Here I go again....

This year is ending the way it began... waiting for parcelforce. You may notice a new addition to the top of the page. That is my Gamercard. I need that to use with this.




Its a Xbox 360 hard disk, controller and 2 games. NO CONSOLE!! Its still on a local parcelforce van some where between here and Welwyn.

The wait is killing me... more later

UPDATE: 7:30pm - After the longest afternoon ever, I still do not have a 360. Parcelfarce say that it is out for delivery still. My mood has swung to one of extreme anger. There is gonna be hell to pay tomorrow.

Psst..Its Me! Remember?

Hello guys,

Well... I suppose I should apologise for not posting for ages... Then I noticed that not many people have updated their blogs recently, so to hell with it. :)

Life... Whats it all about? After my last post, it was all doom and gloom in the world of me. Smashed windows and things at work had me turning into a bitter twisted angry man (Something of a lifetime ambition). Since then things have been getting much, much better.

So what has happened to me since the 17th July? Where should I start... I got myself a Nintendo DS to join the PSP. That means I am enjoying the delights of virtual puppies in Nintendogs. I quit Warcraft (more on that later), Rejoined City of Heroes. Burnout rules the day on PSP and XBOX... much carnage and smashing has been had in the last 7 days.

Of course, there was the V festival. This year was as eventful as any other year. This time though I only go to be present for one day, as I got food poisoning and missed the Sunday. So I got to see The La's, Jet, The Zutons. Maroon 5 (Yuck), Kaiser Chiefs, The Dove and The Chemical Brothers. Pretty amazing day and was quickly surpassed the following Monday.
I went to see Queens Of the Stone Age at Brixton. This should not of happened and only did because Azza gave up his ticket to give to me. Thanks Sir! Needless to say QotSA rocked for 2 hours non-stop in the best gig of the year.

Max has been no end of entertainment the last few months. Although I am happy to report no serious injuries this time.

I got myself something I thought I didn't need anymore... a girlfriend. Well, it turns out that I was being a mug again andI had forgotten how good life can be. I have been seeing her now almost 3 weeks now, and things are going very well. She has made me see things in a more upbeat light again. Well guys, I had better sign off now... If I dont write for a while again, at least I have better excuse than I was just playing games.

Guess what Happened....



Thats right! A week after getting the windows repaired from the last stone assualt... more started flying tonight and now I have another smashed window. You know, this kind of thing could very well lead me never to trust or relate to another human being ever again.

Why the Fuck can I not just live in peace and block out the outside world as I see fit.

This time at least the cops turned up here 30 mins after reporting it. Waiting to see of they have any luck.

Updated look

Hopefully you can all see a Xfire window above this post. This will monitor what I am playing and for how long each week. If you think it is too much... Tell me to get out more!!

Thanks

Tick Tock went the clock

Hello again,

Welcome another installment of "Mark works through the night.... for no money at all!" Well this weeks upgrade consists of updating the servers with another version of our beloved motor trade software. Also, I get to add the suppliers missing from our electronic catalogue which at 49 new databases is taking up some time. Midnight is approaching and well.. I am writing this to keep myself entertained and awake.

I had a response to my Window Rant (Or WINRAN) which raised a interesting point...

Do Chavs know they are Chavs? or do they think it is other people?

Well... what do you think? (thanks for the thought Rob..)

Better check how my computers are doing...

25 done 24 to go :(

As soon as I am finished here, its off to 24 hour Tesco round the corner for a raid. Don't think I will bother going into the office tomorrow. Nice relaxing day at home.

How about a link to something odd? would you like that? you would!! damn now I have to think of something....

AHA! Try this... http://www.beautifulagony.com Is it porn or is it art? NOT SAFE FOR WORK!! I found it to be deeply disturbing and has left me with a hope that i never make anyone make faces like that.

oihrwoigiopirghpipijpig bored now

I left Max at home with the TV on.. I better he has had a great time... probably watching MTV.

I think I should sign off now in case this gets weird

BYE

Enjoy the Heatwave, But please think of others less fortunate.



Ah the blazing sun, the soaring tempratures and the rising tempers. Summer appears to have arrived. Great for those who are not born with a permanent fur coat. Poor old Max has suffered the last few days and even the slightest hint of shade and he is there like a rocket.

The photo was taken when I was cutting wood to board up my smashed windows. Max launched himself under this makeshift tent about 5 seconds after the board hit the ground.

Poor little bugger... how is he meant to control the universe in this heat.
