When I was much younger than I am now my family would go on holiday to the seaside. We would pack up our car, fill it full of everything except the kitchen sink - literally - and set off as early as we could. It was going to be a long drive.

We had a caravan on a site about two miles from the beach. Personally I could not see the reason why we had to have the caravan on that site. There was no chance of nipping to the beach to play in the sand, paddle in the sea or go beachcombing without it being an epic trip in the car. Now that I’m an adult, I can imagine that the caravan site was cheaper rent for those very reasons.

Now I don’t know if my parents ever had Caravan insurance. Why would I? I was only a child, I think the last holiday we took to our caravan was when I was nine. Insurance was not a top priority for me at that age. But, another thing that comes to mind now is that there was limited incliment weather conditions to affect our caravan site like those ones which are perched right on the cliffs. Our site wasn’t going to be affected by collapsing cliffs and rising waves in a storm. So, I have come to realise that it was a good choice of site.

Thinking about it, the site was actually great. It had its own internal road which me and my holiday friends could whizz around on our bicycles. There was a playground over the other side which I was allowed to go to when I was older, but not when we first started going there, I was much too young then to go about unsupervised. Most important, there was a shop which sold icecreams and sweets where our pocket money would quickly be exchanged for all sorts of sugary delights. They were good holidays, I have fond memories.

No matter how cool this jacket is a guy with this experssion is going to put me off. I get the impression that this guy is just about to top himself, not go out and score with the ladies.

It’s more of a straight jacket than a designer out fit! He kind of looks liek a hobbit trying to get into a hell angles group.

In other news i’ve just started a london acting course in improvistion with a group called the spondeity shop.

Yet when I read the words, it’s the same story for him as it was for me – and I think it will be again in the future. I too have just returned from the Edinburgh Theatre and Comedy Fringe Festival, and the end of it did suck. Not the event, that the event was ending. I remember feeling a little down when it was over and trying to return to a day to day routine wasn’t the most pleasant of processes. I really missed not just the festival – but the lifestyle as well.

Towards the end of the festival – and I don’t want to be explicit – but people did just seem to partner off really randomly in the last few days before it all finished, almost like the end of the world was coming and so people suddenly became less fussy about who they were with as long as they were with someone. There was one girl who did a who seemed to do it consciously. She went online and ordered a ton of makeup type stuff from cosmesuticals (which is good stuff but like most decent product you pay for it) just before the last week, then went out and brought home a different guy every night!

I just wonder if the same things happen to most people going through the same thing every year. The first time you experience something it seems new and exciting, but as you live life and grow, you look back and see the same things happening to those people who are now younger than you. You sut, and you suddenly wonder were the time went and are astonished at how young you aren’t, and that the things that were so ground-breakingly important now seem insignificant. You wonder even more that those same things are really important to the people 5 years behind you – and you know that in 5 years time those people will be where you are probably wondering where the time went.

We all strive for originality, for something different and fresh and alive.

I wonder if it even exists.

Well the new site has gone live, Courthouse Clinic this is the one where kate has done the design. It's good, not as good as some of the other sites I have worked on, my favourites being, site1 and site1.

And that has pretty much dominated all my time; it's only really today that I have started to relax again. This is one of the main reason I haven't been blogging lately, no time. But I'm back and I have a stupid site for you again. This is called http://www.netdisaster.com/ and it great fun. Basically you can destroy a webpage in a number of fantastic ways. It a whole new incarnation of web toys that are much more fun. Make sure you try flower power, paintball, and gun.

Longhorn is being considered a complete new version of the operating system, and the systems are deep in the process of being user tested. However many of the alpha version have been illegally distrbuted onto the net, causing a stir in the Windows enthusiast community. Have a look and see what you think.

CLOSE UPS:

This is an early beta build and may not bear that much resemblance to the final Longhorn product. Bear in mind, a database-based file system, integrated DVD burning, major UI work and lots more are still in the pipeline.

Now for some new sites I stumbled across. Do you need content for your website? have a look here. This is my friends site that he designed to help you sell your home, really it could say you tons of money.

There now. That’s all my news for the day.
