Well 30 days later... I'm about to embark on going back to see my lovely and very supporting wife.
I recently lost my mother this week rather suddenly last Monday, so i've not been on my best form this week. My wife has been very! good I would of been lost this week if it wasn't for her.
I really need to go home, to be with her. So as you may guess I'm really looking forward to going back home back home to where the keys on the keyboards are in the right place.
I can't wait to go home, to see and be with my wife and step-son.
Well I've come to be in need of money, as I prepare to move to my new life in the good olde u.s of a with my adoring wife and step-son.
So clearly not everything can come with me to America, which means a great opputanity for gamers to get some cool games from me.

err... well I'm back in England until June, and I'm having to get back to getting used to changing the address of gamespot so the U.S site comes up and not the UK site.
No offense but the U.S site is just better. People in England would be wise to buy from the U.S cause everything will be half price basicly, I got C&C 3 over in the states for $49.99 which in £, on that day the exchange rate was at £1 for $4. So you can work out the safing. So it would make sense for the UK customers to buy from the U.S.
I have to say though I saw what people meant about how the PC games are disapearing from shops. Everywhere had the Xbox and wii and ps2 games but I often got a "sorry sir we don't sell pc games here." I found they had them at Best buy but. Something needs to be done about. PC gamers should make some sort of protest or something to get more shops to sell the pc games. Espacally the pc is the better game system, even if you don't like to admit it.
I'm also having to get back to being used to a English Keyboard, Which I'm surprised to say I got used to using a u.s keyboard faster than I am with this keyboard again. The only real difference is the @ is above the no.2 key on the u.s keyboard but on this keyboard the " is above the no.2 key. Also on the English keyboard no. 3 has a £ above it and what the American's call the pound sign # is next to the return key on the english keyboard. There are other differences but I honestly have to say the U.S keyboard is better layed out than the English style keyboard.
The only problem I have with the U.S keyboard is there is no £ sign on it. Which I guess isn't a real problem, when I think about it. ex. How many times would the average u.s citizen use the £ in the average day. I just feel if other countries have the $ on their keyboards, then the U.S could be nice enough to put the £ on their keyboard.
I am missing the good old u.s and I feel like a Forrigner here now. So I can't wait until I rejoin my loving wife! lol still can't get used to saying that.
I miss her alot.
Well it's finally come, tomorrow I will be flying back to England. (WHICH SUX) I have enjoyed my time here so much. The final weight I've gained is, 13ilbs in 3 months, last night I weighted in at 143.5 and I was something like 132 when I arrived. The person who is on my old videos isn't who I am today.
The change is due largely thanks to love from a great lady, who has made me feel so loved and I return that love ever so much. this brings me to the big news I have to announce.
As of May 7th 9:45pm est. Meghan and I became one, in the exchanging of vows and exchanging of rings. Meghan and I was married. So I am now getting used to having a very lovely wife. The ceremony was nice and small in front of family and friends. I can now return to England a little happier.
The country is truly amazing, although there are suttle differences between the two countries and America having it's own fair share of it's own problems. I've had my eyes open about the truth of America, I have listened and I have learned, So when I come back I will have a loving wife and a step-son to come back to. Which makes a difference for us.
I love you Meghan forever more.
in response to the reply to my last blog.
Here is what I have noticed and experienced about U.S food.
First off, just let me start by saying before I left I was 132lbs (9.4stone) and just under 3 months I am now 140lbs (10 stone). I wanted to gain weight as I was under weight. Well I certainly gained my wish.
I wanted to be open and try different things when I came here. As I used to be a fussy eater and I never eat anything except sausage and chips. The only thing I sometimes get confused with out of habit is calling hot dogs sausages. As to the English, Hot dogs and sausages are one in the same, where as here they are different.
For the past weeks I have lived on Hot dogs from A-plus, Herr's chips, Sausage sandwich or hamburger from Valley pizza, also trying for the first time fries with cheese on. The big thing for me was trying my very first pizza here, I have come to like the plain pizza with no sauce on, I've also had my very first Omelette which I also liked a lot.
Also, thanks to some excellent home cooking I have had pork chops and tried ham on it's own. This may not seem a big deal but I have to say the meat here is simply the best. The ham here is different from what English calls ham, (especially as we been getting French and other foreign meat.) Everything I have tried here has been great.
I also had my very first pretzel from a shop called Antie Annes in Walmart. Which I loved they simply don't have them in England.
The only thing I've been really influenced since being here is being introduced to this thing call Rock or roll, oh wait Rock n Roll.
Discovering bands like, Good Charlotte,All American rejects, A7x, Breaking Benjamin also Tenacious D. Although it is more than likely that this type of music is played in peoples homes in England, it is more dominant here than I have seen it anywhere else.
Well that is all she wrote folks.
