catch up time
It's been a while and there are several good reasons for that, I have had nothing to write that anyone would want to hear (like that ahs ever stopped me before), I have had no things I ned to think out in words, since I understand and accept most of what has happened of late and I have been very busy traveling and being places, so I have decided that in this moment of free time, I will put something here.
Went to Download (formerly Donnington) Rock fest back at the beginning of July, Breed77, Damage Planet, Slayer, Slipknot, Korn, and of course, METALLICA!!!!!!!! What a fucking party that was. Gorgeous weather too, got burnt (think that is the second time in my life that has happened and I go to the Middle East quite often) but as usual it faded to a tan within two days. Just as Metallica started Four Horsemen though, the heavens opened, wass bloody brilliant.
After that, went out to Abu Dhabi (the Middle East for those uneducated amongst you, hehe) had a great chill out there, if 45-55 degrees C can ever be called a chill out. Sadly, didn't get the job I was after, bastards could ahve at least told me I wasn't going to get it, since I did turn down a couuple of reasonable offers while I was waiting for this kick ass ultimate job. Nevermind huh, oh yeah, got my resutls while i was out there too, I rocked, missed too pieces of coursework and was my usual last minute self with revision, still got a low 2.2, except with Maths, which I am going to have to resit, missed the grade by 2 bloody percent (admitedly, it is my weak point, and I only learnt it 2 days before the exam, so not too bad).
Came back here to Wales, found out that my grandad is actually getting worse, poor bugger, he's not going to last wrong I reckon, he is fading really fast, cancer sucks. I guess all we can do is our best to make things alright for now and such. Strange really, I am not all that upset, I know you lot are going to tell me that is just me in shock or something, I don't know, I guess we'll see soon enough, jsut feel like a callous bastard, I mean, shouldn't I be really down about this?
My dad has a tumour on his perotid gland, but its not malignent yet (though in 100% of cases, it turns) and we got him booked in to see the specialist, should be able to get it off within a few weeks. Its a nasty one apparently, because it wraps around the main facial nerve as it grows, but the specialists apaprently can get it off nor worries and without damaging the nerve, so fingers crossed kids, that worries more than my grandfather, guess it hits closer to home, not to mention it effects life, rather than ends it (I know that sounds wierd, but if you get inside my head, you would understand).
Other han that, I guess life jsut progresses as it always does down here in Wales, in other words, very, very slowly, oh look, we've just been overtaken by a tortoise dragging Nigeria, hehe.
Can't wait to get back to Newcastle, I need that life, I need something to distract my mind, I need action, damn that's wierd, me Mr. lazy asking for action, but I guess my head is jsut getting done in by this inactivity, not to mention the growth around my waist, I am damn near a 36 again, that's two inches growth, ergh.
Anyway, signing off, come in number 53, your time is up.
take care kids
