the other day I realise that I haven't bought a scratch card for a while, and while I'm down with the saying, you have to be in it to win it, it has been a while since I have been in. so I promptly went to my local shop, checked out the talent (nothing more than £1) and picked the one I liked. Mystic Dog by the national lottery was today's choice. so I paid the cashier and set off with what I hoped to be a jackpot winning card. unfortunately not, but I did however win £2. so double what I put in. I was happy!
the next day I return to the same shop, and still feeling lucky i purchase another from the kind gentleman serving. this time it was only a small £1 win. but a win never less. a few days passed, and I had considered cashing the winnings for bus fare. I decided against this however.
then comes tonight! I see the cards sitting there. I feel cheeky at the though, but could I really cash these cards in and with the winnings buy 3 more cards? surely not?! but I headed to the shop regardless. "3 more I declare" and the kind sir gives me 3 more. I return home.
I scratch off the 1st one. no matching numbers, but there was a curious looking dog face where a number should be. 'win £10' it says, so I checked the back and sure enough I had won £10 excitedly, I scratched away at the next card. the same cheeky dog face was staring back at me. another £10 WOW. fingers crossed for a third dastardly dog face, alas. I only won £2 on this card. but I was happy never less =D
and then I came to tell my story to the ocuk world.

when does family become family?
i was walking home drunk one night. this night if i am being precise, but that little bit of information will only really be of assistance if on the off chance you are reading this within the next 4 - 5 hours or so... which i doubt. comment if you are though =D
as i was saying, i got thinking. when do people become a family??
i have a group of friends.. not biggest by a long shot. but this group of friends is special because they are my group of friends.
4 of them are in long term relationships.. (two sets of two)... the rest are irrelevant for the purpose of this blog.
one of them. lets call him hayson! has been with his partner for nearly 2 years. hayson's longest relationship. they now live with each other.
the other, lets call his madam, has been with his partner for over 2 years, nearly 3.
this lead me to think. at what point do their respective partners become family..
Hayson lives with his partner. does this make them family? but at the same time, Madam has been with his partner for almost a year longer.... so surely that would make them more family than the previous....?
does the inclusion of a child bind people together to make them family? people always say "you are starting a family" when you have a child. what about marriage. is marriage the family starter? i don't know....
but i would like to?
if anyone has any thoughts or opinions... please let me know....

catch up
in the year 2010, several things happened that are significant in my life.
#1. i walked the great wall of china
#2. i attended my 1st (hopefully not last) glastonbury
#3. i graduate
of the 3 you might think that there is a clear winner, you might not. i don't like to tell you what to think. though i do think it is a good idea if you listen to what i say and take it as the gospel. i have a favourite. and this is not to say that these are the only good things. there are many more. i however, am focusing on these 3.
#1 walking the great wall of china
now just about everyone has heard of the great wall of china. and im sure many people would like to. but i have. and it was great. i cant even begin to talk about what happened on their. if you was there you know. if your lucas, then i guess you wasn't there so you don't know. but yeah, as walking the great wall of china goes. it was difficult. it was a challenge. not to forget that there was a huge walk up a steep ICEY as shit hill before even getting to the wall. then walking on the 'wild wall' the area no refurbished which is covered in broken rocks. then considering that the great wall where done up is still steep as hell. is was difficult and fun. i would repeat the whole thing step by step if i could.
#2 glastonbury.
it was awesome! highlights: stevie wonder, muse (with the edge), toy story 3, dizzee rascal and the couteeners.
#3 graduation.
this is a pre empted rave that graduation night and week will be full of fun fun fun, not suitable for family viewing. getting my degree, wearing a cap and gown, and my snazzy suit. celebrating with friends and just generally having a good time. i am proud that i got this far!... but less of the mushy stuff now.
now then... back to business.
things i dislike:
# england are out of the world cup. a shocking performance by them!
# the iPhone 4. it cant be used to call using the left hand.....
# children that think they deserve to see toy story more than adults...! oh wait well i suppose it is a kids film, how about NO! go back in time and be born earlier!
thats all for now! you stay classy san diago!

a man with a plan
once upon a time there lived a man. just an ordinary man. he lived. that was what he did... until one day, he realised he had the potential to do something bigger. something greater with his existence. so he went away and made a plan. he talked to a few close friends and family members about his plan, but keeping the overall greater goal to himself, because although he trusted those with whom he had spoke. he knew that no amount of trust could allow him to part with the the key ingredient in his life plan; his friends agreed. as did the family members. he was on a roll... but as previously mentioned, up until this point in his life, the man had only been living, so he had no funds to 'set the ball rolling'. so he went to the bank to request a loan. this was where he hit the snag, although he trusted the family and friends, he did not trust the banker. after all. everyone knows bankers are shady characters... walking around with their hair slicked back and there feet on the ground, one foot after another. no the man knew not to trust the banker. so he didn't tell him the plan. subsequently, the banker saw no reason to give the man money so refused the loan. the man trotted off back to his house with a little dampener on his little heart. he knew this what what he was meant to do with his life, and he knew it was task only he could fulfil, but without the funds he could see no future in it. the man sat in his chair one night thinking of ways to raise capital in order to carry on with his plan. he had no idea, all he could think about was the plan.....
years past, and the man had become a recluse, only opening the door on saturday evenings in the period between 6.21 and 6.34 p.m. the man would stand in the door looking off into the distance, never taking his eye off the same spot. the door would close and it would be 7 days before he would open the door. slowly a settlement formed in the areas around the man, and the house that the man had occupied for an undefined amount or time. settlements became villages, villages towns, towns became cities. the world around him had moved on, all the while the man still obsessing on his plan. his friends and family had long gone, he was alone. always looking at the same spot in the distance ever saturday evening.
february 9th. there is a knock on the door. the man does not answer. a letter is posted through the letterbox. the man makes no effort to pick it up, almost unaware that any abnormality had taken place. he man finally reaches for the envelope, struggles to tear on end to reveal the contents inside. the man drops to his knees. he opens the door and as a gentle tear rolls down his cheek. the answer to the decades of torment had been given to him. for no apparent reason, a small amount of money was pushed through the letterbox in the envelope. the man began to work. he worked all day and all night. he barely slept. he was excited. he felt in his youth again! finally his wait would be over. finally his name would be echoed in eternity. the days passed and the man carried on working. the man was complete. his hard work payed off. years of wait whittled down to this moment.
and so began the greatest story ever told.......

Urban Living
Elliot:
- Man of great size and power. Usually has his way with any woman he wants.
Thats like the elliot of trucks.
Elliot has had his with with all of our mothers. Multiple time
- some one that gets his dick sucked on a daily basis. by far the best male at sex alive. most women dream about fucking him. names included are people named jayme,jamie,or jaymie
he reminds me of (elliot) the god of fuck
i wish my boyfriend knew some of elliot's moves
- a super hot mexican boy who likes to get laid all the time. hes great in bed and has a big cock
he is such an elliot. i fucked him all nite!
no as you can probs guess this is not my definition of the name Elliot. its actually something i saw on-line that made me laugh. all you have to do is search you're name on Urban Dictionary.com its that simple. easy. and effective. seen as though the definitions are pretty much guaranteed to be written by someone with the same name, you're bound to get a good response.
________________________________________________________
now on an unrelated note, i have realised that i haven't spread the good news that is my best friend has had a healthy baby boy. which pretty much makes me an uncle (yay!) so yeah, congratulations to Victoria and her son Noah! (who is going to be 1 month old on the 17th)
________________________________________________________
now its that time of the year, or at least it is for me anyways where i have a lot of work to do, so naturally, this is the best time of the year to practise my procrastination skills... hence the urban dictionary game above! this is one way. the other, and main way i procrastinate it to browse through hundreds of youtube videos, amusing myself. it works, i'm sure you have all done the same. i recently discovered a video of a weatherman. not just any weatherman, perhaps THE greatest weatherman to work on tv. so yeah, i'm not going to ruin it for you, though i should warn you, this guy is an absolute HERO!

Pete Bouchard we salute you!

wait·ing
noun
1. The act of remaining inactive or stationary.
2. A period of time spent waiting.
since the turn of the decade I have been sat around waiting. it would seem that recently that’s all I can do. I try to invite something new and fresh into my life. but I have to wait for it. it would certainly seem that recently, I have been working to a clock that is not my own.
so as it’s a new year, I figured that people would be into all sorts of new year’s revelations. which I personally think is a load of tosh. what's so special about the 1st Jan that makes people want to change, for the next 2 and half weeks at least? imagine if a heroin addict decided to wait until the new year to stop using the drug, they could be dead long before the stroke of midnight on new year’s eve. if people really want to change, they would do it because they want to, not because society dictates that they should!
well I guess that’s the new year’s rand out of the way, back to the issue at hand. waiting. now I don't claim to be impatient, if anything this last week or so has proved to myself that I am in fact quite patient. what have I been waiting for? well if you wait I minute I will get to that. so I have been waiting for several things. the 1st is some computer parts that I have ordered. these have been on a list of things to buy for the best part of a year. so now they have been purchased and they have not been delivered I am getting a little annoyed. but since I have been waiting so long already, I figured I can wait a little longer. the second was a bundle of items that I ordered from eBay. as usual you expect things off eBay to take a little while longer to arrive. thirdly, is a game and DVD’s from play.com. now these are usually very good with delivery, but seeing as though the item in question was 'posted' on the 29th Dec, and only arrived on the 11th Jan( I know right!?!) I was not amused. now I know what you’re thinking, that’s because I would think it too if I was in your shoes. which I am not, because I only wear Dunlop Greenflash, but I fear that’s a conversation for another day perhaps. you are thinking. Elliot. this is hardly worth a blog. you’re wasting your time writing about it, and you are wasting my time by allowing me to read it! you’re a dick! yes yes yes. however, there is one more thing I am waiting for. far more valuable than a couple hundred pounds worth of computer equipment, or a few sale items off play. ooh yes. this is quite the opposite. there is no price to be put on this thing. not a single thing in this world will stop me from wanting this right now. if you hadn't guessed already, I am of course talking about the miracle of life. the birth of a baby! - no it’s not my baby! you’re not the 1st person to make that assumption, trust me. but I am excited never the less. Yes. I am waiting for a baby to be born so I can ship off to meet him, and see the mother, who I have not been able to see for over a month now! and that is a long time trust me!!!
all in all. this new year has been a little bit tiring. but that’s mainly down to the amount of colds I have had in such a short period of time!
peace XD
oh yeah, and as I suspected, Avatar is awesome, go and see it now or get the hell out of town!
5 buds out of 5!
