Missed my weekly blog this week. Too busy. ALL THE THINGS happening, most not very good.

Lost 2 pounds last week, making my total weight lost 13 pounds in 3 weeks *flex*

Very proud, would have liked more though.


On other notes, follow my Twitter? Its all about games and stuff @getzzzonked

Most importantly though, I'm after some feedback. I've started writing for a nerd site called Bad Haven. I've written two articles so far and I'm looking to write more, but I'm after some constructive feedback/criticism to make my stuff better. Any help would be great

Xbox 720 Article

PS4 Article

Any feedback would be great, seriously <3

The most important thing about this week though? STARDUSTBUNNY is visiting <3 <3 <3 Haven't seen her in weeks and I shit you it's been killing me. Trying to be positive but I really hate long distance and it's getting me down. Anyway, my girl is visiting, I'm feeling healthier, work is shit and my boss is a cunt, but whatever, I'm alive

SO! Weekly weigh-in time again.

Last week Wii Fit (I don't own scale >.>) told me I was around 17st 3 lbs, and this week I am....

On a separate note, I wrote my first article for badhaven this week. It's been sent off to the editor and he should get back to me soon enough

Life is good. Seeing my girl next month, weight is down, seeing my girl next month, playing lots of Guild Wars 2, seeing my girl next month, and oh, of course I'm SEEING MY GIRL NEXT MONTH <3

Yeah, life is alright.

Still ALLLIIIIIIIVE

So, weigh in time! And praise the lord, it's good news!!

Last week I weighed in at 113Kg, or 17st 11lbs. This week I weigh, DRUM ROLL PLEASE!

On to other matters, I'm feeling write-y, which could be awesome. I have a lot of opinions, rage and funnies in my mind that need to be let out, so writing might be a good idea. But, and there's always a but, my girlfriend has been offered a chance to write about game-y stuff for a website dedicated to nerds and their ways, doing reviews and such, and I really don't want to do the same and encroach on any ideas she may have, or that I may give her. This is her thing and I should support her, not try and get carried along for her ride into internet fame!

Confusion ensues. Anyway, I'll wait and see how the writing goes and then take it from there I think.

Much love, A-man-convincing-himself-people-are-reading-this-shit. Tata!

HE'S ALIVEEEEEEEEEEE.

I'm back. I have an active SG account again. (Not that anyone cares, but still, I like talking to myself ) I'm trying to get fit again! Huzzah!

Anyway, numbers. I'm 17 stones 11 pounds (113KG) as of January 7th 2013. I am 6 foot 5 inches (196cm) tall and pretty hench, not gonna lie, so the near 18 st weight doesn't really show, but I can feel it. I feel sluggish and overly squishy.

So, I started something of a crash diet today. OH THE DOOM. I thought I would try playing the veggie for a week of so, but after today I know it ain't gonna happen. I need MEAT. ALL THE MEAT. I'm also exercising. The usual pushups, sit ups, skipping etc. Due to my large size, crappy knees and shitty lungs, running and general cardio aren't my thing AT ALL.

So, tomorrow, a protein filled full english breakfast minus the bread, sausages and bacon fat! Lunch will likely be sardines and salad or noodles with some ham or something. MEAT. And of course, lots of fruit

Aim is about 4 pounds a week (ish). I know it's a lot but I've been so unhealthy recently it should be doable without too much hassle for a month if I can

Anyways, I have a hell of a lot of SG sets to catch up on Namely Lass, AnnaLee and Quinne, not gonna lie :3

My weekend shall consist of mostly:




Beta time! Should be an interesting one. We'll see.

Just today of work then the weekend is mine!

A WILD BLOG APPEARS

So, Stardustbunny is in the shower, and I've just finished exercises to make my back hurt a bit less. But yeah, besides the back ache,I'm feeling good

4 day weekend is nice Going to the city tomorrow to see my grandparents, GW2 beta next weekend, and today I intend to mong out and play games while my girl sits in bed crocheting, cos she's awesome

Only 3 days at work this week, which is win. What's not so win is that I have like, a million things to do in that time xD

Should be alright though

Feeling a blog, so, here goes

Been typing allll night. Loads of silly English Heritage lark.. blah blah. ANYWAY

Last weekend, I had my girl come visit Was lovely weather out, and regrettably (ish) we didn't go out at all...

But, she is visiting again this weekend! For 10 days too So there will be lots of going out and seeing people and socialising Four day weekend for the Jubilee, and I think I'm gonna drag her to a street party at my nans in the city. Prince Harry is gonna casually pop down, so it could be fun <:

GUILD WARS 2 second beta weekend has been announced Not that I'll be playing cos Stardustbunny will be here so she'll be making shinies xD

ONE OK ROCK are bringing out a single the day before my birthday God I wish they'd come to the UK.

Think I might start doing a photo blog thing. I upload enough pictures to Tumblr from my phone anyway... Will have to find the time somehow xD

My room smells 'meadow fresh'. True story.

Bring on the good times

Jesus Christ I haven't written a blog in ages D:

So yeah. LIFE. Wow. Uhmm, start bad and get good I think.

WORK

So, I'm a boat builder. I started my current job all new and shiny and qualified, on the promise of building a ship. A small ship, yes. About 110 foot long, and made of solid English oak. Every shipwrights wet dream of a job. Since joining them 10 months ago, I haven't even started on the ship yet, but I have:
Taken 12 NEET (Not in Education, Employment or Training) 16 to 18 year olds, all whom came to us with a variety of histories from violence, to hard drug misuse, to anti-social behaviour, and turned them into respectable members of the society (ish). In short, I straightened them out, got them jobs and apprenticeships, and taught them some fucking respect.
Filled out a website for the Project I work for with all the information about the heritage site we work on, to the ship we're building, to the training we're providing.
Written more words for said website, magazine articles, and newpapers than my girlfriend has written for her fucking English degree.
And then, all the work developing the site we work on, from the shit heap it was to the fine establishment it is now.
In short, I've worked my arse off. NOW. There's a little boat in our yard, that I'd like to work on. Get back on the tools, enjoy myself. I got clearance for this. Its a nice double ended fishing boat, about 24 foot long, made of a variety of oaks and mahogany's.
Instead, I am going to train and straighten out another 10 NEET kids from the local area, find them all jobs, while teaching my own one (soon to be two) apprentices in the art that is boatbuilding, finish the buildings, write teaching material for a Level 2 and level 3 course in Marine Engineering, keep the website up to date, write about 10 blog posts on the development of the buildings from start to finish, keep a board of trustees happy (FUCKING COMMITTEES), all while trying to maintain a happy home life, myself in some form of physical fitness and general hygienic state, try to find time to play online games with my friends around the country and keep in contact with my friends who're more local, BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY, see my girlfriend. But I'll get to that in a moment.

Yeah, work is killing me. I want more time to me. Sorry about the total angsty ranting blog of shit, but it will get better. Right after...

I say sorry to my girlfriend
Its her end of year formal at uni tonight, and I said months ago I'd be there, and I'm not. I feel like a royal dick. She is having great fun, but I said I would and I put it off and should have treated it more importantly and booked the damn holiday time and tickets and argh. So yeah, sorry baby.

Gonna do my absolute best to make it up to her. Which may involve a dress, shoes, jewellery and all that lark for the formal next year xD

But yeah, it gets better now

GIRLFRIEND

She is amazing. Truly fucking incredible. Totally getting me through all this work right now, while working through what was a massive pile of essays. I'm seeing her two weekends at the end of the month and start of the next She is coming out to see me :3 God, I fucking love her. And of course,I'm going to see her for her birthday I'm taking her away for her birthday the weekend after she has her new ink done Then we get an awesome summer topped off by going away to Greece together in September for a week Oh yeah, stuff with the girlfriend is going well

OTHER STUFF

Got to play the Guild Wars 2 beta event a few weekends back, which was mega. Great fun I'm slowly getting back into BF3, but meh, not enough time to get good again xD
A good friend of mine Clare is having a child, which is win <3
Built my friend a new gaming PC.
Read World War Z on the girlfriends recommendation and it was amazing
My younger sister who got back from 4 months working in China as a costume mistress for big touring show, got a new job travelling the UK with a new show
My Dad went self employed, and my Mum got a new job.
My Grandad turns 70 this month, and the old bastard is still going strong.
And hopefully, I will get myself a inked for the first time this year. Although not holding out on it too much cos of funds. But we'll see

Anyway, If you've read this far, have a gold fucking star. Seriously xD Totally needed to let that shit out, and feel better for it already.

Yo,

SO yeah, work is seriously draining me at the moment. Its pissing all over everything that is so good in my life right now. Trying my best to block it out, and keep telling myself things will get better in the next couple of months.

Have been failing on the healthy eating a bit. Back just above 15 stone now. Not fussed though. Feeling healthier still.

Girlfriend is amazing. Love her to bits. She does a bang up job of keeping me smiling and preventing me from killing people at work. Can't wait to see her not this weekend but next. Gonna be good. She's off to Edinburgh this weekend for her best friends birthday. I'm sure I can distract myself with some work or something in her absence xD

Music wise. FLASH FLOOD OF COLOUR YES FUCKING PLEASE. Very, very good album. As always with Shikari, original, wacky, and epic. The final track on the album is a beaut. I recommend it to anyone bored enough to read this far into my blog. Constellations - Enter Shikari. Awesome metaphor in refernce to the Doomsday clock, but reminding us that the things cloest to us are what really matter, and keep us going. Lav it. Also, Hugh Laurie's Let Them Talk, and Lupe Fiasco's Friend of the People Mixtape. All good stuff. New album from the Boss in a month too. AND GASLIGHT ARE BACK IN THE STUDIO. Good times!

Also, managed to hunt down a Hard Cover of 'The Art of Guild Wars 2' <3. 40 days with Air China though -.-


Anyways, thanks (and congrats) for reading to the end xD

Yo,

So, work is killing me. QQ MOAR post incoming. I'm getting pulled left, right and fucking centre by these bastards. None of the management will make the decisions they need to, and it is starting to get to me. /rage

On a brighter note, had an amazing weekend at my girlfriends. Its was lovely. She is lovely. *happy*

I also climbed back on the scales. 14 stone 13 lbs. Good times. Skipping works for sure.

Sorry for the shitty short blog post anyone that even remotely cares, but I honestly don't have enough time to write more.

Toodles.
