I went to knockhill all last weekend with my Cousin. while we were there we got the News That Colin McCray had died. Was crazy because it was also a subaru racing day on the track. One thing lead to another and everyone eventually drove to Colins house and drove by. at least 100 cars, and then on to donington then silverstone. Crazzy stuff man.

The largest (Subaru) racing team in the world, was it was titled.

So having fannied about for a week, i came to realize that i really miss my old work, I miss the guys and girls and also the workload. I dunno if i just miss working full stop, but every interview Ive been to since leaving has always had this kind of cold shoulder feeling, not the interviewers but the actual studio. Things just don't seem as much fun.



Anyway i got back in touch with creative and Im going in for a meeting with them either monday or tuesday. Id love to go back to work with them but i need a stable wage.

Lou got a job as a psychology teacher in the new school, its only temp for two weeks but the woman she is replacing might have to go on long term sick leave, so it might become a permanent position. So that gives me a bit more scope to go back to CO with. anyway ill get back to this when i know what's happening.

I am pure loaded with the cold just now, its horrible. i haven't been able to go out running or anything. i lost two stone but Ive managed to put half a stone back on in a week!!! Really annoyed with my self. So Im off out to a session at the gym, try and shift some of it.

All righty.

I got an interesting email today from a guy at ocean70. There an ausome Media/ graphics/advertising .... etc etc they do it all, company. The email was titled "job: web design ninja" which made me chuckle. They seem a really cool company with a huge list of clients.



its the first time anyone has contacted me about a job without me applying for it. I hate to use the phraze headhunted, i initially thought this untill I was telling my buddy drew about it. Drew has worked with them before€, I recently joined a design and media contact group called "dotdotdot".

ANYWAY Drew tells me that one of the guys who runs dotdotdot also works for ocean70. mystery maby solved.

So I hope things pan out, exciting stuff. ill let you know how thigs go.

After much research and more research and again more research, this is what im planning on buying soon (ish) not sure when.



She will be mine...oh yes she will be mine....

The new ipod touch is at the top of my list but in a few months then this bad boy right here is what im planning on getting. I was away looking at a bmw z3 today, it was lef hand drive and was costing me 3G's to insure, thats the same price as the car, so screw that.

The roadster has one of those crazzy smart engines, so it runs on flowers and good thoughts, pretty handy as its uber cheap to tax and insure.

again I will keep this up to date. (the barabus is a bit pricey might get the normal one and add to it over time.

Yeah an audo TT costs 5g's to insure, just because i has a bose sound system lol

All rigty. I went for an interview with a company called Nation 1 on thursday.



Drews done work for them before and they have a very impressive client list and back catalogue. It would be an enormous oppertunity for me to work for or with these guys so i was looking forward to the interview, was a little nervous about the whole thing as they were advertising for a junior print designer, which I know I dont have enough experience for, but the guy wo interviewed me Niall (thats Niell) was a really sound guy, knows his stuff and was at connect as well, a cool guy to have as your boss lol, anyway there may be an oppertunity for a web designer possition opening up very soon in the company, Niall got back to me very quickly and I have a second interview on monday with the MD an the online accounts manager. So once again im bricking it lol but if all goes well i might get a possition. but im not building my hopes up. But it would be ausome man. good company cool studio(s) and cool colleagues. Anyway ill let you guys know how things go, fingers crosssed.

Right well my month of getting myself together has finished. lol Time to get back to the real worl. All the anicca stuff is out the way, with connect festival symbolising my short break. time to start looking for a new job, a nice stable possition somewhere

So connect festival. What a load of rubbish. out of all the festivals ive been too, uk or otherize, its is indeed the worst organised excuse for a outdoor event I have ever attended. the line up was a bit bad to begin with but the bands we wanted to see where amaizing. The festval itself was rubbish but the goodtimes had by the group will stay with us for ever. a good scrap book moment.



I met up with drew as well, hes starting his new design venture (flx or fixx or ficks or phix or phixx undecided as of this time) up in edinburgh at the end of this week, I wish him all the best and look forward to working with him soon. Was great to see the big fella, just hope its not as long before we go for a few drams.

Ill keep you up to date with progress, I found this company tonight called tictoc,



€they sound really really interesting, applied for a jr position with them, would be a massive opertunity. plus they like rjd2 and aphex twin, which ausome lol.

take it easy

Ps. ive gave up spell checking for the time being
