Ummmmmmmm, wellllllll.

Not a lot to say regarding the trials and tribulations of my life lately.

Getting used to being single again, which is strange. I'm having good days and bad days. These things take time I guess. To make matters even worse, i'm also going bald and getting old. Brilliant. It never rains, it pours.

To top it all off, my football team are completely useless too. I've started up a new blog to follow them, feel free to have a read and comment as you see fit. I try to comment more on the days out as opposed to the footy titself. It's here: http://adayoftheweek.blogspot.com/

I'll have to try and keep this a bit more updated. Hopefully with more positive tales. One good thing is that i'm booking a flight to Australia tonight (again). For March next year. So i'll have that to look forward to.

Apart from that? Swimming and football tonight will hopefully make me feel a little better.

You stay classy San Diego.

Women... again.

Tue, 30 Sep 2008 10:09:12 GMT

Jesus christ.

Does this have to happen EVERY year.

So, my girlfriend of over 3 and a half years called me up yesterday and said she's not happy YET again as apparently we don't communicate enough or spend enough quality time together.

This confuses me as we see each other every single weekend (she moved to Edinburgh to study, which i'm totally fine with). But she must realise of course you have to work on things when she is in a different place, it's not always going to be rosy.

Shit WILL get complicated and stressed, but it's about dealing with that when it does get too much. We all communicate effectively through different ways... not ALWAYS talking. To say i'm a upset is a bit of an understatement :(

I just want to curl up and die. I'm not built for this emotional grinder and just want to be happy (with her). I just hope it can be worked out.... but it's not looking too rosy.

Grand Theft Auto 4

Wed, 30 Apr 2008 14:44:52 GMT

AMAZING.

That is all.

Later poopfaces.

dusts off cobwebs

Thu, 24 Apr 2008 08:49:58 GMT

Haven't updated this for a while!

How is everyone?

Not much happening, getting older, losing hair (not for a while yet though), knees getting creaky.

Still, not all bad. Got offered a new job yesterday, so my current dilemma is whether to accept it or not. Trying to resolve my current contract situation here at the university, so maybe this will give them a kick up the arse. Who knows.

Off to think in a dark room.

Sexy times.

France 0 - 1 Scotland

Thu, 13 Sep 2007 09:17:08 GMT

YASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!

How the fuck did we do that? AGAIN!

Surely we must be the best team in the world since we've beaten the number 1 ranked team twice in a year now.

I pray to god we don't do our usual and fuck it up. This would be the best performances EVER from Scotland. Please don't fuck it up.

Ps, some hangover today.........

Holiday fun.

Thu, 19 Jul 2007 15:04:16 GMT

Aberdeen 2 - 0 Rangers

Mon, 21 May 2007 09:55:07 GMT

We're the Dons, from Aberdeen,
and we're the finest, that's ever been,
and we're gonna do it for you,
and we're gonna do it for you,
McLeish and Miller, and Strachan too,
will take us forward, and take us through,
cos we're gonna do it,
we're gonna do it,
we're gonna do it for you.
...
CHORUS:- We're taking our team into Europe,
Yes we are oh yes we are,
all the way, every night and day,
singing the european song.
Oh all the way, every night and day,
singing the european song.
...
We can sing, and we can play
cos Alex Ferguson, he knows the way,
and we're gonna do it,
we're gonna do it
we're gonna do it for you
...
(Repeat Chorus)

The pesky creature that is woman....

Wed, 09 May 2007 14:33:35 GMT

... yes, women are all shit. I don't really know what else to say.

(sorry ladies, I don't mean that about you all, maybe. Some of you are nice? Surely?)

Still, at least it's sunny, and there will be strawberry beer tonight!

:)

What's everyone else up to?

Weekend break ideas??????????????

Thu, 03 May 2007 11:02:47 GMT

HEY YOU! YES YOU!!!!!

Do you have any good ideas where to go for a long weekend break?

It can be abroad or in the uk... suggestions would be good!

Oh, and somewhere relatively cheap would be good too........

Over to you......

OLD OLD OLD

Fri, 23 Feb 2007 10:45:20 GMT

Woo, T in the Park tickets go onsale tomorrow (which sadly means I have to get up early to get them booked). DAMNIT! Still, it's a kinda 3 day event this year..... and there are some good bands playing, so it should be a good weekend as usual. www.tinthepark.com for details.

Also, sadly no-one is around for my birthday this weekend, so it looks like i'll be spending it alone. Callum (away on holiday), Steve (away on holiday), Colin (away on holiday), Dave (away on holiday), PJ (away on holiday), Strawbs (away for weekend), Dunc (away offshore), Martin (away offshore), Scott (away offshore), Mike (gay). So it's gonna be a quiet affair! I might just stay in. And buy lots of beer and treats!

We shall see. I am also currently addicted to strawberry beer..... and pool, and curries, and football. Anyway, ho-hum.... back to work.

Sooooooooooooooooooooooo.................

Mon, 19 Feb 2007 13:13:28 GMT

..... what's been happening lately with me?

Ummmmm, well quite a lot.

I lost all my hair in a freak smelting accident as you can see. I was lucky though, it could have disfigured me. As it was, a lucky escape. Still, it makes all my bald friends feel better about themselves. I thought I better join the club. Dunno if i'm just visiting or if i'll join full time. Depends what the perks are!

My dad is recovering well from his heart surgery, so i'll hopefully go see my parents this weekend at some point and steal some stuff.

Which brings me to my next point.... it's my birthday on Saturday, and i'll be 2fucking9, yes, it's that all new age (everyones's doing it).... one away from the mighty 3holyshitmylifeisover0. No plans as yet, so it may be a quiet one. Or I could stop being so silly and realise i'll be jager bombing all weekend, peeing in the corner of some room and crying myself to sleep (or is that back into consciousness the next day)?

Finally i'm newly single again as my girlfriend decided i wasn't good enough for her anymore and embarked on a period of self enlightenment. It's a pity, as I really liked her and thought she was my paramore (current favourite word). Is it true that all girls are in reality insane? Or should I go gay for a while? It might work out, although i'm not fond of bums and men don't have great boobs......

Jesus, long entry today.... don't fall asleep now... come back into the light!

Holiday fun........

Fri, 12 Jan 2007 14:16:15 GMT

Just home from Australia.

Pics soon.

Was there for a month.

Went well, did lots, except i got an ear infection, and my luggage got lost on the way out and the way home!

And worst of all, my dad had a heart attack and had to have a quadruple heart bypass :( Terrible... so that kinda put a dampner on the whole trip. He'll be there for another 6 weeks recovering. He got diagnosed with asthma 4 years ago and it turns out this was wrong and it was angina.... so the doctor has made a BIG FUCK UP.

Now I have to go get checked out, blood tests ahoy for me next week.

Can't wait.

Prison Break

Fri, 29 Sep 2006 19:50:06 GMT

Anyone know where I can download it????????

Stuff....

Wed, 20 Sep 2006 10:49:57 GMT

Yawn. Tired. Been back to work for a month or so now.

Still enjoying it.

Finally ordered broadband today for the flat. About bloody time, so we'll see how useful it is! Get free phonecalls too.

Also just booked a trip to Australia for the christmas period.

Can't wait. Then next year will be all about saving. Sadly.

I really have nothing to say. Except that prison break is my current favourite tv. Better than LOST (until season 3 of LOST starts next month).

Holiday time

Wed, 09 Aug 2006 03:58:10 GMT

Made it safely to Canada.

Lots of drinking already.

Gonna get a new tattoo sometime this week.

And do more drinking.

It's so warm here though... can't sleep.

I need to get used to this heat... will take a while.

Holidays, Holidays, Holidays....

Tue, 25 Jul 2006 10:05:49 GMT

Been busy.

Started new job.

Going Well, learning lots, some i'm still struggling to get my head around.

Went to Barcelona last month.... awesome.

Off to Canada for 3 weeks next month.... bring it on.

Hope all you gays are well?

What's been happening?

Fresh Start

Thu, 04 May 2006 14:50:11 GMT

So I handed my notice in to my work yesterday, it's new job time.

I've been here almost 6 years, and I felt it was time for a change. No prospects to develop myself any further here, no payrises that were promised. NO GOOD in my eyes.

So anyway, it's taken me over a year to get a job and i'm off ot work for Aberdeen University doing e-learning software development! So it sounds like fun and I hope it is.

Always scary starting a new job and giving up the safety blanket so to speak but I hope it works out well and i'm looking forward to it!

In other news i've booked my summer holiday to Toronto for 3 weeks in August. Also going on a short break to Barcelona next month, so that should be fun too. SO SKINT now, need to save save save...................

wooooooooooo

Wed, 26 Apr 2006 14:46:54 GMT

I'm going to see 311 in Toronto in August.

WINNER!

Can't wait.

Frustration

Fri, 24 Mar 2006 12:36:32 GMT

Or maybe it is!

Mon, 06 Mar 2006 09:18:51 GMT
