Mom's gonna kill me for this one.

A few days ago, maybe a week mom bought some Philadelphia cream cheese. Now I love cheese of all kinds and Philadelphia cheese is right up there. I could eat it all day I really do love cheese so you can imagine when I saw the Philly just how excited I got.

My mothers words were "Do not Eat any of the cheese, it's for your sandwiches for work", And I know she was serious because she was pointing her finger at me when she was saying it.
So she went off to bed and I played on my games for a while, a few hours passed and I was feeling a little peckish. I looked in biscuit box and got a marsbar. I also looked in the fridge and there it was, the Philadelphia cheese. but I remembered my mothers words/warning and I managed to pull my self away.

the next night after mom had gone to bed I got hungry again so I looked in the fridge , and there it was and this time it was open, I couldn't help it I just dipped my finger in there and got a scoop of the cream cheese. it was sooooo good and yummi. but now there is a huge finger shape scoop in the cheese, so I take another scoop, just to try and hide the first one ha ha.

So I go to bed and have sweet dreams and the next night same thing happened I get more cheese and now there is none left and all that remains is the empty carton in the fridge and I know that when my mother finds out she is gonna go crazy. but I just can't help my self when it comes to the philly cheese.

The ones left behind.

The anniversary of the 9/11 was on the TV the other day, I can't believe that ten years has now passed since that dreadful day, and I remember it like it was just last week.


When it came on the news and I saw the first tower with smoke billowing from the mid section. The news reporters saying they thought it was a accident, then the second plane hit and the world new in a instant that it was no accident. I was so upset by what I saw , it was a act of pure evil.

so many people were lost, people who never suspected that that day would be their last, people who were going to go home and eat with their family and loved ones, people who on the whole were good people and were just doing their every day normal things. Those people are forever gone but not forgotten.

when I think of 9/11 I don't just think of the people who's lives were lost, I also think of the people who lost the loved ones. I imagine them seeing on the news the horror and then coming to know that their loved ones wont be coming home again.

I imagine them at first thinking that maybe their loved ones got away ok and that they will be home soon, they wait till their normal time of arriving looking out of the window to see the one they love coming up the drive in the car, but their is just a empty space where they should be, the night goes on and it's at this time when they realise that their loved ones are gone. I can never imagine the sadness and loss felt by those people, to lose the ones they love and never have them to hold again or to see their smiling faces and to hear their voices. I feel the deepest of sorrow for these people and I wish there was something I could do to help them all with their loss. it is these people who I think of the most when I think of 9/11

the ones who were left behind.

Can't beat the classics

I'm sat at the house and I am watching the original Police Academy movie on TV.
I love some of the older movies, the are classics in every way , but some times they try to remake some of them and no matter how good the special effects are and no matter how much money is spent on the remake it will just never beat the original.

a prime example of this is the carry on movies. not every body will know these movies but they are one of the jewels in the crown of comedy movies, they were made in the late sixties and through to the mid eighties. and the line up of stars in the movie was a A list of actresses and actors including , Sid James, Hattie Jacques , Kenneth Williams, and Barbra Windsor. They are all long gone now, but when these people got together in the carry on movies they could make any audience laugh out loud and me and my mother spend many a happy hour watching these movies and I would very highly recommend them to anybody who loves a good comedy.

in the nineties long after the original crew of the carry one movies were dead and gone, they tried to do a remake of one of the movies, Carry on Columbus, it flopped completely I watched it my self and I gave maybe the odd smirk or smile but that was it. and the simple fact of the matter is that the magic that was there when the original crew was alive had gone when they did and just cant be re created.

Some times Classics are better left alone.

Dream

I had a strange dream last night. and seen as I said I would write a post a week I figured I would write about this strange dream.

In my dream I was stood at the edge of a road leading on to a very large suspension bridge I was surrounded by tall buildings, maybe a city and the bridge went over a gap i couldn't see if the gap was the ocean or a canyon, but I think it was the ocean or maybe a lake.

there was lots of cars and traffic on the bridge but it wasn't really moving and I noticed more than anything a bus at the front of the on the bridge but I didn't take notice of the numbers but, the bus was grey and was a single deck bus.

I was looking toward the bridge and I noticed that the suspension cables were giving way and the bridge began to collapse. all the people on the bridge and all the cars and trucks and bikes dropped with the bridge in to the gap the the bridge was going across. I could hear the suspension cables snapping and stretching under the strain and the last thing to drop was the grey bus. a great plume of smoke came from out of the gap that the bridge had crossed. people were screaming in horror apart from one old lady. she was looking and she was laughing.

I woke up at this point.

Strange stuff

Catch up

It's been a while since I have wrote on here, it's not that I have forgotten but I have just been busy working a lot and I haven't really had to much to write about. but I figured I had better write something before I get a writers block and then I will be stuck .


I guess that things seem to have gone crazy in England at the moment with all the riots and stuff. Every body seems to be blaming every body for that, the government is blaming the youth and the youth is blaming the government. but no one is ready to say ok this is wrong so how do we tackle it and resolve the situation in the best interests for every body and as long as the blame is been passed from pillar to post it will continue to be this way. but rioting is a strong sign that things are very wrong somewhere.

Apart from all that, I have been doing my jogging most days and I am almost at my target weight of 13 stone, but one thing I have noticed about loosing weight, those last few pounds are the hardest to get rid of. but I keep my Jogging going and I know those last 3 pounds will soon shed off, but I also think that the next difficult point will be keeping that weight. so many people have said that it is just as hard as the diet it's self.

Work is going very well at the moment and I am saving so I can go and be with my Beautiful Jenn again soon, we both miss each other very much and we get to talk every day which I am very great full. I miss her so much every day and I love her more than any words I can say or type.

Well I needed to start typing on here and I feel slightly better for doing so. when I write at first what starts as a trickle of letters soon become words and the sentences follow. and before I know it I have written a full page of things.

Thanks for reading and from now on I will attempt to write one blog a week at least.

Ryan Dunn

I was shocked to hear that one of the stars of Jackass Ryan Dunn died a few weeks ago. I was in the states at the time when he died and was not aware until a few days after the tragic accident.

Apparently his porch some how went off the road and took a dive in to a ditch at the side of the road. he died almost instantly. For many years he made me laugh with his foolish stunts and tricks on the TV show Jackass.

I guess it hit all his fans the same way, but what really got me annoyed about the whole thing was that apparently for a few days after the accident people where going to the site and trying to scavenge parts of the car or belongings that had fallen out of the car so that they could sell them on Ebay. I just want to say to all you people who are doing that. You are vultures and grave robbers and you should be ashamed of your selves. you have no respect and what you are doing is so very wrong and you have no morals.

Sorry for the rant but I just can't believe we live in a world where people would go so low as to profit from a fellow human beings death like that.

I know I didn't know Ryan Dunn personally but I feel like I did in a way because I watched all the Jackass shows and he was one of my favorites.

Thanks for all the times you made me laugh Ryan Dunn

Our last few days

I am now back in England, I have been here for 11 hours and I have only just finished putting everything away, but I have been missing my Jenn since the second I last saw her.
The two weeks we spent together were amazing and every day was wonderful.

So what did we get up to over the last few days??
Well I will tell you.

We had to go to our favorite restaurant in the world the Kani house, I have never tasted egg fried rice so good in my life and they serve portions that are guaranteed to make you full.

We also went back to the gold mining place and gave the panning another go. while we was there we was also looking for something to buy, and we found it. a necklace for Jennifer, and it was her birth stone and mine combined in one amethyst and citrine. we both felt like fate led us to find it and it will be a reminder of the time in June that we spent in Dahlonega
We also tired a restaurant near Dahlonega and I had a cheese Philly steak sandwich and it was really good.

another first for me was having boiled peanuts. along a road just outside of Daholnega there is a old man who sells them, he is a sweet old man and for just 4 dollars you will get a bag full of hot boiled peanuts and they are really good. if ever you are around Dahlonega seek him out and try his boiled peanuts.


on Sunday I had to go back to England but we had a few hours before I had to be at the airport so we made the most of every minute. we visited the square and ate at the piazza, I had spaghetti and Jenn had pizza .

Eventually we had to go to the airport and I had to leave for England. I really hate having to be away from my Jenn but I know we will be back together soon.


We also saw a few movies while we was there, on Saturday we mainly walked around the square in Dahlonega

Things we have done.

Me and Jenn have had a busy few days having fun. We went to a place called Lake Lanier some where in Buford. Now they said that there could have been storms on the way but me and Jenn risked it anyways. We got there and it was all nice and sunny , we managed to get on two water shoots on a double inflatable dingy thing.

We got to walk along the beach together, it was the first time my feet hand stepped on to a beach in nearly 16 years. To step on to a beach with Jenn made it perfect. we went through a fun house together and around every corner in the fun house we got soaked with water.
We got to the top and there was a water shoot heading to a spiral shoot at the bottom, I wanted to give it a try. Jenn waited for me and I got right to the front of the line and the lady said that she had to close the ride due to the weather.

By this time a storm had developed behind us and there was thunder and lightning, so lightning plus water add people don't equal anything good. Me and Jenn headed for the entrance , along the way we heard that they were going to close the park. We had only been there for twenty minutes and had paid nearly thirty dollars each to get in. They told us that they were going to give refunds to people who had day passes.

We go to the entrance and wait, apparently they had to wait a while to see if the storm passed but I didn't think they would keep us waiting a hour and a half in the thunder storm. people were starting to get annoyed and when they asked all they were getting told is that they were gonna do another weather check soon. so after a long wait a lady came round and handed out a free one day admission for all the people who had a day pass.

I can't say I was overly happy about it because I would have preferred my money back, but they said that they don't give refunds.
Unfortunately I didn't get any pictures there because its all water slides and shoots and my camera doesn't like water.

I have also been helping Jenn move out of her college apartment. She graduated in so she doesn't go to collage anymore but they give people extra time to move there stuff out.

Thanks for reading

Painting, Petting and Guys and Dolls

Over the last two days me and Jennifer have been having lots of fun. We started on Friday by going to the petting zoo in Dahlonega and feeding all the animals there we both love animals very much.

After the petting zoo me and Jenn decided it was time to show our artistic side and do some painting. I painted a Dinosaur and Jenn painted a vase.

After the painting we went to see Guys and Dolls, a musical at the holly theater in Dahlonega.

we have had a busy few days and now I am ready for my bed but thank you for reading our post

We went goldmining

Today me and Jenn decided we would try our hand at gold mining, Well not in the literal sense if the word, but we took a tour of one of the gold mines in Dahlonega, this one was the biggest mine of it's time east of the Mississippi river and there was still gold in there to be found. but we couldn't just go digging in the mines, apparently you needed special permission to be able to do that.


To start the day off me and Jenn went to a restaurant and had a wonderful meal, I had a steak sandwich, usually I'm not one for steak but this was really nice. Jenn had Chicken pot pie and I had to have a taste of that too, just to see how it tasted and that was nice too.
Now at some point in a meal there comes a time when you miss your mouth and a small portion of the food misses and lands on your top, I don't care who you are I bet it has happened to you too. some of the sauce from the sandwich had leaked out the other end and had dripped on to my top, and it was only a small drop no bigger than the size of a pin head, Jenn sees this and gets a napkin dips it in the water and begins to rub the napkin on my top to remove the stain.

I look down expecting to see the small stain gone and it was, but now in it's place was a huge damp spot on my top and Jenn is giggling at me. it looks like I dribbled the entire sandwich down my top.



we got to the gold mine and we purchased a spot on the orange tour group and we were given two silver coins one for me and one for Jenn. The coins would be used later to pay for the gold plates.

We went on the tour guided by a man who told us all the details about how the mines were made and how the gold was found, I was looking around for gold that may have been left behind , but there was none apart from the super small grain of flower size pieces that were stuck in the mountain walls.

The cave system went down to 200 feet at some points , the tour guide turned of the lights to show us how dark it would have been and I couldn't see my own hand in front of my face, he told about how when they would set of dynamite it would some times knock out the lights down there and so some times for hours the miners would have to sit in the darkness.

We got out of the mines and as we got closer to the surface we could feel the heat of the outside hit us. Deep down in the caves it was cool and actually quite nice. but we couldn't stay down there all day.

We got back to the surface and we handed over our silver coins and they gave us a plate each full of sand and mud, we had to use water to wash away the sand and mud to find any gold. after nearly 20 minutes , we both found gold but not even a ounce, in fact not even a quarter of a ounce, so it makes you appreciate just how long you would have to be at it to find and amount of gold that would be worth any real money.

We both had a lot of fun and learned something new at the same time
