Cheezy wants to become a fighting machine

July 25th, 2005

Well people, I have decided that I have to get fit. I need to actually get into shape. “How are you going to do this Cheezy?” I hear you all ask, well that’s an interesting question. the Cheezyboi is thinking of taking up a martial art again. I done Shoto kan style karate for 6 years, but stopped doing that 7 years ago now, so i’ve forgotten nearly all of it. But, i’m not gonna do that, i’m hoping to make it more interesting. I’m wanting to study the Russian martial art of “Systema”, otherwise known as “Spetsnaz”. It’s used by the Russian military and not only does it teach you how to open a can of uber whoop ass, it also teaches you how to get your body into shape, along with your mind. It’s not a graded art, you don’t do it for belts or tabs, you do it for yourself, which I find an interesting approach. For a student, it costs £25 a month for 8 classes, full time job, £50 a month.

I’m hoping to have the cash to do it soon, so if theres anyone who’d like to join me, give me a call…or email, text, infact, even a flare signal.

Round up time

July 22nd, 2005

Right guys(and gals), I though i’d better actually write something.

CAMP

Camp was amazing. It was fun, funny and generally really good. I had the (honour?) of having to sleep in with my campers thw whole week, who were actually a great bunch of guys. We all had a laugh together and I hope to see them again soon. Sadly one of them did have an accident, they bumped their head and got sent to hospital and then home, but I hear that he’s fine, so it’s all fine and dandy. Apart from that, there wasn’t any other serious incidents, which I suspect has something to do with Alan being stuck in the kitchen all day, hehe. Something that did come of camp was “Team Mayhem”, of which I and James( a.k.a. Dinoman) are the only members. We became Team Mayhem on the last night. This was because it was a late night wide game for the senior campers, basically capture the flag, but with a few differant rules. Anyway, me and James wearnt put in a team, which was a bit disappointing, but then Simon(Leader of the game) told us our duty: “Cause mayhem with your water guns”. A pretty important job, which we thoroughly enjoyed. So we soaked camper and leaders alike. Then it was time to go in, which was sorta welcomed….but then we realised we left a camper outside, so we went to dash out the door just as he wandered in. As bad as it was, it was immensely funny.

Overall camp was fun, and its stories shall live on for another while.

WORK

I started work as a sessional playworker on Tuesday(Monday was a public holiday sadly) and it’s loadsa fun too. I’m placed in Knightswood community centre, which is literally one minute from my house, so I can roll out of my bed and into work, which is great. The other playworkers are really nice, I am the only male though, but i’m sure I can hack that,lol. Another good thing is that I get a friday off. Typical of me, I start a new job and manage to skive a day off a week already.

COLLEGE

Good news, i’m gettin fully funded for college again next year, and thankfully, it’s not a loan, it’s a grant, so I don’t have to pay it back, yaaaaaaay!

HEART AND SOUL GIG

I’ve just ordered tickets to go see Aqcuitted, Andy Hunter and a bunch of other christian band dudes. The tickets are free, so I ordered 8, cos tha was the max I was allowed to order, but they would charge me the same fee no matter how many tickets I ordered, so if you want one,it’s first come first serve, I will happily hand them out.

I think that all I got to say just now, i’ll fill you in soon if I think of anything else

July 9th, 2005

Well, have to go pick some stuff up,then finish packing,lol.

Cya in a week

Cheezy actually does some work!

July 4th, 2005

Well, not quite, i had training for my new job today.

After complaining about the council in my rant a few weeks ago, they actually decided to give me a job, that was nice of them. My official position is “sessional playworker”. I get paid £7 an hour, and i have lots of training this week. Today, we had to go through the councils policies and procedures, which was more exciting than watching paint dry, but not as exciting as Ben Affleck getting shot(still miffed bout that). They showed us a video about Glasgow, but it wasn’t the Glasgow we all know, oh no, this was the Glasgow to come. If you didn’t live in Glasgow, it would make you want to live here, cos it shows nice and pretty things(that haven’t happened yet, and probably won’t either).

Besides that, we got shown a video on the first aid procedures. It was actually a mini casualty. If you’ve ever seen the show, you’ll know what i mean. It shwed a scenario that could go wrong in some way, then it did go wrong, then we were sgown how to deal with it, was pretty entertaining(well, the bad acting was anyway).

Then, in the afternoon, we split into two groups. For the first hour, group 1(my group) done an excercise on “what is a playworker?”. this helped outline what my job actually would entail and what i’d be doing, twas helpful. Then for the second hour we spoke about inclusion of play, which was all about making sure that ALL children can join in the game, which was specifically aimed at including disabled children, somehting which i’d never touched upon before, again, incredibly helpful. The training so far has been very good, my opinion of the council has improved just over one day, as kids futures are important to them, and to me.

Training later on in the week includes:

Parachute games, ball games, games with no equipment, nonsense(don’t have a clue bout that one) and team challenges(team building stuff i think, which should be fun).

There were alot of nice people there, very easy to get on with. We all know how hard I find it to talk to new people,lol. I actually told the people i was talking to that if i was talking too much just to tell me to shut up,lol. One thing I did notice, there were only about 14 males at the training, including myself, out of 70 people, roughly. Not that i’m complaining, just thought i’d make note.

Also met a friend of my mums, who’s a student at Glasgow Uni and my mum put her on teacher placement, so she gave me a lift home,and will give me a life there aswell tomorrow, SCORE!

End of the long post

Ben Affleck deserves to die

July 1st, 2005

Ok, i’ve been thinking today(I know,thats a novel idea for me), but the thought that Ben Affleck deserves to die came into my head. And do ya know what, it’s true. What does he contribute to the world? BAD ACTING. Look at Daredevil. I did enjoy the film, but it was no Spider-Man, was it? Also, from speaking to people who have actually read the comics, DD DOESN’T kill people on purpose, like he did in the film.

Another reason that he deserves to die is the fact he’s got my woman preggers. Yep, he and Jennifer Garner are having a baby. They are also now gettin married. What does she see in him, is she blind! She’s far too good for him.

Here’s where some help would be useful. I need a sniper rifle, some plane tickets to America and a helicopter for my getaway, who’s gonna give me then?
