Another Year Wiser….?

Jon — Fri, 21 Nov 2008 20:57:20 +0000

So it’s here again, another birthday. 35 years young and still going strong!

People quite often say that kids keep you young, but if I’m honest my 4 year old son Jake and my 2 year old daughter Lily just keep me knackered most of the time! Don’t get me wrong, I love them more than the planet we walk on, but some days I just need a lie in, know what I mean?!

Lucky for me Auntie Helen is taking the little cherubs tomorrow and they’re gonna have a great time with their cousins and the 2 dogs, and the bonus for me and the wifey is that we get some good adult time to go the movies and see that James Bond flick instead of watching Peppa Pig or Dora the Explorer.

More importantly we actually get a lie in on Sunday – Woo Hoo!

As far as another year wiser… Well in the past year I’ve learned that:

No matter how hard you try some people will never be satisfied, you’ve just gotta move on
Some things just aren’t worth getting stressed over, the world still turns
You will get knocked down, you’ve just gotta get back up and fight back
Apple Macs are the future, even though I type this on an Acer Notebook
Coffee is as important as the air I breath
I know I can rely on people as they can rely on me, we just need to realise that trust is harder to earn and easily lost
My wife Ann and my 2 kids Jake & Lily are the only thing that really matters, as long as we’re healthy and happy we have everything we ever need

I saw somebody’s favourite quote the other day on their Facebook profile, it was one from Dr Seuss and I couldn’t agree more…

Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don’t matter and those who matter don’t mind.

Here’s to the next year – Love, Life, Lust – Long May it Reign!

New Theme – Color Paper

So I found this theme on Smashing Magazine’s website. Liked the simple design, and most importantly lack of spam links It’s called Color Paper and is brought to you (and me!) by Free Theme Layouts.

Knowing me I’ll probably switch it in a few weeks once I get bored, and once I can be arsed coding some CSS and PHP to do my own.

Anyways, it’s the look for now!

Update: Theme changed to one called “I Feel Dirty”. A theme I went for more because of the name and not just the fantastic look

So Here It Is…!

OK, so I’ve blogged before but now I’ve decided to take the final ego plunge and buy my domain name. The .com was gone (but not live, how rude!) so I settled for the .org instead.

In this blog you will find my daily spraffings about life in general and stuff I like on the web and out there in the real world. You’ll probably notice me pissing around constantly changing themes as I’m never happy… I’ll probably just end up biting the bullet and desgining my own in the end, just need to find those spare few hours… I think they may be behind the sofa…

If you wanna interact then leave a comment but be nice tho, if youre just gonna be nasty then bog off and save yourself the effort, we’ve both got better things to do than moderate crappy comments and you’re welcome to subscribe to the RSS feed as well.

If you don’t like what I’ve gotta say then please feel free to leave, remember you’re here by choice and no one is forcing you to stay!

I live life the way I want to, speak my mind freely and have a very sarcastic (and somewhat sick) sense of humour. This can offend people, so if you’re easily offended then this blog is probably not the place for you.

OK, now I’ve laid the ground rules for what will be car crash blogging it’s onwards and upwards so they say and I’ll speak to you all soon…
