Heyo, just thought i'd pop on and say howdy doody to y'all.
Dont know how many of you check the time on the posted blog, but at the moment it is currently...0515, March 11th. Pulled another nearly-all-nighter just watching films and playing football manager (god damn that game is addictive). Love it because it is one of those games that you can play without having to concentrate on 100%. Flicking between that and my choice of 3 films has been how i've stayed up.
Watched Avatar again, possibly my favourite film ever, lots of people will disagree with me on this, but i really love that film. It is ever possible movie genre rolled into one about blue cat-people in space...it doesn't get much better! Then I rolled back the years and watched a 1960/70's film called First Men on The Moon. Basically these 2 guys develop some paint that negates the effect of gravity and where else would they head but the moon. I kept laughing at how they knew so little about said moon back then - they were using diving suits with their hands fully exposed on the surface of the moon! Other than that it was actually an ok movie, one of those with the REALLY bad specials effects (bug monsters obviously superimposed on a background with strings) but i quite enjoyed it. Then watched some big bang theory because i felt like it.
I guess i came on here to give me something to do, i'm at that stage where i know and want to go to sleep, but i really can't be bothered to get ready for bed...suppose im just stalling, procrastinating as i always do...
ANYWAY, onto what happened yesterday. Spent all day out in the garden helping dad's mate steve with the garden. Between us, we moved 2 tonnes of sand from the back garden round to the front, dug up all the grass on the top level of our garden, took down the wooden fence on said top level of said garden and finished off the paving by the shed. I didn't ache at all when we finished, but im really starting to feel it now. However, it is still £20 that i earned, which will be split £10-£10 between me and mum and dad (i have to pay them around £1800 for the car...this is going to take a while...might as well just keep all £20).
Today was meant to be more of the same until i realised - ITS EXAM RESULTS DAY 0.0. I hadn't really been paying much thought to it until my friends started going on about it - going down to school at 10.30 in the holidays, pff. However, there is one bonus - We're going bowling afterward to celebrate that and AG's birthday (HAPPY BIRTHDAAAAY though it's a bit late ^_^) So that should be fun...haven't been bowling in years :P
Went to see Alice in Wonderland the other day. I must have the best group of mates ever for them to put up with my dentist and change plans so readily :) Thanks guys :) The film was good...i didn't feel that it lived up to all the hype, but i still enjoyed it (again some/most people will probably disagree with me) but it was a fun night out.
Right, gonna head off and catch a little shut eye, night y'all, Duke out
(P.S what do we think of that as a sign off? I think it sounds kind of gay, but its up to you!)

When shit happens...is it really shit?
zOMFG!!!!!!1111oneone
Howdy! This is SO totally tomorrow from my last blog post, I didn't skip any days, I swear 0.0
I must say, I'm rather liking this...posting one blog per month when I get bored...really makes them seem special. However, unlike most of my other blog posts, this time something HAS happened! Not just SOMEthing, MANY things!! Hallelujah!
Where to start? Well for starters, we're on holiday now. 2 weeks of blissful sleeping in, gorging on food, hanging out with my sister at home and mates outside of said home. I must say I do enjoy these breaks as it does bring me and my sister closer together since...for want of a better way of putting it...we are left to our own devices. It's really fun andwe usually do something cool (making pancakes at 4 in the morning, trampolining for 3 hours, watching Aliens). Going to see the Krewe at PH's house tomorrow, should be a larf, though LM and AG won't be in attendance. I really feel that after the madness of the last couple of weeks, things are starting to get back into a normal rhythm.
OH YEAH! I forgot, the madness. To put it bluntly, the two relationships within the Krewe ended. HS and AG, and BC and LM. The latter I, and most others, were shocked at. There had been no prior indication at all and it came as a huge surprise, at least to us. After this, about a week later, the former split up. This was slightly less unexpected, but still something of a shock. I must admit he was a bit of a tit in the way he ended it, "we need to talk" and "It's not you, it's me" being to of the no-no's he insisted on using. But from the ashes of these two relationships have sprung the seeds of new ones, again within the Krewe. I have to admit I admire LM and AG for how they are going about things, not letting anything get to them and getting on with their lives. Good on ya guys.
OTHER BIG NEWS - I HAVE A CAR! That's right, I am now the proud owner of a 2001 Silver Peugeot 206. £1,800, every single penny of which i have to pay back by doing odd jobs around the house and hopefully getting a part-time job to help pay for it. It all started the other day when my provisional license arrived. Apparently mum had been texting and emailing me all day, though i hadn't recieved any of them. Got home to hear my name being shouted about 50 times with the license being shoved in front of my face. I didn't read much into it and thought "Great...now the long slug to May" before Dad, in his usual instantaneous way, decided we should go to a car auction in Northampton. The atmosphere there was exceedingly hectic, with a whole host of 30 year old wannabe-car salesman bidding on just about everything. After about an hour of searching and seeing cars going for ridiculous amounts, we headed to the in-building cafe. I went up to the counter with my brother and ordered some chips. When we returned to the table, mum told us dad had gone to the toilet. So we sat and ate. However, about 5 minutes later, we saw him coming back and through the window, we saw some paper in his hand. He rounded the corner and revealed that hehad just put in a bid for the peugeot worth about £5,000 and won with his first bid. I was stunned, and ever since i've been on a sort of fast track learning program as he tries to instill in me how a car works and how to drive them. The car is out on the drive and it is a beauty. Nearly no work needs being done to it, the fuel economy is fantastic, it did 5,000 miles in the last year...it's perfect.
Now the 2 1/2 month slog to my birthday...with the car sat there tantalizingly on the drive; mocking me.
So what else am I doing on my holiday I hear you type. The answer - tidying. Yesterday began Operation:Getthehousetidyoriwillbefuckingpissed. Mum and dad's new plan to get the house spick and span. We are re-moving dads office from the garage back into the dining room turned office turned games room. We've already cleared out the spare room/little office upstairs before refilling it with ebay'd stuff from in the games room, which til now has been used as a storage room for dad's...crap.
Hopefully that should be over soon and I'll be able to enjoy the holidays properly - the krewe meeting tomorrow and football on thursday with JH and HS should be fun and get things back to normal.
So other than this, not much is going on. School is ok, decided i have to pick up my act for next term having looked at entrance requirements for University, which i am absolutely crapping myself about. I've started listening to this band recently called Sabaton. They're a Swedish heavy metal band and while i don't usually listen to that sort of music, they sing about wars and stuff. I am REALLY interested in war, probably stemming from my grandad being in the RAF Police and my uncle being in the Royal Marines, and i find all their songs really interesting to listen to. They have songs about the 'Polish Thermopylae', the battle in world war two where 700 polish soldiers withstood an assault by 50,000 german troops for days, a song about the Panzer division - germany's tank division, and another about the falklands war.
So that's my recent history. I've decided im going to take the example of one of my friends and do a 'My day' blog every couple of days instead of these long ones every month or so, seems like a lot more fun to be honest.
Incidentally, i'm also going to start tagging posts, so enjoy that too ^_^
