(Picture is courtesy of Chillout Central)Well it has been a while. I can now talk in depth about my struggles with One Man and dispel any theories and rumours about my prolonged web absence. Indeed, I have not blogged properly since May and it is now July. But my reason for such One Man neglect has been purely technological as I exceeded my disc quota and so I was unable to blog until I off loaded some old posts to make way for newer ones. Therefore if you want to look at anything from 2005 I'm afraid for now you are out of luck. I am in talks with our generous sponsor Plasmo to secure some more space for One Man and hopefully a hiatus of this kind will be thing of the past. But anyway, how are you?
I myself am fine. June may seem like a lost month now, but I do remember it very well. Above you will see one delightful image of the hijinx typical during the TTFE Pub Golf outing, where most of us dressed in golfing attire and attempted to complete 18 holes (pubs) each with a fiendish feature - a different alcoholic drink! I played it safe by missing the shots but I still felt the aftermath very clearly in the morning! It was a great night and was enjoyed by all, especially Karl who had to play catch up on the sixth (Gassy Jacks I believe)!! For more pics from the night, check out Dale's site here.
June is more rememberable however for the volunteer work I had been doing at Sustainable Wales in Porthcawl. I have enjoyed my time working for a charity with such a good cause, met some really nice people and I have learnt a lot about how the work in the third sector is carried out. Not only that, it was finally good to be doing something again. As you may have guessed I have had no luck in finding a job - but since last time I posted I have been asked to attend some interviews which is at least a step into the right direction. Next week I have an interview for a student scholarship at Cardiff University through Newport Council in the field of housing, something which does interest me greatly. My fingers are crossed.
Jen and I will also be going to Mexico in September (have I told you that already?) and I am now pretty excited about that. My first transatlantic flight and my first long haul flight all in one! And of course those firsts apply to Jen too! Cant wait!
My title comes from V for Vendetta - my current favourite film. I have watched it several times lately and am hooked. Have watched An Inconvenient Truth again too in sync with the whole Live Earth hysteria (or lack of it or the negative press) and once more it is a thought provoking heart-squeezer. Also Election - another brilliant film. Just got Hundred Reasons' most recent album Kill Your Own - so far not a bad listen. I have also got back into some vintage Offspring too - Ixnay on the Hombre is a brilliant album which I can listen to from start to finish. The new Artic Monkeys album is also predictably pretty good.
Well that's your lot for now - I'm merely waving to you from behind the window in this encounter. Maybe next time I will open my curtains, undo the latches and unleash some proper literary delight into the open sky with my next exciting post. I know that I want to blog about Porthcawl and the new niche market of 5-a-side stadia pretty soon, but for now you'll have to settle for my rather constipated look above. Enjoy!
