Saturday eve... and the night is still oh so young. I have just finished cleaning up the house. My two best friends are currently out of town attending a wedding. I have an out of date beer in front of me... and some DJ Shadow on itunes. As if all that isn't enough... it is muggy as hell and there appears to be a stormfront hanging over this fine city. I love it. I love the feeling of the air when there is a storm brewing. I hate the hot weather usually but when it's over cast I can somewhat deal with it.
I had an absolutely horrid thursday and friday. After finally purchasing an xbox to replace the one that was stolen a few weeks back... it turns out the one I had bought is a dud. I had just finished successfully installing two other xboxes without so much as a single issue but when it came to mine it was Issue Central. Hard drive I bought didn't work with it... the video looked like shit... and to cap it all off it managed to format my USB thumb drive that had all my important stuff on it. So i spent the best part of a day and a half beating myself up over it.
<interuption> Underworld - Dark & Long (Dark Train Mix), drooooool, shudder, shiver, droools some more </interuption>
It was annoyingly self perpetuating too, I would see that I was in a foul mood (and this was a hellish foul mood too, to the point where my workmate noticed it too) and then try and lighten up and then find myself back in the same state of a mood. So as you could imagine i would then get more bummed that I couldn't even pull myself out of my mood. It further annoyed me to think that i was getting this annoyed over something as stupid as my xbox... the thing that was fucking me off the most was that I had gone to the trouble of fixing my workmates xbox and then sorting out my spare xbox to give to my best mate for the cost of the parts involed and i would cover off on it until i gave it to him and yet the one xbox i get for myself ends up being a dud... and then just generally had a shitty day at work because I was sooo busy being in a dark mood.
BUT!
It's now Saturday eve... and how things have changed. I just had one of the best days I have had in ages and for a change it hadn't involved any indulgence or anything like that. I got up late because I had gone to meet up with a mate late yesterday night (well early sunday morning to be exact ) So rolled outta bed at 10:00... wandered off to the shower and then came out to find my fluffhead waiting for me with a quick mow! My housemate was out and the house was filthy so I whipped out the vacuum and started cleaning... I don't care what people say... having a nice clean house is sooooo nice, it's one less thing to worry about and since I have a fluffhead she has the tendency to generate quite alot of fluff (funny that) so the corners of all our floors like to collect her fur... so vacuumed all that and then organize my desk... and then off to a mate's place.
The weather yesterday consisted of an easterly wind coming in at around 1:00 and then not leaving... at all... just a hot icky wind all through the night... now you may wonder why I'm telling you this. Well today on the way to my mate's house (which is about a 20 minute ride) the seabreeze had come storming into town. The Doctor was in effect and the sun was shining big and bright, so safety fell by the wayside and I hopped on my bike sans jacket and gloves. BEAUTIFUL. Absolutely beautiful. Nice cruise to my mates and then shot the shit for the best part of 2 hours... talking cars as we always do, which I find hilariously ironic since i don't actually have a drivers license (i still love cars though). Cruised past one of my other best mate's work on the way home... distracted him from work as best I could and picked up some out of code imported beer for two shades of bugger all (their store is changing ownership so they are getting rid of all the old stock)
Left him and then cruised relaxingly homeward and decided that I was going to stop in and pick up some xbox games (and also in the hope that the sexy redheaded chick would be working at the video store... oh dream woman! ) Stopped in there and grabbed a wad of games (unfortunately she wasn't working but still). Cruised back home and then just generally relaxed.
This would be the first time in months that I have just bummed... just relaxed... and not really worried about anything. Quickly ducked out to grab some lunch. But yeah... all in all it's just been a smile tastic day. I'm a little worried that I will crash since I have since indulged... but i'm hopeful that that won't come about. One of my other mates is back down from working up in the far north and it was his birthday yesterday... so there will be beerage and company later on since i haven't seen the smeghead in ages. We usually just end up chatting about the gym and that... it's good... he's one of the hardest people I know but from looking at him you really wouldn't guess it. He is awesome....
Well will post this cos i don't want my compy to crash... and for me to lose all this Undoubtably i will jam something into this later on either this eve or tomorrow.

That sucks about the xbox not working and all and being in such a bad mood you couldnt get out of it but where there is low times there are high times and looks like you had some high times today which is great
Have a good night bumming around, its a really nice feeling to not worry about anything and just do whatever you feel like isnt it.....
and mmm to storms, hope one hits soon so i am still up and can watch it crack over the um....well we dont have any cane fields, so um grass? lol....
