It starts...

Ok, Cap'n B retaliated today at some point. You can find his attack here

Anyways, you guys want a real update (or at least thats what i think.)

I haven't updated all week for a couple of reasons. Mainly because i have been ill, and therefore could barely speak, let alone type a witty entry.

Also the fish ate my entries.

Excuses aside, Here's a brief rundown of the events you have missed.

My brothers 17th birthday party - Lots of beer, a lot less sleep!

Moving a couch cross-county - Actually it was a 4 piece suite, for my grandad. That was a tiring day.

Going to the tip no less than twice in one day! - Cleaning the garage (or car-hole) and making a few, heavy, trips to the dump.

Missing a few nights of work - 'cause i was ill! Headache, sore throat, you know the drill.

This is even boring me typing it, so i'm gonna cut straight to today.

Today was a good day actually! My hair was behaving itself, i felt happy and just good, y'know?! I do wish it would snow though. It's been so cold the last few days, it could have done any time... There was even a layer of frost on the metal fence i jump on the way to work. That's gotta spell snow right?

Speaking of the cold and such, am i the only person who thinks we skipped autumn completely and went straight into winter?! Anyone else notice the sudden warm - colder than a polar bears fridge change that happened? or am i mad again?

Speaking of mad! I heard the damned Hallie Berry song. I mentioned it a few months back. It's a recording of "rudolf the red nosed reindeer" but without the words. Just the tune.

Here's the fun part.

Some point, about a minuite and a half in, Hallie berry suddenly says "Hallie Berry!"... damn that woman...

anyways, i had a good day today! I was working and such, when suddenly, i was hit with this like, barrage of memories! All these things from camp i'd forgotten just came rushing back all at once! I had a perma-grin for about an hour!

Thats all kids, more soon!

Anyone who got that quote is a dorkerson. Me more so for knowing it AND putting it there.

Anyways, this isn't a long post, just a quickie to update the comic (yeah a new one) and to say that yeah, i am starting a war with "Cap'n B" (if that is his real name...), but it's for no real reason.

Truth is, i've been looking for a reason to start one with him for a while now. He seems like the kind that
A. might enjoy it.
B. put up a good fight.

Ah well, more of this as it transpires.

This one is actually about me...

Hey,

sorry about the last post, i got a little carried away i think.

(quick note, the comic that was fugged is ok now, but you have to click the link insted. Do it, it's worth it. Depending on your browser situation you might have to click the "make the picture the right size" button that comes up in the bottom right corner when you hover over it long enough.)

As i said, i was working ill today, never nice. I think it's just a cold... who knows.

Some good things did come out of today though, I was talking to Mike (a new guy who works in the stockroom, also did camp america) about how crappy this job is and how much i just wanted to fast-forewards to like, march or something, when he mentioned his trip to South Africa. He asked if i wanted to go with him in January. I was all "Pshhh i gotta save money man..." and he said that it would cost £315 for an open return flight. I could come back at any time i wanted to.

This appeals to me for many reasons.

A. I would get to see another continant, bringing the total up to 4/7.
B. I would be having fun insted of working...
C. It would make the winter pass soo much quicker.

I really think it would be cool, and i did vow to say yes to more offers... perhaps this is a good time to eat my rash words.

But...

(there's always a but)

I need to pay off my debts. I owe money to the bank, and mom and dad. The mom and dad one can be payed off by selling my car, which i'll have to do in febuary anyways, but the bank still want about... £600 more i think...

I'll have to think about it... but yeah, i'm seriously considering it. A night out in S.A. is approximatly £30, and thats with 3 course meal, and a 5 star hotel... and drinks...

sounds good huh?

Keep it safe,

Another day, another blog...

Hey kids!

Today was the epitimy of crap! Not only did i start work at 3pm and work till midnight, but i did it ill...

Thats right, your favourite sk8er kid dork guy has fallen ill. I can only hope that it is some form of mutant virus manifesting itself in me, like the X-men.

Speaking of x-men, lemmie dork it up here a little.

It seems that the general theme for the X-men is that you get cool powers, but they are as much of a hinderance as they help you. For example...s

Professor X - He is the worlds most powerful psychic, yet he cannot use his physical body very well.

Cyclops - Can shoot lazers from his eyes,(something we've all thought about at some point) but can never open his eyes without a protective screen in front of it.

Wolverine - Has claws made of unbreakable steel, but he has to hurt himself every time he uses them.

Rouge - Can absorb anyone's powers, but cannot touch skin to skin with anyone, for fear of putting them in a coma.

And lastly, Nightcrawler - Has arguably the coolest power (except for Gambit), he can teleport, but he looks like a blue devil, all the time.

All these guys have powers, but problems. Now i think i can relate that to real life.

I'm not saying i can teleport, read minds or shoot lasers (i wish). I'm saying that perhaps we all have our own kind of "powers" that are also our downfall.

For example, me, I am one of the most laid back people in the world, i keep my cool under pressure and very few things stress me out. But this means that i dont get as many things done as i could, and that i can be seen as lethargic.

There are more examples than that though, I know people who can do anything, in any ammount of time. But they are constantly "on", they stress about everything.

We all know people that are amazingly intelligent, but aren't very good at physical things. Again, the other way around, some people can run a mile in less than eight minuites, But are as thick as two short planks.

Some people are amazingly creative, and can draw, paint and write beautifully... But they can't memorise formulas the way some people can...

All i'm saying is that, like the X-men, we have our strengths, and our weaknesses. I think it's how we use them that matters.

I'm using my paitence to go work with children in America.

How are you using yours?

Keep it safe guys

The ramblings of a madman? No not really...

So...

Anyone who reads this even quasi-regularly when they are bored and poking around the internet (shame on you) will have noticed the last entry. It had two titles, and made about as much sense as... i dunno something that makes little or no sense.

Aparantly i was yelling at the cat... who was meowing loudly at me...

Also, i woke up with a mood ring on my little finger. I mentioned it in the last post....

You tell me...

The party was (obviously) drink-filled, and the first few hours were fun, and i'm told so were the last few. The shenanigans invloved me pulling hairs out of kyles head, me wedgieing kyle a few times, and doing flips (yes, flips) onto him. This was after anyone who has any respect for me left, and i had fun!

I also helped some drunk guy into his house, he kept dropping his keys.

I called Greig... something about legends...

and yeah, mood ring... That didnt fit too good, hurt my hand taking it off.

All in all, i THINK everyone had a good time...

Saturday morning, 12:30am

... and i am yet to start drinking...

What has my life become? This time of night on a friday used to be dedicated to drinking the last orders at the open-illeagally pub about 3 miles from home, and skalkiling (skating/walking/stumbling) to 24 hour Tesco's, where we would annoy both staff and fellow customers in our mad attempts at trying to buy the most random item.

(incidentally, it never occoured to any of us that something cannot be more random than something else. It is either random or it is not.)

Nowadays however, my friday nights/saturday mornings are spent here, drinking a few CANS of fosters (not pints... ='( ) and talking or blogging on the interweb.

Luckily some poor misguided fool thought it would be a good idea to open her house and have an open house house party, at which mostly house music will be played.

The woman that owns the house is some form of boarderline druggie/gangsta/woman who has just moved here from some part of london, where insted of being woken up by dustbin men, she is woken up by drive-bys and sirens.

She has a kid...

Should be an interesting party! I'll report back on it all... at least, anything that wont make me look bad...

Might not see a post for a while kids!

Oh, and to add to the general wackyness of this shin-digg, Kyle (fellow PIE member, and work colleague) Has decided that Pre-drinking is in order. For those of you who don't drink with my friends, pre-drinking has been voted by many as "a bad idea", and anyone who suggests it is normally told "Fuck off Kyle!" (you catch my drif here?)

Last time me and Kyle pre-drunk...

well i can't really tell you what happened, 'cause i dont remember. I know that we both lost at bowling, we both dropped trou, kyle smashed his head in (yeah, he has a scar and everything) and we had no money in the morning.

Somehow we got home. It was like a 5 mile walk... you do the math...

Anyhoo, should be a laugh or seven, seeing as i feel like pulling some crazy stunt type things, not seen since the last party i went to. (roof jumping, skating, match holding compititions, fire.)

Keep it safe guys!

"I was too weak to give in, too strong to loose." - Foo fighters, The best of you.

Jamie's blog, Episode 25 - A new hope?

As always, apologies to the few fans i once had for the lack of updates.

There have been certain things happening recently, and all in all, it's been one crappy fortnight. But i think i'm over it all now, and i actually have a post to knock out!

Confidence

Held by a few, Faked by many, Needed by all...

In my present state, an 18 year old guy who skates for fun and works nights, i may look confident (and sometimes even cocky), but there aren't many people now that knew me during my... awkward phase.

I'm not too sure when it finished, and i emerged from my awkward cuccoon as a beautiful confident man, but i know it started around puberty. (as i assume most people's does)

I was once a happy, care-free kid who didnt mind wearing speedo's or an actual tea cosy on his head. Put simply, he didn't care what people thought of him. He had a bowl cut, big dorky glasses and was even missing a few teeth (a problem i had fixed with braces and a few fakes ;) )

That kid died sometime around my 13th birthday. Suddenly it was important to look good, and to conform to a certain "cool" standard.

The next three years would have been awful... if it weren't for his friends. We were all outcasts. In our own little group, i was considered cool. I was instantly good at games (to this day i can master a game's controls in 5 min) , we were all learning to skate, and generally having fun. to see what kinda things we did, visit www.dumbass.freewebtools.com.

I'm not sure when i turned from Dorky teenager to slightly less dorky man-boy. I think it was sometime during 6th form. I learned to fake confidence. Talking to girls scared the crap out of me (still does sometimes) but i found a way to make that little voice telling you to make a lame joke and run shut up. I can't explain it, you just have to not care.

Its hard, i know, but it works...

This has all come about thanks to one person. She said to me one day "Y'know, i'd like to find someone who dosen't like you." I asked her what she meant, and she said that everyone seems to like me, and that i'm easy to talk to.

She told me tonight that she had "figured out what it is" (that makes people like me).

She said i was "one of those guys who is attractive and knows it"

I told her what crap i thought that was, and how i may appear confident, but i am actually walking jelly.

We argued this point for a while, her saying that i must be confident in how i look and dress, because well.... i dont care what people say or think about me, and me saying that it's all superficial and i'm scared of talking to girls.

In the end, i think we agreed that, while it may be superficial, i must be confident because it comes naturally now. Where as before i would have to think about it for a while before starting the conversation with a random person, it now comes naturally.

Also, she said, you spent the summer working in America, and you're going to live there for a year and a half. At 19.

I suppose she's right...

Keep it safe kids,

"better to be pissed off, than pissed on, right?" - an advert for skate wheels.

The friday's sun bears down again,

-as we drive with our friends,

And on these longest days we spend,

-all our time trying to pretend,

That our stories could be true,

-wanting to be cool,

The setting sun says the day is through,

-if only we knew,

And we all sit 'round cheering our home town,

Listen to the waves as they all crash down,

And watch the fire as it slowly burns away,

Glowing embers fly across the sky,

You're here, by my side, in my summer, all last summer,

The world passes by, in my summer, our last summer,

The light makes shadows fall, surrounded by each other,

I like to watch it all, the view from our last summer.

We traced the sun across the sky,

-and we'd laugh till we cried,

Always so hard to say goodbye,

-goodbye

And we'd all sit 'round, cheering our home town,

It's so good like this, these are times we'll miss,

The memories i hope will never fade,

Glowing embers fly across the sky,

You're here, by my side, in my summer, our last summer,

The world passes by, in my summer our last summer,

The light makes shadows fall, surrounded by each other,

I like to watch it all the view from our last summer.

The view from our last summer...

I would stop time to stay with you,

I would stop time so we don't move,

I would stop time,

I would stop time,

I would stop time

To keep you here, by my side, in my summer, our last summer,

The world passes by, in my summer, our last summer,

The light makes shadows fall, surrounded by each other,

I like to watch it all, the view from our last summer.

My cat is still annoying yet loveable.

Hey all,

sorry about the lack of updates, but i'm lazy and i went away for the weekend. I'll try and put this post i've been working on up tomorrow, and then a full post that night.

Lucky you guys huh?

Howdy,

Ok, first things first. Yesterday.

Sorry for not telling you guuys much, it's just that my Nan died yesterday at some point, and Dad (it was my Dad's Mom) was understandably upset. He looked so sad and just... deflated. I didn't really feel about typing an attempt at wit and humour that night.

But, as they say, every cloud has a silver lining. There have been rumours of Grandad dogs (we call them nan and grandad dogs 'cause they used to have 4 dogs i think.... one was my old one George. The one tom has out-lived) might be moving to Chelmer Village, which is good news. We'll get to see him more then.

Anyways, enough about that.

In other news, Cap'n B is actually mad. You have all seen his comments, and you can see the wackyness. It's like someone blended Willy Wonka, The mad hatter and Eienstien (sp?) and poured it into some robot-loving man mould.

I am really beginning to enjoy my walks home from work now, they're good for me and whatnot, with all the oxygen and excersise. But it's also a nice time of year. It was overcast, dry and windy. That is my favourite kind of day, along with sunny but not hot.

I like the windyness 'cause it makes everything feel... different. You just get the feeling that there's something bigger going on than you know about. I find it awe-inspiring. I think thats why i liked Monument Valley so much. It's daunting, and it makes you think. I mean i have stood on the same ground as indians did many years before me. I wear around my neck a navajo (pronounced nava-ho)Indian symbol for Strength Courage and Protection. Its a bear print.

It's stuff like all that, My nan dieing, the spiritual days and the historical mountains, that really make you think. All of those things make me feel kinda.... insignificant. But hey, i know that i matter to some people, and for me, thats enough.

Keep it safe guys.

"There's nothing to say" - Dad, just now.

Brace yourself...


I feel this could be the beginning of the end for one of both mine and all of my friends favourite drinks.... Mickey Finn's spiked sour drink thing... I was checking out the website (hoping to get a nice picture of the beautiful green-ness) when i happened upon this label...

"The UK Portman Group have advised Mickey Finn not to continue the idea of Spiking flavours with other flavours or alcohol as this may lead to a negative association. BABCO Europe limited the brand owners of Mickey Finn’s have received advice and revised labels that fully adhere to the Portman Group code of practice will be introduced shortly. The website will be adapted in due course."

This is a disaster.

This drink is spiked with apple flavouring. Which is what makes it so nice.... Without the apple, its just drinking to get drunk. *cough* vodka or tequila *cough*

This will not go unpunished.

In other news, this post is taking me three times as long to type, due to the fact that my 17 year old cat has decided that it's latest favourite place to sleep is, infact, on the computer desk.
That's where the mouse normally sits (no puns please), and he dangles his paws/tail onto the keyboard, where my fingers are furiously typing away.

In days past, i probably would have moved the little ginger tiger. But tom is getting very old indeed. He's well over 100 in cat years. He is very nearly deaf (which makes him meow louder...) and he farts all the time. But we all love him. I actually can't remember a time at home without him. He's the oldest pet we have, even the dog we used to have didnt last as long as him.

This cat is actually a living legend. He has never hurt anyone. Ever. He could never even catch birds or anything. (the gingerness stood out in the grass, even when he did that I'm-tucking-my-ears-in-and-lying-low-so-you-can't-see-me thing).

We're not sure how long ol' tom has left, but we know that he's just running on love now. (love and 6 meals a day. He forgets that he's eaten (senility) and meows constantly for more.)

Also, all you people who say that milk is bad for cats (stratton), can go cram it with walnuts.

Tom's still here after 17 years of drinking nothing but milk. (except for really hot days).

Thats it really. I'll try and find something more interesting sometime later this week. I dont think you guys wanna hear be bitch about work do you? or do you? Comments please!

"Tom and floppy" Floppy is my younger brothers bed time toy thing.

wow.... twice as many...

You may have noticed the small number counter now currently residing about halfway down the page. It not only shows me how many people visit, but also where they come from, and as it turns out, two whole people from michigan read this, which is twice as many as i thought... I only put the thing up at midday today, (yesterday by the time you read this) so let's see who else falls into the trap.

Oops, i guess you already did.... sucka!

- i was gonna talk about something here, but it bored me just writing it, so reading it would have probably hurt a lot of you...-

Did you ever have one of those days where you just felt ugly? All depressed and un-loved?

Today was nothing like that!

Today i actually felt good about myself! I have just the right ammount of stubble to look cool, my hair was behaving itself, and i seemed to have a real laugh with everyone today.

I bought my 'rents presents today, to say thanks for letting me skip my re-payments last month, seeing as it was so tight ££$$££$$ wise. I got Dad a 4 back of miller bottles (his favourites) and Mom a bunch of pink flowers (which are aparantly guarenteed for a week. bonus.)

Also, work flew past really quickly, which is always a bonus.

I dont really have anything interesting to say... except this dorky little brother is watching you... I know when you visit!
