A week gone since my last update, what the hell's going on here???

Spencer's is on its way out, as I told on my last update. Some cheap shit going in the sale too! Everything's either 50 or 30% off, so if you've ever seen anything in our beautiful shop, you should get ya arse down there now to get it on the cheap, because everything's selling like hotcakes. What is a hotcake?

In the meantime, i've got next to no money and no job in just over a month's time. I've applied to HMV, the two GAME's, Virgin, and Gamestation in St John's precinct, but i'm not expecting anything. I don't want to be unemployed. I hate it. reminds me of a shit I once had. If anyone out there has a good and interesting job available, i'd like to hear from you! And yes, I CAN be that picky. It's just my style. ;)

Finally, went to the art college on Myrtle Street and got to see everyone's work! Looked great, and got to meet Jenny Anne in the process. If ya read this dear, ya work DID look great. very creative and by jove did it kinda creep me out with it's dark and eerie look! :) Congrats on the exhibit ma girl! Saw Andy's and Ian Flynn's work too, but alas, they themselves were not to be seen.

Spencer Gifts is closing down. Every single store in England (All 14 of them!!! :P ) is going. Goodbye. Gone. Forever. So i'm off a-job-hunting. Gamestation across the aisle from Spencers seems the best bet tho, and i'd like to stay in the precinct so i'm going for there. But i'm pretty down at the mo so if you fancy cheering me up, please do so.

Ya ever get that feeling when no matter how successful in general you are, there's always something there to niggle back at you? it's a tricky one. it might not be what you're thinking tho so just forget it if i'm talking bollox. What am I listening to at this very second? Metallica's 'One'. Shit band, but what a song! :)

Had a scare today in regard to the baby. He started crying at about 2:30pm, and carried on for 45 minutes. EXTREMELY violent. I was extremely worried, especially when my mum had to take him to Alder Hey Hospital. He'd had an immunisation needle earlier on in the day, and so we were worried it was having some adverse effect on him. It wasn't. But it WAS a side effect of the needle hitting back at him. It's now 23:42, and he's sitting with me in my room, all tucked up in his little chair and fast asleep. He looks beautiful. It's the little times like this when I look to my left to see that 2 and a half month old baby asleep to realise that yeah, that IS my baby brother. It still hasn't sunk in I guess. I usually take ages with things like this, and it's happening again. I love the little fucker, no matter how much crying he does, no matter how much shitting he does, and ESPECIALLY when he pulls off one of those cute little smiles, regardless of the fact he has no idea what it is he's smiling at. He's great.

Enough blabbering. I thought i'd post my year's concert/show dates. Just in case anyone who reads this happens to be going to one of the following same gigs:

Early July - Yes LIVE at the Summer Pops

Yes are an amazing group. Been going since the 60's and are STILL going strong. I once even shook the lead singer's hand. Oh... my... god. Jon Anderson shook my hand. If only he knew what I did with that right hand... nevertheless! I'm going to see them and they'll also have the world's greatest keyboard player with them, I give you, Mr. rick Wakeman. Please, download some of his stuff off... forget it. No-one ever download's anything when they're asked to do they? So i'll forget that one. It's a concert i'm REALLY looking forward to.

November 26th - Bottom 5 LIVE

Yes! I'm going to see Bottom live AGAIN!!! :D I REALLY can't wait for this one. Rik Mayall and Ade edmondson are two of my idols, and so to see them for a second time is going to be a hell of an experience, made better by the fact i'll have my beautiful lady by my side (Readers stick fingers down throat). it means a lot to me that she'll be there with me, because it's an event that means a hell of a lot to me, and I think she knows that. Whether she's doing it for my sake, or whether she is actually looking forward to seeing those two perverse masters of the double entendre, she's still there as my rock.

December 11th - Justin Timberlake LIVE

Yeah I know, "Auto, going to see a pop performer... LIVE???" But it's my girlfriend's guy, and i also thought it'd be interesting to go to a concert like this. I mean, i've never been to a concert where all the females (And a few homosexual attendees) scream as often and as loud as they can because this attractive looking guy who dances and beatboxes ::Sighs:: is right there in front of them, so it should be an interesting and even possibly fun night! I can't wait to see Sarah all gooey cos she sees her fella on stage. It's one of those times were I actually don't mind being her no.1 priority. :) We all have our idol's, and he's hers. And it's in Sheffield, a town i ain't been to so might be culturally stimulating. Ya never know!

And that's this update done. Pretty long un', but we all go a little crazy sometimes...

Why's it been so long since I updated? only feels liek 2 days ago.

I just worked 24 hours over the last two days. I'm exhausted. i'll have Monday to relax before I have to go to the dentist to have three teeth out. Oh, anguish. Still, it'll be worth it if it means me never having to experience the pains i have had over this past month. this year since february really has been one full of ills. I've had one month of constant happy health and that was when i was in uni for 3 weeks. The irony is baffling. But i'm still going strong, Sarah's keeping me going at times, and times are great, as well as looking up.

I'm going out this coming Saturday. Really! First time in 2 months, which i think is the longest i've not been out since I turned 17. That's a hell of a record by my standards. And i'm REALLY looking forward to it because our Lee's coming along too, cos he's 18 now! Fully fledged adult, and man. Let's see if he can get himself an underage wannabe skater girl.

Finally, a bit of slef promotion which will actually get me nowhere but never-the-less... if you're into videogames, this is my contribution page at www.gamefaqs.com, which is my fave games web-site on the internet. This page shows the reviews and tips i've contributed to the site. Dunno why you'd want to have a look but it's something i've never shown to anyone so here ya go: http://www.gamefaqs.com/features/recognition/5523.html

Just a quickie, but this site was good. I received 21.5 years and a fine of £2000. What will you get?
