When I go up to Stoke-on-trent I always feel refreshed and clean. I think it because I go to a place where I don’t care what people judgements of me are or that I meet people I don’t meet often slash never again. But also when I go up there, I have more thinking space. I sometimes don’t have anyone to chat to, so I have a brainstorm to myself.
As part of one of the many hard thinking sessions I had whilst up in Stoke, I realise that there some things that I used to do no longer fit in with my new lifestyle I now seem to be changing to. My college grades are doing alright but I’m not putting as much effort as I could be putting into it. I realised now that the effort I’m putting in to writing blog posts could be better used with writing essays and the such.
The other thing which I thought about which scared me is that the information I’m handing out on this blog isn’t safe and also means that random people I don’t want anything to be involved with is reading about my life. That isn’t good.
Yet another point is that my mates read this blog which isn’t bad but it has gotten to the point that I can’t mention things as part of a conversation as they already read it on line. I don’t feel secure that people read my life as a book anymore and I want to close that open door.
I don’t know what this means for this blog then. I suppose what this means is that it won’t get regularly updated as it once did. This could also mean that the content may change to something different. I just think that when it gotten to the point where you are upset when you viewership for the day has dropped by one that it isn’t no longer a healthy activity to do.
This blog isn’t all negative though. I changed as a person reflecting on the past and being able to see what I did wrong. It improved my writing skills which has helped with college. If the 2006 posts wasn’t deleted, you would see a very noticeable difference. It has also meant that i was able to tell people things I would of never had the guts to say in real life.
This isn’t the end of the blog. It just the end of what the current content is. I haven’t got the time or effort to be active blogger or webmaster anymore. It doesn’t appeal to me now. I loved blogging and to a point i still do but I don’t love what the current effects of the blog is.
I have travelled up and been in Stoke since Sunday as its half term. Yay!
I supposed to be doing some college work whilst I’m up here but I keep getting distracted by fun things that I can do more easily up here like go shopping or badly doing radio shows. I will live to regret it though when i comes Saturday when I be panicking and rushing work.
The internet in this house is dodgy to say the least, well the wifi is. I went into the control panel but the crappy BT Home Hub is way too simple even in the Advance so I couldn’t do what I wanted to do. Oh well.
I’m writing this blog post on a Mac which is a first. I never been on a modern mac till now and its strange whilst exciting. I’m slowly figuring things out on it and I can see why people are Mac fan boys now. The word press control panel mixes well with the whole Mac look..
I tried to go swimming today however the both times I tired (first alone and second with housemates), they weren’t open. This council sucks at somethings, I slowly love Vale when I’m over here.
I did another gym induction over here so when I visit Stoke I can do gym. Its a good logistic isn’t it. I joined the Keele gym and I’m not use to space as the Abingdon gym uses the most out of the small space it has. This Keele gym also have more modern models of the the equipment. Only fault I have with it is that they lost my form this morning however they let me go in and they found it by the end of the session. Its all good.
Anyway I better get off this Mac before I get addicted to it. I just want to stroke it and admire it.

I don’t like valentines mainly for two reasons. One reason is that I am single and its always been that way for me though I suppose I’m in the early stages with the whole relationships thing. It rubs in your face that you won’t be kissing anybody tonight. The second I just think it a fake day made up as a excuse to go out and I don’t see why you need one. You can have a romantic time at any time of the year and I don’t see why you should be forced into it by the shops on a certain day. But I suppose I’m not that positive because I don’t have a reason myself to be about it.
I went to see Keane last night at The O2 which is in London for the international readers out there. They were fantastic and I had a really enjoyable night out with my family all together for a change. We was intending on getting there by train however we wasn’t sure when the last train was, so we took the Oxford Expresss which a coach that took us to Victoria station. From there we caught various Tube trains to get arrive there. The rest of time there we be posted in a separate post sometime later on when i’m more awake.
This week I will be over at Stoke-on-Trent from tomorrow evening which will be a mini holiday for me. I will be on the student radio, eating out, and doing all kinds of exciting stuff whilst I’m up there. I am taking my laptop with me however the wifi in the house I’m staying at is quite dodgy.
Anyway I need to get my sleep as tomorrow a long long day.
Last night I arrived back from my week trip in Stoke-on-Trent. In this post I shall briefly cover the whole week and compact things down little. It was a fabulous week though and shall come up again another time soon in the future.
On Saturday I arrived late morning and I didn’t do much apart from settling in to the house and stocking up things like bread and butter. I had such a nice breakfast which was a meatball sub from Subway. I enjoyed every bite as I was so hungry. When I arrived at the station, I changed the return ticket to move it a day later and was chuffed that I ordered a 1st class ticket. It costed me a £10 fee.
On Sunday I shoved some newspapers in some of the nearby house and was relived when my sister announced to me that she fed up with that job as it the winter and not as safe or fun as it is in the summer. Some of the places on the route got really steep hills and I do wonder how she hasn’t broken her neck so far.
On Monday I think I just lazed about and watched Saw because it was on television and I just found it was mainly gore. I really liked the concept behind the movie but I would never ever want that to be real life though.I think I would of been really confused about the whole thing if I didn’t look up the movie on wikipedia.
On Tuesday, I went into Keele and went in to the coffee place to meet my sister as she went in by motorbike. She was a tiny bit annoyed to find it was snowing outside because of it but she enjoyed it and proceeded to write a lovely message to her girlfriend which was sweet. I think I dropped into NAGs to see how they were doing but I didn’t notice a tweet to say there wasn’t any room because my small Acer One battery ran out. I also DJed at KRAP. It was very old school as I just shoved my sister cds in a bag and catch the bus as I didn’t have the time to listen some tunes and burn a cd. The stuff you DJ with is quite easy to work.
On Wednesday, I co hosted a show at lunch time on Keele’s student radio station. It was great fun but my finger aked afterwards cause I was forced to be refreshing the messages page cause a fault with the server meant that the station was running on temp server whilst they sort the problem out.
On Thursday, I went to Alton Towers. I shall talk on this futher on another post as it deserves a post for itself.
Then on friday, I went into Hanley. Look around in the shops and found myself a hulk cap that I liked and Much Ado about Nothing on DVD which shall be useful for revising English at home. I was well chuffed by the discount of 50p. Yeah! I can spend this 50p on a chocolate. The train arrived 20 min late in the evening but the 1st class travel was great. they improved muchly since was time I 1st classed it up. They had food I liked for once and I had my money worth of ‘freebies’ they offered.
So yeah. that was my week off spent in Stoke. I enjoyed every second of it but now I got to live with the fact that I got some typing up to do. Oh well.. better get stuck in!
