Perhaps my best years are gone. When there was a chance of happiness. But I wouldn't want them back. Not with the fire in me now.

I'm using the 300 Rs. an hour Internet connection in my hotel in Goa.
It's nice here, we're going to the beach. Last night my sister broke some bottles when they fell out of the fridge, and we've got cuts all over ourselves.
Goa is great.
It's not often that I'll post of a weekend, but it's 00:35am on December 25th 2006, and I cannot sleep.
I've just edited my blog slightly to include a nice picture which I like muchly.
I have not felt much like writing anything here in the last couple of days, I think I just needed some time to recover from a hectic few weeks of work and play, and a series of amazing highs and crushing lows.
So it's Christmas today. I'll sleep before now and then. And this evening I am off to Goa for 9 days, so I will not be posting anything for a while, but rest assured I should have a fair few stories when I return.
When I'm away I'll be reading lots (Coupland's latest novel is top of my list), listening to a fair bit of music, writing all sorts of song ideas and "Best Albums Of 2006" lists, and possibly playing a bit of Mario Kart DS on linkup with my brother and my sister. I might even come back with a tan of sorts.
In the meantime, please look after this shambles of a country, and look after the shadows of yourselves as we wave goodbye to a year that has become a good friend, and usher in a strange year who has been hanging around in the corner, plucking up the courage to come and speak to us.
The Bible Code said that the world would end in 2006, so for the last 6 years I've been pinning my hopes on one big shot at redemption, only to be dissapointed in the extreme by our continued existence...
Here's mud in your eye, 2007.
Went out in Epsom last night with my good friend Matt. We had a few drinks and left at 11-ish.
On the walk through Epsom high street, we encountered a group of Santa-likes, out for a good time. One of them was lagging behind, having just had a urination in the middle of the road.
He ran after his friends, pantless and briefless, his penis flapping about in the crisp winter evening.
If a tree falls in the forest and no one is around to hear it, then who the bloody hell cut it down? Trees don't just fall down, just like that.
After reading a glowing review of De-Icer (http://stevenallenstories.blog.co.uk/2006/12/20/de_icer_fun~1460150), I decided that this morning I would use the harmonious liquid on my very own windscreen. So you can imagine my elation when I saw a lonesome can sitting by the front door, replete with squeegee window scraping device.
I sprayed a liberal amount on the side windows. This enables me to view oncoming traffic when departing from my driveway. This worked a treat! I deduced that the effect on the windscreen would be magnified manifold.
Onwards and outwards with the dissolving magic of De-Icer, and BANG! The windscreen is gone! Well, clear at least. Clear as a bell... "Oh what fun" I said to myself as I stepped into my car, "I shall be at work in double quick time thanks to De-Icer!"
But alas, alack. The De-Icer was a red herring, and as soon as I turned out of my driveway and down the hill, the windscreen iced up like so much wedding cake. Before long I could see nothing out of my glass visor. Looking out of my side windows I could see that I was driving in the cross hatchings in the middle of the road.
Shaken and visibly stirred, I managed to find a safe spot in which to park whilst I let my engine warm up and melt the ice in the usual manner. So the time that I thought I had saved by using De-Icer was back with a vengeance, adding at least 4 minutes on to my journey.
Luckily I was able to get through the level crossing before any trains came, but this time would have been appreciated had I been stuck, as the windscreen would have been decidedly clearer as the engine heated up.
Henceforth I shall not be using De-Icer again in a hurry; I'll stick to my tried and tested method of running the engine for 5 minutes or so before I leave.
I think that perhaps the "De" in "De-Icer" stands for "Deutsche", and that German peoples use it to physically ice up their cars to make their car journeys as unpredictable and terrfying as mine was.
Went to PC World after work today. I had the intention of buying/browsing for a flatscreen monitor.
I've been given the go-ahead to make a room in our house into a recording room/studio. For this I will need low noise emitting monitors, more low noise instrument cables, power surge plug extensions, another desk, a comfortable chair (the one I'm sitting on now will suffice) and some sort of rug to brighten the place up. I'm going to move all the current furniture out of the room in the new year (bar the mammoth desk) so that I can realise my plan of having an organised area for playing and recording my music.
I might also buy a new stereo amplifier to connect to my PC and use it expressly for recording playback. I can also turn my current practice guitar amp into a monitor.
I hope my plans to start a band come into fruition next year, because I just spent £2628 on a new guitar, new amp, software and effects pedals. Yes, I bought myself that Variax I was after, and the Vetta II amp. Happy days.
I ate chicken for dinner.
I am 3 days behind on my advent calendar. Upper management will not be very pleased with me.
I'm going to consolidate my 3 chocolates into one mega choc and devour it greedily.
I hope I don't get any customer complaints about my tardiness when concerned with the consumption of my advent calendar.
Oh dear, what can the matter be?
Well sir, the matter is that we have a phantom shitter amongst us.
Someone within this area of the building is a very messy git indeed. Every time I visit the facilities to see Mr. Brown and his friends off to the coast, some dirty bastard has left poo residue on the toilet seat.
Now, I always ALWAYS wipe the seat before plonking myself down upon it. And once I was wiping the seat when I thought "I'll just wipe under the rim, just in case". Good thing I did too... Someone had managed to get foul smelling liquid poo stuck under the rim of the toilet seat, right where my peen would have been. No one wants foul smelling liquid poo on their peen.
How the hell does someone get shit OUTSIDE of the toilet bowl?
God only knows, and you can rest assured that when I die, that will be my first question to the big man, closely followed by "Who was the phantom shitter in my area of the building?"
To celebrate the announcement of my job permanency, I have decided to treat myself to a new guitar in 2007. This will involve a good deal of i-Browsing.
i-Browsing is a term I invented just this minute. It is the online equivalent of window shopping. I will i-Browse various guitar and instrument shop websites to find myself the best deals on both guitars and guitar amplifiers.
I have a provisional figure in my head: £2000. That is £1000 for the guitar (although I know it to be cheaper than that), and £1000 for the amplifier that I am jonesing for (although I know it to be more expensive than that).
Hopefully the new year sales will aid me in my quest to procure both a Line 6 Variax modelling guitar and a Line 6 Vetta II amplifier (be it a combo amp or a stack with head model). For the time being, the guitar (and custom software) will be first on the agenda, as I have been chasing one of these for about 2 and a half years now.
If I catch any of you using the term "i-Browse" without prior written consent, then I will beat you about the face and neck with a cricket bat.
What is the point in having a "blog" if you're not going to be humourous or at least try to make people laugh?
I just read a few lines of this blog: http://stephi.blog.co.uk/ and it made me cringe.
This woman thinks she is some sort of news reporter, going on about some paedophile moving house, and something about the Iraq war. Now, don't get me wrong, I hate paedophiles, and I think I'm opposed to war in general, but you don't have to be a preachy git about this stuff, the majority of blog readers and blog writers can make up their own opinions about things.
I'm not picking on this one blog, there are thousands of serious bastards out there. But what is worse than a preachy serious bastard..?
A preachy serious bastard who can't spell.
A reminder of our top story tonight, I'm wearing a new t-shirt, and I really like it. It's green.
If I had known what a furore it would cause, I certainly would not have shaved off my beard yesterday.
The removal took place thusly:
I looked at the handsome reflection staring back at me. "Hello, mirror man, I'm going to shave some of your face off".
I calculated that some trimming would be in order.
I shaved off the moustache wholly. Then I removed the hair running below my jaw, thinking that I might run with a chinstrap design or such. But then I thought otherwise and decided that the best course of action would be to remove the hair on the cheeks to see if a sideburn and chinwarmer combo could be rocked out.
This was not the case.
The muff on my chin was then extracted using my vibrating Mach 3 razor.
I studied the sideburns. The only qualm I had was that the top of the sideys did not match up completely with the trimming which the haircut lady had exacted. These sideburns had to go.
And before I knew it, my beard was no more. I shaved against the grain to make sure that regrowth would take an extra couple of hours. If I shave with the grain, I can expect stubble to appear before the end of the same day (the following morning if it is a night shave). Therefore, going against the grain will prolong my smoothness by approximately 6 hours.
I'm starting to get stubbly now.
If I had known what a furore it would cause, I certainly would not have shaved off my beard yesterday. Everyone and their uncles have noticed my shaven appearance. Some people remark that I look "at least 10 years younger".
"12?!"
If I had known what a furore it would cause, I certainly would not have shaved off my beard yesterday.
Short, but informative. SEO is both an art and a technology that we have to use correctly for the right type of success. But if used correctly, it is a great way to helpGoogle index the hidden pages of your website due to javascript or flash.
This limits your ability to have the search engines index portions of your site.com has the highest link popularity of all online galleries.

But if used correctly, it is a great way to help Google index the hidden pages of your website due to javascript or flash. RSS is a way for you to publish your data to an XML file hosted on your site. But, the search engines will usually only punish you if the html format of a web site is similar, not a couple of articles. se and other auctions. Live your life now - passionately.
In my opinion, you should seek success in SEM the right, ethical way.
Many website have been founded with the purpose of allowing you to exchange links with other web sites.
This has led to the advent of RSS or real simple syndication.
I use the following blogging systems for posting a lot of news and for automatic building of RSSs, ATOM feeds and RDFs: Blogger.
In my opinion, you should seek success in SEM the right, ethical way.
Users subscribe to your RSS feed via the XML file and whenever you make a changes to your XML file they are notified.
Except one traditional Danish ritual.
I have cleaned up my domestic domaine and I am ready to write. But I sure see his point.
But in my opinion the days of tremendous link swapping are coming to an end. Users subscribe to your RSS feed via the XML file and whenever you make a changes to your XML file they are notified. Who knows what the year ahead may bring, but playing your cards right, you can achieve success and avoid any pitfalls that may come. So if you do take part in link exchanges, please be moderate in respect to the number of exchanges you take part in.
The optional tags available with the XML site map allow you to be descriptive about the individual pages on your site including dates the individual pages were modified.Information is valuable.
Google sees that one! Furthermore my articles are published on selected RSSes of my own, on all the blogging systems mentioned above and on the online gallery ArtCad. This limits your ability to have the search engines index portions of your site. Now and then I run a Link Popularity Check on my online galleries to check their degree of presence on the internet.
The Link Popularity Check program is free and it is from Axandra, Germany. then red paint has been thrown temperamentally. Every time I enter something on the internet, on my own website or another web site like an online gallery I tell a story.
I use Google Alerts to continuously inform me what new things of mine have been indexed.
Andre's younger brother.
He's really tall and well built, but not fat like his older brother.
From what I can tell he has really nice teeth too.
His hair is quite smart looking, but without being too formal... Informal hair.
His beard is ok too, but not as impressive as mine; (This is NOT personal opinion and is NOT open to discussion).
Here's a haiku:
Andre's little bro
Has quite cool hair and a beard
It's ok, not great
