Hopefully this post will look better due to me typing it in frontpage express, anyway today all I've actually done is get my hair cut (okay, thats most of ya turning round and leaving, you coul dhave at least heard me out first ;) ). Admittedly getting your hair cut isn't a big deal, but I'd got used to having shoulder length hair, and seeing as I've got an interview tomorrow I need it to look neat, so I got it more or less completely chopped off, it's now about a centimeter long, and kinda spikey, paint me blue and I'd be a replica for Sonic :).
While I was in town I also realised how damn annoying it is when your stuck behind someone who insists on walking at about 2 steps per minute when your in a rush, and they also insist on walking directly in front of you. Then you get the groups of people that think it's fun to take up the whole path in front of them, you should be able to fit 2 people walking one way and two walking the other, but no, they insist on walking four in a line straight down the middle of the path. Kinda makes you feel like giving the guy directly in your way a punch to get him out of the way to save walking around :).
Here's something I never mentioned about myself in the first post, (although nearly everyone who is currently reading this will know most of my interests) I'm a big Heavy Metal and Hard Rock fan. I don't mind some of the club and Techno stuff, but Hard Rock will get me going every time. My top bands have to be:
Guns and Roses
Iron Maiden
Fear Factory
Linkin Park
Limp Bizkit
Korn
Metallica
Meatloaf (okay, not strictly in line with the rest of the group right here, but I still havent found a better song than Bat Out Of Hell)
Another thing I never mentioned, I'm a Warhammer fan, not a big, Warhammer fanatic, but I like playing it, plain and simple. It's interesting, tactical, and just downright fun. So basically I'm a hard rock fan, that likes wrestling and Warhammer. I told you I was strange didn't I? :)
I'm also hoping to get a message board set up for here in future with a links page as well.
On a final note, if anyone out there owns carmageddon 2 and knows of any way to get past the level where you have to kill the 4 zombies in the control tower, could you please tell me, I've spent almost a week on that one level now. If you know, please e-mail me at indefed2000@yahoo.com. (It's worth a shot :) )

Okay, just realised I forgot to post why I owe all that cash. Well here goes, about a year ago I bought a Dreamcast, I started using the net access with it, of course I suddenly get a bill in for £300, my mum wasnt pleased at this, so we buy a PC for £1200 (after a year, it's payed for itself), problem was when it arrived, about 8 months ago, my foot decided it was going to turn bright purple and swell right up, suddenyl even the slightest bit of pressure on my foot meant I was almost screaming in pain (it happened one day when i woke up, middle of the night and I'm screaming in pain like I was a 6 year old) I have no idea what happend, or how it happened, all i know is that I had trouble getting to sleep (it was winter, and because i feel the cold easily I have to have a quilt cover) because when I went to bed and pulled the quilt over me, the weight from it would hurt my foot, it took me at least an hour to get used to the pain and eventually get to sleep.
I did go to the doctor about the problem, although he had no idea what was wrong and prescribed pain killers, they didn't help in the slightest, my foot stayed the same size (although pain killers wern't going to stop that) and the pain continued, he then gave me some cream, and all that managed to do was make it easier to get my socks on and off because the cream helped them slide on, although that only helped when i was going to the doctors, because any other time I'd stay barefoot to stop the shoes or slippers (which was what i had to wear to the doctors) hurting my feet.
After 6 weeks of the doctors not knowing what was wrong, the pain disappeared as suddenly as it had appeared, and the swelling went down, no trace of what it was or anything, the only thing that showed that something had happened was the fact that the PC had arrived, and as such I had to pay for that, and the weekly bills i owed my mum (along with another phone bill which had arrived), this equalled just around £1500, so why do I owe £2000, well thats because of this ganger bsiness, sometimes theres work sometimes there isn't, and with allt he messing around of no work this week, a little bit that week etc. My bill has grown to £2000. hopefully I'll get it payed off sooner rather than later, but unless I get a decetn job, thats not very likely.

Right, I've got a blog, now what? Ah post something, thats a good start, whoever suggested that thanks ;)
Well what do i start with? I suppose I should say that I'm kinda strange when it comes to everything. away from the PC I work for, well thats a problem, i don't actually work for anyone, I OFFICIALLY work for a ganger, but I havent had any work in ages, so I'm claiming Job Seeker's Allowance, which doesn't help on the bill fron for me. I currently owe my parents £2000, as such I'm not the most popular guy in my house. I'll give the reason for owing so much a bit later.
I'm also a wrestling fanatic, I've been watching wrestling for 10 years now, or since I was 8 (I'm now 18 for those who are too damn lazy too work that out for themselves :) ), as such I know quite a bit about it, and about 8 years ago I decided it would be fun to try wrestling with a mate in school (on concrete as well), now the first thing I managed to do was pick a great friend who (even at that age) knew along with me that wrestling was fake. As such we managed to have some great matches in the schools playground (albiet being broken up a lot by the dinner ladies :), btw, David Aston, if there's any chance your reading this, e-mail me.)
it was during that time I learnt how to perform decent wrestling moves and pull off decent matches, fast forward to today, I've moved house from London to Lincolnshire (still living with my parents), and I still have the occasional wrestling match with a mate (James Wasley is his name for anyone who cares) and while most backyard wrestlers either go WAY over the top, or are too scared to een do a proper leg drop, we average it out, we don't go mad with high risk moves because we're not in a normal wrestling ring, but we don't underuse the hardcore aspect of wrestling either, so if you see a guy in a DX T-shirt getting hit over the head with a sheet of metal in the Boston region of Lincolnshire that's probably me :).
Okay, now I've bored all non-wrestling fans to sleep after that, i do have interests over than wrestling, namely TCG's, or Trading card games to anyone else, I only really play Magic The Gathering, but I do also own a stack of Pokemon cards, okay, now most of you are laughing at an 18 year old who plays Pokemon, but before you do laugh, the game is made by Wizards of the coast, the same people who make Magic The gathering, and the cards were going cheap at the local computer store, so I thought I may as well buy the starter set to see if it's any good, after reading the rules and playing a couple of test games with my mate, we were hooked, and if you ever see the starter pack going cheap, I advise you to buy it just for a quick laugh if nothing else.
Onto TV issues now. I'm a BIG Robot Wars fan (no not the crappy Battle Bots stuff, I like to see more than some poor excuses for kids toys pushing each other around thank you very much), you know that one from BBC 2, where people spend months of their time, and tons of their money to build a robot, only to get it wrecked in about 2 mins by the opponent :) But I'm not gonna bore you with that (good i hear you all say ;) ).
I also love comedy. Well stand up comedy mainly. here's a quick list of my favourite stand up comedians:
Lee Evans
harry Hill
Joe Pasquale
Ben Elton
Jasper Carrott
I can't get enough of any of them, but then there's the comedy TV programmes that I almost never miss here's a quick list of those:
Red Dwarf (come on, easily one of the best programmes in history)
Bottom
Who's Line Is It Anyway
Simpsons (not a GREAT programme for me, but I still watch it every Monday & Friday on BBC 2)
Fresh Prince of Bel Air
I used lists because it would take too long to list the reasons why, maybe when I've had a boring, nothing's happened day, I'll psot WHY I like them (that'll probably be tomorrow then ;) )
Right, now for what I do online, well for one I chat with my mates online (most of which live in America, funny, I get on better with American's than I o with my fellow Englishmen :) ) I also help run a site - 3D Fantasy Wrestling for anyone interested it's a wrestling roleplaying site (yes more wrestling, okay, thats about everyone left, probably only Glorious 1 left now :) ) and my name(s) on the site are - Prana Devil and Shane McMahon.
and here's some links to other great site:
Glorious One's blog go on, go there and cheer the guy up, last tie he checked he only got 2 visitors a day, admittedly he doesn't post every day, but then I don't expect I'll do that anyway, but hey, I'll try.
With Authority an online card game about (you guessed it) wrestling.
Rotten only visit this site if you have a STRONG stomach, some of the pics are kinda gruesome
Stile Project same as Rotten only visit if you can face some bad looking pics (anyone from 3DFW will know what I mean)
Real Life Comic a Hilarious online comic about a group of flatmates who are computer addicts, just visit the site, it's BRILLIANT!
