As Promised





A few pictures then from the wonderful world of skiing. Only a few from a whole host of pictures I have taken! 

Skiing today was fun. Me and my brothers got filmed doing lots of jumps and off piste stuff. I have some of them. Also I stacked it big time! I was trying to be too clever and cocky, was fun though!

Legs are killing me now. We have done four days straight skiing and of corse dancing at night!!

Well must run. Only four more days out here :( I think we are only skiing for another two.

O well.

CRUSH...

Not crash like my other post! Crush. I went out last night to a bar called 'Crush'. It was nice to spend some time with people from football away from...football! We was talking about past times in Ibiza Awww the memories. So many quality moments I had forgot about. This morning didn't go to church. I've had a really bad headache since yesterday morning. It has nothing to do with going out last night. Honest. I didn't drink because I drove there. Its kind of better now but not completely gone. 

I need to tell you about the last few days. 

Friday at work I actually did nothing. For real. We had a conference at work most of the day. It was probably the first non-christian conference I have been to. Its very different out there! Before the conference a lot of people dressed themselves in their fake suits so to speak! It was all very fake. Suddenly everyone was very successful and their lives are great! The conference was all about doubling our money by 2010. Most of the world is run by money; I don't want to get into that though! I then got into work at three. Now you CANNOT start work at three on a friday afternoon. So I just played an airplane game until five. (See post below). Youth as well. That was good. God was there and I wanted to go for it. I sort of took over but I did like it. Marky and the band sounded sweet. He is doing some great work there. Mark Goslett Band! Imagine.  

Yesterday was nice. Laid in bed on the maccy until twelve. It was sweeeet :D! Fuusball was good. We won 3-2. I think it was second round of the Kent Cup. Not sure on that one. I played well. Then last night onwards and upwards to 'crush'.

And so today. No church. No lunch. Big headache. The day got better. Cec and sarah came round for "our" church meeting! Then me and Saffa helped Cec move a sofa into her flat. We saw her flat. Its very nice. Then went to my dads for a roast. Played some poker (badly - I lost) and just chilled. And now I am sitting here with saffa, Cec & Lydia. Cec is practicing her lines, ahem not very well, but Lydia is helping. Me and Mark are just sitting here. I think we are about to watch a film. Another early night down the drain. But i would rather spend time with friends and not sleep. Ill suffer every morning at work for them. I love my friends. 

I will post some pics of the above mentioned tomorrow. 

I started this post at 11:00 this morning! Wow.

Crash

Right time to post a little blog. Well it may be little depends how much I go off on one!

Today me and
Claire were officially very late. We got into work at 11:15! Yip. Had a nice little tour around London. A lorry had crashed and overturned on the A2 spilling its diesel and they had to resurface the road and clear it up. It lasted four hours and there was a 12 mile tail back. This resulted in me getting off the coach and walking to the nearest station which was North Greenwich. Me and Claire were on different coaches because I needed to go to work early! Ha. Why is it the one day you get up early, decide to go into work early because you are busy, the accident happens then. Always the way. Anyways me and Claire met up at Canary Wharf. We then carried on with our tour and had to go back out to Stratford and then back into Bank station, and arrived at work 2 and a bit hours late. My manager was really nice actually and we were allowed to put that we got in at 9 on our sheet! Nice.

Claire told me some unfortunate news this morning about some people in church. I had been wondering all weekend actually about what God seems to allow to happen under his
sovereignty. Crash again! On Saturday at my cousins wedding i was bought closer to this fact. Our family have been through a lot in the past and lost a few loved people. One specifically should still be here. My cousin spoke about him and hoped he was smiling from heaven. I'm sure he is. But it doesn't help the people who he has left behind. I still don't understand why God does allow people at a young age to go. My guess is that they are too special that he wants them now! Not sure that is theological! But he certainly was special. This fact amazingly brings me to a place of worship more than anger. If we did know everything then...We would be God. It shows me that God is 'other' than us. It shows me I am a creature and he is the creator. It shows me, even though we don't want it sometimes, that he is in complete control. If God is love and truth then this control must be in acts of love? I don't know. And i find i don't know a lot the more i discover of God. I guess we will be spending eternity finding out more and more about our eternal and endless king. But still trusting in him in situations like what i have just mentioned is very hard. Although vital i believe.

Tonight just chilled out. Did some washing up, bought some 'bits' in Budgies. Then listened to a very good preach by Bill Johnson on my laptop. He has some amazing thoughts sometimes. I had a nice brew too! Praying tomorrow morning, I've got a feeling its going to be a good one. It needs to be anyways.

oops sorry this was a long one :S !

Adios - thanks for sticking with it!

"And all the machines started killing their master"

I could just use lyrics for all my titles! I am running out. This title does fit in. Sort of.

Tonight went to my Nan & Grandads for dinner. Was nice. They like to moan a lot though. About the state of the world now and hows its falling. For a minute I thought i was at a David Ford gig. (HAHAHA). They was also talking about technology and how its moving too fast for them. When i was talking about my laptop being 'wireless' they thought i was talking about the wireless (old radio). It was the big new thing out in "their days". They have only just worked out how put people into their mobile phone book. Texting is beyond them. Bless.

It got me thinking though. How will the world look when im that old. Would the internet have completely taken over. Will people never leave their house? Do you only have friends virtually, and can 'hang out' virtually? Can you go inside a playstation 15 and experience actually being on the pitch in Fifa? What about travel? Is the world even smaller? Will books ceast to exist? And so on. Who knows. Im sure it will look a very different place. A part of me also thinks, however, that this has all got to stop. It can't keep advancing. But i suppose it can. And it probably will. 

We have moved on a lot since the Wireless Radio. Bless them. Again!

Half A Century!

Not cricket. Blogging. This everybody is my 50th post :D Its a good number. Thinking back to my first post, I did wonder what this blagging world was about, and whether i would stick with it, but i have! 50 everyone :D

Yester-ma-day was good. My cousin got married. Was nice a nice wedding, nice reception and Im really pleased for him. Today I have been making a DVD for them both with yesterdays events on them. I met my little cousin (once removed) as well. He's so cute and only 8 months. Lookie:


Yesterday morning went to bluewater, it was very busy. Went with Ran Ran. Bought a bag and vouchers for Simon (my cuz). 

After the Wedding Lydia & Rannon came round and we all had great fun with this Mac. Took loads of wicked pictures. They are so cool. You can see them all here

Lydia was talking about my blog last night! (Some people do read this). She was saying i could post the pictures on there and she wanted me to quote her as saying last night was immense! So lydia what did you think of last night? "I thought it was immense!!" There you go. Nice. 

Im glad people do read this. I still have not read any of my blog back myself. Im waiting and then maybe I will enjoy it more. Or maybe not at all! 

Well Im sorry guys my 50th post wasn't a good one. Not a lot to blag about recently, I haven't had many weird thoughts of late and the world is as it has been for the last week! Who knows maybe during the week something might change. I may even post a random fact again; or random picture OR both. But thats only if you are good. We shall see!

Adios® People...

"Friends like these"

Today was ok. Work was slow. I spent all of lunch looking at tips and tricks for my lappy. I also was on the apple website looking at all the fun downloads! My 'dashboard' is now full of wickass widgets.

Just had some peeps round for some loving. Ally, Claireface, Emma, Ran Ran, Sarah, Amy and Cec!

Ally beat me at Fifa 2-1 in games. I was not bothered which is a bit strange. We had chips, talked lots, laughed a lot, and then all got very tired. The conversations varied from the Coca-Cola trade mark to bad teachers at bird college and also got the latest from all the uni representatives from around the globe. Well Cardiff, Portsmouth and Roehampton.

Went to the pub with my cousin tonight earlier. He is getting married in the morning. Ill post some pics I'm sure. Hopes its a good one for him. 

So yea Wedding tomorrow, nice lay in to look forward to, maybe a visit to bluewater, and in the evening? Who knows? I think i may be doing something with Lydia me thinks. But things always change!

Always a winner...

O something i remembered from last night, I earned myself the easiest tenner i have ever in my life!

I said to my dads wife, i bet you ten pounds i can write down your exact weight. She thought she had won an easy tenner too so took up the bet!

So on my phone (because i had no pen & paper) i typed in the following:



Sorry for the blurriness, it says "YOUR EXACT WEIGHT", there is no way she could argue with that and the nice ten pounds was mine...All mine (muahahaha - evil laugh).

Come on the Chelsea today, prove me wrong.

Happy Sunday.
Adios.

Ooo suit you!

Ive just been to the most upper class restaurant ever! It was about £50 a head, and was quite nice, i do feel sick now though! It was my uncles 50th birthday and my 21st last week so my Grand Rents and Dad and his wife took us out! It always makes me laugh how every time i see my grand rents they think i have changed into some posh, grand rent pet boy and i always manage to disappoint! It makes me laugh how they are so civilised and "proper" and me and my brothers are exactly the opposite, i don't think that will ever change.

This morning went round Tobiwan's for Lord Of the Rings day, i was gutted that yet again i only got to see the first film. I love those films as well. Had lots of tea, and enjoyed a bacon sandwich whilst watching a quality film.

Had football, won 5-2, cup game against a team in the league below. Personally a good game for me and my first proper game as captain (as our main captain was away). Good start!

So that is the end of that, and a busy Saturday!

Peace Out,

Adios, Dave.

Edit: Just to add, I'm not spoilt and ungrateful... i loved the poshness (is that a word) of the meal, however i am the sort of person that would be equally satisfied and love them the same with a KFC and a packet of fruit pastels on the way home!
