Life is never boring if you make every moment count




Well what to put...

Well sort of tall 5'11", usually dark and some would say handsome too. I like to think I'm quite an individual rather than a follower and have only one motto and that is to enjoy what life brings, keep it in balance and have fun. I'm quite new to mods scene - sort of a late starter but hey your never to old to explore new stuff and further your outlook to life. Planning on meeting some new friends and hopefully catching up with some I already know too. Watch out you lot coz you know who you are LOL

My Head Hurts
2008/08/10 03:22 PHEW!!! what a week I have had. Started my new job on Monday and it has been quite exciting but also a big adjustment too. Firstly getting up a bit earlier as I have a bit further to travel but it is not very much more. Second, all the new people to get to know, the new ways of working and learning about the software I'm working on. Monday was the break you in gently day and I began to get a feel for things and was made very welcome; I even got treated to lunch at the pub. The rest of the week involved working on the software by completing some more basic tasks and a couple of site visits to see what the software controlled in real life. It wasn't quite as I imagined but useful nonetheless. I am really going to like it there, great bunch of people and the work is interesting and challenging too.

On the personal front, well I put the silly mistake mentioned in the last entry down to experience now. I get the impression that the other person involved feels the same too as I haven't really heard from her apart from a text to wish me luck in the new job. Mind you since then I have taken another lass out but was more realistic about it all. Don't think it will be anything other than friends with her though but that's probably a good thing for now. I'm not quite sure what has happened to me but I quite like it. I seem to be attracting new friends from all angles now - it's like I'm a people magnet or something and I quite like it. I can only put it down to the fact I feel so great and happy about myself and that because of that I give off good positive vibes that other people like and therefore want to get to know me. Sounds a bit daft and weird but it's my take on it and I'm sticking to it

I'm looking forward to getting some more of the back done next weekend - I decided that I would be a little more ambitious and go for a 4 hour session this time. Everyone thinks I'm mad but I know I will be able to stand it and I'm kind of eager to get the other tree done in one go if it is possible. Otherwise I guess it will be the outline and the sky and moon that I have discussed with my tattooist. We'll have to see what he decides on the day. It's gonna be an interesting session in that he is now training one of my friends and I guess he will be there watching me get inked this time.

Well I'm struggling with keeping the eyes open now - I have not long got in from the DJ'ing and the rum & coke is beginning to take effect so I'll leave it there for now folks - take care and will be back again soon

Think First Before You Act
2008/07/27 17:27 Wow what great weather we are having at the moment. I have been taking full advantage and getting all over the place on the motorbike. In fact I even got to have a ride out around Derbyshire with some of my motorbike club members and some friends from another club who invited us. It was a fantastic evening but I also realized how much I still have to learn even though I have now held my full license for over a year now .

I never thought I would be writing an entry like this one but I am. Things have been going good recently and I seem to be a human magnet and attracting new friends from all areas of my interests. First there has been Alex and as I have said previously, I had a wonderful time when we met up but I think we both realise that nothing more than friendship will develop from it and I’m fine with that as I had the feeling that this would only be the case anyway and to a certain extent I’m not looking to get into anything to serious right now.

Saying that leads me on to my most recent dilemma. I seem to have got myself into a situation that I am not quite sure what to do about. I have recently got talking to another girl called Andrea from a dating site. All happened purely out of the blue and we have hit things off very well. In fact so much so we found ourselves agreeing to her coming over to see me on Friday evening after I had done my DJ’ing and staying the night. No expectations on either side, the spare room was made available but the inevitable happened and with both sides in agreement about it. It was a pleasant experience for both of us and the next day I took her to Matlock Bath on the bike and we chatted smiled a lot etc. all is great.

Now though I have this feeling that I have not done the right thing. I don’t know why but my gut feeling is that there would not be anything there but friendship from my side and I feel rather guilty for allowing what happened to have happened. It felt right at the time but now something feels wrong. I can’t work out why and I’m doing my head in over it a bit. I will do the decent thing and tell her about my feelings as I don’t like leading people on or want to be deceitful but I think she is hoping for more and I think it will upset her a lot, particularly after what has happened. I kind of hate myself at the minute for allowing this to happen but what is done is done and if there is any fallout then I have to take it on the chin and move on.

I guess I’ll have to think carefully about what I say before I meet up with her again and I’ll let you know how things go the next time.

2008/07/22 18:11 Has it been that long since my last entry? I better give you an update then .Well what can I say - life is not too bad at the moment. Since my last update I have met up with Alex and we had a great day out around Oldham, Rochdale and Halifax. We ended up going to a bikers cafe known as "Big D's" in a village called Todmorton which is on the border of Halifax in West Yorkshire and had a wonderful day out together. It was good to finally meet in person as we had been getting on great via our online chats and although it is good it is even better when you are able to do it face to face. It's early days and I'm keeping my expectations well in check as there is a bit of distance between us but I'm not gonna make that an issue as she is definately someone I would like to see again and again . We are hopefully gonna get out to a local biker place on my doorstep - Matlock Bath in August.

I have also managed to get out to Rock City in Nottingham with my sister - we kind of both needed a bit of a "let your hair down" session for different reasons. Things are settling down for her at the moment but I feel that there are gonna be a few tough times and decisions for her in the not so distant future. One thing she is assured of is lots of support and love from her big bro and the family and friends too. On my side it's the long drawn out saga of the old job and the continual reluctance of my team leader to allow the project that I have worked on to be put to bed. Why he persists in keep trying to get it used when nobody wants it and it has clearly been shelved by upper level management is beyond me and it's doing my head in . Oops - rant over.

Sadly I never made it to the tattoo convention in the end - pity but I think after getting a bit merry the night before it was the right choice and finances were dictating that I should leave it this time too. Hopefully I'll get along to it next time as I would like to go and see what it is all about just out of interest.

Finally had some more of the back done - had to wait a while on this occasion as bills and the like needed paying so it has been well over a month but well worth the wait as the tree looks fantastic. I'm thinking that I might go for a big 4 hour session next time as I'm just finding it so easy to sit each time and by my reckoning I would be able to get the other tree done in one go. I seem to be getting well into it all as I have begun to start drawing again and even though I'm a bit rough I seem to have not lost my artistic skills that much. I have now set myself a challenge - I have to draw up a piece for my sister who wants something for her lower back to mark the birth of her children and I intend to draw up my first sleeve - something more traditional based on a pin-up girl and snakes is in the mind at the moment as the snakes could merge into the branches of the tree on the back. Never let it be said I never set myself demanding targets .

I have to get on with sorting out getting these other piercings I want done - nothing to elaborate or extreme as I have to be a bit careful due to the job I do sadly . I guess it is something we all have to wrestle with at times and with me changing jobs I'm a bit wary of doing anything that could affect the trial period I'll be on initially.Well better get on with the day - I have some thumb twiddling to do here at work .


Mmmmm
2008/07/05 13:27 I know the title is unimaginative but hey no one is perfect. Well I've fully recovered from my antics at the rally now and things have been ticking along.

Did a really silly thing last Friday and managed to fall asleep before I was due to go out and DJ. When I woke up it was midnight and I then frantically was ringing up to say sorry. Fortunately I managed to make amends but was very embarrassed. I did need the sleep though as I had been burning the candle both ends.

I finally have my leaving date for my current job and I have had confirmation of the payoff I'm getting too. I really have come out of this on the lucky side so I'm gonna use it sensibly. I kind of can't wait to leave now as I have had enough and want to get my teeth into the new job. I will just have to be patient though and wait till the end of the month - not too long though .

Something else that has happened completely out of the blue - seems I have a new girlfriend in tow. Alex is quite a chick for want of a better description. We have been chatting a lot online and hitting it off with incredible ease. We haven't met in person just yet due to circumstances on both sides but we have a date planned for next Sunday so I'm keeping everything crossed that nothing gets in the way to ruin my plans.

Hopefully I will manage to get to the tattoo convention that's happening in Derby near where I live this month. I am interested in what will be there and maybe get some more ideas for myself. Hopefully I won't be going on my own as I was invited but obviously depends on what is happening on their side of things.

That's all for now - shopping to do so time to get the leathers on and get on with the day. Till the next time...
