Buses going past, the computer fan, klingons on the starboard bow

Baseball to the Head
..
Right, okay...
(Maybe I should adopt a more 'mature stance' on such subject matter and refuse to find such lowness entertaining... but no, if a guy is going choose to sit there holding a tin bucket on his head and let someone fire baseballs at him, I reserve the right to laugh, damn it...)
Daft things like the above (where the participants consent, of course, that's the important bit): lord of the rings, naked gun, xmen, the truman show, the matrix, star wars, some other things that were here but got deleted. I can't really be bothered with films though, it's easier to get a few extra hours in bed instead.
Television
Haven't got one
Books
Lord of the Rings, As A Man Thinketh, The 7 Habits, Rich Dad Poor Dad, The Hobbit, The C Programming Language, Who Moved My Cheese
Heroes
Mr. Burns, Emperor Palpatine, Saruman, Gollum, Magneto, The Borg Queen, Uncle Oswald, The Merovingian, Eric Cartman, and other empire builders who had some interesting purpose to their life (other than the usual to have something to leave to their kids). They're usually the baddies in popular films who Mr Average With 2.4 Kids eventually succeeds in putting down because they made some tiny (but avoidable) mistake somewhere which Mr Average just got lucky on and managed to use to his advantage.
Some Random Song Lyrics / The 'About Me' bit (delete as appropriate)
Hi there! I spend most of my waking hours rushing around like a lunatic looking after the computers for a great bunch of people built up over the past five years, and then trying not to lose it all.
I then spend every single spare minute doing almost anything and everything possible (see the interests section) so as to keep putting off all of those really big scary questions in life such as why money isn't everything, why some people choose to have kids and why it's a good idea to go to bed before 11.30pm on a weekday night.
Its been a few months and i mus apologise for that. Something wondeful happened in my personal life recently which goes to prove that your optimism still shines through.
I met someone and i know you'd like her so much. We're due to get engaged (I proposed this weekend) and if we can, get married this year. This is with my fingers truly crossed that they do work out in these difficult times.
It will be really special and amongst the guests I would have invited, you would have been top of the list. You're my friend and will always be invited wherever you are.
(just a small message from your mum Andrew) Today we have been to see the tree in Scorton and have left three yellow roses for Andrew from members of his family. The tree looks well and has been staked now (see photo lower down).
It was a clear cloudless day and we walked to the railway line where Andrew's auntie Issie placed some more flowers in his memory.
Just been up to the office at Westhoughton and seen Andrew Patient and he asked me to write on here from everyone at Rok. You're gonna be missed by so many hun, I don't know anyone who would have a bad word to say about you, you were an absolute gem! Told Ben as well this morning and he was really upset to hear you're gone, none of us can believe it! Hope you're in a better place now sweetie, love from all at Rok. xxx
hello?? do you even come on here or reply? long time no speak, i haven't been bothered to download yahoo messenger..how are you? do you still use livejournal, or that a thing of the past?
Hey how are you? Not spoken to you in ages. Btw can't speak to you on Yahoo messenger anymore, cause frigging BT cut of my e-mail address. I spent 3 hours migrating each important e-mail i had, to a new address lol.
Hehe, yea, I worked at Bolton (Harker & Haworth) and occasionally Blackburn shop. Hehe, yea i know Gary, always took the piss outta him whilst everyone else panicked when he came in, i didn't care, lol. How mad is that we both worked there? Do you know Hedley as well? Sorta spoke to Graeme on the phone quite a bit, came across as a bit of a nob at times lol, think he's left now though. Lol yea, the pay was always shit, i started on £20 a day in 2004 working up to £30 in 2006 lol.
