What's your favorite music for a Sunday morning?

Hmmm, something fast to get me out of bed as it's very easy to slip back to sleep and wake up in the mid-afternoon.
I'd say The Faint - Worked up so sexual.... bit racy but if it gets you up, then where's the harm?
I simply HAVE to share this with you all, for those that don't use youtube that often theres a section on the right of the video labeled MORE FROM THIS USER click that and there are more from this guy, who is a Geordie GENIUS - though from Middlesborough I don't think he's a geordie, maybe someone could help me on that!
Anyway, enjoy!
G-Force and TinTin is tear producing funny!
Hows about this then... THREE in one day, all thanks to Lucozade
Quick update, this afternoon I taught myself the Cha-Cha-Slide!
Was very embarrassing at my cousins wedding a few years back, where nine and ten year old family members were doing it perfectly, and there's me looking like I'd been tasered!
Hi again!
Right here's the conclusion to my events of late......
At the weekend I went round my good mate http://daisyday.vox.com/ house. I never like to give the impression I go round JUST to get my hair cut, it just happens that everytime we do get together it always is time for me to get my dome cut. No matter HOW many times I plead innocence he doesn't believe me and I reckon secretly he does think I only ssee him for the haircutting service he provides well allow me to say this..... IT ISN'T TRUE I COME OVER BECAUSE I LOVE SEEING YOU!!!!!!
Hopefully that clears that up, anyway after coming back we had to go round my parents for dinner and a chat, somthing I try and do every week, it's not that they live far off, in fact it's only round the corner but that shouldn't be any excuse to not speak. Anyway that went fine and Monday arrived, the day when I "was" due to start my new job..... Here we go.... yep I got cold feet, you see, this was my 2nd choice of job after my other one and to be honest I didn't really like it when I went for the interview in the first place. I feel sheer desperation forced me to go for both jobs without really sitting down and thinking do I really want to do these jobs for a living..... If I'm honest it was desperation. So another phonecall, another stroppy agant later and I go home and hit the internet looking up por....I mean jobs! I find another that is for electric meter reading near where I live, it would be a total new career direction as I'd be out in the open all day, in the car banging on people's doors. I phone the place and they tell me I have to go to WIGAN - over 200 miles away for an interview for a job maybe seven miles from me. This HAS to be a mistake, or the very least a very late April fools joke, so I call the company itself. Luckily I was proved right and it WAS a mistake and that a manager is doing interviews the next day (Tuesday). And its VERY close to where I lived which made a lot more sense I sign up but still fire off my CV to loads of different places aswell, "Never put all your eggs in one basket" is a good philosphy to live by, especially when livelihood affecting jobs are involved.
Tuesday comes and at 8am I arrive at the hotel where the interviews are taking place and discover Iam one of six other people also applying. There are only two positions available so we are group-tested on meter reading ability which we all pass (dammit) then we, as a group fire off questions to the guy and he tells us what's expected. Give him his due he sells a VERY good job, whether it turns out to be that way if I got it I couldn't help but wonder. An hour later and we finish up and would let me know by the end of the day. A lot is riding on this as I quit both jobs I got and have nothing to fall back on (so much for the "eggs in the basket" philosophy!) Luckily no more than forty-five minutes later my phone rings, I couldn't get it as I was driving but pulled up to pic the voicemail message up. it's the manager and he has good news for me...... I call back and he offers me the position there and then! YYYYEEEESSSSS result!!!!!
I start next Monday, this job has given me a GOOD feeling to it as opposed to the sinking feelings of the last two, so this one Iam sticking to, as soon as I get all the paperwork though, be ready for updates and thoughts!!
Next part of this entry comes in the form of my former agency.... the first one I described earlier which moaned at me.... well my agent asked me to go in to sign what I suppose is a waiver saying it was of my own accord I left, fine fair enough, I did get the impression she was off with me but I could understand that in the circumstances.
I go there to see her and normally she is a very friendly, smiley girl. She is I would say no older than me, in fact probably a couple of years younger, blonde, quite pretty, however when I walked in and saw her.... well, it was like I stood her up at the altar or something, face like a smacked arse and thundercloud over the head, I thought "hmm, feels like home!" , she slapped a piece of paper and a pen down, asked me in a very seemingly restrained way to fill the questions in as I read them and walked out, near slamming the door behind her. Basically it was as I thought, a waiver saying where I WAS working, where Iam working now (which I left blank) the reasons I left, blah, blah, blah. After a couple of minutes she came back in, sat down, read what I put, scowled at me and proceeded to lecture me about how "unprofessional" and "unacceptable" I was.... Which I found quite patronising, as I would have been quite apologetic and explanitory about things, buit after being spoken to like that there was no way I was seeming to bow down, tail between my legs. Instead I did my best "you suffered and I don't care" attitude, went down a treat, she got up, opeed the door, I did the gentlemanly thing of offering her the way out first and she responded by not even looking at me, thrusting her hand out and replied "No, you first!" so I did, she did manage a half-arsed "goodbye", I threw one back over my shoulder and and walked out. Needless to say I shall not be using their services again, if they employ silly overgrown teenagers as agents!
Ooo one other thing I found out, "boobs" from my old job called me and asked me to call the orifice immediatly, I later find out that it's because the big boss has gone ape-shit at things going on in the call-centre and apprently "found" memory cards in my old desk drawer. Considering the fact I never put any IN my drawer while I was there I believe more dishonesty is going on and trying to put me in the frame for it. Unless the boss calls me and asks me himself when I will be happy to put him straight, as for "boobs", she will be waiting for my call till the day Satan starts skating to work!
And there's me done, everything up to date right up till now. Anything extra to add, I shall endeavour to do my best to put it down.
See you next time.
Hello again.
Thought it was about time for an update as I'm at home for the rest of the week mooching so I really have no excuse not to update.
Wednesday already... work weeks never go this fast.... anyway down to business.
Last week as I finished my final week of work I was taken "ill" for three of those days as I was genuinely sick, sick of all the messing about, non-work, and one-step-from-chaos that reigns the orifice of late. No-one gave a damn I was carrying three other people, to the point it seemed they were rubbing my face in the fact. "Oh dear, it seems I caught a mysterious tummy bug that stopped me working"...shame that!
In the meantime during my illness I went to spend a day at my new job before I go there perminantly, just to see how things worked and people in action. I began talking to people that worked there whilst my new supervisor was away from her desk and found out that everybody, especially new people are expected to work 14+ hours a day!!!!! Wouldn't be bad but you don't get paid either, you just do it for the "good of the company". I'm sorry, I work to live NOT the other way round.... I finished the day and phoned my agent and said I no longer wanted to work there. After a stroppy little moan from her I called another job that wanted to hire me and decided THAT is where I wanted to go.
I went back to work on the Friday just to say my goodbyes to people that I actually DID like, "wouldn't take very long" I hear you think to yourself, and to be honest, I thought the same. Turns out I was better liked than I originally thought, admitedly it was from people who didn't work in the same area as me, aside from my mate in the other office and the girl who shares his office, I had a lot of calls and e-mails from engineers and their managers. Being an ex-engineer myself I know how hard these blokes have it to arrange your day to get as much done as possible so I did my best to either save work or make it so it was easily done which, turns out was observed and registered more than I realised. It was times like those which made me slightly regret leaving, though those thought were quickly dashed when "boobs" decides she's going to play manager for the day and trys to tell me what to do, AND not very nicely may I add. Attitudes like that cut NO ice with me so the more she acted the big "IAM" the less I decided to do, she has no authority over me and yet is oblivious to that simple fact. 4pm came quick enough, just about received a goodbye card, no present though, not that Iam tight but every other person that left I put in for and yet it's too much when I leave to bother with. Oh well. I went and said final goodbyes to people in the other building adjacent to mine, got in my car, looked at the place I called work for 18 months and thought to myself "I 'm NEVER coming back here again", and I do intend to keep that vow. Well unless something happens and an offer is made with a financial package I would be stupid to turn down comes along then I may change my mind. (a little mercenary perhaps but principles do not buy food and pay rent!)
Think I may cut this off here, as I have much more to write but will break it down and make things a little less "novel-like"
so in that case "To Be Continued"........
See you next time.

Nothing's Impossible - Depeche Mode
Evening!
Reason for my title? This year has been a very strange year now its drawing to a close.... the strangest being my meeting up with a "ghost" of my past, that being my old best friend, last seen eight years ago.
That was the good ghost experience, then tonight I get the bad one, the Yang to balance the Yin if you will. It was just a normal evening, we decide to go shopping but go much later than we planned. Quite normal, we get there must be about 9.30pm which isn't unusual for us.... Just a normal mosey around Tesco getting the usual bread, milk, cheese, eggs, horse sized condoms.... HA - THAT woke you up didn't it! You can't get horse sized condoms from Tescos....
I digress, just as we are finishing up I see him.... I won't even bother mentioning his name as he doesn't deserve the publicity, like Lord Voldemort in Harry Potter, "he who shall not be named" and hopefully he will disappear! No this bloke as a child was a "See You Next Tuesday" of the highest order, probably sold his soul for a couple of gobstoppers. Wouldn't say evil, but severely screwed up in the head. He made a very short time of my school-life unbearably horrific, OK so it may be about a year or something but each lesson I had with him in it was the closest thing to hell I can imagine. Luckily he wasn't the brightest bulb in the socket and he eventually got shifted into dumber classes and eventually expelled.
I have never wished death on anyone in my life, truth be told I didn't even wish death on HIM, I did wish for a slow torture filled existence full of physical and mental anguish, and at the second he could no longer feel pain, THEN death! But when he was expelled and I saw no more of him, it wasn't as much of a relief as it should have been, as I didn't see him that much anymore, you heard the expression "I wouldn't pee on them if they were on fire"? Well had he set himself alight in the science room, I would have prayed for a full petrol can. It's strange isn't it though, how dispite not seeing someone for nearly ten years just a glance is enough to register them, and once I did I looked twice just to be certain. Thing was I only needed one glance and my blood started to boil instantly, my stomach churned with bile and venom and the hate that silently erupted was astonishing, especially as I thought I needed the second look to confirm. Then I HAD to go, luckily we were done anyway but then he goes and starts lining up 2 rows in front of us! He didn't either see me or recognise me though, drugs and years inside being somebodies "bitch" will do that to your eyesight I suppose but gladly we left, I do believe that it will be a very long time before I'll want to go in there at that time of night again.
With any luck, old "ghosts" will fade away again for another decade, and by then we will be miles from here so there will be the cherry on the cake guarentee that I'll not run into anyone I knew from way back when.
Thats pretty much it really, it was a spleen vent that I needed before bed.
See you next time.
I wasn't going to post today as I got up so late that dearly beloved and I wanted to make the most of the day.....
But then I got the news.... albeit about a week out of date but as "modern music" doesn't register with me, much less the MTV music awards I just found out....
