Ive had my last pizza for this year. Yeah, no more Texas Barbecue, no more garlic sauce, no dipping chicken - I'm over it all. Had one last night and I realised that it's not good. So I'm pretty ok with that in the same way David was told by God to cut his baby in two, that sort of ok.

I watched some funny YouTube videos this week, had me in hysterics. Humans are dumb and we know it - we know it more when we voice over animals and we realise we're a silly but special life form.

Couldn't open an cash ISA last week because I sent my passport to the DVLA but in a random and seemingly frustratingly series of events, I found copies of it which I thought I hadn't got. Thankfully for my unrelated frustration - it lead me to jubilation. Funny how that works. Just goes to show, if you just take everything as it comes and are open to it, you might discover something, kinda like be a scientist waiting for a major breakthrough. Strange analogy but there you go.

Been taking my iPad to work and been loving it - team meetings are way more fun, turn the sound off and you can get in at least 30mins of gaming before people realise that you're expressions don't seem to fit the meeting on User Interface and User experience improvements. That day actually I woke up feeling tired because I went to bed late and because of this I was frustrated(much like me finding my passport copies- sorta the same scenario ) and I could feel myself being edgy, feeling impatient stuff like that but the good thing was that I knew it and could manage it...I felt like I was micromanaging myself. That's not a good day: managing yourself.

Note to myself. Turn off phone a hour before bed to prevent anything/anyone from preventing you going to bed. again, a strange quirky realisation. Maybe in learning.

It's getting real nice weather wise, winter is on its way out and I say outside with the guys yesterday in the sunshine. We solved the problems of the world in 30 minutes. It's funny how you know that you're 25 and that you don't want to do that forever - sitting in the city, in the sun around people is fun, even now but I can see myself wanting to be in open spaces in the coming years...less artificial.

Need to run more, the evening sunlight makes me sluggish, sleepy and lethargic but I'll soon kick out of it! My running partner is out of commission so I'll have to do some solo running for a while. I consider the last week rest. Rest is good. But gonna start pumping it up.

Provisional license should being arriving in the next couple is days...Ive been thinking to do my drivers license for both cars and motorcycles but I may not actually buy one but then again, I might - very undecided about gas fuel emissions and the congestion of cars on the road, however want to use it to travel. heyho - see how that goes .

It's Friday, I've just had 2 beers with work people to commemorate the moving on of a colleague. Made me think a bit about how Life, ironically. I guess sometimes its just time to throw the towel in and let the experiance of the last couple of years percolate. I'm not sure the familiarity of this is encouraging or not. I imagine it is.

I was thinking as I walked back from the pub about the principles that surely every man must define for themselves as the cornerstones to their actions, character and way of life. I guess the pub made me realise that it is a generalisation of how society thinks they should socialise - and how it's not my preference. This makes me think that I should define my preferences in life. Not only that, but everything else that comes across in life - everything can be analysed for its merits agains ones core principles. Do people do that?

Heading back home now. Weekend.

Drinking beer makes me tired.What's the meaning of life anyway?

Well it's back to work today. I've got my new boots on and they're pretty ok today - had to plaster up my heels and now they are good to go now. Also brought a container of whey protein in, also my shaker just so I can recover quicker from my runs. I got another container at home so if I drink before my run and then after, that should be pretty good. Packed my running shoes, running watch and shirt so I've had to up the size of my back pack. Hope it runs ok.(no waist straps)

So Monday, today marks my first run since my last 10km run. I've planned in 3 runs in a week with a possibility of another one with Saturday's or even Sundays for gym - to work my body like abs, shoulders, biceps etc.. It's a really good thing is running - so good for me.

I normally have a presentation I do on a Monday but come last Friday I realised that I'd probably have to prepare on a Sunday - wasn't having any of that, so I moved it on Friday. So I've got a fairly chilled out day. One of the consequences of the bigger pack with me today, is that I fitted my iPad in, so I'm going to aim to lounge about reading(ahem, researching).

Had a strange dream that I should add railway extensions to my apartment. Dunno but I had this notion that my place was a railway station but it needed to grow bigger, thus the extensions. Quirky.

I also had a dream or rather a thought, which might have been part of the dream or not, I'm not sure now. Anyway, so the thought was that London, the city, was a harvester - you know, the machine - and people were harvested by it every day or something...I know pretty strange. So yeah, there's that.

I'm real happy that I had a rest from work, for a while there I thought that I was going to burst. Also, I need to take more breaks, I don't do that nearly enough. I need to walk around more. It can't be all that good sitting so much. You think about it and it's like 25 hours or more a week that you sit, especially if you write software like me.

Need breakfast.

I've been in leave for the last 3 days now and how god it has been for my soul. I went to the theatre and watched South Pacific, the musical and that was pretty awesome. I guess, it's the realness of it all that's so appealing. I felt like I was in a cave, but far from it, it was a glorious auditorium with a fantastic view just above the stage. Seeing the live orchestra was the eye-opener - this is really all real, live and dynamic. I mused while leaving the theatre in the night, while the grandness was fading into the city night lights...you really have to suck the marrow out of life! You need to live your life your way, the way that makes you happy - 20 seconds of bravery every once and a whole will open your mind and you'll be happy. That's kinda how I felt when I booked the ticket, It was new to me, I'd go alone and I was kinda thinking "na, just leave it" but you can't do that - so I do it and it was brilliant. South Pacific was the production and all I remember is "Balli hai" theme song...wonderful musical. I will be doing that again.

I also went to the DVLA and applied for a provisional license. Pretty much just gave into it - they'll be sending my passport off. That's ok - 20 seconds of intense, blinding bravery. Now I'm listening to Phill Collins' In The Air Tonight, and just thinking how good I feel about just these 2 things. Got a special delivery envelope at the post office and hopefully my passport finds its way back to me.

Applied for a Fixed rate cash ISA today, this will be the start of a vehicle for my savings...oh and I get a pretty good rate and the rate ain't looking like its going anywhere so I'm pretty decided. That also a good thing I did this week. I count 3 things.Oh so that's not all, I got a new XBox game, sequel to my fav : The Darkness 2. Frikken awesome! I've been going to bed fairly early an consistently so that's also good and I've rested real good in terms of running. I've not done any but nearly did today but thought better of it. Had a superb lunch yesterday...what was it ? oh yes - blueberry and banana smoothie, spaghetti bolegnase. For dinner I had pizza - not good but I'm fine with it. It's been a pretty freaking great 3 days off, man!

Just too the rubbish out, got a load in the washing machine, so things are tidying themselves up nicely. Speakin of washing machines, I visited mine in secure storage in Earlsfield...need to get that home. That's another thing I did - that's about 5 things im happy about. It's funny, I felt like a secret agent having a secure storage room...you get in a lift, really old school - two sliding sorta scaffolding gates you gotta pull to close the lift and then you go up, walk through a maze of rooms and finally find your locker...super covert!

Played guitar a bit. if I could sound like Muse's Knights Of Cydonia, I'd be a happy man. Last night I was reading up on a technology called NHibernate which is a entity framework...looks pretty interesting.

Tomorrow... I don't know but it's gonna be great!
