The ice - its slippery

So yea maybe I fell over at ice skating, and yea maybe it was twice... and nearly three times!

But I did it all whilst looking awesome right?!
oh and afterwards I asked the marshal for some stickers,  which I got!

Center Parcs was a great time away where I made some fantastic new friends that I cant wait to see again!

Oh for anyone who reads this and doesn't know.
Paintball season is just around the corner.. so over the next few weeks its back into full fitness mode and time to start tearing it up again. This is the season and I can feel it.

So whilst I am exited about the future, I am so bored of the present. Uni doesn't excite me any more and I have nothing that I am actually motivated to achieve for my corporate / academic self. I just cannot wait to get into the real world and have the pressure on me to actually achieve something.

A short entry tonight, maybe things will change.

Peace

Superheroes and caffeine

So we spent the day celebrating Tristan's birthday. There was a superheroes / villains dress code and everyone wore fantastic costumes!

Since we have been here soooo much time has been spent in the hot tub / sauna / swimming pool that my skin feels like its been bleached!

My fancy dress looked as cool as I had hoped and we took some awesome photos so I guess I should say a little thanks to people who helped get the costume together .... Thanks :)

Jack had an awesome outfit too which made him look even taller! Tristan dressed as robin boy wonder and the girls all looked great... Too much fun fancy dressing!



So yesterday I fell asleep on the sofa.. My answer to that was to drink a glass of coke after our meal so I wouldn't fall back asleep too early..... It worked but I haven't slept all night! I'm still on a caffeine high FFS!!!

So unless I fall asleep half way through this I'm gonna get up and go for a run in 2 hours. After which I will find some photos to put in this post to share the superhero greatness with you wonderful people

Update, I fell asleep.

Peace

Center parcs

So I'm sat here at half 5 in the morning thinking what do I do whilst everyone is asleep... Short answer, Blogging!

The journey up here was pretty damn good! we had the fun-vee which meant AwEsOmE music! On arriving we found that the fun-vee also got here first.. winners!

so we got out the cars and decided to check out the place we would be staying in, we couldn't move in yet as the cleaners hadn't been around. But we did see how fantastic it is.

there is a massive hot tub right next to the door for the sauna and steam room, so we have like a "wet area" which is brilliant. three bedrooms all with en-suites upstairs and one the same downstairs, big old kitchen/ dining room and a big enough lounge for us all to fit in and play twister.

Wait!! wait. where was I?

Oh yea, Epic meal time ain't epic meal time unless we sippin' on a little something something.. am I right player?

Even now on the first morning I am slightly hung over, so this week can only get better right?

Its a bit of a weird experience going away with people you really don't know, lets just hope they don't all hate me by the end of the week.

Bye for now, maybe I will be awake late another night to blog... we shall see.

Peace

Photographs!

So recently I have been getting into my photography, if you fancy it you can always check out some of my favourite work HERE on my Flikr account.

What else has been going on?

Well, I have started playing paint ball a bit again. Although money has been tight since I started back at uni. I played a small event in November where the team came 3rd, considering I have never played with them before I think it went quite well. As always Ray from PaintballPictures did a brilliant job of making me look amazing.

Christmas is here.
This basically means, I am in no way prepared for the things I should have bought by now or the work I should have done. But it does allow me the chance to ruin my sleep pattern as I find myself up until 4am most mornings.

The new Sherlock film!
Having been to see the game of shadows recently I think it was a brilliant film, loads to keep you entertained whether it is action or plot that makes you watch a film.


The website.
It's pretty much done, we are there in terms of what we wanted to achieve with it and are hoping the customer feels the same way.
Once this site is out the way we have another to crack on with so will be busy still.. which I guess is a good thing!

Holidays.
In January I will be going to centre parks with Jack, Georgia and a whole bunch of people I don't know. Which is exiting. I've never been to centre parks before.

Life updates

Sooooo, its been a while again and I'm not sure if I can do enough exiting things to keep writing this but I am willing to give it another try, for the good of anyone who reads my blog!

What's been going on then?!

Well I guess I should cover the summer first, seeing as it was just before the end of uni that I posted.
The end of term came and went without any real problems and I passed every unit last year so that was great!

Over the summer I changed a few things in my life, firstly I got a proper job, y'know one of those 9-5's with a lunch break and a desk. I started to work for a small sound and lighting company called Future Media. and to begin with it was merely answering the phone and making small box sales. Then the MD found out I do computing and got me to work on a database that logs the hours employees have spent doing different jobs (the company had recently gone from doing small jobs that might take a week or two to doing full school and church outfitting which took several weeks or even months).

Pretty much as soon as I started the job I got a fairly decent camera, safe to say that since I bought it were pretty much inseparable. anyone has a party and the camera comes too, any trips I go on, any small events, you name it. One of those things was Campaign Cup 2011 and here is a snap from it.



I got a new bike too, she's a beauty.



I spent a huge amount of time over the summer both on the bike and at body combat classes which has bought me to a physical appearance that I am fairly happy with. The return to uni has pretty much ruined my motivation for working out and so I am just doing 3 classes a week (2 body combat and 1 spinning) all of which are an hour long.

So lets get right up to date!

Me and a close friend Jack have started a web design company, between us we do graphic design and dynamic websites which is a lot of learning for both of us but it is giving us a good knowledge of what we can and can't do. we are P&Bwebsolutions and you can tweet us @pbwebsolutions.. we have no followers at the time of writing *cry*.

Oh yea. before I forget I passed my driving test.. so that's all go now and this is my ride.


OH YEA!

bless your face, if you sneezed during this blog bless you. Toby out (and by Toby i mean me.. and no i dont expect anyone to get the reference).

Another new hat......

So summer is coming and I have probably been spending too much money.

Firstly I bought another hat... this one is more of a summer cap thing as I throw off the beany look for the summer. However i have just purchased a new Paintball beany so I'm pretty exited about that. Cant wait to get back on the field over the summer :)

I also decided to get a pair of on ear headphones instead of in ear ones for a change. They sound pretty damn good but they are a lot more bulky than the tiny in ear ones I am used to.



Uni work

Uni work has gotten SOOO hectic over the past 2 weeks and I have been pretty much working round the clock to get things finished in time for hand ins :(


Films

We went to see Fast Five the other day at the cinema and I think its awesome!
The Fast and Furious films have changed a lot since the original one was released in 2001 but it has been 10 years so the directors have had a fairly hard time trying to make sure they both keep up with trends and make a film that the hardcore fans will enjoy. Here is the trailer for anyone who hasn't seen it

Gone a While

Hey Guys,

So I haven't been blogging in the last few weeks. But a lot has happened.

Firstly seeing as it is so important. I should let you all know I got a new hat (again). But this one is reversible and softer than the cheap one.


So yea here is the new hat, I prefer the black side to be honest (its less bright).

Paintball.
So me and Amberlamps did actually go to train the Southampton University paintball team and this is what we found.

So it was your typical starting team setting up. Although it was chucking it down with rain.
We went through a couple of different things with them.
We chatted about what we were going to do.

Then we chatted some more.

Then we played some games and gave them some feedback. 

Then we showed them a few things. Its always fun to tell people what to do haha!

And then out of nowhere one of the foreign students showed some real promise.
After chatting to him for a while he was invited to play for another team but unfortunately due to him having to travel back to Cyprus every other month he could not dedicate himself to play.

Oh yea!
one more thing, 
Peaks are not only oldschool but also BadAss.


So on to other things I have been doing!

Driving.
Yes that's right I have been learning to drive. I have booked my theory test and hopefully that will go by without too much trouble. Then it is on to the practical and forward to the open road!

My Phone.
The battery has been replaced and I now cant live without either my phone or Facebook. No idea why this has happened but I find myself regularly checking just to see if I have any notifications.
Along with my Facebook addiction I now have a list of sites I have to open up on turning on my computer.

  • Facebook
  • Youtube
  • PaintballPimp
  • NSPL Forums
  • PC Gamer
  • My hotmail account
  • my blogger dashboard
I know I haven't been posting recently but I have tried to keep up to date and read the blogs that are made by other people.

Well that's all for now guys.

hopefully this will be a jump back into the blog for me :)

Next time ... We eat a hornets nest.

Also next time.
