About Me - GAD123

My photo
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!

MOT, Life, Pics, Stuff, Catch-up...

Well it's now Tuesday and I am still snowed under, sort of but I am going to make more time for everyone, I promise! I will make this catch-up as concise as possible! Got my Plasma TV bracket (£150 reduced to £60 - Bargain) and put that up last night as you can see by the pic a few posts / bulletins back and again below. I still need to sort cabling, placement of all the boxes and get my speakers on the wall but I am very happy with it and will post a better pic of it complete!

Speaking of pics, I posted a new pic on my MoBlog and will sort a few more soon. The new one is waiting outside for my MOT, which my car passed, yay! Was a complete nightmare with Renault, lots of problems and if that can't be resolved a damming post will be made here!

Reading & Leeds Festival was very good, with a lot of not so well known band performances covered. Kate Nash did a little live piece and on the strength of that I got her album, only really listened to a few tracks but Foundations is just a brill song and I sort of fancy her a little but not as much as Lily Allen, is that wrong??! While on that subject, would one of Amy Winehouses family please step in and save that girl

I watched 6 hours of the WSOP 2007 on Monday, all very interesting and a great way to spend Monday! Friday stayed up to half three in the morning watching the festival and then was up at 6am to get ready for MOT. Family BBQ in the afternoon and took my older, special needs, niece out for a mini pub crawl, which ended the day with 12 hours on the drink for me, lovely!!

This week includes, poker, cleaning out PC and a few mods, a quite Friday night playing a little online poker and then Saturday we have Snow Patrol in Ward Park, Bangor. Now the last few years I have lost my way when it comes to showing (read as feeling) my emotions but I see this gig as a shedding of some skin, emerging as something of my former self. There is a lot of meaning in them there songs, holding memories of places, people and situations. You will find me at the back (read as close to a bar) singing along, drunk and seemingly unhappy! Then I think I want a GF but I doubt anyone would have a nerd like me and at the risk of offending people (you know who you are) I really just want an easy, hassle free woman but there is not point in looking because that does not exist and finding a chick that would accept me would be impossible, probably my standards are too high as well! My 9YO niece said that I will never get married, so clearly even she can see that!

Anyway I hope to post more this week so check back soon. Finally, in the news, Sony has unveiled a TV tuner which plugs into the PlayStation 3 (PS3) and turns it into a personal video recorder like Sky+. The device allows transfer of programmes from PS3 to PSP and users in Europe will soon be able to record and playback digital TV on their console. How cool is that?! Also milk has gone up again, that's bloody 7p in like the last 6 months, what's going on? That's retorical by the way!

Where Have I Been....

So here we are and I have not posted in ages! Believe it or not I have actually been very busy. There is not much I wanna say about the last few weeks except sorry to all those I have neglected! It's so easy to do, putting off texting to tomorrow, not using MSN, picking up the phone, commenting on friends sites, e mail, aaaarrrrgggghhh! All these forms of communication and you still have to make time, unless it's just a "hello I am still alive", which I clearly am!

Anyway got completely hammered at the weekend, lunch on Friday turned in to 12+ hours on the sauce, followed by Saturday on a little mini pub crawl! I truly died on Sunday. I was fun trying to find places to smoke and I have to say there are a few nice beer gardens that popped up which I did not even know existed, why does no one promote them? Anyway that's going out sorted for me again!

Just some quickies; I watched all of Dexter last night (had to stay up so late to do so) and I must say it built to a nice climax, go check it out, go on! This weather we are having is fantastic! BB is boring me!! I got a mic for PS3!

This week is another busy one. It will be next week before everything has calmed down, so if I have not been in touch this week, expect something next week!
