Hello again,
I'm trying to update this more and more regularly and as I said it's becoming increasingly harder to find things to talk about, here it goes.
I am a huge CSI fan, some may say obsessed, I have series 1 - 8a on DVD and I'm waiting for Xmas money to finish off series 8. I also have the first 2 series of CSI Miami and a couple of computer games. truth be told, forensic science is my dream career path, however, the amount of jobs available once you have your degree is extremely limited. It may seem like I'm settling for second best, but anyway i want to be in the police force in some force, be it at PC level or suited CID, that's where I want to be.
However, I think that I am one of the most forward thinking people I know, I have covered my career options with another path going a completely different direction. I as you may know, i can't remembered how much I've said about it, I am a cricket coach, I plan to go as far as I can level wise until I find I'm not good enough. However, I think I'm good enough to go as far as I can in whatever career path I end up taking.
Right this has been a small entry, but as I said, I can't write novels every time.
Video time...It makes me smile every time.
Screw you....(but in the nice way :D)

The Places You Have Come To Fear The Most
Good afternoon blogosphere. I am really starting to get into this lark, I'm going to try and get even more regular. The problem is having stuff to talk about. At the moment I'm in my room at uni, not doing much in between revision sessions wanting time to speed up so I can get these 2 exams out of the way. I could complain all day about the university not listening to what we said in our surveys regarding the exams but hey, why would you want to read that?
Today is a Monday, I've never had a problem with Mondays it's Tuesdays i could never get the hang of. It's a relatively OK day for Preston in the winter, however, I haven't ventured outside yet. All my Christmas shopping has been done already, that's right I'm a guy who actually gets it done early, shock horror. The past few Christmases I've been working, which frankly sucked, I am not even going to bother looking until the new year for a job because i have not had any decent fun before 12 on new years eve either because of my work commitments. So yeah, hopefully a good Christmas/New Year period.
There is one huge thing i am looking forward to when we get holidays. The fact i can go home and that the majority of my friends will be back in town, and that we can muck about playing football until we pass out. I need to play football because I've put on quite a bit of uni weight.
Well in other ways I'm on edge because i have like just over a month until I'm back into club cricket. Don't get me wrong, I love netting with the guys from uni, but I'm just not good enough in comparison to those guys. Don't get me wrong, netting with those guys has improved my game massively, especially the mental aspects of bowling and my variation but i can't hit the damn ball when i'm batting,n ot even in the slower lanes.
For uniersity, I have consistantly said that I'm a bowler and fielder, which is evident, when I go back home however, expecially now I'm going to be playing more second team cricket I can focus on my batting as well. I know that the standard I play back home is nowhere near the standard the majority of the guys from uni play in, so I don't disillusion myself thinking I could play that standard, I couldn't I know this because the amount of mistakes I make is a hell of a lot more than I can afford to make if I played that standard. This looks like I'm beating myself up, hwoever, this is a reality check for people to read this.
Wehn the season starts back home in April, I will be one of the happiest people alive. I live for the sport, so much so that I'm a coach, a district assistant coach, a youth team manager, i will be undergoing another coaching course to upgrade my coaching status and now i'm joint second team vice captain. I remember somebody saying at the club, that I officially have 12 different titles, which i think is impressive.
I have the next 10 songs for the playlist right here.
31. Duckworth Lewis Method - Jiggery Pokery
32. Jason Mraz - I'm Yours
33. Jack's Mannequin - The Mixed Tape
34. 10CC - Dreadlock Holiday
35. Tim Minchin - Not Perfect
36. Newton Faulkner - Dream Catch Me
37. Paolo Nutini - Autumn
38. Jack Johnson - Banana Pancakes
39. Bon Jovi - Wanted Dead Or Alive
40. Dashboard Confessional - Hands Down
I leave you with the obligatory video.

Brick by Boring Brick
Hello good people.
This is my first post for December, seeing that it's just gone the second I should hope so too.So I have some news, some good, some bad. I'm an optimist and I'd prefer to end on the lighter note. My neighbour, Betty Carr, recently died. She was the nicest old lady I've ever met, and I've known her all my life so it was a big shock to get the text message of my mum early today.Rest in Peace Betty.
In better news, I have 3 good things to tell you.
1. I finished my second essay of the semester finally so i only do some revision now.
2. I have finished the next ten songs for my playlist bringing the toal to date to 30, well i have 31 but you'll have to wait until i get to 40 to find out the next song.
3.On Monday I appointed the second team co-vice captain at my cricket club back home. This may sound a little odd, so i'll give you a small brief. Monday was the AGM for Newburgh Cricket Club, each year you have to nominate captains, vice captains and officers in the club for the coming year. I nominated my self to stand for vice captain of the second team, so did my team mate Dave Cookson. All of the other positions at the club were unopposed so just my luck for another person to go for the role I wanted. In all truth me and dave get on really well so we agreed to share the vice captaincy which made the meeting a lot quicker. It still managed to last 3 hours though.
So on to numbers 21 through 30 of my playlist.
21. Faith No More - Epic
22. Blondie - One Way Or Another
23. My Chemical Romance - I'm Not OK(I Promise)
24. Funeral For A Friend - Walk Away
25. Led Zeppelin - Stairway To Heaven
26. Bullet For My Valentine - Hearts Burst Into Fire
27. The Clash - London Calling
28. Elbow - Grounds For Divorce
29. Iron Maiden - Run To The Hills
30. White Lies - Farewell To The Fairground
The you have it.Sneak peek.
