    7:31 pm
    Sunday night. Reflecting on the week past.
    Its been almost a week since I updated this, so this will be a long-assed entry. :)

    I went shopping on Tuesday of last week, a day after my last journal entry, to the Trafford Centre for some clothes. I got three new pairs of jeans, some FCUK shirts, a baseball cap, a nike hoodie and some McKenzie white trainers. I am still on the lookout for a fleece jacket and some bling-bling though. (as well as some sunglasses) I was happy with what I got and they go well with my highlighted hair.

    On Wednesday and Thursday I did nowt but bum around, work out and organise Friday night with my mate, Karl.

    This Friday ruled. Seriously owned. First thing in the morning I went to IKEA to shop for my new desk, then the afternoon (1pm till 2.30pm) was spent catching up with an old mate from 6th form days. I then prepared for my night on the piss with Karl, Simon, his pregnant girlfriend Kerry, Mark, Amy, Stacey and some other girl. Drinking from 4pm till 3am - I was hammered at Karls flat by 10pm and getting on well with Stacey and Amy - so we all trooped off to the local pub for two hours for a great drinking session. Best part of the night was spent getting to know Stacey. (and agreeing to swap phone numbers, which we forgot to do, and I think she is spoken for) Amy was sitting on my lap as well and didn't object when I put my arm around her on the way back to Karls flat (she even put her arms around my waist - so there MIGHT be the tiniest spark of something happening there) of course she might've just been pissed off her brains like I was! Ended up slurring on the armchair to Karl at 3am and talking about past girlfriends. Fucking great times, all of them.

    Saturday was spent recovering.

    Today I went to the football game. Man City vs Aston Villa. We played shit in the first half and were 1-0 down. The Aston Villa fans were singing "Can we play you every week?". The only players to come out with credit was McMananmen and Sun Jihai. In the second half we scored four goals. Anelka scored a hat-trick and Tarnat scored with a sublime free-kick. We then took the piss out of the Villa fans by singing these following ditties:

    "You're not singing, You're not singing, You're not singing anymore"
    "We can see you sneaking out, we can see you sneaking out"
    "Can we play you every week?"

    There was also some crowd trouble. Some Aston Villa fans tried to attack the city fans, but we have alot of boys and they weren't having it. Great day though. We're 3rd in the league, ahead of Chelski on goal-difference.

    Monday...
    Monday.
    Monday Monday Monday
    Quite possibly the worst day
    In a working week world.

    (But I wouldn't know since I aint had a job since May. :P)

    Yesterday I woke up late again, recovering from Saturdays fun and games. Damn, that was a good day, thinking about it. :P As per any usual Sunday I spent the time lazing around the house watching various dvds, going online and working out downstairs. My sister did 700 sit-ups yesterday. Crazy kid, I consider 200 per day to be bordering on the good, but 700 is insane. Maybe I need to do that in my quest for the ultimate six pack. (Gonna do some exercise when I have finished writing in this journal. :P)

    University is looming large. Still got two weeks to go, plus another week which is an induction to the life of university before lectures start: known as freshers week, it will be a good chance to get bladdered at cheap prices. Can't wait, seriously. I'm planning to exploit my new found confidence gained over the past year or so to make some new mates. The mates I've got currently are salt of the earth, best mates you could wish for, but thats what uni is there for. Making new mates.

    But until then I can chill to the max. I'm going on an all day shopping spree tomorrow with my sister so that I can get a new wardrobe for Uni. I'm going to get lots of flash clothes, some sunglasses and various accesories to make me look deep and mysterious. (And yes, my hotornot rating inspired me to do this :P) A look which will be wasted in my major of computing, home of the binary digit gang. :P I'll post up a fashion parade of my new clothes when I get them tomorrow on TBB, so you all can look forwards to that. :P

    Well, peace out guys and babes. Gonna go to the gym and do some working out. Gotta get that finely honed body for next summers beach posing. ;)

    Finally, a decent satdi!
    Just got back from a class day out.

    I woke up at 11.30am, having arranged to meet my mate at 12, so I had to re-arrange that for 1pm, so with that done I chilled out with my mate at his flat till about 5pm (mainly watching old star-trek videos and playing final fantasy 10 (yawn)) and then we went off to Oldham to watch the England game in the pub. Stayed in Oldham for a few hours after the pub for my mate to catch up with old pals of his and then we went off to macdonalds.

    We had a row with some FUBU wearing net neds about something silly like "hey yo, you be dissing my braces, yo", and then left to go back to Manchester. I got in a few minutes ago fecking starving so I had a nice bowl of cornflakes. :P

    Me and my mate arranged to have a piss-up next friday in his flat, so I'm going to take round some of my DVD's, he is getting the vodka in and I'm taking the coke and dr pepper to make some cocktails. That should be class, we're going to get completely rat-arsed and laugh at eminem being a playah in 8-mile. He said he might be able to pay back the £50 he owns me, even though I forgot all about it, so thats another bonus. :P

    Just checked my hot or not status, looks like I am the man so far. :P

    I'm suprised with that 9.4 I currently have. Thought I'd only get a 7 or something like that.

    Ok, I was slightly pished last night with my first night out in donkeys years. haha, the place was rocking although it aint my scene. I prefer the trance/techno places where you can dance the night away. The club we went to was more of a rock place with plenty of people wearing black shirts devoted to Metallica, silverchain, hatebreed, Slayer etc, not my scene at all. I looked out of place in my jeans and blue t-shirt in the picture above.

    I'm paying for last night I can tell you. My head is throbbing, my gums are a bit swollen from inhaling all the smoke from other people and I smell like an ashtray, haha, but I had fun. :P

    Grrrr...
    OK, I had typed a long entry of what I have been doing the last few days, but silly me clicked on the help FAQ for pictures and lost the bleeding thing. Oh well, I've got time on my hands to re-write what I said. :P

    At the moment, life, if a bit boring (summer is dragging along :D), is fucking amazing. I've had a great time the last two weeks, going to the football and talking to Mandi. Although we have decided to be friends online for the present I think we're definately going to meet up for a holiday somewhere, just to see how it all goes. :) Can't wait for that to happen personally because she is great to talk to and is one of those "untouchable goddesses" you see on the street. (Yeah little ones... she really IS Britney Spears) . :P

    I went for a haircut yesterday. Got my hair highlighted to blonde, so I've now got a combination of brown hair with layers of blonde on top. Makes me look a bit more like I've been in the sun, sun-kissed or whatever. It happened in Malaga when I was on holidays as well, but the weather in the UK is shite and I've lost all that. :( The haircut cost me 22 quid though. Bit steep if you ask me. ;) Oh well, its a new look, considering I've had the same one for three years now. Nice to have a change and all that.

    University is approaching fast. Its two and a half weeks until freshers week, then the lectures start the week after. Can't wait, but I am a bit nervous to say the least. I would say I am shitting bricks, but that aint my style. Going to the Uni open day is a piece of piss compared to last year where I had to travel two thirds of the way to Liverpool on public transport for work when my company had relocated to Warrington. (I used to work five miles from my home, just outside Bennyhill (Benchill) which is the council estate two suburbs down from me. If I can do that I can pretty much walk through the Uni open day without any problems. I aint cocky though, but I know the score.

    If my mates who are reading this can't understand some of this, just AIM me on Benjerino and I will fill you in on the brit slang and what they mean. Alright mates, I'll be signing off now. Much Clown Love and all that shite. :P

    Resuming my poetry.
    I was bored today, so I decided to look back at my life so far and wonder if there was anything I had neglected over the past few years. I remember when I used to do poetry and creative writing as a kid, and I got to wondering how my poems would turn out today.

    So I decided to make one around Mandi, my girlfriend, because at the moment she is the person who I feel most emotion for at this present time - plus it would be a good suprise to mark our one week anniversary. :)

    Well, without further ado, here is the poem. Pretty corny I know. :)

    Just a play on words?
    It’s the internet generation.
    Just another form of love?
    It touches you in your mind, soul and body

    How did this happen?
    After all, we don’t live in the same nation.
    Do you believe in love at first sight?
    What was this then

    When you look at Mars, seeing that wonderous light
    It makes you believe in miracles.
    I sit, looking at this spectacle
    Wishing upon a star, a large one.

    I would want nothing more in this world
    To touch you, hold you in my arms
    But this form of love is hard
    I suppose its our generation.

    Happy first week anniversary, Mandi. Love you lots.
    xxx. :)
    8:56 am
    First entry.
    Just got this live-journal from my girlfriend this morning, bless her cotton socks. :P Her page is at http://www.livejournal.com/users/pepsibabe2003 if you want to see it.

    At the moment its Monday morning. I've still got another three weeks before University starts, which is good because its 21 more days of lie ins, but bad, because I am desperate to get into the uni lifestyle of work hard and play hard. ;)

    Yesterday I went to the Man City vs Arsenal game. It was a 4pm kick-off so before the game I decided to go on the piss in the local pub to get myself in good voice to sing for the lads. But I ended up in quite a drunken state two hours before the game - so it was touch and go if I could be sober enough to get into the ground. :P

    Managed to get in, and what a game it was. We were leading 1-0 after 13 minutes, thanks to an Arsenal defender thinking he was one of our strikers, running with the ball towards his goalkeeper and calmly slotting the ball past the goallie. We went fucking mad. Spent the first half singing ditties such as "Blue Moon" and "Hark at the City sing". :P

    Of course, in the second half we lost 2-1, but there is no shame in losing to one of the best teams the world has ever known like that, especially since they tore us a new arsehole last year, but deserved a draw. Lost the thing due to some diabolical defending by Sun Jihai, and whats with only bringing Berkovic on in the 75th minute. He made us tick last season and should be starting games.

    Other than the game and frequent drinks at the pub I went online, talked to my girlfriend Mandi and her mate, Leon. I wish Mandi was here with me right now. Only thing that sucks about this on-line relationship is that we're so far away (I think its 3000 miles away) so its going to cost alot of cash to fly over next summer. :P

    But other than that, its been a fairly straightforward, if boring day. I think I will head off to town to find some books for University today, or go down to the gym to work on my new weight-lifting regime or I might try and find some programming to learn online. I've been a lazy git this summer and I've forgotten what its like to have a boring job in the middle of bin-dipping land. :P I might also make some preliminary enquiries about going on a booze-cruize holiday to Ibiza next summer. With top clubs/foam parties such as Manumission, Amnesia, Bora-Bora its something I'd like to do. (ever since I saw Kevin and Perry go Large :P) Might have to see how the cash goes and sacrifice the BMW I want to buy in four years.

    Anyways, heres the survey that was on Mandi's page. I'll answer the questions myself since there is fuck-all to do in this part of manchester during the day. (apart from a vandalised park round my way - and they wonder why kids roam the streets causing anarchy. :P) Fireworks day is coming up soon, thats always a laugh. When I was a kid I used to put rockets up car exhausts and blow up engines. Now all the kids around the estates roam the streets throwing fireworks. It can get very annoying, and my sister was nearly hit by one last year. She had gone to the KFC up the road and almost got hit by a rocket on her way back - I was fucking mad. My sister had to stop me marching around the streets trying to find the arseholes who did that. I was a right twat when I was younger and nearly got out of control, but I sorted myself out, thankfully. :) Still game for a laugh nowdays though. ;)
