Woah its been so long since my last post as much as I love blogging I seem to find excuses or end up being too busy to post. Well I know I sound like a broken record but I intend to post more often and get back into the grove of things using a blog is a great way to see my goals and how my life as progressed over the years and constantly having these breaks is ruining that notion.
Well from health worries to being busy with work I’ve just being putting it off, but here I am to blog again and hopefully still have some interested readers, I’ve still being following fellow bloggers and have been pretty active on Facebook and occasionally Twitter which I’ve also started to post more often on.

Decisions
I’ve been trying to make some big decisions lately on what to do in my life to get to where I want to be which I know with 100% certainty I don’t want to stay in the UK there’s just too many things here I don’t like, that don’t suite me and frankly I owe it to myself to achieve my dreams in life. As my readers will know my number 1 ambition has been to live and work in Japan which I’m held back by the fact that I don’t have a degree, thus making it difficult to obtain a Visa when I move there, although there is one other option to obtain the Visa that a surprising amount of people have no idea about and that’s that you can get a Visa with 10 years experience in a particular field which in my case is IT I’ve already got 7 years so not far off.
Then it would just be a case of finding somebody to employ me in IT which if I had a degree I’m sure would be easier as the worst case senior I could take an english teaching job and search for an IT job while working there. So onto the decision I’ve been looking into starting a degree with OU (The Open University) which is a program that you can do from home while still working a full time job to earn your degree the obvious disadvantage to this is having to juggle full time work with part time study at a high level and I can’t afford to quit my job because of some debts that needs to be payed. On that note my biggest advice to anyone if you can avoid it don’t get into debt it seriously hampers your quest to fulfil your dreams as its currently making it very difficult for me to afford to pay for the first course.
I’m currently trying to find someway to pay for the course while trying to get my finances in order which is working out pretty difficult only slightly helped by a pay rise starting next month but the deadline to start the degree is literally days after pay day, so much to sort so little time. More on the Degree later.
I’ve so many plans for the next year or so its crazy the only thing holding me back is income so I’ve also been looking into passive sources of income a few ideas but nothing concrete yet…
I’ll have another post up shortly regarding my love of travel which is burning even more brightly after my trip to Portugal last month and not to mention plenty of pictures.
Habari
Just wanted to mention that shortly I’ll be moving from Habari back to WordPress. I love Habari and its nice clean interface and nothing getting in the way but when creating new posts or looking for a helpful plugin its just way too time consuming, I’d rather be spending that time on writing posts, not to mention that the development time for new versions seems to be way too long so many features I’d love to see but nothing seems to happen. So if you notice anything break in the coming week please let me know
