Ive added the “Xmas Update” Below the last 2 entries. Its mad how big a deal everyone makes of it, then in the blink of an eye its gone. And totally forgotten about until about november. I noticed asda had easter stuff in already, its pure madness.

Id love to live in a society of people that hunt for food, sleep under little shacks, or even under the stars. And all just chill out and live your life. No bills, no worries. Ahh.. I was watching a program about some people like that in Tanzania, or somewhere like that. And they were amongst the last few hunter-gatherer type people left on the planet. They hunted for food, openly shared their catches with nearby tribe members. There was no hostility. No danger. Just people living their lives and taking just enough from the surrounding areas to survive. No more. – And they are supposed to be the least civilized and most simplest people on the planet? I say they are the ones with their heads screwed on!

My back is hurting from constant slouching, so im going to bed.

Well, today seems just like another day, and xmas? Where the fuck did that thing go? – Over this last weekend, i have come to one final conclusion. I want to travel the world, before I’m too old.

I don’t really wanna go to every country, or go all around the world. But id like to visit a few places such as Hong Kong, Australia, Beijing etc. The places you only see on maps, or on TV. – And i don’t mean a lil fortnightly holiday, I’m talking 3 or 4 months.

The way i see it is that if i don’t do it soon, I’m never gonna do it. Everyone talks about traveling before they settle down. No one does it. But i will!

Nic seems fine with the idea, she would obviously come with me – i have a feeling if i went back to her in 6 months time and asked if she wanted to go, she wouldn’t want to. She seems stuck in her ways, and only wants one thing right now, and that’s a house for me and her. Now that’s all well and good, but what do you do with a house for 4 months when you go traveling round the world? – I think we need to get on the same page again.

And, i recon im gonna write my notice tongiht. – Ive never properly written one myself.. im scared! :S

Well xmas came and went like a cold, i actually had a cold, and it seemed to last longer than xmas did. It was a memorable one tho, lots of eating, presents and smiles. And one of the few that i will remember in any detail.We had xmas dinner at nic’s grans, there was just the 4 of us, as the rest of the family were dotted about all over the place. It will be strange when everyone shifts a generation, and we are hosting xmas dinners for the older and younger members of the family. Im looking forward to it though.

My birthday was brilliant, i got up lounged about a bit, and then me mum kev and nic went playing in the 2 inches of snow that had fallen. It was fantastic. My muscles were sore for days! I made a snow man, (see mini-pic, or gallery for full pic). – I even made snow angel ‘s.. Just like homer. Mmmmm snow angels..

We had a pretty good time though, and this xmas will be one of the first ones i properly remember as for the last few ive either been off my tits or recovering – No class A’s this xmas, To be honest, i have this paranoid delusion that if i have any more class a’s of any sort, it will be that One too many.. So im scared to touch anything like that now. Lol, Anyone reading this that knows my past will understand what i mean when i say i cained it for a serious length of time.. But it hasn’t damaged my brain and body too much. Hoepfullyl. 😉

With new years comes new years resolutions. One of mine is to cut down, or even stop smoking weed. Not because i think its wrong, bad, illegal, dirty, a gateway to other drugs or any of the other things that people say come’s with smoking cannabis, simply because i need to save for things that cost lots of money. Me and nic hope to move out soon, and we all know what sort of expenses come with funding accommodation. And with my track record with luck, no doubt everything will go wrong. But hey ho, such is life.

And, I think i want to travel a shit load in the next few years. There are loads of places i want to go, and probably wont go to unless o do it at an early age. I cant help think ill be another one of them people that “Wanted to travel the world, but never got round to it” – If there’s any of you out there then give me some moral support at least! 🙂

Well, what a busy few days! My copy of GTA San Andreas that I had been downloading to try  (and the purchase afterwards of course) finished downloading, so i was eager to play. But I was stumped as to what to use to get it running. From what I could gather, I had to write the contents to a DVD and run that. Pfft, fuck that.

So I started looking for things to run ISO files (disk image) without actually burning a CD. And i found “Virtual DAEMON Manager”. Its a brilliant application, that allows you to “mount” the image as a drive, and run it like a CD/DVD! As soon as I mounted the file, it auto started just like a cd would. And in “My Computer”, i had another drive, a virtual CD drive!

I got it installed, but could I fuck get the game to run! There was a problem with the sound card, and that was stopping my from loading the game. So I reinstalled windows, formatted and all the works.. Now this pc runs a lot better, and the game now runs too! Oh yeah, i had 3 pairs of trainers delivered yesterday. Im like a kid in a candy shop! OhhhOoooooooooo 🙂

So, I’m off to go play GTA once more this year at MMX3.. Cos we break up at lunch time!!
