I am writing this on my new laptop, the 1st blog post on the machine, at 08:10am on Wednesday 27th Sept. Why am I up this early? you may ask.... I am not sure really....is this answer.
The bed in my new accommadation is reasonable for a student gaffe and the noise outside isn't that bad all the time!
Anyway, enough of sounding like a whinging bugger. Actually this place is alright I am quite liking settling in to Uni again and caught up with a odd mate since Monday when I came back. Got a course briefing to go to this morning and just hopefully enroled onto my elective for the year but I might have to change it depending on my Journalism timetable and the places on the course.
I am enjoying the freedom again, being my own man and I even made myself a "proper" tea last night....Cheese Pie and Beans= can't beat it. Aaahhh the student life. :)

Centre Parks
Firstly, I am back to University in less than two weeks now and I remember at the start of the summer thinking it would be an eternity but actually the time since May hasn't seemed like it.
I am looking forward to catching up with Uni friends, seeing my new accommadation etc but think I'm going to miss nights out with my mates at home and the general stuff that we do!!
Anyway, tomorrow I am going with my mum and dad to Centre Parks...why you may ask?? Fuck knows is the answer! Shouldn't be that bad really, I used to enjoy it when I went as a young kid but I am pre-judging or I am going to be a bit bored Friday while Monday?
There is a 80's disco night on Saturday but I wasn't around for much of the 80's. A few bevvies and I'll be dancing like a pro whatever the music!
At least I am doing something, I wouldn't have got up off my arse otherwise so I suppose its worth it and after all how bad could it be....?? :

R.I.P Steve Irwin
What can I say? = I was driving home early this morning and heard the news on Radio 1.
He was a man who died at home in his natural habitat and doing what he lived for.
Steve Irwin, 44, died after being struck in the chest by the stingray's barb while he was filming a documentary in Queensland's Great Barrier Reef.
It gets its name from the razor-sharp barb at the end of its tail, coated in toxic venom, which the animal uses to defend itself with when it feels threatened.
The crew called for medical treatment, it arrived but they were unable to save him. stingray venom is rarely lethal and it would have been the wound caused by the barb itself, which could measure up to 20cm long, which proved fatal
I know he was controversial at times, but what he did to promote nature in Australia and doing what he did best was really quite something.
He risked his life several times to educate, inform and certainly entertain the watching public.
I think its shows how he reached across the world by the number of people from all over the world are paying their respects to him and many a website has already been set up to leave tributes on.

Aa is for Andre Agassi
What can I say about one of the greatest sportsman ever finally bringing an end to one of the best sporting careers ever?
If you don't know Andre Agassi's 20-year career ended in a 5-7 7-6 (7-4) 4-6 5-7 defeat to German qualifier Benjamin Becker at the US Open today, about an hour ago in fact.
In his defeat he bowed to all four sides of the court for the last time and was VERY emotional.
I have to admit, rather sheepishly, I was struggling to keep dry eyes and was unable to change channel as I got caught up in the moment.
60 ATP titles and eight Grand Slams= What a record. And for a certain Pete Sampras it could have been so much better, what a fight both men had over the years.
It was not his best match by a long long way, but a battling performance from a 36-year old who prior to the game had been given a cortazone injection was a fitting tribute.
A sad end to his illustrious career. A true sports great and the ovation he got was thoroughly deserved. It will be a massive shame if he doesn't play in any senior events...but I am sure he will.
