Well movie is over now and i find myself drawn back to the computer.
us humans have an amazing capacity for wasting time.
We have invented a million and one ways to do nothing with our time.....maybe thats why all the world changing inventions have already been made.
Has anyone else noticed that?
As a species we have achived so much- just nothing in the last 100 years or so. All we have actually done is make things smaller, where is the meal in a pill?, flying cars?
nope, we are to busy wasting our time.
Maybe we should stop.
What do you think?

All Hallows Eve? nah not this year....
Well my bout of the plague seems to be running it's course, i feel almost human again.
However boredom is setting in and some cabin fever too.
No plans for this spooky night- even tho i have a fantastic costume. Just dont feel up to it
So tonight, I'm gonna try to find a decent horror film and curl up on the sofa with some popcorn.
All the lights are off, so i'm not gonna be bothered by those pesky little beggars- sorry trick or treaters.
Hope everyone has a good one

Yuk, thats how I feel
Being ill really does suck, I dont like it at all.
I also hate being lied too. Which seems to happen a lot. :(
Somebody I once cared about a great deal, seems to be trying to be something she isn't. She also seems to be trying to lie about a few things....the problem with that is, she is pathetic at fibbing.
So, the moral of this story is, dont try to lie to somebody smarter than you.
It just makes you look like a really big fool.

Work? Awww do i have to?
At the moment work is not the most fun I could be having.
At the moment Work is probably the most horrible place I can imagine.
I work for an extremely large and well known ISP and due to a bad decision, we are getting hammered with calls on a Daily basis. I'm not assigning blame- but come on guys, think about the choices you make, not just about the money you'll save!!
My colleagues are getting stressed, I'm getting stressed.
Here's an example of the conversations I have at the moment
Customer-My Internets not working
Me- I am afraid that there is a problem at the moment, we are aware of it and are working to get it fixed asap.
Customer- Cant you fix it now?
Me- Wish I could, it is with the Engineers but we don't have a Fix time at the moment.
Customer- That's not good enough, I want it fixed now.
Me -As I said, we do have a problem but the engineers have not been able to give us a fix time yet,
Customer- THAT'S NOT GOOD ENOUGH........
Ok, I know its not good enough, I've had 12 people today say the same thing, at differing volumes. The Answer is the same however, NO MATTER HOW LOUD YOU SHOUT!!!!!
The population seem to consider the Internet to be the 4Th major utility along with water, gas and electricity. When it don't work people start getting all shitty, mostly because they cant browse for some weird little kink they have.
Its fine that they have a kink, we all have deep down.I Just wish you'd all stop, shouting at me and my friends coz you cant find videos about it. :P
15 years ago only Geeks used the Internet....now we have people running businesses from home, working from home, running their own porn site from home!!(which by the way, if your on a residential ISP is breaking terms and conditions and technically I could cancel your account for doing it)
So for the love of Microsoft, chill the Hell out. Read a book, or make your own porn. Be patient and your ability to browse will be restored. Just stop shouting at us............

New york, New york PT2
back again....
After the Encounter with irritating Day Manager Guy, I headed up to the room. 3rd floor room number 379.....ooo a view of seventh ave. Which to be honest is a really wide street, although a New York landmark-Carnigie Hall, was literally opposite the hotel.
However.....the Air Con in the room was non-functioning. Dead,Kaput!. And it was really Hot- but more about that later.
So guess what....yup, back down to talk to Day-Manager Guy!!! Woohoo a second chance to talk to Mr Happy-go-Lucky....This is rapidly turning into a really BAD start. :(
After another Joyful and enjoyable conversation taking around 10min, the room was changed.
7th floor- a $90 upgrade on the room for free..... :D
Found the room, 749- ooo marked in brail as well.- Opened the door dragged the case in and sat down. After 19hrs total travel time i was Finally able to stop..... AAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!
Yes, 19hrs in total. 4hrs for the coach to Gatwick, 3.5 hrs hanging round Departures, 7.5 hr flight(15hrs so far) 3hrs in total for passport control and baggage claim and 1hr ish :) for travel to hotel......sheesh, tired? Oh yeah!!!!
I realised by this point that I was very hungry, and i needed a cigarette. Badly!!!!
So grabbed $10 and wandered out onto the streets.............................
to be continued. :P

Nice Guys really arent Evil!
OK, time for a post the relates to the title of this Blog.
For a very,very long time I have noticed a disturbing trend within the Female population.
When actually confronted with a nice guy- they run screaming because they think they've found some form of mad Axe-murderer.
And yet, the same women when faced with a complete bastard goes weak at the knees and proceed to date said bastard.
But then, they whine to their friends that the boy friend is treating them like dirt.
If that girl has a male friend who is a nice guy( don't laugh, this does happen) that friend then has to listen to all crap that the moron Boyfriend is putting her through. Sometimes the girl will complain that all her boyfriends have treated her badly.
D'oh!!!! of course he's treating you badly!!!!!!! he's a BAD BOY!! Wake UP FFS!!!!!!!
So girls, try this just once. date a nice guy and maybe you wont have to put up with all the crap that you have in the past.
You might even get flowers for no reason other than he wanted to buy you some.

New York, New York (warning- long post!!)
Lets try again shall we....
It just occurred to me that nothing very interesting has been posted yet....
lets sort that out, shall we?
On Sept the 1st I got on a coach and headed down to Gatwick, got on a big metal birdy and ended up 7.5 hrs later in Newark Int. Airport. in new jersey- Imagine Swansea, just bigger-lots bigger.
The transfer to my hotel - In midtown Manhattan (OOOOOOOO!!!!!! fancy!!!!!) took about 50min. And no, it wasn't a yellow cab. It was some sort of people carrier thing with really weird seat belts. The Driver- Hector, was a taciturn and quiet sort, polite enough but only interested in getting these god damn tourists out of his vehicle.
Oh, If you have never flown further than Ibiza or Greece, the flight to new york is a killer. but anyway......
The Hotel looked great, Two sets of revolving doors, marble foyer, polished brass and dark wood. Several Uniformed staff scurrying about on various hotel related missions.
And then, my first experience of American arrogance.
The Desk clerk guy- probably a day manager- what a total, snooty, up his own arse, Jerk.!!!!!!!!
He made the process of checking in, a truly unforgettable experience. He huffed, he puffed. His answers to questions clipped and disinterested. GRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I wanted to grab him by his silk tie and jerk his attitude filled face, downward into the reception desk. I was tired and a little irritable and the jumped up little sod just rubbed me the wrong way.
will continue this later......time to go to pay the bills. :(

Who the Hell are "They"??
They say Death, like Taxes, is inevitable.
What's wrong with this statement?
Well First, who are this group that seem to know all of life's little secrets, "They" seem to have a great deal of information and possibly more wisdom, than the entire population put together. But no-one has ever asked why we should care about the opinions "They" hold.
"They" Suck at picking names.
The Second thing, is who checks their information- must be difficult for a secret organisation to have the output of all those productive and wise brains checked for validity. Of course the Internet would help "They" no doubt have their own T1 line , but the Internet has been known to be wrong.
The problem is, that "They" do seem to be right about most things.
Nice guys Finish last - Nailed this one guys.
Milk is good for you- yup got it again.
Confidence is key- three in a row!!!!
Wish "They" would tell me the lottery numbers.................................

Embracing the "BLOG"
Well this is all rather interesting, isn't it?
I have finally decided to open up my head and let all those pesky thoughts out, to be honest my brain is running out of room. :P
I will warn you reader, this could really be an odd 5-min read.
Oh, and here's a tip, if you haven't worked-out for a while, an hour of swimming followed by a 3.5 mile walk is not recommended.
Any way, my day has been slightly surreal, started off at about 11am when i dragged myself out of bed and stumbled downstairs- no don't worry, i was in a dressing gown.
I was confronted in my kitchen by 2 cats.......since I only have one, this was a bit of a shock. (I don't actually own the cat, my housemate and best friend in this weird old world, actually owns said puddy)
Then I actually woke up. ?????
So after staring at the ceiling for a little while, i got up and dressed then went downstairs to see if the house had acquired an extra kitty!
Nope. :)
