Transient Big balls...

Does the size of the ball dictate it's potency?

Density surely plays a part as well.

Ball density...



DBZ yall if you haven't seen it then you missed out! This being the interweb if you look it's bound to be sitting there waiting to be watched :-D. My preoccupation with balls is because I now have three balls. Is that too many? Some people would say one is too many. I did think two was enough but now that I have three I reckon I've found my optimum number of balls.


Now for something completely different! It would appear it is time for me to move on. Not set in stone, I think I overuse that phrase! Do I? It would have been much harder to move on from my current state had I not been torn from it for three months. That was of course the time I spent in hospital + the time I was recuperating at home. Having returned to "normal" the decision is made that my routine shall be disrupted.I am used to this though I am usually the one who moves on. From school, uni, work etc. I've been the first to disappear into the ether.

Now in hindsight I was in something of a rut since around June 2013. Stagnation, it's the worst kind of nation. I need something that sets my soul on fire. Seeing as my body is in no fit state, my mind'll have to do. Urgh using the noodle is something I only resort to when all else has failed. All else has failed as my main pivot point is compromised. Maybe not...if I use my mind I should be able to come up with a way to utilise my body bypassing my spine. Yep I am proposing a spinal bypass. Sounds oh so fancy and what not right? Well it would be nothing more than a massive leather belt.

Never worn one of these bad boys, probs why my back is so messed up.
But that'll be once it's all healed and sealed etc. Got distracted for a 3 minutes and 47 seconds, Pass Out rolled round on my pumped playlist. Did I mention I love to dance? Maybe once or twice. If you're wondering who the first nutter on a dance floor at a wedding is, look no further! So how best to use this mass of neurons? I'm a scientist at heart at least that's what came easiest. Numbers, nature, patterns etc. And I find that stuff fascinating but it wouldn't get me out of bed in the morning or keep me up late at night.

The only thing that got me up early is training and the only thing that kept me up late at night is watching stuff on the internet and the obvious of course. So I should be some kind of PT/tv critic? Might as well want to be a rockstar/racing driver/genius. Being one out of three isn't so bad I suppose. Anyone else been considering something when hints present themselves? I'm at my what do I do next point in life and in comes a quote from a mystic. Big old beard, flies around the world, cheated creation and he loves to dance :-D, my kinda mystic.

"Do not do what you like-do what the world needs. Doing what you like is not freedom. 
Likes and dislikes are compulsive. "


Anyone believe in serendipity? The day I find out I'll be moving on I am emailed a job spec for some work that would help be pursue something that I have been considering pursuing. Vague I know but if I get specific we'd be here all day, not the most concise fellow in the world. So this appears to be pointing in the direction I should go. The job lends itself to my strengths but it's the location that makes it so appealing. Then I got another job ad for a job that'd give me a step into a career that my degree centred around, accountancy. And the office is described as boisterous! Best bit of my last job was the boisterous office! Oh and it's not just regular financial stuff it'd be management!

So I got myself into an enormous pickle about what I should do next. Then I did some physio work and rolled around on the floor laughing once I realised how ridiculous I was being. Too afraid to take the next step in case it's the wrong one. I mean really am I going to um and ah until both opportunities pass me by? Nope! I'm gonna jump in, at least that's the plan.



One of many fictional heroes I hope I grow up to be like :-D So I'm going to be rolling the dice and trying whatever I end up with. If it works, fantastic! If not move on! Bernie Mac, get my reference? If you do then you know the drill. Nuptials here we come. My frequent threats/offers of marriage may mislead you to think that that's what I'm looking for. I'd have you believe that it's not but the truth of the matter is that I honestly don't know :-S Big old I don't know or IDK if you will atm.

My final Friday treat!

Forgot that SDRG gave me the shirt on the Saturday we said farewell to her! The tale of the hat is one of the more lengthy anecdotes that add up to the fabric of my rich and colourful life! I was rooting through my bag to make space when I came across it and there it is! and there was an extra surprise I wasn't expecting. That is of course the awesomeness that's on the back!

Emblazoned, discretely, across the back!
I was going to leave it at that but then I received a phone call at 16:00 yesterday. I was thinking who the devil is this at 16:00 on a Tuesday! It is of course one of my oldest friends in the world Aathiththan, yep his name is harder to spell than my own! He asks me whereabouts I work and my response includes location as well as the fact that I no longer work there. Expressing his guttedness he asks me whether I'd be up for meeting up as he and his girlfriend are driving up the A1 atm. My answer...hell yes! Well it came out sure, need to work on effectively expelling my enthusiasm.

He asks me where? Well I'm thinking Grantham as it's not so far off the A1 so they wouldn't have to make a massive detour. Now here's a question I didn't think I'd ever hear "what's good in Grantham?" I've been six places in Grantham: Asda, the train station, Morrisons, the DVLA test centre, Meres leisure centre and the Farrier. Doesn't really give me much to go on when asked where we could meet up for some food. So I leave it down to him and his phone. They are about 40 mins from Grantham so I get ready sharpish and head out the door, takes me about 25 mins from Sleaford.

As I drive I realise we haven't set up any kind of rendezvous so I go to my nearest familiar landmark, Asda. It is then that I receive a call letting me know that they are near the Guildhall and they've found somewhere called Gurkha's Square. I have no idea where that is so I park at the top of the high street and hoof it the rest of the way. Turns out it's a fair old trek from point to point. But on arrival I am warmly received by the Aathiththan and Ro. The first Ro I've ever met!

Have a bit of chat about the state of my nerves, damaged. Their time in Africa, India and London. Interviews, dissection, learning methods, Manchester, my broski, marriage, jobs, redundancy, who I worked for, our history, the future, bungee jumping, being thrown like a ball, boerboels and so much more. Lovely couple and time flies by. Oh the Gurkha's square has a cracking table buffet. £10 for a massive starter and several main courses all brought to your table! Only thing was that they got filled up by the starter and it was a little early for me, usually eat around 19:00 and it was only 18:00.

 

Something my dear brother sent me.

3 films 2 days...

Some of you know that I've been hiding away revising like some kind of crazed maniac. Well the exam is over n done with. To celebrate my new found freedom I'm gonna spend this bank holiday weekend in the cinema. At least that was the plan...

In my naivety/youthful exuberance I was aiming to watch five films: Iron Man 3, Star Trek, Fast & Furious 6, The Great Gatsby and The Worlds End.


I had failed to consider the timings at which cinemas decide to show aforementioned films and I'd also overlooked the fact that the last in the list hasn't been released yet! At best I could have watched 3 in a day. But I decided against it because the last one would have kicked of at 21:00 and I would be either asleep or soooo caffeine filled that I couldn't possibly sit still enough to enjoy it!


So late Friday afternoon I zoomed over to Nottingham to view Star Trek which was awesome! **SPOILER ALERT** But damn my maths brain Khan was made in 1959! Also why is there no planetary defence grid in orbit around earth? **SPOILER complete**
 
Other than that stuff I thoroughly enjoyed Mr. Cumberbatch being badass and there were moments in the film where Chris Pine was totally channelling Shatner :D

Onwards! Headed in to Lincoln early in Saturday morning to purchase shirts. Which sounds simple enough, right? Wrong! The very helpful ladies in several shops kindly informed me that I am a freak, not in those exact words. Explanation: I have a relatively trim midsection, yay! with very broad shoulders, chest and arms. Doesn't sound like a problem right? Wrong again :D This means that a shirt that fits my upper torso is way too big for the midsection and vice versa.


Due to the short term nature of this outing I had to acquire accomplices on the fly. So after hitting up some of my "old" friends. We met in a carpark and didn't leave for about an hour, which I think really worried some of the people parking there. These guys aren't the sort you'd want to meet in a car park, if you've seen what I currently look like you probs wouldn't want to meet me in a car park either :S

So Iron Man 3! General Tony Stark awesomeness but I wasn't bowled over. Again if you haven't seen it and are planning to consider this your spoiler alert. For just this paragraph :D Tony can't sleep and has anxiety issues, so he is human after all. Loved the twist with Kingsley being the face of the Mandarin. Was a little disappointed as I was looking forward to mystical ring powers like the olden days but alas it's not to be! Anyone else spot the funny moving eye wound that Tony had?

Now for FF6 again I will be going in to some detail so skip this paragraph if you don't want anything spoilt. Starts where 5 left off, watched that on Friday and enjoyed the hell outta it :D Nice n peaceful but they can't shake their attachments to their old lives. So friends become enemies and enemies become friends and introducing Jason Statham as the next guy they have to drive really fast to defeat :P Ridiculous action, custom cars, a tank, hand to hand hilarity, rossers being useless, the Rock's wrestling references and his mystical ability to grow his beard back in a day!

Dunno how many of you have this with something you love doing. It's a bit like an itch you can't help scratching. I kinda have that with writing, I feel like I have to do it. Also with dancing which brings me onto this hefty chunk of awesomeness:
