hmm. the day after the day that was the end of another era in my life.
so its sunday and a day to rejoice. god is still being god and hopefully i trusting in him more and more each day.
this year is all about prayer and patience then im really feeling it. let me take you back to yesterday....
well the last few days on the buses have been really quite interesting. yesterday was a great day though. every day ive arrived at work ive not known what i was meant to be doing. honest ive never checked and just turned up. not sure if i would of though if i was doing r or s all day! but yesterday i finished off with a trip to torquay, 2 trips to tiverton and finally a trip to crediton. all amounting to 9 hours 20 minutes. sure we all know it takes less time than that!
then i emptyed my cash tray handed in all my stuff. clothes, bags, modules, fare books, tie! and shirts etc. i walked out with purpose but somewhat wondering what the heck ive done.
you see "this comment has been removed" im sure is part of Gods plan. Who else would offer me a job on the day i was allowed to start on. I told God i would honour a year with Stagecoach and to the very day i hopefully did the best i could. so when i was told about this job with "this comment has been removed" at Christmas my hopes were high. but still honouring i knew i couldnt leave Stagecoach until Sat 25th Feb. so i waited and my patience has been tested...
Tues i had the information i had to fill in, sent it with all the problems there encounted. Thurs i have a phone call asking me to send the security stuff off. Fri a letter arrives telling me i have the job. Phew! Friday night though i have not had anything in the post telling me where to go or what time etc.
So by 7 p.m. when i was handing in my stuff i still had nothing from Touch. A step of faith or pure stupidity. arrival at the party that i was hosting i felt like crap. even my last fag was broken (another sign). ok over the last year ive tried to stop at least 20 times. reverting back to a habbit i started at the age of 9. kinda wished i hadnt. the party was interesting.
we'd warned the neighbours of the noise. they were probably straining their ears to hear any. kinda was a bit flat. i have friends but the only link sometimes is me so its hard to get them to mix unless they dont want to.. the saving grace was dave and emma coming. esp annoying matt and john who were playing the game cube. grr.
so after everyone had left at 11.40. feeling slighty more flat i wanted to party. so comfort food of mr keebab and a game of sticks with shots as a punishment trailed the evening off.. thank you chris and friend (lol im not sure if anyone else knows).
awaking on sunday with a sense of complete doubt. would Touch come through? well better late than ever i got the call at 1130 am. Someone would pick me up at 9 tomorrow morning. yeah.
prayer and patience.. im so on the edge. sometimes its fingertip time...

normally i dont review much beyond maybe a movie or just share a slice of life.. but as ive been to 3 clubs in 2 weekends i thought id give you my honest opion on each. yes i do remember each night ... i think hic.
http://www.q-club.co.uk
So this was a friday night and i turned up at 1030. I was told that actually i would be the first. I think its my age perhaps and not having been to a club for a long time. lol. But when we came back at around 1115 the place was full not heaving. Q Club has door entry of 3 before 11 and after 4. So a price not unaffordable. Inside you get one room set out on 3 levels. the lowest being the dance floor which is the size of 2 large victorian dinning room. Drinks - well a pint was 2.65 not the cheapest ive ever bought. The toilets were clean and smelt fresh and that was half and hour before the end. Im not sure this could really be the hottest venue in town as the amount of people were enough to make it work but not overfult. cant decide if that was good or not. Muscialy up to date with a load of cheese thrown in including "all right now" which even amazed me.
overall a good time. so all clubs are like a meat market but if you go to enjoy and not to pull you dont go home sad. q club seemed to attract some 18/19s and then missing a few hit the 30 mark. But saying that it knows what it is catering for and does what it says.
So another friday night a chance to dance in exmouths newest venue fahrenheit night club (which is a nightmare trying to get the spelling right! where the heck did that h come from!). Anyhow 5 pounds to get in. larger than q club and spread over 2 floors. this is something you notice straight away. fahrenheit has presence. you walk in it feels impressive and new. drinks are cheaper than q club but obviously dearer than a pub. shots are 1.50 and seem to the be the think to sup back. toilets are also clean and smell good. infact the guys toilet downstairs has a man in it and you can freshen up. not a bad idea and gives the club a bit more class. musically a good mix of upto date. a real range of music although maybe nothing too specific but a good spread. you will go and find a nitche of music you will love.
overall a good night out. go upstairs to start with and then hit the main dance floor downstairs. a lot of 18-30's with a fair mix of 30 +. plenty of room in places but still full. it is new and looks great.
well right here should be a picure and a link to "timepiece" http://www.timepiecenightclub.co.uk/ but the link doesnt work and well that nots all...
ok i asked opinion on where to go in exeter. I was told arena was for the kids. and recco was full old people and so i would love timepiece. after reaching the entrance the building rubble encourages u esp next to the open burger bbq. random. inside you can either hit the pub which is full of memorbila from yesteryear. especially on a transport theme. then going up stairs (this complex is complex and huge) costs 5 pounds to get in. unless you know the doorman. this was slightly unreal. climb another set of stairs and you have the main room. it is huge. full of people - mainly men. musically i was guessing its mainly indiee with a large splash of dance, trance and drum and bass. naybe i was tired. but for me. not my scene. however upstairs (oh yes another floor) you have soul music. a guy mixing vinal and providing some of the best soul funk cuts. here i was home. drinks im not sure about but my pint of lime and soda was 70p. whoo hoo. now dont get me started on the toilets. out of the three nights out this was the worst. sick filled the sink and blokes just need to aim better. yuck yuck yuck.
over a large chunk of 18-25's and music that caters for. the group i went with loved it. the dj could mix at times but it was poor to say the least. styles changed like the wind and with no warning. not (for me) a great night out. like the website - it doesnt work
The Big Ending... Id do fahrenheit anytime. but i probably enjoyed q club better. and i would never go to timepiece again.

well great news everyone. (a line from futurama) this comment has been removed. whoo hoo. So cherio Stagecoach Devon it was great. well for a while.
the last year was fantastic with the buses and admittedly i needed it. it brought me back to reality with more than a bump. but it also brought me back in face to face with real people and i realised how out of touch i had actually got.
no morning prayer meetings. no surrounding with christians. no comfort zone.
so not a bad thing.
so watch out the Post Office!! (yeah ali im coming!) lol. So next friday i get a new mobile, and the following monday i get a van delivered to me. yeah. the simple relief that means i only work monday to friday and within 9-5. woo hooo.
praise god for exact timing huh!

why? becuase.... they are blonde
she called me to get my phone number.
she spent 20 minutes looking at the orange juice box because it said "concentrate."
she put lipstick on her forehead because she wanted to make up her mind.
she tried to put M&M's in alphabetical order.
she sent me a fax with a stamp on it.
she tried to drown a fish.
she thought a quarterback was a refund.
she got locked in a grocery store and starved to death.
she tripped over a cordless phone.
she took a ruler to bed to see how long she slept.
she asked for a price check at the Dollar Store.
she studied for a blood test.
she thought Meow Mix was a CD for cats.
when she heard that 90% of all crimes occur around the home, she moved.
when she missed the 44 bus, she took the 22 bus twice instead.
when she took you to the airport and saw a sign that said "Airport Left" she turned around and went home

Happy Valentines Day. you know what i hate this day. i dont hate love i just hate the way its sooo comercialised. the 13th is men surging to the shops just to see if they can get a card or two. 5.40 saw men rushing home with arms of flowers and presents.
you know its probably good to share a bit of love around all year. dont just save it for the clinton card day but find ways of loving all year.
maybe flowers every month
maybe a 10 pound night in (buying food and delights)
take him or her out on orange wednesday.
go for a walk.
talk and no tv
play a board game
write notes to each other.
tell them they are special and give them a hug.
maybe im just cynical as love is not all around..!! (a song for those two young!!)
These were sent to me..
These are entries to a Washington post competition asking for a rhyme with the most romantic first line but the least romantic second line:
Love may be beautiful, love may be bliss
But I only slept with you, because I was p*ssed.
I thought that I could love no other Until,
that is, I met your brother.
Roses are red, violets are blue, sugar is sweet, and so are you.
But the roses are wilting, the violets are dead, the sugar bowl's empty and so is your head.
Of loving beauty you float with grace
If only you could hide your face.
Kind, intelligent, loving and hot
This describes everything you are not.
I want to feel your sweet embrace
But don't take that paper bag off of your face.
I love your smile, your face, and your eyes,
Damn, I'm good at telling lies!
I see your face when I am dreaming.
That's why I always wake up screaming
My love, you take my breath away.
What have you stepped in to smell this way?
My feelings for you no words can tell
Except for maybe "Go To Hell".
What inspired this amorous rhyme?
Two parts vodka, one part lime.
lol

im tired but its all my own fault. one late night + one day out with kids and now im about to go out again this evening.
the q club. hmm what can i say. at one point i felt extremly young but then i realised that all the people their were about my age. so therefore im old. "thats where all the old people go" said Matt Turner. "Well how old is that then Matt??" asked Simon. "Well i used to go there every week in my first year of uni, but then like loads of 25 plus turn up. So we stopped going" replied Matt. "So over 25's are old then" I asked knowingly. "Er no". Because at that point Matt realises he is like over 25. lol. Shocking. A pint is £2.55! no wonder people drink before!
The most embarassing moment however was turning up at 10.30p.m. to discover we were the first! oh dear maybe i am getting old. Also on the music front they played "all right now" by free. oh my word. i knew i was in a different era.
still an ok evening. night clubs really have that meat market moment. sad really. some people were really sad when they left.. me i left tired. must be old..

sunday night and im about to go to bed. yawn. yeah and its 6.30 p.m. so the weekend. friday i had a kiss off a girl on the bus. ok it wasnt as much as a kiss as a peck on the cheek (and no it wasnt my bum cheek). midnight came and i went home.
saturday i did not want to work but i strolled in (as if i had a choice). actually im coming up for a year at work and not a single sick day. infact i deserve a sick day off but i cant bring myself to do it.. lol. still a day of 52 to honiton and then some S's and then another 52 to seaton. yeah and then home. but it was only 1030 and i was still up for partying.. yet my house mates (who are yonger)did not want to go out. not want to party. so i drunk a bottle of wine. grr. hic. snore.
sunday and things seemed to start badly and then i went to budleigh baptist. 1stly they love me. 2ndly i wasnt going to go. 3rdly God turned up. 4thly God moved. 5thly God touched. 6thly Wow.
I had the girls for lunch and then tea. Halfords dont stock 24" Windscreen Wiper Refils. So dont go there. lol
Still waiting on a text, an email and a letter....

ive had a great number of days. dj'd at the marine camp and at the manor hotel in exmouth. Saw Helen twice - Friday and all day Monday. It was so nice to see her. Also saw Bex who is off with YWAM to work in Aus. Caught up with Katy and watched Chris fly his kite.
the computer job is another stage further with my CV going in and a covering letter. but we dont hold our breath.
now the buses have been another thing.. at the mo they are doing my head in. although im laughing quite a bit. me thinks madness is settling in. ahhhhh hic burp scratch.
you probably guess im bored as ive changed the look of the website. just wanted every thing to fill one page. hurrah. well.. maybe just maybe.
