nothing really happening this side of the pond,or maybe im just not seeing it ... I got the Tea selling job which is going great , and already im in line for a promotion , all be it a tempory one with a possibility of it being permanent,, oh well im just happy to be working thus far...
Me and the wife started the gym last week so much pain is being inflicted on us both ... All for the greater good i am led to believe ...
I find it funny when asked by the wife " ok so we have 2 incomes, do we want TV or Gym membership " ...... sit on my ass and watch adverts of how to improve my fitness with the latest new revolutionary gizmo ... or ..... Goto the gym and suck it up !
Well on arrival to much self amusement in the fact that the main room we work out in is a huge military line of runners cycle / bikes / steppers ... all with a TV screen in front of them ..... ahhhhh this was the right choice...
Now i can watch the work out "hiphop ab's " on TV while working my abs ! woo:)
Thats about it ..... Oh i cashed out a few quid on poker too this week , that freeroll is still earning me money , and i havnt put any money into poker since i have been here in the USA... so thats a bonus,, hopefully i can do the same in EU and AW when i get back ;)
Hope y'all good people !
Oh and dont forget to check out the new media site of the kamikaze safety gear factory ;)

The Newly Weds, Heather & James
Here is a picture from our wedding night! Finally, you'll be able to place the name with a face :)
Mr. and Mrs. James Racine! aka Mr. & Mrs Jambon hehehe :)
I'd share more pictures with you guys/gals, but I'm not really the best person for the job... I'm apt to screw it up some how.
Hello again
First off I want to congratulate Mr and Mrs. Jambon, I wish you the best in your future life as husband and wife. :)
Other then that most things are ok with me, just so damn tired all the time, wonder why? But I made it to lvl70 last week... maybe that has something to do with me being tired... NAH!
Hope you all are having a great time and life is smiling towards you
Matt...

Back from Canada
Welcome back...
As I was mentioning in the last blog entry, James and I went to City Hall to apply for our marriage license. We already set the time and date with the Justice of the Peace... filled out the paperwork and then was told, Sorry we hold the license for 3 days, today being Wednesday, it won't be ready until Monday
So we had 2 options.... Plan B.. we simply change the date so it's after Monday or...Plan C... we go to the court house, ask the Judge/Magistrate to waive the 3 day waiting period and we may get charged a fee, or we may not get charged a fee.
We toyed with Plan C.. went to the court house..Asked a few questions and was told that the fee would be $195.00
and if we felt that we could not afford to pay that, we could fill out a Financial Statement.
Good God!! Is that really necessary?!? All that extra paperwork and paying out $195 just to shave off 1 day. In the end, we went with Plan B... I called the JP and asked if he was available for Monday... Luckily he was able to squeeze us in at 7pm
James's parents will be driving down Sunday evening and they want to take us out to dinner Monday night. We'll will be taking a rain check on our Honeymoon... My job being the way it is... and money being tight, We'll have plenty of time to plan for that 
Once we are officially Married and we are Mr. & Mrs. Jambon
James can apply to be my Sponsor, hopefully get approved and then I can apply to get my Permanent Resident Card... *sigh*
The government sure doesn't make things easy. But it's their game, their rules and we have to play by their standards in order to live our lives the way we want.
It's not just a simple process where I can move up there once we are married, and start looking for a job. No, no, that would almost be too simple and the government couldn't suck out the extra money from our pockets. The truth is, if I didn't have to work, I would have made the big move months ago! Guess I better start playing the lottery then
Anyhoo... That's all I have to share for now...I'll come back with the Wedding Update.

millions of blogs out there
You may be poor blunked, but you can start a trillion blogs.. there are so many out there, many of them completely free, so you can make tons of sites for different purposes and link them all against each other or, you find "the perfect" blog system, where you can have all your needs represented on one page, wich i would prefer...
soooo.. i´d say, there are quite some possible moves ;)
like.. i just made this one up, all free too, comes directly with calender and such and you should be able to make categories:

Train hard...
...fight easy!
Had some more time over so I felt that I should give you some info about the company I'm working at.
It's a part of the SAAB Group (http://www.saabgroup.com) and as you might know they focus mainly on the defence industry, the part where I'm working is called SAAB Training Systems (http://www.saabgroup.com/en/ProductsServices/BusinessUnit/saab_training_systems.htm) and they manufacture laser combat simulation equipment for military and law enforcement use.
The whole system, that costs a shitload, can handle up to 1500 players at a time, ppl or vehicles...
Each unit is prepped with a reciver (for the soldiers it's a vest and "halo") that has built in sound. When a soldier is hit, the vest starts to beep and he's "dead".
Every weapon is prepped with a sender that reacts to firing of blanks... so you use your own weapon and fire it like normal, but you score hits with harmless laser.
Add to that a GPS tracking of each player, gear to transfer the effect of indirect fire in to houses where soldiers hide and... a medical simulation (a soldier gets hit, if the medic manage to stabilise him in time he doesn't die), a gasmask that feels when you breath trough it, so if gas is on the battlefield and you don't manage to put the mask on fast enough ----> you're out.
Handgrenade sims, mine sims.... what not, that all works with laser and calculates the effect on the soldiers.
On top of that... a realtime surveillance and a after combat presentation on video, where you can see who "died" and when, who shot who and what each player did every second of the "play"...
It's paintball for grown ups, or as I say... The difference between boys and men is the price on their toys.
I've used some off this gear, live so to say, in the army and I can tell you that it's as close as you wanna be to the real shit.
So... when I walked in to the R&D Dep on my first tour and saw what they had to "play" with, I swear, I started sweating... It's bleeding amazing really.
So, some info, to start with... I can recommend their webpage, they have some good info there.

"What does this thing do? No, don't touch t....."
Hi there!
Great that you got your stuff together m8, gratz on the SS-card, now all ya need is a job and start bringing in some bread to the house. I'm happy for ya.
School is going well, had my first 2 exams and know that I did very good in one and hopefully past in the other. Besides that I'm out on my first intern period at SAAB Training Systems... kinda fun but wth... a intern doesn't do all that much really.
My project is to update their supplier database, just a nudge over 3000 companies I have to gather new info about. It pretty much handles itself after the initial workeffort.
But their products are right up my alley, training gear for soldiers... sorta like paintball but with lasers.... and way more costly. Everything from firearms to tanks... guns, GPS... maps... anti-tank rifles... (ooooh drooling) I'm like a kid in a huge toyshop where everything is free!!!!
This is Disneyland for wicked ppl like me.
On top of that everything is ok in my life, as you might know I had some computer probs and couldn't play PE, that is fixed now but then I had some probs with the mouse scrollwheel instead, ingame it took forever to swap between 1st and 3rd pow. Turns out that it was the mouse software that needed some fixing, that's done now. You can say what you want about MS but they sure as hell got what you need on their webpage, as long as you know what you need. LOL
So it looks like I'm gonna be able to enjoy the game to the max again. :-)
On the other game, WoW that is (no, stop cursing now Blunk!), it's been going very well, my goal is to reach lvl 68 (at least) before nov 13 when the expasion WoTLK is released. Belive me, the world will grind to a halt on that day... 9 million accounts worldwide and we're all waiting for this.
Here you can follow my progress http://eu.wowarmory.com/character-sheet.xml?r=Shadowsong&n=Oskarsson
At lvl 64 of 70 now, when WoTLK comes you can go up to lvl 80 and they added a whole new continent and a new class named "Death knight" (doesn't it sound interesting? Eeeh?)
Here you can see a teaser movie about the expansion http://www.wow-europe.com/wrath/intro.xml
Ok ppl, I got to get back to work now, hope you're all doing good and that excellence fills your lifes.
Blunked... good going m8, miss ya in PE.
Vix... love ya and I know that James will make you a happy camper. :-)
Jaco... just keep up what you do best, being Jaco that is.

Hope this works.....
Hope this works.....
wake me up when september ends
Got my social security card today, so thats it we did it !
I just need a job now , but im not really worried as I have always found work when I needed to in the past .
All the waiting has come to this day , of us waiting for the Authorization to work , then only a week on top of that for the Social card, 10 weeks in all since we filed the paper work . Its not been easy but we did it !
Applied to a few stores online , and will be hitting the streets tomorrow for a round of 'Job Hunter' , a bit like Steve erwin and the crocodile hunter i think , with out the cargo shorts tho ! The Americans think im Australian anyway so i'll have the theme tune in my head all tomorrow :)
So its been a bit quiet on here i know not much to report from this side of the web .
Oh i do have a placing at a recording studio for a trainee sound engineer , which sounds really impressive, but its not going to pay the bills immediately . I meet with the guy next sunday and will be training every sunday for 2 months or so. Then its down on me to get artists into the studio for me to get paid . Which sounds a bit crap, but its good experience for me and thats all i care for .
On more of the music front, i have been knocking the music out of my own studio for the last few months like a mad man . This month even saw me make some money for my work :O shock horror .
I got a good compliment on my music , and it kinda put me in motion to get on some websites and actually put it up for sale . So I have sold 7 mp3's as of me writing this ! You gotta start somewhere huh ;)
I actually released a few names under different genres on *drum roll *
' The Kamikaze Safety Gear Factory ' Recordings , hehe , so we are officially in business people ;)
Its all at www.beatsdigital.com blunked / niminal / nil / duckwax / harry hut . All my different styles upcoming on our label ! So keep posted, and if any of you would like any of my noise you know my msn name ;)
OH !
Gotta love craigslist.com too !
FREE NEW FULL TOWER ! still in box
CDRW + 60 GB Hard Drive, im assured they work , but i havnt tested !
Can anyone shed any light on WTF these things are ? (no prizes for the bottle of heiniken or the wifes elbow btw )
The cat had to get in on the action too ... The hard drive and cd was in foam and stuff i have never seen when i have paid hard earned money for PC bits !!!
So just need a few more bits and im back in business !!!!
In reflection of recent months, i've never had such a slow pc that im unable to SL , EU , Photoshop and a whole host of other pc hungry applications , And yet I have been my most productive !
Weird huh
Just a quick thanks to all for keepin me sane over the struggle ! Congrats to Sav too 20 days and she is off to be married :)
Matt is in college , which is great news ! and he is enjoying WOW which is not so good ;)
Kenzie is about to take on the great north run marathon which is something i hope i can do someday .
Jaco .... well.... is jaco ^^

scribefire firefox addon test
nicenice, blunked should like this. ;)
blender camwalk
so this post was done with scribefire, wich actually, despite to blogger itself, is able to embed youtube videos in the blog. At least i did not manage to do so with the blogger interface so far. ;)
it actually has more nice features, as you can handle several blogs with one interface and a lot more.
me likey. ;)

Update on my life situation
Sorry peps, this silence isn't intentionally.
Just got a whole lot off nothing going on atm, trying my best to cope with everything in my life, school and everything is getting on my nerves but hopefully I will fly straight from here on.
I will try and get back to writing asap.
While my EU wasn't working a friend talked me in to trying WoW and I must say one thing, that damn game stuck... In many ways it sure beats the crap out of EU.
I'll get back on the subject.

hehe, been in testmode again ;)
As SL is boring me a bit lately, i did some testing on toys again and indeed found some funny stuff. To be more precise, i been looking for addons for firefox 3, cause updating led to losing some funny ones, wich lead to browsing and testing. ;)
Here some results:
Cooliris (win only) and Cooliris Previews
FoxyTunes
Ubiquity
Speed Dial
Google
Security addons
Here some results:
Cooliris (win only) and Cooliris Previews
- first: Cooliris is a picture wall wich indexes searchword related pictures from different sources, like google, flickr and youtube (yes it plays vids too)
- second: Cooliris Previous gives you a (navigatable) preview of a website when you hover over a link, very nice stuff
FoxyTunes
- ever been annoyed for having to minimize your browser for changing a song in your player? Also you have a button to look up track and artist just playing now and get results from various pages
Ubiquity
- experimental addon from Mozilla Labs see http://labs.mozilla.com/2008/08/introducing-ubiquity/ for more ;)
Speed Dial
- provides a start page with a choice of 9 configurable site-previews, to quickly access your favourite sites
- there are several google related addons, like googlepedia, google preview, and customize google among they are partly covering each other and i haven´t look into any options yet, so you might wanna have a look on your own ;)
- LOL or you just use http://www.scroogle.org/cgi-bin/scraper.htm for some cleaner search results and (maybe) less data mining ;)
Security addons
- Adblock Plus, Flashblock, NoScript - there are tons of others, but that would need a deeper look into it

aah!
its alive...
hehe sorry for being absent a while, website creation is in the hot phase atm, so i have to spend more time on that, rather than reading blogs or play some games.
sooo blunked managed to make me have a look into anarchy online... and it is...
erm ;)
i mean first i had a good laugh about entropia, for being such a bad clone ;)
then i figured, that i´m running into the same problems i have with entropia or WoW or whatever game.. i kinda refuse to learn a complete new interface with trillions of shortscuts and other tricks, for not being able to produce anything with it.
i would rather like to learn another program or improve my blender skills, instead of learning an interface i can´t produce with, but then again, there is no blunk to nag about there. ;)
so i guess i will have some more looks into ao, but i can tell by now, that i won´t become a hardcore-player there, cause .. uhm.. just hunt and loot is not really my game.

Update on Matts life situation
Today, August 18, I'm starting school...
For 2 years forward I will study economics, customer relations and stuff to become a salesmanager.
Hopefully it will go well and lead to high paid job with decent workhours.
Can't complain about the class, many girls in suitable age and they all seem like a fun crowd. So I reckon it will be fun.
Hope the rest of you is doing well and everything is going ok.

bike pays off.....
I was up at the crack of bird shit yesterday, finding myself browsing through the freebie section on craigslist.
After stumbling upon a FREE BOOKS section , and much ummm'ing and arrr'ing. I packed my bag and off I rode convinced they would be gone by now, but I dont need much excuse to explore my city a little more.
About 30 minutes and I get to the street, and low and behold !!!! BOOOOOOOKS
FREE BOOKS !!!!!
I took as many as my backpack would take. I really could have done another trip, as there were lots of good quality books with the covers all intact. *Yawn* i know not very interesting ! ;)
Damn it though Owt for Nowt I say .... Anything for Nothing ;)

poker pays off
Nice bike huh ?
Well for $30 I ain't complaining.
The $30 dollars I got from sitting on my ass playing poker that is !
Got it off craigslist after I nearly bought an older bike , no suspension for $25.
Went to the guys house , I jumped on it , and nearly ate concrete after applying the breaks . As Over here they are wired up back to front ,and I nearly went screaming over the handlebars.
A few adjustments with a spanner and it will be ready to roll, and YES MATT !!!
I WILL BE TAKING THAT KICK STAND OFF ASAP !

Another step closer...
We went to the Employment support center today to get my immigration process rolling again, and i had my finger prints and photo taken . So that was nice .
I think we under-estimated how hard this was going to be on us , even though we went through it all with a fine toothed comb.
We are so close to that point, were everything will be OK, when I am working and bringing in much needed cash .
I feel for our Vixen as I know your going through something similar ,but you guys are being more cautious towards the big switch. I am already looking for potential jobs for when that sweet day soon will come, when our post box contains that much needed single piece of paper.
So come on post man do your job !!! Give me my license to work ! or kill !!!!! I always fancied myself as james bond, Double '0' nothing . Hmmmm that new james bond sucks tho IMHO!
Wow ramble on !
Not really been inspired to blog much, things are alright here for now :)
I have managed to work my measly poker score upto a fantastic ............. $41.55 , so im getting towards that million dollar mark like a turtle, Slowly but Surely ....
I think that is it !
oh.
A good friend also posted a new mix up on the mix site http://kontactkyoto.t83.net/
I have something on the way soon for your ears
Errrrmmm...
The new batman film rocks !

My wifes rant....
You know that you're married to a cyclist when...
...he thinks a nice bikeride with the family is 40kms long.
...he says "you can fix your own flattires"
...he thinks a good vacationtrip is to go to the alps and try some of the hills from Tour deFrance.
...he thinks a good birthday gift is a new handlebar for your bike.
...he thinks you like the taste of energypaste as much as he does.
...he wants you to help him shave his legs.
...you come home from work and find one of his bikes in molecules all over the dinner table.
...he thinks you giving him a leg massage is a good substitute for sex.
...he washes parts in gasoline in the bathroom sink.
...he thinks tuna and pasta is a "good" meal.
...his exercise clothes are growling at you in a corner on wash days.
...he thinks that a perfect gift from you is a carbonfibre bottleholder.
...he thinks it's ok to watch a romantic movie on his trainer while you sit alone in the couch.
...he thinks it's ok that he wears his pulsewatch during sex.
...he spends more money on cycling clothes and shoes then on normal clothes.
...he starts to talk about saddles in bed.
...his alarms goes off in the middle off the night, just so he can get up and take some food compliment.
...he tries to explain why he really needs that sixth bike.
...you get jealous on his bikes.
I guess she's right and sometimes I can't understand how she stands this.

Good To Have Y'all Here
Nothing throws out a routine like, going to vegas , getting married ,leaving your country behind and more importantly Timezone !
Its been hard to keep in touch with the people i have got accustomed to through the years, Real life and more so Internet life.
So Thanks go out to you all for being here . It took blood sweat and a lot of heart ache to get you to all commune with me here, as you all prolly know the laptop here isn't something you will see in bill gates home or office or toilet facilities in limoseine/bus .
So this is my home away from home right now and i love the blogs you guys already have going on here . I know get the whole 'BLOG' thing .

Yay!
how to start into a fucked up day.. get up at 5.30 and hunt to work, just to get told you have free.
best part of it, when you knew this would happen since a week, and everything goes as predicted... and you only predicted it to avoid it happening, and those who you predicted it to have nothing better than fuck it up despite to your best effort.
so pleased.. da jaco ;)

Yay! Blender-Sculpties becoming fun now
so for the second lifers of you, who have a bit of on interest in building... here comes the good news:
after a long journey into sculpty prims, searching for a good and easy way to build sculpties and not really finding one... i managed to find some really helpful scripts to extend blender, wich make working on sculpts really easy and precise.
first you want to download these scripts:
after this you might want to watch the video-tuturials on http://blog.machinimatrix.org/

The cost of selling - PRICELESS
There has been times in my life I have been down due to the overwhelming fact that I am a underachiever .
I should have done better at school and college , got a career ... You get the jist...
So right now i am poor, and poorer due to the fact i cant work for 90 days due to not having my work permit here in the USA.
Dumb and poor , not a good combination , when I passed a pawn shop here in Las vegas after sending my Immigration paperwork to the powers that be. Hmmmm I was wearing my watch that cost me a weeks wage back in the UK.. Why not !
After handing the lady the watch, she taps away on the PC , a few minutes pass, and then a few more,,,, then she calls someone else over,,,,, they both utter under their breaths for a few more minutes....
"Sorry sir ... I cant give you a value on this watch , but we could hold it for a $20 pay day loan"
I politely and smilingly decline the young ladies offer. I enquire to why no price could be established.
"well ,,,, we are only getting non american sites up,,, and they have a number , and a funny symbol infront of the number "
OH ?!!?!?!?!?!?! ....... Can I have a look myself at this mysteriously alien marking that is baffling these two young shop assistants...
" Its like a backwards 3 " she tries to draw it in the air like that helps ...
I reach my head around, leaning over the desk...
ummm...
errrrrrrrrrrrrrrr...
(insert lightbulb above my head and harmonious choir music) HALLELUJAH !
Thats a pound sign ........
Both ladies smile...... "You do know what a pound sign is " ????!??!?!? i ask,
Both look even more bemused... " uuuuuummmmmmmmmmmmm"
"we cant give you a price if its not in dollars"
:O
I politely decline the $20 payday loan once more before leaving feeling like the love child of Einstein and steven hawkins ( some might argue i DO look like this anyway).
In Conclusion , I might not be scraping the barrel as low as I thought for many years.

Just an update
So life is good today.
We went to the immigration USCIS office today at 8 am , which means we was up at 6am 0.0 , Great relief in the guy informing us that even though my visa free stay here ends in 8 days, aslong as i send the documents before the 18th , no one is going to come and kidnap me and take me to england !
Also the process will take about 6 months all together, YET he also said the E.A.D , Emplotment Authorization Document will take no longer then 90 days ! SO good news all around here. We was so relieved to actually talk to someone ,rather then going it alone from the website. That we went and splurged on a nice slap up breakfast. Well I had chocolate chip pancakes dripping in butter and syrup *drool* ....
I joined a gym last week too , just on a FREE one week trial. I hooked up with a workmate of beckis ,and took to a hour and half of shadow boxing in a non-air conditioned sweat box . Which is why when i go out now in the heat it doesnt feel so bad lol. Enjoyed every minute of it even though it was rather intimidating at 1st , as you all prolly know im only 4lbs wet through and having to do sit ups and push ups squeezed next to 2 big sweaty guys was a real kodak moment im sure. It was amazing and will be returning full time once cash is not a problem . The gyms name is "Fight Club " which had me thinking of the movie but was nothing like it hehe :)
On a geekier level.
Unable to play EU and SL , and not being able to Photoshop or anything that requires MORE POWER CAPTIN !
I have resorted to 2 other MMO's ...
Star port GE http://www.starportgame.com/gallery.php
A Build em up / Shoot em up , Space trade / Colonize and destroy others kinda Frontier Elite type 2d game ....
And....
Anarchy Online ..... http://www.anarchy-online.com/
Nearly 7 years old. (runs on my laptop ok ;) AO is a MMORPG ...
Not just your regular , Run / Shoot / Level mmo. Its REALLY REALLY Huge and deep . With about 15 different starting professions to choose, from Martial Artist to Agent and Trade to technician its fun being a noob all over ( Like i have ever been anything else) .
I dunno... Maybe Im just addicted to the innocence of being a noob, I love it !!! I've played too many MMO's to count.
These latest 2 are OK . Im sure when I get SL and EU back up and running ,I'll long forget these. I miss everyone in the online world who i have got to know in the last few years of me excercising my Nerdyness .
Moving along .... I've been back in the Digital Studio , chopping and mangling all kinds of sounds in an attempt to have some one say "hey that sounds like music " . Also I do plan on updating the Mix website with some more tunage....
SO thats it i think....
Went out last night to the strip with the wife. I even tipped a couple of times . GRRRRR!!
Money helps here in Vegas, But we got by in style lol, by playing the 1 cent slots and waiting for the bar girls to shout "Drinks ... Cocktails " ... and tipping her a dollar or two ;)
Caesers Palace
We also went to New York New York , Which is so much fun and the facades are so impressive. No photos though sorry lol . Damn J.D and coke !
Ohwell , hope your all doing good too , catch you soooooooooooooooooooooon :)
Ohwell , hope your all doing good too , catch you soooooooooooooooooooooon :)

I really really really want to dropkick all the youtube ghost hunting video cast members and their families
Well hello readers .
I know its been a while , (insert real life excuse) but im sure to tell a tale of ghooooooOOOOooolish grimace... (not the purple mcdonalds blob,).
Actually im not.
I'm just going to throw some random crap out there because its been on my mind a few days and I was hoping to tie it all in together cleverly (insert real life excuse no.2)
So monsters !!!!
BOO!!!
Big.... Scary ...Blood sucking bats n stuff...
EEK!!!
So , what is the deal with these 'Ghost hunters' ....
Lemme explain like this ...
One day i decide to go fishing . I take equipment needed to catch said fish .
I goto a lake with fish in it in the attempt to catch a real geniuine 'bite my teeth into' fish.
I use the equipment and hook the fish and take fish home with me for everyone to see.
OK....
So then i decide to catch a ghost . I get equipment to capture a ghost ... (camcorder)
I goto a big spooky scary house which has locals scared to death just to walk past it at night.
I film myself in night vision mode. Hear something . Throw the camera all about pointing at the floor mainly . 'SEE A GHOST'..... And then,,
Here is where a fishman , and a ghosthunter differs....
And then, Proceed to run as fast as i can screaming in the total opposite direction.
hmmmmm...
I cant see why I would want to find ghosts, just to turn my skinny white ass around and propel it in the complete opposite direction of 'Ghost' ....
I know people ' get scared ' and have to run.. But seriously im so mad thinking about this again i just want to lay down a series of F words (good old Gordon Ramsey) .
In conclusion ,
If you have this uncontrollable desire to go 'ghost hunting' then its going to be hard to grow some brain cells...... So just grow some balls please.
OH and Vampires !
whats the deal with them . They only sleep when the sun comes up ? Surely they could turn into bats and follow the moon into different timezones ?
I can never enjoy scary movies, stupid logical brain.
Im not saying in all this , that i dont believe in ghosts, as I am sceptical. I beleive we are not ment to understand everything as a species or else we would do already, lol i could rant on and on (ok ok time to end this )
Super long rant over. I swear i never wrote this much at school !

bad luck/good luck?
Ok, i'm off sick from work today and so I need to entertain myself.....
So i wonder, do people believe in bad luck and good luck? Like black cats crossing your path = bad luck and a certain pair of undies = good luck and that kind of stuff?
I ask cuz i have a pal whose relationship broke up a day or so after a black cat crossed their path, not that she is stupid enough to think that was the cause.....but was it an omen of things to come...?? Or is that kind of thinking just asking for trouble, people will be constantly looking behind them and neurotically avoiding cracks on the pavement, etc...
On the flipside, i know people who wear a certain pair of boxers to any interviews they have and have gotten the job each time.....and i have it on good authority that yes, they are washed in between these interviews ;) .....so they somehow think that is a helping hand/good luck. Could it just be that the positivity of the IDEA of those undies being a good thing helps them to do better in the interview subconsciously?
Is it just all coincidence, or is luck really a thing? I'm not a philosophical person, and i am rubbish at debating, but i just thought i'd throw that out there since i'm bored :)
ha!
What do YOU think??

Hey hey hey
Another writer here? Interesting....
Life goes on I guess, had a rant about the life in general and the youths behavior in particular but the previous post kinda put me off that. I read it with great interest.
Hope everyone is doing ok and that the sun is shining over you, I got 4 weeks vacation now so I guess it will rain every day. Who cares, the bikes run as smoothly in rain so it doesn't matter. LOL
Have a great one and I'll be back soon.

Charva neighbor tunes......
Hi everyone!!! Thanks to Blunked for inviting me to blog along with y'all! please excuse my lack of grammar, bah! :P Who needs grammer in blogs anyway!
So I'm just sat here at the moment in front of my computer listening to a wacked out montage of music.....partly my own and partly crappy charva neighbor tunes coming thru my ceiling! Ha! It's a blend of bad pop/dance tunes muffled by the ceiling and my own choice of the minute Arctic Monkeys.....Brainstorm drowning out some random Scooter song, blah!
Oh, for anyone who isn't familir with what a charva is, according to Wikipedia:

Oh, for anyone who isn't familir with what a charva is, according to Wikipedia:
Chav also Charv/Charver are mainly derogatory slang terms in the United Kingdom for a stereotype fixated on low quality or counterfeit goods. It commonly refers to those belonging to a youth sub-culture, often stereotypically associated with a low socio-economic class, a striking dress sense and criminal activity.
Uhh......"striking dress sense"....heheh! Anyway, they are maybe similar to US "white trash" but not in a good way. And usually it's the charvas who throw bottles at harmless passer-bys and beat up old grannies going to collect their pension checks, along with begging everyone for cigarettes(cuz they are usually under-age to buy them) and generally being LOUD and obnoxious without caring who they bother. They love to blast Scooter tunes at ridiculously high volumes from their cars and/or mobiles and/or home stereos while having the windows wide open......it's the mobile phone blasting i particularly enjoy listening to while on the metro - we all love a good Scooter sing-a-long while on public transport! Hehehe
So in general, it's the people who get the cops called on them every night and are on the police dept's "frequently visited" list.
So..... now that you've met my upstairs neighbors..... hehe.
It just makes me giggle really. I wonder if they like Arctic Monkeys? Who knows..... i may change their Scooter-loving ways with my variety of taste, i dare say they already like drum n bass due to it's bassy qualities(good for blasting). So we have that in common, and i probably wouldn't mind them blasting that once in a while, as long as it wasn't 3.30am on a Sunday night. Maybe i should slip them a cd under their door for their listening pleasure.....it may just work in my favor! ;)
Maybe i should make it my goal to educate them on good-quality tunage.....then again, that'd be a HUGE job! i'll leave it to someone else for now....but beware Charva-neighbors, you MAY actually like what you hear coming at ya from below!
:P

The final countdown...
It's tuesday pm.... I have to work 2 more days... then it's here, gonna hit me like a shovel in the back off the head while I'm picking my nose... 4 wonderfull looooooooong weeks paid vacation.
Then I work 1 week, maybe, have applied for another week off but not sure if I'm getting it... After that week I'm starting a 2 year education to become a sales assisant/sales manager, finally got my thumb out and gonna do something with my life, time to get out off this crappy job and become something when I'm grown up.
Been a hellish week so far, lots off papers have to be sent to different places... living in the phone... ALOT!

Pirates YarrrrrRRR!!!
Ahoy mateys, i got a lil storey of seadogs and scallywags .
In 1839 , Louis Dagurre invented the 1st practical technology for producing photographs,as he named them "daguerrotypes" .Expensive new technology that could capture a picture like this was indeed in demand, despite cost. The rich elite had their way with it , while the rest of the masses just carried on with life. (AVAST YE)
It wasnt until 1888 ,when an enthusiast called George Eastman was pissed off at the technology ,that he decided to do something about it, and indeed he did ! (PIECES OF EIGHT)
So Georgey aka "Mr Kodak" , yeah u know . Made a device with flexible film that was on a single spindle. The roll could be sent to a developer, and thus driving down the cost of it all !!!
"You press the button and we do the rest" was as it was marketed.(YARR YE LAND LUBBERS)
So $25 bucks the average joe could snap his family and save them in a nice photo album for eternity, not bad eh ? Not so bad indeed for kodak as they were printing 6000 negatives a day from 1888 - 1909 .
This is where it gets interesting, as much as it was an economical achievement, Its the social side of it that is of significance. (HEAVE HO MATEY)
Early in the history of photography, many judicial decisions were made that could have changed it all so...
The arguements was that you could take a photo of something (with out permission Yarrrr) and capture and print the image.Better known as Pirating something of value .
Fortunately for 'Freedom' the courts ruled eventually for the Pirates and in general , No permission was required for you to take a picture of your family in front of or next to a disney poster, or holding a coca cola bottle. Permission was presumed. (THAR SHE BLOWS!!)
It could have all gone differently though, if we had to get permission before we took a pic of our family and friends on the beach. Do you think you would have so many pics now on your hard drive ? Would you stick to the law ? Or would you want those precious moments captured forever.
So when the New York top ten stock exchange elite say "Dont share music. Dont take our profits. Dont steal and plunder and dont take forms of expression and build upon on them freely".
Just think...
Aye... It be time te walk the plank with them land lubbers !

"(This s a special moment right now,
We'd like to take this time to tell all the kids at home,
Send your parents out of the room this is a kid's song.)
Life's gonna suck when you grow up, When you grow up, when you grow up
Life's gonna suck when you grow up, It sucks pretty bad right now.
(Hey! If you know the words, Sing along!)
You're gonna hafta mow the lawn, Do the dishes, make your bed.
You're gonna hafta go to school until you're seven-teen.
(It's gonna seem about three times as long as that)
You're gonna hafta go to work, go to work, go to work,
Your boss'll be a big big jerk, a big big jerk, a big big jerk,
Your boss'll be a big big jerk in all of your career
You might have to go to war, shoot a gun, kill a nun.
You might have to go to war, when you get out of school.
(Hey cheer up kids, it gets a lot worse.)
You're gonna hafta deal with stress Deal with stress, deal with stress.
You're gonna be a giant mess When you get back from the war.
Santa Clause does not exist, and there's no Easter Bunny,
You'll find out when you grow up, that Big Bird isn't funny.
(funny, funny, hahahahaha!)
Life's gonna suck when you grow up, When you grow up, when you grow up
Life's gonna suck when you grow up, It sucks pretty bad right now.
You're gonna end up smoking crack, on your back, face the fact.
You're gonna end up hooked on smack, and then you're gonna die.
And then you're gonna die-ie-ie-ie-ie.
(Something for the kids, Well, I think I smell a lawsuit in that one, What do you think?)"
Not the original video, but you get a feel for the song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mbXkjXKK6OE
Is this what life is all about? No, don't worry... not gonna get very deep at the moment.
Eat, shit, work and sleep... If you win the genetic tombola you might even get some offspring.
I just get tired with ppl blaming their fucked up lifes on everyone else... "I'm just not happy, that's why I'm hooked on smack, have a eatingdisorder, listen to deathmetal, write poetry, am depressed and cut myself in the arms"
Here's a little trade secret for ya all, especially those I described before...
THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS HAPPINESS!!!!
If we went around being happy all the time we would get bored and therefore once again be unhappy, no human being can live in a 24/7 happiness mood. It would bore us to death.
We choose to live our sorry lifes in a way that gives us the less UNhappiness. Yes, it's true, we're all that fucked up in our heads. Lets face it, just take a step back and look in to yourselfs.
Is your lack off so called happiness just not a sign that you're so fucked up in your head that you need professional care?
Back to the example... (this is a few persons I've met in RL, both in my profession and on my time off)
Drug use is a sign off a weak personality... to be able to use a drug and keep control off our life is a good thing, it's a sign off discipline, to be hooked is a sign off mental weakness, you'er giving in to something.
Eating disoders... is just about the same as the drug use... uncertain ppl will go to not eating to become pretty and thin... everyone who has seen a anorectic nude will join me in puking the guts out behind the nearest corner.
Deathmetal is music made by ppl that can't play an instrument or sing, especially sing, it's pale, pimplefaced teens (even the musicians over 40 are teens) that needs to get a life... come on now... I can write a deathmetal song in 2 secs... infact, just take this text, push the mike down your throat and scream this text as loud as you can... it's a deathmetal tune.
Poetry... to write poetry about how miserable you are and put it up on internet for other fuck-ups like yourself to read is just pathetic, I've been reading some off this... shit... and it follows no rules... it follows no "beat" and it's just the same old texts... once again, I can write one off those miserable poems in 2 secs, in fact I wrote one while I was talking to one off these persons... in 1 minute, and sent it to her and she absolutely LOVED it... all I did was to write some shit about darkness and lonliness... 1 minute... that was it.
Depression... OFC you'll be depressed if you act like this! Is there any doubt what so ever? Get a fucking life! Get out there, join social activies like evening courses, start exercising, go to the beach, sit in the park and read a book... just stop sitting indoors in front off a computer all your free time, go to bed in a normal time and sleep your 8 hours a night and you WILL feel much better in the morning, accept life for what it is and RELAX! If this doesn't help, go to a shrink, get medication and try again. Nothing gets you more depressed then just giving up without a fight, don't you tell me about being depressed, I've been diagnosed with clinical depression for more years then most off you snotty pimpelfaced loosers has lived.
Self-cutting... Come on now, that is just a way to get attention and is a normal follow up to depression, here's a tip for ya, there are other ways to get attention and rebel. If your parents are highly educated lawyers or something with a healthy look on the equality between men and women, start listening to some rap artist that likes to call women hoe's... you get the picture...
If your parents are in to ecological shit... get a fuelguzzling car and so on... BE CREATIVE!
Come on now ppl... Life will suck, it always has and always will... that what makes us tick and fight on... lets just make the best off it.
I have more on the subject but no time atm... This text is written to a special person, I have no idea if that person will ever read it but to be honest, I don't give a fuck anymore.

Is this thing on?
I apologize for my blogging n00bness :P I figured out how to cut/paste my blog entries from the EF to this site. I couldn't figure out how to post on the main page to be honest.
Blunked, I'm soooo happy for you!! I'm glad that things are working out for you and the misses. My life is still on hold at the moment... and it sucks... all this waiting is driving me insane. It would be one thing if I were kept informed, but that's simply not the case.
If this continues much longer, I may follow your lead and just say "Screw It!" and book the next flight to Calgary.
Anyhoo... if this posts on the main page, then I'll be sure to post more often :P I promise!!
Best Wishes
Vixen78 aka Sav

Taking the 1st step to immigration and having to go do my medical today was less painful then 1st thought .
It only took 1 hour , and we ended up at 2 different medical centres at that , woohoo !
I know sav is ranting about healthcare on her blog , so far be it from me to say to much praise.
So $80 dollars down ,and 2 tubes of blood later, the nurse sends me and wife AKA the limo driver, on our way to the next place where im getting poked more, $135 im told will be the cost, OK no worries there madam , i fill out the papers go back to lady number 2 , that will be 130 dollars , please go pay at the cashier ,,, no problem !
I pay gracefully , and park my bum down , and no sooner as i think " wow this is going to be a long wait" i hear " MR Wilkes " woohoo !!!
Nurse and her superiour talk about Email, then tell me to take the paper back to the cashier, with a new slip ...
$90 ,, thats 45 less then i originally expected. THE MILKY BARS ARE ON ME !
2 more pokes and im done, Full of TB jabs and M M R holes, my arms are surely to drop off tomorrow .
I wished it took longer to be honest , it just seemed the more time we spent there , the bigger the discount we got !
Ohwell ... Not exactly a funny story from across the pond Matt...
Did I mention we saw a midget in skin tight lyrica and a guy in a wheelchair fall out onto the road last week in hollywood ? ( I know i shouldnt have laughed , it really looked like a setup to be honest, damn jonnny knoxville)..
I saw sav joined up too , and i think jaco fell off the face of the earth... You guys alive ? :)

It is time...
to celebrate the biggest pagan ceremony/holiday off them all...
June 21 is midsummers eve, the shortest night on the year, here the sun goes down for an hour or so, further to the north it doesn't go down for 2 weeks.
This holiday we celebrate in the traditional viking way, in this day and age we're not to keen on killing animals to please the Gods so we have changed it to getting piss drunk and falling on our backs (Standard Swedish holiday celebration 101).
And the ppl in Hereford do nothing at all, a hint for all you that likes Monty Python...
So another 4 day weekend for me and a great excuse to get wasted, cya all when this is over, hopefully I still got enough braincells left for typing and putting sentences together.

Saturday shake down
So i was up at 7 am , forthe start of the saturday poker event I was taking part in, thinking maybe i would be out in the 1st few minutes or so and head back to bed... Well that was'nt the case.
Long story short as i'm thinking of another blog strictly for my poker'ness as I started writing and It ended up being enough for a book.
I finally went out 54th place out of 3794 and bagging a whopping 3 dollars for nearly 5 hours work!!! Plus another 2-3 hours it took me to actually win a seat in this tournament . I know I know , but seeing as I cant work in the U.S yet, its a start. With no money in my pokerstars account for too long, 3 dollars is all I need !!
So 3 dollars turned into 8 dollars with in an hour of me entering the good old cash games, a slight
improvement but still along way to go. Check out the new blog for more poker ramblings..

Life is...
filled with questions and a long list off answers, the problem is to find the correct answer to our questions... Sorta like in "The hitchhikers guide to the galaxy" (no, not that cheesy movie, the book)... when they build a computer to answer the big question, the one about life, the universe, everything! The computer thinks for 10 million years and the answer is 42! Because they havn't understood the question they need to build another computer, much larger, to find out what the question really meant.
A while back I was, as usual, brushing my teeth and happened to see the toothpaste tube, what in Gods name possesed them to put a clarifying text on how to properly use the tube on it? Are we all turning in idiots or is the company smarter then us? I don't know what scares me the most, the fact they have put it there or the fact that there might actually be people out there that needs the instruction? But I guess it's another step in the americanisation off the world, someone over there has probably sued a toothpaste company for some ridicilous amount off cash because they have hurt themself from inproper use off the toothpaste tube... who knows?
"Your honor, my client got a almost fatal injury after inserting a toothpaste tube off this brand in to her rectum, it doesn't say anywere on the tube that you shouldn't do it, therefore she's demanding 4000 billion dollars!"
It's like ppl suing the tobaccocompanies for getting lungcancer from smoking. WTH!!! Did the company send out a rep that held a gun to your head and forced to you to smoke until you where addicted? NO! It was a decision you made all by yourself, you better bite the bullet and live with the consequenses off your choises.
Ok, I admit, I'm in a naggin mood today, better give up for now.

Feel free to call me what you want. LOL
I am and will always be a bikefreak. Freeride, uphill, downhill, xc, road.... ANYTHING that's me against the laws off nature.
If you don't know anything about biking, go to youtube and search for freeride or downhill vids, you will be amazed.
So many roads and hills, so much skin to tear and scartissue to grow. LOL
yes, I'm sitting at work and yes, I am bored once again... wish I could download PE to the workcomputer and spend my workdays doing some pixelated violence towards innocent creatures but no no, if they found out I would get fired, this job might be boring but the paycheck sure is nice so I better not. LOL
Time for a caffeine overdose...

Glad to hear that you're getting along...
Here are a few advice from one married man to another....
1. NEVER start a sentence with the words "You're f%¤&ing mother", when you get to ...er you better be running already.
2. When she says "we need to talk", set the house on fire, it's easier to deal with... because it means "You need to shut up while I tell you all the ways you've been screwing up lately". A man never needs to talk... unless he caught some dicease while out finish, I know it happened to me once.
3. Make sure you always get the last word in any discussion... it's simple... just say "Yes dear"
Other then that, just enjoy your life and have fun. :-)
Ok, I'm bored... what can I do at work to make the time pass?
1. shape my earwax to funny figures
2. see how much coffe I can drink before my eyes start to flicker
3. make paperplanes and do windtunneltest in front off the AC
4. enjoy a long spiritual conversation with myself
5. make prank calls to 911
6. write in this blog
7. try and catch a fly with 2 pencils, like Daniel-san in Karate kid
8............. BORING
ohwell, I'll be back later.

Well apart from being flipped off by angry american drivers and paying $1.07 at the dollar store , im finding these lands most enjoyable. ( 2out of the 3 times of being flipped off was down to the wifes driving ;) )
Here is a little notice we didnt pick up on whilst buying said purchases
"This product contains chemicals known to the state of California to cause cancer and birth defects etc etc.... " It is just good we dont live in california now right ?
And yes we are that poor we need to shop at the dollar store already..
So no high rolling vegas style craziness really , Just chilling with the wife who has bought bacardi rum tonight to drink and is making me a rum and coke as we speak,, well... i type should be the correct way of ranting .... So expect more drunkeness later maybe. I do plan on sharing my theory on Blackjack which is sure to work . As poker isnt going so hot, even though i managed to enter a freeroll texas holdem no limit holdem satelite ( which means anyone with a pc can enter ) and finished 80th out of .......................... drum roll please ....................... 12,000 .... yep............................................................. twelve thousand entrants.....
*pat on back * seeing as these tourneys run every day on pokerstars.com and it is just a ticket into the REAL cash tourney which is this weekend.... hopefully i'll finish better then the last time i was there..
Anyway enough rantings from this side of the pond , glad to have you guys along for the ride.

suckiest job in the world
(I will not use the word ass in this text)
I have a dog, lets call him Nuts, like any other dog he eats dogfood. Lets just say that contense is something we don't wanna know, at least not me, if you want know just look a can in the store next time you're there. Now on to the reflection, I was reading on the can and happened to notice a tiny little text that made me really scared, now you better hold on to something.
It said... in capital letters... "NOT TESTED ON ANIMALS"
Somewhere out in the world there is a person that has to have the worst job in the world and that person is NOT going home hungry.
If you carefully read the labels on some usual products in the home you can find the most funny little texts, a friend bought a rectal thermometer (see there, I didn't write ass, told you so) for his son and happened to find a text that said... "Each thermometer of the "brand" goes trough a precise testing on every aspect of using"
Have they tried it? Does a person sit in the factory and randomly test them by putting them up... ????? It scared me, I promise it did... And somewhere deep inside me I just felt happy, my job doesn't suck that bad when you compare to these individuals.
So when you have a bad day at work, rememeber that you don't have to eat dogfood or slide a thermometer up your...

Matt is in da house!
What has he done? Invited me to this, he's looking to have this blog filled with drunken ranting and strange theories.
Not to mention typos and bad english, if you start complaining I'm afraid that I have to ask you to type something in my lingo so I can get to laugh at you.
What now... dunno what to say atm, after all it's 4.16am where I'm sitting and I just got up. I'll be back later with an update.
