so it was another long weekend and we decided to go for a bit more camping action, this time over to vancouver island…scenery was pretty nice, weather was decent, sea was fookin freezing and the bears were greedy!!
I can confirm that “bear coming your way…” is not something you really want to hear from the people camping next to you!
Took loads of photos, seemingly mostly of trees… and none of bears (grabbing a camera has to be the last thing you think about) there’s a couple of albums here and here.

it’s only been a few months since I last updated this pish…however i thought i’d do a brief one, since it’s lunchtime and i’m bored…
recent events have included; jumping out a plane at 10,000ft, camping on a tiny island, canada day celebrations…and erm….well, that’s probably it!
Have finally got the camera back in action so got a few nice snaps of the camping trip, but not of the skydive….camera was left at home just so there was no documentary evidence of me shiteing/pishing mysel! (neither of which actually happened)

I can recommend a skydive…it’s not as bad as you think it’ll be, well apart from when you’re sitting with your feet out the side of a plane and rocking back and forward before some bastard pushes you oot!

one day i’ll put something interesting on here ……maybe

also, i am trying to get a new visa to stay here, so i don’t plan to go back to living in scotland anytime soon, but we’ll see how things pan oot…

so my laptop’s buggered, looks like i may lost all my uni work, websites, photos and tunes! what an absolute BUGGER!
I can’t even remember the last time i updated this, but for anyone that has it bookmarked as barireid.com/blog please just change it to www.barireid.com

have i updated since my work trip to whislter?!
I managed to swing a days skiing and a nights bantering in whislter which is absolutely shit hot! i was falling about all over the place on the last run of the day, which was nice - can’t show any photos since the computers fooked, but take my word for it, its some place!

the monday after that trip i handed my notice in…what a great employee eh?! but i’d have enough of cad monkeying, i managed to work there for about 6 months without a single thought passing through my heid! Started with a new place straight away which has, so far, been the total opposite getting to think about stuff and speak to consultants etc…

Other stuff i’ve been doing…. well made it along to the hockey to see the canucks, who won the game 6-2. It was a great atmosphere, show’s what letting folk get pished in the stands can do! Going to see the vancouver whitecaps season opener this weekend, and still playing some fitba too.
Had some plans to return back to scotland for eiggfest weekend, as i had heard king creosote may have been playing, however that has since been shot down, so plans have been scrapped!
This page gets more boring everytime eh?

its getting there….slowly…..still not sure about the overall design but hey ho, and the flash image bar only lets you click at the top left of each image, which is nice!!!
some of the project galleries look good, others are having some formatting nightmares!
good to get the radio on here…
