Wow, I've been incredibly lazy keeping this blog up to date, haven't I? But then... what's new? It's kinda shameful, though, as good things have been happening to me lately.
First and foremost, I have a girlfriend now - Joanne, who I know from way back in school. We've been going out since late August, (not long after my last entry here, in fact), and things are going awesomely to say the least. Good stuff all round.
What else? Jeebus, where to start? Well, I've been neglecting my photography of late. Really should start taking more photos again. Ooh, talking of photos, I won a local photography competition! My prize was tickets to Warwick Castle, which I have yet to use - looking forward to that!
Crikey, I don't know what else to talk about. Hrm, maybe more will come to me later. Maybe I'll update this more often and I won't have brain farts like this. Maybe pigs will fly :)

Wow, last Monday I turned 30. Strange - I don't feel any different. My life's been a bit of a rollercoaster since I last wrote on here. Lots has changed. The biggest thing happened back at the end of May when Lani dropped the bomb on me that she thought we should split. Well I say that, but to be honest I knew something was going wrong between us but I just didn't want to admit it.
I spent the following few weeks desperately trying to cling on and somehow find a way to try again. Then I found out that Lani was planning to get back with one of her exes... then a few weeks later she moved all the way to Indiana to be with him. It didn't take her long to get over me, eh? Talk about a kick in the bollocks, but at least I finally know where I stand.
I'm pretty suprised just how much it effected me. I also hate the clingy, pathetic side of me which came out during those weeks. I was grabbing on to what we had so much that I kinda lost track of what I was fighting for.
Oh well, it was always going to be the longest of shots what with the distance between us. Once I had things spelled out to me I could get some closure and start to move on, which is what I'm busy doing now ;)
What else has occurred? Hrmm... well my weight-loss is a bit up and down. I'm down to around 14st. these days, although I haven't really been trying all that hard lately. I think it's about time I got back on the serious diet and started doing regular excercise once more! I've been sloppy lately and it just won't do!
Oh, I've decided to get a tattoo! My original plan was to get it done while I was off last week for my birthday but that fell through. I'm now looking at getting it done at one of the local tattoo parlours one weekend soon. I know pretty much exactly what I want and it's going to be awesome! Watch this space...
My birthday this year was pretty damn awesome! It started on the Friday at work with far too many drinks. I don't remember getting home, but apparently my keys wouldn't work so I had to go and stay at my Dad's for the night. Yeah, I don't know either. The following Sunday I had a joint celebration with my good friend Kelly as it's her 30th soon, too. We had a BBQ in the afternoon followed by many drinks in town. It was one of the best nights out I've had in ages. Really good laugh.
The following Sunday was for family. We had another BBQ and I got to open all my goodies. I did particularly well this year! Mel and Dad got me a ton of really good camera equipment. I was actually a little overwhelmed with how much they got for me!
Matty bought me Guitar Hero World Tour for my Wii, with a solo guitar controller. Oh my god, I never realised just how addictive GH is! I can really see why it's so popular.
Other gifts included series 2 and 3 of House MD, (which I'm totally hooked on), courtesy of B, a handcrafted coffee mug from Nicky and Emma, a subscription to Top Gear magazine, (so kick-ass), from my dear friend Jo and even more camera equipment from the guys at work! Phew.
My sleep's been terrible lately, (even by my standards), so I'm going to give up writing now and go to bed. I would make some lame promise to update this thingy more regularly, but I know that's unlikely ;)
Laters, taters!
