So my friends out and about now and walking so things are cool.
I certainly dont envy him though, but he's damn lucky.
My motorbike got stolen at the begining of the week.. Been on the phone to the insurance people non stop for the first few days, Just waiting on them getting my keys and docs then they'll be sending me my check, I still need to claim my excess back, fml It's such a ball ache not to mention the loss of freedom is crippling me.. I can no longer ride to the supermarket when ever I want to go pop over to a friends without catching a bus.. god I hate busses now.
I'm supposed to go to a music festival tomorrow in town.. I have to catch a bus that only goes hourly between the time of 10 and 4.. ergh.
So the suns come out, I'm enjoying icecreams, but I dont like hanging around outside for the sake of sunshine unlike every other person I know.
Side note if I didnt know better I'd swear a couple of the guys I work with are totally gay..
With all the crap going down I gave blood for the first time in 4 years.. hopefully it'll help bump my karma, it must be in the toilet with whats been going down the past couple of months.

So this year's turning into a roller coaster of epic proportions..
A close friend of mine had a fit at the top of some stairs he fell down them and broke his neck.. He's alive and he can move his feet so there's no paralysis, but fuck.. it happened a couple of days ago, he's in addenbrooks now having secondry surgery, they dont know when he'll be good to leave and he's in a halo brace but fuck.. Going to try and see him at some point.
After the last week or so when things were doing really well it's a bit of a kick to the stomach.
To try and balance out the negative I had a really good catch up with my Dad.. haven't seen him since before Christmas.. probably back in November. We dont have a bad relationship we just could both make more of an effort so im going to try.
My sis was there and she seemed really happy she's had her braces off now too so that seems to have perked her up.
I'm going to go round his and tinker with my bike at somepoint, hopefully fix a broken fork seal, he said it's simple but he's a mechanic so would think so.. if we manage it then thats saved me £150 from a garage so score.. he also gave me a really nice socket set because he knew I needed one.
I'm glad we're texting more, it was bugging me last year that we didnt have more of a relationship.
Then later that weekend Nick and I went on a 5 mile charity walk for arthritis research, a friend of mine set up the whole event, turned out really well and a fair amount of money was raised.. me and my friend nick got our faces painted with the children.. The weather was perfect for it so It was a nice way to spend an afternoon.
Nick really is one creepy ass clown.. I dont know how the kids werent crying..
So yeah yet another mixed bag of a week pfft.
Oh on a side note.. DIABLO 3 IS FUCKING AMAZING.. everything I was hoping it would be, I've got a level 39 monk working through nightmare mode..
Had this pumping out at work yesterday.. It amazing me how much we get away with at work
I've already had a good weekend and I've still got a bank holiday monday to go.. this is good.
After all the drama and ballache of the past week or so got completely wiped yesturday as I was able to let my hair down.
I went with a few guys to see the Avengers, brilliant film, Joss Whedon did well, I'm glad it was more firefly than it was angel.. I wont lie I had worries he might Micheal Bay it but no it was really good and didnt at all seem like a two and a half hour film!
we even hit the DDR machines whilst we waited
We had a bday meal for one of my close friends at work over in grantham it was at a really nice pub but another one of my work mates was giving me a lift there and picking up a couple of others on the way.. halfway there though he realises he needs to pick up petrol.. turns out theres no stations near by and we run out of petrol in the middle of no where, when the next girl we were supposed to pick up finally finds us with a jerry can, We had to push the bastard car out of the ditch because the petrol wouldn't feed into the engine.. safe to say he bought the first couple of drinks haha.
Then after the meal a few of us decided to head back to ptown and go out as I knew there were a load of people already out.. I'd already had a few drinks before getting to the club so I got very drunk very quickly..
There were so many people out that I hadn't seen in ages it was a very good night..
There's literally like a couple of hundred pictures from that night I'll have fun looking through later but heres a few that essentially summed up the night
it was much needed.. I feel a lot lighter.. Specially after my sister Ems and I had a heart to heart and spoke for a while, plus the girl who got clingy to fast started with the passive agressive facebook statuses and now is trying to make me jealous too soooo thats kind of wiped the slate as in I dont worry if shes ok now.. I guess she did me a favour lol.
anyway lifes already getting better, good times and tomorrow Im going round a friends we're going to geek it up and paint little models and order take out and it'll be fucking gangsta.
Peace. lol

Warning! this is a moany venting blog, if you dont want a downer dont read it..
Ergh so I feel like a massive dick..
I cooled it off with the girl I met a few weeks ago, she turned out to go hard and fast into wanting a relationship..
She wanted me to stay with her at her familys this weekend.. I've been on two dates with her.. I'm not wrong in thinking this was a little wierd?
I told her from the begining that I was just out of a relationship and although I wasn't completely anti relationship I'd need to take baby steps.. and that was before work became dirt stressfull (thats solved now though)..
My sister also tried to kill herself last week... I've only spoken to a few people about this, it was 2am and she just came downstairs crying saying she'd done something stupid.. My mum was 4 hours away in cardiff after her telling me she'd taken a whole box of some stupidly powerfull painkillers I forced her to drink water untill she vomited as we waited for an ambulance.. she couldn't put her fingers down her throat..
We got her to hospital in time and they released her 8 hours later after feeding her charcoal and doing tests then making her see a psyc.. I called my mum after the first 3 hours when the testing came back saying she was going to be ok.. I didnt want mum driving for 4 hours worrying about the worst untill I knew if it was or wasnt going to happen..
Either way this is been playing on my mind (obviously) and on top of this new girl becoming overly dependant on me she's blaitently depressed i see the signs I've been there with an old gf before.. I wish I could help her, but she's seeing a doctor and In the emotional state im in I can barely help myself..
Still she text me saying she was fed up of guys using her and that I'd only wanted one thing.. she later admitted she knew I didnt want one thing and that if I needed space she'd give me it..
This is all a massive pile of crazy for someone I've only known 3 weeks wtf..
I feel better for writing all this.. only some peeps at work know whats going on with her and only a couple know about my sister..
I still dont trust her completely.. I know it was a stupid cry for help otherwise the docs wouldnt have let her out or she wouldnt have come downstairs.. I would've just found her dead.. and that's the scary thing I dont want that to happen.. she seemed perfectly happy before that happened.
I now hate her ex boyfriend who's a scyzophrenic ex junky.. apparently he's been fucking her about... this makes me worry about the girl I cooled it off with.. I know it's overkill but what if she reacts badly to me cooling things??
Not my responsabillity I suppose.. or is that just a rationalisation?
Fuck knows.. the gyms been helping me feel better.. and might treat myself to something off of lovehoney as well lol

So for the past week or so I've worked on a couple of sets for the lovely Lavezzaro she's got mad photography skills and I've had fun 'shoppin for her.. check out her stuff.
Here's a teaser of what to expect..
So yeah apart from that I've had a pretty chilled weekend, Got over the last of that headcold I had, tinkered a bit with the bike.. need to give it an oilchange some point this week I'll probably give it a full service as I want her running in tip top condition, I don't know if I could bear to go back to public transport without her :S
I also caught up with a friend who I haven't spoke to in a while which was nice, we went to costa and I swear I've developed a bit of an addiction to thier toffee coolers.. it tastes just like melted toffee icecream would and they go amazingly with the apple sultana muffins, I'm not even a muffin fan normally but I seem to be spending so much there, I swear I've earnt like £4.50 worth of points on my card since new years.. it is a great place to catch up with friends though.
Oh and I made brownies for work.. Its my own recipe I call them..
DOUBLE CARAMEL DEATH BROWNIES.
because, you know it sounds cooler if you add death to it.. I dont know if it was a mistake to mix cadburys caramel nibbles with galaxy caramel chunks.. we'll see, I havent cut them up yet but they look like ass, hopefully theyll taste amazing.
as you can probably tell I've become a bit of an instagram whore as well, It was one of the few things I missed about my iphone when I jumped to the Samsung, I was chuffed when I heard it was out on android, lots of hipstery photos ftw.
Anyway hope you all had a nice weekend.
GLHF..

Ergh, Some fucker's given me the plague.. my throat is grim my eyes feel puffy and I'm all bunged up..
I'm responding in the very untypical way for a guy and completely ignoring it.. Need to buy more cold&flu though.
Saying that I think it was from the date with the pretty girl on wednesday, She told me she was just fighting off the tail end of a cold.. A gentleman doesn't kiss and tell, but if it was her, totally worth it, if it was someone from work I'm going to moan all week for sure.
So yeah the date, it went well, Im pretty sure she enjoyed herself. I think I can unshamedly say she is the hottest girl I've hooked up with.. and probably the youngest lol its only a 3 year gap the same as me and my ex but reversed.. I can understand why she thought it was a bit odd to begin with now, still 3 years in the scale of things is nothing.
I was going to gym it later but this throat thing is too much and I dont want to contaminate the entire gym with my ickyness, so I'm going to wonder into town its a nice day for a ride and pick up some things I need like some more old spice
haha, it's such a guilty pleasure but hey if it's good enough for Bruce Campbell!!
Might treat myself to one of those creamy icey drinks from costa to help sooth the throat lol.

It's bank holiday monday.. I woke up at 2.10pm its been a looong looong weekend but a fucking fun one.
So it all starts off on Thursday night, after work we had a bit of a work do, the entire studio went for drinks and it was good, everyone let their hair down, we then followed up with nandos.. I fucking love nandos, seriously if I could afford it I would eat there daily!
Anyway after the epic feed that was nandoes we went back to the local drapers arms for a few more then when it hit half nine we went to go to the only club everyone could agree upon to go out to..
Turns out it was closed so everyone went home.. I'm not complaining I saved the money and I was already pretty drunk at this point, I was happy to go home tipsy with a full content stomach.
Friday, turns into another late one but for different reasons.
Starts the day by waking up and going to go get mc donalds to help the slight hangover I somehow developed. either I'm getting old or I drank more than I thought the night before.
Later on I head round my friend Stefans, as is the regular Friday tradition,. head to his with a few others play some D&D or video games and take turns paying for take out, today was his turn to pay so he picked the local chippy, they do the best burgers I've ever had so had my second massive burger of the day (yeah fuck you healthy diet).
We go well into the early hours trying out this new game Stefs picked up called Heroscape.
The closest thing I can compare it to would be Warhammer 40k.. accept in 40k you cant have Roman Centurians fighting Cyborg Gorillas fighting Iron man fighting orks and goblins..
It was fun.
So Saturday night was the big one, My friend Sams birthday, Long story short it was a very fun very messy night out that involved a lot of people I should hang out more with, I'll have to make the effort.. It was the first time I'd seen his wife out since they had thier kid as well so it was good to see her.
They started selling coors light at the club I love coors I think its probably my favorite beer.. anyway this lead to lots of Van Damme impressions and us waddling around the club like a man penguin after mating season.. if you dont know what I'm talking about heres a treat for you..
The whole series of ads are weird but amazing, the my story one where he lost his clothes to bears.. check it out... either way it was odd drinking beer from a metal bottle.
the night was summed up with my friends housemate showing up.. and this girl is stunning! and to put it into perspective I mean so hot every time I saw her that night a different hot guy was talking to her.. I'd seen her out once before but it was briefly and we never spoke, not even sure we were ever on the same side of the club lol.
So imagine my surprise when my friend comes up to me asking if I'd got her text (I hadnt the clubs loud and I was drunk) she said she wanted to know if I was out because her housemate really fancied me..
I Instantly thought she ment her other housemate who I dont know, it takes me a minute to be like.. hang on isn't she married or engaged.. to which she replied "no not her!! you know the one with incredibly big eyes.. over there at the bar".. *MIND BLOWN*
I was geniuenly flabbergasted, that what was easily the best looking girl in the club who was pretty much surrounded by very good looking guys talking to her was apparently interested in me.. *CUE SOCIAL AWKWARDNESS*
So the night carries on a bit, my mind trying to figure out how I can start a convo with this girl, I've never done badly with girls but this is different I'm not the type to just randomly talk to a girl I dont know.. or anyone I dont know for that matter unless in a small social enviroment like a friends house.
This must be half an hour later we're all on the edge of the dancefloor, me, her, our friend and a few more mutual friends, we're all dancing and we've exchanged a few looks which have mostly been cut short by me feeling awkward as sin.
Then this guy leans over the railguard and tuggs on her sholder trying to get her attention, I found out later this wasnt the first time he'd tried it on with her, she turns round and tells him she's with friends trying to enjoy a dance and turns back around the guy grabs her again at which point her flatmate my friend whos birthday it was and myself step forward the guy realises he's pushed things a bit and stands there looking sullen.
It's at this point she looks at me and without saying anything I put my hand out she takes it and I walk her further into the packed dancefloor, she looks releived, but because it was so crowded we were forced to dance so close to each other it was pretty much grinding..l after what must've been 6-7 seconds but felt like eternity she looks up at me and smiles, I dont know what I was thinking but it must've summed up to "Fuck it" and having not said a single word to this girl so far, I leant in and kissed her.. BOOM.
Then after a while we all went outside for some fresh air and we ended up sitting there chatting for half an hour and spent the rest of the night talking/dancing/drinking untill we walked her and her housemate to the taxi ranks.. She even asked me for my number, it hadn't occured to me to ask for hers I was still shell shocked over the fact all of this was happening ha.
So yeah spent sunday hungover and texting this girl.. we might meet up during the week, I'm struggling a bit though it's been a month since my brake up, I feel like I maybe should leave more time before I start seeing people out of respect but at the same time why? I doubt im ever going to talk to her again and I dont know.. I'm trying to not over think things like I always do..
Someone needs to write a modern day dating etiquette for this kind of shit.. I'm a web designer give me some rules I know will work haha.
Hope you guys are having a good time this easter.

My week off ended on Monday, going back to work was good.
Dispite becoming nocturnal (as is the case whenever I get more than a few days off) I came into work feeling refreshed and looking forward to getting back into it.
I guess having a few days to myself and dealing with the funeral and finally getting over the whole break up thing I'm finally feeling geniuenly good and not just putting a front on.
Coming into work to find out it was a 4 day week as well as a 4 day week next week was amazing though. ha
Tomorrow night we're having a staff night out for poops and laughs.
Should be fun I a couple of the guys have becoming a couple of my closest friends in the year and a half I've known them but they both live far out so we never get to hang out of work, getting to go on a night out with them will be good times.
Also have my friends birthday on saturday so it's going to be a bit of a party weekend and you know what.. I'm looking forward to letting my hair down
Oh speaking of which I'll be getting my hair cut tomorrow too.. it's been a while and my hairdresser's moved so I have a new one called sophie :S hope she doesnt fuck my hair up, saying that I only seem to like my hair when a hairdressers just styled it.. I can never get the same style myself haha, Might try something new *shrug*
I'll keep you guys updated,
Laters.

Also have my friends birthday on saturday so it's going to be a bit of a party weekend and you know what.. I'm looking forward to letting my hair down
Oh speaking of which I'll be getting my hair cut tomorrow too.. it's been a while and my hairdresser's moved so I have a new one called sophie :S hope she doesnt fuck my hair up, saying that I only seem to like my hair when a hairdressers just styled it.. I can never get the same style myself haha, Might try something new *shrug*
I'll keep you guys updated,
Laters.
Today was the funeral..
It was really nice day for a ride so the hour and a half ride up there was totally enjoyable
It was a beautiful ceremony everyone was in tears, even though I'm not big on the christian pomp and frills, the church was amazing and everyone wore blue instead of black because that was his favorite colour.
After the actual funeral it felt really good, made things better, so when we went to the wake it was all smiles and laughs, it was our old uni gang together again telling old war stories about various nights out and things.. was really nice,
I had to leave a couple of hours before the end but I stayed long enough to catch the balloons.
There were a dozen balloons at every table with tags and pens so you could write a message and then attach it to a balloon, then everyone took the balloons outside and released them on a count of three..
Only seen a couple of the pictures but they look good..
I'm in my bike gear because I was literally about to leave when H (the guys gf) told me to wait 5 mins and she'd hurry up the ballons which was really nice of her.
I'm glad my summer jacket is blue otherwise I would've stood out like a sore thumb in the shots.
Any way, was a nice day and a fitting end for a really nice guy.. He'll be missed.

So it's Tuesday.
Since I'm working on my portfolio I thought I'd post a few examples on here, my jobs been good to me, not only do I get to watch judge judy and stuff whilst working but through my employer I've retouched images for companies such as Debenhams, Jimmy Choo, Ben Sherman, TK maxx, House of Fraser and Swarovski to name a few..

I'm stuck at an impass with my portfolio though, I was going to pick a really good domain name but only the .co.uk was available and not the .com so I hesitated for a month, then after trying to get hold of the unused but owned .com and failing hard I thought balls to it why not.. Only to find out someone had bought the .co.uk 4 days before hand -_-
Now I need a completely new domain idea, every related name seems to be taken and I cant settle on anything, it's really sapping my motivation.
Go listen to these they make my ears happy.
Earthquake - Allstars remix
&
Contact (Trolley Snatcha remix)
Only heard this allstars version of earthquake today, didn't know it existed before hand, Busta is my favourite of all the rappers, ALL THE RAPPERS.
Other than that I'm doing pretty well, the ex and I actually spoke, got a few things off my chest I feel lighter.. better. and turns out we're all supposed to wear blue instead of black at my friends funeral.. seems more fitting.
I'll be back soon with a more interesting update hopefully.
/*** EDIT ***/
oh yeah WHAT THE FUCK is with Michael Bay messing with TMNT and turning them into aliens in this movie, way to blow another fond childhood memory based film!
