Spending Money Is Depressing...

I was supposed to post this yesterday but never mind, reading through it and my last posts I think we could do with some fun here but anyway;

God bloody Monday again, how depressing?! How many times have we heard that? It does not really mean that you are depressed, it's an off the cuff every day phrase, right? I am not so sure. It might just be me - please someone correct me on this because I am just talking from my own, recent experience and I am not belittling anyone who is suffering as it must be a complete mare to deal with - but is everyone depressed? Maybe I should quantify that, why are most of the ladies I come in to contact with depressed? Seriously I know so many that have been diagnosed by their Doctor as being depressed. Why is that? I mean I can think of like 1 guy, compared with like 50% of the women I know! Is it the pressures of being a modern women in the naughties? Which is funny, because YOU feminists asked for this, career, kids, home maker, whatever! Is it the Doctor / Patient relationship? A loss of coping skills? The weather?

Maybe more men feel this way but just don't speak about it, we have all seen those TV Ads aimed mainly at men with the tag line "Look after your mental health"! Is it better to suffer in silence? Is it that MORE women really suffer with this disease or is it just that I find myself friends with them? I am really just thinking allowed here but I have two questions that I would like answered. The first is how come I rarely heard about it 10 years ago and now it seems like it's everywhere? The second is why do so many women seem to suffer from this condition? I bet if I visited my Doc today and explained that I don't sleep, spent the whole weekend in my house alone, getting trashed, stuffing myself with junk food and can't be bothered going to work on a Monday morning that I too would be found to have a mental illness! Obviously I would fail to mention that I actually had quite a nice weekend and was happy to do that!

The reason I mention all that today is the uncertain time that I face. I have been talking about it for years and now it's fast approaching, some people will know what that is and some will not but it's coming and I will need to make life changing decisions and I just don't know what to do. I like the status quo and find the whole thing very depressing saddening!

Contrary to the above, thinking about my future, needing to be careful with money and that, I bought a Play Station 3 but I will talk about that more when it arrives! I can justify this purchase all I want (It was a VERY good deal) but on top of holidays, entertaining visitors, etc I am spending a lot of cash. Obviously being single again, not doing restaurants, pub, clubbing, dates, presents, etc is saving a fortune but I NEED to reel it in a bit before I am officially skint!

The Pet Connection Northern Ireland and Things...

Well that's the holidays done and dusted and I really wish I had something exciting to tell you all but in fact I just kept my head down and hid from the world, watched a lot of movies, slept during the daylight, drank a fair bit and lived off complete junk food! Needless to say I am back at work (on Monday) and suffering, lack of sleep, bloated, drowsy, I really don't recommend it!

Played Poker last night in Wolseys, it's a great, friendly and fun get together. I was doing OK, rubbish cards like last week and eventually went all in with pocket Q's, called with AK, flop comes AKA and my night is over, goodbye! There is always next week...

So on to The Pet Connection Northern Ireland. A buddy of mine (Clare) has set up a pet walking / minding / caring service in the Belfast area. The rates are very fair and she just loves animals. So if you don't have time to walk your dog, don't want to leave you pet at kennels or just want someone to pop in from time to time while you are at work, look her up at www.thepetconnectionni.com!

So I am off all next week for the 12th July holidays here and that will probably mean that I will not post that week, boo hoo you say!

Not much to talk about tho, tonight off to John's, Sat I will be watching the Live Earth event, it's on BBC TV: 12.30pm - 4.00am, where you'll be able to see the London concert and highlights from around the world on BBC ONE and BBC TWO. So I will be watching that and drinking beer all day. The line up is fantastic, some of the highlights for me are:

Beastie Boys ~ Bloc Party ~ Corinne Bailey Rae ~ Duran Duran ~ Foo Fighters ~ Genesis ~ Kasabian ~ Keane ~ Madonna ~ Metallica ~ Razorlight ~ Red Hot Chili Peppers ~ Snow Patrol ~ Akon ~ Bon Jovi ~ Kanye West ~ The Police ~ Wolfmother ~ Snoop Dogg ~ Rihanna

Sunday we have the British GP and that leads me in to next week, no plans really except Poker on Tuesday night. Amy is away on hols all week too so that sucks but such is life!

Have a fun weekend everyone and I will be on MSN as usual!

It's A Bloody Post - Shut Up...

How good were the last 3 episodes of Doc Who, "Here come the drums, here come the drums, baby, baby, baby...." Just brill! It's the first time I have enjoyed it since Rose left, roll on the next season and a new companion, I believe!

It's just ironic, Northern Ireland enters a new phase just as Mainland UK starts to take a step back in time to the old days of good old fashion heavy handed policing and the potential for your next door neighbour to be a terrorist!

It was not that long ago that towns were shut at 11pm with barriers on ever street, stop and search check points where set up randomly and every shop you went in to had burly security guards searching you! No one cared about the violation of our human rights and to top it off we now have former terrorists running our country. I really don't feel anything concerning what is going on in the mainland right now and, as I have become accustomed, did not notice anything mildly shocking in the news over the weekend, it's all a bit, well, been there, done that! To be honest it all seems a little OTT, these guys are not the IRA and should be fairly easy to stop, yes?

I had the 'pleasure' of flying to England recently and the checks at the airport where just unbelievable. Of course being a single with guy, coming form N.I. and clearly looking like a terrorist, I had my photograph taken and was tracked through that whole airport. I felt a bit violated and now there are talks of putting similar checks in place on the Tube and Trains, what a mess!

It looks like what has happened here has been a waste of time, all those lives lost and what is there to show for it, we are still part of the UK and it looks like nothing has been learnt dealing with the terrorism threat here over the decades! It's a sad state of affairs.

Oh played poker last night, went to a chip count and lost by the smallest or margins, maybe one less hand or one more and I would have had it *gutted* Thanks for the game Kayeso!

It's been a while, ain't it? I have been away (a super time was had by all, well maybe just me and no tears!!?) and otherwise engaged! I just really wanted to let everyone know that I am alive and well! Normal service should be resumed by next week! I should mention that my room is decorated, totally cleaned and dejunked. Also I set up all my favourite channels on Sky TV again, taking in such highlights as the Gamer Channel, Spain Channel and some yoof channel! Peace out!

I hate this dam weather, I could not sleep at all last night, muggy and warm, thank god there has been some rain, roll on the downturn in the weather over the next few days! My life is really boring at the mo, there just seems to be nothing going on with anyone. I have organised a little treat for myself next weekend but I will be mysterious on that for now. I am happy enough not doing much to be honest, just taking stock, saving money and entertaining myself! lol I am lucky I find that easy enough to do! Next month everything will be a little more exciting, I promise! Well it might be, there are enough things teetering on the edge that it could go completely the other way and my life could be turned on it's head, hey that's the beauty of it tho! Well something like, that!

So Hamilton won in Canada, I am not that fussed really, he is new and not etched out a character yet, it's all quite boring but good for the sport in the UK and I guess he is very marketable! Wait until the scraps start, he put some noses out of joint and the arrogance shows through, then he may become more interesting, he NEEDS corrupting! Kubica is out of hospital with no major injuries, how amazing is that and my race in next weeks GP!!

It's my god sons (Xander) birthday this weekend so heading over to Neil and Ali's for a "party" on Saturday! Friday I hope to be popping over to see John! Thursday I am getting my hair chopped, tonight and Wednesday I will mainly be fiddling! lol

I am now on facebook if you care to look me up, use my e mail address at the top! Take care and have a good day folks!

My folks have been away on holiday (back yesterday) so I took Friday and Monday off work, did not do too much, poker and drinking really! Food did not enter to much and I am sure I have lost weight. Rest of the week is going to be very quite, skint and I have lots of little things to do.

I am so bloody tired today, messed up sleep pattern is to blame and playing poker last night did not help, came second tho. I wish I had more to say really but you all know my life is boring!

I did take a personality test and apparently I am an Observer, I think it's quite accurate. What do you think? This means you're one of the more kind-hearted people around. You are unusually intuitive, and you probably understand yourself, as well as others. That also means you're a good mediator - though you may prefer to spend more time on your own than most.

You are better equipped than many to steer your life in the right direction. Understanding more about the components of your personality will reveal unique information that even people like you might not realize. And the better you know yourself, the more confident you'll be making decisions that affect your life.

Lastly today here is my current iTunes Playlist, you all know you wanna comment on it:

The End Of Delivering Milk To Glastonbury....

Last week was the end of an era! My Mom stopped getting milk delivered to the house. Now I have no idea who still gets this done, I bet most of you buy it from Tescos or pick a pint up in the garage on the way home from work but never in my life (at home) have I had to do this. Milk and fresh orange have always been at our door every morning! I am sure that my rents in their 70 years on this planet have always had milk delivered, in fact it was probably the first form of recycling and I believe this is a sad state of affairs in our country. Apparently it was not paying the guys to do the run anymore, few people got it delivered saying the price was too high and so they had to give it up, they could not even sell it on!

I would love to be the man going in on Friday, most of my time is spent with chicks and I can handle every conversation turning to looks, fat, eating or fashion! One final though, why the hell is the fridge beside the smoking area, I know they want intermingling but food and smoking together aint the best combo!

I have decided (right or wrong) to post on this subject today to explain a huge and not very nice thing I have done. I feel awful, caused pain and hurt. I suppose we have all been there and there is no easy answer or get out of jail free card. I split up with Dimples! She did not deserve to be hurt, it's not fair on anyone, I have been on the receiving end of that big time but it had to be done, the correct decision if you will!

I doubt she will read this, I couldn't. I know she will get over it, go on to do great things that I would be jealous of and that there is the perfect partner out there for her. It just wasn't me!

On a lighter note my first order from Play.com was 5 years ago on 28/05/2002 and since then I have made 128 orders, who knows how many items that is or what it's cost, I am scared to calculate it! Maybe I could send some stuff back as I am completely skint, car TAX, insurance, MOT, huge credit card bill, blah, blah. Obviously this will all be sorted when I get paid but right now it's just a weight!
