Hi everyone I write to explain why I haven't been around and whats been going on in my life. A lot has happened so going to be a long blog if want to continue get comfy read on. If not goodbye auf wiedeshen sianora Ciao have a good day
So were to begin last time I bloged I was slightly high and it was my birthday I am a Manic Depressive and was high bordering on Manic. I was having a great time as I always do when I am high in mood. I was tying to choose a life path as my life has been idling for a while. I choose to pusue Computi0ng over being a musician. I have an interest and a affinity with computers. With music I have presence and a poweful voice with good range but being a sever Manic Depressive being stable enough for a band would be diffcult. Plus the funny things were thae band would have been made up of 4 guys 3 were Manic depressives and 1 normal guy. That would not have ended well but atleast we would have had a name RJ and the Manics lol XD
Yeah so I choose to try computing going to game develop got C++ course to do the Unreal engine downloaded. I have a great concept for a game I just got to find the application to learn C++ and I just haven't due to events I will mention.
So in July was of 2016 was my Mum's suprise birthday party
A good time was had by all a bouncy castle for the youngsters, plenty of food and drink and good company. Mary Rose Thompson had no idea and was very surprised by the large number of people who jumped out to sing happy birthday that was great.
This is a picture of the cake which was held at my brothers Gym and my nephew Sebastian on the bouncy castle he was almost 4 then. Sebastian is great, such a well behaved kid but has a forecful personality loads of energy still.
That next month I bought my Micro PC Skully. Its an Intel Nuc Skull Canyon 6660Q processor onboard Intel 580 grpahics but the its arebone so you can plug in whatever you like. I bought 32GB of DDR4 Ram a Samsung 950 Evo 256Gb for the insides. For storage I use two external 2TB Satas for my graphics card I have a geforce 1080 in a Devil Box Graphics enclosure. I got a new Dell 27 inch monitor that has G-sync at vast expense. I now game at 2k can't afford or be botehred with 4k.
Below is a few pictues Skully is a thing of beauty :)
Next big event of 2016 was the wedding of Tom and Emily Revel. I known Tom (Smiler is his nickname) for 15 years or so hes a lovely guy so sweet always smiling hence the name very much like the Hugh Grant trope from films but more intelligent. Tom and Emily are a great couple and the wedding was an awesome weekend in the most picturesque location in the middle of nowhere Cam and Dursley.
The day united a group of friends who had drifted apart a bit I met anotehr lovely couple Ryan and Lucy and we had a great fun day eating drinking an dancing at the disco.
Then it was my nephews 4th birthday party on the 18th of September. He gets the best parties as my brother has a hall that is a gym that he teaches Karate and Kubudo at. We get 2 bouncy castles from a friend and he has a whole hall to run and play in with his friends. My birthdays were never like this bouncy castles were expensives and were at fates and carnivals only lol. Sebastian is so lovely he gets so exicted opening presents its adorable
Next event was a birthday party for Paddy it was a suited and boted theme at the time I had a shit suit. The night was great fun Paddy got so drunk he got tagged doing karoke he doesn't remeber doing. He lost his phone and jacket because he kept trying to strip his top off we had to leave one club because of that lol. I had a great time drinking and dancing made some new friends.
In November the clan in World of Tanks imploded as certain people didn't get on with my local friends over doing a game mode for the clan called strongholds they were trying to earn a free tank so were in their right to say no and it came to a head and myself as Stronghold commander and some "disruptive elements" were kicked from Dead Friends DEFR community.
A day later Hippies With Guns HWG gaming community was formed. We primarily play World of tanks but we play many other games like Warframe, Armoured Warfare, Starcraft 2, Vermintide 2 and some of us do League of Legends, we also play lots of steam games atm Endless Legends is the flavour of the month. We are a fun friendly community we have a laugh if you want to join or want more information on Hippies With Guns message me we are a English speaking group.
Now I am in charge of my own community I have been able to setup a good atmosphere and there is none of this game playing crap from a poorly run community like DEFR.
Now to the Christmas holiday. A week before is my brothers birthday on the 18th. Me my brother and brotehr in law Jason and 1 otehr went and saw Rouge One that film was amazing. I went with Mum after Christmas so she could seee it as well she loved it to.
A few days before Christmas my life changed dramatically and I didn't even realise.....
