I wake up, leave the apartment and put my ear phones on while I walk towards the train station listening to one of my favourite playlists. I get to the station, I swipe through the ticket barrier(deeply involved in the music pulsating through my ears). At the platform's edge, I gaze at the advertisements on the opposite side, I ignore the people around me.

The train arrives, I get on - there are no seats available, so I stand, listening to my music - it speaks to me, like a deep conversation with a really interesting person without a face or moving lips. I am, as are many around me, a headphone groovin' slave, commanded by gods of music. For 45 minutes, life halts, engulfed in a state of suspended animation, this jelly medium of uninterested people. My station approaches, I get off and forget everything, faces, sounds - everything as if I was blanking out a particularly bad memory. It falls all behind me as I turn my back to the train a walk out.

I've ignored the world for 45 minutes now, and they've done me the same act. I traverse up the stairs, escalators, ticket barriers that eventually bring me to the light and open air. Refreshed, I move towards the inner city, still listening to the soothing rocking vibes that seem lift me so slightly as I energetically shuffle forward. I get to a building on the road, I gaze up the 30 story sky-scraper, take my earphones out of my ears, regain eye-level view and make my way through to the reception area, before showing my ID and making my way up the escalator and then elevator to my office. As I walk in the door I smile and greet and are greeted as I sit down. I take a deep breath as I lean forward, turn on my monitors and log in, as the last days work floods it's way back into my recollection, I realise. I love my job.

I can't wait to begin again!

Life is what happens while you plan it. Enjoy it now because now disappears tomorrow and tomorrow is the biggest black hole in the universe.

Isle Of Wight I've uploaded photos of my recent trip to the Isle Of Wight. These include me trekking through a forest to get to the ancient Carisbrooke castle, visiting the "Amazon rainforest", seeing lions, tigers and well Lemurs as well as reliving the age of Dinosaurs.

Isle Of Man I've also uploaded my pictures taken while journeying to this island too. This includes a trip down to Port Erin by steam train, going up the 2036FT high snewfall mountain in a open air train via Laxey and traveling by horse drawn trams. View all pictures here

Childhood in pictures I've also included pictures of me growing up and in captioning them have realised how wonderful my childhood was growing up. These include pictures of my as a baby and me growing up.

[dropcap cap="J"]Just thinking, I've never seen the convenience of eating a taco, you know that Mexican wrap thingy which is basically a half complete wrap(not even) where as soon as you bite into the thing, everything falls out, feeding the floor with your food that should be going in your mouth. And another thing, where did the other half go? Seriously its more tacky than taco - the inventor was probably a very slippery and dodgy dude with half a brain which probably accounts for the missing side of a Taco!

The taco is such silly device, as it's designed to hold half your food, it's biased to right handed people and furthermore you can't reliably add two to your lunch box without carnage. Also I don't Like the way it's spelt and move for the motion to have it's name changed to something more reasonable such as 'half holder' or 'moon wrap' or longer version of 'half moon faller' - this way at least you get warning into the unwieldy nature of this apparatus and the considerable turmoil you will have to endure at lunch time, not to mention it's uneconomical food-in-mouth rate. If they(and if I ever find they...) could be so kind as to change these things about the taco on their next food concept design conference, it'd be much appreciated. That's all.

See my angry fist? Grrr!
