The Life Of An Albino

Rounding Up 2009

2009-12-31T09:31:00.002Z

Well this has been quite an eventful year, in both good and bad ways, so lets have a lookse.

The year started off good by being able to buy a game which was really rare to find at the time but all fun was removed when i was stitched up by a girl in Exeter the next day.

Several days later I started at PCMI in Cosham in Portsmouth which is a place that helps unemployed and people with disabillities get back into the workplace, I was the youngest person at the time so my goals were a bit different, anyway here i made some fantastic and amazing friends, theres Gemma, Sharon, Gillian, Penny, Tom, Stephen and several others, the days were spent looking up jobs but at the same time having a laugh.

This continued on until June, during that time me and Sharon started a work placement at Portsmouth City Council for 12 weeks which turned into nothing, yeah they were good times.

Also during this time i may have made a good mate of mine a bit pissed off, on his birthday aswell, you see we went out drinking and i kind of became way too drunk, so much so i dont remember being kicked in the face, i remind you this wasnt deliberate as i thought i had paced and eaten enough, i can only guess it was the shots of something that i dont like.

Anyways, me and Max have taken several trips this year, all around London somewhere, 2 to The Namco Station near Waterloo and the other 4 to Thorpe Park in Chertsey, we have had some great fun and ride photos can be viewed on Facebook, next year we are planning to go to Splashdown in Poole, Alton Towers near Stoke-on Trent and the possabillity of Blackpool.

Anyways back to PCMI, from July things seemed to start falling apart, friendships with Penny severly broke down as accusations were passed and forth, all of Penny's being false, I obviosuly wont go into details on here, fortionatly the true people stayed friends, basically all minus Penny, We spent Gemma 25th round Gills and people were finishing courses at PCMI which was changing badly, becomming much stricter than usual, so this wasnt the best of times.

Sunday 9th August saw a great time in which me and Gemma started dating, it came a bit of a suprise as i always liked her and was shocked to hear she liked me back, now that doesnt happen muich lol, anyways we started dating and are still going as i am writting this, we spent my 19th together and have had some great times, we have spent days out including Sharon and Gill, we love each other very much, sure we have our moments but then everyone does.

In September i was forced by Jobcentre Plus to go on a course at Crescent in Southampton, at this point i still had not found a job which PCMI was meant to do, this course was basically full of typical youngans, young people with kids all looking for a job, of course there were people who just couldnt be arsed.

This course continued for 7 out of the 13 weeks, with even a bit of Swine Flu thrown in, well thats what the NHS said. Friday 23rd October saw me going for a job interview at Brockenhurst College in The New Forest, this was for an apprentice in administration, not the calliest of rules but its good, with shock to hear that afternoon that they had picked me, i started there on the 2nd November and am still going, there are good times here and great people to work with in the office, there have been some events due to rail problems but i cant really avoid these.

Christmas went quite well, some new clothes, some xbox games including Lips Number One Hits, Call Of Duty Modern Warfare 2 and the new GTA Episodes, i have also purchased Left 4 Dead 2 and DJ Hero for the xbox 360 aswell, but the best presents were from by bubba because they meant so much to be full of love.

I have also been playing with Hampshire Blind Cricket aswell, this was our first season and we didnt finish last, we are always inprooving so watch out the rest of you because your going down lol.

I think really trhats about it for this year, all the important stuff has been mentuioned, i have to say this year has been much better overall than last year, no being hit by cars, no operations, no severe stitching ups, there have been moments but overall a good year, especially because i have the most amazing girlfriend in the whole world, my bubba.

However this entry shall end on a sad note, no further entries shall be posted, this is the last entry, i have taken the disicion as i dont really have the time to do it and there isnt much to report, the blog however shall remain online and so shall the Roaccutane blog, comments can still be submitted and who knows, the blog may restart, this one has been going for 2 and a bit years, so i hope everyone has been reading and enjoying.

I hope everyone has had aMerry Christmas and that Everyone has a Happy New Year, welcome to 2010, whenever it starts where you are lol.

Until Next Time

Pay Day At Brockenhurst

2009-11-28T19:10:00.002Z

This has been my 4th week working for Brockenhurst College, im enjoying the job very much and much more at the moment as ive just been paid.

My job basically consists of looking at new applications recieved from students for studying next year, i then enter the important parts into the college computer system, generate letters and schedule interviews for them, and any other random tasks which need to be done.

The job is going well and working with a great office of staff, to be honest everyone in the college is great, the only bum part is travelling from one side of Hampshire to the other, but then this is annoying because some providers cannot do their job of running trains on time.

My relationship with Gemma is still going very strong and will soon be hitting the 4 momth mark, thus then being my longest relationship.

To be honest there isnt much more to say, so this is where this entry shall end.

Until Next Time

No Longer Unemployed

2009-10-25T15:32:00.003Z

It's about bloody time.

After being on a course provided by the jobcentre in which what i was meant to be doing hadnt even started, i shall be finishing it with this comming week being the last.

After going for numerous interviews and not getting anywhere i applied for 3 jobs at colleges, one at South Downs, one at Havant and the other at Brockenhurst, after hearing back from Brockenhurst asking me to go to an interview which was last friday, the interview went well but didnt get my hoppes up.

Later that afternoon recieving a phone call and being asked if i was still interested and they would like to offer me the job which i immediately accepted, the only problem is its in Brockenhurst, roughly 40 miles away and the train isnt direct with a change required at Southampton Central.

It;s also a good thing im leaving that training centre, someone there gave me Swine Fly, admittingly it was only mild but still required Tamiflu but now has all cleared up which is excellent.

For those interested in Technology, Windows 7 came out a few days ago, you may recall in my previous blogging system that i upgraded to Vista nearly 2 and a bit years back, this upgrade to 7 was much better and overall 7 is a much better, faster and more stable system and no drivers were needed to be installed.

The relationship continues which is excellent and im really happy.

Well thats about it for this entry, hope everyone enjoys Halloween, me and a friend shall be at Thorpe Park on the 31st as its open until 10pm and we want the thrill of riding everything in the dark, photos and videos to be uploaded after that date, keep watching Facebook.

Until Next Time

A Long Awaited Update

2009-09-06T10:54:00.002+01:00

Hello there all readers

appologies for the lack of entries as the last entry was nearly 5 weeks ago, i would have posted more entries but things have kept changing so entries would have been contradictionary to do so.

I am no longer single, yay, however from the 1st july i was with a girl called Dani, this lasted until the 8th August, as it turns out my affection was annoying her and i also found out that i was meant to lie to my parents about what she is doing, so this got too much and had to end

However, i am now with a girl called Gemma, i have known her since March from PCMI in Portsmouth, we have been together for a momth today and i have to say im very happy, i have been through some new things and new experiences.

Also during this time me and the maximus have taken many trips to London, including 2 trips to The Namco Station in London where we had loads of fun on the bumper cars and the first time suffering badly bruised knees but it is soo much fun, the videos are on youtube and facebook if anyone wants to see

We also went to Thrope Park last weekend and had a great time, we left home at 5am having to walk to GFosport and didnt get back home till 12.30am, walking from 15 miles plus, there are the ride photos and the SAW video on facebook if anyone wants to see..

Unfortionatly the job searcgh is still continuing, with many employers recently really pissing me off by making excauses for not employing me, such as i dont live close enough to the job, however i am due to start an ICT course called A+ in a weeks time at a training centre in Southampton.

The blind cricket still continues with many games played, we drowned in the rain against South Wales in Cardiff, we travelled to Birmingham for a tournament and having played against people that have been playing for like 20 years l;onger, we only lost by a couple of runs each time.

I have recently turned 19 and there are many pictures from Oceana in Southampton to celebrate my birthday even though it was a few days late lol photos are on facebok.

I have also recently had to buy a new computer as my last one finally decided to give up, below are the specs

Intel Core 2 Quad Q840 at 2.66 GHZ
4 GB DDR2 RAM at 800 MHZ
2 X 1TB HDD SATA 2
ATI HD 4870 1GB Graphics Card
22 X DVD-RW Drive

it truly is an amaxing machine

Sadly this entry ends with some bad news, at the current time i have decided to end this blog on the 31st December, however this is yet to be confirmed, i may change my mind, so keep listening.

Well thats about it for this entry, a round up of everything to the current time.

Until Next Time

Quick Update

2009-08-01T15:25:00.001+01:00

Hello There

This is a quick update only to explain the lack of entries lately.

The main reason is that quite a few things are happening, but there not fully sorted out or secured, so im waiting a bit until everything is like set in stone, otherwise i may post entries about something and then have to re-tract it all in a later entry.

Don't worry there shall be lots of updates soon, i shall break them down so you can read them easier and not get tired lol

Until Next Time

The Much Awaited Update

2009-06-23T21:10:00.003+01:00

This should be a rather interesting blog as it contains everything thats happened over the last month

The job searchg still continues and to make matters worse the work placement at portsmouth city council is not turning up a result and this will be the last week of it, 15 weeks overall and sadly if they were paying me that would be around £1,600

Hampshire Blind Cricket are progressing well, we have won a match against London Metro and drawn in our 2 most recent matches against Essex and Northants, from what i heard last we were around the middle of the league which is good for our first season.

A few weeks back a few of us including me went for a drink in Southampton from Blind Cricket, we ended up in a Weatherspoons of which i dont know what it was called lol, 5 pints later and missing the last direct train made me wait and not get back home till 1.15AM, and hearing a peuthetic argument between a guy and a girl on a train, after which i turned out and basically told them to shut the fuck up lol.

9th June was Johnny's birthday and we went round his house for a BBQ and some drunk ish dancing to music, there are videos and photos on my facebook so take a look if you want a cheap laugh lol.

That Friday we ventured to The Isle of Wight to go near the festival, we finally found a good spot near the Medina river which runs into the centre, Newport, so after several beers we decided to go swimming in it, may i point out it joins up with the solent, a great day, and again there are videos and photos on Facebook.

Last Saturday me and several others from PCMI went round to a house in Farlington and had some fun there, overall there were 4 lovely aand beautiful girls from PCMI who are great friends and another guy, so 4 girls and 2 guys lol, anyways we had fun and are planning other gatherings. photos are on facebook.

Sunday me and Max there were meant to be others went to Thorpe Park again, i had to travel early leaving the house at 5.45AM due to Fareham station being closed, and taking the very slow train from Portsmouth to Clapham Junction, well imagine calling at Portsmouth & Southsea, Fratton, Bedhampton, Havant, Rowlands Castle, Petersfield, Liss, Liphook, Haselemere, Widley, Milford, Godalming, Farncombe, Guildford, Woking and Clapham Junction.

We finally met at Clapham Junction and got the train to Windsor & Eton Riverside, got off at Staines, and got into Thorpe Park as disabled guests, this works great as you can queue jump and go on rides very quickly, and you can up to 2 carers per disabled person, we went on most rides about 4 times and there are photos on Facebook including the DVD of our ride on SAW.

Right now my parents have gone away again and left me at home, no there not in America, thats in 3 momths time lol, there on a cruise around the med from Southampton.

In case i didnt mention before im now on contract with Vodafone, Sony Ericsson C902 with 300 mins and unlimited texts for £20 a momth and am loving it lol

Well thats it for this entry, hopefully it hasnt been too much for you lol

Until Next Time

The Last Momth

2009-05-20T21:00:00.002+01:00

Appologies for the lateness of this blog

To be honest it hasnt been the best of 4 weeks, and so much so just realy didnt feel like posting an entry.

Well since the last entry a few things have happened, Hampshire Blind Cricket have played 2 matches against London Metro at home at The Rosebowl and Northampton away, travelling there was no singing this time lol and both were good matches, we were due to play last Sunday against Birmingham but due to the storm sitting the South Coast the game was cancelled.

The work placement at portsmouth city council is still going and is still fun, its all eperience but the likelyhood of employment at the end of it seems to be getting lower which sucks, so as usual its applying for pretty much anything suitable and awaiting replies or in the case of most employers, no reply at all.

This week has been perticularly frustrating, although the sad part is ive been in this situation many times before and its not affecting me anymore but the outcome is still bad, basically talking to a girl for a few weeks, finally decided to meet, met her which turned out to be only for 20 mins to my disappointment and now every message ive sent is being ignored, if she didnt likme she only had to tell me.

The last situation to that was around 8 momths ago, and it's getting annoying, especially when most of your friends dont come accross this barrier, although it doesnt happen every week, something more promising would be nice.

Tuesday 12th May recalled some pretty bad memories into my head, it was 1 year previous when i was hit by the car and i can still feel the moment of impact to this day, fortionatly all dealing around this has been resolved.

Well thats about it for this etnry, although its late its not as jammed packed as id like it

Until Next Time

The Sporting Weekend

2009-04-20T19:37:00.003+01:00

The last weekend has been very tiring for several of us

Me and several other members of Hampshire Goalball participated in a Goalball tournament on Saturday 18th April, however the tournament was in Hull, and with no available drivers we had no choice but to use public transport.

We began at Havant and used the 11.04 South West Trains service to London Waterloo, we then proceeded onto the Northern Line to Leicester Square where we changed onto the Piccadilly Line to Kings Cross St Pancrass, here we boarded the 1.33 Hull Trains service to Hull, arriving at 4.40 (30 mins late due to a fault on the train). On the Piccadilly Line we laughed at the terminating station of "Cockfosters", we also came up for some good nicknames for each person

Chris Coulnel Popcorn
Dave Captain Jack Daniels
Thom General Cockup
Joe Major Pain In The Arse

We spent most of the day and evening consuming alcahol and to an amazement of no hangover the next day, we played 4 matches against Hull, Leeds, Rochdale and Birmingham, considering this is our first tournament in god knows how long we didnt do too badly.

We also had some good experiences in Hull, such as the taxi arriving 30 seconds after calling for one, the politeness was also suprising.

We proceeded back to Hull and used the 4.54 Norhtern Rail service to Sheffield and allighted at Doncaster, here was the 5.55 NXEC (National Express East Coast) service to London Kings Cross, we then used the underground, same as above but in reverse, then using the 8.30 South West Trains service to Portsmouth Harbour arriving back at Havant at 9.45.

Purhcasing this ticket set me back £69.95 and also having to buy another train ticket the next day, this time only £2.50 from Fareham to Hedge End where many Hampshire Blind Cricket players boarded a minibus to Arundel for a friendly with Sussex, a beautiful day with some great people, shame we lostbut meh lol, there was some singing ish on the way up but this failed to wake me up from the last 2 days.

So yeah this has been an eventful, tiring and expensive weekend, a good one though

For your enjoyment i enclose a video taken on our travels back from Hull.

Until Next Time

Thorpe Park, 2nd April 2009

2009-04-05T14:42:00.002+01:00

An exciting and long day at Thorpe Park.

Me and a friend Max took a trip to Thorpe Park, The Nation's Thrill Capital apparently, as i havent been to Alton Towers i cant realy make a judgement.

Anyways, Me and Max purchased a day return to Staines which includes return bus travel to Thorpe Park and reduced entry to the park, £27.70 instead of £35 and the return was £34, it would have been £15 cheaper if travelled later but this wasnt an option lol

We got the 7.24 First Great Western from Swanwick to Southampton Central, i'll point out at here Max hates First Great Western with a passion, ask him as it can go on forever lol, anyway we got to Southampton Central about 7.45, we then got the 8.00 South West Trains to Clapham Junction, the busiest rail location in the UK and possiably Europe, after navigating its 17 platforms and onstant services we finally got the 9.27 South West Trains to Staines.

We got into Thorpe Park at roughly 10.15 and from here proceeded to Colossus and Nemesis Inferno, to our amazement, we queued for only about 10 mins for each one, with both of these rides we purhcased ride photos, we got the photo pass, 5 photos for £20. We then headed to Burger King for Lunch and then proceeded to find SAW.

SAW Is near Colossus but can be easily missed, we queued for about 90 mins and its an awesome ride, 2 110' drops, one being 100ft high, the ride photo was purhcased also, unfortionatly we both became very desperate for the toliet in the queue and had to hold, which was very unconfortable lol.

We would have riden Stelath earlier but was closed for testing until we got there about 3PM, this queue was about 40 mins and both of us were watching for a rollback, which sadly didnt happen, we got into the front row, and experienced Stealth once again, but forgetting just how powerful it realy is lol.

We also did X No Way Out, the worlds only backwards in the dark coaster, as time passed on we then rode Colossus and Nemesis once again, and were amazed as both of these rides were faster than the first time, so full power is at the end of the day ladies and gentleman.

It was a very hot day with no clouds in site and amaingly no burns were recieved by both of us, we left Thorpe Park a little after 5 and got the bus back to Staines, we gt the 5.38 South West Trains i think lol to Clapham Junction, we waited here and became annoyed as Max lost money on the vending machine as his drink became trapped, we then got the 6.27 South West Trains to Basingstoke, but was full of people going to the West Country, we got to Basingstoke at 7.10 and ran onto the CrossCountry service to Southampton Central, arriving at 7.42 we ran onto the South West Trains service back to Swanwick getting there at 8.10.

We got a chippy which unfortionatly didnt do well in my stomack lol, but anyways we had a great day and will most likely do it again at some point this year, There are photos on Facebook, the link is at the bottom of this blog, or you can click on the link in the Potos section on the right side banner.

The Work Placement

2009-03-21T10:15:00.003Z

You may have noticed from this year there are more of a gap between entries and that the entries themselves are fairly different.

Well this entry reverts back to the original style.

As previously mentioned several entries previous, I am doing a workprep course with PCMI in Cosham, it's not to show what work is like, but to help people either get work or get back into work after a period of unemployment.

IT is here where i have met some great people, Steve, Sharon, Penny, Lynda just to name a few, these are all great people, and nothing being new im the youngest on the course, so much so i think the gap is 3 years minimum, never the less its always great seeing and talking to these people.

I 've been there since the start of January and have prooved to be a good asset for employment, I have prooven this in several ways such as showing off skills in ICT, being a speaker in front of a group of people, helping people and demonstrating good skills, the time has come now to put all of this into the working world, this is where the placement comes into this.

It's with Portsmouth City Council in Southsea, i'll point out i dont pick the company lol, this placement is mainly to gain experience within the workplace which cn be added to the CV, it's 2 days a week and so far i've been attacked by filing cabinets and files and folders themselves lol, it's all of fun and there is the possiabillity of employment afterwards, but this isnt definite, i eve get a swipe card to go through doors.

There is a problem with comming back from these places and this is changing the subject here, you may recall entries around the start of May last year, i cant remember what there called without looking them up, anyway it involves meeting a girl and 7 days being severly betrayed, since them she has tried on numerous occasions to get my interest but now its just getting realy annoying, she and her ex of the time seem to lie in wait in McDonalds in Fareham or the Bus Station, as me and Sharon get the bus back cos we have bus passes, it's just annoying as i know all that comes out her mouth are lies and shes always there.

Oh well, its only for a few mins and ive always been with Sharon from PCMI so we make sure we're talking at the same time lol, Sharon is also hoping to get on the same work placement, which would be great as we get along realy well.

Well thats it for this entry, bit long but doesn't contain bus routes lol

Until Next Time

Making Use Of The Bus

2009-03-17T19:40:00.003Z

Me and a girl from PCMI both have bus passes, ( i point out at this time we aren't going out, mainly because shes in a relationship and older) although they are very different, they allow free travel within a large area, and as we both have Friday's to spare, we decide to go to different places using the bus as it's free, and a large number has been added to the list.

Until Next Time

A Rather Blank Entry

2009-02-25T20:26:00.002Z

The reason for this entry being rather bland is...

Not much been happening realy

The only real thing is being kicked in the face in Southampton City Centre a few nights ago, but i was so pissed i dont remember it but my nose hurts lol.

Apart from that and being sitiched up by another girl which i realy cant be bothered to explain not much else new is happening, few new clothes, still doing work prep in Cosham, great people there by the way.

I'm gonna start playing Blind Cricket again, the last time i did was July 2007 at The Rose Bowl and want to start playing the sport again.

If i havent mentioned previously ive started going swimming twice a week, mainly because i like swimming, i do roughly 35 lenhgths each time and slowly increasing over time.

Well i guess thats about it realy, ill fill you in hopefully soon with a good entry.

Until Next Time

UK + Snow = Stop

2009-02-06T10:19:00.002Z

During theis last week the UK has been hit with the worst volume of snow in 18 years.

And it has shown just how lazy and unprepared people are, admittingly the snow did make things like travel difficult, trains were cancelled ,busses severly delayed, many accidents on the road and many flights grounded.

I myslef attending a work prep course in Cosham, i have several opions as to getting the train fom Fareham to Cosham, or get a bus to the Ferry, go over, and get a bus to Cosham, on Monday i waited 40 mins for a bus service which should be every 10 mins (the 85 and 86), fortionatly Portsmouth was better prepared with more gritted roads and more services (the 41)

This snow has also raised another problem for the disabled and the elderly, as registered with the council we are entitled to a bus pass allowing free travel, however after 9.30 the bus pass is useless outside the council which issued the pass, this involved a severe argument as First have told me many times because the right side band is orange for disabled, the 9.30 rule does not apply.

Well a very miserable and unhelpful 41 driver refused to listen and throw me off the bus, thus causing me to be late, this realy annoyed me and i have even created a facebook group, this has the support of several visually imaired and disabled people, i also plan to send this to authority in a proposal to have the rule removed.

The snow also shows people lazyness and lack of comitment, i made it to where i needed to go even with a visual impairment, just because theres frozen water on the floor makes people think i cant be bothered, what a stupid excause.

Anyways enough of my ranting and thats it for this entry.

Until Next Time

Please Let January End

2009-01-25T09:36:00.002Z

And thank god January is nearly over.

You will recall from a previous entry that i hoped 2009 would go much better than 2008, naturally after a bad year who wouldnt want things to go right.

Well if im honest im not allright, perticularly last night as this saw stress levels and annoyance through the roof, i was able to control myself and it was stress in the inside not the out.

Now your probably wondering why i was stressed, of course something had to have happened to cause it.

Right you are, its how im being treated by certain people, who think they can treat me like shit.

i'll start at the beginning, i did get with a girl in the first week of january i think it was, however a couple of days later asked if i wanted to break up with her, then was told she was going to do it anyway, now that probably doesnt sound that bad but thats not the main reason.

I recently have started talking to a girl from Lee On Solent, seemed very mature and likeable so we had arranged to meet up, i even took the job of finding where i was going and how to get there and even taking a wrong turn comming back, last night i had sent txts to her previously with no reply, your probably thinking no credit, then why did she ignore me when trying to talk to her online, hmmmm, and then she had the nerve to delete me from her facebook and reject a friend request, did i also mention ladies and gentleman that this girl is 23 years old.

And this morning after sending a message on facebook asking why, i simply get to to fuck off and being a twat and then even being blocked on facebook, now will someone please explain what the hell is going on.

I cant remember if i had previously said but im doing a work prep course at PCMI in Cosham, this is to help me find a job mainly but also other things such as boosting confidence as im running out of it, and i have to say there are a lot of nice people on here, what probably helps is that there older.

So going to PCMI is the good part of this month but being stitched up is the bad, lets hope that someone who is genuine will come along

Well thats about it for this entry, ill leave you now as youve probably had enough of my winging lol.

Until Next Time

My Hopes For 2009

2009-01-07T14:07:00.002Z

Well 2009 is now well underway.

We are roughly a week into the new year, and it hasnt been quiet, equaly it hasnt been great either.

Besides me ordering lots before the new year like some clothes which are nice, and ive started this work prep course as people will agree finding a job in the current world climate is like trying to find a needle in a haystack.

This year things will be different, last year was a year od depression, jeliousey, injuries, annoyance, being treated like shit and several other things, of course some things i didnt help myself but basically last year was called a disaster.

There are quite a few people from last year who are people who claim to like you or be friends ith you, a week later they want nothing to do with you, last year saw quite a lot of this.

The being single track is still annoying, although my status did change for around 48 hours it has changed back again.

You may also be pleased to know that my injury has almost come to an end, as of isiting the nurse yesterday the wound was found to be closed, bleeding had been taking place since the 23nd November, so thats eerrmm.....44 days of bleeding, thank god it has finally stopped.

My ambitions for this year or to put it another way, if i was able to get a permanent job in whatever im not perticularly bothered, and if i was able to find that special person, if i had these by the end of the year this would be a great year, whether of course this happens if a different matter.

Anyways im determined to make this year a good year, although how yet im not quite sure, this is rounding up this entry as ive pretty much ran out of things to say.

Rounding Up 2008

2008-12-31T00:00:00.000Z

This is my review of the year 2008.

To put in short, this has probably been the worst year of my life, also probably the most eventful.

Nothing much happened realy until May, before then was quite boring, despite the fact having to deal with peuthetic people in my IT class at college, had the college not been over-ruled these people would have been expelled including things such as harrasment and on several occasions nearly causing an accident including myself.

Anyway lets fast forward to May, at first this seemed like a turning point as i was invited round a girl's house in Fareham and involving some laughs, however 1 week later i would find that i was being played and used, asl oat this ime having a chest infection which on one occasion having to open the door on a bus and throw up, fortionatly the bus wasnt moving lol.

2 days later after finding i was being used i was to be involved in a collision, at 4.01 PM on Tuesday 13th May a car drove into me whilst i was going around a rounadbout, throwing me onto the front of the car then bouncing into the road, ending up with a massive wound in my head and a broken wrist, the wound required 7 stitches and the broken wrist took 7 weeks to heal hich were 2 breaks, the Scaphoid and the Radius.

Around about the time college finished my parents were on holiday so i had the pleasure of being with my sister and her boyfriend for company, sadly during this time no relationship or trip to blackpool happened, the plaster was removed from the wrist on the 7th July, during this time my friend Steve found himself a relationship with a girl formally from Wales and me having to listen to all the stories lol.

July saw me attend 3 job interviews in succession in Gosport, Hedge End and Romsey, unfortionatly all of these came to no avail always being beaten by experience, From the time of the accident until around the middle of August i was going through a low phase, i will admit im made jelious easily which did not help, trying to blank with alcahol sonetimes failed and made it worse which im not proud of.

Also during July i met up with a girl from Facebook, although we only saw each other for a few hours we got along well and even kissed, however the next day being told i was liked suddenly went to i dont like you.

We now come to August, the camping in the New Forest turned into a disaster for me as misjudging how much vodka was drunk and being covered in bites which didnt dissappear for around 3 weeks, on 08.08.08 me and Max went to Thorpe Park, here Max conquered his fear of Stealth and being going on it for the first time, we went inthe front, middle and back lol, this overall was a great day.

16th August was the day i finally turned 18, this was celebrated by going clubbing in Southampton City Centre, over the next couple of momths we went out several times. I also went on Holiday to Florida along with Steve which was good as something good needed to happen.

When i came back things seems to get better, a girlfriend, a job and a good night out within 5 days of getting home, unfortionatly 2 days later all this was to be lost due to failing the medical because of eyesight.

We now forward to November in which another medicl occurance happened, this time down below, although finally diagnosing a problem as "Tesitcular Torsion", and managed to b operated on owing to private ealth insurance thanks to AXA PPP, however the next day a blood clot burst causing severe internal bleeding and swelling, since the 23rd November i was bleeding and as im writting this its still going, although the operation was a success the aftermarth was bad. it got s bad i feared i would loose my temp job at the Royal Mail but fortionatly i managed to do that.

We now come to christmas getting some pretty good presents and seeing friends over boxing day was good fun.

Of course many bad things have happened this year, being stitched up by so many girls ive lost count, 2 breakages, cut my head open, operation down below and many other things and yet very few good things have happened this year, to be perfectly honest ill be glad when this year has gone, it shall be called an absolute disaster.

I cant wait for 2009 as one hopes that will be a much more happier year.

Hopefully your 2008 was better than mine, and i wish everyone a Happy New Year for 2009, the next entry of course will be in 2009

Until Next Year

28 Hours Till Christmas

2008-12-23T19:53:00.002Z

Yeah its not long now.

It's not long till it's Christmas Day, Happy Christmas to all readers and people.

However im failing to find christmas exciting this year, before you ask im not a scrooge, maybe its cos im gorwing up, the fun of christmas is when your a kid, and with no big resents to look forward to this year the only exciting bit is the drinking.

now to change the subject, unfortionatly the work at the Royal Mail ended earlier than anyone planned, the last letter i sorted was at 9pm on thursday 18th december, payment is comming through sadly minus tax, but will still be left with more money anyways.

Now turning back to the injury, im happy to report the discolouration has disappeared so normal colour has returned, im happy to report that in the last couple of days the swelling has started to desipate, sady however the wound is still open and still leaking.

At least things are getting better which is a good sign, and as we leave 2008, hopefully life will turn around and produce good things.

Anyways thats it for this entry, wishing everyone a happy christmas, there will be another entry before new year.

Until Next Time

Gosport Back Into The Dark Ages

2008-12-14T21:01:00.003Z

This is due to recent events.

As several thousand people in the south of Hampshire may be aware, on Wednesday theievs broke into the BT exchange and stole £10,000 worth of BT copper lines, plunging areas into darkness with no internet or landlines.

Areas affected are mainly in Gosport including Brockhurst, Alverstoke and areas of Bridgemary, people have had their lines off since and people with BT lines are affected, BT saying that all should be fixed by Christmas Day.

Many people are pissed off by this including the follower of this blog who has returned home to find their phone and internet missing, this worse as a majority of the household have a disabillity and a phone is more critical, they are currently not able to make entries on their blog either.

Fortionatly for me last year we made the swich to Virgin Media as we have a cable line, so we are not affected by the outage, also we are not on the Gosport exchange we are on Fareham, its hard to tell whether we would be affected f we were on a BT line.

Anyways i thought this deserved an entry its a local thing and people i know are affected by it, i have internet access so if anyone i know is affected tell me and you my get access.

Until Next Time

Working At The Royal Mail

2008-12-13T13:59:00.002Z

Since Monday 8th December ive been working tempory at the Royal Mail sorting office in Eastleigh.

The job you may ask, i am one of the people who get the boxes of letters, and put them in the correct places on the frame.

We sort a number of places including Eastleigh, Romsey, North Baddersley, Chandlers Ford, Andover, Salisbury, Shaftsbury, Fordingbridge, Gillingham, Winchester, Totton, Lymingotn, Lyndhurst, Brockenhurst, Shirley and Bitterne areas, Hedge End, Sarisbry Green and Netley.

The job may sound boring and to be honest it isnt the most exciting thing in the world, but theres always something to do, along with a nice set of people and listening to Galaxy all day lol, and also the pay of £5.95 an hour lol

Anyways changing the subject now to my injury, its still going, in fact, its day 20 of bleeding, although now its quite thin and what use to come out in about an hour now comes out in 24 hours, the wound as previously mentioned was 2 centimetres, its now 0.5 centimetres, so it is closing up and being packed every morning to help healing.

there is still some swelling, this is lower than it was but it is still noticable, and the discolouration has nearly dissappeared, should be gone completely in a weeks time, hopefully with the swelling and the open wound.

At Spire i was told by the consultant that the injury could be healed by christmas day, its a very clean wound so theres no sign of infection, but now hopefully the blood will now work to my advantage by making a good heal.

Well thats it for this entry, there are issues laying around with some people of which are realy getting on my nerves, and hopefully you all know who you are, but thats a different story.

Until Next Time

Clearing But Not Cleared

2008-12-05T13:21:00.003Z

It's still ongoing

For anyone who is intersted this is referring to the recent happening since the operation.

As i have probably mentioned previously, bleeding of the Hematone began on Sunday 23rd November, 12 days later, its still going, although we have changed from a dark red like jam look to now a more lighter red, although there is still a couple of places where there is still dark blood.

Although last week finding to my horror the eound was roughly an inch in diameter, since this time the wound has been packed to help the healing process, the testicals have pretty much returned to their normal colour which is progress.

However a note for the NHS, perticulary a certain GP, your a twat lol, they seem to think that this will not heal until the start of March, personally i disagree, its been 16 days since the operation and a fair amount of progress has been made, i have been advised by Spire that this should be pretty uch healed by the end of December.

Which is good as i currently have plans to visit a friend who moved to Exeter a few years ago and havent seen them since, it's something to do and something to look forward to.

Well anyways im going back to Spire in Portsmouth this evening for more analysis and hopefully confirmaition of when this should be healed, ill be pleased if they say the end of the momth, although im due to start a temp job on Monday, and im having enough problems with the Job Centre currently.

Because of this operaion, movement is difficult and i couldnt sign on when i was meant to, this meaning i sent in a JSA28 which is like a sickness note, and right now im being told they havent got it, and now if im told i cant start work i would have to cancel JSA and move to incapacity.

Anyways ill let you know how everything goes, at least this injury to call it is getting better which is a good sign.

Until Next Time

Still Healing

2008-11-27T13:28:00.002Z

This is to do with the operation and the aftermarth.

We are 8 days after the operation and 5 days after comming out of hospital, and to be honest progress is very slow.

There is still sloweeling although this is lower and has gone down and are still discoloured, although this is turning from black to dark red, although there are still a few black places.

Around Sunday was when thins became worrying, blood began to ooze from the wound, this was thick dark red close to black blood, as im writting this im still bleeding, and im told this could last 4 weeks, its been 4 days so far.

Although im told that this is the blood clot comming out, although its disgusting, i dont faint or puke at the sight of blood but i dont like it, and its not nice wearing pads in your pants catching blood even when you sleep.

ive got a follow up at Spire in Portsmouth on the 11th December which clashes with my job at tThe Royal Mail, well assuming ill be well enough to do that, i even went for a job interview in this condition on Tuesday.

Well thats it for this entry, ill let you know how things go

Until Next Time

I'm Not Finished Yet

2008-11-22T16:09:00.003Z

This is carrying on from the previous story.

Believe it or not, theres more, Wednesday night resulted in very little sleep due to unconfortableness and only being able to lay on my back, Thursday morning i attended my induction at The Royal Mail at their centre in Southampton, although this could be in jeppardy.

Thursday afternoon resulted in me phoning Spire as i wasnt sure what i was feeling was normal, this was normally just a precautionary but with the result that follow its a damm god thing i phoned, i had been wearing a strap to stabalise the testicals and minimize movement, however this hadnt been positioned right and had started to dig into me causing pain, so much so that watching tv suddenly halted due to the discovery of blood.

Spire assured me that this is most likely a "Hematone" which is english terms in a blood clot, for the operation i had this can happen but most likely doesnt, sitting in the car to Havant was quite unconfortable and being able to feel every bump, and waiting in the treatment room was no better as i couldnt lay down due to pain, once the examination was done i was given a choice but recommended to stay and be admitted for 24 hours for observation.

I accepted and with difficulty was sat in a wheelchair to a room with a bed and the arrival of dinner, scampy and chips lol, as the pain was still there i was put on a number of pain killing drugs such as Solphadol which is a powerful drug yet gives drowsy effects, ice packs were administered to hep relieve heat and swelling, i cant complain with anything that happened here at Spire, although i was in pain i was better there than at home.

Friday i was in bed pretty much all day watching the tv, and to be honest this does get very boring, regular checks such as pusle and blood preassure were done to ensure i was healthy and food was on hand lol, my sister and her boyfriend simon visited both nights so i had some company, thanks to Vodafone's free evening texts i was able to talk to a girl who lives near me, yes you can use your hone in your room lol, so that was good being able to talk to her.

Saturday morning i was free to be discharged so i arrived back home around lunchtime, unfortionatly moving is a bit difficult given the situations, also i refuse to reveal my injuries lol, well a blood clot discolours the skin because of bleeding under the skin, and he swelling is still there, in other words, avoid lol.

Unfortionatly its now a case of letting the body take care of the injuries, medication can only hide pain for periods of time, full curement is likely to take around a momth and sexual actiivity cannot be done during this time, although a girl would be mad if they wanted to see it lol.

Well thats iit for this entry, i shall keep you informed and try not to gross people ut with this lol

Until Next Time

The Operatioon Down Below

2008-11-19T20:20:00.002Z

Was a success thank you for asking lol

In case you havent been reading lately, today is the day of the operation which took place at Spire(formally BUPA) in Havant in Portsmouth.

We arrived at around 8 this morning and were shown to our room for the day, i have to say although the hospital is private so is different from the NHS, iwas inpressed, very clean, modern and friendly staff, id recommend it if you can use it.

The operation to be performed is know as £Bilateral Testicular Fixmentation", in basic terms, this mean sewing testicals to the scrotom in 3 locations, the sewing are non absorbant and last for life, however after the operation the patient must wear a supportive strap to call it for 14 days to assure stabillity, there is likely to be some pain afterwards so pain kills are provided.

At around 12.15 i was called into the theatre for the operation to commence, a needle was placed in my left wrist with a valve thing i cant remember what its called going through to the vein, followed by a pain killer and then the anasphetic (im not sure how its spelt), during this tme i was telling them how i got the scar on my head, around 25 seconds later the feeling of light headed and drunkeness eased in, its a firly nice feeling but this may depend on how much was injected, add another 20 seconds and i was out.

Spire documented every part of the operation and at times, the operations procedures began at 12.25, the first scalpal to the skin was at 12.40, the operation complete at 12.51 and the wound closed at 12.54, so overall the operation lasted 14 mins, natural awakening was at 13.11 and full awareness returned at 13.24, basic tests such as blood pressure and pulse were tested and i was returned to my room at around 13.45, throughout the next 3 hours continual blood pressure and pulse tests were carried out with an average blood pressure of 115 over 68.

A bag has been fitted to ensure stabillity, i have not seen whats under the bag and to be honest im scared to, the bag must be worn for 14 days after procedure, during this time sexual activity cant be done, purly because of recovery and things in the way lol, however im scared to do anything at the moment anyway lol.

Movement is not easy and pain is felt, this is tempory relieved by pain killers but this is expected to last a few days, which include nights, this however leaves me with no much movement and therefore taking longer to do things, using the bike and wii fit at this time are definite no's, this also means on pain killers i cant drink, because of the bag i cant wear any nice jeans, basically for the next 2 weeks im not in a good spot lol.

However the final result will be good as Torsion will be removed and the possibillity of it again is zero, im gonna head off to bed now ive gotta be up for my induction at the Royal Mail in Southampton, i will keep you informed of all news.

Until Next Time

My Life

2008-11-18T12:19:00.003Z

This is kind of like my life story up to this point.

Well as you may already know my name is Chris, everyone probably knows me better as mu syrname which is Bond lol, i am 18 at the time of writting this and live in Fareham in Hampshire In The United Kingdom, i was born in Southampton on Thursday 16th August 1990, this means my star sign is a Leo, I have lived in Fareham all my life.

At birth i was diagnosed with Occular Albinism, although this is not classed as a disease its a dissorder, in short its no pigment of the skin, eyes and hair, i am short sighted with sight 6/60, this means what you can see at 60 metres i can only see at 6, at this time there is no magic remmedy for the eyes, but mine are at a stable condition so they should not deteriate.

I went to Peel Common school from 1994 to 2001, pupils and staff will remember me as the boy with white hair lol, and ive also some stupid things there lol, as far as i know i'm the only student to have gone to that schol with a sight difficulty and with albinism.

I left school with SATS Level 4 in English, Maths and Science, so im not dumb lol, whilst my friends went to Bridgemary in Gosport and Crofton in Fareham i went to Toynbee in Chandlers Ford, a school with an attached Visual Impairment Centre, this was very challenging, waking up at 6am and not getting home till 4.30pm, sitting in traffic every morning and going to a school were i know no-one and no had heard of Gosport or Fareham.

During my life i have had to deal with critsism from people who realy should grow up and learn something called respect, just because i look different doesnt mean i am a different person on the inside, this has got the better of me at times and have been diagnosed with depression several times to date, 2003 being the first.

Anyway i finished Toynbee in 2006 with 11 GCSE's, 3 A's in ICT, 1 B in IT and 1 B in Media, C's in Geography and Science, and D's in French, English and Maths, there are several reasons for the lower grades such as course material being scrapped and changes in teachers, in several ways im glad i went to that school, i met some good friends there so i cant complain lol.

At the start of 2006 i decided after school i wanted to go to College, as i had an interest in IT from a young age i wished to persue this further, however i didnt want to travel anymore so it was a choice out of St Vincent College in Gosport or Fareham College, looking at the courses available i decided to go to Fareham College and do a 2 year BTEC National Diploma in IT.

For the first 6 momths, everything seemed amasing, nice people, nice college and doing well on the course, nothing can go wrong right? thats what i thought, starting 2007 this changed, people who i thought were friends teamed up against me for no reason, thus giving me hell until i finished college, i also went to Barcelona in Spain with the college, this was realy good with new people this was a great time.

Half way through 2007 things favored me, June 2nd to be exact lol, whilst my parents were away on holiday in The United States and i was left at home, whilst participating in a Blind Cricket match in Brighton me and a girl became interested in one another, after thinking i was getting nowhere we decided to go out, my god i was happy lol, this being my 1st made it even better, we were very close and in love, sadly in the middle of September of the same year for several reason our relationship ended, leaving me heartbroken for the rest of the momth.

Dealing with the idiots in my course in the second year i was very tempted at times to withdraw, however finishing with 2 A's and a B cant be bad at all lol.

However in May 2008 things took a dramatic plunge, after being lied to and backstabbed by a girl and then being hit by a car within 60 hours, on the 13th May in Chandlers Ford a car drove into me without looking taking me off my bike and landing head first on the Chestnut Avenue Roundabout, leaving me with a gash to the head and a broken wrist in 2 places, this required 7 stitches to my head, and later finding a broken Scaphoid and Radius, this leaving me in a cast for roughly 8 weeks.

Also during this time my best mate got a girlfriend, whilst everything went great for him and still continues to now, May was the worst momth of my life lol, whilst i was happy for him i felt jeliousey as this was what i wanted but didnt have.

Now im all healed and my wrist works, also previous to this i was on Acne Treatment for 6 momths, the pills i was on are called Roaccutane, and trust me, they work, although they are a lot of possiable side effects, dry skin and lips, and can be so severe as to diabetes, however no severe effects emerged and the skin contiues to remain clear, the treatment finished in June of this year, more information can be found on my blog "My Roaccutane Experience".

Fast forwading to November of 2008 another medical anomoly occured, this time in the gentlemens area, the condition was found to be Torsion, causing twisting of the testicle and swelling, as of the day im writting this i shall be having an operation tomorrow at BUPA in Havant in Portsmouth to correct this.

Now i shall mention other things in my life.

An Update To The Situation

2008-11-15T22:20:00.004Z

This is referring to what happened last week.

An Ultrasound was scheduled for thursday lunchtime which i attended at St Mary's Hospital in Portsmouth, here i was seen 20 mins early and the scan was performed, the scan came back negative which suggested there werent any problems, this was both relieving but confusing at the same time.

However within 24 hours of this scan i would get the cause revealed, Friday morning i awoke to aganoising pain once again, inpressing myself by being able to be seen my a GP that morning whilst the eswelling was still there, however after the examination the pain subsided, before this happened i was referred back to St Mary's again, so i got myself over there for around lunchtime, here i was seen by a professional Urologist who examined me, and after all was revealed, the case comes to Torsion.

Torsion is another word for twist, ill try to explain this but please be mature about what it involves.

The tesitcals are sitting on top of stalks to call it within your body, however they are not fully attached and movement is possiable due to movement and positioning of the body, imagine one of your testicals being able to twist on its stalk, taking the spermatic cord around with it, this is the pain felt caused by the twisting, and also the blood supply is cut off at this point, in cases if this is not reated within 24 hours the testicle can be lost.

Fortionatly for me the tesitcle has managed to un-twist itself and return to normal, however this has happened at least 7 times in the last 2 years with varied gaps, it was also found mine are not sitting correctly which could be a factor, the testicals are meant to sit vertically, where as mine were at some different angle. However to treat this it requires an operation.

Patient is put to sleep whilst the tsitcals are untwisted and returned to correct positioning, at this time they are sewn to the Scrotom so that they are not able to twist, both are normally done as a precaution, the operation can last a maximum of 3 hours, i will be dealing with this on Wednesday.

Fortionatly for me my parents have private health insurance and i am also convered, so the operation has been brought forward from 21 days of waiting to 5, and shall be done at BUPA (Spire) in Havant in Portsmouth. Although throughout the last week i have no complaints with the NHS, seen before expected time, professional advice, very attemptive, whether this is just St Mary's in Portsmouth i dont know lol, although i was treated very well with staff in Southampton General when i was hit by that car, the case is nearing settlement by the way.

I should mention here that this does not affect sexual abillity or the chance of pro creation (having children), although having sexual intercause whilst Torsion is present is a stupid idea, and even with the loss of the testicle, both of the above are not affected, although for this this should not be a case as both will still be there lol.

So yeah basically thats it for this entry, i shall inform you of the result, if anyone is interested or curious, look up "Testicular Torsion", appologies if i have made anyone feel ill or grossed out.

Until Next Time

From Now Until Then

2008-11-10T16:15:00.002Z

This is an update to the last entry until now, if i can remember it all lol

I have got a job, unfortionatly its not permanent and only lasts for two and a half weeks, however it shall bring in over £600 during that time lol, its with The Royal Mail in Eastleigh.

If there are any gamers reading this then unless there mad they would have realised that on the 24th October 2 big awaited titles were released, Far Cry 2 and Fable 2, both of which are good games and would recommend.

The next day several of us, Me, Steve, Amy, Claire, Nathan and Luke went out to Southampton on a Saturday night, unfortionatly this night prooved weird, somebody wore the wrong shoes and was refused entry into i cant remember what its called inside Lesiure World lol, next people were hungry causing a delay, then people couldnt afford to get in the Walkabout, by this time its nearly midnight and not a drop of alcahol had been consumed on our travels, the night finalised in Squares and this turned out t be the only place we went in lol.

The bus trip home prooved weird too, mostly by a group of pele who think its funny to abuse the hair and call my parents black, oh yes of course because everyone who looks like me has black parents dont they lol, anyway this resulted in a lot of verbal banter and them woosing down.

Next was Haloween, and the dress code although was meant to be scary, was more a case of, its not scary but we will pretend it is lol, the night finished earlier than planned however.

Last wednesday was my sisters 21st and that same day me, Steve and Andy went to Southampton to partake in lothes shopping, myself buying 3 t-shirts and a white belt in Republic for £53, a nice shirt to wear out in Matalan for £7 and a nice pair of jeans with a white belt in T K Maxx for £20, so now looking a bit more stylish lol.

However the next couple of days were far from exciting, thursday morning became with a terriable pain in a certain place, nw ive had this pain before and has always ubsided as did this one, but its very disconforting and leaves you nearly unable to move, that evening i went to my GP for answers, this resulted in examination and being referred the next day to Urology in St Mary's in Portsmouth, this i was not convinced by, the GP said this could be a case of Torsion, and the hospital said it was an infection, this i dont believe because infections dont desipate in 6 hours.

Anyway i disagreed and said i wanted more, in the event it was torsion, injections were made and this was agony, lets just say needles arent meant to go there lol, pins were inserted to prevent further movement, an ultrasound is required on Thursday for more analysis.

You have probably guessed where this happened, and if your looking at this laughing, then you are extremely immature, this is serious and plus if it happened to you i wouldnt laugh, so why should you at me.

Many questions were asked as to whether it could be an STD, this is impossiable as im not sexualy active, so that of course lead to more confusion.

Anyway thats about it for this entry, sorry if ive grossed you out or anything

Until Next Time

Wii Fit

2008-10-19T15:23:00.002+01:00

I've decided to use Wii Fit on a regular and daily basis.

If anyone doesn't know, Wii Fit is one of the latest titles from Nintendo for the Wii, combined with a balance board, you can do a variety of yoga poses, muscle workout, aerobic and stamana workouts, and games to help your balance.

Upon first use you are required to do a body test which will show your centre of gravity, Body Mass Index (BMI) and the age your fitness accumulates to, Wii Fit is a massive success in the UK since it's arrival in Late April this year.

The main reason im using this is to help achieve a more toned body and to strengthen muscles, im not planning to loose weight through doing this, im combining all the features but mainly Yoga to help relax and stretch muscles and muscle workouts to help stretch and strengthen muscles.

The plan is to use Wii Fit for around 30 mins everyday, i assure you its can be tiring and can easily cause sweat, i advise you to administer deodrant once finished lol.

I've been doing this for roughly a week and the BMI is very slowly decreasing, 19. somethng im currently on, of course it takes more than a few days to see results, ive also shown it to a group of my friends and now they all want one, even though most of them dont have a Wii.

Well thats it for this entry, im going to Southampton to see friends on Wednesday and will probably there for a bit as my family are seeing people they met on a cruise from near Cardiff and ive been kicked out of my double bed, hmmpphh not fair lol

Until Next Time

Better Best Forgotten

2008-10-13T10:28:00.002+01:00

Im referring to certain recent events.

This perticular event involves a girl who thinks she can mess me around and blame me, and even tried showing all this in a massive argument, well unfortionatly for her she failed, has been blocked and deleted, and all feeling have been erased.

Now life can return to normal, trying to find a job, and a girl of course lol, its early days at this time but several applicatons have been sent and im awaiting to hear anything.

I cant remember if i have mentioned it, but i will anyways lol, as of September i am now mobile again, after the accident im now back on two wheels, this bike although made by the same company, is of much better quallity, the price and the ride speak for themselves. It's a Raleigh AI20, it's either 21 or 24 gears i havent used them all yet lol, front suspension, finished in shiny black, the gears are used on a clicky system with flappy padels, below is a picture of it.

Well thats it for this entry, wondering what can happen soon, well, i dont know lol

Until Next Time

Gaining & Loosing

2008-10-07T17:50:00.002+01:00

First of all, appologies for the gap in entries, rather a lot has happened and changed.

It first started with meeting up with a girl Danielle, at first things seemed great and culdnt be faulted, a few days later i attended an interview at South West Trains in Basingstoke for a job, 25 mins after leaving Basingstoke i was informed i had the job, things are going great right?.

Unfortionatly this is where things begin to turn on their heads, after numerous discussions with Dani it was decided our relationship should end, this was based on several factors which i won't discuss on the internet, the next day i attneded my pre-employment medical in London, this meant getting the 7.51 South West Trains service from Portsmouth & Southsea to London Waterloo.

The medical didn't go as i had anticipated, after rudly being cold i have a form of colour blindness and basically crap sight, i was told i would be notified of results, to this day im still awaiting a response, so what i had was ripped from me within 24 hours.

Going up to 20 days ago i recieved an e-mail from Dani appologising for recent episodes, me being a softy i forgave her and we were together again, we even had a romantic night along Southsea Tuesday night, things seemed great unfortionatly the hand of whatever interviened and forced things off track, i wont go into details again but i couldnt take the situation and decided it should end.

For the last 24 hours i have felt nothing but guilt and sadness, you as a reader probably think im an absolute t@#t for what i did, and to be honest im not proud of it, as i have probably made her feel a million times worse and im sorry for that. i have been where she is now and i know its hard, but please Dani if you are reading this, please get it sorted out, i know you dont feel you can, but trust me, it will be worth it.

Take out all the unfortionate sections and you would think i was in my prime, well i would be if the nagatives hadnt happened, i realy fancy this girl, but having had depression recently myself, i felt sad when she was sad, i just wish depression was non existent, then everything would be fine.

Oh well, hopefully something good will happen, and remain in place for a good amount of time, in a way i want my Dani back.

Until Next Time

Florida, September 2008

2008-09-18T11:59:00.002+01:00

Sorry it's late, been rather busy since ive been back in the UK., the holiday was amasing, here is what happened.

The holiday started back on the 30th August with us going to Gatwick Airport, we checked into Virgin Atlantic flight VS027 to Orlando, we checked into our Premium Economy seats, yeah go us lol, eat breakfast at Frankie & Benny's and boarded our flight, of course being premium, you are offered champaigne as soon as you sit down.

Our flight time was 8 hours and 38 mins and the bordom showed after roughly 5 hours, we started by flying over Brighton, Chichester, Portsmouth, Gosport, Southampton and Bristol, then flying over Cork in Southern Ireland, the next bit of land we hit was New Foundland in Canada, we then flew over Boston, New York, Washington, The Carolinas and finally Florida. The food was quite interesting, what looked off putting turned out to be quite tasty, of course this was consumed with alcaholic beverages lol.

We landed at 4.25PM Local Time, (9.25PM UK Time) passed customs, got the car and arrived where we wer living at roughly 6, the villa was immense and very luxurious, pictures of which can be found on Facebook.

The next day we went to SeaWorld, me and steve went on Kraken, a big rollercoaster, Atlantis, which is like a log flume but not a log boat lol, The Wild Arctic Simulator broke down whilst on it, and saw some funny shows including Clyde & Seymour, and the Dolphin and Killer Whale shows, that night we met up with my sister and her boyfriend as they flew out the day after we did, we went to Epcot and i showed steve Test Track, Disney's fastest and longest ride, we also watched Illuminations, Reflections of Earth which is an amasing firework show.

The next day we went to Disney's Typhoon Lagoon which is a water park set in a tropical paradise, it hsts the world biggest wave pool with waves ranging from 6 to 8 feet high, burns did occur here, but this was the back my arms so no real wory.

Tuesday wen went to Disney's Animal Kingdom, personally this is my least favourite but still has a few good things in it, The Lion King Show, Everest rollercoaster, Countdown To Extinction and some good river rapids.

Wednesday we went to Disney's Magic Kingdom and went on Splash, Thunder and Space Mountain, personally Space Mountain in Paris is better lol, we did some other things including the laughing floor which wasnt funny, it was so bad in fact it broke down halfway through, thank god, me and steve then got the monorail to Epcot, we did Honey I Shrunk The Audience which is a 3D Show, we all met up later and went on Soarin, this ride is amasing, purly because of its effects and realism, your in a hand glider flying over California, you can even smell pine and orange trees.

Thursday we went to Busch Gradens in Tampa, i conkered my fear and did Sheikra, a 200 foot vertical drop rollercoaster, video can be found on Facebook, we also did the Kumba and Montu several times, we did a majority of the rides in Busch, this is personally one of my favourite parks.

Friday we went to Disney's Hollywod Studios and did rides such as Star Tours, MuppetVision 3D, The Tower Of Terror which steve loved, the Rock n Rollercoaster and the Backlot Tour, that night we went back to Epcot and did most things we already did including walking around The World Lagoon, which hosts 11 countries including the UK, with an english pub, The Rose and Crown and a Yorkshire style fish and chips bit.

Saturday we went to Aquatica, SeaWorld's new water park, having never been there before we didnt know what to expect, there were few good things in here including a massive playing thing with buckets that get people drowned.

Sunday we went to Universal, both theme parks here, unfortionatly in Islands Of Adventure, half the stuff wasnt working, Jurrasic Park broke down, we went on the Hulk, Pasidon's Fury and a few other things including Spiderman, we then went into the Studios where we did Terminator 2 3D, Twister, Jaws, Disaster, ET, Men In Black and The Simpsons Ride.

Monday we went to The Kennedy Space Centre, here we saw the next shuttle Atlantis already on the launch pad for its launch next month, we did the new shuttle launch experience and looked around on he up close tour including the Saturn 5 centre for anyone who knows this stuff.

Tuesday we returned to the Magic Kingdom and Epcot, did most of the rides and purchased some ride photos.

Wednesday we went to Blizzard Beach in Disney' here i showed steve the sneesing house which gets you wet withice cold water, we also did Summit Plummit, i finally id it lol, unfortionatly 5 mins later the park was closed due to thunderstorms from Hurricane Ike.

Thursday we returned to Busch Gardens and once again did most of the rides, including putting 25 cents into machines and getting people soaked on the river rapids, you could do that all day lol.

Friday we finished everything in SeaWorld and Epoct and watched the fireworks for the last time.

Saturday we went to Downtown Disney to check into Virgin Atlantic flight VS016 to Gatwick, having a massive argument with a rude pain in the arse, we then went to Typhoon Lagoon, this was a realy hot day with temperatures hiting 100'F, after all this we returned to Orlando Airport, dropped off the car, purchased food and i brought some more aftershave for $50.

Our flight left late for whatever reason, unfortionatly the ground air conditioning system failed so warm air from outside was being pumped in, it got so bad people were taking off clothes to cool down, we finally took off and 3 hours into the flight, im guessing around New York we hit major turbulance, were guessing this is from a major storm which lasted roughly 3 hours, we landed at Gatwick at 10.10AM UK Time, we then proceeded home, saddened that our holiday was over.

Sorry this has been a realy long entry, there are loads of pictures of my Facebook if you woud like to see, i will post an entry with what has been happening since ive got home soon.

Until Next Time

The Experience Of Being 18

2008-08-18T21:53:00.006+01:00

Its awesome.

Being 18 is truly awesome, you realise it even more when your 18 for real.

My birthday was Saturday for anyone who didnt realise, unfortionatly my mate Steve didnt get the day off work so i had to deal with that later, i got a new wallet, a new watch, a silver neck chain thing and lots of monies.

The fun started going to my mates in Eastleigh, our plan was to drink before we go out, we did and quite tipsly walking to Southampton Airport Parkway to get the 11.11 train to Southampton Central.

The nights entertainment began is Squares buying my first point, and the very sticky floor in there, but i guess it was free to get in and the bouncer wished me happy birthday, well for the half an hour left of it lol.

We then proceeded to the Walkabout and shocked at the £4 entry price but still paying it anyway lol, there we danced for a while, there were sme fitties in there which was cool, came out and got the bus home which i had to pay for, i assume the bus pass oesnt work at like half 2 in the morning lol.

We then slept for several hours and felt a bit hungover later, So yeah it was a good night, unfortionatly one of our plans didnt work because people didnt have enough money, so they all owe me, oh yeah and they all owe me a drink anyway lol.

Below are a few pictures of the evening, although they can be seen on my Bebo, Facebook, MySpace and now the Tagged link on the left.

Until Next Time

18 At Last!!!

2008-08-16T00:00:00.000+01:00

Thank God lol.

After 18 long and painful years i am now 18 lol. I am finally an Adult lol

The day's events are to get pissed, go clubbing, have fun, and probably do whatever else you can do at the age of 18.

I would write what happened but i probably wont be sober for a while lol, so ill try and post as soon as possiable.

Until Next Time

Looking Back Over The Years

2008-08-15T10:48:00.002+01:00

well that time has finally come round.

After 18 long years and 6 months of agany and jeliousey i am finally turning 18 tomorrow.

This means i can finally do things like go clubbing, buy drinks in the pub, watch 18 movies at the cinem and everything else that comes with beng 18, of course being an adult.

Comparred to what everyone says about being 18 and comparring that to being a child, being a child sucks, sitting in the pub with your rfriends and not being able to drink and do everything else.

To be honest i am glad i am leaving childhood behind.

Although there have been some good points, meeting my best friend in school, going out with Jemma, going on holiday to America several times, the various sporting trips, the nights out in valley park and many other things.

Of course there are bad points, but they shall be left behind and hopefully shall never return, im very much looking forward to my 18th and that nights events, whatever they are lol, all i know is that its in Southampton.

Well thats it for this entry, probably quite a pants review but never mind, at this moment there are 12 hours and 58 mins of being a child left lol

Until Next Time.

Another Catch Up Session

2008-08-11T10:29:00.003+01:00

Lets catch up on everything that hasnt been posted here before

Last monday saw me, Steve, Nathan, Amy, Claire and Luke camping in The New Forest, all i know is the location was somewhere near Lyndhurst, anyway, i soon found out that vodka and an empty stomach do not go at all, this resulted in me loosing memory of that night and sickness, and the next day feeling like crap lol, this also resulted in me being bitten to buggery by mosquitos, even a week later there still here, not as bad as they were though.

I have finally sorted out my travel insurance for my holiday, costing me nearly £50 but then that is for 12 months, so im covered until the end of August next year.

Friday resulted in Me, Max, his parents and other members of his family travelling to Thorpe Park, now the last time i went there as August 2005, but this time we managed to do a lot more, Nemesis Inferno was done 3 times, Colossus was done once, would have been twice but it broke down while we were in the queue, We did other things as well like the fish and some other random things, but the first ride i was dragged onto and partly by my own disicion, Stealth!.

Stealth is Thorpe Park's newest coaster, you are launched out of the station from 0-80 mph in less than 2 seconds, 1.8 to be exact lol, you are then hurtled up a 205 ft hill where you go over the top and fall to earth, overall the ride last roughly 25 seconds, but the ride is epic, Max finally plucked up the courage to go on it, his words comming off it were "that was awesome", a ride photo was purchased as evidance and because the looks on our faces are priceless, we also got on the front, below is a picture of the photo.

On this perticular occasion, the train did not launch when it was suppose to, so it was more of a shock when we were finally launched, so that explains the loks on our faces lol.

Well thats about it for this entry, im 18 this Saturday and already the day is looking grim, as my mate decided to leave it until the last minute to book time off work and wasnt allowed it, if i were you Steve i would pull a sickie, wer still going out at night though thank god lol

Until Next Time

Blogging Here For 1 Year

2008-08-07T16:07:00.000+01:00

This is exacly 1 year, even to the minute lol

The moment this entry was published, marks the 1st year of this blog being online on blogger.

I can remember starting this blog, as i had a older blog on a different system, and finding Blogger via a blog on here made me make the switch lol.

If anyone wishes to read my previous blog, which i believe ended on the 7th August 2007 i think, the link is here.

This is by no means the end of blogging, although recently not much has been posted here, the blog shall continue until i gets to the point where i cant be bothered anymore, but that shouldnt be anytime soon lol.

Until Next Time

18 In 10 Days

2008-08-06T18:59:00.002+01:00

The wait is nearly over.

The joys of being 18 are now 10 days away, thats 240 hours lol, its still a while to wait, and ive been waiting long enough.

I will finally be able to socaillise in locations such as night clubs, pubs and bars, there is also of course buying alcahol anyway lol.

I know this entry was random, but its not everyday you approach your 18th, so i thought this deserved an entry.

A full update will appear in the next few days.

Until Next Time

The Cinematic Month

2008-07-29T11:38:00.002+01:00

This has been a month of visiting the cinema.

Well it is for me, because i hadnt been to the cinema for a while, and this month involved seeing some good films.

The first was Hancock at VUE in Portsmouth, this was a pretty good film considering i wasnt sure what to expect, it does like most films have its funny and interesting moments.

The next film was Wall-E at the ODEON in Southampton, again only seeing a trailer i didnt know much, but this is a realy good film, some might think its weird but the story is quite intreging and there are quite a few funny moments in it, i would recommend seeing it if you havent already.

Third was The Dark Knight at the ODEON in Southampton again, now i'll admit at this point, i have seen the films previous to this one, but we are going back a while so i had to try and remember things, this was the great film and the only complaint was sitting on your arse for 2 and a half hours lol.

There's a story behind this one, and what kind of entry would this be if i didnt tell you, well i did Galball training on Saturday from 4 till 6, and the film started at 8, so i had to get the 6.27 First Great Western from Portsmouth and Southsea to Southampton Central, and a return for £5.40, i got to Southampton Central at 7.10 and went into the ODEON in good timing.

The film didnt finish until 10.50 and trying to get out was a nightmare considering everyone was trying to get into Oceana or however its spelt lol, getting into Southampton Central 10 mins late for the last direct train to Fareham, so i had to wait for the 11.59 South West Trains to Eastleigh, getting there at 0.15, then getting the 0.30 to Fareham, getting to Fareham at 0.47, then walking home getting there at 1.45.

Finally, the last film was one i had already seen, Wall-E, this was at the Appollo in Fareham, considering its only a small cinema it was pretty good, id never been in there before, it wasnt a rip off and the seats were confortable.

Well thats it for this entry, we are now leaving July behind and soon entering August, the onth i finally become 18 and the long awaited holiday.

Until Next Time

One And For All

2008-07-25T16:07:00.002+01:00

Right, lets sort this out, as a comment was recieved a few days ago

Right, its about time someone told u the truth. Weve have all had to put up with your face pickings for 2 years. Now thats over i thnik we are all glad to be rid of ya. firstly that "hmmp" sound we all make was taking the piss out of you! i know u didnt realise. Now im not having a go at you coz ur albino. i have no judgment against the white people. BUT YOU ARE SUMMIN ELSE! The fact that youv'e wrote in this blog that a girl has contacted you is amazing, im surprised a girl can look at you and not puke. Your disgusting! And why do you have to run to people and moan about us all the time!!!! glad i wont be seeing you ever again! one last thing - dont moan when some car knocks you off your bike! It wasnt an attempted hit and run and you probley deserved it. FFS your registered blind and ride a push bike around the main roads and roundabouts. what you expect!!!!!
bye now
xxxxxx
p.s. you dirty ni**er

First of all, i do not pick my face, people are allowed to touch their faces, especially if there is an itch or any irritation.

Second, they stated they have nothing against albinos, but calling them white people, some not me might find that offensive.

Third, i never said i was attractive, the fact they wrote that they were suprised a girl looks at me and doesnt puke, the fact that i dont think im attractive anyway, ive had a girlfriend before surly goes against that theory.

Fourth, its not running and moaning, anyone who felt they were being harrased in any way has the right to inform staff.

Fifth, i never said i was knocked off my bike on purpose, and it is normal to be annoyed when it happens, and although i may be registered blind, i CAN see, a push bike is my ONLY source of transportation apart from public sources, and in case you didnt know, it is ILLEGAL to cycle on a pavement unless there is a cycle lane or otherwised mentioned.

Finally, the fact that you me a "ni**e, you do realise that is racist, therefore Blogger have been informed, and if you think i dont know who you are, i do.

So yeah, this was unexpected, and i shall say this yet again, "people from college, do not read my blog, Dan Sharpe, remove this as your home page and anyone else who has it as their home page or feeds", otherwise i shall have no choice but to persue this, as it is an offence to read material if the author has told you not to do it.

Until Next Time

Thngs Arent Getting Better

2008-07-20T21:06:00.002+01:00

I thought things were inprooving on Saturday, but it appears i was wrong.

Well i was with a girl on Saturday morning, and from previous conversation and texts etc, it would seem we had a strong liking for each other, well this showed in a kiss and being asked out.

Now because of past events this year this put me in a happy mood, even though the train home was cancelled but meh, anyway, whilst Saturday turned out to be great, today (Sunday) was the complete opposite.

I could sense that things werent right by the texts today, everyone does have their off times fair enough, but this was getting worrying, and well you can probably guess the rest.

However i have been in a similar situation, back in May this year, although the story was slightly different it ended in hurt, and other events this year such as a broken wrist and people at college making this year terriable.

I realy thought this was a turning point, comparring this to when i went out with Jemma in June last year, that progressed into good times, now your probably thinking why am i making a big deal out of this, basically its pain, why should i have to go through this, ive never been meant to a girl, ive never cheated, hit, abused or made fun of a girl, anyone who does that is low and demeaning.

Well thats enough moaning for now, youve probably lost interest a long time ago lol

Another Anticipated Update

2008-07-10T14:12:00.002+01:00

This is for everything which hasnt been mentioned.

The parents are back home if i havent already mentioned.

I mentioned a few entries ago that Steve had a girlfriend, well ive met her, and from what i could tell she sems like a nice girl, so he's done well for hmself.

On Tuesday i went out and brought my 18th birthday presents, of course i didnt pay for them lol, i decided on a nice chain that goes around my neck, and also a nice silver watch, ive always wanted some nice stuff like this but couldnt realy afford it.

Yesterday me and Steve went to London again, got the 10.23 from Fareham to Waterloo, took the Northern Line to Leciester Square for lunch, then after stupidly taking us in a circle we headed to South Kensington and went in the Science Museum, because we hadnt been there for years and its free to get in, we then headed back to Waterloo to visit The Namco Station, again lol, Spending i dont know how much money, mainly on the bumper cars, especially when a group of teenagers went on, we felt it was our duty to bash them lol.

College has of course finished properly and the search for work has began officialy, well it actualy began ages ago, this will start with 2 interviews so far, one at Brune Park and the other in Hedge End, im also awaiting the response from a place in Romsey.

To be honest i think thats about it, im struggling to remember what else has happened that i havent mentioned, and im struggling.

Well thats it for this entry if i suddenly remember something i'll put it in the next entry, whenever that will be.

My Wrist Has Healed

2008-07-07T15:35:00.002+01:00

About bloody time too lol.

As of the 13th May i have had to deal with a broken wrist (scaphoid) to be exact, but as of today, i have been given assurance it has been healed.

The removal of the cast was immense, using a spinning drill which tickles when being used, the cast was removed and suprisingly was cleaner than anticipated, unfortionatly this has resulted in the presence of dead skin, which has now been removed i can assure you lol.

The process was done at a hospital which i have never been to, The Royal South Hants in Southampton, with weird members of staff lol, and im now having to deal with a very stiff wrist, but the good is that it has healed and the cast is gone, its just now a case of strengthening it again.

This also marks the 100th post on this blog, so its a good one lol.

Well thats it for this entry, i will post another one as other things have happened, cant be bothered to write them now lol.

The Great Army of the British can now loose in the massive Wi-Fi wars which are no dout imminent.

Another Catch Up Session

2008-06-20T13:50:00.006+01:00

Just thought i would round up everything thats been happening over the last 2 weeks.

College is almost at an end, with only the verification process left for a majority of us, in fact, im writting this entry from one of the computers in room Y103 lol, i finished the course with 86 BTEC points, thats equal to a DDM, which also equals 2 x A's and 1 x B in A level terms, its worth 320 UCAS points, and with the 2 Key Skills, Coms and Number Level 2, i will get 340 UCAS Points.

Im still healing from the collision and am still in this cast until the 7th Jully, what a great day that will be, freedom lol.

I have recently purchased a new pair of trainers, these are K-SWISS, they have dark blue branding on them and feature their "ToungeTwister" feature, please find below a picture of them.

Only a week left until Super Smash Bros Brawl is released on the Wii, what a glorious day, well it would be if i could play it, having a broken wrist and playing games dont go well together.

My Debit card has taken a pounding this month, making many purchases including old games which i have always wanted, purhcasing the trainers for £50 with student discount from SCHUH in Southampton, and also now, the train station will accept my Solo card as payments, so my statement will be crammed lol.

Parents are still on holiday having done a cruise up to and from Alaska, around Vancouver and visiting the rockies, in a week they shall be home.

To be honest that is about it, cant realy think of anything else, if ive missed anything i shall put it in the next entry.

Please find below an image of my trainers

Parents On Holiday, Again

2008-06-05T04:44:00.002+01:00

Yeah its happened again

Like twicelast year, my parents have gone away on holiday and left me behind in the UK, although it was partly my choice too.

They left home at around 4.40AM and now heading to the airport to catch thir flight, im not saying which one for security.

Look what i found on YouTube, i will be seeing this when i go on holiday, its the Flight Safety Video used on Virgin Atlantic, if anyone has seen it before they will know why people like it lol.

Well thats it for ths entry, if there is a gap between entries, its because im not at home, but ill try to keep you informed of everything

1 Year Later

2008-06-01T11:33:00.002+01:00

Where has the time gone.

It's hard to believe but its been exacly 1 year to the day i starting seeing my ex, little did i know tht a cricket match near Brighton would be great for everyone, it was a great day and even though we lost, it was a funny and great day overall.

We went out for a total of 3 months and things ended on 15th September, that means i have been single for almost 9 months its hard to believe that and also time has gone flying past, its a shame as June-August last year was probably the best phase of my life, i miss the times we had, but i learned a long time ago to move on, and i have.

Anyway changing the subject now, i woke up Friday morning and my inital thought was "what the hell am i doing", ive been feeling sad all week because things are going great for some people and shit for myself, but realising this made me feel worse, since then i havent felt low but having said that its only been 2 days.

Steves car broke down i think it was Wednesday, and after buying a starter motor which didnt help, it was revealed the problem was

a flat battery

Which was probably done by either leaving the MP3 Connection on or leaving the ignition n or somethig like that.

The cast comes off 7th July if you werent aware, i look forward to that day with great anticipation lol.

1 year ago my parents were in San Frnacisco and left me and my sister behind for 3 weeks, and this year is no exception, on Thursday there flying to Vancouver to go on a week's cruise around Alaska, and also to explore the rockies in Canada, so this seems to be a repeat of last year, would be good if everything that happened last year happens again lol.

Well thats it for this entry, check out my Roaccutane blog as the pills are on their last week.

May 2008, When Everything Went Wrong

2008-05-28T12:03:00.002+01:00

In short, the worst month of my life, let me explain.

May hasnt been good at all, it first started with seeing a friend from college, that bit was ok, but the next day i was hit with a virus that make me very sick, this was about the 5th, so it was at the start of May.

Things got worse as this person from college lied to me and backstabbed me, and conbined with fainting early Sunday morning i wasnt in the best of moods, this was on the 11th May.

The 13th saw me being hit by a car in Chandlers Ford whilst i was going round a roundabout on my bike, this resulted in a broken wrist and cuts and grazes to the face.

May failed to inproove with other things such as members of my family becommng ill and my best mates brother encountered a nervous breakdown which caused him to dissappear, he has been found which is good but i dont want to close details on here.

around the 23rd May my best mate got himself a girlfriend, whilst im happy for him as hes got somethinghe wanted, i can helpt but feel jeliousy lol, and the fact nothing bad has happened to him in over a year.

On the 24th i returned to Goalball but obveusly couldnt play it, on route using the 1A this bus broke down, whilst it didnt piss me off it was unexpected.

There are other things, but to be quite honest theres no point mentioning them, there bad but small, and you can iagine al this combined.

But if im honest, the last day that was good for me was, my birthday, yeah 16th August 2007, since then very little has happened thats good, and i thought being dumped was a bad thing lol.

Well thats it for this entry, ill stop moaning and let you carry on with what you were doing.

Update On The Accident

2008-05-20T14:38:00.002+01:00

Ill bring you everything i know so far.

It's been a week since the accident and im still all bashed up, i dont look quite as bad as i did, but im still no way healed.

Photos have been taken of me for evidance and clais purposes, i have also had to fill in a police statement which was sent back yesterday.

I have also collected my bike, and to be honest, it was in much better condition than i was expecting, the handlebars were sheered off, theres no damage to the frame, but everything was very loose and rattly, and because of all the trouble that bike has given me, its now in the bin.

Yesterday the stitches were removed from my face with diffculty, today my wrist has been replastered, its blue, pompey!! lol, the main area of my rist which is damaged is called the "Scaphoid", this means i will e in this cast for at least 6 weeks, which could mean having to wait even longer to play Super Smash Bros Brawl.

Tomorrow im going back to college, because ive got loads of work to do and im realy bored at home, although its half term at the end of this week lol.

Well thats it for this entry, find below a slideshow showing things as they stand.

My Accoident Was In The News

2008-05-16T14:29:00.002+01:00

I was in The Hampshire Chronicle on Wednesday following the incident in Chandlers Ford, the article is below, i had to copy and paste it, but try looking it up and you moight find it.

Teen cyclist suffers head injuries following collision in Chandler's Ford

A 17-year-old cyclist suffered head injuries following a collision with a car in Chandler's Ford yesterday afternoon (Tuesday, May 13).

The accident happened just after 4pm at the junction of Bournemouth Road and Chestnut Avenue and police and ambulance services attended. The teenager was taken to Southampton General Hospital for further treatment.

im still at home recovering, slowly lol.

The Day I Was Hit By A Car

2008-05-14T17:49:00.002+01:00

Well actualy it was yesterday lol.

Tuesday 13th May will be a day i would rathr forget, i was meant to be goimg to Steve's in Chandlers Ford, lets just say i never made it.

At roughly 4.01PM i was cycling on the ASDA roundabout in Chandlers Ford, i was in the correct lane to exit the roundabout to go onto Templers Way, however whilst cycling past the Bournemouth Road exit a car came along the outside lane, before you ask i was aware the car was there but was far enough away for me to proceed, before i know it i can see the car right in the corner of my eye and its still moving, the next thing is i felt the car hit me, i was thrown onto the bonet of the car and bounced off landing head first into the road.

Within 2 seconds my entire face was covered in blood, and strangely enough i was hit by a nurse, but she was very appologetic and stayed with me and made sure i was ok, i was taken to Southampton General Hospital where they ran tests and x-rays on my face and wrist.

To my absolute amazment, there were no fractures or broken bones in my head, although there is a nice deep cut which required 7 stitches, unfortionatly my right wrist wasnt so lucky, its broken in 2 different places, and i was also covered in blood,, the next shock was seeing my parents and my best mate and his brother who visited me.

After my wrist was put in a cast and my head was stitched up and the blood removed i was released from hospital at roughly 9.45PM thr same day, i was in there for nearly 5 hours, my left side of my face has 2 massive grazes on it and to be honest i look even more hidious than what i did.

at this current moment i am meant to be finishing my IT course in 6 weeks, now i have to speak everything i want written to soomeone who can type for me, and i probably wont recover for about 6 weeks.

My bike is wrecked and beyond repair, now the police are doing investigations as this coulkd be a case of dangerous driving by the motorist, we are awaiting information from Eastleigh Police and things like claims on insurance.

Well i am now very tired and it has taken me ages to write this, ill keep you informed when i can.

This Is A Nightmare

2008-05-11T07:30:00.005+01:00

and everything is going wrong.

This week has been nothng short of a nightmare and a disaster, allow me to explain.

well from my last entry i said i was ill, im still ill now, and it appears to be a chest infectionan swelling of the throat, and before you ask, no i havent been kissing lol.

This illness is realy making me fel ill, i feel sick, dissy, faint, tired and just overall like crap.

Unfortionatly this shwed and not at the best of times, including at college and on the bus to college.

On Wednesday my 2 hours at college were horriable as i felt so ill and i was sick several times, then i went and saw Marie and Liam, unfortionatly this ended up with me being sunburnt again.

and now the worst part is, whilst on the phone to Marie last night the call was suddenly ended, i swear i did not hang up and i was unable to call her back cos the call wouldnt go through, when the phone finally rang i think she may have got the idea that i hung up on her, this is completely untrue as i would never do that.

In a state of panic and automatic reaction i left 2 voicemail's trying to explain what happened, this was followed by an e-mail, then for some reason i remember walking downstairs, the next memory i have is a guy in a green jacket sticking a needle in my arm, this is weird as i havent got diabetes and im not alergic to anything, after which i felt so shakey and upset.

Well thats it for this entry, quick a dramatic week and i realy hope we turn a bright corner soon.

Until Next Time

The Long Awaited Update

2008-05-06T08:44:00.003+01:00

This is a roundup of whats been happening that hasnt been blogged about.

Although as im writting this im not feeling too well, ive been sick a few times and still dont feel right, although im off to college in a min as i cant afford to loose any time.

On Sunday i met up with a girl from college, Marie, her boyfriend Liam and his brother Haydn, i guess we were pretty much bored so we went to her house and did whatever for about 5 hours, but that was fun lol.

You have probably noticed my entries about my bike, i am currently awaiting its repair and am having to use the bus all week.

Saturday saw me using 3 new bus routes, the 1A from Fareham to Portsmouth City Centre, the 5 from Portsmouth City Centre to Fareham, and as the 88 was a nice bus today, i used that to go from Fareham to Bridgemary, thank the lord for the bus pass for the disabled lol.

My long awaited tax rebate came through on Friday, so i shall be cashing that into the bank today and awaiting my monies, then i can finally pay off everything for my holiday in September.

Can't realy think of what else has been happening, and as im running out of time i shall ed the entry here, if there is anything i have forgotten i shall post it in the next entry, whenever that is lol.

Please find below a few pictures that were taken from Sunday at Marie's house.

Grand Theft Auto 4 (GTA IV)

2008-05-05T10:16:00.002+01:00

My long awaited review of Grand Theft Auto 4, this will be the review for the xbox 360.

Grand Theft Auto 4 was released on Tuesday April 29th 2008, it is the latest in the series and the only one currently on HD consoles.

GTA 4 was released on both the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3, selling 609,000 copies in the UK alone on its first day, i recieved mine on launch day, but had to go to college so therefore had to wait all day to play it lol.

Upon first thoughts the graphics are much better to those previous GTA titles, physics and reaction are also better thanks to the "Euphoria" engine, and of course viewing this through a HDTV can make all the difference.

The missions are fairly similar to those in such as Vice City and San Andreas, starting off by making you familliar with your sorroundings, you also recieve an achievement as soon as the game starts on the xbox 360.

Controls are pretty straight forward, triggers accelorate and shoot, analogue stick moves you etc etc.

The best part i have found so far is the multiplayer, expecially when playing with your friends, party mode can be just as fun as anything else, with vehicles and helicoptors, who couldnt have fun with this.

At the moment i have only played the single player for a couple of hours, but so far am liking what i am seeing, from what i see and hear the good still is still out there lol.

Grand Theft Auto 4 is available on both the xbox 360 and the playstation 3 and retails between £34.99 and £49.99 for the standard and £69.99 for the limited edition, although for PS3 users be aware that there are issues which can cause crashing especially during intro and cut scenes.

Well thats my review of GTA 4, its been given high ratings everywhere and i am aswell lol.

Until Next Time

The Latest On The Bike

2008-05-03T12:24:00.002+01:00

Well this is everything which has happened up until now.

The bike was colected from Halfords on thursday evening and after nearly being charged i rode the bike home, although the gears didnt seem confortable but as a majority was ok i left it to itself.

You may recall in my previous entry that i would ride it to colege and this would probably end in disaster, £100 if you can guess what happened, actualy no thats too easy lol, well anyway i never made it to college with the bike, just after the ASDA roundabout on Newgate Lane, same fault again, the chain becomming jammed and inpossiable to retract, therefore making me an hour and 20 mins late for college as i had to walk home and get the bus.

Halfords were phoned and with absolute disgust i explained to the manager what happened and told them basically i was furious, i was also told a lie that a new brake cable was fitted as a gesture, this isnt true as the brake cable is the same one as as always on there.

So once again i took the bike to Halfords this morning where i explained everything to the manager and the bike was handed over to the bike team, who tested it and although the manager thought there was no problem, a member of the bike staff did, so it has been left with him and is requiring a new driveshaft and freewheel, although this is gonna take a week.

So thats all for this entry, im bikeless again and this time it had better be fixed, otherwise, well...... i donno yet lol.

Until Next Time

More Bike Trouble

2008-05-01T22:07:00.002+01:00

As if i hadnt had enough of it already.

Well you may recall my entry which seemed to suggest that everything was fixed on my bike.

sadly this isnt the case.

Last Saturday afternoon the chain became so jammed in the gears it was inpossiable to unjam it so i had to use a small blade to get it out, although i managed to put the chain back on he gears refused to work correctly.

So as you can imagine it was dragged down to Halfords in Gosport yet again, seems like my new home lol, anyway everything was eplained there and i was asked with the most stupid questions such as how do you put your bike at college.

Anyway ive had to use the bus all week and recieved a phone call to pick it up this evening, so i did on my way home from college.

At Halfords they tried to fob the blame on me as much as possiable, as a gear bracket was severly bent and the gears were out of line, apparently this is my fault, it appears to them that i have dropped my bike from a height, so i was not pleased at all and was nearly charged for its repair which i refused to pay.

Whilst cycling home i thought all was well, however it wasnt as the gears refuse to change properly, causing the chain to start skipping, this is noticed when changing gears and very few of them are working correctly.

Tomorrow im going to attempt to use it to go to and from college, although i can see it ending in disaster, there shall of course be angry complaints made to Halfords by myself and parents, as this has cost fuel money, ive been late to college and goalball sometimes not being able to turn up at all, so of course we shall be demanding an explaination and compensation.

Shame as back in August i thought it was a great bike, well it is a good bike, when it wants to work lol.

Well thats it for this entry, ill round everything up in another entry im too hacked off at the moment.

Until Next Time

A Good And A Bad Result

2008-04-25T20:18:00.003+01:00

This has mainly to do with the check up today.

This morning i went to my check up on Roaccutane at Southampon General, and for once wasnt delayed.

After my dosage intake was calculated, it revealed i had not taken enough of the drug, the average was 120 to 150 mg, i equalled 95 mg, although they were suprised with the progress i had made.

Unfortionatly this means being on 3 x 20mg tablkets a day for 30 days, which throws drinking out the window for another 4 weeks.

On the way home i was listening to Power FM and found out they were at Fareham College, they were there as there doing a competition in which you shake their hands and your in a draw to win £10,000, so i thought what the hell and went there, and met Zoe and Gillies from the breakfast show, shook their hands and was entered into the draw, and i have to say Zoe is quite cute and good looking lol.

For anyone who is a Grand Theft Auto fan, my copy of GTA 4 for the Xbox 360 was dispatched this afternoon and should be with me either tomorrow or Monday, so i will be writting a review on that, also anyone who is wanting Super Smash Bros Brawl, the UK release date is the 27th June.

Well thats it for this entry, back to popping those damm pills again lol.

Burning Lots Of Doovde's

2008-04-24T08:11:00.002+01:00

that means DVD's for people who havent watched Fonejacker.

If anyone is wondering why i havent said anything on Windows Live, its because i've been burning and making loads of DVD's, im talking over 100 of them, and the burner doesn't favor me as it uses all my RAM and Processor power, therefore leaving me with a computer going at a crawl when trying to do something else.

So yeah thats my reason, hopeully this all shouldt take too much longer, i hope so as i dont like doing it, ive just burnt all of South Park series 1-10 and hav loads more to do.

Well thats it for this entry, just a wuick update as to the current situation.

Roaccutane Course Complete

2008-04-17T19:26:00.002+01:00

As of today I have finished my 4 month course of Roaccutane.

It's been long and sometimes quite tricky but I have completed it, without missing a single day, head over to £My Roaccutane Experience" the link for this should be over there on the right.

You may recall my entry last night which sounded like i was quite annoyed because my bike refused to work correctly, well today is a different story.

The bike was returned to Halfords in Gosport, where upon examination the chain was found to be loose, this was tightened and i was asked to tke this for a test ride, this helped but overall did not rectify the problem, the skipping was just less freequent.

Returning to Halfords i was served by i guess one of their more experienced staff, i explained the situation and he rode the bike round the shop, this alone was quite amusing, but he too noticed the problem, upon fiddling with the chain and gears to no avail, he decided a new flywheel should be installed, this was about a 10 minute job whilst me, him and another member of staff discussed Mario Kart Wii lol.

Upon fitting the new Flywheel and testing it, this seemed to rectify the problem completely, i even rode from Gosport to Fareham and back home and the bike didnt skip once, this is roughly a 10 mile ride.

So yeah i guess thats it for this entry, just a quick round up of whats been happening today.

Until Next Time

I'm Getting Sick Of This

2008-04-16T20:28:00.002+01:00

I am referring to something which i require in my life.

This would be my bike, you may recall back in August last year that i got a new bike for my 17th birthday, this bike was a 2007 Raleigh Tundra, i was called it a great ride.

Well now im starting to seriously consider if that was the right thing to say, the bike is roughly 8 momths old and has already been through 4 chains, my previous bike, a 2002 Raleigh Dorado never had this fault in it's 5 year life, the brakes on the Tundra also wear quicker and gears 4 through 7 seem to not change.

Last Saturday i was meant to go to Goalball Training in Portsmouth, well i kind of never made it, this was because the chain snapped again, the bike was returned to Halfords in Gosport on Monday where they said they would replace the chain and examine for faults, i collected the bike later that day and was told no faults could be found, however riding home the chain freequently skipped and the pedals slipped several rotations.

After fiddling with and altering the gears i wasn't able to make the situation any better, and even tonight i was only able to cycle half the distance i normally would when i go out in the evening, personally i dont feel safe cycling it and could even consider the bike to be a hazzard.

The bike shall be returned to Halfords in Gosport yet again and demanded that ALL problems are rectified, mainly because i rely on my bike to go places especially college

Well thats about it for this entry, its a shame so much s@*/ has to become involved with my life, just wish things were more simple, everyone else seems to get it easier than i do.

2008-04-13T23:14:00.004+01:00

The day has come, well it came a few days ago lol.

Friday 11th April saw a great day for UK and European gamers, the release of the long awaited Mario Kart Wii, the 6th game in the series, and what an inpression.

The game requires a small Wii System Update which it perform when you put the disc in for the first time, also creating your profile within the game.

But overall its a great experience, the emnus are very simple and easy to use, a great selection of characters and tracks, including several classics from the SNES, N64, Gamecube and DS versions and some new exclusives.

The game can also connect to Nintendo Wi-Fi and play with people from all over the world, this also is a great experience and doesnt require a super fast broadband connection or registration.

Included with the game is a Wii Wheel, which the Wii Rmote can house into, therefore giving you a stering wheel, using the WiiMote's motion senses, you can use the steering whell as you would in a car, this is amazing, and comes free with the game, you can also play the game with the Virtual Console Controller, Gamecube Controller or just the WiiMote and Nunchuck, all for £34.99 in he UK.

I was fortionate enough to recieve Mario Kart Wii the day before launch thanks to play.com and their fast shipping combined with Parcel Force, so thank you to them for their great service.

Below is a video of the amazing fun we had on Mario Kart Wii, i warn you now this video is 18 and a half minutes and will require a superfast connection lol, but we hope you enjoy it.

The Spinnaker Tower

2008-04-09T12:58:00.003+01:00

I have finally been up there lol.

Yesterday me and my mate Steve were bored so we decided to drive to Gunwarf, and first of all see a a film to kill some time, the film was DrillBit Taylor, wasn't sure what to expect but it was quite funny and overall an allright film.

Next we advanced to the tower, paying about £6.20 each (ripoff lol), we went on all areas of the tower including the glass floor, and on a clear sunny day seeing The Isle Of Wight, Gosport, Southsea, Fort Nelson, and could have seen The New Forest and Southampton if we had good enough eyesight lol.

Below is a video showing our pictures and video from the tower, it's not the best editing in the world but there you go lol, this is a big cideo for some reason and is strongly advised you have a broadband connection in order to watch it, i warn you the video was taken with a camera phone, so its not great quallity lol, the pictures are good though lol.

Until Next Time

It's Snowing On The South Coast

2008-04-06T10:36:00.006+01:00

Now that is extraordinary lol

For however long probably many years the south coast of england woke up to snow, everywhere was covered and it was still snowing when i woke up at around 8.30.

As i am writting this there is still snow outside, but it has stopped snowing and seems to be subsiding, the point is, the south coast hardly ever get's snow or it's just that slushy stuff, the last time i remember my area getting snow like was in 1997.

And just to proove it all, below are a few pictures of where i was lol

Until Next Time

It's The Easter Holiday's

2008-04-05T16:15:00.002+01:00

This is more of another catch up session.

To be honest, apart from seeing Steve and Andy on Wednesday, and driving to Southampton, there isn't much more to mention.

I have recently had some of score from my college course, although all of it is still not added up and im having to assume some of my results, at the moment if i dont inproove anything, i will hit my target grade of MMM (Merit x 3), which is the middle grade, however with a few inproovments which shouldn't take long, the result can be put up to either DMM or DDM (Distinction and Merit x 2) or (Distinction x 2 and Merit), either ne of these will please me as it's higher than my target grade, and it will be either 280 or 320 UCAS Points, not a lot of use to me as im not going to University lol.

Oh and theres the fact my parents are getting up my arse again, they still fail to realise it's very difficult to find a job let alone get one, and stating that you have a Visual Inpairment is probably the last thing an enployer would want, after recently working with IT Services at Fareham College i realy enjoyed the experience and am wanting to do this as a job, so this is my next aim lol.

But yeah my parents are constantly getting up my arse, it's getting to the point where i want to move out, however there are 2 big obstacles in my way, 1, i havent got enough money, and 2, i don't want to move out on my own, and that so far would be my only choice, so unfortionatly im rather stuck.

Well that's it for this entry, i see there are probably loads of fans at Wembley trying to get home using the train, bad idea as there's a signal box fire at London Waterloo and everything is severly disrupted with Waterloo being closed.

Until Next Time

A Week I'd Rather Forget

2008-03-27T18:41:00.004Z

I'll start with the possitives which occured over the last week.

You may remember me mentioning that my best friend Steve, brought a new car, well on Monday he was put to the test of driving from Valley Park to Fareham, its roughly 17 miles and involves using the M27 for roughly 12 miles, i have to say he drove exceptionally, he is a careful driver who is always aware of his sorroundings, he was also tested by riving around Lee, Gosport, Fareham and Titchfield at around 9PM, it was a pleasure being driven by you.

At the bottom of this entry is a picture of his car, it's a second hand Ford Fiesta 1.3 litre petrol, it's in pretty good condition apart from a few scratches, but it runs well.

To be honest, thats the only possitive, the negatives now follow.

It started on Good Friday, i was awaiting a message from someone regarding seeing them over easter, a response never came, several other mishaps happened during the week, for some reson this hit home and caused a moodswing, i found myself feeling quite low over the weekend, i mean, is it normal to walk to Stokes Bay and back during 11 PM and 2 AM, its roughly a 7 mile trek and it was bloody freesing lol.

This week has been better, being informed of getting my 3rd distinction this year, even maz marked my work stating there were no mistakes, thats a miracle lol, and the other assignment "HCI" or Human Computer Interface is a good unit, im taking an interest into it.

Unfortionaly i was recently informed of a development which has now fallen flat on it's face lol, although to be honest this isn't anything new, but meh lol.

Well thats it for this entry, admittingly this week could have been worse, well the moodswing kind of topped it lol. Please find below the picture of Steve's car.

Until Next Time

Windows Vista Service Pack 1

2008-03-22T15:37:00.002Z

It has finally arrived in the public domain.

Windows Vista's first service pack has been in development since Vista's launch at the end of January 2007, and was released on Tuesday i think.

However it's not a straight forward as this, during its final stages Microsoft found several hardware failures, if you are unable to get SP1 at this time, chances are you have a piece of bad hardware, and SP1 will be made available to you from Mid April.

The Service Pack can be obtained through Windows Update, which is the best methood as then you will only download what you need, anything from about 65MB upwards.

Now onto the Service Pack itself, unlike SP2 for Windows XP, SP1 for Vista doesn't realy contain any big features, it's main purposes are performance and compatabillity fixes, adding a huge number of drivers into it's system and fixing several software issues.

Performance has also increased, it can be mainly noticed in tasks such as copying files between locations and drives, and also on many other tasks, you will also notice the search button on the right side of the start menu has been removed, support for DirectX 10.1 and a few other tweaks.

To be honest, there isn't a huge amount of changes, as i said there aren't realy any big features apart from compatabillity and performance, security updates are included but no drastic features, you may wonder whether it's worth updating, but it is, purly because of performance and compatabillity overall.

The installation will take anything from 30 minutes to 2 hours, for me it took about 35 mins and the install was flawless, the advice is to update so our ready for whatever is thrown at us next lol.

Well thats it for this entry, my review of Windows Vista Service Pack 1.

Until Next Time

Yet Another Catch Up Session

2008-03-21T21:10:00.005Z

I couldn't think of a better title lol.

I'm trying to remember whats happened since Monday, and to be honest i don't think it's much.

Tuesday was just a boring day at college, so was Wednesday, although i did go to Steve's for a bit as i hadn't seen him for nearly a month, i was treated with a ride in his car, and although it is nearly 10 years old, to be honest it's not a bad car, i mean it get's done what needs to be, all it needs now is a descent stereo and sorting of the scratches, i'll upload a picture when i get one.

Thursday can be referred to in my previous entry, which followed the rest of the day as bordom.

Friday, in other words today, is Good Friday, one reason for me, i have a new bed, it's not quite a Double, but it's bigger than a Single, well if i'm honest, it's only new to me, as it was my sister's and her boyfriends bed before they got a new one, so i was given this one, i've only slept in it once, alone lol, you can find a picture of the bed in my room to the side there.

Well thats about it for this entry, can't think of much else lol.

Until Next Time

A Suprise At Fareham College

2008-03-20T16:52:00.002Z

This realy was a suprise, to everyone at the college.

Asi i got the 31 bus into college at about 8.40 ish, i was greeted with the sight of students outside everywhere, this suggested the fire alarm had gone off.

Indeed it did, due to a power surge in A block, which then ignighted, causing a fire to occur, however it couldn't be seen from the outside, after the fire alarms were reset something like 7 times we were finally allowed in, well everyone except those heading to A and B block, i was in Y block so unfortionatly it didn't affect me.

However this was the beginning, as traffic by the college along Bishopsfield Road was at a standstill for something like 20 mins after all was cleared, this meant students and lecturers were late, including one of mine, after she finally showed up we were told the whole Fareham Network was down (and it's still down now even at 5PM).

As i'm an IT student this made it inpossiable to do any work, also the fact half the college didn't have any power and all the phones and the exchange was knocked out because of the surge, with everyone getting annoyed we were cleared from college, so a free day off, especially as Thursday's are my longest days.

Well thats it for this entry, Fareham College's moment of glory lol, my next entry will bring everything up to date.

Until Next Time

What Happened This Weekend

2008-03-17T17:16:00.002Z

Well it's been an eventful few days, let's recap over what happened.

Friday night was pretty boring as nothing happened lol.

As the F1 Season started this weekend i decided to watch it, LIVE, let me remind you it was in Australlia, so it was on at like 3AM UK Time lol.

The original plan was for me to meet up with someone on Saturday, this had to be changed to Sunday for several reasons, this meant me not attending Goalball in quite some time.

Saturday was made worse by getting prank calls from idiots at college, this is about the 20th i've recieved from them, and quite frankly it's getting on my wick, it has to have been the most peuthetic and worst prank call i've had as it just fell apart, with abuse of my appearence thrown in.

Sunday started by me watching the Grnd Prix at 3.30AM, going back to sleep when it finished, waking up at about 11, me being bored at this point i played on my 360 and unlocked some achievments in Halo 3, half past 2 my phone goes off saying do i want to meet up, me saying yes they came round my house for a few hours.

Not to embarras this person but it is someone i havent seen or talked to properly in nearly 8 years, so seeing her was a bit of a shock because of how long its been lol, i have to say i think she was very atractive lol.

Monday started with me seeing this girl gain as she got the bus to college, i needed to go to Fareham to visit the Vodafone store, as i have had the same number for 5 years, i was rewarded, not sure why i had to go to the shop for that reason but never mind lol, then that followed by me going to the dentist and being told i have good teeth lol.

Well thats it for this entry, an eventful weekend in short lol

Until Next Time

What's Been Happening Recently?

2008-03-13T20:44:00.003Z

Well it's been a while since my last entry, so here is a round-up.

As you may recall, i posted an entry about some member of my IT class, it's been roughly a week or so, and still no change, so no more to say on that.

Today i recieved my UCAS Card, but as im not applying for University, it doesn't realy seem useful, that is until you see the discounts you can get from it, one of my favourites is 5% off everything on Play.com, well at least it's saving money lol.

Yesterday i attended another job interview, this one was at Currys in Portsmouth, the position was a member of the Sales Team, in other words, me telling you to buy this item lol, they seemed inpressed with my knoledge, especially the fact i've done 2 weeks experience at IBM Hursley in 2005, there are 7 available so hopefully one will be mine, just awaiting response from Currys.

Im expecting a response soon from HM Revenue & Customs regarding my tax rebate, they had better send it soon, all £157 or they will be trouble lol.

I think thats about it for this entry, if there's anything i've forgotten, i shall post it in the next entry, whenever that maybe lol.

Until Next Time

Bully, Scholarship Edition

2008-03-07T09:06:00.003Z

This will be a review of the game for the Xbox 360.

Bully Scholarship Edition, or Canis Camen Edit as also known in the United Kingdom, is a re-make of the original game which was first released on the Playstation 2 in October 2006, this re-make is also available on the Nintendo Wii.

Released on the 7th March (today) in Europe, i was fortionate enough to get the game yesterday, i have to admit i have only played it for a couple of hours, as strangely enough my life doesn't revolve around video games lol.

From what i have seen so far, the game is quite inpressive, the visuals and graphics are definitly an inproovment over the original, the controls are pretty good as well, takes a little while to get use to but then so does every new game.

But as usual with any game, there are its down sides, and with Bully, that is the loading screen, every gamers hatrid about games lol, and with Bully, this is no exception, at first, you see a loading screen for roughly 30 seconds, and changing levels invole a loading time of around 7 seconds, whilst this might not seem like a while, gamers hate it lol.

Bully is rated as a 15 by the BBFC in the UK for both the Xbox 360 and the Wii, i havent had a chance to play the Wii version, both are available for roughly £29.99

Well thats it for this entry, my review of Bully so far lol

To Members Of BND2

2008-02-27T20:41:00.004Z

This is a message to those of BND2 IT GRoup at Fareham College.

I am getting sick of you lot constantly saying Virgin Media is crap, your evidance is inconclusive and does not proove anything, also none of you are on Virgin Media, so you can't comment there.

As i know you lot spy on my blog the whole time you should get this, also as i have said before i don't want you reading this, i don't like the fact of you reading my personal affairs, i find it quite freaky and also think its stalkish, so show a bit of descency.

You should also be aware i am on medication, not for stress, but for acne, and a side effect of this is mood swings and increased levels of stress, so have some respect for people and show a bit of maturity for yourselves, i am talking to you Adam, Rob K, Mike, Dan S and anyone else arguing, if you do not stop, then i shall get the college involved and as it's an issue related to medication, i shall make sure it is taken seriously and not ignored.

Sorry to those people who were expecting a different story, but enough is enough and this has to be stopped.

The South West Trains Assesment

2008-02-21T19:20:00.002Z

What a weird day in short.

My day started by waking up at 6AM, getting the 7, 85 bus from Bridgemary to Fareham, walking to the train station, catching the 7.54 South West Trains service to London Waterloo, arrived at Basingstoke at 8.45, a few mins late because of a points failure at Eastleigh, got to the Assesment centre on time.

Then the waiting game began, we waited 40 mins before anything started, then we were explained the basics of the job, then we were given the first test, which consisted of reading passages and then answering questions about them, doing 25 questions in 8 mins is quite challenging, these test were then marked and the people who passed continued onto the second test, and i was one of those who passed.

The second test was a case of looking at examples of tickets, and then answering whether they were valid or not for whatever reason, this was 50 questions in 8 mins, i managed to get up to 37, but again i managed to pass.

Now this is the part where things fell apart, i was called into the office assuming i had failed, i was told i had passed, but was unable to proceed because of my age, apparently you have to be 18, funny as there was no mention of this on the application or job description, so this left me walking back to Basingstoke station and waiting for the train.

I boarded the 12.00 South West Trains Service to Portsmouth Harbour, but arranged to meet up with Steve, so instead of allighting at Fareham, it was Eastleigh, we decided to go to Southampton, so we got the 14.19 South West Trains Serivce to Salisbury and allighted at Southampton Central, we then proceeded to look around the shops, i ended up buying The Simpsons Series 7 to carry on with my collection, we went to Sega Park and went on OutRun 2 and Mario Kart 2, and a bit of Air Hockey.

When we were done we headed to Southampton Central, but as we were heading on the bridge to platform 1, we were informed of a platform alteration, onto platform 2, good thing we were where we were as hoards of people bundled onto our train.

But i couldnt help but keep noticing a perticular passenger, and it wasnt a girl lol, it was how this passenger was acting, he was pissed and still drinking and carrying god knows how much alcahol, he rolled up a cigarette and smoked it on the train, i also found out he was trying to get to London Waterloo without a ticket, and he was being abusive in general, the guard was found and notified by me as soon as i found him, the passenger was then allighted at Eastleigh, where i noticed him again as i got onto my train (the 17.31 South West Trains Service to Portsmouth Harbour), but didnt see him afterwards.

After getting to Fareham and arriving at the bus station busses kept terminating and going out of service, i finally got the 18.10 85 service to Gosport via Bridgemary and got home at roughly 6.40.

Well thats it for this entry, sorry it was such a long essay, and unfortionatly the right result wasn't obtained, but i still cal it a good day anyway lol.

Until Next Time

Steve's 18th Birthday

2008-02-20T09:49:00.002Z

Only another 6 months to wait for me.

On Monday our friend Steve left his childhood years and became a man, well in age terms lol, that means now you will probably find him in every pub, strip and night club lol, now i was invited to go, unfortionatly due to a reaction with the Roaccutane and the fact i couldn't drink, it seemed best if i wasn't there, i'll explain this more in my Roaccutane blog.

Tomorrow is my interview with South West Trains in Basingstoke, i have to say im looking forward to it, but also nervous at the same time, mainly because the interview stage is a panel, meaning being assessed by more than one person, but i'll let you know how it goes.

Today has been quite annoying already, mainly because i was woken by my father, given the fact it's half term and i wanted to lay in i wasnt inpressed, im being blaimed for being laxy when apparently he had to answer the phone and the door, oh diddums, that makes a change from him sitting on his fat arse.

Also someone else decided to throw a stupid accusation at me for a stupid reason which doesn't justify or proove anything, and the stupid thing is that it was from someone who i've known for several years, for them to think about me in that way was very demeaning and disgraceful, unfortionatly they had to be blocked and removed, shame but it needed to happen.

A friend of mine has also joined the Virgin Media Services, using a 4meg cable connection and all evening and weekend calls free for £25 a month, admittingly thats a fairly high price for what it is, but it provides unlimited downloads, no fair usage or speed caps, as someone at college things Virgin Media cap speed, i havent hard crap like that for years lol.

To be honest this blog has been about other thing's than Steve's 18th, but i got your attention lol, and thats it for this entry.

Until Next Time

It's Valentines Day

2008-02-14T17:44:00.002Z

Well you would have to be pretty stupid if you werent aware lol.

Yeah its valentines day, and as usual to me it was just like a normal day, which is hardly a suprise as if i did get anything, then it would be a complete shock, i've never had a valentine and this year is no exception.

When i say todday is a normal day, i mean people being annoying at college, slagging off everything i have including my service with Virgin Media, let me put it clear for those tards, i'm not the one paying the bill, its £85 for everything (tv including every channel on sky, phone free calls anytime and 20meg broadband), they seem to think it's £85 for just the broadband, and people laughing at me because i sent some love to girls on my bebo, i laugh at one person in perticular as they were rejected by a girl which he spent £51 on.

Anyway, today hasnt been bad for everyone, anyone who has an other half would have no dout felt extremely loved up, so im sure all those people are having a great day.

I also have to mention that my best mate Steve, passed his driving test this afternoon, it may have been his 2nd attempt, but he passed it well, so congratulations to him.

Well thats about it for this entry, a weird valentines day, and i still didn't get the main purpose lol.

Until Next Time

A Weird But Interesting Week

2008-02-08T12:32:00.000Z

A weird title maybe, but i guess it sums it up lol.

I am at college as i am writting this, as i've finished the work with still 30 mins of the lesson left, so i thought i would write on my blog as i havent for almost a week.

On Wednesday, that was an eventful day lol, i had a job test at PC World in Portsmouth, basicaly a test involving reading text and dealing with numbers, well i passed the test and have another interview with them next Wednesday at 4.

Later that day i met up with a friend who i hadnt seen for a few months, we went to The Village Home i think it's called lol in Alverstoke, after a couple of drinks here we walked to Stokes Bay and around the sorrounding area, he then left at around 11.

After leaving him i randomly saw someone who i've known for a few years, he then told me there was a house party not far from there (Western Way to be exact), so we headed there and serious drinking commenced, to be honest i can't remember how much i had drunk, but i know it was a lot, and in short, i was f***ed lol.

For some reason i looked at the clock and noticed it was 4.30 in the morning, realising i started college in a few hours i headed home, i remember cycling past my ex's house at roughly 4.40AM, but not much after that, the next full memory was being at college lol.

This morning i also recieved a letter from South West Trains, asking me to attend an interview for a position i applied for, although the recruitment centre is in Basingstoke, they do provide a free ticket there, thats on the 21st of this month.

To be honest apart from a few small things, thats about it for this entry lol, now im going to make it look like im doing work so i don't get caught, meh i dont care lol.

Until Next Time

A Catch Up Session

2008-02-01T18:37:00.000Z

I think it's time to write about the things that havent been mentioned, im just tryin to remember what lol.

Well apart from spending some money on things, there isn't much to say, but here goes.

You may recall in one of my entries i sid i was going to have a bad week, that was because one of our lecturers was annoying us by claiming she mentioned something about an assignment, which we (the students) disagreed, therefore we refused to do the assignment, although most of us did probably in fear of being failed, turns out that was a good thing, as i thought i had loads of errors in the assignment, turns out there werent any.

Recently i've been using my bike more, and to be honest i dont realy know why lol, but i've started doing roughly an 8 mile circuit in my spare time, the route is from where i live, to Gosport via Alverstoke and back home via Brockhurst, the best part is going down Privett and Stoke Road, as your going with the wind, so you can very fast, that is until you get to the Gosport Bus Station, because there you turn back on yourself, and most of the time your going against the wind from that point, which is extremely annoying, but meh it's fitness and something to do.

Two recent happening have happened, the first is a contact from a photography student in London, and well i guess the rest is self explanatry, however this is still in planning, the other event so far is only a rumor, but im told that someone i went to school with roughly 9 years ago has a liking for me, problem is as i havent seen and talked to them properly since 1999, i can't remember what they look like lol, as i said so far it's only a rumor, so yeah.

Well i guess thats it for this entry, im going to Eastleigh at the weekend, hopefully that will be fun, im sure i've probably missed something, if i remember i will put it in my next entry, whenever that may be lol.

Until Next Time

iPod Classic 80GB Silver

2008-01-26T10:16:00.001Z

As of this morning, i am now the proud owner of one of these lol.

I have to say comparred to my previous iPod Mini 4GB, this one realy does outperform it, and in soo many ways, allow me to explain and compare.

Well first of all, this iPod has 80GB of storage, thats roughly 20,000, my previous iPod Mini only had 4GB of storage, capable of 1,000 songs, the iPod Classic can also play Photos and Videos, something that the Mini couldn't do.

The Interface has changed comparring the two, the Mini doesn't have color and consists of a basic interface, similar to phones made before 2000, the Classic has full colour and therefore has a much clearer sreen and interface, the screen is also bigger to accomodate photos and videos.

Apple never fail to amaze me, and this is no exception, a split screen interface, album art, new search feature and loads of other small differences, the sound quallity is also an improovment comparred to older generation iPods.

Upon recieving the box, i was pretty certain things were missing, but i was wrong, you get the iPod, books, USB Cable, Headphones and a Cradle thing, the only thing you don't get is a copy of iTunes, upon connecting the iPod to the PC and iTunes, i was informed the firmware was out of date, so that was updated fixing some bugs etc.

Overall the iPod Classic is a great product, and anyone looking for a good sized iPod to hold their media should indeed consider this, i have the Silver version, it is also available in Black.

Well thats it for this entry, a review of the iPod Classic 80GB, i shall write another entry during next week to review everything else which has happened, which i haven't yet mentioned lol.

Until Next Time

The Weekend's Events

2008-01-20T16:07:00.000Z

Well im back home from Whiteley.

Although there was a few unplanned events, due to a problem with Virgin Media which my parents couldnt solve, i was asked to come home, but the fault turned out to be a problem at the cable box at the end of our road, which was repaired by Virgin Media as it was affecting everyone on our road.

Then i had to go to Portsmouth to deal with several things, also decided to go to Goalball, almost fell asleep on the train both ways, but remained strong and stayed awake.

The last bit of sleep i had was Friday morning at 6AM, and i was awake until 12.45AM Sunday morning, so thats something like almost 43 hours lol.

Unfortionatly we were unable to finish our video, this was due to me having to leave early, and also we werent able to find bits that we needed, so therefore production has been put onhold until a suitable date can be found.

Well thats it for this entry, i will post an entry soon as i know next week is going to be eventful, and most likely not in a good way lol.

Until Next Time

Doing An AllNighter

2008-01-19T00:30:00.000Z

Yes you did read the title correctly lol.

As i am writting this, i am round a mates house who goes my the name of Max, i am in Whiteley, which is on the northern border of Fareham if anyone dd not know that lol.

As i am writting this max is playing on one of his many guitars, we are attempting to do an allnighter, although we arent quite sure what we will be doing later lol.

We are also planning to perform some random stuff, and then turning it into a movie kind of, although most likely to not hit the box office lol, but it's just for a laugh lol.

I will write a full entry when i return home, which will be at somepoint on Sunday.

Until Next Time

Return To Hampshire Goalball

2008-01-13T18:35:00.000Z

To be honest, that is my week all rounded up lol.

Yesterday saw the return of one of Hampshire Goalball's oldest players, myself lol, I have been playing the sport since Summer 2003, been in several national tournaments and so on lol.

Yesterday was the first time i had anything to do with the sport in 2008, the last time i trained was in October last year because of work which conflicted with the times.

I was suprised with my performance, although 2 high balls i think didnt help, neither did smashing my thumb in the floor, and getting friction burn at the same time, but thats the sacrifice for the game lol.

The rest of the week has been quite dull and boing with very little to mention.

Well thats about it for this entry, if anyone is interested in Goalball, then feel free to visit the Hampshire Goalball website, a link should be on the right side of the page.

Until Next Time

Contract Terminated

2008-01-06T20:04:00.000Z

Unfortionatly i am referring to my employment with Comet.

I went into work on Saturday and was unfortionatly informed that today would be my last day, this came as a bitof a shock as my contract was meant to end on the 13th, i was also told when i first joined Comet that i would be given 2 weeks notice, this did not happen and therefore wasnt informed until the last minute.

Although i did get an appology for the lat information, i am still not satisfied with it, i take into consideration that Comet have made major budget cuts to many stores not just Eastleigh.

As i need to phone up Comet Servics anyway to find out what the heck is going on with my tax and when i will be getting my rebate of £123, i shall also be informing them of the notice i was given and attempt to claim it back as pay, that will equal roughly £116, im also told i will be recieving my untaken holiday as pay too, which equals 24 hours, or 2 weeks pay in other words lol.

Unfortionatly i will have to wait to find out as payday isn't until the 25th, so i have a 2 and a half week wait to comprehend to, and attempt to look for work as well, which most likely won't be easy as most places have most likely kicked out their tempory staff lol.

Well thats about it for this entry, a quick note to say to those who attend Hampshire Goalball training, i should be able to return as of next Saturday (12th), so look out for me then lol.

Until Next Time

The Eye Of The Tiger

2008-01-03T23:47:00.000Z

This is a random entry i know.

Recently i've had the urge to listen to my music more often, im already presented with a problem as my iPod is knackered and can't hold all my music, so when i get paid, i shall be buying a new one, but that won't be till the end of the month sadly.

Meanwhile, find below the lyrics to the song i have been listening to most recently, its the theme from Rocky 3, The Eye Of The Tiger by Survivor.

Enjoy

Until Next Time

Risin up
back on the street
did my time took my chances
went the distance now I'm back on my feet
just a man and his will to survive
so many times
it happens too fast
you trade your passion for glory
don't lose your grip on the dreams of the past
you must fight just to keep them alive

It's the eye of the tiger
its the cream of the fight
risin up to the challenge of our rivals
and the last known survivor stalks his prey in the night
and he's watching us all with the eye of the tiger

Face to face
out in the heat
hanging tough
stayin hungry
the stack the odds still we take to the street
for the kill with the skill to survive...

It's the eye of the tiger
its the cream of the fight
risin up to the challenge of our rivals
and the last known survivor stalks his prey in the night
and he's watching us all with the eye of the tiger

Risin up
straight to the top
had the guts got the glory
went the distance now I'm not gonna stop
just a man and his will to survive

It's the eye of the tiger
its the cream of the fight
risin up to the challenge of our rivals
and the last known survivor stalks his prey in the night
and he's watching us all with the eye of the tiger

The eye of the tiger......
The eye of the tiger......
The eye of the tiger......

Welcome To 2008

2008-01-02T23:41:00.000Z

Appologies for the late start of blogging in 2008.

This is because i have been with my mate Steve since the 29th, we also went to a mates house at New Year, getting pissed mostly on beer and some apple stuff which tasted lush, getting a bit pissed, and mainly doing random things like when people are pissed lol.

New Years Day was spent mostly in bed with a hangover lol, we also did an allnighter on New Year and in general just feeling like crap lol.

Today me and Steve went to Southampton, as we had gift vouchers for HMV and GAME, Steve got The Lord Of The Rings Extended Version and another DVD which i cant remember what it was called lol, i had a £15 GAME Card, but the game i wanted to get, Mario And Sonic At The Olympics wasnt available, so i brought The Sims 2 for the PC for no charge.

2008 overall has started well, so far i have no complaints, but tomorrow ive got to go back to college, theres a complaint lol, hopefully it shouldnt be all that bad, although ill wait and see for the result.

Well thats about it for this entry, hope everyones 2008 has started well, and hopefully this will be a great year.

Until Next Time

Rounding Up 2007

2007-12-29T01:47:00.000Z

As this may possiably be my last entry of 2007, im doing it a few days early.

Whenever a year ends, i for some reason think to myself, what has this been overall, like whats happened, good and bad things, and below is my review of 2007 for me.

2007 started off shit as my Nintendo Wii broke only 6 days into 2007, it was fine getting it repaired, but just the hassle, also people at college were taking the piss out of me a lot juring January, so that was a shit month.

For the next few months, 2007 continued to dissapoint, with rare days holding good events, the next good thing was Barcelona at the end of March, and getting a new Graphics Card and Phone shortly after.

April saw light on my love life, although it ended before it started lol, after finding a girl who liked me and meeting up, we even snogged a bit lol, and after finding out she lied about her age making me almost physically sick.

Until the start of June, not much happend, got pissed a few times, but nothing realy of good memorable times lol, that is until June.

June was one of the best momths of 2007, and even one of the best months of my life, this is because i found a girlfriend, if im honest i fancied her before but never had the nerve to flirt lol, fortionatly luck and fate were on my side and showed at a cricket match in Brihgton and things progressed, July continued to inpress, especially near the end.

The start of August inpressed even more, but sadly began to fade and get worse, i had a great birthday going to London with Steve, Getting a C in my GCSE Maths, and going to Scotland with Steves Family.

September, know as Shitty September for me lol, this saw me getting dumped, i thought it wouldnt affect me as much as i did, i guess thats called love when it ends, but September saw me passing interviews and getting a job at Comet in Eastleigh.

October annoyed me with a broken Xbox 360 and sending it for repair, November was only good for the return of my Xbox 360, and December was good for Christmas lol.

Overall, i rank this year as crap lol, if i was still with my ex, then i would probably call it a good year, but getting dumped made this a shit year, and sorry but the rest doesnt compesate.

Well thats it for this entry, enough of me complaining about 2007, as i said this may be my last entry of 2007, if it is, may i wish you all a Happy New Year, and hope 208 starts off great, thank you to my readers who read the blog and probably wonder why i bother with it lol, i am also aware that im writting this at 2AM, and have to go to work today lol.

Until Next Time, and possiably Next Year

Let The Mad Rush Begin

2007-12-28T16:19:00.000Z

Well actualy no one likes a mad rush, so dont let it begin lol.

Well as everyone was aware on Tuesday it was Christmas Day, and for once i wasn't the first person awake in the house, present unwrapping started at 9 and lasted no longer than 10 mins lol, this included a HDTV which i knew i was getting anyway, some DVD's, Chocolate, Smellies and a few other things.

The TV is awesome lol, watching DVD's and running the Xbox 360 in HD looks amazing, the TV also has built in Freeview, which somehow works thorugh a crappy indoor loop ariel, god knows how lol, but yeah overall it's wow lol.

I went round to Steve and Andy's on Boxing Day, that night saw us going to another friends house and for me meeting his fioncee, we all drank a bit and did stupid games like singing on Singstar, playing TongueTwister and Shirrads lol.

The next day me, Andy, Steve and Jonny went to Southampton, we got the train from Chandlers Ford, we knew it was going to be busy and prepared to leave with nothing lol, fortionatly we all brought something, i was hoping for some wii games but all out of stock, so instead i brought The Simpsons Seires 5 lol, but fortionatly i managed to order the wii games, Mario Galaxy and Rayman Raving Rabbits on the web.

Well thats about it for this entry, quite an eventful week, but has been a good one comparred to others lol.

Hope everyone had a Merry Christmas

Until Next Time

It's Christmas Eve

2007-12-24T19:16:00.000Z

Well it's that time of year again, can't believe it's come round this quickly.

Unless your realy stupid and werent aware, tomorrow is Christmas Day, which use to be full of excitment and joy, somehow at the age of 17 it's not the same anymore, to be honest it lost its fun a few years back.

For the last 2 years ive always had something expensive at Christmas, an Xbox 360 in 2005, a Wii in 2006, and this year, a HDTV, i've always wanted one, it's better on my eyes, it's much clearer, has freeview, and its bigger than the TV i've got now lol.

That's pretty much my Christmas rounded up, going to Steve and Andy's on Boxing Day, where drinking might commence, but because of me taking Roaccutane, drinking is restricted to less than what i would normally drink, but at least i can still drink lol.

Work at the weekend to be honest wasn;t as busy a i had intended, but then hopefully people did their shopping before then, i got paid Thursday but was bloody charged tax again, looking forward to when my rebate will come through lol.

Speaking of Roaccutane, if anyone hasn't noticed, i have started a blog on my experience with the drug, because of it's many side effects and a very succesfull working, i thought it deserved it's own area, the link is on the right under "Worth Reading".

Well thats it for this entry, wishing everyone a Merry Christmas.

Until Next Time

I Think It's All Over

2007-12-20T09:15:00.000Z

I am referring to my bug which i recently caught.

Well as my last entry stated i had caught one, this one is stating that i think it has gone, well from me anyway lol, i havent used the loo for a while and i feel better than what i did.

Only problem is now i have to get a load of christmas presents to Eastleigh, but as my mate is ill with the same thing, finding a convenient time is difficult.

Got paid today, so that was welcomed, although i only got paid for 3 weeks, but at least i have some money now lol.

For anyone who cares, i've now completed Half Life 2 Episode 2, a great game if i must say so myself lol.

Well thats it for this entry, hopefully no more sickness will come up, and all will be good from until god knows when lol.

Until Next Time.

The Stomach Bug

2007-12-18T09:17:00.000Z

There horriable!!!

As of the early hours of Monday morning i've had a stomach bug which is going around, and i still have it now.

Basically it involved waking up at 1AM with a massive stomach ache, like when your realy hungry, then when i went to the loo i found myself heaving with my head down the toilet lol.

This continued throughout the night followed with Diahrea, very gross, this left me in bed all day Monday with nothing to do, it was soo boring!!!.

Today im feling better, but not enough to return to college, and my mates comming down tomorrow so id better be cured then lol.

This is realy annoying, the last time i was ill like this was when i was 9, all the other times ive thrown up ere either motion or drunknes lol.

Well thats it for this entry, most likely another day of being bored, but im least im out of bed lol.

Until Next Time
