I fail at Christmas. It’s not that I don’t like the period, I just suck at it (penis jokes are no longer funny, grow up). Every aspect of Christmas I fail at; decorations, presents and even gift wrapping! It is very rare that I buy presents for anyone, probably because i am in debt, but also because I just can’t do it. I have an inability to buy presents, which at first sounds selfish and… actually it probably is. This is boring though so lets move onto something different.
Women seem to have a magical ability to wrap presents up. They love Christmas. I’m not entirely sure why, take this for example; I have made a list detailing the pros and cons of Christmas:
PROS
“Happiness” – even though I don’t like to admit it, people are generally happier at Christmas.
Receiving Presents
More harmful to the environment – think of all those decorations, heating bills and electronic presents. I know this is in the Pros.
CONS
Less money
Reunions
Bad Weather
Bad food
Well to be honest I showed myself up there. The pros and costs are about the same but oh well. I just find it very hard to be happy while I am losing money, unless I am gaining something in return – like prostitution. Maybe that’s it! No… nevermind.
As the company i review for has limited stock due to the holidays I decided to take it upon myself to review some of my own purchases. Namely the Akito Desert jacket and Pants (or trousers if you’re English). The Desert suit is an all weather, all condition touring suit designed to handle anything that nature or the avid motorcyclist can throw at it. I managed to pick the full suit up for around £200 ($350) at a dealer near my house who shipped them in for me. The Akito brand is Japanese and as such, the sizing is a little different. I found that ordering a size up was best for me (as with most of my gear actually… now I feel insecure).
I bought both parts sometime around early October as the weather in England was starting to get a little chilly. Both items do zip together however I found that I hardly ever use this as I normally wear the suit on my commute. In the 2 months that I have had these I have done around 1500 miles in ALL WEATHER! Snow, frost, severe flood causing rain, heat and whatever else nature would like to toss my way.
Both pieces of the suit have the same setup in which they have a resistant, windproof outer layer (textile), a fully waterproof liner and inside that a thermal layer. For the most part I have had all layers zipped in.
Wow! I found this song today (don’t ask me how) and as i was listening to it i realised that it had so many double entendres it was unbelievable. I am not sure whether this was the intention of the song, i somewhat doubt it but nevertheless i felt that i had to share it with people on here. So, without further delay – here it is:
By the way, the band is called Vertical Horizon and this is their song “Everything You Want”. This is a serious band guys, check out their others songs.
Sorry about all the fuss yet again but i thought that a change of style, and server was in order. I will be re-uploading some older articles and writing and creating more newer ones from now on. The style is not yet completed but it should get there soon so don’t worry.
