My Crazy Ass Dream! Update Also – I thought that I would do a quick update but I have no idea what I should talk about as not much really happens for me from time to time. I’ve been filming a lot of stuff but have been having trouble with the Go Pro fogging up all of the time, which has led to some extremely disappointing footage. This is particularly annoying as I went on what was perhaps the most exhilarating ride I have ever been on two days ago. Oh well, there is always another perspective and I guess it gives me another chance to go again.

Seeing as I have very little else to talk about I will tell you about my dream that I had last night. I explained it to my cousin on Facebook the other day and I can say that everything you are about to read is 100% TRUE! I have no reason to lie to you.

“I was walking around marks and spencers in sheffield but all of the doors were like tiny and there was this weird cinema thing which led to a car park haha, i was in a suit though lol

Then it cut to a different kind of thing lol

I was walking up this massive cobbled street hill with [friend] and was grabbing onto this banner when these two drugged up women approached me and asked me for some weed lol

then i said i hadn’t got any and they threatened to stab me but i just kept walking up the hill lol

When i got to the top it cut again and i was in like some medieval battle scene against these two druggies haha

[friend] was there lol and he threw a spear at one of the druggies and killed them and then i heard this knocking which was the post man (*1) lol

But then it cut again and i was in this sort of supermarket and there was blood everywhere and i was with some other people but can’t remember who

Then all of a sudden this knocking was there and i went to the door, a glass door and there was terminator there but he was dressed like darth vader and i just let him in and he was the guy who killed everyone in the store and then i ate some bread

then i woke up

WTF!? dude, it was some weird ass shit haha”

(*1 = IT ACTAULLY WAS IN REAL LIFE BUT IT BECAME PART OF MY DREAM, WHICH IS WHY I WAS EXPLAINING IT TO HIM)

I know my IQ drops about 60 points during a Facebook conversation but I thought that I would be real and post the exact conversation. It was possibly one of the most surreal dreams I have ever had but I would pay good money to go back to this dream world haha.

On a different note, I have a few business interests I would like to get into and as I now know that my family and friends read this website and follow me on Twitter I am prepared to take the ridicule. I am looking at trading on the stock markets to make a bit of cash (I do know what I am doing). Also I have a special “project” coming up which I am not sure I should talk about so I won’t… yet.

I have more boring updates to post but I doubt that they actually interest anybody so I will leave it there for now. Also I opened a Facebook profile but I am using it for personal things at the moment. It could help me make the site more interactive between users however so I shall see.

For the past week I have been compiling an Alcohol Archive on my Facebook page. Basically it is a project that I thought would be cool to do, I am going to take an image of all of the different alcohol I consume from the 21^st of August. I will only take 1 picture of each and provide a short review, rating and specification of the alcohol. Not only will this be interesting for myself but hopefully someone will take use of it or it will encourage somebody to try something different for a change. I will track down different alcohols all over the world to keep this creative, so hopefully I will have a good time and you will too haha. I will probably update this every week or so until I find a better method of exhibiting the information.

Offering Help – It’s a touchy subject which I could write a lot about but seeing as it is 4:25AM and I have a bank appointment tomorrow morning which I forgot about I will sum it up quickly. I wave (nod in most cases actually) to every fellow motorcyclist I see, whether they are riding a Harley, sport bike or even a scooter. I’ve noticed that only about 30% of the people acknowledge me back now. Sad…

What’s even more annoying is the fact that people now do not stop for each other when a fellow motorcyclist is broken down. I’ve debated this with many none motorcyclists and people who ride bikes alike and my consensus is that even if you are simply stopping to provide support, a mobile phone or simply to make someone’s day a little better, then is that a bad thing? Taking a few seconds to see if somebody is alright can completely change a whole person’s perspective, day or even life. Put yourself in that person’s position. What negatives can it possibly have on you?

Atlas Rider – 8 Month Motorcycle Trip – I thought that I would tell you all about a great trip one of my fellow motorcycle vloggers is doing starting this Monday. Atlas Rider (of Atlasrider.com) will be starting an 8 month trip from Chicago to the Southern tip of Argentina (and possibly back up to Brazil). This should be an epic trip as he plans to document the journey through video and writing on his site. If you’d like to know more I seriously recommend you checking his site out as one of my personal dream adventures would be to ride the length of the Pan Americas highway from Alaska to Argentina.

Good luck on your trip buddy and I look forward to watching all of your posts and updates!

Go Pro HD – Dawn Time Lapse – I decided that seeing as the weather of late has been awful and i have captured nothing good on my rides i would make a time lapse and test out some of the Go Pro HD’s other less noticeable features. At 4AM i went to bed and turned the Go Pro on, setting it to take a picture every 10 seconds. It took 1380 pictures over the course of nearly 4 hours and captured what i was looking for pretty well for a first attempt. Here is the finished video:
