  • Days off, and mars drinks..

    People that know me, know that i have a few addictions. One is adidas sneakers, one is smoking and one is mars drinks. I love them. I cannot get enough of the liquid mars bar drink! Cos they taste so much like the bars its untrue.. Any other chocolate milk drink (and trust me, ive tried them all) is not even anywhere near the standard of these. Them cadburys ones are lush, so are the galaxy ones.. But NOTHING beats a mars drink. If you have never had one, go get one.. NOW!

    Tomorrow, i have the day off. Im really looking forward to it actually, a nice lie in, a lazy day, and i get to mow our lawn as its gettin a bit too long. I saw my dad in asda at lunch time, and he’s gonna come round tomorrow with his lawn mower. Rock on!

    Things are still going great, piece by piece things are falling into place, and hopefully soon the puzzle will be complete. If you’d of asked me what i thought id be doing and where id be living now, 6 months ago, id of probably wouldnt of expected any of my life to of changed, never mind all of it!

    Im just gettin a bit bummed about my cars. I want to sell my clio but i really need a car now due to living further away from work. And i really wanna sort my caddy out, but now im further away from it, so it looks like im gonna end up gettin someone else to do ALL the bodywork, as i was gonna prep a lot of it myself. At this stage i dont care if it will end up costing me £2000 to get my caddy to the stage i want it at. Im just sick of it rotting away in my garage. ive had the thing since i was 18, and hardly ever used it.

    Im fucking glad i have got tomorrow off to be honest, because i dont think i could get away with doing as little as i have done this week so far, for antoher day. I bet you could of crammed all the work ive done this week, into one morning. Seriously. Its been stupidly slow.

    Gonna have a chilled ngiht tonight i think. I mgiht pop and see dave, then borrow another DVD off tony. Or i mgiht watch teh business again, as its a ret good film and ive seen most of my others 4 million times – so watching that one again is no biggy.

    Off now for a few more hours of making myself look busy. Ho hum!

  • The motivation has left the building..

    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 🙂

  • Me, my life, and blog..

    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.

  • One day ill settle..

    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.
