The Shining Source

As Stephen Tyler once screamed into a microphone "IM BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACK"

Well sortof anyway, im still pretty bad at keeping up with forums but YoBlah has always been close to my heart. A Place where the douchebaggery of the internet never seems to stick. Where mates are mates and the pints are full and frothy.

I still to this day have photos of Val (i think) all creepy with a knife, and extra rastafarian.

Ahh the times.

Missed you guys 

SEAN

How have you been?

I've been doing fair mate

Life has a funny way of working at times and it seems as though the semi-recent 'economy troubles' here in the states are being used as a blanket excuse to not employ folks 
My Dad even mentioned a sign he saw in a fast food window stating 'Now Hiring, Fast Food Experience Required'. You cant even get a job at a burger joint without experience in some places, isnt that just crap?
Even those who spent the money to get into a decent University cant find work, its just a proper mess.

I've been penning (or keying i suppose) a book together that i hope will get me published perhaps. I've hit a bit of a block recently but i think the concept is sound and it makes for a good story (in the authors humble opinion of course)

When spirits are low i drown myself in video games, been quite successful at that as of late

Outside of the usual humdrum of the day-to-day that's about all the exciting points in the life thus far.

How's the lavish bikiniclad life of Phil going as of late?

missed your charm seanikins

Let's see... I moved to the US in January 2009 and got married in April. Lived in Florida for a while, but moved to North Carolina in June this year. Working as a freelance programmer at the moment, mostly doing web stuff, but still working on side projects when I get the chance.

Hey Sean, nice to see you back!

The job market has been a heap of dung over in the Netherlands as well actually, with one friend of mine getting fired on his second day at the job, because the company lacked the personnel to train new personnel . I actually have regular contact with Val as well these days, if you like I can drop him a line to lure him back to Blahistan .

In other news, I moved westwards as well actually, now living in the UK since a month. I guess Elv should now move to the Netherlands and you should move to New Zealand and we've all full-filled our migration pattern?

Hey Sean, welcome back! This is also my first time back on Blah in a while but it's good to see us all using it to keep in touch

Unlike everyone else I'm still living where I was when we last spoke I'm married now and working as a games journalist for a few sites as well as in a games shop. Life's pretty good at the moment, busy but good.

I look forward to walking into a book shop and buying your masterpiece sometime in the near future!
