  What's been happening with me...

  Hey all,
  
  It's been almost two years since I last posted a blog here and I've really not been around much during that time.
  
  I dropped out of University last summer for various reasons and had to move back home following that. Working part time for several months was going well, worked from October -> March last year while trying to get things sorted. Then, on my 21st birthday, and ever since, I have been suffering from chronic headaches. They're there pretty much constantly and there doesn't appear to be anything I can do about them. I've seen various doctors, had numerous tests, seen a few specialists. None of them can find out what is the cause of the headaches nor have they been able to provide any support for them, no medication I've tried has helped so I'm pretty much stuck with them.
  
  They've left me unable to do a whole lot, have been out of work for 7 months (although did a couple of shifts last month just to see how it goes), haven't been able to game too much due to not being able to concentrate for a long period of time. Managing to cope better with it with time and hopefully I'll just get used to them so I can start doing more things again.
  
  Anyway, I'm hoping to start getting things going here again, just downloaded the podcast and will be listening to that shortly (after the F1 practice is over) and will try and start blogging again at least weekly although no promises about that.
  
  Cheers all.

  New Xbox 360 to start the year too.

  My old 360 is getting E73, which is not covered by the extended warranty, I can temporarily fix it by making the console over heat but it's becoming more and more common, so I went out and bought myself a new xbox today.

  

  Taken on my new Nikon digital camera I got today too, my new elite next to my nwe TV.

  Just have to wait for a transfer kit before I can transfer my old files from my 20GB harddrve to my 120, I needed a 120GB HDD anyway so thats not too bad. Got Viva Pinata trouble in paradise, AC/DC Live rock band, another wireless controller, Lego indiana jones and kung fu panda for £250 which is quiet a bargain seeing as less than 2 years ago I paid £300 for my premium 360 with gears of war and crackdown!

  New TV to start the year!

  After working pretty much non-stop for the past 3 weeks I've returned to Uni, on Tuesday I bought myself a new TV. 37" 1080p Toshiba TV

  This is a huge "upgrade" from my old 15" monitor I used to play my games on, it's fantastic, has all the inputs you could ever need, all the settings and audio outputs too.

  Have been playing a lot of Rock Band with my house mates, even tried my hand at singing (while playing guitar!) best I managed to do was get 91% singing Don't Speak by No Doubt (On easy) while getting 99% on Guitar! Go me!

  Picture of TV:

  

  I love it

  No idea what other things I'll get this year, now I have my TV not much else I want. Will have to see how much money I have and may get a PS3 at some point, I really want to play little big planet!
