Gay shopping!

I decided after a small bonus from work I would buy some new cloths, I asked one of the fellas from work if he would like to come out with me to get my new cloths, as we were shopping he pointed out we could be 'Gay Shopping'. Now in not a homophobe nether is my friend and its not meant to be an insult but just two blokes shopping like they were a couple. (no kissing rule though) And what fun it was, once you start to 'Gay shop' you start to notice other gay shoppers as your 'gay-dar' kicks in. Well after all that i did end up with a new shirt and jeans for £60 ish, how can girls go out and get a new outfit for £20??? I don’t understand ???? equal right hay!!!!


i would like to take this opportunity to thank GreenDay, this may sound odd but stick with me. I am starting to spend a lot of time walking to and from the train station and spending a lot of time on the train meaning I have started to lessen to music more and more, having this time to think can be a very bad thing epically with the frame of mind im in at the moment but thanks to greenday i can get from A-to-B and on to-C and have fun and be happy and not worry thanks to one band, yep greenday.

Car update is not worth doing as there is no change, its still there and its still broken

When is your home not your home?

Now my home is starting to empty there is some positive feeling in clearing out the crap but with that comes getting rid of things that I would keep but now with the change coming there isn't any room for it, IM not stupid and I can keep the things that are important to me (well material things any way).

But now with my house starting to empty there is a feeling that my home is now not my home, well not the home it was once. IM not blind to the changes that are and will take place in my life and I look forward to some of the changes but its taking the 'rough with the smooth' 'good and the bad' 'ups and the downs' and many more ways of putting it.

CAR UPDATE

BREAKING NEWS !!!

NOTHING !!!!


Waiting to hear from a friend about someone working on my car, he will be someone who works of a garage (big one) and will do work of cash in hand, its cheaper and the bloke will do a good job for me (trust me!) But IM still in the dark about what it is, it could be the bearings but could be a frame issue or suspension damage! The list goes on! But it should be the next few days and things should start moving and I don't need my car for the next week or so.

Stay tuned for more CAR UPDATES!!!!

Some people collect stamps!

Well some people collect stamps, coins, t shirts and many many things but I collect posters. Not just any posters but film posters, as in any collection there are things you must know before you start collecting,
there are 2 types, quad and 1 sheet.
Quads are the UK standard posters which are the bigger of the two types.
1 sheet are standard around the world, these poster tend to stay unchanged from the us versions, they also look better in my eyes. Don't get me wrong there are some fantastic quad posters out there.

You also see the British edits of posters, the one I remember the most is 'replacement Killers' the original one sheet had Chow Young Fat pointing a gun at you, the quad had this gun removed. SAD I THINK

So I had to tidy up today and sort through my posters so I thought I would give you a look in to what I have.

Enjoy







































Poseidon adventure



Well another remake of a film that never needed it, Got to watch the latest Hollywood has to offer in the way of big budget, big (ish) cast. I say ish as Kirk Russle is in it and I know he has done some big films and im not saying he is bad at what he dose but he has been round the block a few times.
The original was made in 1972 and stared Gean Hakman and was. Nope is fantastic. With real depth and a sense you are in the thinks of things fighting for your life and now 20 years on we have a more up-to-date version for people of the world, so instead of models and cheap sets (compared to today's sets) we have stunning visual affects, huge and expensive sets and a stuning sound track (many times I looked round thinking there was someone there but it was just the sound of dripping water from the surround speakers) which for me makes up for the fact the film however polished doesn't do one better than the original

Xmen 3

Well to got an early screening of one of the summers big box office hit was something most film lovers would do, so after getting pissed and staying out till 4am, getting 4hrs sleep, putting back on the close that were still piss wet through from the walk back pissed and then starting a 12hr day at work to hang around for that load of tripe.
Ok, Hang on, it want that bad but it could have, should have been better.

If you like films I would think you would lessen to film reviews! Don't you? So if some one says Da Vinci Code is crap why would hundreds of people come to see it? Im not complaing as it pays my wages but just don't understand it!

Car update 2, the revenge of the bearings

Well after my longish trip its official, my car needs some work after my brush with death, there isn't and vibration and the handling is ok (well ok for my car) but there is some low noise coming from the wheel which hit the kerb. Now to me that screams BEARINGS! So now need to get it fixed as my car has become my life line. And STOP THE PRESS im going to pay to get it fixed instead of trying to get it done myself.

Watched the last Scrubs last night (season 5), I relay like scrubs and its a very funny show, I have some comfort that there will be a new season soon.

Car update

Well after changing the wheel and trying to spin it the bearings and shaft don't appear to be damaged but as I need my car for a longish trip tomorrow I will take it for a spin tonight just to see how it is, if my last trip was anything to go by this may be my last blog.

Where is the best place to live

After deciding to move to the big city its now time to decided where I would like to live, I can make any decisions yet as the house still has to go before I can 'up sticks' and move.

There seam to be 2 options.

  1. House/Flat share
  2. Flat 'on my own' rent

I have spent 6 years in my own house and are quite happy with the room and privacy you get with that but after speaking to family it sounds like a better option to share a house, its cheaper and there is someone there instead of being alone. The only problem I can see with this is 'trust', I would find it hard to move in with a stranger. IM sure I could get used to it but at the moment I would like to live with friends but this isn't always possible.

There is the option to move in with my mum for a while and IM open to the possibility if it would mean I would move some where I want to live.

Hummm this could take a while any way.

The other thing that is on my mind is ....... Got lied to again, after I just wanted the truth weeks ago. I cant decided how I feel about it and if im pissed off. I know what other peoples toughs are on it but its not the same when you have the inside eye in to the person and situation but at the end of the day it was a lie to me. The silver lining (everything tends to have a silver lining) is the relationship I had for the last 6 months was a lie, relationships, love, trust don't mix with lies.
personally I think I can cope with it like most things in life but it just adds to the hurt.

this is what happens when you swerve to avoid and animal, I think it was a fox but its not that easy to tell when you are in a car spinning round and round! I think its damaged the bearings aswell! I know I should look at the fact im alive but not sure that makes me feel any better at the moment.

So Hi Train! I hate the train, is not that cheaper, cramped, hot and it takes me longer to get to and from work!

Day 1 of new life

Its funny, I may be single and very alone but nothing has changed. I still live in the same place and do the same job.
With out my job and work friends I think I would have been losing this battle now, We all work with people (well most of us) and I have to say its one of the most hart worming things for the people I work with to show such amazing support. Well they aren't my work friends but friends I work with.

Life has to change

I feel like I have to put this on my blog as it happened on the very day I started my blog and there is something to be said for typing out the events of my life.

To spend 9 years of ones life with some one worth spending 9 years with is some thing some people never find in life, Well that has come to an end for me. I can see the problems and can even understand that things have to end its very scary to let them.

Short Term Plan

  • Cope with the down days in my life, talk to my friends and family.
  • how ever stupid it sounds I have to be strong for her, im never going to be a nasty person.
  • look at selling house and look at money.
  • Start getting rid of stuff I don't need.

Long term Plan

  • Move out of town, I have no ties here but will have people who do mean something.
  • Start a new life with a complete change in my life style.

I know I don't have many points but I feel I cant plan for the future to much as I cant control everything.

Today how ever strange is a good day, well as good as I think they will be for possibly a long time. Maybe to was vodafone, no I don't think so.

Well I intend to keep posting so you to can feel the pain, hope, fear, loss and even possibly the joy of this love in my life.


Stay classy Manchester

Vodafone

After spending most of the week deciding what new mobile phone to get I decided to get a Sony Ericsson W810i, I had the K750i which is a fantastic phone.
After looking for the best deal I found that vodafone had a fantastic deal so I decided to get my phone from the vodafone store on king street in Manchester (under the food court).

I spent 30 mins trying to get something extra out of the bloke selling me a phone but I got nothing which I was pissed off about, 4 days on and my new W810i would no longer start up and would get to the loading screen and hang. 4 days old and its stopped working! So I want back in expecting to spend the next 30 mins trying to get it fixed and with in 2 mins I had a new phone. I didn't have to send it back to Sony, they just gave me a new phone.

Thx Vodafone

ps they still like to put the name and logo every where on the phone but who doesn't?
