I’m a man – sure. I’ve got a girlfriend – check! I go out with the lads – bingo! And I drive a Beemer – cheers! But in the last few years I think there’s been something else a man needs to complete his armoury – a superb internet connection.
As the old saying goes, you’re nobody ’til somebody pings you a seriously large PDF over the email and remains comfortable in the knowledge that you’ll be able to download and view it with ease. I get sent a lot of important documents so it’s vital that my net connection is top drawer. It also comes in handy for the online gaming, naturally. So after absolutely no discussion with her indoors, I opted to get us an SDSL line. Why? Simple. Speed. I can do my downloading without any hassle whatsoever. It’s a Godsend! Also means I can go on Chat Roulette without any slowdown – time to dig out the webcam and have a laugh at some strangers.
I’ve been going down the gym a lot more recently. Started a high-intensity cardio routine which I hope will get me a swimmer’s body by summer. I’ve even bought a couple of small weights to play with while I’m playing blackjack online, and I’ve been clenching during games (admittedly not good during those edge of seat moments).
This week I’m still looking for a new long-term job, but I may postpone it as I’ve got a couple of big meetings coming up. Just been thinking outside the box a lot and figured it’d be best to lay down some creative before these ideas flutter away like nobody’s business. Still haven’t written them down, though – I like to do things on the fly.
I’ve also picked up a digital camera from a friend, and ever since I’ve felt inclined, no POSSESSED, to take pictures of all the little things that make up London. The other day I walked by a bin and took a snap. It was beautiful, man – such a stark image, you know? I’m not even doing it to get commissioned but just because I think beauty is great.
I’ll leave you on this snap:
Ciao!
