So here it is, all my heart went into this.
I just hope to God that she will finally see how much I care about her.
It’s all I want her to see. I don’t want to be seen as hassling or aggravating, I just want her to see how much I love her.
So here you go, this one is for you, I will be forever yours Charlotte.

Reflections from a short walk January 25, 2012

I went on a little walk today. I was meant to be meeting Justin, who I’m sure you all know, for coffee in town and rather than drive there I thought I’d walk for once, as it wasn’t really that far.
I haven’t been for a casual walk into the broadway in my hometown for a little while and as I was walking past places that I used to walk past all the time I started remembering all the times I’d done this before. The houses shown in the picture at the top are three thatched cottages on the main road using local reeds for the thatching, which is how the town got its name. When I was a little boy, I had a fascination with these roofs, in part because I knew it meant that I was nearly home and in part because I loved the work that had gone into the animal shapes that the thatchers had put on top. It was a big thing to me as a kid to see that and know that uniqueness and individuality were things that people like and appreciate.
At the bottom of the page is a picture of the wall that is on my walk home from my old school. This wall always seemed strong and sturdy, like a wall should. Now, as you can see it lies toppled and broken, a result of the strong winds we had in December and an all too humbling reminder that we aren’t invincible, no matter how strong we might seem and how stable we might look. Given enough force even the strongest wall will tumble, no matter what those 3 pigs might say…

Hello, it’s been a while!
I guess I had better fill you guys in on what I’ve been doing since I haven’t been posting. Here we go.
So I made a few birthday cakes, there’ll be a blog on that soon, maybe not here but I shouldn’t foreshadow! They went down a treat and were a lot of fun to do. I made a really cheap, really simple parrot costume for a party, met a lot of new people, developed friendships with some existing people, cooked a christmas dinner for 8 people, all of whom were full of compliments for Tom and I, swapped gifts with some uni friends and then I came home for the holidays.
Whew, lemme catch my breath. Ok, part 2.
I got home, helped decorate the house, did a ton of christmas baking, wrapped presents, celebrated christmas (did not have to cook this one), caught up with old friends, introduced new and old friends and went for a walk, drank a copious amount of coffee, had a sober new years eve filled with board games, wrote 2 assignments and drove back to hand them in, worked at my old job, went to a volunteering fayre, drove back to Portsmouth again, drank a dangerous amount of caffeine to write a consultancy report in a short space of time (I should have started earlier), handed it in, had the worst caffeine comedown ever and then drove back to spend a week relaxing at home, which I am currently doing.
Oh and I started a new blog, you should probably check that out…Eat, Sleep, Procrastinate
So what did you guys get up to whilst I was gone?
A Confession January 17, 2012

At the moment I’m finding it really hard to sleep. I have too much going through my mind. It’s making my stomach hurt and it’s making me restless.
So I best try and make this best of this confession.
There is no-one in the world I could love more than Charlotte.
I love her with all my heart and more.
We were together for 3 and a bit years, over which I tried my best but I was sometimes an arse and it was my fault she walked away from me. I feel so horrible for it, if I could turn back time itself I would change how I was and be the man she loved.
I would do anything just to have her back in my arms again because the feeling was unparalleled. I want to be perfect for her, take her out, do the things she wants to do with me.
I would give my whole life just for her to be with me, I know I screwed up but I know in my heart, feeling like this, we can be amazing together.
I love you Charlotte.

2012: Let’s build a rocket boys…. January 2, 2012
Posted by juzzthefuzz in Uncategorized.add a comment
So, 2012 has finally come around and I feel I should start with a few doomsday puns….
You’ve just had your last ever Christmas by the way! Hahaha, saves money I guess. That’s if we survive.
So, maybe, if the world MIGHT end then I thought this year should be filled with a good few projects to see the year through.
As you can tell from the title, it involves space travel.
Starting today I’ve been heavily working on an attempt to be the first amateur rocket into space on amateur fuel. There is a team in the US doing the same and I kinda want to have the beating of them.
The whole project started out as an idea for a huge firework for new year of 2013.
Then things got a little out of hand and I found myself with rocket motors weighing 2.5kg each, having 3 in a cluster and the whole rocket being 1.7m tall, ish.
Also, after having done a few calculations, and using some altitude calculator, I ended up with the rockets burning for half an hour each, travelling at 391mph and having a final altitude of 157km (97 miles, well into space at 62 miles)
I’m sure most of you will shun this project, saying it’ll fail or I’ll blow myself up.
So I’m starting small, a few materials tests here and there, then moving on up to the big stuff.
There are a few considerations to be made, such as making 6kg of fuel and fitting it all in the tubes, storage and firing location, notifying the CAA and all that. But, I do believe I can make space.
There will be a camera module inside the rocket to get some epic footage and this will also be uploaded here for you to view in awe.
The rocket itself is already designed and I just need to go about actually making the damn thing. I have a few ideas in mind so don’t think I’m not going to be able to do it.
Woooooosssshhhh!!

Napping November 22, 2011

The Nap – A little recharge of your batteries!
We all have done it at some point, I’m sure. Yes, even you. The one person sat there thinking “I most definitely have not!” We have all, at some point, had a nap.
Once seen as an activity reserved solely for small children and the older generation, napping has recently seen a resurgence for the younger generation. Or perhaps it’s just us lazy students…
A lot of people that I know don’t like napping. They think it wastes time that you could be doing other, more productive things in. To them, naps are seen as an activity undertaken by the slovenly, work-shy amongst us. To these people, I say “Take a nap and see how you feel afterwards!”
Naps are something special. They make you feel healthy and recharged, ready to keep going throughout the day. As an example, I used to have an early lecture, followed by a relatively large gap in my timetable, before having another lecture that afternoon. Now, some days I used to go into town and do some shopping to waste away the hours before my next lecture, but mostly I napped. Just for an hour or so, I would come home, settle back on to my bed and take a little nap to get me ready for the afternoon so that I wouldn’t be doing “The Nodding Dog” in my lecture.
All in all, naps are great! Just try to limit them to an hour or so, otherwise it just becomes another sleep and that can really mess up your body clock.
Sweet dreams 
Napping is perfectly acceptable when you’re a student
Budget Brands November 21, 2011

Today I want to talk about the idea of budget brands. We all know the big branded companies like Heinz and Coca Cola and quite often, buying these brands can be expensive. Since they are often seen as “the best of the best” these companies often charge a little more to reflect their position in the hierarchy of consumerism. But are they really worth the money?
That’s where budget brands come in. They are less expensive versions of everyday products but, for all you snobs out there, are seen as more prestigious than the supermarkets value brands. The products usually taste the same with the smallest difference, because let’s be honest, how much difference is there between two different brands of beans? The range of the budget brand stretches rather far, from the food staples that everyone buys to the alcoholic drinks that we all like to occasionally consume. With that in mind, I’ve decided to share with you my favourite budget brands, that I’ve found in my local Tesco.
1.Trattoria Verdi – How much difference is there in tomatoes? Really? TV tastes good, is cheap and does a range of products, from tinned tomatoes, to passata and puree.
2.Oak Tree Lane – A range of products are on offer from this brand including those student staples of baked beans and packet soup. Good value for money and quite often cheaper than the value brands!
3.Spirit Of Louisiana – Not so sure that this is a brand but I like a tipple of alcohol every now and then and what better way to enjoy it than cheaply! Spirit of Louisiana is an alternative to Southern Comfort and just as tasty.
4. Old Samuel – Bourbon, much cheaper than Jack Daniels and I can barely taste the difference! It makes you wonder why we pay more!
5.Sun-Sip – Cola and lemonade are just two of the products offered by Sun-Sip and both taste good enough. Maybe not the best replica of Coke or Pepsi, but hey it’s close enough!
Well there we are, next time you’re doing your shopping look out for budget brands! You might save a few pounds that way!
Allotment. November 20, 2011

Ahhh, they joys of gardening. Something relaxing to do on a Sunday morning which also breaks your back :/
My allotment up on the A4 has been much neglected unfortunately due to my impromptu trip to Spain in August, leaving me with the problem of many weeds.
The problem got worse over the coming months as I decided to literally kill myself at work with an insane amount of hours (320 in a month) and I ended up with a nice phone message from the allotment people saying I needed to clear my weeds or I would be evicted. *gasp*
I promptly sorted this with a quick 2am trip up in October to amend the weed problem and to save any veg that had survived. I got lucky I think, I managed to save quite a few beetroots and severally odd shaped carrots.
Time has now passes and the weeds have started to grow so yesterday my dad and I popped up to the allotment and started its long needed overhaul.
The whole plot is almost covered in manure now half of it is covered in black plastic sheeting to prevent the weeds from returning. Hopefully.
Next year I’m hoping that I will have it flourishing with many different fruits and vegetables.
Want some Rob?

Changing the game…. November 18, 2011

So, I’m back again with a new blog on my new device.
This device I am extremely impressed with and should be a great addition to my blogging arsenal.
I went out today and I bought myself an iPad 2. 16GB WiFi edition. It is bloody fantastic.
This hopefully will give me more flexibility when I am out and about to do a little more blogging and take some pictures at the same time. (Plus, the spelling correction on this is also very excellent)
Even though it doesn’t have a very ‘tactile’ keyboard, it still feels extremely comfortable to do a lot of typing on.
I also bought the camera connection kit for it, and thanks to a few vouchers I had and my McDonald’s employee discount scheme I was able to snag £425 wort of kit for about £378.90. Pretty nifty I think.
I was tempted to stick with the Android theme and get an Android tablet but I still think there is a lot of work to be done to make it a worthy OS opponent to iOS 5.
Yours in iPad-ness
