Well I think we are. I'm not sure who "we" are. I should write I so I will from now on! Im still job seeking and its by far the most irratating thing ive ever done! I have a new blog also that tracks my crazy running idea. Read it there at www.runcrazychris.blogspot.com. Ill let you read all about that. I would have made it here but I thought Google had blacked my account forever. Now its restored for now and ill have to get writing again. Topics and all sorts. I have got a meeting tomorrow to volunteer with OMEGA. Now I wasnt too sure what they did I just applied because the role was I.T. related. However looking at what they do (care and support for carers who look after those with life limiting illlnesses) I can see that its right up my street and the sort of thing I have a passion and drive to want to help with. As some of you will know my own grandad had one of these illneeses called cancer and this changed my prioritys when it comes to what im doing with my life to really try and help others whilst myself succeeding in everything I do. He did alot for others and now I want to follow in his foot steps and make a real nice impact on this world.

Conflicting edits? I think not!
Nooooo! Because here we, I mean I do not believe in edits. Life has no edits and neither does this blog! I am refering to a blogger error, but i'll stop that now! Anyway as with a fresh start ive decided upon some new house rules for the blog; as follows:
- one blog per week min/max
- Less on a focus of purely me. More focus on self-improvement and positive thinking (yeah baby I love that phrase)!
- More career base, CV improvement, economical etc base rather tiring old ive done this that and the other (although ill stick some of that in there too for old times sake!).
- More focus on you, your life what I think would help you to help yourself in various ways based on what works for me.
I'm going to do more background into areas and articles for this blog then before and critque them all write about what I think about them my feelings, opinions etc. I hope you will all enjoy the new approach to the blog. Which I also hope will impact my life and make the oriantation of my life on the whole a much better more pleasurable ride.

Its been a while *dusts off keyboard*
Hey all!
just a quick up date! I'm pretty much where I was a few weeks ago....is it months yet? I'm still looking for a job in I.T. Im still very much trying to party like I did when I was 18. I had the hangover from hell a few days ago. I literally had death. But im ok now; and im still living! Ive applied for around 1000 jobs and havent had one interview! That sucks but im hopnig things will pick up this year and eventually somebody may give me a chance! Hopefully maybe? Right? I applied for an I.T. retial job so thats sort of a very small step in the right direction if I get it. I hope so would love it. I want change and progression, but everythings so slow right now. In other areas im still horribly single and wanting people who dont want me!!!! This is hard, but thats life if you dont want my awesomeness kinda your lose isnt it? Ive also taken up running again! Straight after an injury but now im injured again! Eventually im hoping the injury will go! I need it to im dieting to try and loose weight but I need excercise! Driving is going well. I did my first parallel park today it was nice. I enjoyied it.
Thats all for now! ill hopefully do more before the next one!

New year, new start? NEW GOALS HELL YEEEAH!
Hang on I better check my old goals, you know last years........
'Aim one: 13 and a half stone by the end of the year (189 pounds and 85.7289579kg thanks google)!
Aim two: Build more muscle- ok I know this isnt one I can neccessarily know when ive hit!
Aim three: Move out by xmas 2010
Aim four: Have a job by November 2010
Aim five: (and the biggie) Cut drink out to two days a week (thursday and saturday so i can be social)
Aim six: A salad a day I mean proper beefy nice salad (that should be easy I love salad)!
Aim seven: Cut out all 'junk food' apart from Sunday nights so I dont go on binges like used to'!
(see: http://thesubmittersmart.blogspot.com/search?updated-min=2009-01-01T00%3A00%3A00-08%3A00&updated-max=2010-01-01T00%3A00%3A00-08%3A00&max-results=31 (the longest URL EVER right!?))
Right sooooo goal one. The aim was 85.72kg and right now I weigh in at 93.9 fully clothed and full of food. So id say more like 92kg? Ive lost 7kg in a year. Not much, but im well on my way. No longer classed as overweight which is nice! I'm trying to eat more fruit and veggies and basically live a healthier life style. But overall since target not hit for goal. FAIL.
Goal Two: I joined the gym and went however most of the time the aim was to loose weight not gain muscle so I lost weight (I dont think it was muscle, if I lost any muscle it would have left me a skeleton on my arms! I didnt however stay disciplined with the gym and went on and off for all of 8 months. Overall NEUTRAL.
Goal Three: Not happened, still with my family. Nothing more needs to be said here. FAIL.
Goal four: I have a job. Its just not where I want to be (in the I.T. industry. I've applied for at least fifty jobs. Had a few interviews. I have an interview soon with a bank (ok not I.T. but a BANK is good for the CV) so im hoping that will go well!
Goal five: YEEEES goal achieved (although on different days)! Basically due to work and other people workingg I rarely drink during the week now anyway and LESS on weekends. So overall if anything i'm above the target. ACHIEVED.
Goal six: okay, so not a salad a day. However my life overall has become much healthier food wise. Christmas is here though; lets not tempt fate too much!
Aim Seven: I do eat healthier, still working on this one though NEUTRAL.
OVERALL (the scores are in! Are you excited? I AM):
2 FAIL 3 NEUTRAL 3 ACHIEVED!
So this year I think I should re-use the same resolutions with the aims of making those neutrals ACHIEVED and the fails NEUTRALS AT LEAST! So.......
Aim one: 13 and a half stone by the end of the year (189 pounds and 85.7289579kg thanks google)!
Aim two: Build more muscle- ok I know this isnt one I can neccessarily know when ive hit!
Aim three: Move out by summer 2011 - moved the goal posts back a bit! But not for a year, I need some pressure. However I dont want to rush too much, into stuff im not comfortable with
Aim Four: Get a better, nice job. Which I enjoy doing and feel rewarded for!
So thats this years targets and they can be achieved. The weight lose one is just further work, more excercise and eating healthy and less bad stuff! Pretty simple, but disciplined. Build more muscle. Well when I join the gym and loose some weight ill build muscle then. It might increase my weight but itll make me look better. Moving out relies on my final one of getting a good full time job. Which takes interview skill. Something i'm rapidly having to learn! This one is by far the hardest. The economic climate is crap! A company taking a risk on you is hard enough, but then you need to proove it in interview and they as everyone knows aren't easy. I'm preparing better and better each time though!
Its a matter of time. Up-dates on goals and other things coming soon (very soon).

"twenty-three jobs today. More jobs then you could shake a cat at"!
Yes I did really say the above, to my sister; about errrm twenty seconds ago? Which was when I decided to check-in and write a blog. Why? Why not? This one after all isn't going to be the whiney jargon I decided to serve up in a masterfull dinner of how shit my life has the potiential to be. I was tired yesterday and this definately took its toll and things got to me. My blog is the old do something very damaging. I limit the damage by typing it all in here, the ultimate forum that few people read (and even less do who you know; actually know me).
So what happened today? Well actually quite a bit, you know considering I do a job that doesnt really impact anyone. I was on trollies and it was very slippy. So slippy the boss even came out and told me not to expect the cars to stop. As if it would some how be my fault if I was to be hit by one! Its Christmas you know a time for friendliness and giving and happiness and generousity. Yeah right!? I've seen more generousity in one of the videos of Hitlers concentration camps! People are vicous and very self centred; I am including myself in that sweeping statement. Even now as I type this i'm looking for a job and I wont care if I get it what happened to the many people who applied but failed. However in the more likely event I dont get it suddenly everyone else becomes important because they hurt me and I dont like that. People cant help the egotistic life they all lead. All that matters when the shit hits the fan is themselves. Think you dont apply? Take a closer look! In the best of cases you might care about your friend (note: friend not friends) or family but after that all that matter is number one. Anyway back on topic. Work is hard, Christmas turns people to heartless wankers and job hunting is an incredible hardship. Made worse by rubbish internet and distraction (grrrr damn you blog).
And on that bombshell.

Nice weekend; but........
Hello,
I dont know whats going on.....its tiredness I guess? Its been a great weekend, ive spent too much money and partied waaaay too hard, but now I just feel like dispair. I cant stop thinking and its driving me insane. I'm obsessing over a girl, who i'm doing well with, but this seems like bad obsession; like a panic over her, loosing, lose, rejection? I dont know. I could rant on and on all day (all blog) about this......ok I will, for a while. Readers if you get the feeling this is the scribblings of a persons current thoughts; you are correct! Its not just this girl i'm worrying (is that the right word, I mean, im not worried, its not worry. Panicing? errrm obsessing yes. Obsessing) about its work, getting a new job, progressing with life, acceptence by friends, do I trust them, do they trust me? Do they tell me this, that; the other? Man. I sound crazy; i mean reading this back im thinking "dude your head is fried"! It is, its hurting, its tiredness I know that; so i'm scrolling down my thoughts here; in this public blog any old joe could read! Not wise. Geeeeese I know, but I have to tell someone (something?) about this, that, them? Whatever it is i'm thinking! I need reasons, I need action, I need progression. Its the girls fault. No. its my own making, this situation. My fault. After all my feelings, perceptions, actions. Lack of actions all my fault. I can blame others......and no doubt for the little things I will. At the end of the day I need to do something. i was thinking on the girl front just be friendly, be a friend. But she has many male friends who all like her and want something, but nothing happens! I cant be a drone like them (no offence if your reading this fellas, I am after all pretty mental(see above)). If I ask her though to go somewhere and she says nein, it would hurt alot, I guess its cos my dream would be destroyied. What ive worked for gone......but friends, friends can fall in love right? Anyway enough about that problem (its not a problem, I love it really, maybe, do I? lets not go there).
On the job front, ive had a few more interviews and offers of interviews since my last blog. Jobs come and go, but nothing seems to be really catching on and employing me. I'm hoping 2011 will be a big year of progression for me on that front. I cant really deal with living here much longer. I mean, I love my parent but at the same time they get on my nerves, I need my own space. My own people. I'm still at Sainsburys and I enjoy it. I never thought id write (type) that but I am, its pretty good for what I do, nice people everywhere.
Thats the blog for now.
See you soon readers.

Another blog, also known as another training session for my typing!
Todays the day! No really today im going to do something awesome with my life! Starting with.....you guessed it! How I Met Your Mother it seems goood today, I dont know why! But it has snowed! I got woken up early by the shine off the snow! So that was bad, but I have work later (bad) but that has up's. The walk to work (up) the hotties (up) a nice short shift (up) and Sunday off (OBER UP)! In other news, well heck there isnt much! But hay! The problem with today is that work is positioned badly until 10pm so I need to sleep in so that I can have enough energy for work, which means the gap between sleep and work gets shorter and shorter! Resulting in doing a whole load of nothing whilst I literally wait for work! So whats real good about today? Well.....nothing! Its a Saturday without an even wow im out tomight, or a wow after work I can watch the football. Newcastle aren't playing! This is quite possibly the dullest saturday ever! But the snow yay!
Tomorrow.....more of the same! Bet you cant wait! I may do something good today though, I cant publically announce what my plans are though, its all secret! Like good secret not i'm going to kill someone secret, thats not good by the way!
Chris.
