late post

So I think I must becoming to the end of all the transition period of my life before I move on to bigger, brighter, excitinger, funnier times and experiences. I say I must becoming to the end as things seam to be getting more and more of a challenge, trying to stop all the people who want something off me at bay is becoming more and more of a tight rope and I think I'm starting to see physical changes all down to the stress of dealing with all this stuff. All is going well when it comes to the selling of the one and only house in my life but TIME is the main pain in my ass. B8ut saying all that there are still many time in my week when I'm truly happy, granted the car problems have made getting around more difficult and the added money aspect of fixing the old banger is not what I need right now but still the happy times come through time and time again! My be I should be a life coach with all the good vibes! Think I’ll stick to what I know for the time being.

I'm still keeping pretty busy and not letting the lack of money dampen my mood, although most of my good time, well all of my good time tends to be in Manchester. Got a night out Thursday related to work which I'm looking forward to but spending any money is something that stands out in my mind so I will try to spend very little! May be shots!

Lets think positive and look forward to what is coming, living in Manchester and having clean clothes instead of carrying 3/4 days of clothes around with me. Not having to live alone even if that means making some adjustments, being closer to work and not spending nearly 2 hours in rush hour just to get in, being able to go out for a drink after work instead of saying ‘I cant drink I have to drive’, being close to you know who! Which will be a very good thing! VERY GOOD PEOPLE.

So now I have the plan everything else must just fall in to place!?! Well I hope so, people tell me things will be ok but I think when your in the thick of things and it’s you future in balance and such a tight balance you cant just switch off and forget about your problems, I wish I could and when this is all over one way or another trust me I will be the on who switched off at every bad bit of news but the next few weeks could quite easy decided the financial out come for me which could impact in a good way for months to come or in a bad way for possibly years to come, I wish that was an exaggeration but if things go really pete tong I could be paying for it for a very long time. But with out people telling me thing will be ok I don’t think I would even be in the mood I'm in right now! So how ever crap I feel sometimes with out there support I don’t think I would even be here now, having the happy times in my life so a big thanks peps.

Well I think that would be my hart and my feelings on a plate so enjoy,

Keep smiling

So what up peps?

I started to listen to a bloke called Scott Matthews, you can check out his myspace here and after hearing exclusive I was hooked, The girl friend managed to get tickets to his Manchester gig last week and it was awesome! Really good and I can get the cd out of my head and for good reason its amazing! Go and buy it people.

So after my car had been running so well after having in at the garage you can imagine my surprise when I stated with the same trouble again, at the same time I was trying to get the paperwork back to the solicitors after they lost the last lot! Had to get picked up by the AA today just to get home and the nice bloke who checked my car out didn’t look to convinced it would only need ‘a little work’. CRAP so I have to get my back to the garage for the verdict.

Something that has been keeping my bust is some video work, there is a work chrimbo do coming up and I had the idea of doing some montage for each category, there is A LOT of work to do but the stuff I have done looks good in my book and I'm really liking the job, we shall see if it all comes together.

Right I'm off, got some more editing to do and I want to get to bed early ish as I'm back in Manchester tomorrow, something that makes me feel so much better!

Love you x

i miss you! you miss me?

Sorry I have been ignoring you but ive been busy, went to a gig on Sunday and I haven’t stopped working on some more video projects for work, but I promise I will stop and check in soon.

All day at work and no where to go!

Howdy People, How's tricks? Good/Bad to hear!

So after the bank tried to dampen my mood and they got a good start i had a change of hart and the sunshine broke through the black clouds to make me me again! There was one thing which made this so and its down to Msn and the people i chat to, thanks people for putting me back in a good mood! Still the bank tried to take my happiness from me and so do the water, gas and electric people but they have to catch me first! Things aren’t that bad but with the change from weekly to monthly pay it really messed up my accounts and money flow, i don’t think im the only one at work with the same problem, Thanks Work!
Still not much movement on the house so i have tried to stop hoping for a cretin time, say at the end of November because these date's i keep setting up in my mind as 'my' goals just come and go and every time that happens i feel crap and im sick and fed up of that feeling, now this doesn’t mean it makes me depressed as my life on a happiness scale is at the very top end, any happier and i feel my hart wont be able to take it!

As for the last few days they have been good, managed to get to the cinema and out for a few drinks! I had a little time free on Thursday and managed to get to look around the corner house in Manchester, now this is a old art house cinema and the booth was exactly how i expected it, very nice and cosy and it was good to see some change over and some older projectors, i managed to get down to the AMC on the same night and had a look round there, they have loads of room and a nice layout but didnt look very busy for the time of day. I think projectionist are like anyone in the same industry/field they all stick together so 99% of the time they are more than happy to show people around.

One last bit of news im going to see Scott Matthews on sunday in manchester, my girl friend got me the tickets and i got his cd a few weeks ago and what a cd, i really like it so im looking forward to it.

ups and down but more downs today

Howdy all!

Got my car back and just in time for my trip to trafford! about time and only £80! which was good news! The only bit!
Solicitors managed to loses all my paper work, water board really really want some money of me, my bank wants to close my account and keep tiring to take all the fuck up's that my Ex made out of my account! If you do want to fuck me over i think there is a queue so get in line.

But life is not all bad! I did get to spend some time in Manchester, and plans permitting i will be back soon, AND I got to watch the Dr who spin off Tourchwood tonight a few days before it comes out and on a cinema screen in HD and my god did it look good, really really good. The show overall good but i think it could and probably should grow in to a very strong show

But after all the crap im still happy as the photo above shows (Handsome devil!) why? New place to live soon? The girl Friend? Fun? Games? life? im sure its got something to do with each and everyone, i truly cant wait to find even more happiness but im starting to lose fath 'its round the corner' as i cant seam to get there.

But im sure one day i can sit back and read this blog and all will be well, i hope.

bargin hunter extordenare

So i tend to have enough clothes for 3 days or so as there have been many time i have intended to go home but havent due to a night out or the lack of will but i have started to incress this time i spend away from home, it not planned but just happens but i have started to run out of clean cloths on more that one occasion so the soloution for this, well i can find a bargin shirt or tshirt preaty much any where! i dont want to be spending loads of money every time i hit such a problem but £3/4 on a shirt is well im my budget! now please dont think i will lower my dress standards thats asuming i had some to begin with but you can find loads of bargins it just knowing where to look for them, i wright this today as its one of thouse days, i had enough cloths to last me up to today but now with in invite out for to night there is no way im going to turn what could easly be a fantastic night down just because i have got clean cloths, SO Bargin hunting time!

42nd Street and about time

So my last day off of my 6 days holiday and what could i do? Well after spending all day getting ready and drinking coffee i made my way back to Manchester for a night out, where did i end up on this night out well 42nd Street and about god dam time, i have many friends who rave about this place so it was good to finally see what its all about! And i had a fantastic night out, and only £1 a bottle helped my mood when it comes to spending money!

But back to work today and really not feeling to good and its not down to the beer, got the flu AGAIN and this times its all about feeling crap and with the thought of coming back to work after only finishing 8 hours earlyi dont think im going to feel to good tomorrow!

So on my travels through Manchester i like to take photo's of things for what ever reason but here are a few

This is the old Odeon cinema in Manchester

This is the Central Libraryjust across from the Odeon

From last weeks paper, cant remember which one just liked it

MY surveyshould have been done today, why it took them 6 weeks last time and only 6 days this time in beyond me but im happy about it, spoke to my garage friend and hes not to sure what could be causing problems with my car. 1 min it ok next its not! Sound expensive to me!

a great weekend

i spent the last weekend in Manchester, with some time off from work what better way to spend it! Didn't really get up to much just some well need TLC but had a wonderful time non the less.
Not much to report on the car as i have got any! its in the shop and my friend is looking at it, didn't help as it started with out problem and ran fine, this is good i hear you cry! not if it breaks down one cold stormy night miles from any network coverage! But hopefully i will hear some news tomorrow before i head back to Manchester for a night of drinking, i hope my illness holds off but up to now its just an annoying cough!
Started working on a myspace account, im not much of a fan but i needed to know how to do it and edit the dam thing for a friend, it like cocaine, once you start you cant stop, tweak here tweak there!
Well in off searching youtube for the next gem, have a good night allx

back on the ball

so after yesterdays news i didn't hold much hope to get back on the selling a house ladder well not in the near future, had what i thought would be one of many viewing booked for today so back to cleaning the house and all that for the next god know how long but with a fantastic twist of fate the bloke offered £70,000! its no £73,000 but at this stage of the game it was something i was willing to go for and have! It sounds promising and there is no chain to think about so good news!
Now its back to the start and week after week of waiting but i intend to get things speeded up, things like susurveys can be done now, why wait for a stupid acceptence letters 3 weeks down the line before booking things like this is, is not the 1st property the bloke has bought through my estate agent and he's mean to be quick which is right up my street, so back to fighting off the people who want money of me for some reason or another until can get sold!
Back to square 1 but this time with a broken car! my sis said i could borrow some money off her but i dont like it, i think i will have to unless my car is completely but Monday will tell!
Wish me luckXr>

not the news i wanted!

So after the car problems i have just had and now the added hassle and money aspect i have had some more bad news, i be honest i think doing well with it as it big ish! My house sale has fallen through! the people still want the house but there is something going on with the bloke and his job! the offer for £65,000 is still there and there are people looking round tomorrow but now there have been 5 wasted weeks! something that pissed me off was i was the one ringing round the ssurveyorsto find out it had been ccanceled7 days ago! WTF was my estate agent doing? Why ddidn'tthe people buying by house call them? Thinking of going postal on my estate agent as lets not forget he will be getting payed for this!

Now this dose cause some big ffinancialproblems and i think im going to have to start getting pissed of as now the Ex dosnt pay anything to the house, Zip, Big Fat 0. now i know she has her own debts but so do i and we are back to the key fact, no house = no money!

So after the car issue i decided to spend some time in manchester and thats where i come from right now and to be hhonestim still happy and having fun wwhiledealing with this shit storm, mad i think so but im just going with what makes me happy!

Love you

Theft of car number plates update!

My plates were used in a drive off, Not a drive by thank god s I don’t think the police would have rung me but come round with gun’s!

So I'm thinking next time I have no money and need some petrol hey presto! Drive off! Knowing my luck they would have caught the bloke and got my plate when I come to do it so scratch that idea.

long time no see party people!

Hi all,

Ok lets start, I come to you tonight righting this blog in Manchester, yes I know again but what can I say about this beautiful city! Got to go out again last night and ended up in Fab Café which for those of you who haven’t gone it great, ok great for me who loves film and stuff along them lines but I think most people would like it if you give it a go, many drinks later and even saw that but ugly fella of coronation street, Kirk of something like that and back to the flat. Now I think I did well as the previous night I didn’t get to sleep due to some intense msn action till 2am and then back up at 6:30 for work, I know that’s not what I should have done but hey I'm a big boy now and I would like to think I would know what’s best for me so anyway 2am – 6:30 – Work at 8 and up the largest Imax screen in the country with every set of tools and safety equipment to change a HF unit, Now this screen is huge and takes sometime just to climb and with all the extra stuff you need to take it become a slow and painful job so you can imagine my joy to find I had not taken the right tools up with me (again! Not the first time, you would have thought I would have learnt) I wasn’t a happy bunny, so back up on Monday with the right tools to change the smallest part up there.

So tonight I have a trip to the lovely city of Liverpool for a night out, get to meet some new faces and hopefully make some new friends. It has seamed to have turned out to be a big weekend as these friends are the friends of my girlfriend and coupled with the planned events of Sunday it seams I'm going to get all the nervous stuff out of the way in the space of a weekend, Now I say nervous but I dint really feel that way, anyone would want to make a good impression but the way I think is if they don’t like me that’s ok to, everyone is well entitled to there own very unique point of view.

As for the house it seams like someone is working to slow the entire process down, why of for what propose is unclear but things seam to take forever to get done, I know I'm going to impatient about this matter but I'm sure of it, got a voice mail from the people doing the survey last Friday, spent all day trying to get back to them with no joy but that would have involved them answering the phone! Spoke to estate agent Tuesday and they said the would let them have access to my house to get it done, rand the survey people again Wednesday just to check and they said the survey had been up on hold due to the mortgage company, so back to the estate agent and they called me back saying everything is ok and it should be done soon! It should have been done at the beginning of the dam week but with people pissing around it cost me another week! So still no survey and I'm still sat around waiting for the dam thing to be done with bills and bills piling up around me and with the lack of pay from work for the next 3 weeks its going too become an interesting time.

Something which I have been considering as a treat for me was a digital camera, a video not a photo one, it starting to become a hobby and I seam to have more and more ideas which I want to put in to play, I'm looking a solid state cameras as they are a lot smaller the min-dv or the other ranges, solid state records to memory cards which has it draw backs but the size of the thing is a main point in my book for the different use’s I will need it for. So £200 ish would get me a ok one but I don’t want to end up buying another one a few more weeks down the line as my demand for quality grows so I have been looking around and have spotted a few so stay tuned in to see if I spend money I don’t have!

So not managed to upload my blog so another entry, Had a fantastic night out sat, spent most of the night dancing and drinking and having SO much fun, what a awesome night out, really really good with no exception. There was fantastic music all night which kept me dancing all night, meet a load of wonderful new people and had fun getting to know them and back on a night buss with the chance to meet some more nice if strange people.

Sunday starts only after 5 hours sleep with a trip to see the girl friends family, now I bring this up as in any body’s book it’s a big ish deal, I think things went well and had a good time meeting some really nice people, got on well with her younger nice and nephew which I think went down well, always trying to score brownie points!

So the weekend was full of fun, lacking in sleep but all well worth it!

has it got to that stage already?

So the weekend approaches and guess what! Im off, yes that’s right folks got sat and sun of in the same week so what do i plan to do with the two days off together? Well i have an invitation to meet the girlfriends family! Gulp! But you know what im kinda looking forward to it, it would only be right for me to give them the chance to check me out, 20 questions and all that but as with most things in life i would like the challenge.
Now this isn’t the only thing i would like to get done this weekend, my car is still eating alternator belts on a weekly basis, i have another set of boxes ready to go round to my mums (i reckon she thinks im slowly moving in) but it would make moving easier for me when the time comes which leads me nicely on to the house and nothing new to report, tick tock but nothing! not that im there that much anyway but the bills still need paying! Soon People Soon!

Lost was 1st brought to my attention before it hit the uk screen's, i will be honest the brief explanation from my reliable source i wasn’t really taken with the idea of some people sat on a island somewhere but after watching all 24 episodes in as many hours i have been a keen follower ever since. The 'extra' stuff associated with the show from web pages and voice mail really adds something else to the whole experience, the new season starts on the 4th October .

Studio 60 is a new show recommended by Cinemec-tv (the one stop shop for all tv info) and i managed to watch the first 2 episodes last night and i liked it, not the normal show i would tend to watch but good non the less

Battlestar Galactica Well what can i say, the cilons are back and now some of them look cute! im sure there are web site's out there for having sex with machines but anyway this new take on the old tv show looks and feels fantastic, i really like the way the space shots are taken and im looking forward to the new season which starts on the 6th October..

My name is Earl Is now back on our screen! Well if you live in the states or happen to know how to use Bit torrent (i don’t condone the use of illegal bit torrents or break of copy right) and if last season is anything to go off this one should be good, watching the show an slowly make you believe in the concept of karma or maybe that’s my impressionable mind.

Stargate SG1 and Stargate Atlantis. Stargate SG1 is now on season 10 which will bring it to the last of its run and Atlantis is a baby in comparison and running season 3 but has the go a head for the next season, i know some people find these show kinda a tacky but ive been a follower for some time now and enjoy them all.!

enjoy X
