Im 25 and I still love video games, is there something wrong with me? I grew up with them from a young age having all the nintendo and sega consoles... and an atari if I remember correctly. Rampage made a good observation that video games are aimed at adults now so its all cool. That means I have been targeted by game producers since I was young and still continue to be even though their target market has changed. Will my generation be the first in the retirement home to have 3d battles around the halls with other geriatrics...? Probably. And you know what... that sounds cool to me. As long as I dont throw my hip out doing it.

RIP Sean McCarthy

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.

Things I miss about my old life...

Not being able to buy anything that I want when I want... and requiring to save money to buy food etc. I never had this problem in my old job, as I was paid rather well...

My car. Ohhh my sporty red little Mitsubishi MR Lancer. I miss you baby... We used to have so much fun speeding down outback highways... *crying* I shed a tear for you, but at least I know the person you went to will look after you...

My family. Not being able to take my car and drive to see them on the weekends or if I was living in another city it was a Friday afternoon flight back to Brisbane for the weekend.

My Army mates. Miss them alot. Havn't had a party like we used to have since I left. Although I do like my friends here because we do have good parties.

Respect. I used to be pretty good at my job.. I presume. Now I am just someone who has no credentials except for whats written on a piece of paper. And as such people dont listen to me like they used to... I dont mean to sound power hungry here but if you want advice on something, I dont care if you do what I suggest, but at least listen to me and any experience or opinions I may have, ESPECIALLY IF YOU ASK FOR IT!!!

I miss much more but I think that this will do for the moment..

Peace Out

Well here is what crazy ex-commies will do for a laugh

OK sorry I know its been a while but lack of computer access and my laziness is to blame.

Whats happened.. in a nut shell... a nut has grown.

Been playing football.. and actually getting better. I can now run the length of the pitch with only 1 drinks break.

Too many problems with choosing which woman I want. Argghh what ever happened to beggars cant be choosers?

Moved alot of furniture. Moved a few people, got to drive a truck again.. yay and got to drive on the crazy side of the road through Berlin...

Been working a fair bit and am currently procrastinating writing e-mails for camps... but I know as soon as I am done with sending stupid eggs that hatch on facebook I will do it... (Got to do all the important stuff first.)

Applied first aid to a few people Rampage for example and yet still ahve to do another first aid course.. hummm. If it wasn't for me Rampie would have lost the leg im sure... hehehe

Done alot of training for work... Although it has been most informative and did answer all the questions I wanted...

Made an ass of myself at work. Trying to help out... Crash and burn Maveric

Drank alot of beer during the Euro Football Championships... Way too much.. so I have given up since Sunday

Cant wait until summer camps so that I can get outa Berlin for a while...

That should about do for now.. lots of facebook before I can write these e-mails

Well I havn't written in a while. Its because I have been quite busy and lacking the energy to do so. So here is a short rap of whats happened in the past week. 5 Nights of drunken partying. 2 Games of football played. 1 Game of football seen (Could have been 3) 2 HOT chicks phone numbers.. Bulgarian or Polish, decisions, decisions.... 1 Art gallery repainted white and .3 kilo lost.

That about sums it up. Cheers for now.

Well after what can only be called a shit week. I am feeling a bit better, thanks to my friends, a haircut and way too much beer.

Thanks

Well I made it through my first gym session since I left the Army and I am still alive. I feel great actually. My arms are feeling a little ... humm whats the right word... lethargic.???

Anyway after 2 hours I thought that I had had enough for my first day back in the slog. Not a bad place really. There was a whole mix of people there. From the standard "I work out 19 times a week" guys, to the "I purchased a membership but I only use it once a month" women. There was a couple of pretty good looking girls that had absolutley no need to be there. I think that they go to get out of the house for a while while their husbands are at work.

The staff are friendly (although don't speak a word of English) but I wasn't really expecting them to. They walk around correcting peoples technique on the weight machines, which is important given that you can do some serious damage if you use some of those bastard the wrong way.

They have their own in-house TV channel too. It plays the standard up-beat dance music to get you pumping. They also show clips from random things as well. I watched truck rally crashes, skateboarders eating concrete and the red bull air races.

Much more than I expected to get for the price. €16.50 per month. Not too bad considering that the other gyms I went to wanted €40+, one even wanted €72.50 per month. I had to control myself from laughting my way outa there. Anyho.. Thats all for now I will let you know how it goes... If I can get outa bed tomorrow. Ciao

OK I signed up tp a gym yesterday. Now I am getting ready to go kill myself... in a workout I mean.

While I was out on Friday, in the club I heard the stangest thing. Now I am unsure wheather it was the alcohol or extacy everyone else was on but when they play the Spong Bob Square Pants theme (In German of course) in the club and everyone goes mental with excitement I have to think that there is something wrong. Don't you? Perhaps Sponge Bob had subconcious lyrics and they have all been brainwashed into buying a certain type of soap. Whatever the answer is.. it is disturbing.
