It has been a long time since I last posted one of these and I fear an epic catch up blog would be long and quite frankly boring. So here is how my life is looking right now...
There are things I have strived to have in my life for many years now and they are:
-A loving girlfriend (who can I see spending the rest of my life with).
-A place of my own (with the above).
-To be content in myself to live a Straight Edge lifestyle and not require drugs and/or alcohol to enjoy myself.
and finally
-Several tattoos and piercings including: sleeve, chest and leg tattoos and lip, ears and nipple piercings.
Nine coming on ten months ago I believe I have found the first one on that list (brackets included). Ok, we did not meet in the most romantic of places or in the most romantic of ways but the key thing is we met. My life has improved in so many ways since she has become a part of it. Unfortunately we do not get to see each as much as either of us would like to, but this makes those times together even better, and there is very rarely a time when we do not spend time speaking to each other over the phone or online - yes, I know
.
Now having a good paying full-time job, with genuine good promotion prospects, and being 26 years of age (and having someone in my life I want to take the new next step with), I felt it was finally time to move out on my own.
I have been raised with the hatred of renting - as it sucks so much of your income that unless your lifestyle changes dramatically you won't be able to save up and afford to get out of renting and get a place that is truly your own - so I have had to wait to get enough financial backing to afford those initial fees to get myself a mortgage.
Right now I am in the middle of getting all the necessary paperwork completed and by March next year I will be proud owner of a mortgage and a one bedroom apartment in Belvedere. This has been an extremely exciting point in my life but I can also vouch that it is certainly one of the most stressful things you will EVER do.
If you have read previous blogs of mine, to which I know there has not been one since November last year, you might remember that I have said several times how I wanted to change my lifestyle as I am fed with those foolish drunken nights. Obviously as I am still saying it now I am yet to have achieved this. However, I feel now is a great time to start as my life seems to be changing dramatically and all for the better, so surely I won't need to drown any sorrows in a pint (or five), also now I have the support of a loving girlfriend to help me not give into the temptation when socialising with friends.
The last one is certainly not as a big as the others, and with the introduction of a mortgage I do not know if it is financially viable, but I have a lot of ideas for tattoos and I want to express my creative side by having these designs on my skin (even if they will only be seen by a few people on rare occasions).
For those interested I hope to post a month by month update on how all these things are going. Or I may just have no spare time again and then not want to spend ages writing an epic blog and leaving it for another nine months. We will see.
