Famous Last words...

I quote from my last blog entry

'I will likely write a few more posts within the week'

4 years later.....

Damn 4 years, I'm not even gonna comment on the length between my posts, just look at my last post and times that by 4 years.

Its funny reading over my old posts and just thinking how have I changed over the last 4 years. Little things amuse me about the old posts like how I ended each one with chio (I think it was a phase I was going through), and that shinny new computer is a knackered piece of junk now in much need of upgrading/ replacement (I'm currently living in constant fear that my power supply is about to blow and fuse all the circuits on my mother board, the noises it makes are some what disturbing).

Lampeter got broadband in the end, probably about a year after my last post and I never bothered getting dial up, I figured it wasn't worth. I also find it funny that I mentioned the problem of household politics in sorting out the internet, cos these days I live by myself and like having not to deal with that sort of stuff, the freedom it provides outweighs the expensive rent and the occassional lonliness I feel living alone.

I mentioned in my last post also that I had defered from my degree studies. Well since then I defered a second time switched from the four year to the three year course, completed the third year and then, while only a heartbeat away from finishing made the stupid decision to switch back to the four year course, and well the less said about that the better. Although this little saga may be coming to a happy end but I wont count my chickens by talking about it yet.

Anyway I got fed up with the whole thing, acedemia just isn't my cup of tea I think, not that tea is my cup of tea anyway. So I got myself a job, I much prefer having something more active to put myself into. I'll probably save talking about my job in great detail for another post as thats a can of worms discussion if ever I heard one.

Anyway, I havn't been up long (got a couple weeks off work incase you were wondering why I'm not there in the middle of the afternoon) and got stuff I need to do. I Wont say I'll write again soon as I'll only regret that comment in 2012.

Anyway Chio......Shit.....errr.....bye

'This is your life and its ending one minute at a time'

Woah!! That took a hell of a lot longer than I expected. I know I said I may take a while to get internet access sorted, this has turned out to be a bit rediculous. Perhaps now it is time to explain my situation and my apparent lack of commitment.

I mentioned before that my access to university computers had been taken away. This was not due to downloading porn or any other such disaprovable activities, it was simply due to the fact that I took the decission to defer from my Philosophy degree and repeat my third year in the following academic year. Thus during this time of absence (although it must be pointed out that during this time I did not move anywhere and firmly stayed put) I have not officially been regarded as a student although I am as much a student as anyone could be in mind and lifestyle. As such the university are being tight bastards and not letting me use their computers!!

However, there is good news for I am a step closer to my goal of having regular internet access. I now have a shiny brand new computer all of my own, and indeed have done since a week or two after my last post.Wahoo!! Unfortunately I made the fools mistake in not getting a modem in the hopes of a speedy setup of broadband in my area. This has not been forthcoming ang I no longer trust those who claim that we shall have broadband soon. I am still hopeful that we will get it soon but I have decided that I can wait no longer and will soon setup basic internet capabilities asap. However, household politics may come to interfere with this master plan grrr. But never mind, by the end of September I shall once again be a registered student and have access to the universities computers, although internet from the comfort of my own bedroom would obviously be far preferable.

In any case I apologise for the delay in writing my second post. Though as far as I can tell no one has even read the first, although I don't actually know if there is anyway of knowing. I will likely write a few more posts within the week, hopefully on topics more interesting than simply my in ability to write posts, but then there will likely be another blank spell.

Until then chio

Wow! my very own blog. Its been a year since I first discovered its existence when my friend introduced me to his (susurration.blogspot.com). At the time I thought it would be a good idea to start my own and so enthusiastically I clicked on the start your own blog link. And there I stumbled upon the first hurdle. A name!! I suppose any old name could do, it was hardly the point afterall, but then I thought wait this name will be the first thing people see and it will be with me till the end of my blogging days. So I took time to ponder this dilemma. In fact I took a lot of time. To be fare it hasn't taken me a year to come up with a name, but it did get to the stage were I forgot about it, and only now did I have the renewed determination to start up this blog. And it really didn't take long actually, although it doesn't take very long when you just nick the song title from one of your favourite bands. Anyhow the job is done and as you can plainly see I have started my blog.

Why have I started a blog, and what do I think I can contribute to your intellectual thoughts?? Probably not a lot, to be honest, but then again maybe lots. This to me is merely away of writing down my thoughts and they shall often be random and most likely conflicting. It will be interesting to see what interest others may derive from these pages, but the main reason for doing this is just for myself, as I say somewhere I can express my thoughts and at this stage Im not sure if I shall actively publicise this page, maybe not even to my friends, but we shall see.

Hopefully I shall begin in proper soon, but unfortunately I have picked a time to start my blog where I may soon have little access to the internet (typically well timed on my part). I am moving back to university tomorrow where I have no computer of my own (yet) and where my access to uni computers has been taken away (a story perhaps for another time). There are ways of getting round this however, and I shall endeavour to do so. But I shall leave it at that for now.

(PS I apologise in advance for any ridiculous spelling and grammatical errors, I write as I think and rarely check my work and so I apologise now for any confusions that may amount, chio)
