A Weekend and a new or repeat circumstance

 So this past few weeks has been a suck in work of nearly non stop visits after and also it's getting to the point of no return for some parts. Stress levels are going high and mistakes that have been made I've rectified it no matter the time it's taken. But it seems like it's going to be one of those moments where things are going to seem at their dirtiest and also worst in both work mishaps. 


This could also be called the first social visit not work or family related since 2019 but that in this case might be a bad things. 




the Sunday 

In June to be fair has been non stop and it's even been the second sunday in a row of working which has been fine but the bike, that bike has been having shifter issues for a few weeks but it was finally the case it packed up. It was stil ljust able to be going between visits. The heat was getting hotter and lovely for time of  but working as distance is a nightmare l. It even feels hotter than the day I cycled to oke on 



 It in the end of it, it turns out I managed to get to the customers in an hour and that was having to walk up hills, which was goin lg to get worse as I was able to make sure I was ready to struggles once I had to leave the shop , since the customers was a 10 minutes away so easily. I then manage to crank it up the hill and it was really struggling, but to be fair pelting it on 6th gear was fair breeze since I've done that last week as well, but in the end the battery was carrying the bike and speed, lumburn was ok and if using batter and hurting my wrist on forcing it low gear. But then it was the new bridge and other hill near the station, it crippled me and I took 20 minutes just up that, had to walk it up by the end since the battery went completely flat. But then that was that and another evening sorted out, I relaxed and then tried to do some bits before it was too latez I had a nice refreshing tea after a shower since the heat brings out smells. But then salmon and some salad felt just right for this. 

The tea on the sunday, chorizo, ham, salad, crinkled chips,. 



After this was a bath and then parents went to bed, I emptied out the bath water into the water butts since no rain for the past 3 weeks was a bit of a nightmare for some and no wonder the hopsepipe ban got extended.Then it was train sim before bed and I crashes out about 00:30. The Dualshock 4 does it nicely. 


The Monday


I woke up and it was about 9am after a fap, then to get into shorts and tackle this bike, I wish I didn't since it was the messiest fingers and even with the kettle a few times. But it was nearing 10:20 and the rasailier was not going back on with the gears which must be the layout, so thats the end of them. I had to cancel the regualr customers. But then it was time to deced what to do..  So I left about 11:20 to walk my way to the bike shop, but I managed to get  to the rifle in 20 minutes which means i wouldn't get there uintil 12:30 then have to get the bus, so I walked back via the playijng field and got home. Then I got changed and time to walk the dog. 


That was down the road and bakc to the house to then get things ging and by 12:50, I was walking down to the station to wait for the bus, it arrived at 13:05 or so. But it was then a few on a double decker bus, so I managed to pay for that and then it was £2 for a sweaty wait to get the bus. That was about 20 minutes later. I walked my way to the shop, town was busy But i got in and then it was to sort things in the shjop like getting the wifi equipment sorted for a next visit which is why i was meant to be gone for the 14:10 bus, but I had one call to sort out before I was going to be running for the bus IO got on it. Then shortly after, i was to be on the track to get off the bus. 

The selfie after getting off the bus 

After this it was a walk down tjhe road and got the customer sorted oput with makinf sure my hands were clean since of the place needed to be clean for what they do. But eventually itwas 


That run was going for about the 5 minutes and the bus was almost about to leave, So i got on for £2 anmd then walked upstairs, then it was this guy on the bus which was being snappy and being or going to smack his carer's face in and also was moaning about his tablets, which it was distrubing and a reason why i am lucky to now use that bus to plymouth very often. The heat was hot and the views were the usual and nerves were kicking in a bit, but it was goping tor be fine, until i got a DM partway through which means I could not go to delivery straight off. 


The wait for the bus to get to plymouth. 


But I did and then got into the mutley by about 16:35 which was 4 minutes to rush to the train station, but i was meant to be going to drop something off to someone from the past but messages were it was too early to visit and drop off, so itr was time to walk to town to have a look and see what was about, even in the last 20 minutes of the end of the day, things looked good and the sun was out, What i didn't realise is that places close at 6pm and not 5pm which is like quite intreesting but with the summer it seems like a ncie touch.  Bjut then it was passing drakes circus and checking if the bike shop was near staples, it was not. So I walked back via the place and to the mall. Superdrug expanded, Krispy Kreme moved and then when walking out, there was some renovations on the street, but then walking past and it was incredible to see more fast food outlets like popeyes, Chopstix. 


The Views passing the box 



But then it was going to the part of passing the old place of game and it was a sweet shop which has replaced, but turns out they were the shop thaty was selling the imported gfuel cans, which was a fair amount of flavours, too, but the rice mix looked nice and lots of koolaid sachets. The staff were stocking the chumpa wumpa fridge where i was looking at the cans too. But then i walked down to the Evans cycles and they had the deailuiers and also a single chain which after getting pics if needed, it was then a bit of time to wait, which waiting, then chatting to a chap while repairing a by and he said the shifters are not in stock but out, but the plan then was a single chain and then a chain removal tool to shorten it to make it easier to use. £8.49 + £14.95 was the cost for each item. 


After that, it was time to head back and go to poundland, so that has some ideal things on offer, Jeans were going for a 10 or 12 quid but were in, but then it was going to be the case of having to think about it, I also need to talk to myself about getting some cables for train rides home but I kep forgetting, so i'll keep on in for another time. Alas it then leads to the choice, it was 17:55 and time to decie, do i run to drop this thing off or still walk around town. I decide to run to the place and it was only 7 minutes away, even though it was a swet and a half. On backroads and then to get there. 


I mamnaged to semi sort things out and leave by 18:20, messaged them thoigh it was in the wrong letterbox but that should sort itself out hoping. But then it was running past Uni to get to th station. I made it with Google Maps AR and some nice views of the lake i've not been in since a night out on a sunrise. 


The views from the lake 



I made it and use the Ticket QR to get in, SWR was pricng it at £4.60 for off peak single so that aint too bad to get back, about £2 saving compared to when i last had to get the train back via the bike. I got on and it was peaceful on this train, some cute couple on the other side and i missed chance to get a table seat. But by 18:38, it was off and i was on a sun shined journey home. 



The station and the train home 



Eventually it was 19:24 and i was off the train and walking/one last run up the hill. Which i got back in about 19:30 and it as time to get changed, the plan was to get the bike sorted but an argument with dad saying about getting a new one after 2 years of it is pretty ott, sure things change and wear and tear but those parts were cheaper and the puncture proof tyres do well, the shifting has been the only issue the past 2 months. But then it was a nice chicken wings and chips for tea.  



The chidken noodles, slaw, chips and even crisps as usual


But then that leads to thingss to be and it was back to the work as normal but well what can you do. But things are in their mind of maybe on the look up, but maybe its just repeating the past with extra effort made. But for now we just have to gamble, since work is GETTING busy which even tpyng this from days later, would be a fair week LONGER until i get 1 FULL day off. But we will see how it goes in the end. But time will be soon for me to get things caught up on old projects I've had to skip. Maybe new content is in the works.

omracer's Night out: The Timely Carnival and raving in a heatwave

Well its been an impressive weekend and various things have been happening over the weekend. With the Tavistock Carnival happening on the same day as my 4th anniversary using twitter it was time to get my ass in gear and get a vlog done.

It starts off after work, when i run home, through the fairground in the square and i get home. Then i rush to make sure everything is set up, also was having and its funny but fucking annoying in this respect, but i had a call from Sophie and Kyla again, this was i think the 3rd Saturday in a row that both have called me. heck i even put shower cream and shower gel just as they were calling me.

After the shower and getting changed, it was time to run down to find a spot and make sure i record the procession for the vlog. Leaving at 6:20 pm, i sprinted down to the place in my denim shorts and socks and sandals, it seems a friend of mine likes the style at the moment. I got there and the vlog begins at this point onwards.




The carnival was quite creative with the various floats but the total length of the procession was around 20 minutes at the most, which is quite a bad point but with the economic situation still not as proud as it used to be, its not surprising.

After i got home, i unpacked the Chinese and started editing that vlog, or at least importing it into iMovie. But it was still tasty and actually really filling but i did have a Tuna and Sweetcorn pasta tub for lunch so that might be the reason. Anyway it cost me £4.30 for both the chips and Seaweed and i added some mango chutney in there:
The Chinese takeout from Chung-Ying that cost £4.30, Seaweed and chips.
 After eating that, i relaxing to help ease the meal down, then had a shower, made sure i had everything, which would be below:

Checklist
  • 1 Passport for ID
  • Wallet
  • Glasses
  • Phone
  • Ipod touch
  • Keys
  • USB stick, you never know when it can come in handy, for a fight or even a techy issue
  • 4x condoms - 2 ribbed and 2 standard 
Also for a change i decided to wear a more summery style shirt, alot of people did like me wearing this, Bus driver liked it, some girls in oceana liked it, some chap walking past me on the street even said it was nice, so i think i know what shirt to wear out.
The shirt that i wore this night out, it was nice and alot of people liked it.


Then i headed out to the bus stop at 8:30, my feet were not as fast as usual nights out, but i was busy for today which kinda explains it. Got on the bus and these 3 not too bad looking girls and one had quite and amazing belly that i smiled as i looked at it at various times. It was funny listening to their conversations, with them wanting to go on some experience, those moments when you text someone the wrong message or even call derriford hospital and also about the big girl does weed which made me think "if you ever have the munchies, i would not say no to anything sexual with you". I got off the bus at the library and then the vlog begins. 


After i started the first bit, i went to Roundabout and had a nice glass of water after a visit to the toilet for a wee/piss. Now the toilets weren't too bad, quite nice compared to other nightclub or pub toilets.
The glass of water with ice from Roundabout, it was nice to check my tweets and fb newsfeed while sipping this :)
Afterwards i decided to pop into the casino i always like and prefer, Grosvenor. So i went in there, almost asked for a ticket since i thought i had my rucksack on me, then i realised i didn't so i just swiped my card straight in. Then i got upstairs and found a space for a Blackjack table, £5 bet was risky but i played a round and i must of had the worst luck, everyone else had an Ace and a King, Queen or Jack and i had a 9 and 3 which luckily i did have a Jack when i twisted so i got lucky, but next time, i wasn't so lucky and i stuck at 16 and dealer had 17.

Afterwards, i decided to get a drink from the bar and watched an act of a tribute blues brothers who were performing, it was quite good, i must admit, there was a cute bbw member of staff in a blazer next to me, looked like the blazer was about to pop, but i didn't take much notice. Then i walked out and headed to the barbican.

By this time i've spent in total about £9.80.

I eventually got to the barbican, i browsed around, it was busy but still just about walkable, i enjoyed black jacks for about half a song then left and walked around some more. There were a few cute girls but mostly the 30 - 45 year old wifes and mothers around so i wasn't interested.

Then i left for Oceana at 10:30 and got there about 10:45. Nice 15 minute walk in, then got my id in and walked around. Then i saw Amber Nyman, we hugged and it felt nice and last sunday we did have sizall with charley as well, which has now started a bond between us.....i think anyway. I remember i kissed her inflatable flamingo twice and chatted with her and oleisha and she even said she ate £20 of indian on that night, which i must admit, is enticing considering i've had some attraction to her at times and alot more recently, i even said "you should of let me fuck you". But when i initially saw her, there was her friend, Brogan. SHE LOOKED PERFECT. and i mean like dream size perfect, especially in her dress.I did have her on facebook but for a reason i vaguely remember, i did remove her, which i now regret because i've seen how sexy she actually looks in real life. I danced with her at one point and it was amazing, i was tempted to make my move/in for the kill/make out with her on the ice room dancefloor and possibly buy her one of the hotdogs, but i didn't get that far :(, she was getting flustered and hot which made it seem much hotter. Whats even better about the moment i was dancing with her was the hint there was a faster tempo dance mix of "Get lucky" by Daft Punk which made it ideal.


Lesson for you: "if you think someone looks great in a picture online,  most cases they look much much better in real life"


Back to it

I was wondering around, a danced with a few people, met a blonde called Katie and she was kinda upset that i like most of her pictures but she has quite a nice body, not bbw sized just yet :(, but of course an FA liking a girls size usually does mean shes a bbw or plump, which is understandable. 

Also when walking around, this guy that was shorter than me, bald head and smoking asked me a few questions since i think he knew who i was, then he said "end yourself" since of the possibly embarrassing fact that i admitted i'm a 20 year old virgin who is into bbws. His mate did say "Nah, its fine, hes got the balls to admit that", then i walked off.

There was another guy i was randomly chatting to and he asked about me being "facebook famous", which actually these days i'm not that famous any more on there, heck my subscriber count is under 200. (thats not including former facebook friends that are subscribed to me and actual friends). Then i explain i'm a YT partner and earn about £2 a month from there, well my analytics are hinting along those lines.

There were a few people that were wanting me in pics with them, so i did. I had Alex West convince his girlfriend to take the pic, then i had Charlotte Parker or a mate of hers asked for one. Another story is that a very petite red head walked over to me and asked "Are you Mattie LT Marker", while i was dancing in the ice room. I said yes then she whispered to her curly haired friend and i thought nothing of it. Later on i was in Woo Woo  and she came up to me and wanted a picture to show Kelsey Parsonage, so i was in a pic there. Connor Wallace wanted a pic, so he took that on his iPhone 5. Any of the pics i get are below:

Me an a guy called craig :)


At the beginning of the oceana scene in the vlog, i mentioned a girl. So the basic way about it is that i've had slight attraction to her, but not because of her looks, although she has beautiful jet black hair and amazing eyes and a nice smile, she has a very shy and uneasy personality, which does remind me of myself years ago and shes also a gamer and a cat lover which is a few more things. Basically i've wanted to meet her and i did on that night, shes was in aww or found it cute that i liked her and shes been through some breakups which means if i get a chance it might work and since it would be my first relationship, she could guide me here and there. Okay that theory will apply to any girl i date which would be my first relationship. 

But i was so close to having her serve me in the lodge bar, but the first time i didn't get lucky and some guy served me, but she smiled which made me happy to a degree, i did kinda of daydream and stare at her when the guy was getting me tap water but maybe she didn't notice. The second time, i was wating and i saw Nick Cribbit and some of his mates whom were the year above me from Tavi, since most of them shouted my name, it got her attention and it was more of an awkward smile, maybe it was lucky those guys didn't know i liked her else that would prove awkward and embarrassing her in front of her supervisor, ah fuck. But that didn't happen and her supervisor served me, so it was a fuck sake situation, i actually rehearsed the line "could i have a chance to take you out on a meal at one point but all i can do for now is tap water please". 

But these awkward moments that embarrass girls i like happens alot. I was sitting in the ice room then i have Ashleigh Lewin's ex i think walks over and introduces himself. He then asked "have you seen Sophie Hjerstom yet, shes here tonight", i said "shes right over there" pointing towards the seats next to the Toilets, then he said "would you want to play with her rolls". Now as hot as that sounds, she doesn't have rolls but she does have a good starting point figure. I made the mistake of listening to these guys and they walked me over there then i just sat down next to her, even just to say hi and like actually speak to her, but as i sat down, she walked off into the toilets and it felt like she was going to cry, that did make me feel like a complete jackass. 

So some plan came into mind to give her a £10 as a i'm sorry for being a jackass type grovelling idea. So the first way i thought was to slip it in her mates arm but that didn't work, she gave me some strange looks and the £10 note fell on the floor. But i was thinking of giving it another shot, but for me, luck comes in burts of fighting by the toilets and i was dancing with charley at the time, well actually it was nearing 2am and my feet were aching badly, but soph and her friend were over there looking so i gave her mate the tenner and explained to her to give it to soph, mostly pointed it to give to her, but then that i felt might ease the tension with seeing her in public, i don't know if it worked but i was hoping so.

That night i also saw Charley, which me and her are bonding really well as you've probably read from other blogposts. When she saw me, she hugged me really tight, which made me feel that i've chosen a good friend, especially someone whom i've been in intimate roleplay with, well being squashed and the chocolates. But i was dancing with her on an off, heck even some Skrillex at one point and i won't remember how the fuck i remember this but a dubstep electro mix of a Mary Poppins song.

I was dancing with a few people at random points, there was this skinny girl which many guys would be intrested in was grinding me at one stage, it was fun but not sexual attraction. Mostly stares when i pull out one of my moves which is a ddr style workout of the feet with small jumps, well drunk people have quicker motion blur so its a good way to show off how fast feet can move.

But it was 2:10am and i decided to head off home, i hugged Charley before i left and then walked out the main entrance, then as i was walking past the bus stops, i was chatting to a girl i've followed on twitter and i was friends with on facebook before she deleted her account. Carly was her name, we chatted for a bit and there was this guy getting in a rage an slamming his iphone to the road front facing, i'm surprised the screen didn't break.

By this time my total amount i've spent was £19.80 so i think that was reasonable, it would of cost me MORE than that to JUST get home in a taxi, so i saved what i spent by using my legs instead of a car.

Then i recorded the outside oceana section then started running back home, passing various sights and actually going to Cafe Sol and asking for water and the staff were hesitant to serve me since it was "no more orders", even though tap water is quick, but i drank some and splashed it on to my face to cool me down, then carried on running as per.

After finally getting to woolwell and getting onto the moors, it was dark but there was clear blue sky which made it slightly visible, but only very slightly, but the picture below was taken at 4:21 near clearbrook, to show you what the twilight zone actually felt like
Near clearbrook at 4:21am. Notice the cloud formations and the very dim blue sky

After that, i carried on, but parts i had to walk since my feet were still aching and in pain. Which wasn't helping me at all :(. But i managed to get to yelverton at 4:45ish which is really good, well its not but for the amount of use those legs have done, its good for me. 
Yelverton at 4:45am. Notice its getting brighter


While running back, i come across horses that are sleeping, i accidentally startle them and they sprint off, and later on, as i get to the road to the trail in Horrabridge, there was a pony that sniffs me but i then stop it from sniffing just in case it bites me again like another horse has done near clearbrook. 

Now i get near Grenofen tunnel and i find out my sister called me twice and text me asking where i was, well she was fast asleep but she couldn't sleep so she panicked. I let her know where i was, then carried on running. By 6:10am i made it home, the sun was rising and shining on my face, feet in agony and i was slightly tired. Then i got home, checked my laptop and i ended up crashing out on the sofa at 6:35am and woke up about 9:30am but still knackered, then got left a note for various chores. 


But that sums this night out up, its made me realise i'm trying on too many girls but i've still got to sort out getting my first passionate kiss, ok i did kiss amber on the cheek but a passionate kiss is what people call a proper kiss i think. This also might make it look bad with me not being as committed and loyal to someone i love but when nothings happening with her and me, there is no spark that is alight. 

I'll see you in the next blogpost. There are plans for as trip to exeter but I'll be checking when i can do that, Also i've still got shoutouts to get done, so let me know if you want one, 35 places left or so

See Ya
