Good evening, where do i start, gonna make this short and sweet cos i’m very tired.
I have spent most of today, sorting out these pictures from Max Power, uploading them onto my website, messing about with different options in the gallery and figuring it all out really, FTP is such a life saver..
Also added bits to my Blog and Myspace account.
Its mad how fast your day goes when you are working on the PC and browsin the net, I have been keepin tabs on Maxxd again, asking a few people for advice on what colour to paint my car, such a hard choice to make, think its looking like California Gold though.
Been networking with people in the States today aswell, just chatting really, not got too involved in business work today, needed a break from it.
Good day all in all, however I have upset someone that has read a part of my Blog, but like i’ve said to them, its my blog, my life, I don’t hide things and if it was a good memory then i’ll write about it, cos all the bad ones need balancing out.
Live & Learn & dont hold back the good memories in ya life.
More from me tomorrow, good nite.

The Train Journey
So, talk about rushing about, got to the train station in Peterborough 8 minutes too late due to traffic, should have left a little earlier really to allow for it.
Got on the train to Birmingham New Street at 12.55 and sat listening to my MP3s on my phone. I hate trains with a passion, usually full of short tempered hot and bothered people, niiiiiiiiice. Kids being moaned at by their Mum for puttin their feet on the chairs, told to sit still and read (ye, ok, like a kid will sit still on a train, its probably freakin out bein on the damn thing)
Anyway, after about 2 hours of travelling, I arrived at the station, which to me, looked more like an airport inside, must be the biggest most awkwardest train station in the UK. Avoid this one at all costs, too busy, the staff are ignorant and the price of foods just an insult.
After figuring out where the next train was,I headed down to the platform and boarded the train for the Airport & NEC, again greeted by an ignorant ratty member of staff who barged about 5 people out the way whilst screamin “this is ridiculous, not enough seats, blah blah blah”……I hope she lost her job for that….. I was beginning to think I had missed somethin today, had the station staff all had a huge decrease in wages or did I just meet the wrong people on a bad day?
The Show
After a ten mile walk through the mazes of the NEC, it was straight to the press office, see Will, get passes, and I’m in. Jobs a good un.
Luckily just as i’d got them, Olly called me from Bedford’s phone, and arranged to meet me. By this time I just wanted to chill for five minutes and met him outside along with Clare, Sarah, Cindy, Carl & Alan, they had blagged a cracking spot outside the main hall and had the Cabs & Audi A3 on show. Chilled with them for a bit, had a cig (which I should not have done cos i’m quittin but felt the need, was only the one)
Photo blast
Ok, the time was 3pm, the show was due to close at 6pm, three hours to cain it round and get as many photos as physically possible, should be easy.
Me & Olly sweeped the whole show within 2 hours, I managed to get over 180 quality photos, which will be up soon on Maxxd.com, along with Olly’s, think he got about the same knowing him. The show was quite good, not as big, but then again it was Friday, good day for us real because we had the chance to get better photos without the crowds, and walked round without bumpin into someone every five seconds.
Stopped to chat to Brooke & Sarah Crafer for a bit, they were working for Kicker & Extreme Virtual Cruise, Brooke holding a nice hangover and Sarah not being well and having a bad leg, the life of modellin eh? tut tut
We checked out most stands, collecting business cards and literature on our way and managed to blag free burgers, a couple of drinks and a windscreen sun protector, but NO T Shirts. Olly left about 5.30pm and I stayed until the very end getting a few more photos as the arena was pretty much empty.
All in all a good day, was supposed to leave at 6ish after being asked to leave several times as the show had finished, “I’m taking photos though, look PRESS” I managed to get myself a bit more time and left at 6.15 and headed straight back to the train station.
The journey home
Two trains, two hours, more music, no annoying people, nice journey, got back into Peterborough, got a lift back to Wisbech, got all my things sorted, cracked open a John Smiths, and got to work offloading photos from my very reliable and life saving W810i.
I have just installed a new gallery to my website, after a few more cans and will sort out the Max Live pictures first thing in the morning .
Bed time for me, good night

Ok, woke up, about 9.30am, had a message on the phone from Olly, wanting to know when i’m meeting him, he’s lost his phone, wounded, out of all the days too.
Right, the plan, go down, get some photos and plenty of them (Press, 
) and then talk to as many companies as possible and get as many business cards as possible. Kind of like a Marketing & Photo opportunity,
I’m meeting Olly at the NEC about 14.00, got to leave her in one hour so i’m gonna love you lot and leave you and tell you more about the day later
Sun, Cars & Hot Women , niiiiiiiiiiiiiice

Woke up today feelin a bit down, still feeling a bit pissed off with the whole ordeal, all over now though as I said, nothing is holding us back now, just get on with it.
I have spent most of today typing up some new literature for the MaxxDirectory and all about the Maxxd Organisation. I have been going back and forth changing things, making it sound better each time. This stuff takes time, it has to be right the first time or you may as well not bother.
I am wanting to get all this MaxxDirectory stuff done so that we can start getting some more clients on board as soon as possible, BUT
I cannot make the changes to the Directory that I need to, i’m no pho pro, nor is Olly, its gettin very important now, and I need some help.. there are things that need adding in, so it looks professional, DJB, aargggggggggggh…HELP 
The afternoon has gone really fast today, i’ve been communicating with Olly for most of it, deciding what we are doing with the Ltd company side of things, had another chat with the accountant, updated me myspace account, added a few folk and managed to squeeze a meal in at about 3pm.
I can see me being on here until the early hours again, once I have been out shooting for a bit, really want to get all this stuff tied down..
php kids, pls help me?
I can’t wait til Olly doesn’t need to work 9til5 anymore and we can spend more time in the day doing the things we need, before the travellin etc, I think it will give him a more relaxed mind and allow him to give himself more personal time.
I am currently working from about 10am until maybe 12-3am in the morning, its all computer based work, reading alot and researching, tryin to keep tabs on the Maxxd forums where possible, puttin ideas into actions, got a few websites to build that I keep putting off. I spend too much time on the net nowadays, think i’m turning into a computer.
I am tryin to make sure that I keep my personal site and Blog upto date at all times, something a few friends have introduced me to. It does help.
Thw way forward is Maxxd & Dijitul, i’m off to do some more…

rite, another early start, i’m feelin it now, i need more sleep
I stayed at Ko’s last night, mind was not all there, yesterday had kinda started to sink in, the whole fact of how far things have got and how so called mates can stab you in the back began to hurt me… Same as Olly said tho, fuck it, why worry about it, shit happens, and we have got lots to do and things to make happen. Let the past stay in the past and move forward.
Nothing will hold us back now. NOTHING.
Anyways, I left Ko’s about 7.45am, headed straight for the A1, what a wicked road, took me all the way towards Peterborough, then I got off and headed down towards Kings Lynn. Nice journey really, loads of nice sights on the way..
Finally arrived back at the Car Hire place at about 10.30, had the car checked over, signed a bit of paper then left, Dad picked me up, and took me back home.
Grabbed a bite to eat, got changed and went into town (Wisbech) to sort out a few things. Discussed a few things with my Dad, sorted all my paperwork out at home, then got on the PC for the rest of the day
Once i’m on it, its hard to pull myself away, I have got alot of things to be getting on with, like my personal website, MaxxDirectory work, keepin tabs on Maxxd, sorting a new site out for a friend etc etc, whilst stuffin my face with cobs & carling, keep up the energy levels and all that
Thats about it for today, finally went to bed, after posting this…. Yaaaawwn
