Insert your own happy title here
I couldn't think of a good positive title so I thought I'd just leave it up to you...hope you can think of a good title...today was my last free weekday before I go back to college on Monday...I must try to smile about that one...nope I'm afraid I can't. The thought doesn't exactly make me leap around with joy. Oh well at least it will give me summat to do...
The World cup is fantastic...is it not just the best and biggest Sporting Spectical in the entire world!? I know england haven't been playing the best but it is fantastic I mean Argentina 6-0!!! Thats a score line! Its just great...4 and a half hours of football a day!! How great is that!? and when you mix that is a week with nothing to do, a boy who's just passed his driving test you get one impressively happy boy!
I found a set of wheels and tryes in the garage today which I didn't know were there which is great cos I thought I was gonna need to buy some new tryes for my bike...now I don't!
Anyway I have to take a load of stuff to the tip in the morning and sort out a bike for my little brother and then its my brother's house warming party in the evening so I'm off to that. So now Im going to bed...actually Im going to do some bench press then read my bible then go to bed...
Good night!

Clearing something up...
It appears that somebody, I don't know who cos they always appear as anymous, believes that I'm always moaning and being depressed..and I have heard this attitude expressed in other places as well so I'm now about to try and demolish that notion...
I am generally I happy person. After all I have been saved by Jesus Christ I have every reason to be happy. Maybe sometimes I appear a little depressed or that I just continuously moan...that's probably because I write my blog when I'm bored, or sometimes I'm just unimpressed with the things going on around me...but I am really a happy person. Why even today my driving instructor commented that I always had a smile on my lips, I hope he hasn't been looking at my lips a lot...but yeah I am happy, I'm also completely mad...put that down to college. That's possibly the other thing which makes my blog seem depressed...I really don't enjoy college, cos I don't really want to be there, I don't like the vast amounts of people and stuff. So when I've spent a day at college it can rub off on my posts...
Sorry people if my blog has been depressing, I'll try and make it more happy!

A return to late night posting...
Well hello people, I am doing one of those things one should really not do...write a blog post at 10:50pm when you have to be up and out the house by 8 in the morning...so yeah I obviously don't learn from my mistakes...on the upside late night posts have some advantages e.g. rubbish spell so you spend half of your day trying to decipher what was meant to be said annother good thing about them is they tend to say reall stupid things! So yeah enjoy my random ramblings...
I had my last exam today, that was fun...well actually it wasn't fun but I quite like exams so it wasn't at all bad...Wednesdays exam wasn't too good tho...on the upside I don't have college till a week monday, cept I have to go in on Thuirsday morning to re-enroll or summat...I dunno its a load of rubbish really...I could be doing so much better stuff with my time...but yeah no college...thats good...and of course I have my driving test on Monday...should be interesting...and if it all goes well I'll be able to drive all by my self and not have to have L-plates on the car any more!! but we'll have to wait for monday...bout 14:30 to find out exactly what happens...
I did a personal best on my bike this evening...I rode 17.87 miles in 56 mins...not bad at all...it was fun as well, it was a gorgeous evening...warm tho just like it still is now...
Tomorrow my brother is moving house...to a house about a mile away in Congelton...so I'm going down there and helping...if anyone wants to come and help give us a ring and I'll tell you how to get there...the bad bit about it is that I'll probably miss the england game...but I'll just listen to it on the radio...
Anyway I should go to bed...Im really tired...btw go to Tim harmans blog and read the "Peter the Potato" story...both parts its fantastic...

Well now...
Its been a while since I last posted...sorry for the huge chasm of time that has past since my last post...I been revising...that's what I'd like to say but to be truely honest I haven't been revising as much as I should. Most of time I'm an a mood where I can revise for the morning then can't bring myself to revise again for the rest of the day...also the fact that I spent all of Thursday and Friday away on a canal boat on the Llangollen Canal near Chirk probably didn't help all that much...I'll explain that one later...so yeah I haven't really done as much work as I should have done...espcially when I have 3 exams next week (actually you could call it 5 exams as my 3 hour exam on Wednesday morning is actually 3 papers) so yeah if people could pray that a) God will give me the strength, concentration, etc to get myself to revise more in the days before my exams...also b) that in the exams I will do the best I can...but in both thing that I do them as if Im doing them for God...if that makes sense...
While on the subject of God recently God has worked in me and somehow given me the passion to read the Bible more...cos until a few weeks ago I was only doing my Bible meditation in the morning and that was it...but now I read a chapter in one of the gospels and do my meditation in the morning then in the evening I read a few chapters of the old and new testament and it has really been amazing to see just how easy it is and before I would sit there and say oh I haven't got the time or whatever...but I've discovered now that if only I give that time to God he seems to able able to lengthen the other parts of day and give me back the time I "miss" when I read the Bible...amazing...we serve a truly awesome God...his Name is above all names! Woohoo! Doesn't it just make you happy! The more I get to know God the more it amazes me...and yet saddens because I see more and more just how far short of the glory of God I have fallen...but God has given us the perfect sacrifice in his Son Jesus so we can have eternal life and live in his presence...wow...I stand in awe.
I got paid £210 by someone who has owed me that for about 8 months. I'm now happy for more than one reason :D
Anyway I said I'd explain why I was on a canal boat for the best part of Thursday and Friday so here goes... I have a friend (amazing I know) anyway I have a friend called Ethan Earle...I've known him pretty much since I was a week old...he's 5 months - 1 day older than me and his parents and my parents have been friends since time pretty much began...anyway Thursday was Christopher Earle's (Ethan's dad) 60th birthday. Now Carsten, Ethan's brother, owns a canal boat named Juliet on the LLangollen Canal...it is usually moored in the marina at Chirk. Anyway for Chris' birthday celebrations, the family we're going to a summer faite at the college where Carsten lives near Oswestry...then they were were going to sail up the LLangollen canal to the Lion Quays (a very nice restaurant beside the canal) have a fancy meal...then the lads were to sleep on the boat and Jaquoline (Chris' wife) and Chris' mother were to stay in the hotel. Then on the Friday we were all to sail down to Trevor which was back up the canal...on both days we were bathed in sunlight and nearly all of Friday morning I spent lying on of the top of the boat baskings in the heat...going through the tunnels was quite cool tho! On the friday we
went over two aquaducts: the Chirk aquaduct and the Pontcysyllte Aqueduct. Both absolutely outstanding...the Chirk aquaduct isn't as high as the Pontcysyllte Aqueduct but it has a viaduct carry the railway line a few yards away. That's the picture on the left. The Pontcysyllte Aqueduct is possibly the biggest engineering feat I have ever seen. It is a monument engineering when it was at its best...sack the all this modern architecture, this is what engineering is about...you float 126 feet above the River Dee in the valley below. The canal itself is contained in a iron trough which stretches 1000ft across the valley...on one side is the tow path on the other side is what can't be more then a couple of
inches of iron which is all that's stopping the watter and you plunging the whole 126 feet to the bottom of the valley...if there are several places in Britain I have to go to again before I die this will definately be on my list...it is truely awesome...its such a pitty that monuments like this aren't built like this any more. Why do engineers nowadays have to build things with fancy arches and things? to BritishMaybe I should become an engineer and build things the way they should be built...anyway I highly recomend everyone goes to see the Pontcysyllte Aqueduct...and if you can take a canal boat across only if you have vertigo sit on the side of the boat next to the tow path...if not...sit on the roof...you'll never forget it...by the way the Pontcysyllte Aqueduct is the picture on the right...
I've talked too much now and if you've got to this point congratulations you have to be incredably bored...so Im now got put up some more of my pictures and that will be it...
