I really had nothing.   I was looking at a document and have been for nearly two hours and I just couldn't motivate myself to condense a single, overly-wordy paragraph down into a concise bulletpoint.  I don't know what to do.  I would like to say it was never like this but it occurs to me that the periods of time where I worked hard in my life ( Read more... )

I was going through my MP3s and clicked on "Superthug" by Noreaga. Strange how it was far better in my memory.

Yes, my promises to blog before were empty. However, blogging to me is something I want to do when I feel I need to do it. My friend Iain, who once described my blog as the blog equivalent of the Joy Division, didn't seem to understand that I almost feel certain posts need to be written to somewhat openly discuss something with friends. People ( Read more... )

It's Saturday evening and I spent much of the day bumming around, doing very little. I realised I haven't blogged here in around 10 months. I keep meaning to sync this up with the tiny number of posts I make over on Myspace but I haven't. So, what has happened?

• Last May, I was beaten up in Bromley. I don't have any physical scars but I ( Read more... )

With my head full of idealism about how football was and should be, I took my half-finished book, my passport, some clothes and myself to East Croydon station last Saturday to start my journey to Dortmund. A sparsely-filled First Capital Connect train took me into the City and then North, through the Hertfordshire countryside. The journey was ( Read more... )

This post has been weeks in the making. I am not kidding. It also runs up to last Friday-ish.

MUSIC: As some may know, I've been going to see a band named Found On Vincent Ward for some time. It was over eighteen months ago now that I met up with them, talking about joining their band but they stayed as a four-piece. Last May, I went to a ( Read more... )

Note: No real confessions here, just seemed as random a collection of things as the "Weird Al" song of the same name.

WRESTLING: I used to be wrestling crazy. Most who read this will already know this. Most of you are probably still wrestling fans or I know you via wrestling. In mid-2002, I totally lost interest in wrestling of any kind ( Read more... )

This was actually going to be the first post of the bunch but a week's perspective changed this post considerably.

DIET: I decided to go on a diet. On the 20th of January I was 15 1/2 stone, which is about 28lbs obese according to the BMI. I told my family and immediately my mum just suggests the same old shit. Mum’s wisdom consisted of " ( Read more... )

I was ill so I came home, wrapped up warm and wrote this entry.

GERMANY: I decided that this year I was going to do some of the things I want to do. Rather than wait around and make plans with people, I'll go to places and find my own way. Apparently it's better to go travelling on your own. In that vein, around the 20th of January, I ( Read more... )

I really should update my blog as I go.

JOB: After my extensive festive break, spanning before christmas to the new year, I returned to work. In the last month, we've started on the new system project and that's the only change we had until this week. As there had been a management reshuffle, a new person has been sat on the desk in front of ( Read more... )
