HAZZAR! HAZZAR! HAZZAR!

I've found one of Blake's Easter Eggs!

Easter Egg No. 4 to be precise.

Apparently there are about 30 or so... he says.

I bet there's actually only 29 - so suckers like me will be forever searching for a hidden link that's not there.

I've been spending today mostly recovering from my jaw dropping to the floor as I stared in pure horror at the bank statement Natwest gave me today.

I can't believe I've spent that much in a matter of 3 weeks.

The more I think about it the more I wanna cry right now in the library whilst everyone peeks round their monitors and book covers.

All that saving and then eBay and Christmas bloody ruin everything!

I much as I am now addicted to eBay...
'I FLIPPIN HATE YOU WITH A VENGEANCE
FOR WHAT YOU'VE DONE TO ME!'
(eBay that is, not you)

I took out yet another £10 from the ATM and hurried my ass to West Wickham train station to give it to the nice man at the counter in return for 2 pieces of card.

Actually he's not as nice as that other nice man who I see on Tuesdays.

He waves to me... yes, he does.
And he gives me the OUT ticket on top of the RTN card every time... coz he's nice like that.
Thinking about it, I don't much care for the ticket man I saw today at all.

He's not a patch on this guy.

He doesn't greet me, there's no eye contact, he hands over my change very sloppily, and...

...he's bald.

Oh Well.

I'm getting on with the I,Robot book Ash gave me whilst on the train.

It's not bad really. Just nice, easy reading.

What's better is it's short.

No Pictures mind : )

No I'm only joking, I don't have any problem reading a long book as long as it's interesting.

'Are You Dave Gorman?' has to be one of my favourite books.

Hilarious stuff - If you don't know, it's about comedian, Dave Gorman searching for 54 (the number of cards in a deck - including jokers) of his namesakes with his flat mate. They end up meeting a number of amusing characters and eventually trek the globe in search of other Dave Gormans', often ending in hilarious consequences. Check it out.

Well for a change I get to college on time. Things were going well. That is until I try to find where my lesson is on the notice board.

The fact is... there is no notice.

I've looked around the places that usually am but I can't see anyone in my group.

So basically I've wasted my time and money coming in - once again. I could of done exactly the same work I'll be getting round to at home.

I've been sitting at this computer staring at a screen since 10am now.
(not really that much of an endurance test I know, but my butt cheeks are awfully numb now - I'm sitting on my keys in my back pocket I think.)

So what have I been doing all this time you ask?

Well, mostly I've been checking up all of your websites.

• I've red pretty much all of Blake's extensive RWS memories:

I don't know many of them but I do remember The Bench Society (tm) pushing people like me off their sacred bench at lunchtime... ...Havva accidentally knocking the rather expensive projector off of the trolley in Mr. Carrington's lesson... ...and the Hilarious moment when Rob McDougall managed to fall off the science balcony onto the reception chairs below...

• I've caught up on the happenings of the elusive Hob Disk. I hadn't seen it for ages but it's a good read. I've also left a few stupid comments myself.

• I've laughed in embarrassment at Newman's abandoned (and fairly useless) 'Day Of Defeat' website. ('I don't care if I didn't make my template... my websites better!' - previous Milhouse-Newman squabble. No hard feeling Newman!)

• I've checked out Aylwin's Frequency Suspects site only to find that it hasn't been updated since never. I'm not cussing, it's just it would be good to keep it up as you have got a new band member - and it looks blinding. (nice work Newman I must say)

• I've looked at Dommy C's old site. I know he works hard, so I can't have a go at him for not keeping it up. Nice Colour Palette dude.

• I've realized just how kool Jonnie T's Blunt Skulls website is. (Jonnie T - RWS's once very own Hard-Rocking, Ska-Lovin, Checkered-Wearing Art-Making Amigo) I love the picture of Jonnie T in his customized suit. Has anyone got a copy I could have?

• I've also gained inspiration from his brilliant DIVMAN comics (Unfortunately there's only 7. We Want More! Jonnie!).

Currently, I'm in the thought process of presenting a website with the bunch of cartoon characters I made over the years. I might make a few strips over Christmas time too. They've been recent 'train journey project' which I've developed from this one drawing I did in RWS called the Chipstick family*. Expect to see it in the new year. Bet you can't wait can you?

So. Yeah. It's been nice surfing today. Good to see how you've all got on.

I must admit, reading those memories of Blake's kinda brought a tear to my eye. Makes me realize how good those times were. Infact I really wish I could go back and re-live them. I would definitely change a lot of things that I did/didn't do. Not embarrassing stuff or anything. More the fact that I could been more involved in my surroundings and the people I was around.

I've actually been thinking the past few days how I should make the most of days - that time is wasted on the youth and I should get off my ass and enjoy life.

If only it was that easy though.

If I'm to make an early New Year's Resolution, it would be to do just that.

The first step for me has to be getting organized.


BTW - Congratulations on reading this far if you have... I would have been bored out of my head if I was reading this. Look at me babbling on.


Well, to finish off this sentimental mush crap, I just wanna take this reflective moment to say that although I wish some things were better, I'm grateful for the memories I've had, I thank everyone that I know, everyone whose been there for me and everyone I care for. Be it family or acquaintance, I want you to know that I love you guys. And I know it's sounds sissy but I'm being serious when I say that. You shape the world around me. Honest.

(you can puke now)


All the best.
Take it easy.
Over & Out.




*Once I pushed a Salt & Vinegar Chipstick into my forehead for a bet after school.
I ended up getting got loads of cuts from it, the vinegar made it irritated and I had to get the bus home with my co-mates asking why I had huge red rash on my forehead...

...I've never looked an actual Chipstick in the face since.
