    I like to complain!

    By Davey,

    Do you ever feel that you're the only one to make contact?
     
    I'll use my mother as an example, I decided that I wanted to see how long it would take her to phone me, so I held off calling. Three weeks later she calls to tell me off for not keeping in touch. I ALWAYS make the call.
     
    It happens online too. Like with some friends if I don't bother to send the hi message it never gets done. I've left it with some contacts before for weeks and finally I get a message all pissed off asking why i'm not talking to them.
     
    As you can probably guess i'm in a bad mood lol
     
    Anyway this blog made very little sense, but I think I like that

    Amazing people

    By Davey,

    So just for the record before you read/ watch this I'm not American.
     
    I may not agree fully with the war, but I have the up most respect for all the service personnel, regardless of the country they come from.
     
    I saw this and it touched my heart, I hope it does yours too.
     
    The way we get by
     
    As I'm in the UK, I don't get PBS programming, so the trailer and story are all i've seen, but its still pretty amazing I think.
     
    Enjoy.

    Moving.... Again

    By Davey,

    We're moving again because of my Job, which sucks.
     
    I like living here, its a good place with good people that have been great with us. I've never heard a single negative comment about gays the entire time we've been here and that's pretty great I think.
     
    But sadly the time has come for me to move stores again and where I go Chris is sure to follow lol
    So we're back to not knowing how people will react. I hope that it'll be an easy transition again, but time will tell.

    My Dads a plumber, always has been ever since he started working. I never really thought about it but I've come to the conclusion that he was disappointed I never followed in his foot steps. The other day we were talking on the phone and he mentioned something about my brother in law going back into college as part of a plumbing apprenticeship he's doing with my Dad I don't remember what he was talking about but he followed it with something like, ' I'm so glad I'll have someone to pass the company over too, I was worried what would happen to it.' Ugh. My Dad rarely tries to guilt me (that's my Mothers game) but this time he was out full force. I of course didnt rise to the bait and just said, 'Yeah Im glad too Dad.' haha I could hear the hmph come out over the phone and had to stop myself laughing at him. I almost felt like telling him to go ask Mum how to guilt me, She's great at it.
     
    My Sister is moving back to Australia, She's waiting for the Immigration department to confirm their resident visas again and they'll be off. They own a house in south east Melbourne already from when they lived there before and have been renting it out since. The last renters left a few weeks ago so they're all set.
     
    I think i'll blog again soon and not wait months lol

    Ramblings

    By Davey,

    Hey,
     
    It's been a while since I last wrote anything in this. Mainly because I can never think of anything I want to say. I feel like I've lost touch with this site, that's all my fault I know, I guess I've just allowed myself to get distracted. I'll write this out and if I can be bothered I'll post it, if not meh well at least I'll have written SOMETHING for a change!
     
    I guess I should update on a few things.
     
    Chris is doing good. He's busy pretty much all the time but then so am I. We make time for each other everyday so we're still as strong as ever. When we moved here for my work it seemed a good idea. A new exciting challenge to explore, a new place with new people to meet. We'll it's been both those things and more. I think the hardest thing to deal with living here is traveling. In my old store when I had a meeting to attend I'd just jump in the car and drive there, then be home by dinner time. Now its a three day travel event. I've been away from home far too much and being seconded for three months earlier this year didn't help. Three months of hotel living with trips home only ever couple of weeks, I about went crazy! Thankfully Chris and Viv kept me semi sane with regular phone calls.
     
    My sister is still living in our old place, she's had a massive amount of shit to deal with this last year or so, they're paying the mortgage on the place just now but i think we'll maybe just let them buy out the rest of it If they want to. We don't need the place and it'd probably be good for them to have the security of their own place.
     
    Oh man so, I've been doing interviews for new staff at work this last week. I've gotta ask, what happened to all the normal sane people?
    It's retail, so I get that the starting rate really isn't all that great, but come on!
    I had this one woman in, I looked over her application and noticed that she'd failed high school math. So, I flagged this up as a discussion topic to see if she'd done any home study or anything to further herself. So we're in the office and I ask the question. ' I see from your application you failed to pass your highschool math course. Have you done any further study to improve on this?' her reply... 'No! But I can spell!' Huh? Did I ask if you could spell?! To make it worse my note taker 'K' snorted a laugh out at this point causing me to barely stop my self laughing at her.
     
    Im not asking for people that can do degree level math, however when they're handling cash I'm responsible for I'd like them to at least be able to count to ten!
     
    I interviewed four people and gave three of them Jobs, needless to say the woman above failed in her application.
    I kinda wish we could rewind time back to the days when I didn't need to worry what I wrote on the interview form, I doubt writing IDIOT! In the reason for rejection box would be appreciated by my head office.
     
    Meh, I'm bored now so i'll leave it at that.
     
    Love, kisses and all that shit,

    My Niece

    By Davey,

    Hey,
     
    So it's been pretty shitty around here this week. My sister had her baby, a little girl she named Linda Ann, after our Mum.
    She was born at 1:30am on Saturday and fought for her life for one hour ten minutes before her strength gave in.
     
    I don't really know what I feel right now.
     
    How is it fair that she didn't even get the chance to start her life let alone live it? How is it fair that my sister and her husband are left feeling the greatest loss there is?
     
    It's simply not fair.
     
    I'm going to try my best to be strong at the funeral. I honestly don't know how I'll react when I see that little white coffin, but my priority lies with Jen, Johnny and little Jordan and making sure they know we're here to help and support and love them.
     
    It's not right!

    ...Really isnt a good idea if you're outta shape!
     
    I swear I'm hurting in places i never knew I had muscles. Chris is a regular gym rat. He's there almost every day (except when I make him stay home lol) So he decided it'd be a swell idea if we went together again. I used to be a regular too but then I just kinda lost it and started using the computer more. The big attraction before was that it was something we did together, but with our schedules conflicting so badly now I guess the whole routine just left us.
     
    So there I was dying in the gym earlier, with Chris next to me looking all hot and fit.. and he says 'Babe come on, you know you can do more...' My reaction you ask? Well in a slightly (maybe a little more than slight ) bout of anger I said ' F**K OFF AND LEAVE ME ALONE'.... So yeah he did, and quietly with his tail between his legs walked away to do some more exercising
     
    Now as you can guess I felt (feel) like a total asshole, especially when later as I'm resting and feeling crap he comes over to me in the middle of the crowded gym and kisses my forehead and apologizes.
     
    ARGH! I'm an asshole!
     
    Anyway, I've apologized since and we made up
     
    So I think I need to exercise some in the privacy of our own home where I wont feel like a total lard ass lol. Then maybe i'll go back and we can have fun doing it at the gym
     
    Dave...x
     
    P.s. Ohh I just bought an exercise bike to start me off (He's putting it together for me looking all happy and proud, bless his heart.)

    Update

    By Davey,

    Hi!
     
    I just realized its been like 8 weeks since i last updated this and my have things changed for me!
     
    I've moved house and started a new job in that short period of time.
     
    The new job is a project manager for my company building new stores, its proving to be a lot of work but i'm enjoying it loads so it's totally been worth it.
    The house move came about because of the job, Chris is still staying in our old place but he'll be moving here with me next weekend
     
    Here's a picture of the view from our front door...

     
    Its pretty nice here
     
    Anyway I need to go get ready cause i'm off out sailing for the first time.....

    Romance

    By Davey,

    Are you in a long term relationship? Do you think your partner has become complacent?
     
    The reason I ask is, Chris and I used to do loads of really romantic stuff all the time. Now it feels a little like we're an old married couple lol. I'm not saying that's a bad thing, hell no! I wouldnt change what we have for anything. Just maybe a few more romantic nights would be nice
     
    I got to thinking about this after a dream I had today, We were on holiday at this beach. It was evening and we were sitting on the sand right in front of the water line. I could feel the water just reaching my toes. The sun was setting before us and it looked beautiful.
     
    Chris was sitting with me pressed right against his chest. His feet were hooked over mine and his hands were wrapped around my stomach. His head was resting on my shoulder while my was pressing back slightly increasing our contact just a little.
     
    We sat there talking, basically just telling each other how we feel. It was the most realistic dream I ever remember having. It's something I'd liek to make happen for us one day
     
    I think I need to come up with something really nice to do for him, because lets face it there are two people in this relationship so we both need to make a little extra effort once in a while. Now I just need to work out what I'm gonna do lol
     
     
    OOhhh If anyone suffers from hot feet, ask Viv how to cure them She has a great idea....

    Story Frustration

    By Davey,

    No, this isnt in reference to my own writing... thats a whole other subject just now....
     
    This is actually about the Pete and Brian series by Dewey. I finally took the time to read my way through the written chapters over the last week or so.
     
    For me one of the signs of an amazing author is when they can leave me feeling emotionally involved with their characters, Dewey has done just that.
     
    As I finished the last couple chapters tonight (Im having trouble sleeping again lol) I found myself growing more and more frustrated with the two boys. In the end I was actually angry with pete for being a hypocrite!
    Dewey, to me has proven himself to be one of the best authors I have had the pleasure of reading. It's been a while since an author has left me screaming for more.
     
    Now my only wish is that he finishes the series where I want him to
     
    *fingers crossed*
     
    PABINE (Pete and Brian in the end) hehe

    Inside of me

    By Davey,

    Hey,
     
     
    You may have read the short story I wrote called Inside Of Me. My reason's for using such a... tender? subject are simple. The story is dedicated to Clare, my 13 y/o couson. Claire decided life was too hard to deal with so she ended it.
     
    I've been left asking myself why? I mean what the hell drives a 13y/o to take their life? She never left a note, so we'll never really have an answer as to what she was thinking. I wrote the story as a kind of release. About 1AM on the night I was told of her death I was in bed staring at the celling thinking. I wondered if I'd made more of an effort to know her would I have helped?
    Maybe I would have maybe I wouldn't have, I'll never know. Well anyway, I was in bed and my mind was wandering. I started to have this idea, like a setting. I imagined how the people left behind would feel. So I wrote this little idea out in my head, the got up out of bed and wrote a few paragraphs. I continued the next day writing a little more, then I had a conversation that included this.....
     
    Stop me if I've already laid this all on you -
    but something like 30-40% of gay teens consider or attempt suicide
    and when I learned that, I was horrified enough - until I thought about it a little more, then I felt even worse
    because in my high school, there were 1200 students
    assuming 1/10 were gay/bi/questioning, that is 120 kids
    so between 30 and 50 kids in my school - kids I KNEW - thought about or tried to kill themselves
    so that was just a bit of a reaity shock
    and I could go into all the reasons I think gay kids do that
    but f**K...that's just tragic
     
    So I decided I needed to finish it. Now I dont know if reading it affect anyone. But I pray that there could be one kid out there that comes to this site. Now maybe that kid is depressed with the life and has thought of ending it. If that kid reads it then maybe they'll consider the people that love them enough to get help. Then maybe Claires death wont have been totally in vain.

    Nothing to say....*shrug*

    By Davey,

    So depending on how long you've been here, you may have noticed ive not bogged in a while.
     
     
     
    To be honest I've had anything to blog about. Now believe it or not that's something I'm very grateful for. If you know the history of this blog then you'll know the last year and a half has been filled with enough drama to last my life time. I never thought for a second when I sent that first PM to Myr, pouting over how Ben (Boyneedstherapy) could have a blog and I couldn't that the time that followed would be filled with such happiness and pain.
     
     
     
    Okay so I realise this all sounds somewhat final, like I'm leaving or some shit; but I'm not.
     
     
     
    I simply realised I'd not used this thing in ages; I'm not one of those people that feels they have to publish ever last thing they do.
     
     
     
    I'm actually sitting here trying to think of something exciting to tell you

    O2 - UK v's Cingular

    By Davey,

    So Viv sent me a text the other day..... So far I've recived it 48 times!
     
    I swear if I see it again I WILL go crazy, its kept me awake at night, annoyed the crap outta me through the daytime and just generally pissed me off.
     
    Well today we reached a climax, cingular blame O2 and O2 blame cingular.... Viv has talked to a dumb f**k and Ive talked to a dumber f**k lol
     
    Finally, O2 are telling me if I try a new handset and MAYBE it will reset and go back to normal........
    I'm praying that it will becuase it really is driving me insane

    Wish us luck

    Steroids/Hospital

    By Davey,

    Ive got a cold...
     
    Now everyone gets colds at some point so its no big issue. But the twisted hands of fate chucked a mix of asthma into the equation, so I now have breathing problems.
    I ended up at the docs the other morning pretty much unable to breathe, now if you don't suffer from asthma or have never been seriouslly short of breath, trust me when I say it's seriouslly scary..
     
    The good old doctor gave me a sparkley new Inhaler and a sweet little dose of steroids. So off I went on my merry way to the pharmacy to get the prescription filled. Waited in line (still unable to breathe ) before they gave me my drugs. A couple of quick puff's and I was back to semi normal breaths
     
    Fast forward to last night and I'm now in the middle of a massive coughing fit. Like I seriouslly couldnt stop. I coughed to the point where I was physically sick, then coughed some more.
    In the middle of one of these coughs I spat up all the crap that had been blocking my wind pipe. Blood... Yeh I coughed up blood... So I freaked out, I called up Chris at work in my mad panic (which set him off ) and told him all about the blood I was coughing up.
     
    He told his work he had to leave then five minutes later he was here bundling me into his car and speeding us off to the hospital. Thankfully 3am in the A&E dept (E.R to most of you) here isnt very busy, so I was whisked right in to see the Doc. After having him prod at the back of my throat (thank goodness for no gag reflex ) He got this wire camera thing out and rammed it down there.
     
    Basically he told me I had a tear somewhere in my throat which had caused the blood to show.
    He also sent me on my merry way with another prescription (from the hospital pharmacy) for Antibiotics and stronger steroids. (I had to give him the first batch.)
     
    So now I feel ok, no mad coughing tonight so I guess the steroids are doing their job.
     
    Now the point of this whole thing.... I can't sleep! God dammed drugs, making me feel better then messing me about!

    The weekends over...

    By Davey,

    So yeh,
     
    as the title says the weekend is over, so its time to share myself with the rest of the planet again.
     
    I had a great time this weekend, I spent like 70% of it cuddled up to chris, which IMO is the best way to spend any time! the other 30 % was spent where your imagination tells you it was spent lol!
     
    We spent most of sunday reading Dom's desert dropping. Now If you have S/O then I suggest you read a chapter story together, we had a load of fun reading a chapter out loud turn about
     
    And if you dont have a S/O then just go read desert dropping cause its like the third time Ive read it and I'm still im love with it.
     
    So, I've started writing Runaways again, I really missed those guy whilst I was away from it!
     
    The anthology story is now done (its really short!) and sent to kitty, Im not sure how you folks will react to it... I've made a couple people cry when thet have reached the end, so... we'll see what you think
     
    I read Viv's entry again today and realised she's gonna struggle to keep within the 10k words! Its possiblly the best I've seen from her, I hope you all agree with me
     
     
    Anyway, its 10:50pm here in scotchland and Viv is almost back from lunch, so I'm off....
     
    See ya's
     
    Davey!

    Weekend Off!

    By Davey,

    Hey ya'll
     
    Ive decided to take this weekend off. Its the first time I've had chris all to myself in ages, so dont expect to see me about.... at all
     
    He's outside checking his car over just now... I swear that boy, I drove it like 4 miles total today and he's freaking out like i've killed it..
     
    Anyway, I hope you all have a great weekend.... I will!
     
    & 2 Viv

    I begged..

    By Davey,

    Well I went to the meeting today and as soon as I was able to get my Boss alone I begged for a higher payroll percentage. Guess what...
     
    NO! Simple answer to a major problem.
     
    The thing that pisses me off the most... Ive not actually overspent, Im sitting right on my cost budget. Its the rest of my stupid ass area that are overspending, yet I'm getting penalised for their actions, fair huh?
     
    So anyway, Ive decided f**k it, if they wont give me the bodies to do the whole job, then we wont do the whole job. I will not kill myself for them.

    Mood: Excited!

    By Davey,

    Ive started writing again.
     
    Ive had a nasty little dry spell where I couldnt get anything to come out.
    Ive got part of my fall anthology post done, and a tiny bit of Love never dies.
    Maybe In the next few days I'll actually finish a chapter! That'd be great
     
    Fingers crossed I might have something to post early next week, I'm not sure which story yet, but we'll see
     
     
    I need to say a huge thanks to Kevin (AFF) for not only reading my stories but for the awesome reviews he left last night!
     
    Anyway, Im on my lunch from work so i'd better get back, big boss guy on the way today.... Wish me luck hehe

    My DSL went down today.
     
     
    So I called my ISP worked my way through the menus untill I got to the technical help section. I pressed the keys and got the message I was in a queue. Now remember I'm queuing for connection support...
     
    I get this message... - We may be able to help you on our website, visit www.....etc. What?!? Umm If I could get the bloody website, I wouldnt be calling! So yeh that pissed me off, then I waited another 35 minutes for my call to be answered.
     
    The good part is, the guy that took the call was great. Knew what he was talking about and was really friendly
     
    The moral of this story is....
     
    The next time you cant get on the net.... Visit a website for help!
