Wish I could tell you about all the exciting things I got up to today.. but to be honest it was just another "normal" day. Played more football (soccer) during the day which is always good, even when on the losing team..! Work was as work normally is, never that thrilling but then I'm yet to find a job, does one exist indeed, which approaches being interesting, or dare I say it, fun, for a while.

In the process of getting more photo's of me featured in this blog of mine. Thought I'd open it up to my blog audience and see what kind of photo's you'd like to see (or even not!) of me. Some revealing ones of me are in the pipeline, if thats the right word to use ?! Give me some ideas of what kind of shots i should do ?! Should liven up my blog anyway and stop me mentioning work for a while!

This made me laugh when I went through my email this morning. Thought i'd share it with you, it seems that the petrol prices are affecting everyone!

Hurrah for Red Bull!.. I almost feel awake. Almost went with the 2 cans for $5 offer but decided that one should keep me going long enough.. to get home later at least.

Got to post some more photo's on this site, realise that it's been a bit heavy on text, not heavy going reading i hope, but no pics anyway. Should be putting up some more provocative (had enough trouble spelling it just then..!) photo's soon'ish* (* weather permitting.. say no more for now!).

Is it home time yet ?!

You know you've been looking at a computer screen too long when one (or both) of your eyes have more red in or around them than the real colour of your eyes..! I'm now officially in "Zombie-mode", drifting through the day, tea in one hand (how i wish i liked coffee) and mouse in the other.

Going to discuss a few ideas with a person at lunchtime and hope they forgive me if I look a bit "out of it" and/or not as imaginative as usual!

Note to self, buy can of Red Bull at lunchtime.. in fact.. buy 2 cans of Red Bull at lunchtime !!

Had a rather energetic weekend... played football (soccer) for many hours on the Saturday and surprised myself by managing to keep running until the end. I don't seem to last an half an hour game during the week, but somehow on the weekend I seem to have some extra energy from somewhere (maybe the extra sleep comes in handy ?!).

Went to see a movie too at the weekend, choice wasn't exactly inspiring at the moment, "The Dukes of Hazzard", "Deuce Bigolo European Vacation" and a few kiddy movies. So went and saw "Red Eye", has been out for a while, no major stars in it but a good solid thriller, exciting/eventful and fun to watch, can't ask for anything more than that.

I'm in danger of getting a social life again!..

I guess my constant persistance of looking around for clubs to join/things to do might gradually be paying of ?! Should finally have a game of soccer to go to some weekends, it's on a casual basis which is fine with me as I can never seem to keep up with training twice a week, particulary on a cold night in the middle of winter/spring!

I'm also glad I might end up semi-fit too, don't want to be extremely fit as you always hear of these athletes/players that seem really fit then collapse on a pitch during a game!

Also involved in some new tech community thing, which looks very promising, in charge of an area and now i need some people to help me out with some sub sections, if interested apply within! Will be using my new found journalistic skills (no comments pls :p ) to good effect.

All in all not a bad day, feel totally knackered (tired, for all those not used to the old England lingo) but not long till home time and only one week until a long weekend!!! Might even go to a LAN, will probably get beaten by 15 yr old kids playing Counter Strike Source, but what the hell eh ?!

See, a (semi) positive blog, I am capable of it after all! :)

Jealousy... that's not good is it ?! Seems like with every day that goes by at the moment I'm jealous of somebody else, whether it's the group of work colleagues/friends having lunch together (and it's not even a FRIDAY!.. sarcastic tone on there..), the severely (and i mean severely) tanned girl who came back from holidays, or hell.. even good ol' "ReverendTimothy", where/when was that international presentation thing, damn!

Ahh back in the good old days.. (a few workplaces ago) where a group of us had lunch most days and yep especially on Fridays.. I had all my mates from Uni to hang out with and I knew where the best clubs were to hang out at, or a few of them at least. Then I moved to Adelaide.. just read a survey that Brits are Aussies favourite "foreigner", come on then people.. make me feel welcome ?!, where is the love (cue the Black Eyed Pea's song.. ) ?! :) Ahh maybe it's the time of year, bring on the sun!

On a different and altogether more disturbing subject, just heard that some (crazy) guy has been throwing punches at random women around town, what the hell ?!, what have they done to him, at least he should pick on someone his own size, how about that Sydney Swans player that got let off ?!

Nobody told me it was warm today at lunchtime and I wore a coat, what a fool i felt!

"An Englishman in Adelaide"... sing to the tune of "Englishman in New York".

Maybe its being homesick, or getting old(er) or serious lack of football/soccer (god damn it.. call it football now that it's officially called that here too! - please note "The Advertiser" and while you're at it... pls mention my team occasionally too, they're in the top half u know!! not just Chelski/Man Utd/any team with an Australian football player in it) but I feel as lost as the people in "Lost" the TV programme, ok maybe not quite as bad as that and no scarey monsters around but u get the idea..!

Was asked today if I've been to "Cargo" (club i think), thankfully vaguely remember it being in the West End part of town, otherwise it could have been about Cargo pants for all i'd know. I know more names of Churches here than names of clubs/nights to go to and I'm not even religious...! This past year or so has been about getting a house and to be honest not a hell of a lot else.. My social circle has diminished, friends going interstate etc etc.. but before you bring out the violins for me, I want to do something about it god dammit..! So any suggestions/invites pls pass my way :)

Now you know why I've got so much time to do a blog! :p

City to Bay "Fun" Run... You'll notice that I've put the fun in quotes there, quite how anyone can run that far and on a Sunday morning too, I can't even make it out of bed on a Sunday morning.. but fair play to all those that did and to all the charities that will benefit.

From the above paragraph it probably gives the impression I'm some sort of couch potato, but far from it, like nothing better than a game of soccer/football or tennis, anything with a purpose. Running from one place to another to get a good time doesn't do it for me.... but anyway, back to the TV, watched most of the Crows vs West Coast game, who are the chokers now ?!. Neverless, Crows did do very well to get minor premiers, maybe next year eh chaps ?!

Feel as if I should write more now, maybe apologise for my previous post ?!. Something more graceful next time I think!

F**k, pls excuse my language, but my team has only gone and won again. In fact all my teams I support are winning at the moment. Obviously I don't support the crows, though feel for them, as they really should have done better in the prelimary final today.

I vegged out today, didn't do anything really useful until watching the football (ok soccer i guess you'd still call it..) tonight and I guess you couldn't really classify that as really useful, but still.. entertaining it was, that sounds like Yoda speak, anyway.. think it is almost bedtime. Check clock, yep 2 something am, check, not in the pub, check, ok, time to hit the pillow...

Just remembered about those photo's I was going to display.. just uploaded one, there I've "mooned" everyone :p

Exercise... something that I lack these days. Ideally a club out there somewhere will take me in and allow me to play soccer on a semi-regular basis. Sure I'm interested in other sports too, but soccer abouts the only thing that'll get me doing exercise on a weekly basis. Have thought about joining a gym but think I'd give it up after a couple of weeks. I'm more of a team player, just as happy if the team wins than if I score a goal or not.

So in my efforts to join a team, I've gone to local sports centres, asked around, colleagues, friends, strangers on the street* (well.. almost), put my name down, but have I received a call, an email, anything ?, nope.. Unfortunately I haven't got the school/uni background here in Adelaide, so most of my people I know are from my few years working and a few internet buddies I had before migrating here. So, whats my point?, well I think I lost myself somewhere in that paragraph!.. but anyway, anyone have a soccer team they need an extra player for ?, I'm not bad honest!

Another late night session, messing about with a website i'm working on, not just this blog. Watched a bit of TV tonight, 24 was good, as suspenseful and surprisingly as normal. Glad that it's a bit warmer than it was, didn't much like those freezing nights the last couple of months here.

Been looking through a few Adelaide blogs and it seems that there's a lot of them, most of them very well written, probably better than this one, plus they tend to write more. Though I'm sure I'll write more when I get into things more. Talking of which, still finding my way around this blogging software, not that it's too tricky.

It's Saturday night, Port Adelaide has just lost the Showdown and i'm sitting here typing away setting up this new blog. Probably should be down the pub or something!, then again I was kind of going for Port Adelaide, so it wasn't a result worth celebrating!

Having previously set-up a blog before, kind of as an experiment and discover that really it's too linked with my existing website which is more of a business idea than a personal blog, well.. here is part 2 as such..

It's also a bit different, with my aim of expressing a less conservative side of me, the side that gets up at 7am every morning, goes to work, has lunch, goes back to work and then goes home, 5 days a week, 52 weeks* (allowing for holidays) of a year.

I'll have some more photo's, from a different angle, of different places, things and people and share my inner thoughts, or at least most of them.

This is my blog, "In Another Form", hope you find it interesting..!
