Rough with the smooth

It is a known fact that when things go well that something has to be crappy along with it.

If nothing else this helps you appreciate the good when it comes along, and makes you stop whinning like buggery when things go bad.

I am now the proud owner of a car. I love my car. I really mean that. It makes me happy to drive it. However there are things about the car that I don't like. The fact that it has a CD player for one. Not a good CD player that can handle MP3's, oh no. Just plain old CD's. So I have to carry around loads of CD's just to stop me from going crazy. My Ipod is just gathering dust on the shelf because there isn't even a port for me to put it in to my stereo.

So, yes I am going to get a new stereo so that I can start using my Ipod again.

The other thing that really grinds me about the car. You know the shade visors you have for the driver and front passenger? And how the passenger always has a mirror? Well the drivers got one as well in my car. You may think that there is nothing wrong with that. For the most part you would be right. Until there is some sun and you turn the visor down to sheild your eyes. Now because of the angle of the shade visor you now (thanks to the mirror) have a great view....of your crotch. That is not something I need to have right in my line of sight. I really don't know who thought that was a good idea, or if they didn't do enough testing on the old crotch mirror but someone is accountable for that view.


Not major things I know. But things I would like to change, to make my life a lot happier.

Quotes For The Box

When a film is released on DVD one of its main selling points are the quotes on the case.

This is the first of, hopefully, many quotes I will give you that should have appeared on the case to help you decide to buy or not to buy.

The Elephant Man (1980)

"A David Lynch film that WON'T make you want to rip out your brain, stuff it into a blender and then set fire to yourself."

Lay-Z

If I could be bothered I would fill this thing in every day and explain about what is happening in my world. You might find that interesting and informative. It could be as big as Big Brother.

But this is the real world. And Big Brother sucks.

And I'm lazy.

Well maybe not lazy so much as very busy.

Let's get back up to speed interwebs.

In September I was moved from my normal place of work just a mere 20mins walk from where I live and moved to work 44 miles away. I spent the first couple of weeks catching the train. This took 2 1/2 hours there and another 2 1/2 hours to come home, making me very tired all the time. I have passed my driving test after those couple of weeks and TAS nicely let me use her car to go to work. Now it only takes an hour to get there, which is a lot better.

Things didn't start off too well at my new place of work. Mostly because the members and the team were mutants. But like all mutants they have mutated and have now come to understand, that I don't act like an arse. I AM an arse!. *insert lol here*.

But seriously I spent the first few months having a bit of an uphill struggle with some people, but now on a whole I like my job.

I also now have my own car. It's called Kevvy.

Xmas was ace and I had a really good time. Tas and Jecka were both very happy with everything they got. We ate, we laughed and we thoroughily enjoyed ourselves.

I am still working about 55-60 hours a week, plus the 10 hours driving on top of that so am normally to tired to write about anything like I used to.

I will aim to write something each week and keep you good folks entertained, but I wouldn't hold out for that one.

My main thing at the minute is that my phone contract is up so I am free to go to another company and get a lovely iPhone. But the thought of leaving and going to another company scares me. What if they don't lke me? What if everyone on my netwrok now stops talking to me and shuns me when I come near?

Do I really want an Iphone? Do I dare break free?

*shrugs*

I 'll deal with that when I can be bothered.
