A Proper blog and Glasto...

2008-06-27T14:11:00.000Z

Yes, yes, I know it's been a while since I really blogged but the live videos I am posting on Qik GAD123 hopefully have made up for it a little! It's the Glasto weekend as I am sure you are all aware, I normally got to a buddies house and camp out, listening to the festival and partying until the small hours but it not on this year। I did it for 10 years and it was one if not THE best weekends of the year. I missed it last year and Paddy passed away so it was cancelled. So just to let you know I will be thinking about Neil, Don, Mike and everyone else this weekend! The coverage is great on the BBC, with a line up that I can pick 10's of acts I wanna see! So it will be cider for me from when I get up tomorrow, kicking off with the Adam and Joe show on BBC Radio Music 6 and heading through until I pass out at like 6am, lol! Also it my Nieces birthday and she is having a party here, so I am DJ'ing for a bunch of 10 year olds apparently, all afternoon!!

So a quick catch up then. My broadband is dying a death, only getting 1mb, which sucks. Obviously been contacting Tiscali but can't get them to sort it out and as far as I am aware they are attempting to sell the company off, so that does not help! Listened to a lot of Sonar last weekend, I remember first catching it on the John Peel show years ago. Now that's a festival I love love to get to! Would also love to hit Belsonic in Belfast but don't, at this stage know if anyone is going, Friday's line up is cool! Again tho, BBC has that covered if I don't make it! Been playing a bit of poker, still reeling from that scary, crippling call last time from Magic on a straight, that hit *sigh* Football has been great, I tipped Spain and they are in the final, so that's my Sunday evening sorted! New CD's I have been listening to and am going to listen to next week include; Dan Le Sac VS Scroobius Pip - Angles, Sigur Ros - Med Sud Eyrum Vid Spilum Endalaust and Seu Jorge America Brasi! I am totally skint, bought a new suit for job interviews and heading to England next month to push forward that opportunity! I know that was short and sweet but I am off out tonight। I will be comatosed for the rest of the weekend so will see you on the other side! Have a good one folks!

So I thought today I would post my top iTunes songs, it makes interesting reading I think! Tho I suppose it's only a matter of time that the new Coldplay track Violet Hill (Newry??? lol) takes the top spot, it's fantastic! Which is ironic, after listening to the lyrics and the last post I made!

I hope you all enjoyed reading yesterdays post. I was thinking all day if I should post it and finally at 5am I had enough and typed most of it out. Hopefully it's the start of me posting again but we shall see! I mean, who is interested in the crap I write, I suppose that sums up why I have not been posting! If I could write about everything I would have some mad, funny stories to share but I would offend practically every person I know, oh wait I do anyway, lol! There's the lying, obsessive bitchy girls, the fights, the "Everything that is NOT acceptable is OK", the fishing trip, surely a 23 year old girl is to young for me to go out with, the England start up business with the great money offer, the "I hate women" or "I'm so depressed", the affairs, the "Let me give you a b*ow job or I will knock your ballacks in", The hours lost through drink which I ALWAYS get the blame for, I am just tag along Graham, the amusing dates and falling in love with me... I have just touched the surface and that's only the last week! lol All water under the bridge as every week it resets, no loading from the last point, there are no saves in this game!
I bloody chipped my tooth again on a Spring Roll, it's long running saga that one but a bit of a p*sser as it's my front one! Lastly for today I got round to watching Eternal Sunshine for a Spotless Mind! All I will say is, probably bad timing for watching that movie! Oh, wait, one more thing, I totally forgot that South Park had started again, jumped out of bed last night in the am and furiously got to work DL'ing, nearly have the first 7 eps, so, so, soooo can't wait to watch them! Have a good one folks!

Dear Blog, it's been a long time since my last confession and believe me when I say that I am wracked with guilt about that alone, it deserves it's own post। The lack of structure in my life is causing havoc with a routine for posting and I don't really feel that I can write anything of any worth, without some time constraints and pressure। That said, here I am sporadically posting, though it is set to change as my six months off work is coming to an end and some rigidity will follow soon, all being well!

I have been to Amsterdam since we last conversed and Cardiff, I had a blast but I am sure I would just bore you talking about it। Had some great nights out, all faded memories now but boy did some controversial sh*t happen, well may be kick off is more the word! " That Demon Drink" *shakes fist* I have spent so much money, covered all the entertainment bases, bought some nice things (waiting on GTA 4 for PS3 to arrive in the post) and fitted in some poker, tho my results have tailed off in live play! Last time I only managing 3rd and we are on a break for the footy at the mo! Have had more success online and am finding cash games a bit of a breeze. I play the total opposite to my normal tight game, so it's ironic really!

So to recap, drink, drugs, rock and not forgetting roll and a pinch of gambling, hmmm। What else do I have to confess? Oh, women, I can't fathom your actions sometimes. See the way I just offend all the women I know, lol! Take for example SBB. Now that was over and dealt with years ago, she dumped me for her own reasons, totally broke my heart and probably turned me in to the cold, well maybe that's a bit harsh, void of feeling, maybe not that, having complete emotional control possibly, well anyone who knows me will get it. I tend to be really good at dealing with stuff and containing myself in my own little bubble, talking and sharing everything but not really giving anything away. Like Kimi, the Ice Man, lol! Anyway I digress, everything was put in a little box like Pandora's, filed away and sorted. Probably under Z, so as not to be found too often. It meant that when she got in touch (which is every few months if averaged out), if she wanted an alternate opinion or a bit of support I was there to give it, then when she fell in to the void again it was cool! I am not the sort to hold a grudge or wish ill upon anyone and would do what I could to help anyone, again as I would hope all my friends would agree with. Now, she is forging a life in a new country and I assume that she is really living the good life, the life she wants and is having a great time doing that. It's sort of a running joke that when she gets in touch, I would bring up that she owes me a holiday and when am I invited over. Now the interesting bit, finally some reward for reading all that crap...

She invited me over, which is grand in it's self and this has happened before। Tho this time it's a little different, she is serious. It's not a joke! I explained that there is nothing to gain from me visiting, tho I would like to hang out and get another holiday, we could hook up and have a blast! I don't think for one second that we would not fall into our own little world but it's empty fun, as when I return we will not be together, she has the same issues in her life and the void will suck her back in again! So that's it you would think but not really. Friday night she phoned me, I spoke to her briefly before she had to go but then she called my house, left messages on my Moby answer machine telling me that she loved me! *shocker* She also texted to say she thinks about me all the time! Now to further flesh this out, when we where together, many years ago we had the best relationship, we where each others 'ONE'! Something that I think rarely happens in life and it's entirely possible that this has not changed, tho as discussed earlier I have (maybe read as had) dealt with all that. I don't know if there is something has changed, if it was that I was a little weak after just coming back and recovering from Amsterdam but there is a chink of light coming from that dust old filing cabinet and I think Pandora's box mat be a jar! The funny thing is that she has not bothered to reply to texts or get in touch since Friday night, what sort of head fu*k is that? It's not that I am having a problem dealing with it, that I have any other chicks on the go to be concerned about but I just can't believe that after all these years and I have only talked to her face to face a few times in like the last 5 years, that she is still willing to risk our sanity for a few days of fun that she will not let continue!

Am I just supposed to forget about it, read between the line or god forbid being made a fool out of? Tho I doubt that, as I am well aware of what's happening! If anyone knows anything about women and can help, being constructive and not being hurtful or stating the obvious because this is not a normal relationship or situation, please give me your 2 cents worth! Oh and just before anyone thinks I am being hypocritical, as I say NEVER go back as a rule, this, my friends would be the exception that proves that rule, lol!

Finally, I updated my phone and somehow lost numbers and texts when the memory was wiped। So if I have not replied to you or whatever you know why! The positive side to this is that I have Truphone VoIP set up aging on my Moby. So you can get me on that number or just go to my facebook profile click the Truphone button on the left and call me for free from your PC and leave a message if I am not with in Wi-Fi range! How cool is that?

Sup folks? So last week I had a SIM Problem with the old Moby, thank god it's all sorted now tho! Last week was a bit of a mare really, dinners, meetings, paintballing, pubs, clubs, etc। Even had the possibility of a really good job but it would mean moving to England.

This week has been a little more subdued and the weekends going to be a quite affair, just popping round to a friends for a beer or twenty and some darts! Must say hi to Brian, Happy Birthday Dude!

Suppose it's getting near that time of year to start talking about Glasto... This year's festival will be headlined by US rapper Jay-Z, which is a bit cool। The rest of this year's line-up remains a closely guarded secret, although Neil Diamond will play the so-called "veteran's slot" on the Sunday! Also it's the time of year to talk about F1! 2 weeks to go to the Melbourne Australian Grand Prix and I can't wait, we even have a night, street race this year in Singapore!

Finally 3 strikes you are out on suspected illegal internet DL'ing! What's next, the PSNI come round to your house to remove your car because you have, may have or possibly will in the future break the speed limit *sigh*

Valentines Day...

OMG, I don't have a girl friend on Valentines Day, how great is that, no over priced flowers, gifts, meals or getting everything wrong, lol! Not that of course I would but it's nice not to even have to think about it! I have a fantastic weekend planned, just for me! It consists of some good wine, carryout food, great music and online poker! Ah, does life get any better??! Bet you are all jealous, I might even buy myself something nice. Hope whatever you have planned does not end in failure, arguments and tears. God I am becoming so cynical, ha.... becoming!

So what else is going on with me, well not much, been busy doing my thing (usually involving alcohol). Lost poker last night, final hand I had pocket J's under the gun, raised it up half my stack and ran into Kayeso with pocket A's in the big blind going all in to a raise. Can't fault my play and if I had won that hand I would have been there at the end again but you just can't get in the money every week!

I have decided that I am now a bit disillusioned with not working and have given myself another two weeks and then I am going to get a job, finally, I have had enough!

Hello Everyone, Want an Update???

E-Mail GAD123 :: E-Mail GAD123

OK, OK, so it's been a while, well a looonnngggg while! I don't really know why I have not updated, I wish I could say it was because I was so busy but I don't think that excuse will cut it. I am still not working, by choice, am telling people that I am retired. I have not even looked for a job, it's not the situation I wanted to be in but when I realised that this is the last time in my life that I will not have any responsibilities, no bills, wife, GF, kids and that gubbens, with enough money put aside to live the same life that I have been, I thought I should enjoy it! So here we are.

I have found plenty to get on with, working through an PC Maintenance course with a friend, playing poker (won in Wolseys last night sorry Kayeso), hitting the pub and acting like a teenager every weekend, watching every movie going that I can grab, got Sky+ so am very flexible as to when I wanna watch TV (can't recommend Sky+ high enough), playing PS3 (bought lots of games), modding my PC (hard drives, routers, software, etc), pottering, blah, blah, blah. It's great just doing whatever and living anti social hours (can't tell if 6am is early in the morning of late at night)! The weirdest thing is that I am drinking less than I ever was before, I thought I would be drinking more but hey, that's a good thing!

This week I watched the Royal Rumble live with John on Sunday, poker last night in the pub, tonight is study night at Brian's, hair cut tomorrow night (been growing it and I look like a 70's throw back), cleaning, etc on Fri and then round to Two Beers, finally out on the town on Saturday night, dinner and clubbing possibly... Sunday chill and take my niece out for lunch!

I have booked a holiday to Costa Del Cardiff to see Jackie for our birthdays so looking forward to that and may try and get away somewhere else any offers, Malaga anyone?! lol

Little Amy bunny is up the duff, nothing to do with me... he he, but I wanna congratulate her and wish her all the best, she will be a wonderful Mom!

Should mention the new TV shows starting soon (the bloody writers strike is really messing up my TV as everything that I DL is on hold), Lost next week and Ashes to Ashes, boy that show has a lot to live up to! I am currently DL'ing all the hits from 1981.

My internet is screwed (something to do with the telephone line and problems on my exchange but that's my own findings), I use Tiscali and this is an extract from our last exchange, can you tell how stressed I am getting, lol. It's been going on for like 6 months now:

"Can you please explain to me why I was told by two of your 2nd level support team and 1 sales person why my line (after testing) could support 7.7mb?

I used to have 2.3mb broadband until I started having problems, traced to Tiscali but no formal explanation given, with a loss of broadband for 2 weeks and now achieving only a speed of 1.2mb. Can you tell me why you are now only saying it will support a slower speed (I have checked samknows to see what I can get), has my line been tested at all? Also I have had e mails confirming that the upgrade will take place and also it has taken a month for someone to get back to me on this despite various e mails to billing, technical support, etc."

I really need to change my profile here, it's been the same for over 6 months and a little out of date!

Finally today I have to mention Big Brother, I know no one watched it but you really missed out, it was fantastic and Big John deserved to win, what a lovely man. Special mention goes to Calista she is my ideal chick, to young obviously but she is fun, hot, intelligent, hubba, hubba!

Peace out!

Where Have I Been; Answer...

2007-10-31T15:55:00.000Z

Current Mood ::
Current Music ::
E-Mail GAD123 :: E-Mail GAD123

Nowhere is the short answer! I will try to keep this post as concise as possible. Firstly I am unemployed, well, made redundant. The parent company I worked for collapsed and that took our local company with it. We tried all we could to save it, including making an attempt to take it over but a suitable deal could not be settled upon. Basically the MD has went awol, we could not make contact with him and therefore had no way to put together 2008 products we have had no option but to let it go! It's all very sad, depressing really, as 9 years of my life was spent there, with some amazing people, happy years and I fear I will not find something so suitable again.

Looking at the big picture I know this sort of thing happens every day and I am lucky that my responsibilities (financially) are minimal! I have not signed on, am trying to claim some sort of statutory redundancy and am currently living on my savings. Not an ideal situation, money is tight and I am trying to save money where I can. The best thing I have found is half price cigs bought on an auction site, you can't go wrong with £2.50 a packet, lol!

The future is obviously cloudy. I really don't know what I want to do. My position was Office Manager and sticking with Administration would be grand, Sales is another area I could go in to or even IT. Tho computers are my hobby and it would take all the fun out of it for me, clearly I would have to get some qualifications too. Next week I will start sorting all that out, so I will keep you posted.

With all this going on I just let life wash over me a little, it took a fair bit out of me and I just did not have to motivation to post, chat online, e mail people, etc. I have now had some time to get used to it and plan to get back to normality. My social life has been good, with formal dinners, pubs, clubs, poker (won local pub tourney twice in a row but lost last night), parties, etc! Costly business all this drinkin tho! I am still single and looking but do you know what, there isn't much talent in the pub and I fear my judgment is way off when I have had a skin full. One night stands are not my thing and I suppose trying to find something more in the dark recesses of the pub is madness but there you go!

Anyway I think I am done here for today. Fun posts will be resumed in future...

Smoking D-Day for Wireless Blogging...

2007-09-28T11:38:00.000Z

Apart from being only bloody Friday today is in fact D-Day, why? Well I can't say but let me assure you that it is, keep that in your minds as you read because there will be questions when this subject is brought up again!

Microsoft have released a lovely back lit, brushed aluminium, Wireless Entertainment Desktop keyboard and mouse, I want it, please god but it's £150 notes *sigh*

So 'finally' us drivers could be prosecuted for smoking at the wheel, according to a warning in the latest version of the Highway Code. Fair enough I say but what about banning all the other things that can be distracting. Kids in cars, radios, things hanging from the rear view mirror, what about a ban on hot chicks walking down the road in little more than a belt! Arrrggghhh. Ban everything and keep us all in the little boxes the government want us in! In all honesty, lighting up at the wheel may not be the most sensible thing but please let us use our own judgement!

I am going to keep it all above board today and not lower the tone one bit by mentioning Billie Piper in ITV 2's Belle de Jour - The Secret Diary Of A Call Girl *cue the heavy breathing*

How Addicted to Blogging Are You? Apparently I am very addicted:

88%

Anyway have a great weekend guys, see you on the other side. Laterz!

I Have Sort Of Fallen Off The Radar...

2007-09-27T13:30:00.000Z

I really am having one of those 'times' at the mo. Can't believe how much of a bloody moan I have become but there we go! I had a particularly heavy weekend, drinkin both Friday and Saturday. Managed to get barred from Marine Court / Nelson's Bar. I don't like it there and have no reason to go but friends like it so it neither here nor there to me. It was stupid, for whatever reason (must have been having a bad night) one of the bouncers 'Craig' decided that he did not like me and would not let me in wearing trainers (though lots of other guys where in their wearing them), I questioned it in a reasonable way and he told me not to come back, that was Friday. On Saturday I did try to go in but he just pushed me out and said I was barred, I laughed, what can you do?! It's the first time I have EVER been thrown out of a pub or barred! *sigh* I did however end up in Betty Blacks because of it and discovered the best smoking room in Bangor, so there are positives to everything!

I am having another cull and also launching a new Blog. MySpace and MSN need thinned out (think Bebo and Facebook are ok) as I can't give enough attention to those that matter or I actually care about! If you are dropped I hope you have a great day and everything you want comes your way! I have set up a new Blog (I am going back to basics), imported all my old stuff, got a so so layout together, just need to work on formatting and the like, so it will come active on www.gad123.co.uk probably next week, not that anyone cares but it's part of the lifestyle changes!

I watched Death Proof, and Die Hard 4.0 and really enjoyed both of them, tho Death Proof takes somewhat of an acquired taste! Also seen Hostel 2 which was rubbish! Have now seen Heroes Season 2 Esp. 1, in every bead of sweat, glorious HD, sweet! I am hooked all over again! Also have the new High Stakes Poker Season 4 to check out and a heap of other stuff!

My sister went in to hospital for an operation, it's straight forward enough so I hope all goes well for her!

Having a quite enough weekend this week but am staying up all night to watch the Formula 1 qualifying and race, come on Kimi!

Right I am out of here, I will return everyone's e mails soon, I have not forgotten about anyone!

I Should Have Thought This Through...

2007-09-21T13:18:00.000Z

YaY, it's Friday and I am hitting the Pub tonight AND tomorrow! Mmmmmm, drink! Anyway, week has been ok and reasonably busy! The following is an incoherent, rambling mess of stuff I have been doing and thinking this week!

I am participating in the Crysis Beta. It's a brill game, tho not compatible with DX10 in the Beta, yet it looks wonderful, so by the time it's released it's going to be up there too for game of the year. I have to still update the Bios on my PC but I am scared... Finally the Gov are looking at broadband speeds and the like, I want *NEED* a faster connection!

I've been listening a lot to Amy Winehouse, 'Tears Dry On Their Own' is a fantastic tune. Also 50 and Mr West have been at it, tho I hate to say it, the hooks and flow of kanYe take 50 Cent down!

Question Time is back on the BBC so that is cool. New Heroes Season 2 starts next week, happy days. There are so many new shows and old favs starting soon that I don't think I will be able to keep up!

I drink FAR to much coffee, it's like 8+ cups a day at the mo. It's lovely tho, teamed up with a cigarette, mmmmmmm!

I am growing my hair, well I say growing it but the last few times I got it cut I opted for a trim and now it's a bloody mess, I don't know what to do. Should I keep going or get it whacked off?

Well I think that's me done. I hope you all have a great weekend, I am off to the pub with my poker winnings, drinks all round!

Kimi Wins As Do I...

Kimi won at Spa, how fantastic! That must be one super track to drive. I really enjoyed the race, watching Alonso stick it to Hamilton was brill! Other than the race I popped out to Brian's on Friday night and then spent most of the weekend playing BioShock. An amazing game that owes a lot to Half-Life but you just gotta check it out! On Sat I did look after my nieces, so that was a nice way to break it up. Sunday I watched the whole King of the Hill season 11 and season 6 of Family guy! Monday was a nothing day but....

I won Poker last night, YaY! I played fast and loose, well relatively speaking compared to my normal tight play and I will be reverting back to type next week! I made some good bluffs (playing percentages), some bad ones but towards the end I finally started hitting cards, playing hands that I normally would not touch, checking anytime I hit and waiting for the bet against me to get the all in. I also won the 50/50's and when the luck goes your way, playing the rush is wee bickies! Can I do the double and win next week, that is the question!

I was looking at stat's today and found that I am in the top 100 (91) out of nearly 30 million sites for keywords 'games torrent'! How cool is that? Look:

I am bioSHOCKED at the f1 Appeal Decision...

OK, just a quick one to end the nerdyness (is that a word??!)! I installed BioShock (shiver me timbers) after updating my graphics drivers but without exiting any of the guff I have still running in Vista and guess what... It ran like a dream, everything maxed out and my little PC was cold as ice. How happy am I?! I had heard so much stuff about that game being tough to run and thought it was a good test but clearly not for my set up, lol! Anyway the game is fantastic, possibly game of the year but lets wait for UT first! Can't wait to get stuck in to playing it tonight, it's been a while that a game has excited me so much, I am a very casual gamer! I like it so much because it's different and the graphics are amazing. It gives a taster of what is to come from DX10. I would say that it looks easily better than what I have seen on the PS3 - a dedicated games machine - it's already falling behind, I know my rig cost like 10 times as much but it goes to show that nothing beats a PC. PC gaming is back folks!!

Just wanna touch on the F1 Spygate, I can't se how the big fine and docking all the constructor points from McLaren is a good thing. In fact, it would not surprise me if they just up sticks and left F1! I know that everyone sees Hamilton as the best thing that ever happened to F1 (I DON'T) or indeed motor racing and want him to take the crown this year but if that was Shu they would have taken HIS points. I think that they could have made the final few races so exciting by just simply taking 15 points off each driver and let them fight it out! It's not over and I am sure McLaren will appeal but come on, Hamilton has years let in the sport at the top level, dump the bias already!!

For the 2nd time this week I say "Have a good one folks"!

OK so I installed my Zalman CNPS9700 LED Fan and heatsink. Bit of a mare really as had to take out the whole motherboard, alter the back plate because of the heatsink on the back of motherboard, bolt it all together and reinstall everything. After checking that, I popped in the new graphics card, installed the drivers (still need to up date them tho) and finally put in a new intake fan in place of 3 drive bays at the front. Was it worth it... YES! The CPU now runs 20 degrees cooler, the PSU is way cooler, graphics are a little sharper and I think I have a performance boost as I can run, games, video, e mail, etc. all at once on Vista without my PC throwing it's toys out of the pram because of the high temperatures! Smiles all round then, I even put some new window decals on!

Next I will work on updating all my software, including the dreaded BIOS, clear out Vista, remove all the system processes that are not needed and finally a little over clocking। All this just so I can run Unreal Tournament 3 maxed out for hours on end where it comes out in November, I think I have lost the plot, lol! I find it fun tho, maybe I could set myself up fixing peoples day to day PC problems... Would you hire me, my rates would be very competitive and the service would be friendly and efficient, maybe even 24 hours! Anyway my system now looks like this:

Anyway this weekend I am just lying low so I will be on MSN on Friday night and then we have the Formula 1 race:

DX10, Weekend and F1 (loves it)...

OK, OK, so I did not need to upgrade to DX10! I have a 7950 X 2, that is a monster 1 gig of graphics in two cards, bolted together in SLI but you only need one slot to put it in. It's more that enough for a PC gamer and will cut through any task, in fact it was the best card available before the 8 series (DX10) and will still out perform some of those cards. If anyone wants it (it would be a shame to let it go to waste) for themselves or to sell on e bay, bung me a few quid and it's yours! Anyway to cut a long story short, I am going to be skint soon so this was my last chance to make this purchase before the end of the year and I need it for Unreal Tournament (my fav game of all time) when it comes out in Nov!

This weekend I am off to a party on Friday night with Brian and "The Girls", I am useless with names! Obviously I love to think they all fancy me but after my drunkin rant about hating women last week (I was just being a twat, like that comes as a surprise to anyone and winding them up), I think the reality is, that, in fact they all hate me, lol!! Well something like that!

Saturday night I am hoping to hit Wolseys and catch Kayeso DJ. Tho that is very dependant on how messy Friday gets!

Sunday we have the Italian Grand Prix and I think it's going to be a very close run thing! The times are:

Live qualifying Saturday 8 September 1230-1430 ITV4
Highlights qualifying Saturday 8 September 2325-0040 ITV1
Live race Sunday 9 September 1200-1450 ITV1
Highlights Sunday 9 September 2245-2345 ITV1
Highlights re-run Monday 10 September 1800-1900 ITV4

That's it, I will probably not post to Tuesday so everyone have a great weekend!

I had to redo my whole GAD123 MySpace layout last night. Basically everything was dropped, all the formatting gone and I don't know why! Maybe with the introduction of the new editing tool and things were reset. Anyway I put together something suitable, grey (my fav colour at the mo) and black to tie me over, tho I kinda like it so it might be there a while! My next mini project is to work on my GAD123 Blogger Page and my GAD123 Yahoo 360 Blog!

I have finally reached 100,000 visitors for www.gad123.co.uk, so that's me on target to reach the 150,000 that I wanted this year and 25,000 more that last year!

Tonight I need to update my graphics software. I hate doing it as sometimes it can be a bind. Setting up the whole dual display with the plasma can get annoying when it will not give you the correct resolution settings! I am also currently getting Dr. Katz: Professional Therapist, I so can't wait as it's been years since it was last on TV!

Anyway, have a good day folks!

Tuesday seems to be my day of posting, guess what, yip, it's Tuesday today! So I suppose you all want to know how my weekend was with the Snow Patrol gig and all? No! Are you sure? I was very good, well organised (I did not see any trouble, before, during or after), Ash rocked and all though Snow Patrol did not blow me away (it was not the emotional journey I had hoped) or anything they did a great job and all the crowed where 1000% behind it for the home town Bangor boys! £3 a pint was a bit steep when you are getting 3 at a time but it went down so well I did not care! It was weird as I did not see anyone I knew (except Laura, a friends daughter who was all grown up) or was suppose to be going with and instead choose to hang with Brian and "The Girls", well that is how they will be known from now on. We headed down the town afterwards for more high jinks and it was packed! I had a great time, the crack was good, I was drunk, it was outside, easy to get to, able to smoke as much as I wanted and talking crap to strangers was most amusing! Lets not forget the Fireworks disply at the end! Hopefully it can become some sort of annual event!

I am playing poker tonight but I am so bloody tired, last week I wanted an early one and tonight I feel the same, I wish I slept better!! This week I want to clean out my PC, install the free Vista games that did not install with Vista Business, install some Media Software or alternatively purchase this; Thermaltake Media Lab VFD Panel and Remote - Black, give my room a spring clean, head to the Pub on Friday night and watch some movies that I downloaded the rest of the weekend!

Oh, I updated all my sites last week, links, profile blurb, etc! Just in case no one noticed!! Have a nice day folks.
