The Last Month of "Summer"....

So as we draw into August, the last month of summer (although this year I'm not actually sure when the first month was) and the sun has actually decided to make an appearance, although it still appears rather shy hiding behind the clouds and poking out so often for a breather. Its a sad fact that we are now only 5 months away from Christmas and a bit more until 2012 and our apparent downfall. Oh well, something for me to look forward to this week was being able to get tickets to go see Red Hot Chili Peppers in Manchester, which resulted in running around the room like a little child and then realising that Manchester was actually quite a distance from Essex, although 3 hours in a car is nothing compared to the the fact that I will be in the same room (albeit a big one) as my boyhood idols, thus fulfilling my dream. Now the countdown to Monday 14th November begins (104 days and counting).

In other August-related news, it is unfortunately the month that my car has decided it needs tax and insurance, meaning the wallet ammunition earnt from countless overtime at Voldemort's palace goes straight into the pocket of both the taxman and after going through the constant cycle of looking at car insurance comparison sites (including ones advertised by a dickhead with a dodgy moustache, a meerkat and an annoying song by a scottish lass), most likely Admiral , although after endless comparisons I still have to fork out quite a lot. Freedom definitely has its price.

In other news, I have recently discovered a work of genius by a now deceased country and western legend by the name of Johnny Cash. Now this song isn't exactly going to cheer you up after the horrible weather we're having, but it definitely sends a powerful message which is sent across by the beautiful, gravelly tones of the iconic Cash.

If you are/have listening/listened to that song, you might be feeling a bit more depressed than when you started so why not cheer yourself up with the song made by the almighty douche that is Joey Essex

Or not. It's really not as reem as he makes it out to be to be honest.

Oh and as usual the round up of my football manager game, Hearts are on target for a treble winning season and for the first time in about 20 years get Rangers and Celtic off the top of the league winners list. Definitely worth putting on the CV I think.

Now as it is quite nice outside, I'm going to go find some stupid trousers and a Michael Jackson glove and go play Golf, so for now
It's been emotional.
