dream about that sort of thing, I wonder to myself, have I really, properly moved on? Ah, who knows? I know there's only a couple of ways to solve the problem, and I know which one I'm opting for (not my Dexter-esque one, as previously blogged about!!)

Tomorrow, I WILL go to the gym!!
5 Day Catch Up!
No blog for five days?! Criminal I say!!

Shutter Island was a gooood film!! It's one of those films where two people could have a completely different idea about what exactly happened in it. That perhaps sounds kinda stupid, but it's true.
Also, 24 FINALLY got kinda good. I think that happened at the 11am-12pm episode, so it's definitely a slow starter!! FYI it started at midnight and each new episode represents another hour of the day.

What else has been happening? Man United beat Liverpool today while Chelsea drew with Blackburn, so that was doubly great. Park Ji-Sung scored the winner for United, so I will share my favourite United chant, about the South Korean, to the tune of Lord of the Dance:

Park, Park, Wherever you may be,
You eat dogs in your home country,
But it could be worse,
You could be a Scouse,
Eating rats in your council house.

Sheer poetry, I'm sure you'll agree.

The last few days have contained work, filling out various forms and job applications, oddly bizarre and sexual dreams (sorry...you know who you are!), going out for a meal as a joint celebration of mother's day and my dad's birthday (I had a haggis starter, haddock main, and a heavenly toasted gingerbread with vanilla ice cream and butterscotch sauce dessert).

Talking about that epic dessert reminds me; you might remember that diet thing I mentioned about a month ago. Well, at the moment, I can't get to the gym as much, but only because I'm doing longer hours which means a lot more walking....so it kind of balances out. Anyway, all my jeans keep falling down on me....which is sorta annoying, but it does mean I've lost weight. Which is good. Obviously. It does mean I now need new jeans though....unless I start using a belt all the time....which I'm not used to. I digress.

One day of work, then two off. Bring it!
My First Blog
Hello, and welcome to my blog!

I doubt this will be a daily thing, because frankly, some days I have very little to talk about, but I guess I will try to do so.


First of all, I genuinely want to thank, and apologise to, my friends. 2009 was easily the worst year of my life. I'm sorry for being a depressed pain in the ass for the latter half of it. But on the flip side, thank you for putting up with me and supporting me. Even in the smallest way. It meant a lot.


It's now 2010. I genuinely feel so different. In the past week or so, I have actually felt a sincere level of happiness that I haven't for a long time. In some ways, I haven't felt this way for at least 7 years. Right now my hopes and aspirations for 2010 are plentiful. And perhaps slightly stupid and unrealistic, but hey, I'm gonna give it my best shot.


Today is my day off. Yussss. Another 4 day weekend. Gotta love it. My phone is switched off. I'm rather sick of being asked to work at the last minute. So I'm sorry to anyone trying to get in touch with me.


I think, already, I have had more dreams in 2010 than the whole of 2009. Just about crazy stuff, like repairing a Ferris wheel and having my heroes analysing my CD collection.


Talking of music, I'm going to try to include a song on this page by Jack's Mannequin. I first heard of Jack's Mannequin years and years ago, but I only heard some of their material in late 2008. In 2009 I managed to see them live twice. The first time, myself and Laura travelled all the way to Manchester, just to see them. It was genuinely beautiful. The Manchester Academy 3 is a tiny venue, with no security guards. The performers are literally within touching distance. As you can see from the picture. It was pretty surreal, and one of my favourite concerts ever. Andrew McMahon is one of my favourite artists of all time. His lyrics are, at times, breathtaking. Anyway, the song I will have hopefully embedded, really moves me. I think it's a really inspirational song, and with the way he manipulates the music, you can practically hear the waves crashing against the shore.
I could actually talk about Andrew and Jack's Mannequin for ages, but I will try not to bore you in my first blog!!

Right folks, I am going to leave it at that, and try to do something productive with my day off!!

Thanks for reading.
