No more

From now on I'm not going to post everyday, I'll only post when there's anything worth saying which is a tiny bit interesting. Or when i do post I'll catch you up on what I did.
Soo, yesterday i didn't do much, i woke up at 12 didn't go outside, was a bit depressed because the weather was bad. I spent most of the day trying to get my phone back after a ROM failing. At night I played APB reloaded, I'm getting quite good at it now and used to the controlls and i know how to put on different clothes.
Today the weather's not as bad but still bad. However today i have successfully put a Rom on My GT-S5830 and i now know how to do it. I just watched Texas Chainsaw and what a weird Film. Who would think of something like that. Later I will probably play more APB .

2-now

Today I got up at 11 and then didn't do anything (apart from eat my coco pops) until 2, when i had my lunch then went to a friends and played Fifa, Tony Hawk and Black Operations 2. Then i played tennis for 15 minutes, went home and had dinner, went on my PC and attempted to play APB reloaded, found out how to skip the intro (Esc) but the game keeps crashing, makes no difference if graphics on med or low. I'm going to play it some more

mmm relaxed

Today I haven't had to worry about anything like homework or football matches as it's half term, seasons over, it was a sunny day to do do what I want. First I had toast for breakfast, went cycling (on a Family Trail), got home, went on my PC, went for a cycle to have a look at some tennis courts, had dinner and best of all I went to play tennis at the courts with my new racket. Once I got back I had some more toast and then a lovely shower and now I'm going to bed.

Sting ultra, my new racket

Today i woke up looking at my alarm clock thinking, if my racket comes today it will come around now, a few minutes later, knock knock on the door, I got out of bed opened the window (all blurry eyes, it was bright) and there was the deviery man with my tennis racket, he asked if he should leave it by the door which i said yes, thank you too and then I went and got it. It's really light and the strings aren't too tight. Here's a pic (with the shock absorber on wrong). I then went shopping, got some school trousers and shoes.

Vinyl wrap fork attempt

Here is my attempt to Vinyl Wrap some forks, it hasn't gone well at all, it doesn't look too bad in this photo but it is. I don't have a clue what to do now, try getting rid of the huge lumps/bubbles, peel it of and reapply or just start again, but if I did that would it be any better?

What Is Your Favourite Time Of Year?

As i said i would i got the mock exam back and I did really well, lol joke. I got 28 out of 80 which is probably a Fail, my English Language Exams F*cked, but I'm not alone, we just had a really bad teacher who told us how to do everything wrong so we don't get any marks. I got 4 on q1, 2 on q2, 0 on q3, 4on q4, 8 on q5 and 10 on q6. I'm going to type out exactly my q5 as it was 'write a blog'

Write an entry for your blog describing your favourite time of year and explaining why you like it.

The Best Time Of Year
Most people have a favourite choice of things, prehaps blue ink to black ink; typing to handwriting; a favourite colour; favourite band; favourite T.V show or prehaps a favourite meal, the list goes on and on. But whats your favourite time of year? It's not the easiest question to answer, there all great in there own way.
You have spring, when the sun gets stronger, the plants begin to grow, there's so much beautiful new life everywhere. You get all the small flowers filling the fields, young lambs jumping around, friendly calf's exploring there new world out in the open fresh air.
But once spring gets into full swing it turns into summer, when it's so warm outside; you get a lovely tan; it's light until late and you can spend all day outside. If you have Hay-fever to all of the pollen blowing about in spring then summer will be perfect. What I love about summer is having a long day out in the heat and finishing by having a cool swim in an outdoor swimming pool.
If your not into the heat of the summer sun then maybe autumn is for you. It's reasonably warm and the suns not too strong so you wont need sun-cream. You often get that gorgeous warm breeze in your face which is so relaxing and calming. Soon into autumn the leaves on the tree's turn golden and begin to fall. This is a great time of year to get on your wellies and take your dog for a walk and let it play in the huge piles of leaves .
The final season is winter, when you can wrap up warm in all of your winter clothes and go outside. If you get up early you can get some breathtaking photo's of frost on cobwebs, fields of white frost. If your lucky it might even snow, then you wrap up even warmer and go out for a walk to your local shops, no cars on the road. When you get back you can have an open fire which roars and blasts heat while soothing with it's glow.
Now to answer the question, my favourite time of year is summer, I love getting a slight tan, wearing T-shirt and shorts, staying outside all day, swimming outside, camping and going for long bike rides.
You know my favourite time of year but what's yours? (comment bellow)

Rubix 05

I've just finished the rubix cube i got for christmas in 2005, the day i got it my older brother mudled it up completley before i had the chance to follow the guide and learn how to do them. Finally i have done it! Without taking off the stickers!... But i still cheated, i took out the blocks and rebuilt, it wasn't easy though. It took half an hour. Now i can learn how to do it the way i want (i dont have the manual). The Christmass i got this i asked for a nintendo game cube but got a rubix cube. Christmas 05 was the worst christmass in my life

k33p it short

First of all a big hello to those of you from the USA, UK, Russia and Germany because there the top countries who view my Blog.

In need of half term

Yes, i'm still tired, i'm going to bed to late and the same will happen tonight. I'm too tired to write about what happened earlier today and can't really remember. This evening i had football training and now It's 11 and i've just watched Fast and Furious 6, there's more storyline behind it than normal but not enough about the cars and no relationship with them unlike fast and furious 1 where there was brian's green mitsubishi? and then he got that amazing Toyota supra (the orange one) probably my favourite car. But Brian didn't drive a skyline in this film, there was also a lack on street racing, mod's to cars with laptops controlling the Nitros Oxide, no load music and worst of all when Dom and Letty were having a race the police is there vauxhall were just as quick. But overall it was good, i love the Fast and Furious films.

10.70 racket

Today was okay, got out of a detention by lieing, the teacher asked for my mark in the homework and i made it up. I had done the homework but would have got a detention for it being late. This afternoon I received some solder and gear cable in the post. I put the gear cable on my front brake, lets hope it wont Break. Finaly i bought a tennis racket of ebay for £10.70, its a Wilson ultra cs (used obviously). I show you a pic when it arrives, cant wait. Bye, I'm still really tired.

Pretty rubish day

I got to sleep about 1 this morning and had to get up at 7 so i got about 6 hours sleep which isn't enough. So i have been tired today, bit disappointing with the weather. Today was just a boring day. All I've done this evening is try and fix my micro SD card (hasn't worked) and watched some video's on YouTube. I want to play truck simulator to see if it will cheer up my day but i haven't got time.
on the brighter side you get a big font because i didn't write much.

Think i've caught the cycling bug again

since I've been cycling yesterday every time I've been outside I've went for a cycle or been quickly repairing my bike then getting back on it. I've also been recording a bit while testing my mini dv camera here's a pic cause i know you love them
i Have the Black one. so I've been trying to figure out the best place to put it, i think it's on my helmet but i haven't got any decent footage of me riding with it on there (the camera was facing the ground).
 i've cycled 18 miles yesterday and 19 today, its not much but my bikes not in full working order. I was going to go on a proper bike ride but my brake cable broke, well the inside of the outer cable ripped through the Ferrell and F4cked up, so i got another outer cable and put a thing on the end (don't know what its called) which came with the cable (i didn't know what it was for and didn't think it would fit in the brake leaver). I've had quite a good day today apart from i haven't done any homework and I've got a lot due in :-( 
here i am cycling with the camera on the handlebars (very very bumpy) and boring to watch

m Yay my bike

Today i took my bike out for its first ride since the last owner had. It's not finished but it goes, it took be a while to get used to getting the cleats in the pedals and keeping them in there, i then made it a little harder to put them in (with adjuster) and couldn't get them in and gave up. It's great to be on a road bike again but this ones so much smaller than my old one even though its a medium. I need to do a bit of adjusting as its not that comfortable as my back aches after 10 miles. The bad bit of my day are that my 64gb micro SD cards broke, it needs formatting but nothing can do it.
here's a pic of my bike  i own copyright of the pic and if you use it your breaking the law.

-_-

I'm tired, its Friday, woke up tired, rushed to get everything ready which luckily i did. Played tennis which wasn't that good because everyone had there rackets and the courts were full so it was hard to get a good rally going. Had the second part of my English mock, skipped/skimmed q 2, 3 and definitely 4 but q 5 (writing) is pretty good, you have to write a blog about what your favorite time of year is (not season, probably because of the salt, pepper thing). I wish i could actually put it on here, if we get the mocks back i will.
In the evening i downloaded Daft Punk's new album Random Access Memories then through on some clothes and went to my football presentation evening (then realized i looked like a mong and should of worn something else). But that was good, better than nothing. yea, tired -_-

20th Post... mmmeh

Hello exclusive reader, i get about 8 views a day and the average time spent on this blog is 5 secs so most people wont read anything. But if you are reading your exclusive, I'm pleased for you and you should be proud that you may be the first and only reader of this post (apart from me), and when my blog gets popular you will be one of the pure bloods to observe this rare content.
Do you like my English skills, had half a mock GCSE today and i'm doing quite bad, we were supposed to do 1, 2, 3 and for and i just did 1 and 2. I need to manage the time better.
This evening i made a youtube vid on how to stop start up items (msconfig.exe is the answer). Then i went on fruity loops now called fl studio and made a tune to go with it. Finally played Euro trucker again. That game is scary how it feels like real life, i get scared borrowing £100 000, getting into debt and damaging my truck. What i don't like about the demo is that i get speeding tickets when I'm not speeding. Please bookmark my blog

Euro undercover

Today i had to use my Japanese graphite racket which is heavy, i didn't even use it much because the courts were full. This evening i installed NFS undercover, (didn't realize it was so old, 2008) and played it for a while. I was hoping to use my wheel on it but there was no support for my wheel so i had to use the keyboard. It's really easy though which is quite good. I wish the tablet NFS mostwanted was like it, complete one race and have enough money. On my tablet you have to do the same race 3 times to get enough money to buy a car. The graphics for the game are quite bad, similar to PSP when i had it on that but at least you can customize the cars a little bit.
The first have of my title comes from the other game i downloaded and played (Euro Trucker Demo). I was hoping to use my wheel for that but the pedals wouldn't work as accelerator or brake. I used the keyboard with difficult as when you push turn the wheels go as much as they can and the Lorry tips over. You have to keep tapping an arrow key which isn't smooth and not very nice. It takes a while to get used to driving a truck. Took me 10 mins to get out the car park and even then i went down a road the wrong way as soon as i got out the car park (used to American games). Fed up of reversing (from the car park) and with no room to turn around i had to go forward. I drove up on top of a car like a monster truck, but i got stuck, for half an hour trying to get off. I got into (euro)5000 debt and in total caused 130 000 euro's of damage to the truck. But by the end i got the hang of it.

:0 I forgot Mondays post

oh well, i'l stop thinking about yesterday and think about today. We have our old school bus again, i played tennis as usual but snapped my strings because I've got too much power. I'l use my pencil (graphite) racket tomorrow until i get a new one. This evening i got out my steering wheel and tried to play Raceroom experience. I failed at that however i did fix the calibration on the wheel which makes me slightly upset with memories of Midnight Club LA when i had my ps3. I used to use my wheel, turn off radio, turn up volume loud, go close to the t.v, change camera view and pretend i was driving. after a week with the wheel it broke! (so i thought). Being huge i wasn't going to return it to amazon. Ever since its been sat in a cupboard. i fixed it my pushing the program button then pulling out the USB cable. I didn't really do much else apart from waste time on Facebook etc.

Most People Save the best till last

Today i woke up at 9, very tired cause i went to sleep at 2 after watching 21 & over (its a film although it sounds like a porn website). It was pretty good and worth staying up for. Anyway, once i woke up i went to a car boot to see if i could buy a keyboard (music) but there weren't any there. I bought a crappy mouse in the end for a pound. It was pretty poor to be honest, the whole car boot. Once i returned home i played Black operations, had lunch and then had the title.
       I play for a football (called soccer if your gay) team who have been having our worst season ever, usually people save the best for last but today was the last game of the season and it was on of our worst 0-9 (at home). Once home i had dinner and played black ops (im really dreadful at the game). Thats it.

Saturday 11 May 2013

Black Operations

Today I did my usual weekend thing, wake up, play need for speed most wanted on my tablet. Have coco pops for breakfast and watch T.v (formula 1, German touring thing and rally) then go on my computer. I then cycled to the post office to post the pedals got back and played Black Ops 2. Today I'm using a crappy wired keyboard and mouse but its better than all the lag and inconsistency of the wireless. After playing Black Operations 2 i went to town again then when i got back i played Black ops again. I'm getting used to the keyboard and mouse a little bit now.

It F*cking works!

The derailleur works almost perfectly, it just needs a little tweak with a screwdriver and shifting will be as smooth as can be. I'm so happy that my bike is pretty much complete, Its taken such along time and so much works been put into it. I had to cry to get the frame for my birthday which was back in August, my dad was completely against it and so was my mum... until i cried and my mum felt bad so she let me get it. I laughed so much once it worked (my plan of crying). I'm not going to show you a picture of my bike on the blog yet as i somehow feel you don't deserve it. Instead it will be put on bikeradar tomorrow.
       Something unusual happened today, i got something unexpected in the post. It was a set of SPD pedals. They immediately looked familiar and i knew where i had seen them, on ebay. These were my second option if i didn't win the ones i did. The person i bought my pedals off was selling these ones too and sent them to me by mistake. Being an honest person i ebay messaged him to arrange forwarding the package on to the right owner.
       Another unusual (but awesome) thing has happened aswell. Black Ops II Multiplayer has came out free for two days (on steam). My weekend sorted.

Derailliuer / rear mech fixing

So today my broken rear mech came in the post
Here you cab see that the jockey wheels are pointing up (the wrong way) and part of the cage is completely broken (torn off), you also cant see that 2 of the teeth on one jockey wheel have ripped off. what made the up pointing derailleur worse was that the spring sprung the wrong way, instead of pulling the wheels down and back they would pull up and forward as in picture.
As you can see in the title i managed to partially fix it, i didn't weld or sellotape the ripped of part back on and together. Instead i used some parts of old mtb rear mechs. Took an old jockey wheel of a shimano alvio mech and the (long) cage of a shimano deore.
                                               And LOOK AT IT NOW!
                                   (yes, i know the chains a bit small)
All fixed (i hope), i haven't tightened the gear cable and tested the gears yet, I'm not sure if it will work or not but I'll be so happy if it works perfectly.

Day at weston

Today it was wet as predicted, luckily it wasn't raining when the bus took me to school, but there was some water on the roof which leaked through the duct tape. Anyway, i got to weston super mare by coach and playing 'eye spy' which i won without using any hard ones such as aluminium or nylon, instead i won with things such as watch. This was a geography trip and we had to take pictures to put in coursework, i took about 20 but most of them are of buildings, Here is a picture of the old pier (which your not allowed on)

I had a good day and a 99p cheeseburger to end my day at weston.
hmm, i wonder if google translate would translate weston super mare to weston super beach because mare is beach in french.

new old bus

yea, today was good, new (old) school bus, but its double decker and i admit its a little bit scary, driving through tiny country lanes, smacking into branches, going around tight corners and all that time the bus is held together by duct tape (honestly), the bus is covered in it and on the top left corner (closest to trees) there is 4 new bits of metal and you can see where the bus has been battered, on the inside there is duct tape over that area. Trust me, the bus is shit, the suspension  is really soft and feels like it bottoms out and hits the wheels as your constantly rocking back and forth. Its also a little embarrassing that its so old and dirty, looks like it came from a scrapyard. But to be honest it is quite fun (like a roller coaster). It was also lovely weather today, hot and sunny but unfortunately its supposed to rain tomorrow and I'm going to western super mare.

bank holiday monday

Well, i had a nice lie in this morning, coco pops for breakfast, done some swapping with wheels, went to cheltenham, had a failed barbeque, pretty much my bank holiday Monday in one sentence. And do you like the new design and my layout change (translate gadget) so people from other countries can read my blog in their language. You might have been expecting a huge design change but there not much point if 8-9 people view my blog a day and no one responds to survey things. I'l attempt to make a nice design when i get 10 000 pageviews. I'm feeling very malnourished because i haven't had any fruit toady, that's why i haven't really wrote much on what i done. BBQ fail = barbequets instead of charcoal, you understand.

Team Fortres 2

yesterday i said i was going to play team fortress, instead i did an update which took half an hour and i watched Shameless. But today i had a go on it and boy do i hate it. Partly because I'm so bad at it, i never kill many people and spend most of my time watching the re spawn screen. But what makes it worse is i don't know why I'm so bad, i think its partly the type of game (strange weapons). I'm good at games with normal weapons, like call of duty, call of juraz, Gta, james bond etc. I'm okay at Halo but i don't like it because of the future weapons and strength things. So i have deleted team fortress and I'm downloading some other kind of future fps game but I'm hoping this one will be better. You may be thinking 'if you like COD so much why don't you just play that?', the answer is that Steam don't have Cod for free but they do have a load of future games. I also like racing games, particularly midnight club and other games where you can completely customize and upgrade all your cars. I have also downloaded some racing game. For those of you from bikeradar (there are some, its in my traffic sources) i measured my road bike chain today, there supposed to be 24 links to 12" if its any more than that throw away the chain. Mines 23 links to 12", that's a lot of stretching, the person i bought it of said it had only done 100 miles.

Saturday 4 May 2013

I did it

I removed the seals on my forks with a big flat screwdriver thing, but it was massive. Since then i haven't really done much, went to 'adventureland' which was a hill. Bought a broken rear derailleur on ebay, why?  cause they said they weren't sure if it was working 100%. but after i looked at other derailleurs and realized this one was f*cked . Going to play Team Fortres now or some online shooter.

linked avec mon bikeradar profile

Hello, I've just put a link to my website (this blog) on my profile on Bikeradar. One of my biggest hobbies and interests is cycling so as this is my blog i thought I'd tell you. Lately I've been trying to take some seals of my forks which is supposed to be quite simple but mine are kind of stuck and barely move, I'm also trying to set up some cables on my road bike. I'll let you know later if   when i get them off and how. If your thinking 'this post is so random' its just in case people click on my blog from bikeradar and think 'this has got nothing to do with bikes'. I also thought i should let you know its one of my hobbies.

rekindle

is my title even a word? what i the titles supposed to mean is re-learning something you already knew. today i played on my guitar which i haven't played on for ages. looked up how to play part of a song and played a bit. Apart from that i don't really know what I've done this evening, the time seems to have vanished, probably because I'm tired and do everything really slow. This is all for today's short post, I'm going to watch a film before i go to sleep now.
 Here's what i played today on my guitar

Do or Should I?

Hello Blog readers, as you've seen more blogs than i have i'l ask you for some advice. Should i post everyday? even if i dont have that much to talk about? what are you interested in? Should i use my blog as a sort of diary and tell you what happened in my day? i'l try and put a question gadget in so i can find out what you want to see. On a more common subject today as a snack i made pancakes, 3. But i put a little bit of self raising flower in. it basically just made the insides gooey. I'm not going to do it again. This is all for today, not very much but i need to get to sleep and i think this post is better than none. Hope you read my post tomorrow. Bye

stuck to my target

I have done well, and stuck to my target of changing the layout and design of my blog before the weekend and so far it hasn't changed. I haven't went and surprised you by doing it early. tonight i had football (soccer if your gay) training so couldn't do much on the internationalnetwork or internet. I haven't got much to talk about apart from one of my many experiments. So now your probably wondering if i'm a scientist :-) but no, its experiments with food. and no, i don't blow food up or anything like that. just try new things, like ketchup and icecream mixed together (i'd never do that it would be disgusting, just someone i know had it). But i don't always just eat new things, sometimes i snort them (if snorts the right word), like you would with cocaine. However today i ate wholegrain nutty seedy toast with olive spread and PAPARIKA/chilli powder. It was quite nice and i'l certainly have it again. I also snorted some paparika, that's quite good aswell because it gives you this warm feeling in your nose and lasts for ages, its not too strong either so wont burn my nose. So thats probably the most exciting/unusual thing today.
woo, looking at the analyitics* i seem to be averaging 10 views per day which is better than none.
*the spell check tells me its wrong but doesn't give me the right spelling.

Just need to add this, HAPPY MAY DAY
