Cypher

Cypher: I had never heard of this before seeing it on Tesco DVD Rental. Decided to rent it as it had a good rating on IMDB. It was very good, a techno spy thriller. My sort of film, it was good although as times you can see they didn't have a massive budget. Well worth a watch if you like Thrillers. 7 out of 10.

West Roddymoor Walk

Distance: 4.58 Miles
Time: 80 minutes

I went for a walk tonight, decided I needed some fresh air. The picture above shows the route in pink. It was 4.58 miles according to my GPS. It took about 80 minutes but wan't exactly rushing. I would of taken some pictures but it was raining and very dull. I have walked and cycled around here 100s of times. I used to do this route just about every day on my bike before going to work.

More songs

Listening to more music in bed and the last 2 songs are perfect for how i feel, relationships why do i bother!

Dido - white flag
Suggababes - Too lost in you

i was saying i was gonna forget about women for a while. i should listen to myself but just dont want to give up on someone!

Think i need to get up in the morning and go for a run to work stuff off. usually push myself harder so could be a good run if i can get out of bed.

Perfect song

Just laid in bed and put my mp3 player on random and sheryl crow - if it makes you happy started playing. the perfect song for how i was feeling.

The perfect line for the moment is "if it makes you happy, then why the hell are you sad".

i will answer that: sometimes things are so close, yet so far!

Tough

It was my first day at work after my holiday today. Jesus it was boring, didn't get any work done as I was answering the phone all day. Its good speaking to people I am friends with but get sick of speaking to some of the other miserable bastards.

I thought I might of been invigorated and more positive after a break but think I am even more sick of it than before. Maybe it is time for a complete career change. Sick of sitting at a desk all day bored out of my skull.

Ignoring work I did start speaking more to someone who means so much to me (will remain anonymous). I went over to her house tonight as I said I would sort her laptop out, it was good that we are talking again and finally got to talk a bit. She is in the process of splitting up with her fiance, altohugh he doesnt want to accept it.

It was good in some ways but very hard in others. I love her to bits and have told her before but she obviously doesn't feel the same. To be fair she has got enough stuff to be dealing with at the minute. Although when she mentioned that she had met someone a couple of weeks ago, it felt like I had been stabbed in the heart. When she explained, it ended up being nothing, she had spoke to some guy a few times and he had come over to see her then he never contacted her. There is nothing there, although from the sound of it she is scared of being alone.

I wrote something similar a couple of months ago saying that she seamed to fear being alone, which is why I thought she was still with her fiance. She read it and then went very quiet. I dont think I am much different, suppose I cant fear being alone as I am permanently alone.

The strangest thing about all this is I dreamt about her years before I ever actually met her. I did tell her some of this a year ago. Maybe that was one of many things that scared her off. (Note to self, sometimes I can now be too honest)

I think I need to make some more big changes in my life, the 1st step was going away last week on my own for a few days.

When I drove home tonight I think I was a bit confused and upset. The fact that the speed rose to nearly 3 figures showed that. Normally when I do that on dark country lanes its coz I just dont care anymore. This time it was because I needed to release some emotion before I exploded (Hard to bite my tongue sometimes). I promised myself I would just come out and be 100% honest but dont wanna fuck anything up again. Dont wanna go through everything again!

The more I think about it the more I am very similar to her emotionally, oh well think I've done enough rambling. Not getting me anywhere.

Just hope she doesnt read this, guess she cant I have her computer :-)

Hotel & House

This should be my last post on my holiday in Scotland other than maybe posting a link to my flickr gallery tomorrow (hopefully).

Above is the Amulree Hotel where I stayed in Scotland when I was on Holiday, it was very quiet with it being mid week and not being a main holiday. Which was exactly what I wanted.


This is the house where I stayed probably over 6 times about 12 years or so ago. I was lucky enough to be allowed to have a look around it again. It had just gone up for sale that week for only £170,000. It is 5 bedroomed and has unbelievable views. If I had the money I would hand it over tomorrow (very cheap). It needs some work doing but it is structually sound.

It certainly brought back a lot of good memories going around the house again. My only regret is I forgot to take my camera with me when I looked around.

Photos from Scotland

Below are a series of pictures taken when I was on holiday in Scotland. I have loads more but dont want take up my entire bog with them all. I think I will setup a flickr account tomorrow night and post all my pictures there. Then link to it!

Ribblehead Viaduct & Whernside

This is the walk I did on Friday it starts and finishes by the Ribblehead Viaduct, which is often shown on TV. It included the highest point in North Yorkshire (Whernside) which is 736m. The route is marked on the above map in pink and according to my GPS it was 7.84 miles.

It was a lot easier than I thought it would be, the worst thing about the walk was when we were at the top (we meaning me & my dad) we couldn't see anything for fog. It was a shame as we would of had a good view. Once we got back down the fog had cleared from the top. (Click the images for larger versions)

Oldboy

Oldboy: I was impressed by this movie, it was subtitled but again it doesn't matter as it had a really good story with a big twist and an excellent fight scene with a claw hammer. The fight scene wasn't over the top like most films these days it was almost believable (I said almost). There were some parts that were slow and a little boring but overall it was excellent. 9 out of 10! (would of been 8.5 but can't do that on IMDB).

Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith

Star Wars Episode III: Revenge Of The Sith - I' have just been to the pictures at the Metro Centre to finally watch Episode III. It is certainly better than the other 2 prequels and does a very good job of bridging the gap from Attack of the Clones to A New Hope.

It was worth going to see, its the 1st time I have watched any of the Star Wars films at the cinema. Anyone with the slightest interest in Star Wars get yourself there to watch it, you wont be dissapointed. I gave it 8 out of 10 on IMDB.

Casshern

Casshern: Just finished watching this movie. It's classed as a live-action anime, a sort of cross between a regular movie and a japanese style anime (Manga). The film was very hard to understand at times almost incomprehensible in places.

The film looked stunning but I think most people may find this just too hard to follow and not because of it being subtitled but just parts dont make total sense but I think you need to look at the movie as a whole to understand it. You could go nuts trying to explain some of it. I still gave it 7 out of 10 because it made me think and question stuff.

Baraka

Baraka: Last night I watched this film, which I think was amazing. It isn't a normal film, it is a sort of documentary with no speech. It a series of images (videos) of stunning scenery among other things. The imagery is accompanied by a soundtrack which helps add to the impact of the whole thing.

I was very impressed but it is hard to explain and imagine anyone who likes to just watch an action movie will find this boring. I ended up giving it 9 out of 10 on IMDB.

A Picture from my Holiday

Above is a picture of Loch Freuchie. I took this the night I got there (Amulree), the following day I walked up to the loch and around it. I will post some more pictures over the next day.

I fancy watching a film 1st ;-)

Stand up Comedy DVDs

I watched a couple of DVDs last weekend before I went on Holiday but I forget to blog them. They were both stand up comedians:


David Spikey - Live: I had never really heard of David Spikey before but was browsing comedians and thought I would rent it. It was funny, there were some parts where it dragged but generally he was funny. He was also in Pheonix Nights playing Jerry.

Ricky Gervais - Politics: This was the other DVD I watched. I dont think it was as good as his previous DVD Animals or as good as David Spikey that I watched straigt before this. It was still worth a watch but would pick on of the others I mentioned before this.

Walk up to loch Freuchie

I went for my walk up to loch freuchie and back down to the hotel. It was just under 8 miles, i thought it would of been further than that.

I was going to walk to the top of the mountain next to us. But i only had 1 can of iron brew as they had no bottles of orange or anything like that in the hotel.

By the time i got to the point where i would have to start going up the mountain i was beginning to feel a bit dehydrated having already drank my pop there was no way i was going up there without a drink.

When i got back i was dying for a drink but the hotel door was locked. She did say she was going out but i didnt realise she was locking up. Luckily i had taken my car keys with me, wasnt going to and had some trainers and money in the car.

I drove the 13 miles to crief just to get something to drink.

i then drove back to Amulree and decided to drive over the narrow road over the fell. I could remember it was narrow but had forgot just how narrow.

There was a sign just before warning that the road wasnt cleared of snow or gritted in winter and all sorts of other stuff. I would of been there 5 minutes reading it all. Basically it was saying you are nuts to drive over here. Sums me up, so off i set!

I wanted to stop and take some pictures but i couldnt as it was so narrow and no where to stop. The road was literally the width of my car.

I came to a very steep bank and it had 2 very tight hair pin bends on it. They would have to be seen to believed!

I didnt go the whole length of the road i found somewhere to turn around and went back. I wanted to stop at a little tarn but couldnt as the only place was a passing point and someone was already parked in it :-(

i got back to the hotel and it was still closed, so sat in the car and after a few minutes the lady turned back up.

I have been laid on the bed watching the tennis for the last 2 hours. I will go and have some food in about 20 minutes then have a couple of pints and have an early night.

I am going to go home tomorrow. i have had a good time even though i have only been on one walk. It was worth coming here just to see around the house i used to stay in, brought back a lot of good memories.

I will go for another walk on friday possibly the lakes, will decide when i get home.

Same old same old

I am laid in bed thinking as always.

I am thinking though that i wish a certain person was here with me. I nearly wrote her name then, oops. even the predictive text tried to type her name. Now there is an omen.

The strange thing is and what helps to complicate things is she text me yesterday and said she wished she was going with me.

She probably didnt mean really with me but just away but when you love someone to bits and want to be with them, that is hard.

Sometimes i just wish i could to could give her a hug and tell her how i feel without totally frightening her off. She is the only the person i would give up absolutely everything for. Except for best friends as they will always be there :-)

life eh?

Memory lane

I have had an excellent day. Took me nearly 4 hours to get here, bloody speed cameras or could of shaved nearly an hour off that. Suppose people would say they worked then. except they were always in a location that would only generate money not save lives. DONT GET WORKED UP STEVEN, YOU ARE ON HOLIDAY!

Think i wrote an entry when i got here but not sure if it worked.

As i hopefully said i went for a ride up to the top of the loch which i hope to walk tomorrow.

When i got there, there was 2 tents expensive ones. Wondered what they were doing there as they were about 25 yards from the sign that said no camping but what was even more strange was that there was a satellite dish between the 2 tents. There was no sign of anyone i guess it wasnt to watch tv but who knows.

The best thing that happened was i went for a pint and i got talking and i mentioned that i had stayed in the house over the bridge over 10 years ago. I was talking to the lady who lives in the farm next to the house, she used to look after the house when i stayed there.

She told me the house was up for sale and asked if i would like to look around it as she had the key. I jumped at the chance.

It was unbelievable to be back there again after so may years. Yet to be honest it was much as i remember except empty of furniture and a bit more damp.

The strange thing is i have dreamt over the last few years that i came into some money and ended up buying it as a sort of holiday home. I couldnt believe it when she told me it was on the market for only £170,000. Yeah it needs work but not that much. It is 5 bedroomed with a large living room and dining room. kitchen and utility soon and even stables out back. maybe no field for horses though.

It was amazing to see around the house i had stayed in so many times before over ten years ago :-)

the hotel was very quiet hardly anyone staying, talked to one women who was walking and some bloke asked me about the grouse. He thought i was a local. Was tempted to put on an accent and tell him it was shite but i didnt.

I had a really nice neck. Burger and chips, maybe it was the fact i hungry that it tasted so nice but ended up giving the chef a £5 tip. The meal was only that much!

there was a young lass working behind the bar in the hotel so got talking. She lived a couple me minds up towards the loch and went to uni in edinburgh studying biological science. Naturally bony but didnt show it off, very casual.

I got talking to her, she was called fiona. I always seam good at finding stuff out about people. She likes sailing and said she was going on the loch tomorrow, so said i would probably see her boat.

found out loads more but cant be bothered to write it. She never asked my name but she could of found out from the bookings book. oh think i forgot to say she told me within 2 sentences of talking to her that she had a boyfriend.

Guess that made it sound like i was trying to get off with her. I wasnt, decided i was here on holiday so that was a big no no!

Saying that i did think about asking her if she fancied walking around the loch as she had never done it (walk around the loch i mean, you dirty buggers). Didnt ask though as she said she was going sailing. It is supposed to rain, so it said on the tv :-(

i normally hate being in a bar on my own but must of spent nearly 5 years in it today. I must be getting more confident in my old age.

I suppose i better go to sleep or i wont be up for breakfast!

Jedburgh

I have just arrived at Jedburgh stopped to go to the toilet and would of walked in the womens if the attendant hadnt told me.

I am sure they have swapped them around from the last time i was here 2 years ago.

I was going to stop and have a meal or something here but i bought 2 sausage rolls from the shop at home. I will eat one of them then carry on.

Fishing

I am down in brompton on swale fishing in a lake with my dad and uncle.

we are going home in 30 minutes but so far i have caught 9 fish. 7 perch and 2 roach. I had another 2 but they got off near the bank.

Its been a good day. Not a bad birthday at all. I have been singing away to music while fishing. Anyone who has heard me ring will think the fish have been throwing themselves onto the hook to get away from my singing :-)

Willington to Bishop Auckland Walk

© Crown Copyright

I went for a walk today from Willington to Bishop Auckland and back to Willington. The route was fairly easy as the 1st half was along an old railway line so it was flat. Then followed the river back to Willington so again it was fairly flat. The route is marked on the map above in pink (click images for a larger versions). It was 8.3 miles.


Newton Cap Viaduct

The above picture shows Newton Cap Viaduct in Bishop Auckland, it used to be the railway bridge but was converted for cars about 15 years ago.

Old Railway route from Willington

The picture above is about a mile along the old Railway line from Willington to Bishop Auckland, it an excellent route to go for a run or cycle. In the opposite direction the route goes all the way to Durham.

River near Willington

All the above pictures were taken today while walking around the route shown on the map. It doesn't look very sunny on the pictures but it was pushing 30c, just it was hazy so doesn't look very sunny.

Friday Night

I went out on Friday night, my best mate (Jay) asked if I fancied a look out for my Birthday. I didn't take much convincing.

I thought there might just be me and Jay out which would of been fine but Robert, Wayne and Nigel all came out as well. Then Kelly even came out to see me for a couple of hours. I had a really good night.

I walked home at about 12:30 with Wayne, we left Jay chatting up some woman in the pub. She looked very drunk.

Holiday

I am writing this while deciding what i am going to do when i am off.

Either saturday or sunday i am going for a walk which i planned out on the computer the other night. Hoping to go and see someone i care a lot about on the other day, will see what they say.

Monday i am going fishing with my dad and uncle in north Yorkshire.

Tuesday i am travelling up to Amulree in scotland where i am staying for 2 nights, depending on the time i get there i will go up to Pitlochery for 2 walk and something to eat. Then come back to the hotel and go for a short walk, will then have a few drinks and have an early night.

Wednesday i am going to walk from the hotel up to loch freuchie and back down again. I dont know how long this will take so hard to plan much else will figure it out and plan some more stuff.

Thursday i will check out of the hotel then want to travel along a narrow road that goes towards loch tay, then carry on North to loch Ness. People say it is crap but i have always wanted to go and see the castle on the shore and see the biggest body of water in the uk. I sound very sad now. Then gonna drive home. I was thinking about going up to the north west but decided not to this time.

Friday i intend to walk up one of the peaks in the lakes but not decided which yet.

Thats all i have planned so far but more to plan yet. I know it probably sounds very boring but the whole point is i dont want to do to much. I want time to thing and work some stuff out. Just hope i manage to.

One day

There is only one day left to go at work before I am off for the week, thank god!

Looking forward to the week off more than any other time I can remember taking.

When I worked at electrolux a couple of years ago for a few weeks on a production line, I hated it. That was because of the monotony of doing the same tasks over and over. I always knew I could never do factory work. The problem is what I am doing now is like that often worse.

on a production line you can sort of shut off and let your mind wander but you cant do that doing what I am now as you need to talk to people and carry various tasks that don't allow you to think of other stuff.

I have found myself talking a lot more recently, just as a distraction from what I am doing. Think it has become noticeable.

3D view of Scafell Pike

I sort of mentioned in a previous post that I had been messing about with maps and making them 3D. The above picture shows part of the a walk I did up Scafell Pike in the Lake District. In the Software (memory-map) it does a fly through of the route I took. The Red lines show where I walked but as you can see I didn't draw them on very accurately as they should be over the paths you can see. Click the pictures for larger versions.

The above is the map of the route I took, it was 9.6 miles. I did this walk last year with my dad. Mapped it as I wanted to see how far it was and test the software.

Albums I've been listening to...

I have listened to a quite a lot of music in the last couple of weeks, below are some of the album I can remember listening to.


Beatles - Rubber Soul: Another excellent Beatles Album. I hadn't really listened to this album much until recently. I only recongnised a couple of songs off the album but once I listened to it more some of the others have really stuck. Especially "In My Life", "If I Needed Someone" & "Drive My Car".


Frankie Goes To Hollywood - Welcome To Pleasuredome: Another good album with 2 or 3 big tracks that are really well known. "Relax", "Power of Love" & "Two Tribes". My sister about played this album to extinction when I was about 9 or 10. There is a remixed album that has some excellent versions of these songs on. The remixes are probably even better.


Royksopp - The Understanding: This album sounds quite a bit different to Royksopps last album but still sounds good. I think I need to listen some more to find see if any of the songs grow on me like the songs from Melody A.M. did. I read a customer comment on Amazon where they said they skipped about 9 of the 11 songs on teh 1st listen but after repeated listening now loves 10 of the tracks.


Van Halen - Van Halen: This is an excellent album if you like guitar rock. It has some of the best guitar playing you're ever likely to here. You will probably be suprised that you know some of these songs. A couple of them have been sampled in recent years like "Ain't Talkin' 'Bout Love" which was used by Apollo 440. Van Halen also cover "The Kinks - You Really Got Me" and do a good job.


Zero 7 - Simple Things: The version of this album I have is a double CD but to be honest I only ever listen to the 1st disc. Zero 7 are similar to Air, they are always compared to them but that is no bad thing. Its a good album to put on in the background and chill out to. The BBC have used "Destiny" on loads of their TV shows so you will probably of heard the song. Put this album on, lay back and enjoy.


Creedence Clearwater Revival - Bad Mood Rising The Best Of: This is one of the biggest suprise albums to me. I knew "Bad Moon Rising" but just had no idea how many of these songs I knew and had been redone by someone else. Such as "I Put a Spell On You" which was covered by Sonique. A very big suprise but definitly worth a listen, it will grow on you if you keep listening.

Maps

I was intending on going to bed early tonight, by 10:30 but i got interested in mapping walks i have done and creating 3d maps of them.

Sounds boring but they look excellent, everyone who has seen them likes them.

just read that back and realised just how sad i have truelly become. Oh well getting too old to be out on the piss every night. I was getting bored of it.

Tomorrow night i will sort my money out and plan what i am doing next week, exactly where i am going!

I have had a fairly good day today probably because i spent most of the afternoon talking on the phone to someone i really like talking to and being around, it was actually work. Hopefully we are friends again. Wont say anything else or will end up messing stuff up again.

Scanners

Scanners: I watched this again tonight. Originally watched it in the 80s when I was about 7 or something. It wasn't bad fairly decent film but with a strange ending.
Worth a watch if you like horror sci-fi.

Busy

The weekend seams to of flown by and not really sure what happened to it.

I was out on Friday night with people from work on the monthly Durham night out. There was less people and it was probably better because of it. It still wasnt brilliant maybe its because i didnt get too drunk.

I slept until about 11 on Saturday then got up and worked on my website most of the day. I cant remember doing much else other than looking at some places to go in Scotland. After Amulree i am thinking of going to the North west of Scotland and to some of the very remote beaches up there but not sure yet.

Then today i went to a christening it was for my cousins daughter. The service was as boring as they always are but wasnt too bad in the pub afterwards. Got to see some of the family i hadnt seen for a while although didnt get much chance to talk to most of them, i was stuck in the corner.

Then came home and watched the Masters football then went to sleep, jesus i must be getting old i keep taking naps.

I dont seam to of done all that much but it has flown by.

Strange

I sent kelly johnson a text the other day or i thought i had. I had sent it to alan her husband.

i was hoping to go over this week and see them. I havent seen them since Kelly went on maternity leave in February or of course the new arrival, William.

Kelly sent a reply today and i am going over tomorrow night (today now).

What was strange was that her best mate rang me about an hour after i spoke to Kelly. I hadnt spoke to her since last year (Tina). Kelly must of said she had spoke to me. Tina asked if i could look at her computer, people only ever ring me when they want something :-(

Boring!!!

I'm bored, I have been working away this morning in a trance and have been like that for the last few weeks at work. The work is just so boring at the moment.
I can't wait to get away to Scotland, hopefully plan what I'm doing when I'm there sometime this week.

Its not been much more exciting at home, I need to get myself outside doing something. I said I was going to go out on my bike but still haven't, so thats the plan for tonight!!

Clear Out

I decided to throw out all my old clothes. I keep holding onto them thinking I will use them about the house. The picture above shows some of them. Doesn't look very many but there are tons of T-Shirts and jeans in the darkness behind. I realised after I pulled them out the cupboard that I needed to buy loads of new clothes as I have none now.

Plans

I need to start planning what and where i want to go when i am on holiday. I am booked into a hotel for 2 nights, so need to plan what to do when i am there.

That takes up 3 days including travelling but i want to make sure i am doing stuff the whole week. Would like to go further north in Scotland but would rather not stay in some little b & b. Would consider camping or even sleeping in the car, probably better than a tent anyway.

Otherwise i guess i could go to the lakes walking. I would rather go on my own but i know if i say i am going to the lakes my dad will want to come but want some time to myself.

Will have a look this week and plan what i am going to do each day i am off. If i dont plan it i will do nothing knowing me!

"Pay As You Go" Road Plan

I've just been reading the governents new Pay As You Go Road Plan. Another stupid idea the government has come up with. They would charge you up to £1.34 a mile to drive on the motorway. The cheapest would be 2p a mile in rural areas outside of rush hour. Everyone will take alternative routes and make it chaos on minor roads. This would also mean those in 4 litre Jeeps would pay the same as someone in a 1 litre city car.

It annoys me as I live in the countryside and it just isn't practical to use public transport. It would take up to 90 minutes to get to work on the bus and its only 11 miles and 20-30 minutes in the car. I also have to take my car to work as it is part of the contract for my job as I often have to use it for work. I guess my work would have to cover the price for work journeys.

The best thing the government could do in my area to cut the traffic is to stop the school run, when its school holidays there is no traffic. The traffic has increased massively over the last 8 years I have been driving into Durham. I think a lot of this is due to kids being driven to school probably because parents no longer have to send their children to the local school but can take them to any school they like often miles away.

The other reason the traffic has gone up is the nearby town has almost doubled in size recently due to the number of new houses being built with more to come. So more people are commuting into Durham & Newcastle and the roads cant cope!

Certainly seams like the government wants to know our every move with ID cards and now satellite tracking of our cars. What next chip implants, so they can charge me for using the footpaths. I thought I lived in a free country?

Wonder how much those black boxes are gonna cost every car owner, I thought the £90 for ID Cards was expensive!!

Home

Here's a picture of the village where I live. The Red bricked houses are the Council estate but I live in the street to the right of them that is surrounded by fields. I couldn't live in a busy town too used to the countryside and looking out my window at fields and woods.

The picture is a bit dull because it was overcast and starting to rain. Click the pic for a slightly bigger version!

Dull

I didn't get up and go the pictures. My alarm went off at 8 but I was shattered so turned over and went back to sleep for another 3 hours!

So far today I haven't really done anything. I decided to go for a drive up the dale and take a few pictures while I was out but it started to rain and I got sick of all the Sunday drivers on the road and came back home. I did take a couple of pictures of where I live but not very good because of the weather.

The highlight of the day was cutting my hair, so you can tell how boring today has been :-(

Quiet

I have had a fairly quiet day today and have never left the house.

I ended up looking at ebay again, gonna blame my sister for that. she was having a look with me. This week i have spent nearly £70 on ebay. Most of it today, just hope the prada top im paying £25 for is ok, its cheap if it looks ok.

My sister gave me some vouchers for free popcorn and a drink at the pictures. I want to watch Revenge of the Sith but got no one to go with. If i can get up early tomorrow i am gonna go and watch the early morning showing but not sure i will get up in time. Guess i better go to sleep then.

Batman

Batman: I decided to watch the original movie after seeing Batman & Robin the other day. I hadn't seen this for nearly 15 years and forgot just how dark the film is. It is obvioudly a Tim Burton movie. Michael Keaton is by far the best Batman/Bruce Wayne. I'd recommend this to anyone who has seen any of the other Batman movies. Its far from perfect but worth watching.

Dead Birds

Dead Birds: The film was a bit of a let down, a couple of bits where you could jump (my mother did) but nothing very scary and not much really happened. Could of been so much better. It was watchable but nothing more :-(

De ja vu

I ve been talking on the internet tonight and was listening to some things that totally sounded like me and some of the situations i have been in emotionally over the last 2 years.

Talking about it made me realise how far i had come from 2 years ago not telling a soul about what was eating me up at the time. Still wouldnt write a lot of it on here but before would never mention anything to anyone.

Think i may be a little too honest now...

Dreaming

My digital camera arrived today and I'm fairly impressed especially at the price. I haven't taken many shots, I was hoping to go for a walk and take some pictures tonight but it was raining fairly heavy.

Having just watched Spiderman 2 which was about dreams and sometimes having to give up on them (he didn't have to in the end). It has got me thinking about my own and what I want, suppose I am a dreamer at the best of times. Always day dreaming and wishing for things. Not sure I every do anything to make them come true though.

My life is drifting away before me and going nowhere fast!

Spiderman 2

Spiderman 2: I have finally just watched this. It is the best film I have seen in some time. One of those films that afterwards you have a warm glow and makes you think about your own dreams. Wouldn't of thought I'd say that about a Comic book based movie. I would recommend this to anyone :-)

Resident Evil: Apocolypse

Resident Evil - Apocolypse: I watched this last night. It was OK but nothing special. It somehow seamed a bit disjointed maybe lots of cuts where made to the film to keep it to 90 minutes or something. Thats how it felt.
