Another week has flown by. I have spoken to mark and my last official day at mini marquees is the 20th of december. After then its Maxxd all the way! Im very excited about working on something i enjoy and love so much, but there are a few things that are hanging over me that im not exactly jumping for joy over, im not gonna go into detail about them because they are things i have to discuss with him, not the world. 😉
I have been looking at desks for our office, and chairs, and other random bits and bobs – and its not until times like that, that it actually hits you! We are going to be runing our own company, and that is the only income we will have. We will be supporting ourselves, and working for our benifit only.

I guess thats one of the things that winds me up most about working for someone else, i just see me filling someone elses pockets with gold, and mine with bronze. I want the gold now thanks. 🙂

Someone mentioned to me today that i might be diabetic, as i am always tired. But does that mean i wouldnt be allowed to eat chocolate? Or i would have to eat chocolate? Cos i cant live witout gold bars and mars drinks! if it means i cant eat chocolate then it looks like ill have to just plod along. If i get to eat lots more then i might go get my doctor to check me out haha.

I think me and gemma are gonna pop out tonight, and go to the cinema or something. We are getting on so well, shes everything i could want in a partner. I asked myself a question when i was with my last long term girlfriend, and the answer to that question was a definate NO. I asked myself that same question at this stage of my relationship with gemma, and the answer is a yes. And its not even something i have to think about, just yes. 🙂 The question is kinda obvious, to people that are long term readers of my blog.

Anyway its the weekend soon, and i have to work tomorrow, then LSOM on sunday. Im sick of not having weekends, but from now on im probably not gonna have many of them. Unless me and dave jsut put the hours in during the week instead. Either way the future is bright. The future is maxxd.

I just wish our members could see that dave and myself are doing this for their benifits as well. I guess we’ll of ruffled a few feathers, and might lose a few members, but they need to take the stick out their asses and let me and dave do what we want to a website that we own, pay for and run. The site would be nothing without the memebrs, but it would be a whole lot less without us two. If any of you are reading this, just let us do what we got to do, alright? Stop with the mardyness, and get on with your lives. Maxxd will always be here and if we got anything to do wtih it wil just get bettter and better from now on.

Ah well, i guess you cant please everyone.

haha.. i havent blogged in ages, so im gonna make this one as full as possible. My head has been a right shed as of late, ive had so many things on my mind, so many things to sort out and so many things to arrange its all been a bit too much. I guess this is what self employed life is like, constanly stressing about making ends meet, and worrying if im gonna afford food to eat (i didnt make that rhyme on purpous 😛 honest..) but to be honest its a lot more satisfying than just sitting here wasitng my life.

I thought last weekend was gonna be my last security shifts, but i have to work again this weekend. The site i was at last weekend was in notts, and there was supposed to be some mad open day on the sunday so i prepared for that and sat in my car near the gate most of the day – whereas usually i sit in the canteen watching films, and doing my patrols every hour. I still watched some films, but in segments so i could still do my actual job in case i was checked on.

Im at bleinheim this weekend but only for the saturday. Its LSOM on sunday and we are raising money for charity (nch) so i need to be there about half 5ish to make sure everyhting is set up right.

im glad that part of my life is drawing to a close (security) as its just not suited to me any more. I cant sit there for 12 horus at a time when i know there is things i need to do. I see it as a waste of my life 12 hours at a time. 1 more to go tho, hopefully!

Me and dave seem to be doing ok, things are progressing quite well, and the not too distant future – although it seems riddled with obstacles and set backs – looks bright. Just a few things to sort then there is no stopping us. I just wish we had the support of all of the maxxd members.

From time to time, and suprisingly only when we look to be making money, we get the impression of tension on the forums. Certain members/staff seem to snap, and post messages that are almost trying to spark an argument. I dont know why they just cant let us do what we need to do to continue to provide them WITH A FREEE FUCKING SITE TO USE FOREVER AND EVER. I mean, its not as if me or dave EVER get thanked for putting the site there, for paying month after month for the benifit of others, and dedicating our lives to something we have only JUST started benifiting from. I can see why so many sites come and go, cos it really disheartens you when all you get is shit from people who are supposed to be your friends.

The members on my superstar site regulary thank me for puttin the site there, and proving a nice place for them to chat and share their common interest, is there something different with car modders that means they are incapable of saying thank you?

Anyway, fuck all that shit.. Heres a bit of fun for Fee, HSB and any other hip hop fan who may be reading this.. name the song and artist! Dont use google, unless its to confirm a song.. i.e. dont google the lyrics! CHEATERS!

Hip Hop Quiz!

1) Man I got evidence I’m never dense and I been clever ever since, My residence was hesitant to do some shit that represents the M-O..2) Yippy yippy yay yippy ya yippy yoh, Like Deck said this aint your average flow

3) Fuck an acid tab I’ll strap the whole sheet to my forehead, Wait until it absorbed in and fell to the floor dead

4) Stay wit’ the rats ‘cuz the rats is real, Wanna fuck? Then we fuck already know the deal

5) I had a Long John but no Silver, No gold or plat, I was simply red from the years I been holdin’ back

6) funny with the money oh you got me mistaken honey

7) I would trade my life for yours, behind closed doors, the only girl that I adore, everything I’m askin for

8) Being low down I do the showdown wit’ any little ho round, no!

9) Who made these rules? We’re so confused, Easily led astray.

10) And then we’d hit the corner store for Roots, paper, and brew.

11) hear me talkin bout checkbooks, credit cards, more money than a sucker could ever spend

12) C-A-O lime will make bleach powder, Galvanic metal beats stomp out louder

13) Hope you niggas know we comin’ through full steam, Can’t see you better turn on your high beam

14) The simplest of tasks, just dont come out right, Im losing the faith, and simply losing the fight

15) Lames hide your wallets hatin broads clutch your purses tight

To be fair, to a true hip hop fan this should be easy. There is one red herring in there, see if you can tell me which one it is – and why its a red herring 😛

EMAIL me answers to : olstar[at]gmail[dot]com – as comments are published straight away, and you dont want to gie answers to anyone else do ya 😉

Good Luck!

God damm time is flying. It doenst seem like it should be friday, but it is. I wish i wasnt at work tomorrow, but i am. I suppose its my last weekend EVER doing security tho. So thats food for thought. Its quite ironic, i havent yet recieved my SIA licence, and ive already finished working for the company. haha.. i guess i can use it as photographic ID instead of my driving licence from time to time.

Gem is coming to my house tongiht, and i think we are having a night in. I am feeling realy tired at the moment, i hope im not coming down with something? It feels like my body has been trying to be ill for weeks now, but its not quite managed to break through. It just grinds me down and makes me tired instead.

Hopefully when i get home tonight, i should have the new log books and tax disks for my cars – so i can put the plate on my golf, and finally get rid of the clio. Its doing my head in now, i want the £300 to pay a few debts off etc, and to buy some wheels. Yet the wankers at the dvla just plod along and do things at their own speed. People sit and wait for you bastards to process things, and mail them out. For the amount of money you charge, you should at least get things done and sent out as quickly as possible, you bunch of disorganised arseholes!

/rant off

😆 im going now, as its nearly 5pm. I doubt ill get on net over the weekend, so until monday – ttfn!

Anty, jim and freddo have been dead now for over a month. Billy was thought to be the only remaining alive ant in the ant house, but over the last few days we have noticed that digger is still alive and kicking. It’s mad to think these two little guys have lived for over 2 months in the confined space of the Ant House.

This is the most recent picture of the ant house, and you can see digger in his tunnel hard at work. Billy tends to wander about trying to find stuff he can sell on eBay – as ants cant have jobs can they! The progression of the ant house inhabitants will continue in another blog post.

I had a call from my bank about some loan review or something. I have had the loan for about 4 years, and ive never had a review before so i wandered down to see what they were on about. I think im gonna borrow a little bit extra, which means i wont be debt free as soon as i had hoped, but to be honest my lifetime plans have changed considerably since meeting a certain someone. Having a bit of extra cash means i can tie up loose ends, pay off little debts and have money to spend at xmas.

I swore id never get any loans or finance again, but this isn’t a new loan its a slight extension of my existing one 😛 Anyway i may need to bail myself out of shit if things dont take off as me and dave have planned.

Its becoming increasingly harder to make myself look busy at MMX3. I really am running out of ways to waste time. I have actually started writing guides for everyhitng, cleaning printers, ordering paper, so that the new chap can refer to them if he’s stuck at any time. But like craig said im always on the end of a phone.

Its gettin quite exciting now. I had to tell someone that i was self employed today – for the first time ever! it felt great and when she mentioned things like “well, when your business takes off….”  a smile was brought to my face. 😀
The maxxd dreams are becoming reality.
