It was a tin with "50 Places to visit before you die" in it.<br />
I've always kept it on my desk, as a little reminder that there is a huge world out there for me to explore, and hopefully some day, I'll get to visit them. I've put them in some kind of order, starting with the ones closest to me.<br />
<br />
Anyway, here are the first 10.<br />
<br />
<b>1. </b><b>Edinburgh at Hogmanay</b><br />
<b>2. </b><b>The FA Cup Final at Wembley Stadium, London</b><br />
<b> 3. Holy Island, (Lindisfarne)</b><br />
<b>4. The Chelsea Flower Show in London</b><br />
<b>5. County Cork in Ireland to kiss the Blarney Stone</b><br />
<b>6. Wimbeldon's centre court in London on Men's Finals day of the annual tennis championship</b><br />
<b>7. The Lake District national park in Cumbria, North West England</b><br />
<b>8. London's Royal Albert Hall for the last night of the Proms</b><br />
<b>9. The Giants Causeway in Antrim, Northern Ireland</b><br />
<b>10. Italy to visit the remains of Hadrians Villa and Gardens at Tivoli </b>ElChristohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16572059003951862791noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7525655764141217234.post-10749705272370764252010-12-09T15:08:00.000-08:002010-12-09T15:08:43.011-08:00Im back!Its been nearly 2 months since my last post, but here is my excuse,<br />
I got a bit of a late acceptance into a Business course. So late, that everone else had been at it for about a month. So I had quite a bit to catch up on.<br />
<br />
Anyways, I've just ordered a Hauppauge HD PVR, and i'm going to join the thousand nobodies who make COD commentaries on youtube.<br />
Got a mate who is gonna do it with me. Sort of a dual commentary thing. One day it will be me, the next him. Anyways, thats all for now. I'll probably do a little review once the PVR has arrived, my initial thoughts and what not.<br />
<br />

Hello everyone!<br />
Sorry I haven't posted in a few days. I had to catch up with some college work, and to wind down from that I reactivated my subscription to Eve Online!<br />
<br />
Anyone else play this game?<br />
I played for about 3-4 months before stopping. Its been about 3 months since I played it, and I'm enjoying my return! In the 3 months of my absence, everyone I knew on it have advanced pretty far! The main dude who helped me through my first paces was pretty well off when I met him, but now he's totally pimped with near enough all the best ships in the game!<br />
<br />
If you're unaware of Eve Online. Its set f*ck knows how far into the future, and everyone has their own ship. You learn skills like gunnery, mining, manufacturing, scanning, loads of stuff! In order to get better ships, you need better skills.<br />
<br />
You can also start up a Corporation (Like a Guild in WoW), and from what I've heard, its like running a business! You have to pay a regular fee to stay open, you can tax your Corp members, you can expand, you can open your own space stations. Its pretty damn awesome!<br />
<br />
Anyways, I'm enjoying the game. So I my future posts might be more Eve Online based.<br />
<br />
How has everyone else been? :)ElChristohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16572059003951862791noreply@blogger.com26tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7525655764141217234.post-61632438088483752332010-10-17T10:29:00.000-07:002010-10-17T10:30:15.444-07:00Jack Daniels...<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.timeidol.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/Jack-Daniels-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="http://www.timeidol.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/Jack-Daniels-1.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">Not tasted this beautiful beverage in a year or so now. </div><div style="text-align: center;">Drank a bottle last night at a party, and it was glorious!</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">Last night was pretty damn rare. It was a 21st at my friends farmhouse in the middle of no-where. No neighbours telling us to keep the noise down. He had hired a DJ to entertain the family until about 11-12, when another friend took to the stage. This is the first time i've seen/heard my mate DJ, and he was pretty damn good! He knew exactly what he was doing, and he was in his element! You can check some tracks he's made here: <a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/barrientosmusic">http://www.youtube.com/user/barrientosmusic</a><br />
<br />
I've always had an interest in DJing, never taking the plunge into buying the gear. But my mate explained its not too expensive for beginners, if you just buy second hand. So today i've been looking at classified websites, and I've seen a couple of deals that wont be too pricey!</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">Also at the party, there was a huge bon fire, a free burger van, a big tent...it was awesome.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">This is not much of a post, but I felt like sharing my renewed love for Jack Daniels!</div>ElChristohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16572059003951862791noreply@blogger.com55tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7525655764141217234.post-13725636476543777102010-10-15T18:46:00.000-07:002010-10-15T18:46:40.006-07:00FarmVille<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.orble.com/images/farmville-logo1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="151" src="http://www.orble.com/images/farmville-logo1.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />
Anyone else addicted to this little game?<br />
<br />
When I first discovered it a year or 2 ago, cant quite remember when, I became addicted to it. But as I got more focused in my college work, I started to fade away from it a little. Only checking every couple of days or so.<br />
<br />
But now i'm at the stage where when i'm out about in Town or wherever, I think to myself "My crops will be ready in 20 minutes, should start heading home". I never act on those thoughts though. I don't rush home, and rush onto facebook. I just carry on with my day.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div>But as I was updating my farm there, I realised how much time i've wasted on it... I mean look at that picture! Thats hours, days, MONTHS of work...All for a little plaque that only about 5 people see!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIODmC6hsjadJrBFak8gsrrk5nbpwd3AJnIN7lUsm71zu9JHF2gdKDEyjktDMuWrZDU4SjFjBSnnLPIMcJtUbCmc-ATfn683kI6RtHiVLBwAnZGYi781PXDpezUMjyh7EXkzSu3hnKRyY/s1600/farmvillemastery.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIODmC6hsjadJrBFak8gsrrk5nbpwd3AJnIN7lUsm71zu9JHF2gdKDEyjktDMuWrZDU4SjFjBSnnLPIMcJtUbCmc-ATfn683kI6RtHiVLBwAnZGYi781PXDpezUMjyh7EXkzSu3hnKRyY/s400/farmvillemastery.png" width="400" /></a></div>I reserved a little spot on my farm for my mastery signs...and I've nearly filled it up! The signs are packed quite close together as well!<br />
<br />
Theres soo much more crops to master! Not enough space! Ahhh! What will I do?!<br />
<br />
Stop playing?...hm....thats a possibility...<br />
<br />
Just a note however. I plan the timing of the crops carefully. I plant certain ones, for times I know i'll be home and able to tend to them...I just...need a fix...you know...every now and then!ElChristohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16572059003951862791noreply@blogger.com30tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7525655764141217234.post-46509268223218682702010-10-13T16:47:00.000-07:002010-10-13T16:47:08.193-07:00Boardwalk Empire<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.slashfilm.com/wp/wp-content/images/boardwalk-empire-hbo-poster.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://www.slashfilm.com/wp/wp-content/images/boardwalk-empire-hbo-poster.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">Boardwalk Empire is a new HBO TV show, set in Atlantic City during the 1920's Prohibition Era.</div><br />
<div style="text-align: left;">Steve Buscemi plays Enoch Thompson, the Treasurer of Atlantic City. He has his finger in near enough every business in Atlantic City, as well as controls the illegal importation of Alcohol from various sources. The show follows him around the city, interacting with the large cast of characters.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">Noteble characters are <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_%22Lucky%22_Luciano">Charles 'Lucky' Luciano</a> ( the "father of modern organised crime" ), <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al_Capone">Al Capone</a>, and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arnold_Rothstein">Arnold Rothstein</a>. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">Written by some of the people behind the HBO Hit, The Sopranos. And the first episode is directed by the main man himself, Martin Scorsese. The mix of talent comes through in the show, with a mix of comedy, drama and action.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">After watching the first few episodes back to back, I cant help but feel there is something missing.</div><div style="text-align: left;">Even though I was enjoying the watch, I couldn't help but be distracted by my surroundings. I wasn't too caught up with the show, like I was with The Sopranos.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">Either way, its still early in the series, and I wish them luck!</div>ElChristohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16572059003951862791noreply@blogger.com36tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7525655764141217234.post-76874924561637780922010-10-12T14:25:00.000-07:002010-10-12T14:25:01.129-07:00Stargate SG-1<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQC87vFGaO4fLq86yOhnYJu_F69q0X6wmpnkLXq7fMkRZXMaC8VlSqG69CWzAQs-iqMoJasqTarTN2CwQBv-Flab76CX4m4P8jmqJv4xKCzzlYhN3XJubp2HT-e5VyHKBouK9RrjuCrjk/s1600/sg1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="158" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQC87vFGaO4fLq86yOhnYJu_F69q0X6wmpnkLXq7fMkRZXMaC8VlSqG69CWzAQs-iqMoJasqTarTN2CwQBv-Flab76CX4m4P8jmqJv4xKCzzlYhN3XJubp2HT-e5VyHKBouK9RrjuCrjk/s400/sg1.jpg" width="400" /> </a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Anyone else a fan of Stargate?</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">This picture is of my Stargate SG-1 magazine collection.

<br />
Even though i've said I've thought up quite a bit of material to post, I'm actually struggling to type it up.<br />
And I want to try and at least post somethign new every day.<br />
So I might treat this a little bit like a diary. But only post things that other people might find interesting, rather than my feelings and other gay sh*t.<br />
<br />
So hopefully i'll be posting at least once a day :)ElChristohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16572059003951862791noreply@blogger.com10tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7525655764141217234.post-47302488681826443532010-10-08T15:53:00.000-07:002010-10-08T15:53:28.539-07:00Fallout Pt. 1I've been working on this little story for just over a week now, so I've allready got a bit of it written down. But I'll only post up segments at a time, so I don't overdo it, and run out of things to post in the future.<br />
<br />
After playing Fallout 3 for about 2 weeks solid, I've became fascinated with life after a nuclear war. So I've started living one in my mind, he he. I've thought up different variations for near enough all the main scenes in it, but I'll go with my most recent one.<br />
<br />
<br />
My family is over at my house for Sunday dinner. My brothers, their kids, my parents, everyone.<br />
<br />
<br />
We're enjoying our meal, then our radio turns itself on, and there's an announcement. Saying Russia or China or whoever have launched nukes at us! And they will land in 20 minutes..<br />
<br />
<br />
I keep a level head, and take charge. I order everyone down into the basement, except me and my brothers. I then proceed to take some buckets out of a closet, and start filling them with water in the kitchen. At the same time handing a box to one of my brothers, telling him to fill it with all the food in the house. I tell my other brother to fill the rest of the buckets, and take everything down stairs. I then run around the house grabbing torches, batteries, clothes and general stuff one would possibly need to survive.<br />
<br />
<br />
I meet everyone down stairs in the basement, and catch my breath while checking my watch. "We've got 5 minutes, not bad".<br />
Then one of my brothers is all like "We've got to get in our cars and drive! The city centre is like 5 miles away! We'll be f**ked if a bomb lands there!"<br />
I reassure everyone that we're going to be ok. I then walk to a big sturdy fire door, with a coded lock and keyhole. I reach above the door frame, and get a key. Then unlock the door while entering the code.<br />
<br />
<br />
We go through, and walk down another flight of stairs, and then there's one of those big ass doors, with the wheel in the middle. Like in a submarine.<br />
I turn it, and open the door. I turn the lights on, and welcome everyone to my kick ass luxury bunker, like <a href="http://www.alpinesurvival.com/HEX4-1465-TOUR-7mb.wmv">THIS</a>.<br />
<br />
<br />
I close the door behind me, check my watch, then mention the bombs will be falling any minute now.<br />
<br />
<br />
Everyone is still in shock and can't really speak...then there's a huge rumble, then the lights go out...ElChristohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16572059003951862791noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7525655764141217234.post-33963413264008008642010-10-07T17:37:00.000-07:002010-10-07T17:43:14.205-07:00This blog...Hello world!<br />
Every day, whenever I have to pass some time on my own, or are generally bored with what I'm doing. I think up strange little stories in my head. If I like the story, I continue it, and add to the story next time I'm bored.<br />
<br />
So instead of just thinking them up, then usually forgetting about them in a week or so. I'm going to start documenting them on here!<br />
<br />
I'll give them titles, so if I decide to add to them at a later date, you'll know.<br />
<br />
One I've been working on lately is surviving a nuclear apocalypse or something similarly disastrous. I just started playing the game Fallout 3 recently, and its freaking awesome!<br />
So that will probably be the first story I make up.ElChristohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16572059003951862791noreply@blogger.com3
