What to write is hard sometimes I have not written anything in a while and when I come back to my blog it is not always with a clear defined idea of what to put down.
Got some advice from a friend about my CV. She thought it was not very good so I looked at it again took in her comments and realised she was right. I have now rewritten it. I think i have matured because a few years ago i would not have taken the advice and would have been to busy being angry about how dare she tell me whats good or bad!
And so my epic journey of enlightenment continues.
I have spent some time recently online playing World of warcraft which is why i have not done much on my Blog.
My Character has recently achieved lvl 60 and is now doing the big dungeons in fact this saturday my clan the FurionS is doing its first Molten core raid.
it is interesting to note however that even in this fantasy world people still politic and bitch about things. Even in the online world these things follow us in.
I watched on the news with some interest that nothing has happend which has not happend before.

Packaging
Recently I decided to sell some stuff on eBay. Now I had bought some time ago a controller for a game called steel battalion.
It consists of two joysticks some pedals and a multifunction controller. Now I enjoyed the game mostly because of this controller, which added an immersion I have not had since the arcades. Now. All well and good. But then I came to sell it.
Now it is a collectors piece and not that many were actually made (I bought it because I knew I could make money on it) however before it could be sold I had to test it and all the parts found and put back in the box.
Now putting things back proved the hard part and for a while I was stumped how they did it, now I knew having taken the bits out they could be put back in but finding the solution did take some time and in the end was quite an enjoying challenge.
But it got me to thinking about packaging and I have to admit it is a pet hate of mine. How often I have purchased something and had to get a blowtorch and explosives to get it out is on the increase. Now I am and adult male with good physical ability
And reasonably intelligent but if I have problems getting this stuff open how about kids and the elderly?
I have a theory. In it I believe the companies of the world are trying to make it so hard to get past the packaging that in the end we will give up and just put it somewhere and in time all the products will just be packaging and because we will not be able to open it we will never know that there is nothing in there.
Perhaps they should start making tanks and banks out of the stuff.

Dream
I have been having some odd dreams in one an actress pops into them .Now i have no objection to her popping in but the dreams are to say the least odd.Now in what way could they be odd you ask?
well no doubt you think the dreams are of a sensual or physical nature. No they are not
This one involved who got to keep the dogs, thats right i am having a dream about that. it should be said in the dream i was a bit of an asshole. But why would i have a dream about the end of a relationship and who got to keep the dogs?
Now how am i supposed to interpret about what that means? i have read some books on dream interpretation but nothing about dog custody battles with actresses.
Now the reason why idecided to share the above with you is
1 To get your interpretation on my dream
2 To write about anything that was a little more interesting than what is going on with tony blair and gordon brown.
BEACUSE LIKE A LOT OF NEWS STORIES THEY BORE THE SHIT OUT OF ME AND DO NOT HAVE ANY REAL BEARING ON ANYTHING WHAT SO EVER.
ho hum
