Looking at Life
Yeah the title sounds a bit melodramatic but i guess im in one of those wierd sort of moods. Well since my update quite a bit has happened, car passed its MOT without too much expense so its all looking good for when i sell it in the summer to buy a newish one :)
I went Bowling with work a couple of weeks back which was a bit of fun, had a good laugh and it broke up the week, most of the team i work with went and for once i got more spares than gutterballs - good effort!
Been playing alot of 5 a'side football recently as well have had a couple of really good games, reminds me of university and keeps me active so it cant all be bad.
Working at ChemDry has made me think alot - everyone there has already settled down with girlfriends / fiances etc, made me think about things and ask myself should i start making more of an effort. Im kinda stuck between a rock and a hard place at the moment though - no point in dating someone from Hull as i will be heading off back to uni again soon (and we know from experience that doesnt end well) then when i go back to university im only there a year before i leave to god knows where. Its hard finding someone to like though to be honest, but how hard can it be to find someone, reasonably good looking, intelligent and thats not boring? VERY!
Made a fatal mistake tonight of clearing my emails and looking in some of the sub-folders i made, found an interesting email from catherine and some prom pictures from 2003 - kinda made me sad- not because id ever want to get back with her but its nice to be able to spend time and get so close with someone. Guess im coming to that point again.... then just when i think about girlfriends i remember all the crap that comes with them.... its a tough one :)
Whats that quote from vanilla sky, (great film)
"You can do whatever you want with your life but one day you'll know what love truely is....... It's the sour and the sweet and I know the sour, which allows me to appreciate the sweet"
Went out with Danielle, Sarah, Heather and dani's friend Zoe on friday night to Asylum at Hull Uni, was an ok night i guess, was tired from work and football so was difficult to get into the swing of things and going out with a bunch of girls...isnt exactly the perfect night out. I guess sarah kept me sane enough. The club itself wasnt too bad, and the Female/Male ratio seems quite high so might be worth a trip back there with Richard & Matt or Foxie etc. Heather looked good i havent seen her in ages, shes got a boyfriend and is going to live with him. Its crazy how things turn around, nearly all those who had relationships at college are now single and those who were single are now in relationships - i guess its just swings and roundabouts and goes in cylces which can be summerised below;
Find bf/gf... date ...have fun....argue... split up.....enjoy being single ...feel the need for bf/gf - date ... repeat until marriage. - Talk about sceptical :D
Anyway - 3.09 and its work tomorrow.

Melodramatic?! Yeah just a bit; I was beginning to get worried Dean.
I think it's scary to think about the future and the fact that things can quite easily be summed up into three simple stages: Work, Family, Retirement. I personally don't like the idea that things could pass so easily by and be so boring unless I work to make things interesting in my life.
Indeed you are between a rock and a hard place; but to be honest, there's nothing wrong with just waiting to go back to university and meeting someone there, and you're probably more likely to find someone reasonably good looking, intelligent and not boring.
Clearing the ol' emails is a fatal mistake, and I'm sure you've made it several times now; will you ever learn? lol
It is good to have someone to spend time with and get close to.
I think that your girlfriend should be at least a good friend, but doesn't have to be your *best* friend. It's more of a sense of friendship, and you get to find things out about each other that most other people wouldn't (assuming that you talk about it).
It certainly does appear to be swings and roundabouts. Perhaps it's just life's way of balancing everything out so that everyone gets their share in good things.
I must say I enjoyed your break down of life into a simple 2 line paragraph; certainly made me smile.
Cheer up Dean, it ain't all that bad. Perhaps you should start taking a more PMA (Positive Mental Attitude)?? :)
