When things just work...

Remember that Honda advert? With all the screws and car parts coming together like some crazy Mouse Trap contraption? I loved it because there was so much happening, it was so intricate yet so very elegant and simple. The best things in life appear to have this duality to them. The greatest songs have a supra-conscious effect on you, and yet probably a very simple and effective hook that just sounds good. The most fun in life usually comes from the simplest most playful activities yet we give them the most meaning when we look back at them.

My social life is like this lately. I can see the intricate details behind how everything works, its like seeing the code behind the matrix. I love the detail of it all, yet at the same time my emotional reaction is the real kicker. The FEELING of social ability and fun is one of the greatest things in life. The ability to have people come to you because you are the fun person and they are drawn to you like a magnet is something I didn't always have. I am absolutely reveling in this discovery. Last night was a classic example, me and my man Tom were easily the coolest guys in the place it all seemed too easy. I love being alive, and know everything will fall into place for me.

Repetition

Am I the only person in the world who finds any sort of repetition excruciating? If its copying and pasting, daily tasks, commuting. I know some who find comfort in routine, and for some things a routine is handy but I get bored so easily. I have a consistent urge to be acting in a creative or useful way. If I'm not contributing towards my own or somebody else's future success I feel stagnant. Very irritating. I need a maid, preferably very attractive with a skimpy outfit ;)

Today I've been mostly working on my website project. I noticed a link that was broken across about 15 different files. So after opening them all, changing the link and saving them all... I noticed another broken link! Such is the pain of doing things in notepad...

I'm thinking about hitting huddersfield tonight, preppy style. The preppy thing is working for me again. I go through stages where I want to be smart, then I want to be dressed down. Right now every is starting to dress down for spring summer, so I'm wanting to go smart again. I'm just a rebel without a cause...

I cannot wait for the download festival

The ticket is booked, I'll be buying the tent soon. It's my summer break, with a crapload of my favorite bands.

New blog!

26-04-2006

Hi welcome to my new blog. I finally decided to nestle into this whole blogging thing because I enjoy excreting my stream of thoughts too much to let them pass. This weekend went very VERY well. I showed the boys around Leeds on my own, and things are progressing on that front very well. It's just a matter of confirming closes and not time bridging quite as often as I have been... The preppy thing is working for me latley and I'm encouraged by the response its gotten. My two main side projects are both pretty stalled. PC guy is stalled because Danny is hiding from me. I might just sell the damn idea since it was my idea!

The Self help thing requires a lot of content to be written up and it looks like its going to have to be me that does it. I'm gonna set an ultimatum, until I get some more work done by others I'm not opening anything to do with the business and banks.

Pheonix's test text is absolute genius. It worked a charm, and I intend to try it on more people.

Catchup time

Catchup...

Ok so I've been falling behind on the daily entry thing, this is to make up for that. I'm heading out to leeds tonight to meet absolutley everyone under the sun. It's going to be another legendary CarpePM night, and I feel like there is a lot of success heading my way. I'm in a great mood. It's also a buddies borthday so it will be fun to hang with them, the guy owes me, I GOT HIM LAID! Simply by winging him in once... man... He owes me big time.

#3 Procrastination
	Date Posted: 04-20-2006 at 01:23 PM -
I want to defenstrate my procrastinantion. Help me people. I'm terrible for it, I have a project I'm working on and instead of diving nose first into it and messing with the code I've contented to find a solution and surf for 20 mins. My comprimise is writing in my journal about it. I'm trying to figure out News Rover the newsgroup software, man they could make it a little more user friendly to say the least. I spent £100 on a headset to talk on skype and while I was there I bought the hard drive I've needed for months. I'm beyond skint right now its silly. Some of my money making idea's absolutley have to come through, my career seems faded in the background right now. I'm all about making a success of my life's work. I can't wait for some more movement. I'm dying to get to the chicago bootcamp, but its all money problems stopping me, it's insane. I've felt like I've been on the virge of greatness for so long, others see me as that person. It's time to deliver.

*YAWN* Early

Date Posted: 04-19-2006 at 09:50 AM -

Getting to work early sucks like a dyson in space. I'm not cut out for this early start business, but yet at the same time I get far more done, simply because I get bored of doing nothing after a couple of hours. Look out a Sydlewave! Cat is so darned funky, having msn messages from cool people I've met since entering the community does make the early part of the day start a little better. I had a mini ephiphany yesterday while talking to Mav. It seems that I seem to loose my way, or my commitment mid sarge, ot before the day 2. I need to push for closes with the girls that REALLY matter. Once I have those, work on getting and doing well in a day 2 with them. Most of the time I've been time bridging when I should have been number closing. I did this because I knew I hadn't built enough comfort. Mav sent me a really interesting document on building deeper and wider rapport. Level 1: A2 like story Level 2: Childhood like story, bringing in emotions Level 3: Personal story, show vulnerability Level 4: Blow her mind with your personality depth I'm capeable of all of the above, I just haven't been using much more than Level 1. So attraction was built and I was escalating kino while conversation was pretty much on the same level. Isolating is a requirement too, I need to bounce even in the same venue. Danny was supposed to join me at the gym yesterday, didn't turn up, seems he has made his choice to NOT have an awesome body when he goes to AUS. I was quite disapointed tbh, I could have used the spotter on the bench, I'm doing quite well latley and I don't want to regress at all. Harlequin should be free to work on the new CarpePM site soon, YAY! We're both dying to get to Chi town this June, but finances are making that difficult. Must do more cardio at the gym tonight, no matter how late it makes me, screw those guys, they hardly turn up sometimes, so cardio required, then go nuts on the back and legs. Not sure wether to bother with steph OR clare since they both seem to be all over the place latley, sod them. As for the uni girls that are heading back soon, I might send them a teaser txt, see if anything comes of it. Edit: Sycronicity moment of the day. I just finish that paragraph and a David D email comes through about keeping a woman interested in you.

I'm a little teapot

So I have to start a Journal, I'm forcing myself. I need an outlet for my strem of conciousness because otherwise it would be forever lost. It struck me today that music can have a profound effect on your ability to see the world differently. I often check out my favourite toons while on the commute to Leeds, and find myself at my most inspired in those moments. I fill my calendar with idea's, thoughts and musings. We as a species need to use these moments to our best advantage, when we walk the path of inspiration it is essential we utilize the opportunity. So yeah, sunday night was fun, bouncing around Halifax with fellow Harlequinja's. Shame I couldn't spend more time catching up with some of my local buds, but there will be ample time for that when I'm a millionaire playboy. It's weird being on lots of time bridges at once, I'm spoilt for choice with girls, and they cancel each other out. Its nuts. The 7s are all over me, and the 9s are in the distance shooting IOIs at me. I need a sign that says "shut up and shag me"... heh. Anyhoo, life is good, I can code PHP! WOOO! Go me.
