Revell Without a Cause

After I moved out of my old house on Royal Park Grove (good bye and good riddance! though I will miss the views of the sunset) and into our new flat on Kelso Road I decided to give up smoking. I am now living with my cousin, Cj who doesn’t like smoking at all and to be honest it is an all round good idea.

I thought at first it might be hard, but it turns out that moving house is an excellent strategy for giving up! As I found myself in a new environment, with my computers in bits and all my stuff piled around me in boxes, I really didn’t feel like lighting up. This is the first and most important step, breaking the routine and replacing it with a new one. I took up eating instead!

So now, even when I have my computers, my music, my movies and my lighter at my finger tips I do not want to smoke. I gave up on 1st July, over six weeks ago. Since then I have been much more happy, motivated, coherent and generally with it. Perfect timing for the year ahead where I will need every brain cell and every muscle working flat out to finish my degree!

Those with keen eyes will have noticed that all my old blog posts have disappeared, except the old welcome announcement. I have decided to revive my blog, and to change the theme of its content (but not the graphical theme; I am too lazy and I happen to like it as it is :p)

[Edit: OK, so I found a new theme I liked even more]

After reading over all my old posts it occurred to me that most of them had a very negative tone. I cannot guarantee that I will not continue posting the odd rant but I intend to keep the the tone as light as possible. This generally means less politics and world affairs which tend to depress me totally and utterly, though if I can find a light hearted way to comment, I will!

As I am about to re-enter my final year at uni, I have computers and technology on the brain so expect a lot more computing related posts (I know Kieran would be proud!). I have also decided to import my blog into Facebook, bringing it to a wider audience.

So on that note, welcome back to my blog!
