Ups and Downs

Going to start with the ups and try to keep them more prominent :)

First off, Halloween is tomorrow, well kind of now..

I love halloween and will probably be watching some movies and pigging out!

Was hoping to hold our third Dungeons and Dragons game today but looks extremely unlucky now :(

But.. me and my little cousins were making some halloween cakes, and i thought i'd share them :lol:

God damn it, i'm on my girlfriends laptop.. i shall see if i can get mine on later to upload the picture!

-

That is another thing, my charger was working now and then, and because i needed it for some work with CWM, where i'm doing a few days, i kept it.. but now has packed in completely

So will probably be off completely for while, unless Natalie is kind enough to let me use hers again :)

-

And finally what is really getting my down a little recently is work, or the lack of it..

I'm currently job hunting and just can't get any call backs, or ones offering jobs anyway. Been about.. 6 months now without proper work.

Was working for CWM, in media, for part of it.. It's what i want to do but was a work boost, to keep me in work for a while

Just really need to find something, family struggles a little with money and it's just demotivating me and getting me down a little not doing anything, feels a little worthless

-

And to try and finish on a high.. well two.

I've ordered NHL for X360 and Wil Wheatons Just a Geek, which i can't wait to read! So some things to look forward to

-

And a question for some of you..

I live in the UK, have played (xbox) and watched NHL, recaps etc and stats..

But i want to catch things live and get into it a little more, could people suggest a place i could do this(online)?

Appreicate it!

-

So yeah, seems like a few view mood swings reading over that..

But best to write it all down, eh? :P

Hope everyone is happy

Such a pain

My macbook charger is packing in..

Well, it eventually happens to laptops right? Not after 3 months it bloody doesn't :evil:

So i may not be on for a while, at least not much

Kind of need for work etc so i really hope they'll just give me a new one there and then

Rather than sending it off

-

Just quite annoying, because i bought it out of town as well so is a pain to return

/rant :(

Hallows End Adventure: Introduction

This is something i'll be writing here, maybe not for everyone or even anyone, but i'd like to get this down in writing and it might as well be here so people can check it if they want to!

It won't be every blog, just when a game is played, but it will be my D&D group which will be starting up soon!

As of now were playing 4th edition and just making characters etc at the minute. So for now all i'll be filling you in on is what our gorup has, whats planned and when it'll be kicking off.

Once we have started playing, i'll be explaining the story the DM creates and everything that happens through the evening.. Hope you enjoy..

-

So far we have a Eladrin, Human, Elf and a Goliath.

One of us will be playing as a DM when an adventure ends, switching. So i have two others interested and hope they do attend.

Class wise? I'll be playing Artemus, a Eladrin Avenger.

My brother a human barbarian, named Gizmo, against everyones will. My girlfriend is playing a Elf ranger, Kirral. And then my cousin as Shifter Shaman, Grimshaw.

Mainly family that are definitely playing, but still have two friends who should be coming, but have not yet made characters.

-

So yeah, can't say a great deal before we begin playing.. But once we beginning i'll be including the more interesting story etc

But for now, take care all! Anyone else playing D&D 4th edition, would love to hear from you, or people interested.

A new blog!

I'll be posting mainly somewhere else now, if i had anyone reading mine here, or that i chat to on OT

I would love some views and comments.

To be honest right now it's hard to get the word around and i'm just writing for myself and the enjoyment, but a crowd would be nice

If anyone does get a chance to drop by it would be much appreciated! ]

Thanks guys!http://blogcraft.blog.com/

Hope everyone is well and i will know doubt see you around the forums!

Also, a relaxed weekend to say the least, i've managed to watch The Big Lebowski twice..

My best blog

For me this is the most exciting, and maybe interesting, blog i've had in a while..

I've started a new job at CWM Studios, at which i film and edit videos for companies. My job is to basically film sports stars, mainly cricket and darts players, during interviews, but we sometimes advertise for other places so meet some quite big people.. I also then, and mainly edit the footage, which is where i can really apply myself to this job. Also my boss asked me to draw some comic strips up for the website, so i'm working on that at the minute as well.

It's been great so far and yesterday, although filming for 9 odd hours, had a great time filming some interviews with big names in the Darts industry.

I also met the guy who does the voice for the McCoys advert on tv, such a cool voice :lol:

For people not sure which voice, this, at the end..

But yeah, for me it's a dream job.. i can't imagine a huge amount of chances to work in a Media job that is so widely distributed, whether known or not.

-

Related to this, at the end of the month, or ASAP, i'm going to get a Macbook, which i'm really excited about! :D

I'm giving my laptop to my brother and look forward to get back on a Mac!

Down side: Working 9-5 daily Plus side: Lots of money!

-

But yeah work wise everything is great.. Life wise?

I've been enjoying playing quite of bit of sport recenetly, some video games, back onto WoW with some friends..

Been really good to get on, it's been fun to play after putting a guild together and look forward to Cataclysm.

-

Also The Guild season 4 episode 1 released last night! Was great to watch and i'm eagerly awaiting more now! :)

For anyone who hasn't seen check it out

-

Anyways i think that is about it for now.. hope everyone is well, and i hope to start posting here again bit more soon!

Are you ready to rock!?

Ahh, horrible title.. :oops:

I've just ordered in Rock Band and instruments and me and some friends can't wait to play through it :lol:

Really looking forward to it, and am planning to download quite few songs from the online store

Heard about creating your character, which should be fun! And i'll be taking the role of guitarist 8)

-

England are through to the knockout stages! I thought we played well and deserved to get through..

Shame about USA last minute goal putting us second :cry: Gerrard and Terry are a inspiration though, can't wait to see what we can do!

-

Last but not least, at my local blockbusters i purchased a summer card? Which basically cost me £20 (about $40) for 10 free movie or game rentals, and 10% off everything in store, which is great!

I've already rented 3 games, and plan to get a couple more this weekend coming..

Will keep me busy :)

-

Haven't been posting as much as normal, but hey.. it's nice weather!

Anyway that is all for now, enjoy your summer all!

Late nights

I normally get to sleep fairly late, but recently E3 has been keeping me up even later with there live feeds, i live in the UK. Well i've been looking at few games but mainly it's been Star Wars: The Old Republic. Which has yet to be included in the GS show.. Which isn't pleasing :lol:

So i decided to flick over and check other places, already a few gameplay videos and interviews.. :D

..Argh, feel i've wasted some time waiting, although it was great none the less..

Looking forward to final day tomorrow.. Also Marvel vs Capcom 3, thats going to be great..

-

Past few months me and my brother have been having a little competition DVD collection wise.. I've got.. 120-130 at the minute? But he's closing in on 200, no need to say who won that one :lol: But i picked up Donnie Brasco, Once upon a time in Mexico yesterday..

Both great movies and have been looking for them for a while now..

I'm a Depp fan..

-

World cup has had it's ups and downs so far, as usual..

To watch Englands game on Friday im heading down a local park for a hosting of the game.. Going to be good

I still think we're in great contention for winning it and couldn't think of a better man to lead us than Steven Gerrard.

Still not huge fan of Capello..

-

Also i collect film memorobilia or models, sometimes even just childs figures etc (such a grown up ;) huh)

And i fount a Count Dooku lightsaber the other day, had to have it.. :D

A lot of the stuff i have is horror things at the minute such as Leatherface teddy thing? It's hidious.. Evil Dead things, Shaun of the Dead, Matrix.. Nightmare Before Christmas.. And a Chuckie doll from Childs Play, quite a large one :lol:

If anyone's interested i could throw up a picture of some of it in my next blog?

-

It's summer as well so i've been playing football pretty much every day with some friends, just a kick about, normally get into some 3v3s or whatever.. But i'm thinking of joining a local team.. So updates on that soon hopefully, should be good!

-

Also i've always been a huge Marvel fan.. from Tv series to comic books to just about anything..

But i have never been a fan of the movies produced, with exception of a couple..

But i'm going to give Xmen a chance tomorrow, maybe i'll like those.. Just gets me more and more excited about Marvel vs Capcom 3

-

Hope i haven't kept you all to long..

One last thing.. Lord of the Rings Online is going free, so i'm going to be giving that a go as well.. Updates when get to it..

Thanks for reading!

The End

The title of the final Lost episode.. For you of those who haven't seen yet.. skip the pieces in bold/coloured, it wouldn't let me spoiler tag the :x :cry:

:o I loved it! There has been mixed opinions on this finale and the way i've seen it is, for the people who picked up on the persona of Lost, the mystery and battle between faith and religion, will love the ending. Some who found something else from the show will not so much.. But the writers have hit the mark they intended i believe :)

This is what i understood from it, probably not correct, or different ideas but don't ruin my bliss :lol:

  • The black smoke monster was Cerberus, and was MiB soul inside not himself, as he was shown dying.
  • The island was the pathway between the world and hell, acting as a cork. The moment when Desmond removes the cork and the fire is burning in the background, my heart jumped. I was genuinely scared.. It was done so well, and personally i fount that to be masterful
  • They all died at different times, but as purgatory had no time they arrived there together
  • AND.. the fact a lot of smaller mysteries were left open is exactly what Lost stood for. The Mystery. We make what we will from it..

So yeah.. there's a couple of my feelings, there are more but don't want to spend too much time on it, PM and we can talk into detail for anyone that fancied it.. Your feelings all?

-

Couple of days ago it was me and my girlfriends first year together..

It seems like so much longer but i'm glad it's still going so well and looking forward to many more! :D

-

I've started writing my own story, and with the amount of photography i'm doing, i thought i'd try and capture a picture to ideally cover the front of the book..

To be honest what inspired me was Lost, and i've decided on a post apocalyptic kind of story.. some twists.. but you'll see once i'm finished, i'll keep an update in my blogs..

-

England's game against Japan didn't go great did it :lol:

We had a lot of the possesion and again picked up in the second half and made so many chances..

Definitely felt we deserved the win, however we got it :lol:

But i'm still extremely hopeful for us in the World Cup, we haven't had a full first team out yet which we need to decide soon.. So i look forward to seeing us at full strength soon enough..

-

That's pretty much it at the minute..

Oh, and i fount an alternative to Bulmers original.. A summer fruits? Sounds tasty, yet to open..

Anyway, hope everyone is okay!

Really splashing out recently...

I have a new camera!

Haven't thinking about it and talking it through, i've decided to get a camera!

For working reasons, and fun ;)

-

I was told, by a company helping me get back into work, to put together anything i can to help me in my field of work, Media.

So i'm planning on putting together a portfolio.. Photographs, drawing, writings.. anything that could help towards jobs i'm intending on applying for, Magazine etc.

-

But yeah, here it is..

Will be great for capturing some of those summer moments too :D

-

Also my aunty's wedding is next week, really like my uncle so i'm looking forward to that..

And couple family members have asked me to photograph there, so hopefully start of something..

Maybe own photography business? ;)

-

But that is about all at the minute..

I'd love to chat to some people here more, so anyone with MSN or something give me an add..

Wood_wood_d40@hotmail.com

Speak to you all soon :)

Not totally sure what i'm doing..

..making this blog?

Haven't a huge amount to say, although it will probably be spaced in between a great deal of rubbish..

First off, relief..

There has been a lot of rumours about Liverpool's stars leaving this season, but it's been said Benitez is going to keep them here, and i honestly don't think they'd leave anyway.. So.. load of my mind, as we can look forward to signings, this will decide our season right now..

-

Me and few friends are anticipating Red Dead Redemption..

Gathering a posse and runnin' this town.. :roll:

Can't wait for that..

-

My aunty gave me an iPod touch!

16gb.. Haven't a great deal of music on this laptop so i've barely used 1gb of it.. So i'll have to get more on..

Also after watching 500 Days of Summer i learnt Zooey Deschanel, the lead, is in a duo.

They sing folk music and are named 'She & Him'

Such a great duo, and i've got both their albums.. i suggest giving them a listen.. Such a beautiful voice..

One of my favourite's

-

Also music related i've started getting into The Cure quite heavily.. thanks to LJ for that one.. :P

I really like the Album Pornography..

Still got a lot more to listen to..

Anyone else suggest me bands would be great? :D

-

Hope all is okay in your lifes.. over an' out ;)
