I've also realised how much my year of entries reminds me of reading Adrian Mole which is utterly depressing. Its like a sad boys romantic failings and amusing quirks. Actually I kinda like that.

So I was posting to a house this morning just before 9am with a recorded package. The front door is made from blurred glass but you can practically see everything. This woman in her 40's comes down the stairs, takes off her dressing gown, bends over and stands stark naked in front of the door while I'm outside for a few minutes before finally redressing and opening the door smiling.
Some people are totally weird!
(I would have enjoyed this was it not for the fact she was old, pretty ugly and didnt have the best body!)
lols.

Went to Manchester last night which was a good do. Dawsons got this really nice flat which everyone that walks down the street can see into and watch him which is a bit weird. He says he gets funny drunks gazing at him, and had a crowd of 20 Glasweigens trying to watch his TV when it was the UEFA Cup final. I couldn't live in the city anyway don't know how he manages it.
Saw Moby acoustically as I managed to blag me, Craig & Taylor free guestlist but he was amazingly piss poor, we left after about 4 songs.
Worst hangover I've ever had at work this morning, head would not stop giving me pains, I should stop the midweek drinking (HA!).
I've been naughty with smokes too and after 2 months without cannabis I've been smoking it again. I don't know what I want to do about it if I do really but I'm not becoming schzoid bedroom bound stoner again, the last 6 months have shown me the way I'd like to think. Who knows. I don't

Lifes awesome. I've detoxed myself the last week (aside from a 100% increase in cigarettes and a 500% increase in alcohol as I never used to drink much) and I feel absolutely fantastic. I've been here many times before so I'm not going to get ahead of myself this time and I'm taking it very seriously.
Been busybusybusy last week to make up for it, organised a night of snooker with some lads on Friday which resulted in a night out at Parish & Revolutions even though I had work the day after. Got legless and was dancing with Liam on our own to some average DJ in Rev's, ran for last bus and ended up chasing 2 teenagers down my road who were shouting abuse at me. Naturally me being a big hard bastard (HA!) they ran away, which is funny. Craig said he heard me shouting down the street, and then stagger through the door only to shout about how good the chocolate cake I was eating was relentlessly before collapsing. I discovered getting up for work at 5am after a night out isn't the best option but is manageable when you have a physical job as you sweat it out. I spent the next day happy as i've ever been screaming along to LCD Soundsystem at the top of my lungs whilst posting around the centre of Kirkburton. People must know I'm mad by now but they still talk to me. Infact some people have said I'm the jolliest postman they've ever known which makes me feel proud. I love my job, this is re-inforced by the horror I felt going back to my old one last week to see people and realising what a good choice it was leaving.
I've lost a shit ton of weight and the trousers I started in don't fit me anymore, I'm in the best shape of my life. I'm also permanently tanned at the moment and feel really good about myself which is awesome. Everything seems to be so good in my life right now, which is why I rarely feel the need to post on here. Its been a year since I moved into this house with the guys now and although we've had a few highs and lows its crazy how my life has changed for the better. The bad times seem so long ago.
I'm also going to Dusseldorf & Berlin with my wee sister in October during half term which will be amazing, and I don't think I could think of a better person to go with. Aidens been a slack cunt lately and doesn't make any effort to be much of a friend for me, ignoring texts and dropping out of anything. Apparantly they're only doing one day of Creamfields which is my festival of choice this year but Taylors girlfriend and her mates are doing the weekend so I'm gonna do it too even if I'm on my own for some of it, I'm learning to meet people just as I did back in the biffy days (which looking back is quite scary as I didn't really know anyone who I was going round the country with apart from msn and forums!) Aidens brother Liam has practically become my best friend now and we've been having a right laugh together, he's a great lad and a good friend.
I've also put my sampler & biffy cd on ebay to get some funds. I really hope Biffy don't see thekidswho and get in a huff about it (especially since I promised them I'd never sell it) because they'll probably definately notice it on there. I hate the music they make now but had the early b-sides on earlier and was singing to every word. It made me feel so happy that I had the times I did and met the people I did, I got all gooey. I even put all my old vinyls on my wall to kinda celebrate it, I even dug up some funny looking Prince & George Clinton vinyls for the wall :D
Something funny Liam showed me when I told him about the biffy CD:
i don't play fussball says:
they had 2 early cd's independantly, one an ep which i have as ben and james from biffys mother sent it me, and the other i need
i don't play fussball says:
and then i have all the music they've released on cd
ben, the man who really loves milk says:
what about vinyl
i don't play fussball says:
and vinyl
ben, the man who really loves milk says:
you'll get tired of biffy in a few years and sell it all
i don't play fussball says:
i have all the vinyl releases
i don't play fussball says:
no i won't!!!
ben, the man who really loves milk says:
*saves that for a few years from now*
Heh, guess he was right in the end.
Apologies for the length, but since I rarely post you've been blessed really haven't you? And London people, I'm re-scheduling Holidays on Tuesday and will let you know the outcome.

God Summers are fricking awesome, this weekend I remembered why I'd been looking forward to the summer so much. Did the beer garden drinking all day and threw a cool as fuck party at mine all night and everyone that came was proper respectful and it was a blast. I did well to maintain a crush i've had for a looong time although I almost blew it, her boyfriend wouldn't have been pleased with me (especially since I already slept with his mum, hah). But yeah what good times, also be nice if women stopped finding me an insanely nice person as I'm not really and it gets in the way of any other thoughts, I need to go around slapping people more.
Work is fucking BLISS in this weather, I'm posting a mega long walk at the moment that covers over 700 hundred houses and is twice as big as some but I cant wait to see my wage packet,, especially since im doing it 6 days a week. My parents house and about another 50 billion people I know are on it too (since its Kirkburton) so I can't stop bumping into people every day.
Now for book (been reading shitloads lately), beer and biff in the bright outdoors, life ain't much better than this.

So thats it yeah, this year is going exactly how I wanted it to. I'm really happy lately, infact REALLY happy. I'm falling asleep at 9 every night as I'm tired but the 6am starts make it that way. Seeing more of Luke, Kirsty, katie & Aiden lately out and making an effort. I can't believe how content I've become. Aidens birthday this weekend, mad pictures to follow

Cities are soulless places what bring out the worst in people. Why would anyone want to live in one?
Starting an outside job when the rain is torrential isn't really on.
Women are a mindfuck, house mates are bastards.
Moving forward takes a lot of effort but its worth it.
Who are your friends?

We threw a party at the house on Saturday for Mellor's Birthday. Was a right bash and good times were had by all. I started mooning people for some reason at 4am which ended up in a half hour long wrestling match at the bottom of the stairs. Someone put a hole in the staircase and I also broke Craigs bed trying to do some move, which is pretty funny. Someone stole whiskey though, and someone else threw up all over my family guy t-shirt which isn't. 2 hour clean ups arent either :(
Life's really good, I have decent friends and I'm gonna miss them at work. Its strange I'm leaving the place thats been my job for almost 4 years especially with the guys there it's almost like leaving school all over again. Can't say I'm not really excited about the new job and making new friends though.
I don't think I post on here as much lately as I'm generally pretty content and I only seem to post on here when somethings the matter. I think thats a general rule. I like quiche/

There's a lot of shit at the moment, and I'm knee deep in it. I'm not making it any easier. I need to wise up, especially about money. I can't live like that forever. I just thank god I'm not like Matty with his 20grand debt or Taylor with 6. I only owe a few hundred, god knows what it'd be like if I had an overdraft or thousands. I doubt I could handle that.

Work has sapped the life out of me dry, last 2 working days had 2 major arguments. Now we're not speaking and I have 4 weeks left of it, its driving me insane. Got really fucked this weekend to try and get away from it and was spent with good friends but it didn't give me what I wanted, infact its made me feel worse in a way and nothing went wrong or anything. I'm skint as hell, frustrated at work and worrying about the new one. Great.

So my job is going to be advertised on Thursday. I'm relieved but also extremely worried. What if there's no other positions at the company? I've got a month to find another job or I'm back at the parents (which granted isn't the worst thing in the world, but its a step backwards and I like living where I do now). I really wouldn't know what work to go for either or what job i can see myself in. I've done so many different things at work that my CV will be brilliant, but it doesn't get me into any roles as such. Its been 3 and a half years and I have a lot of friends. I don't really want that to go (unless I do get a postman job, which doesn't seem likely at the moment). I'm really trying hard to block it out of my head but it's pretty hard, especially at work as my manager is really annoying me with her manner, and the way she apprehends me for mistakes & just in general.
I've also put a lot of weight on over last month, I have to stop eating like a pig which is upsetting as I love eating what I want obviously. But all the pictures of me since christmas make me feel unhappy. I look really different. I need to get into the exercise routine and stop being a lazy fuck.
Got some great stuff planned with friends for next few weekends though. Also got another rave next month with Techno legends Surgeon, Robert Hood, Clark & more with Dave & perhaps Jack & Fran. Will be as fun as Aphex was I hope. I want to attend 6 raves & 2 festivals this year at least. Plus many gig's if I can manage it.
Devin Townsend eases the pain a bit. www.rateyourmusic.com has given me so much good music the last week too, listening to classics I never knew ie. Ganf of Four, The Stooges, Meat Puppets, Dream Theater etc etc. I am such a fucking musical geek it even makes me feel weird I get so into it.

Amsterdam was best holiday I've been on really. Would have been better with more friends but with Katie & Aiden we did just fine. I did everything and saw everything I wanted to and just had an amazing time, I'm hopefully going back again later this year.
New year resolution for 2008 - Start learning to drive and be fairly good/passed by the end of the year. Shouldn't be so hard really.
I want to change as a person more but you can't predict that, I've grown a lot in the last year, shrunk in a few ways I shouldn't but It's all part of learning from your life and evolving.
Now I'm just a bit bothered xmas, nyears and holiday is all done with. I've little money and want something to look forward to which I am plotting for when the money comes in.

Had a really good christmas nothing major but was nice. Feel really fucked off with the world right now though, think its due to the lack of sleep. Amsterdam in 6 days may change that but I'm worried I may feel like a third wheel. I'm a bit sick of being me at the moment and its pretty daft. Oh well.

Tomorrow is the last day of work til the 27th which is awesome. I am also getting this tattoo'ed just below the opposite side of my elbow (above the wrist)
I cannot wait for that.
In other news my confidence has taken a massive dip lately. Why do I find myself so uncomfortable with strangers? especially women, it really fucking irritates me and words cant console me or make me feel better. I thought quitting drugs would but it hasn't. I'm just a loser in that respect. I had oppurtunity's tonight even when christmas shopping and I can't bring myself to do it. I fucking hate that side of me and hate those that can. I don't want to be a man whore I just want a woman to love and that should make me a good guy and a great one to meet but my mind is fucked. The more I focus the more it breaks me up. Enough of that.
Yeah christmas should be good. I'm going to the parents and Kirkburton for a few days to relieve my soul. Christmas party should be good on Saturday. Instead of buying the remainder of xmas pressies tonight I spent £50 on 2 shirts. I've never spent that much on tshirts but I'll look alright, and one of them has ACID in funky colours on which I love so thats something.
Wilco, funny videos and bed shall make my sleepy and slightly spent mind feel better I hope.
