  I tell you what...

  My life at the moment is screwwwwwed up! one; my nan has got heart failure and so her organs are shutting down, so its a matter of time before before she passes, I've had 2 weeks off of college due to being ill and then visiting my nan to basically say goodbye. " weeks off of college is like spending 3 months off of work, I've got s*tloads of work to catch up on, and I need to speak to my tutor about getting that in but because He's a lazy b*tch he didn't phone a week back to try and sort it out which means I have to try and explain stuff even more and he's going to be angry because there hasn't been any word from me, even though he prmised that he'd get in touch to sort out deadlines etc. I've actually made a chart of work that needs to be done and I've set dates to do the work on, and I'm going to try and make a deal where I get the outstanding work in by the 1st day after half-term. Apart from that I've got problems with my bike again. the wheel is doing the same thing it's done before which is its leaking air. there's corrosion on the rim and its such an effort to fix that, I figured it would be easier to just buy another rim, but lo and behold.. I have no money! YAY! So I've had to have another day off of college to fix my bike, I've got £7 in my account and so have only got 1 weeks worth of petrol to use and thats it. It shouldn't be too bad becuase half term is so soon, but its still a pain being in such a tight spot.

  Luckily however homebase have finally started recruiting so my mate Theo is getting me an application form and I'm going to hopefully be employed before All my cash runs out. From there things can only go up... Unless like usual things go horribly wrong, and my life is hold again...

  Now I know I sound so depressing talking about all my problems and stuff but I have to get this out because its so dam frustrating!

  That aside; on the gaming front I'm just over halfway through need for speed most wanted. I'm still finding the game extremely fun! and I'm up againt ming, and I'm going to steal his gallardo from him! I also couldn't wait to finish this so I had a quick go on carbon, and realised the game sucks balls! the car models are crap, and nothing about the game is good. for example I went to do-up a DB9 and the restrictions on what I could do was incredible. I couldn't do fugger all, its a bad game and I won't be doing that little marathon I planned. Instead I'm going to recreate my favourite blacklist racer cars on prostreet. I love jades mustang gt, and when I'm older and have lots of money, I'm going to recreate it in real life!

  I've also recently got Kirby Super Star Ultra, and by gosh its such a brilliant game. Not only that It's really hard too! I've always wanted a really hard Kirby game, and I've finally got it. I'm loving it even though it gets annoying. I recommend this game very lots to anyone who hasn't played a Kirby game, it'll blow your mind. I'll have to make a review of it soon. although I've got one final thing to do on the game to complete it. And then I'll go on to 100% some other time.

  So yeh thats is for now, off to do work, make a proper work chart, and to maybe play some games; later,

  Jamie.

  Flames are re-kindled!

  I've started playing Need for Speed Most wanted the other day, and damn it! I feel in love with it again! When I started I decided I would use the punto and thrash my way through the game, but then I remembered my love for the DB9 and thought, nah I'll use the punto up until I get the DB9 and then onwards and maybe buy a car on the side aswell. But yeh so far it's going great, I'm having much fun and I just really hope that NFS: Undercover is going to be just like this one but waaaay better graphics and more cars, and more races and a good story and other usual things. So yerr, and just an hour ago after defeating some blacklist members I decided I would then play through carbon after most wanted to kinda continue a need for speed marathon that I've only just come up with. Though I won't be going through ProStreet because I want the whole street racing vibe, not circuit based events. I've got other games for that.

  Also an update on the PS3 situation. It seems I may be getting it a month before christmas. If I can bag this job at homebase (which should be a sinch) then by christmas I would have earned £540. more than enough for a PlayStation 3. buuuuut its kinda back to the old plan of my brother pays towards it aswell. I've worked it all out and it won't set us back much, and I can still get peeps prezzies for crimbo. So yeh I'm hoping to get the job and I should get it because there will be quite a few spaces 'cause of students goin to uni, not only that, if I do get the job it won't interfere with other things I have going on, like my old job did. ANNNNNND!!!!! my japan trip will be all payed for... by me! woot!

  Basically I didn't think I'd get enough dosh for my trip but I think I may be in luck because I should have well over the needed amount when it comes to it, although I do have to factor in costs of petrol for my car, other car stuff, and game buying, and other things, but even so I should have a enough and if I don't, then I'll get a loan from the bank and pay them back when I'm back into work. But knowing my luck, something will go horribly wrong, but hopefully not, so here's to not messing my life up completely!

  hehe! bye,

  Jamie

  No PS3 for me :(

  Well, my brother might be moving up north. which means I won't be able to swindle him into getting a PS3 through benefit money it sucks but yeh, it means I'll have to use my own hard earned cash to get one... So I won't be playing all those games on that list I made for atleast another year and a half. Basically I haven't got a job... need one badly, not sure if I can get EMA benefits or not and I'm going to try and sort it out today to see if they'll let me have it which they should but I'll go into detail about that later and yeh. Not only that This time next year I'm venturing out to japan with my mate for holiday and I want a hell of a lot of money by then because when I get there I'm going to be buying anything and everything japanese! The fact I'm in Japan means I'll try and buy the country well yeh. I'll now explain about EM.

  Right basically EMA is a scheme where if your 16-18 and your household income is less that £30,000 you can claim for up to £30 per week for travelling costs to and fro college/school. Not only that you have to make sure you keep up the good work at college/school to ensure you get the money each week and to have the right to recieve bonuses every term has gone by. If I recall correctly my friends got £300 worth of bonus last year so the PS3 may not be that far away. But this is where the problem starts...

  Basically you have to send a document with your tax info to them, so they can confirm that you do earn under the amount shown above. BUUUUUUT, my mum quit her job after the tax thing came, so it has her detials on there or whatever and says we earn more, so I'm going to ring up today and find out if there is any other document I can send to them so they can say yup your telling the truth and you can get £10 a week to help you get to college and pay for petrol and maintenance on your motor vehicle.

  So I'm hoping that they'll turn around and tell me I can send something else to confirm it and then I'll be able to not worry about only having 4 weeks worth of petrol money to get me there, and my parents cna't help out because I wouldn't be going for this if they could, plus I have a bit of pride and don't like asking them for money unless they have it on them and I don't and I can give it to them the day after when I can get some out. but yeh.. thanks for reading if you did. bye bye
