Ups n Downs, Topsy n Turvy

Howdy members!

Well, my first blog, not really sure what to do with this so I thought why not start with how you mean to go on?What can I say, its been an up and down, tops turvy 14 months so far and if you are wondering why, read on.It all started about 2 years ago, after my divorce I turned inwards, damaged goods let's say. 

I worked for the same company for 12 years and I must say, it was a good 12 years but life needed to change.  It all started when I was head hunted by a large Weymouth based Retail company and for all those south westeners I am sure you know which one.  I went through the usual 2 interviews and received a job offer, I couldnt believe it that such a really good company was offering me a top job and they wanted me now.Being a seperated father, a home owner and comfortable in my current job I had lot's to think about.  My Ex stopped me seeing my son (another story) albeit the £500 I was sending her a month seemed to be enough and my house was in negative equity so I thought hard, spoke to my sister, father and mother and they all told me the same thing.  Go for it!!! so you know what... I did. 

I walked into the bank, handed them the keys, packed up a transit van and headed south!I moved to the quiet little isle of Portland, joined my new company, found a nice local pub and sat back to enjoy gorgeous sea views day in and day out, from my office window and from my living room. 

14 months on and about to move into a new home I am quite happy, the people on the island have warmed to me and I often spend weekends in my local, having a laugh, I have a gorgeous car that brings me tons of laughs and excitement and I often take walks on the beach.Making new friends is difficult, being a small isle and not really having a social life at the moment really does bring on feelings of home sickness now and again but its passes.

Anyways, I suppose I can say life is peachy, but you know what, Im still scared everytime I see a lady and want to say Hi, yes im still single and have been for 3 years now and yes I have no idea what tomorrow will bring but everytime I look out to the sea, listen to waves crashing on the beach I know that one day I will have the chance to be with someone again, someone who will take me back out of my shell into the real world again but until then Life stays Peachy just not fantastic.

Feel [censored] to leave me comments, have a laugh, or just say Hi, it would be really nice to make some new friends, feel [censored] to message me to hook up on Facebook.

Now that I have made a start, I will try to update my blog as often as I can, I am about to move house and will be without broadband for a while but I will be back.

Thanks for reading. Stay tuned

Well I thought that it was about time I updated this, firstly can I say thanks to the ladies that have sent me some nice messages. Well, Im all settled into my new pad on Portland, it's massive, a little too big for me but I will make use of the many rooms I have now, even got a music room set up with the huitars and keyboards in. Having no neighbours is really good too.

Christmas Do, what can I say, what a night. It started in the Nook and then onto Enzos for a nice meal before trooping off to benoose. Ended up in Dusk, my first time in a Weymouth club since moving here and I must say, I LOVED IT! even got to kiss a nice lady, just have to be nice at work now lol.

Anyways, no dates from here yet, but I have not really been trying, there are some really nice looking people on here and from the profiles seem great, I am just a little shy yet but I am working on it!!

Anyways, I just want to wish everyone a merry Christmas and hope you have got all the resolutions down in time for the new year, mine is to loose tons of weight next year and I know what you are thinking 'yeah right' but loosing a few of the extra pounds will help with my confidence.
