About Me - GAD123

Belfast, N.I., United Kingdom
I first got on the net over 15 (2009) years ago and have had my own site for at least 7 (2009) of those years (a place where I could dump the misery of my everyday life!), you can see my fist efforts @ www.freewebs.com/gad123 and my current blog @ www.gad123.co.uk . I am a kind person, smart, (I know that is subjective) and witty, the dry, sarcastic type! I am told that I am easy to talk to and am very laid back. I enjoy playing poker, listening to any music, watching movies & American TV shows, love going to the pub, dancing on a Saturday night and am a bit of a nerd as I own a Wii, PS3 and built my own PC! I am a creature of routine, love the night time when all the exciting things happen, am a bit of an insomniac and love getting trashed at the weekends! If you want, you can catch me on MSN @ graham@gad123.co.uk! Take care and enjoy you browse around this GAD123 Page!

Unhappily Spending Virtue...

So I am back, May day hols where fab and here today is your first post of the week. How fast the world is moving, we have everything we could ever want but at what cost?

Today I read about a real world cash card that allows gamers to spend money - earned in a virtual universe - in the real world, also in the news and with reference to attaining the news, a quiet revolution is taking place. It is being spearheaded by a generation (y) who have grown up in a connected, digital world, for whom the interwebnet is just part of their way of life but as amazing and forward thinking as all this is, Britain is less happy than in the 1950s, even taking into account the fact that we are three times richer. I know how and why we are in this mess, it's obvious to me, what do you think?

I would love to comment on the local elections but I think the majority of people have gotten the measure of them and I trust you all to do the right thing, even tho it's not too relevant here in Northern Ireland.

Stat Whore Time again, I need 8,333 average each month to break my target of 100,000 hits for the year! Lets see how April stacks up:

January 2006 - 4,985
February 2006 - 5,398
March 2006 - 11,100
April 2006 - 12,965

Total : 34,448 Avr: 8,612
