Glory Glory Tottenham Hotspur

What a sight to behold! Robbie Keane holding the Carling Cup after a fantastic 2-1 win over Chelsea. It means we're in Europe next year and its a sign that things are looking up at the Lane! And for those who say the Carling Cup is worthless : shut your face and get a life.

House prices

house prices frustrate the life outta me! my house is up for sale but nobody is interested in it. at the same time a house i'm interested in has gone down in price but i cant do anything cos nobody is interested in mine. i do have the option of staying in my house but renovating it and making it slightly bigger but it means staying there long term. really dont know what to do about it, i know i need to be patient but that's something that i struggle with at the best of times!!!

Canada

So Im just back from a great time in Canada. Was amazing seeing people again that I hadnt seen in way too long! as much as I love Summerserve/ First Contact/ The Plunge it was great to hang out with friends away from all that and just relax and spend copious amounts of tim and money in Tim Horton's!!

One thing that hit me when I was away was how many of my friendships are based on mission trips. Without all those trips I wouldnt have been in Canada and wouldnt have made so many amazing friendships. That goes for people in Northern Ireland and Scotland as well.

It also made me think about why people turn their back on God. All these friendships I have are because of God and I cant imagine not having all these amazing people in my life, maybe sometimes we think we can do things on our own without God but we really can't.

Anyway, im not going to preach!!!

quick update

so just a general update about where im at.

working for simon community since august and its been good so far. been challenging in many ways and a real learning experience and a good challenge. Been doing some extras work as well and this lead to an audition which was a really interesting experience to say least. some more in the pipeline but i dont know if its something i want to persue. i was advised that if i wanted to get anywhere with acting then id need to dedicate a certain period of time to it. that would be difficult to do with work etc so i really cant see that happening. i enjoy the whole extras thing but its not something im passionate about. The temptation is there to move to london for a while and go to a few auditions and spend more time at spurs but im not sure its going to happen!
other than that ive been getting over to watch spurs as much as possible and in just under two weeks im going to Canada to visit some old friends and have (in my humble opinion) a well earned holiday.

blogging

never really got into the whole blogging thing. its been nearly a year since i wrote anything here. im going to try and do better and its purely to amuse myself, it doesnt bother me how many or how few people read this!

Football

It wouldnt be me if i didnt have a rant about football.

One of my greatest loves is Tottenham Hotspur Football Club. As much as they frustrate me, I cant express the happiness I feel when im sitting in White Hart Lane and they score or win a game.

But depsite my love I admit that Spurs are not going to win the league or dominate English football in the near future. So, ill talk about the so called elite clubs.

Im not a United hater. I detest Arsenal and am developing a dislike of Chelsea. Liverpool annoy me as well. Arsenal ooze arrogance, I will say they have some skillful players but their attitude is aweful. When they win, they are cocky and when they lose it is someone elses fault.

Ditto Chelsea. Extremely poor sports - Drogba and Terry seem to have dfficult standing should a gentle breeze go past them. I also hate Steven Gerrard. The boy has talent but hes a dirty player. I used to rate him until I saw him at a live game. He's constantly trying to wind up the opposition and always moaning at the ref.

Naturally being a loyal Spurs fan, my views on Sol Campbell are also interesting.

maybe ill leave those to another day.

So this should be fun.........

So as the title suggests, this is going to be very random. Nobody might ever read this but sure what the heck!

well, ive been off work for 3 weeks with torn ankle ligaments and in that time ive been doing a lot of thinking, praying, watching tv and contemplating about might have been.

its been interesting the amount of time ive spent on the internet doing absolutely nothing. its been cool reading people's blogs on here and seeing what people are up to.

It's made me wonder even more thought where my life is headed.

Don't get me wrong - im not depressed and feeling miserable. im just curious. so many of my friends are in relationships, are married, have kids etc etc. I own a house, a car, have a job but nobody to share it with.

but at the same time i have no real urge to go out and try and meet someobdy, the whole dating thing just doesnt appeal. i think this is maybe due to my laziness.

ok, i was with someone for nearly 5 years and have been single since august so no need to get alarmed that im going to be alone forever. but what if i am alone in a relationship sense. does it matter?

im sure ill post something else random again soon.
