Well lets just say by not blogging for six months I haven't exactly helped that dream along.
So to get to the point, there have been some key landmarks in my life that I personally believe are relatively noteworthy, just to bring us all up to speed with what the hell is going on.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Me as a person: I think I'm pretty much still the same, but then again I would. I think my beard is starting to get a bit better as well, and I have experimented with long hair again. Since this picture I have compromised and cut it back halfway. We'll see what happens.
Social life: Well, I am single. I have been for some time and I think I have got used to it. It was difficult at first and I made a few mistakes here and there but now I'm settled. I spend a lot more time in the pub now I think, not just for drinking, a lot of hanging out takes place. I still have friends, and things are pretty slick. Here is some of us during new years eve. Cops and Robbers (and milkmen... COLIN).
Work: I have finally left McDonald's and turned my back on the clown that was running my life. Not the manager, I meant Ronald McDonald. As of just yesterday, I now work in the vigilance! The vigilance, for those who aren't aware, is the Brixham branch of Wetherspoons. Lovely pub.
News: There have been a whole bunch of scandals with various football players, but there always are, so who really cares. Osama bin Laden was found and shot dead by American forces earlier this year. Prince William and Kate Middleton wed earlier this year as well. The Libyan government is in upheaval and Colonel Gaddafi is still being a dick it seems. There was a huge Earthquake and tsunami in Japan which killed lots of people, and there was a big earthquake in new zealand. UK and American troops are still in Afghanistan. Oh and the Go compare guy is STILL HERE and STILL ANNOYING, as well as the damn insurance meerkats that everyone just loves. (not me. ... simples. bah.)
The Band: Ricky and the Pigeons is still going strong, and I don't believe I mentioned we have a new arrival... George White on drums, everyone. Round of applause. We are no longer with "wasteman Dave" our previous "manager" because he was doing nothing to help the cause. However, we will be recording soon with a new guy, so stay tuned. We are starting to sound amazing now and I hope we go far. There are loads of people wanting to book us back in the local area, the gigs are just rolling in. We have new songs, such as Taxicab and Go Crazy, just to name a few. So yeah, WE STILL ROCK.
Running: I have been training very hard and I am pleased to say I am well and truly "back into it". I did my first competetive 10k in over a year last month, coming in 4th place out of 200 runners, beating every runner from South Devon Athletic club. I owe a lot of this to Les Golder, who was my ex primary school teacher and now running advisor. He is very experienced and also a good friend, so I am looking forward to keeping this up. I have been training about 5 days a week covering about 30 miles on average per week.
Pokemon: The release of Pokemon Black and White was a total success. The game is awesome. Thumbs up.
Education: Well, I can confirm I will be attending Reading University to study primary education with art specialism. And I have also finally sorted out my student finance after a lot of bother and umbrage. I start in October, and provided his results all turn out ok, Big G will be coming as well to do chemistry with forensics! I think the start of this academic year is gonna be sweeeeeet.

That is all, apologies for the huge post, but with 6 months of inactivity it makes logical sense to do it this way. Also take note that my other blog "What Ale?" is back up and running as well. Find the link in the sidebar.
'Til next post.
