My Beard...

So the missus wants me to shave it, I want to keep growing it, its a tough one because I am not the one who has to kiss me (not when anyones looking anyway.) So I would really like to know your views on this subject, let me know by taking part in the poll on the front left of the homepage of my blog, also why not comment below.

(update) Looks like it is staying, for now at least.  The results of the poll are posted below, I was hoping for a larger number of votes I guess asking everyone for 2 clicks of the mouse was too much to ask. But thank you if you did take the time to vote.

Cex-ual Harassment

So last Saturday night I allowed the missus to have a night out in the dives that litter this crap hole of a town (that’s just the type of guy I am, generous to a fault.) She went out with her sister and had a good night. However when it comes to kicking out time the missus thought it would be a good idea for herself, her sister and some random guy they met out that night to come back to our house. The intention being that the wife’s sister and this guy would eventually go back to her house. So a little later (at around 4 o’clock I might add) the sisters taxi arrived and the heartless bitch that she is jumped in, rode off and left this random here at our house. Great.

Here we go again...

So inspired by a couple of my mates blogs here and here, I have decided to give it another go. If you so wish you can go visit my first attempt if you like half arsed blogs by a person who didn’t know what he was doing (good for a laugh at least).
With this blog I aim to bring you, my views on anything and everything along with a diary er journal thing! telling you about my life, which usually involves going from embarrassing situation to embarrassing situation with time for a McDonalds in there somewhere.
I also aim to bring you a ‘Design A Day’ which will hopefully be a daily post showing a page of sketches or a final design of whatever I feel like designing in the vein of the superb sketch a day site, while I know I will not be able to compete with sketch a day I will be using it as a means to motivate myself and to become a better designer (can I call myself a designer without a job and with just a degree?)

Anyway thats me, stick around it WILL be worth it

Out
