Officially! I cant be arsed to do, anything! I have been sat staring at this “Write Post” screen of my blog, for about 2 hours. Not only do i feel boring right now, i also feel tired as fuck which is not helping me concentrate. I shouldnt be tired tho really, i have been getting the right amount of sleep, more than usual – yet im still struggling to get out of bed in a morning.

Me and wardo did nothing but mong out and watch CSI last night. It was ace, cos id not seen any of them – even though i had borrowed the DVD off wiggy about 4 months ago. I had some steak defrosted that i cooked, whilst wardo did some chips. It was much better than our previous attempts. Im stll cooking my steaks too long though, it was brown all the way thru! Boohoo! My dad always used to say “Rip its horns out n wipe its ass” – As he like his steak VERY rare. I like it rare too, but not so its still blue and cold in the middle.

We took the door of our kitchen too, as it is so annoying. But now i got thinkin that we might actually need it on to keep the cooking smells and noises in the kitchen. Also, is it like a fire hazard to not have a door on your kitchen? God knows.. It feels about twice as big now though, as the door got in the way so much.

Its our wednesday meeting tongiht. Wednesdays always used to mean scott would come pick me up, we’d go down have a few joints and chill with the crew. Now scott and fi are loved up, and my situation is forever changing  – wednesdays just aint the same anymore! I suppose change is good though. Even though i feel myself drifting away from people who were previously very good mates.

Looking back a month ago, i was so stuck in my ways. Every week was the same, id do the same things every night. It was so fucking boring. And in a month, its all changed.. I still cant get my head round it sometimes. There is just one piece of the puzzle thats left to settle, and hopefully i can sort that out tonight. if i can, then ill be the happiest person on the frickin planet 🙂

Ok, so far, my blog has ended relationships, caused arguments between friends, and has generally been a pain in the arse in regards my life. But… I keep on writing. I have thought about stopping a lot of times. I have thought about censoring this blog a lot, and having another secret one that only i know about to talk to myself about realy personal things. I have also looked into anonymous blogging, but that seems to be a wash with fucked up peaodophiles, and i try and stay as far away from fucked up weirdos like that as possible! Even on the internet! So i thught fuck it, and decided to carry on spilling my heart out to the world, for everyone to read.

I often wonder who reads my blog too, Random people? Old school mates? Current friends? Ex girlfriends? Who knows.. id like everyone who may be reading this, to post a little comment so i know your there. if you dont its no bother, i just wanna know whos keeping tabs!

A lady rang dave today, about a charity Itallian Job type event, to raise money for the NCH, the children’s charity..

“This year’s rally starts off in Venice, and travels through the picturesque landscape of Northern Italy eventually arriving in Turin. The ‘job’ takes place over 6 days (27th October to 2nd November 2006) with up to 200 like minded ‘jobbers’ getting lost and having about as much fun in a mini as is possible.

Enter with a mate, your Mum or a colleague and enjoy the scenery, food, wine and all that the fabulous Emilia-Romagne region has to offer. All you need is a mini (classic or new) or any other classic car featured in the original film.

Entrants are asked to try and raise £1500 per team of 2, both NCH and The Italian Job work closely with all entrants to help you fundraise and support you whilst on the job. In addition to this there’s a £500 entry fee per team and general expenses such as food and accommodation.

Each year a fantastic amount of money is raised through fundraising activities, events and sponsorship for NCH including the sale of raffle tickets with the chance to win a New Mini, selling advertising space on the Mini’s involved and attending various Mini events across the UK.

Since the event began 17 years ago almost £2 million has been raised for various children’s charities and almost £1 million of this has come to NCH. These funds have helped NCH to continue as the leading provider in the UK of services for disabled children and their families, children’s services in rural areas, family and community centres and services for young people leaving care.

If you like the sound of a fun packed adventure through the spectacular terrain of northern Italy in one of Britain’s best loved and iconic cars for please visit www.italianjob.com or call Marie on 01773 541525″

We’ll probably end up doing it to be honest, as we like raising money for charities, and a trip round italy in a mini sounds COOL! I wonder if my mother would lend me hers?

Anyway, half way through the email i noticed my name mentioned…

“Think about it….. Oh and Ollie, according to his blog should really come along to the singles ball – cant guarantee they’ll be any randy mares with spliffs but you never know !”

Ahahaha.. so a random lady from some random charity has read my blog! Random! I dont mind at all, it just stunned me when i read it. I forget sometimes at how freely available this site is, and that just by reading it – people ive never met or even spoke to can know me better then some of my old school mates do.

Anyway, i suppose i best get this stufff pressed out for Optickleer. My back is really hurting. Could this be the serotonin depletion that i have dreaded for so long, catching up with me? Oh bugger..

New theme AGAIN for the 4th time today, i have added my eyes at the top, and i think its simplicity and pretty cool layout will mean it stays for a bit.

Peace out.

I can never leave the layout of my wordpress blog alone. I love finding out new themes, and trying them out. I find many are not made very well, or at least they are not made for someone who likes to write, but for someone who likes to have a nice looking blog. I found this one whilst scouring google for theme sites i had not yet been on. It gets harder and harder to find cool themes, i should really record the sites i use – so that i can go back and check on them in the future. Im quite liking this one though, its got a new-ish feel to it, and its easy on the eye. So i recon ill stick with it for a bit.

I didnt do much last night, i tidyed my room, and watched “The Business” on DVD that i borrowed from tony. Its a really good film actually, very similar to other films if im honest, but deffo worth a watch. Just as i put it on, wiggy, laura and sammie came to my house to steal DVD’s. Laura needs to expand her film knowledge as it appears shes hardly watched any! How have you managed to survive this long? Films are like, a MAJOR part of my life! I love them! After they had gone i sat and watched it right to the end, then hit the sack.

I actually remember some of my dream too, although it was basically me in the film i had watched earlier. So it wasnt like my brain had made some awesome story up. Even my brain is lazy!

Me and wardo have decided on a sum of cash that we are gonna put away each week. Its about £25 more a week than what i was paying at daz’s, but thats nothing. Especially when we both have a full run of the house, no one moaning at us, and are both really happy.

A while back, i mentioned that something is gonna go wrong soon. Well it hasnt, yet. But i still think it will. Ive had far too much good karma over this last month, its almost been all too good to be true. Its the same for wardo too, i think. Hes moved out of his mums, to where most of his mates are, has got a girlfriend which he is crazy about, and is generally a happy dude. I guess the bad karma backlash could of been the £125 phone bill i got thrown at me, or when our bills come through, we might find that we cant afford them and i have to eat into my ISA. I suppose its nothing compared to the leaps and bounds in which my life has progressed this last month. Ah fuck it, im happier than ive been in months, and i couldnt give a fuck if i had to wipe my ISA out, it would all be worth it.

I have been doing loads of IT work at MMX3 this last week or so, today i am trying to configure a printer on the network. Back in’t day i used software called JetAdmin, but that has been superseded by  Web JetAdmin, which seems to work.. but now i cant find the drivers for the printer i need. Well i can find them, but i have to sign up to HP site – which i did, but it doesnt seem to work. Ahh the life of a techie. Ill have it cracked and working in a hour or so.

I had friday off, to sort out the change of address shit for all my personal things like banks etc. Then after that, and a quick stop off at my dads, i went up to sheldons to get some photos of all his stuff he wanted to put on ebay. I took a million photos then headed back to mine with sheldon, to drink beer and do what blokes do on a friday night.

I then went to bed, and had to be up for 7am to be at work for 8. 12 hours of serious boredom, and starvation (i NEVER take enough food) and GOD DAMM im sick of watching the same fucking videos i have on my laptop, over and over again! I must remember to update them next time scott comes round!

Saturday night looked to be another night at home bored, but then dave rang me telling me i was going out, and that we were gonna have a mad one! Going out two saturdays on the trot was not usually my bag, but i couldnt be arsed to sit at home and be a bore. So it was on!

I got home, and wardo and wiggy were downstairs waiting for me, i was well happy they had waited for me to finish work! Shit shower and shaved, no wait.. i didnt shave i must do that soon *mental note* – Anyway, we were out by about 9:30, and on it even before we’d left. We started with a few bevvys at home, and in the car on the way down. Wiggy was being his usual boring (ill not drink, and ill drive) self! Wiggy – NEXT TIME IF YOUR NOT DRINKING IM GOING TO SPIKE YOUR DRINKS WITH JD! We nearly got pulled on the way down, which was hilarious at the time. We got into town and headed straight for 53 degrees. We met a few others in there, and the night just got better and better. Dave and stu tried to breakdance again, but it wasnt as good as last week. We then went to flanigans i think.. err.. its all a bit hazy after that. I drink far too much JD and coke when i go out, then it catches up with me later on!

Im pretty sure we ended up in coyotes, then liquid, or was it coyotes, flanigans THEN liquid? God knows.. Liquid was ace apart from when i was chatting to some girl, and turned round to be greeted with a face full of stu’s nob. No, really.. Im gonna shit in one of his shoes when hes at some house passed out one time. Mark my words stu, this aint over mother fucker! hah! By this stage i was fucking wasted, so we headed home and had to grab a taxi as wiggy had gone home. I love being cheeky i do. I knocked on a taxi window, “Taxi for olly?” i said, knowing full well i haddnt ordered shit. He radio’d in to confirm if i had one, they replied with a price and he signaled to get in. It was great, there was even some drunk bitch on the other side trying the same. Maybe its cos i have a large beard, and look like some kind of terrorist? Either way we were on our way home within minutes. Got home and.. well.. thats for me to know and you to imagine! 😛

Anyway, it was again one of the best nights ever, but for totally different reasons to the night last week. It was a totally different night in fact.. But it was still great. I eventually got to sleep at about 5, and was up at 7 to do antoher 12 hour shift. Boohoo!

I got on site, and about passed out for a few hours. I somehow managed to last till about 2:30pm, on only 4 slices of bread left by dave (hworang) as i had totally forgotten to bring food and drink with me. I didnt even realise what teeshirt i had on until about 3:00pm and by then I had been there 7 hours! Dave came up, and was followed by chris from donny cruise. Hes one sound guy he is, got a lot of cash but isnt a cunt about it. I think its cos hes worked hard for it, and tbh he deserves every penny.

The last patrol of my shift finished at 07:30pm, and i collected my things together, and headed down towards the gate to wait for my lift. I heard an alarm. Oh shit. I legged it down to the other side of the building site, and dave (hworang) was there (he was taking over from me on site) and he ran over and said “they’ve robbed the TV mate” so we ran round to the front of the building and the door had been completely smashed open, there was glass and bits of wood everywhere, and the 52″ plasma screen TV that had been stuck onto the wall with what looked like no-more-nails was gone. Vanished. No sign of anyone running away, no sign of anything. I rang the police and eventually managed to describe to the location where i was at (new development, therefore not on maps etc) and about 5 mins later a copper arrived and assessed the situation. A dog unit was on the way to see if they could pick up a scent of the burglar, the very clever doggy managed to find the direction of where he went but lost the trail when he got to the nearby road.

I was crapping myself, i know that the security business is a tough one, and that a fuck up like this could mean lost contracts, and therefore no work.. Which would probably mean the closure of the company. But, i had done everything by the book, filled all my sheets in correctly, AND my boss had previously told them that it WOULD be targeted as its far too “on show” and easy to access. Now because my boss had covered his back, we are not held responsible for it. Thank god!

We eventually got on our way home, and duncan decided to go the motorway route. BIG mistake, from J27 to J29 there was a permanent car park. traffic crawling along, and it must of taken us about 25 mins, if not longer to actually get ONE junction on the M1. Nice one duncan! I got in, changed my coat, and headed straight back out again. Up to stags for LSOM. The bulk of people had elft by the time i got there, i think there was some street racing happening somewhere, so  the usual maxxd regulars were still there. I chatted to a few people, watched stu try and breakdance again, then watched everyone lighting their exhaust gasses with a blow torch.. Flaming exhausts rule! then i jsut had ot go home as i was absolutely bolloxed! I got home and tidied up a bit, then hit the sack for 9.5 hours of uninterrupted sleep.

And boy did i sleep! I was very nearly late for work, and even now at 01:32pm im still totally nackered.Things are really looking up for me and dave. Im gonna have friday off every week until i leave, and go up to the office with dave. We can get the ball rolling with our directory, and hopefully that and the 4 million other things we have to do will earn us a half decent wage.

This time next year rodders…
