Permission to speak please?

Im just going to type and see where this goes......Well the last few weeks have been interesting to say the least. I have found myself a place to stay in Crewe with an aquaintance I know from the MMUC boxing club from last year. I wouldn't call him a close friend at all but sometimes a man got to do what a man got to do! I don't dislike the guy at all, I just don't feel as comfortable around him as I am with others. My other two housemates seem alright, ones a fiery Latino who seems to have her up and downs but when shes got a cob on JEEEEESUS don't we all know about it! The last housemate is probably the one I connect with the most. An older student, infact nearly 10 years my senior, but I feel the most comfortable with him. Conversations have two way paths, input from both sides and can get quite interesting which is something a little desirable when the other two are concerned.

I have a room and all that and my stuff is unpacked but I don't feel settled. I spend a lot of time round at my mates or girlfriends houses as I find a safehaven when with these people. There are two ethnics I am missing alot though, after spending alot of tim e over the last 3 years with. The Asian and the Blackman. They won't mind me saying that honestly! but yeah I do kinda miss the chilling, the banter and all the other little aspects of having such people around you, who understand you near enough 24/7.

 I still don't feel as if the house is partly mine and after having resided in the place for three weeks I have yet to take a shower or bath there or brush my teeth in that sink! I usually go workout at my gym when I want a wash. Seems strange I know! It kind of makes me want to get in the gym and workout which I have been reluctant to do in the past, however after missing 3 days in the gym in 3 or 4 weeks, im starting to feel quite good about myself. I mean I haven't got the body of some Godly figure but I am starting to enjoy seeing the improvements to my funny shape. Hopefully the missus is too!

This week has been event filled you could say. There does seem to be one place that I am settling into and slowly getting into the swing of things with and thats at Uni. Im starting to really get a full flavour of what my future career is going to be like and what to expect. Not going to be easy but at the end of the day nothing gets handed to you on a silver spoon. Well not for the majority of us anyway! On Thursday I met the man who brought my career (and thats what im going to call it now) into the sports industry. The one and only Mike Hughes, The grandaddy, the daddy mac, the Don of performance analysis. During my undergraduate degree this was just a name that I regularly heard being thrown around in Performance Analysis lectures. A name seen on near enough every PA  journal artical and book ever published, but on Thursday I met the face behind the sacred name. A short fat scouse bloke who looked very ordinary until he spoke. He had a certain Aura??? about him. He was one of them people you consider a fountain of knowledge, someone who could hold your attention with his vast storytelling and jokes. Quite frankly he was off his FUCKING rocker but it was a privilage to meet such a man. The big fat juicy bonus at the end of this weeks engaging lecture was the great mans email address so I can add him on facebook....Only joking but he did give it us to contact him if we required any help at all regarding PA. To you lot it may mean nothing but to me its ...well ...kind of a big thing!

Yesterday was a brill day. I don't know why but two days ago I got a random phonecall off my old man. or Pootache as me and Fisher call him. I had previously told him about my uni course and that I was struggling due to the work we all do is on apple macs and I have no idea how to use them. A bit of a worry as the majority or jobs within the PA sports industry revolves around the apple mac system. I hadn't complained or asked or moaned about falling behind due to my fixed microsoft ways but my Dad phoned me up and mentioned the computers again on the phone. He said I will need one anyway so decided that he was going to transfer the money into my bank for a brand new shiney Apple Macbook pro. I haven't really had chance to play on it yet but I am extremely greatful to big Steve for his kind donation! I know that you will have to go a while without some cash for this gift and the hope that it will help me in my studies and career aspirations. DONT WORRY I WONT LET YOU OR ANYONE ELSE WHO BELIEVES IN ME DOWN!

Well I think its time for me to zip it anyway as I have blabbered on for a long time now. Seems like a very interesting path we ( I ) have found myself walking down but all I can do is embrace the change and obstacles which are put in the way in the marvellous life of me.

A very relevant line from a film which myself and Jake were speaking about. "Its never finished, It will never be finished, Its constantly evolving"

If you always do what you've always done, you will always get what you always got!
