It's been a while...

On the internet, there are thousands upon thousands of people who think that what they have got to say is interesting, I am one of those people! If you already know me... Hi, remember that awesome time we had together in that place? yeah, me too, good memories. If how ever you are randomly finding this blog and you thought you would give it a read, than welcome, this hopefully will become a place where I shall be posting my opinions on stuff and things that matter to me, oh and I will be probably be posting some of my photoshop work (if you would like to see some of it, look at the background to this page, sexy, I know).

I have tried this blogging lark in the past and failed. I think the failure was a mixture of being in a depressed state,  not really having anything in particular to blog about and feeling like I needed my opinions to be validated by my facebook friends. Well this time round I am not as depressed (in fact if anyone cares, I've been surprising happy recently, go figure), I still don't really have anything to blog about and I still feel like I need peoples approval, but this time round, I'm going to try and not give a fuck...

...blog blogging, blog, blog!

So, what's new with me? well, since I last blogged, I moved to Germany, got really homesick/depressed, moved back to good old Blighty, no longer homesick, remained depressed... hang on, mosquito are in my room, i need to go kill them all *JAMES USED FLIP FLOP SMASH* ... right, yeah still depressed, sat around for 9 months, got offered a temp job Game testing, moved to derby for the job and here I am now, less depressed.

*side note* Seriously, I am really paranoid about the bugs in my room. I killed most of them, at least the ones I could see.

Holy shit Platypi in hats.

So what is the plan for the future? well, College to study graphic design would be nice and it's definitely a step I am willing to take, even if it means I will be going back to education for 2-3 years. What I really want to do though is get a full time job in the games industry again, working at Eurocom has rekindled my love of being a games tester. so yeah, if i could have my way, full time permanent games tester, get my own flat and some puppies (since having pet a platypus isn't strictly legal). I've been thinking a lot about how cool it would be to have kids as well but I'm not sure if that's just down to my Dad issues and wanting to prove a point (that is a subject for another blog).

ohyeah, i forgot to mention I am helping organise a little music festival back in Waterloo, its going to be a highly fun and stressful ordeal but I am looking forward to it, and more than the event, the two hour period after it were me and the other organisers sit down, relax and have a well deserved beer (first round is on me).

if you made it this far, thanks for reading.

Ciao!
