THIRTEENTWELVE

Its only a couple of days till I go now. (to Venice, not for good either, ahem)

We got our Nokia cameras and they do take shockingly bad photos. But for on phone wallpaper use, its ok.

I had my car washed earlier in the week and its still fairly clean, which is a miracle.

I think I had more to say, but I cant remember what. So for now I will end on.

Jackass tonight!

Billy Joel once said "it aint worth being a straight A student because that would mean thinking too much"

(Its Still Rock And Roll To Me - Billy Joel)

When Billy says something this, hmm, reaching, this, hmm, a bollocks to that. I'm just obaying him and I'm not going to bother justifying it anymore than, Billy told me to.

(of course, they other genius Billy, is Billy Idol - though there is nothing even near command like in Rebel Yell)

Big ups to Mr Wogan, from BBC radio 2 for that one.

And todays top tip, listen to Key 103 (windows media player needed) after 10pm for James Stannage, Sundays to Thursdays.

A top radio show.

Infact, yes, god bless Uk Gold for re-re-re-running the A-team.

It is a great show.

(I already gots the 2 Dvd's they released)

If your going to stick "GTI" badges on your car to try and fool people into thinking it is something special, faster or just more nick-able then, at least take of your "GL" badge first.

Otherwise, you just look like a muppet.

On todays trip home, I spotted, whilst sat in traffic:

A lollypop man, who was on his mobile phone, turning away a kid on crutches. Which, you gotta admit, is pretty low.

And the lady who had broken down and was trying to fiddle with the engine, leaning over the front of the car, one hand in the engine bay and the other trying to stop her skirt from blowing up and out revealing her leg.

For yes, she chose today to wear *that* skirt with the big slit up her leg. Sorta feel sorry for her, she'd have got away without any embarassment, if only her car hadnt broke down.

(remember back to getting a flat tyre one night and having no coat or anything in the car)

Yay!

Morgan Stanley got back to me about a Morgan Stanley credit card.

Though it didnt say whether I would be getting the platinum or the standard, nor is their any indication what colour this card is.

But it is cheaper than my current card, is cooler cos its Morgan Stanley and is master card and not pappy visa, which looks far too seventies to be cool.

Now why would a Russian milatary base, in Iraq have an American Huey helicopter sat in it?

Come on Murdoch, its easy to see its a set up...
(Murdoch)

Tis a bit odd.

Me and Mrs 13twelve have got a cut on the same part of the same crease on our right hands. They are about the same size and both dont hurt or anything. Neither of us have any recollection of doing the cuts either.

So what happened?

We must of been abducted by aliens. Simple really.

Why do they do it?

Why do girls wear silly hats. Sure they may not think they look silly when they buy them or place them on their heads, but they seem to be blinded by, what I can only guess, stupidity as its not cool to wear silly hats, fashionable nor do is it *do* anything for them.

They just tend to look like people who think they are something special - which in a way is true, they are. They should be locked away together for being so special, and stupid.

Ok so on the new phone then (as you will of read below, that is, after you read this, which means if you keep reading you'll read I got a new phone)

So anyways, colour screens. I find colour telly and colour films easier to watch and get into, I guess black and white stuff is a step further in asociation terms than colour.

(ok not to say my imagination lacks; black and white telly/films where primarily done due to technological difficulties and no other reason. Black and white stuff now, sure has other reasons, but cant be considered better (or worse) in anyway as a medium for telly/films. Technology evolved thats all.)

I just bought a colour screen mobile, which looks sweeter than my other mobile that doesnt have a colour screen.

But the other day I did find myself using the one colour cash machine over the other 2 for no apparent reason. I just was drawn to it.

Theres perhaps, something in the fact that some things are colour and others are not and so look poo.

Ian Lee is back on the telly.

Pity its on the 0-50,000 viewer, or in telly terms zero rated Channel 4 early morning show, Rise (which, lets face it could never be as good as Denise and Johnny on Big Breakfast).

Respect to Ian Lee for his "boo whoo you big fuckin babies" rant on that computer games show that he did a while back. Which, was cool enough to even entertain mrs 13twelve despite the computer game content.
(shouts to Mrs 13twelve for info on this one)

On below trip into town I encountered a cool bloke in the car park.

I think I once posted about people starting conversations with "I mean..." a while back.

So bearing that in mind.

As we're waiting for a lift to come, which seems to be taking an age I say "come on lift, sometime soon, I'm not bloody walking to the 9th floor" at which point the guy responds "do you know what i mean, mate"

Well no, cos you've not said anything yet.

My god has it been so long since I posted here? A whole 2 days if not more?

Ok I'm back to post again. A new toy, erm mobile lead to an adventure.

I wanted a data cable. Simple task, to link my phone and my pc.

I tried the usual array of shops, starting with the Nokia shop (built into a carphone warehouse) they didnt have any. They said try elsewhere.

So I tried everywhere, eventually ending up at another carphonewarehouse, where the manager said "buy an infra red adapter instead, its a bit slower, but cool cos there is no wires. we've sold out, go to the nokia shop"

I said "cool" and went.

On entering the Nokia shop the sales man looked at me as if to say, "we still dont have the cables" so I parped up "why didnt you tell me there was an ir adapter?" in a dickhead tone of voice.

Anyways, I got one and its cool. Have to keep it hidden though, cos it looks like a mouse and I know my mum will try and use that rather than my actual mouse....

Respect to the tram driver for caning the tram to town today. No car cos of a service but an entertaining tram ride all the same.

Though fears of it derailing proved un-founded as I survived to post another day.

Thank goodness eh readers?

readers???? :-)

Baddiel and Skinner Unplanned telly shows' theme is of people singing “it'll never work“. Apt, because it doesnt, its crap.

Funny how B&Q start a national Tv campaigne selling Red Roses at the newly cut down price, after valentines day.

Goooo Goggle man!

Oh speaking of *that* exabition, it was Tesco sponsored and they built a small tesco store as part of the exabition.

Which basically ROCKED it was so good.

And speaking of Tesco, the last time we where there, again we hunted out our main man terrance to serve us..

Lack of posts due to blogger problems, then yesturday I tripped to Liverpool for a passport for Mrs 1312.
(and this morning the ancient mac at college wouldnt post either)

We managed to waste 4 hours by wandering about the Tate, cos we're oooh so cultured.

There was a cool exabition about consumer culture though, had some interesting works, from early pro-capitolist stuff, in-different stuff too ultra modern commisioned for the exabition complete anti-capitolist stuff. Haha.

The anti one had poo slogans on it, but had cool old toys, cool music and was massive.

Clearly the artist had gone to a car boot sale, bought everything and stuck it down to a portacabin painted black.

Wicked stuff.

This mornings lecture was spent watching and talking a little about a 1960s documentory which was banned and not released till this year. It was about a nuclear attack on Rochester in Kent and Gatwick airport. (Its called War Games)

The 3 bombs where a megaton each, so pale in comparison to current bombs.

The damage was mingy, the 30 second air raid siren warning caused people to panic about, loads got 3rd degree burns to their eyes, then they got twatted by the shockwave and then they either died of being burnt, scruvy, intestines giving up or in fights as primitive behaviour ensues.

Quite a relevent lecture on the eve of a war in which the Yankees already authorised nuclear responce to (its seems) any act of Iraqi aggression.

In the documentory, people where asked "If Russia bombed England with nuclear bombs, would you want England to retalliate and kill and equal number of Russians".

Everyone said "Yes".

I hope the Iraqis dont think "eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth"....

For the first time since a movement against Barclays bank in the 60s (I think) the NUS is asking for student action against the war and we've also been told to go check out UK Resiliance to learn just what threats we are under.

Altogether its pretty mingy, scary shit. (whoa 1312 does serious talk)

Haha the A-team just reminded me of a top English trate.

What am I worrying for, when I go to Venice, if they dont understand me, just SHOUT and T-A-L-K S-L-O-W-E-R and in a P-A-T-R-O-N-I-S-I-N-G A-R-E Y-O-U F-U-C-K-I-N-G S-T-U-P-I-D sort of way.

hahah

Skating session #3.

I need to defo buy new jeans now, I just ripped my designated skate pair again.

Tonight I did an hour session on the mini ramp near my parents house, the first ramp I dropped in on and the ramp I spend the most time on.

Whats unusual about it is, it appears to take no effort to get up and down this one. But.

But it does somehow really kill your back.

I managed to get a couple of solid good grinds in and a couple of falls, including one off the side of the ramp, which looked far more embarrassing than it hurt.

The walk back up the hill to my car was absolute murder, steep steep hill and back that just didnt want to support my decreasing body weight.

I gotta find me some wax'd kerbs..

My parentals have just bought a new *tiny* washing machine.

Cleverly it looks to be half the size of the old ones, but weights twice that of the old one.

Instead of skating or surfing for a few hours while Mrs 1312 is at work, I've been helping to fit that.

What was nice of the people who supplied the thing, was to imbed very sharp metal staples that look like sharp glass bottle glass embedded into the box the washer is in.

I know this cos I just sliced my right hand open with it.

I used to like the taste of my own blood.

Not anymore.

Well it seems that I'm a minger.

Today I got to college to be greated by the news that there was no tutor. Instead we had to form teams for the long term project and go to the science museum.

I ended up not being in the famed Team Big Balls, as the staff present didnt want us to simply make teams with those people we knew and could trust in the group. (so when we where told to make our own teams, what it should of said was "dont bother")

Anyways, my group and some others who just followed me to the museum where at the museum.

We're walking around, amidst 100s of kiddies (half term joy) being stared at all the time as the freaky older people.

Anyways, we got talking about tattoos. One girl said, "never get someones name tattoo'd unless its a common name like David" and then she went on to discuss another girls boyfriends name not being common and so not good to get tattoo'd.

I simply announced (and innocently) that my middle name is David.

Girl 2 then says "oh, I was about to say that all Davids where usually good looking".

Hence, "what, and I'm a minger then?"

Bah!

Well according to handbag dot com I'm over weight, but not obese.

And fortunatly I'm not *that* over weight.

But the alternative, which for me is exercise by skating is seeminlgy really tough.

Skate session #2. Got on the mini ramp for a while, still can drop in no probs. No balence to do anything though. Still tried, had some comedy falls but no pain.

Then had another go on the midi/vert ramp (I cant decide which it is, what I do know, its big and scary). Like on friday night, drop in no problems. But by this time I'm tired. Its been 2 hours at the skate park and I'm done.

Still I tried. Did a run of up and downs with 180 jumps to keep going sorted, then went for a 360, something I could do on friday night.

Well somewhere between taking off and landing on my head, it went wrong.

Though the noise (which I didnt hear, no no no, everything was white for me, oh and silent) attracted a crowd of a bout 50 kids going "shit mister, you alright".

Well simple answer is yeah. My heads fine. My wrist hurt before but now its kay. But my jeans got torn.

I doubt mrs 13twelve will fix them, I might try. But she will use this as an excuse to make me clothes shop. Argh!

You wouldnt belive how much of me is aching after yesturdays skate session.

Used muscles I havnt used since I was 16.

I'll be as fit as a buchers dog and for the first time in a long time, more attractive than one, anytime soon.

hahaha

I can remotly open my car doors from the keyfob thing.

More importantly I can remotly lock my car.

Then I have to go wait in the cold while I stumble with my house keys.

Its clear, we need to be able to remotly unlock our houses.

(Garage doors do it)

I've just washed my car. But dont worry. I havnt gone mad. I will get it washed properly tommorow.

Now to the airport. To check out our departure terminal, methods of getting to the airport that arent my car or other car (taxi service either from parentals or a real taxi firm)

This will make it our 4th trip to the airport together, sadly we only flew anywhere 1 of those times.

Let me explain. The first time we where *that* bored. We spent ages too-ing and fro-ing on the miles long flat escalator things and seeing how close to bording a plane we could get, without a ticket.

Second time was just before we flew on our holiday last year, to scope out the terminal and what not. So the third time we flew on holiday.

I've secretly been 2 other times, to pick up my male parental after he's been on business trips. Shhh!

One 23" Pizza with Pepsi can for scale.
(admittidly it doesnt look so massive somehow, I'm too tired to find an angle that shows that off)
(but trust me, they are massive)

One Millies brand 1312.com cookie :-)

I went skating today.

Not quite got the tricks down like I had 3 years + ago.

The first ramp was wet and slippery. The rail I tried was too sticky and half way down I just stopped, sent arse over tit and onto the floor.

I at least remember what falling was like, and this was a proper, on your arse hard fall. But I'm kay.

The last ramp, a midi ramp, had ice on one side. But was generally cool and so I worked out on it.

After about 3 do's I was knackered. I struggled on and did somemore.

I really had forgotten how hard it was.

Eventually I got brave, did a couple of spinny air things to impress Mrs 1312 and then decided I was too tired to carry on.

I do feel fitter already. Hahahah (like shit I mean)

Just discovered a skate park near where mrs 1312 works.

Its a council one, looks to have a good few ramps on it and so I now know where I'm gonna be spending the free-time when mrs 1312 is at work.

So thats my exercise plan sorted.

Posts here may be affected, unless I have college work to do or its raining (so no chance and high chance) as inlining on a ramp in the rain is bad. No grip, get wet, ruin skates etc.

the good ole Roces Majestic 12s (majestic 13 twelves) come out the cupboard and move into the boot (of my car)

Well I've just set up my comments thing to send me an email with what, who and when any comments are made.

This may/may not be a good thing. In the first 5 mins of this, lil-warrior posted twice, i replied to her 2 posts and someone else posted a comment.

So I got 5 emails straight away. So right now leaning towards a bad thing. But, I dont get *that* many comments. (yes yes - i am on that edge of fate, dancing, shouting, laughing and definatly teasing)

I remember when I used to post to a message board that emailed me everytime someone replyied to any posts I had started or replied too. The board was very active.

I ended up getting 50 emails a day and I still get them now and then now, 6 months on. I couldnt keep up, or couldnt be arsed.

But for you my adoring loyal fans (so fuckin stay that way hahaha) I will make that effort :-)

(i mean it, stay that way)

Rarely in my driving time have I gone through a red light without realising it. (I know that sounds scary, but its not that uncommon) (I hope)

Today I was following a black Yaris and the woman driver chose to halt to a stop at a greenlight. And sit and wait. A couple of well placed stabs of the horn got her moving again.

Baffling,

Fitting that she later turned into the local doctors sugery car park. (Ok so it was shut, but she could sit and wait all night till it opens tommorow to fix whatever is wrong with her)

Had an amazing time dancing in my car on the way home.

On the unlit stretches of the motorway I was irritated by the blinding brightness of the cars lights behind my car.

Then I got behind an white Escort van and the lights from the car behind projected my shadow onto the back of the van.

Great fun dancing and making shadow creatures.

New comments are up and running now. It might be the case the old comments themselves mightwell have been wiped somehow.

But I'm not sure!

*update* - comments from before yesturday are fine. comment strings posted to/on yesturday are gone. Dunno why and too lazy to email enetation and complian. You'll just have to post more comments to make up for the missing ones :-)

Me oh my. the blogging is large today. Yes yes I actually had sleep last night!

I found freeflow, while surfing it I came accross an old band I'd had run ins with before.

Cola Moon, to the old skool vally peeps you'll remember these. Anyways, check out their website, its shite, so why point you there?

Check the "META NAME=KEYWORDS" tag. I shit you not, this is in their.

"META NAME="KEYWORDS" CONTENT="Cola moon, Cola, Moon, band, unsigned, manchester, music, rock, pop, scar, punk...."

Yes thats right, too cool to play Ska music.

HAHAHA

(if you can get any of the pages to load, please let me know, I cant. Nor can I get the creators page)

While looking for the Uni's music website thingie I accidentally stumbled on this.

Hmm lovely.

College networks are good.

Just downloaded the counterstrike mp3 from memepool at an average of 400k a second.

Hmmm.

Does pan my NTL 600k broadband a little where I can top 200k for sustained downloads, but never near 400k.

Woo!

I just got my plain tickets through!

Flying British Airways! Yay!

Gonna sit on the plain fully facial studd'd up scaring the other people on posh BA and then get to the 4* hotel in Venice, again fully studd'd up and hope the Venician police dont try and kick me out cos I look to much like a back packer.

Quite excited.

I'm also very impressed by my new screensaver. I got the Loops Laundry screen saver for my Mac and its simply genious.

Its hard to then go on and on about it, cos at the end of the day, its a screen saver and its a washing machine. But still it is cool.

Infact being excited about anything is tough. So darn tired.

Odd day today. I think not eating all day has put me in this tired and surreal mood.

Driving home was just frightening as the fiat bravo in front of me just somehow didnt seem like it was any real threat if I where to drive into the back of it, say.

The comments thing may well change, but that might have to wait till after I done some of Mrs 13twelve's college work for her.

My comments thing will change later on, I donated the money to the place.

We should now have more reliable and faster commenting and I'll make more of an effort to actually stylise the things to be more like the site.

If I can be arsed anyways.

Right now I've just come out of a lecture and am damn hungry. Just not eaten enough today.

I clearly need a bacon butty. Or 3.

I'm here trying to think of something interesting on here.

But I'm feeling tired (dont know why) and Star Trek is on Sky1. So I'm simply not capable right now. Sorry.

Haha

Lets see if I'm any more capable at 6 when the A-Team comes on Uk Gold by which point I should probably have found some Pepsi.

Oh, no reply from Pepsi yet....

Or Morgan Stanley, not even for one of their "basic" cards.....

Does money ruin human evolution?

Think about it (alone, quietly all day) (no go on)

I have.

I get a bad back, all my stress and what not, like work, shitty drivers and what not, goes to my lower back. Its a right pain. No really.

My bad back potencially makes me less inclined to do anything. So in a nature terms, I'd be crap.

If I didnt have a bad back, I would be more inclined to do things. So in nature terms, I wouldnt be so crap.

Evolution would make more of the less crap mes survive and do well than the crap mes.

But I have parents, mrs 13twelve and friends to push me in to doing things.

Meaning the bad back me may do very well.

Say all the good back me's where born into situations where they never had any push to do anything. They could all die out, leaving the bad back crap mes to do things.

We're clearly doomed with all these bad back crap mes running around....

Ok so stealing links isnt my thing. But this one does expand on itself in the most interesting ways. Especially if your a fan of Engrish.

Followed from Memepool, so big ups to them, check out The Blogging is large! and make sure you also check out Metafilters' look at the "The Blogging is large! site.

There is some debate over it, but the site itself is pretty funny. What do you think, real or not?

I need to complain to NTL.

They give me good internet service. No problems there at all.

But my cable box is completly random. My channels are all over the place every time I turn it on now.

I go 1 - BB1, 3 - ITV, 851 - Total Rock Radio, 50 - E4, etc.

Its soo frustrating, will I never find the History Channel ?

Well Project Rockstar goes live on feb the 12th.

One pain of this is that they'll be resetting the whole dam thing.

But not to worry, they farked up and reset some of yesturday by accident.

Ahh! my band have left me as I went backrupt.

Scary thing is, I still have 50K ....

On the topic of the said Pepsi tasting session.

Mrs 13twelve was writing a report about Pepsi. So we decieded we needed to taste some.

I went out and bought Diet Pepsi, Pepsi Max, Pepsi Twist and some normal Pepsi as we where just running low.

Diet Pepsi does taste different to Pepsi Max, Diet is less sweet and has no after taste, where Max does. I think Max uses a different sweetener which has more calories than Diet.

Twist tastes a bit like funny Pepsi, but has a different aftertaste. You really do taste the "lemon twist" after swallowing.

Its not something I would choose to drink over Pepsi, but over Coke - Hell yeah.

As a further point on Pepsi. We watched a "Coke vs Pepsi" show on the History Channel last night (unfortunatly, after the report was finished)

It talked about how the companies try and monopolise places, siging exclusive rights with not just schools and office blocks, but cities and states too. So to further this, I plan to email Pepsi and urge them to do the same with my city and my university. Wish me luck!

Funny I should post the below.

Yesturday after a Pepsi tasting session, Mrs 13twelve actually managed to burp me.

Seems I'm a baby and shes a young mum.

People ridiculed Slipknot a while back, cos they had 8 bandmembers and I think 2 of them did nothing.

No no this isnt a pro Slipknot post.

Blazing Squad have about 50 members, and NONE of them do anything.

Double tracked vocal idiots I think.

And nope, I'm not worried about them turning up at my door. Or am I? I mean, there isnt enough places to sit all of them before spoon feeding them some food to stop the kiddies being all hungry and tired.

Here comes the aeroplane...

Last night I watched 24 Hour Party people on video (cos the rentals place ran out of dvd).

Yes yes, so you like many others may think Tony Wilson is up himself or what ever. As his hayday on Granada News was before I was old enough to really take him in and now hes back on Granada News and I'm to old to care (I dont watch it anyways) - my opinion of him is neither good or bad. I dont really care.

Anyways, if you think to yourself its Alan Partridge and not Steve Coogan playing Anthony H Wilson then it makes it somewhat more funny.

Now I'm in the mood for Joy Division and New Order music and like spotting the northern celebs in the whos who of Northwestern people in the film. I should of been in it I know.

Anyways, I think its a good film. If you dont, your wrong.

(Southerners, I guess its a northern thing this one, sorry!)

Ok so my comments appear not to be working today.

I'm not 100% why on this, it appears to say my user name doesnt exist, but easymistake.com's user doesnt exist either.

Its a pity too, I was gonna pay the tenner to make it good n proper, this will now have to wait till during the week when they are working again.

Any good comments and I'll get back to them asap.

Yes yes, 13twelve will be going on tour with his mrs in March.

Venice will be our destination, for 2 days staying in a 4* hotel in the center of Venice, just off the oldest canal.

(no no we're not loaded, nor are my parental units, its just a cool deal)

Personally I fear for our survival. I mean, its Italy, they're going to speak Italian and more importantly Venitian (they're supposed to have a bad dialect).

I hope they do Pizza as good as Nino's...

Today I've mainly been compleating Sega Gt 2002.

After spending wods of cash on Japanese Nissan Skylines and American Ford GT Concepts, I eneded up compleating the majority of the second part of the game in a British Caterham 7 and other parts with the British Lotus Exige.

Small, light, high bhp/ton whips techno 4wd and brute force everytime.

Though special note must go to my now 1000bhp+ Ford GT90 and my 700bhp+ Nissan Skyline R34, both of which are top for dohnutting till the cows come home.

I also ended up with a Honda Integra in black with 427bhp (the ultimate fast and the furious street racer?), several 500bhp Honda NSX and a 300bhp Renault 5 which was crap.

If you came here after following the url written on one of my new "thirteentwelve.com" business cards, then welcome!

Yes yes, I now have business cards. They are among the worst peices of shit I have ever seen and came from a machine in a shopping mall costing a mere £2 for 20. The card is poo, the printing is poo and the options when making your card are also poo.

Ah well. I shall be giving them out over the coming weekend. (if it gets hits, I dont care)

How farking hard is it to sign up to pay pal?

I've just been trying to follow their instructions, but they have sent me in a circle.

Got to a point now where I can see that now I have signed up, I can shop at thousands of Pay Pall shops.

Except I cant, cos I'm able to spend $0.00 as I havnt yet got a 4 digit code on my credit card statement which wont update online untill at least tommorow, though Pay Pal admits this might be 4 days.

So after being enticed by "easy to sign up" and "shop instantly" I can testify both claims are utter shite. The process is both confusing, overly long and stupid.

How cool is this? (well I think it is)

Just told my mother that my cars going in on Friday to get new disks and pads which is gonna cost me steeply. Though neither pads or disks are that expensive, and pads aren't that hard to change. Getting old disks off can be a bastard and I imagine a fair chunk of the labour charges will come from that. So thats £138. (so thats not cool)

And at 4:30 today my car also started to flash that it needs a service. My last service was £155. This service is an A grade one, not a B grade one, which means less stuff needs to be done. So lets guess another £130 bill. (so thats not cool)

My road tax needs to be re-nuewed in march, so thats another £105. (so thats not cool)

Thats a total of £373 (definatly not cool).

Oh and insurance in April of £1300. Totally not cool.

So what is cool? My mum was thinking of giving me a trip to Venice for my 21st! Now that is cool :-)

(still after analyising the car money to be paid I cant help but think, poo I'm gonna run out of money or credit limit)

I must be a young child and mrs 13twevle a grandma - cos she keeps offering me fizzy pop.

Just be glad not everying I that runs through my head gets posted here. Only some of it does. Because other wise you just wouldnt keep up with the millions of random crap that I'm producing every minute.

But imagining a system where I could just think it and it be posted here is cool. Hmmm. Get my thinking cap on and invent.

(given up already, dont know how)

You maybe wondering. "13twelve, is it hard to keep coming up with such witty, intelligent, interesting and humorous posts everyday?"

Well the answer kiddies is Yes.
I do work hard at trying to articulate what I say in a way in which I find it funny, either or personal reasons, private joke reasons or other. I've started to observe the world far more in order to bring you the best of what I see. On days, like today, where I do very little with myself, posting things is more tough - when I have done nothing, its hard to share the experience with you in an interesting humorous way.

Well the answer kiddies is No.
I am actually full of shit and if pressed I could probably post something at least half interesting and funny at any point. If you then dont find it interesting or funny then, it is indeed, you who are wrong. Most of what I say sorta just spills out onto the keyboard much as what I say to people verbally and most of the humour people get from the site isnt intentional yet I still take credit, I mean why not, I said it.

Well the answer kiddies is Yes/No.
They're both true. So ner.

(though clearly today is a day where I done not alot, as I resorted to the post you just read)

I just driven home fairly slowly today - in no real rush to get here.

Driving up the road I noticed an old woman, hobbling with a walking stick and bag - walking in the road on the outside of a parked up Toyata MR2 coupe.

I figured she must be walking on the road cos the pavement is all icy and the road isnt, the MR2 with its big wheels ( 18's ), big exhaust, tinted windows, lowered suspension which I have seen before parked their, surly couldnt of been hers.

Anyways, I drove past and looked back.

(be cool to now say "she fell over" or "she walked past it)

But nay, she pulled out some keys and got into the car.

Respect to the old lady and the MR2.

After watching the Smartphone demo of the Orange Spv in action I sorta really want one now. I think it wins.

The way I see it, this phone has a smart media flash card thingie. This can be taken out and bigger ones put in. So, although your not gonna have your phone having iPod beating amounts of songs - you may very well be able to encode, say Transformers the movie to be about 140mb big - take the size of it down and the sound quality down and what not. This means you'd be able to watch the entire movie, or others, on your phone.

How pistaking is that? Come on!

For the last time (well probably not but, hey)

Its not cool to dis Michael Jackson.

Yes so his telly show last night is the talk at the coffee machines accross the land (and soon the world) and a whole bunch of smart arse people from poncy sounding institutions will tell you he is a nasty man and what not.

There is the rest of the world, rest of the pop stars, even in this world where it seems almost easy for any below average talent anybody can become a celebrity - then there is Michael Jackson and it will always be this way.

Yes hes cleary a little or a lot nuts, which leads him to make foolish mistakes. But from a man that causes such a comotion every where he goes, a man who entered the public eye at 5 and who probably has access to limit less money (yeah, cos you can see him actually go backrupt and to prison and what not, come off, hes Michael Jackson) - its only to be expected hes at least a little mental.

The man has done lots and lots of good things, I would love to go to Neverland and you simply cannot deny he is talented (even if you think hes shit - he is still talented)

Big ups the king of pop.

Many accuse me of not living a student lifestyle. Many have also witnessed me living beyond my means and certainly watched my better half living beyond her means.

So to text this, I just applied for a Morgan Stanley Platinum card.

And heres hoping I get it. On the plus side, I am a student, get me into debt now and they'll have me for a long time.

On the minus side, I dont earn any where near enough money.

But will that stop them?

(I have a feeling the Morgan Stanley normal card is black anyways - not that you can apply for that on the web site)

Ok so something new and funny (for a minute) to do to waste time.

Go to yahoo chat and find a room called "webdesign" then heavily crit and abuse all the budding "innovative" geocities "top design houses" and "leading design agencies".

Gee whiz this 14 year old kids are slow, stupid and crap at webdesign. But they hold a grudge. Haha

It does turn up some pearlers though.

The absolute peril of waking up in your own house.

The cats clearly been in here over night or something. I currently have the worst cold ever.

As soon as I leave the hosue, it will go. But I go no where to go till about 1:30.

So right now I best put up with my nose bunging up every minute.

Argh!

(my cats cool though)

Well the good news is my Counterstrike is once again working just fine. So a quick trip to cs_arabstreets had to be done.

Joined an oldish server, not running the latest version of Cs and not running any admin/anti-cheat mods.

Question. How do you beat someone, 1 on 1, when they can see which way your gun is pointing and moving at all times (thanx to a big green line drawn coming from the gun), who is also using a lag based bot (which slows you down in comparison to them) and of course, trusty old aim bot ?

Answer. Die many times trying. Before settling on being just crazy.

Run facing the wrong way, throw as many grenades, flashbangs and smoke grenades all over the place and if you can drop through it and fall, do so. Cheat alittle yourself, or perhaps just use the fact I clearly knew the map better than my aptly named foe, "twat" (no seriously, that was his username).

The first kill came as I dropped off the roof of the factory (which without playing the map 1000 times you wouldnt know you can do), then through a window, out another window to land on the poor twats head, at which point I let my auto shot gun dismantal the twats brains.

Ok so I died 25 times and only killed him 3. It is horribly difficult to kill someone who is using so many cheats. A bit like killing me in Arabstreets when your anyone I've played Cs with in the past then really.

(blowing own horn - tooot tooooot)

haha

I actually feel old. Well again. Or perhaps come of age. Or some other emotion similar.

In another episode of 13twelve going literally mad to post lots in a short space of time, rather like 6 pm ish when I get home to this pc on the first few days of the week (followed by the lul in activity untll the weekend).

To the point (yes yes we WILL get there someday, sometime)

MTV is playing Teen Spirit and I sit back and go, "shit, I started listening to this band in like 1998 or 99 or something. Thats ages ago".

Yeah so I missed the whole Seatle grunge 1992 thing, I was happy with my happy hardcore back then. But at least I happily pee all over those mini mosher kids and there simply kerazee Slipknot hoodys.

Read the below post then add, "cos there is no pepsi here"

Quite impressed. After having spates of not being tired all night and then being half asleep, sorta re-inacting the first few scenes of fightclub only not so much.

Its midnight ish and I'm tired.

I guess I should now start the blogging, cos I'll talk the most shit now. But yay! I'm tired!

Proudly saying no to war (even though this does mean I wont be able to watch it on CNN), big ups to the crew of Columbia and their families, keep up the space program and peace out to MJ, the king of pop.

Had the first (of no doubt many) snow balls thrown at my window.

Through a mix of lazyness, tiredness, busyness doing other halfs college work and most of all pity, I wont bother chasing them.

The sad thing is, is that it is the same kids throwing the snowballs as it always was. They are now 20 like me and still hang around the streets all night as they did from 8 years old.

Though one thing has come with age, it is now 21:38 and they are still out. Which means their Mommys dont want them in at 8.

Wont be getting any snowballs after 10 though....

That stupid white shit is now a mix of stupid white shit and black ice. I'm stuck here till tommorow.

Dunno if Mrs 13twelve will understand, it was barly hail stoning where she lives, but the journey home saw the weather conditions go from barly hailing to full on snow shittyness.

The roads been closed, so once again, the rare time of year when the main road outside my house has no cars going up or down at all, as everyone goes "its cold and mingy outside".

Been listening to A Perfect Circle a lot recently, well the two songs that are any good anyways and now I've just been through Radiohead's the Bends and currently on Kid A - shouts to Vagwin for these, though he wont know it - its his old computer from which I inherited the songs.

Sombre music to suit my mood now.

You cant fight the elements - nature has a habit winning.

That stupid white shit is falling from the sky again.

Its everywhere which includes the roads. Which from my drive home proved scary, as I found I neither had grip to turn, brake or accelerate without skidding towards the central reservation of the motorway.

Come on, please piss on this parade, come on rain, give it some, so I'm not stuck here and I can drive off to pick the better half up later on.

My current mobile phone contract runs out at the end of February. And there is probably 100s of reasons to change from my current providers, Singlepoint4u.

But they havnt harrassed me, upset me, ripped me off (as far as I can tell) and so being the lazy student I am I will probably stick with them.

I also have a, not fear, but definate dis like to snail mail, or post not be so sad.

So if I where to want to end my contract with singlepoint the only other option is to deliver a written note ending the contract *by hand* to the singlepoint office in Newcastle under Lyme.

And I'm just the sad case to do that. And hopefully they'll think I'm insane and end it all quickly and efficiently before I rant about my alloy wheels and bore them to death.

Muhahahah :-)

Do you speak Micra?

Though I have often been accused of talking shit, crap or rubbish - not even I speak the dribble that is Micra.

Sorry Nissan, your ad campaigne for the "Motro - Modern yet retro" Micra is poo.

It reflects badly enough on you as it is, yet I guess you did release the minging car in the first place

Fortunatly you can program the car to say "happy birthday" to you on your birthday, or any day infact, you may as well, as driving the car clearly would make you in-secure enough so that it would only be the car that wishes you a happy birthday.

(and i'm neither tired or angry, just having fun ranting)
