Packed out Halloween weekend. Sunday 1st November 2009, 11:58 AM
I know ive told a few people that i was off to see X factor this weekend in Wembley, which has been true but we didn't actually get in! Alex and Simon, both from Brighton came down to join us in London. they has some spare tickets which are valid if the VIP members don't show up. We were meant to meet them in London about 5ish but lines were down and bus replacement services took a lot longer than planned. Because of this me and paul were sent to the back of the queue with Alex and Simon 50 yards ahead.
When we got nearer the front they counted 30 people as standby with the cut-off just in front of us, we were told that it wasn't worth us waiting, so we visited Alex and Simon and stood with them. It got to about 6 and as the show started all of us were told we wouldn't get in since a lot of the VIP members had turned up. we was only waiting for an hour, but we felt bad for Alex and Simon since i think they were there best part of 3! we went in search off food and then went off clubbing with Alex till about 4am and headed home in good, but tired spirits.
Today me and Dee booked rock climbing with Paul and Ross and had a fantastic time. I was attached to Ross and Paul attached to Dee, at either end of the rope, and the midst of the rope at the top of the climbing route. I thought for sure if Ross slipped and fell i would for sure be catapulted into space, but surprisingly, i controlled Ross on the way down via a lever release system slowly lowering him down when he reached the top, even though he's a fair amount heavier than me, but a built like a brick!
It was great spending time with Ross but what i can gather, he still loves his ex, but had to break on distance terms. He wants to live somewhere besides the city and from what i can gather he's in that picture, not me. I have to show him what i have to offer, but most of the vibes are getting are mate ones, even in his texts...
Oh and also FINALLY bought my 350D SLR camera and playing about as you can see
Trying a different direction... Sunday 6th September 2009, 8:02 PM
Its been so long since i wrote a blog, so thought id just add a little something here. Ive been up to a lot, Joining the gym, New phone, A small crash on my bike, out and about too. Its nice to have a speedy phone again, I invested into the iPhone 3GS and its not bad at all, the camera is great quality although, no flash, the movies are great quality and smooth, and overall pace of the phone is great. 3G and my network is a little patchy though, you can be in a static location sitting down somewhere and have full network with 3G, then all of a sudden it can be searching for a network, can be rather frustrating, conclusion; Edge, more coverage but slower, 3G fast but VERY patchy.
Ive been going to the gym, joined Fitness First and am putting on weight, going about 3-4 times a week and loving it! Paul should be joining at the end of the month so that's something to look forward to. Claire said she may join too so could be a very fun time! It been good going out and clubbing with Paul, Dee and Claire, and also Joobie, Claires room-mate, going to Fire, and last night Beyond, fun stuff!
Also had a minor crash on my bike recently, was merging between centre right lane to the left and managed to drive right into an island that separate the two lanes, although there was nothing on it, i failed to see it in darkness, drove into catapulting me off the bike, cracked the fairings, snapped the brake lever, bent and scraped the scraper bar, and finally ruined the front wheel, bursting the tyre and tearing the metal by a spoke.
Ebay is such a lifesaver, I got a new rim for £75 that i cleaned up. I then primered, painted, and lacquered the rim, and got the type and brake disc swapped over from a local company for a tenner and the other 3 parts i got off of ebay to for about £6-7 for the brake handle and scraper bar, sorted! i do need find someone that can repair fairings but considering the rim i did, I may have a shot at it myself...
