Well, I have owned this car for a little over 2 weeks now and so far?
It's nice.
It's nice to look at, it's nice to drive, it's nice to be in, it's nice and comfortable, it's nice and relaxing, it's nice and fuss free, it's gear change is nice, it's handling is nice, economy is nice, the heated leather seats are nice, and hold you in a nice way, the visibility is nice, the heater is nice.
I can't say anything bad really.
Except one thing.
It's nice.
Don't get me wrong, I like the car. It is hard not to. But I like it in the same way I like not having the clap.
It is a lot of car. It has enough toys to keep anyone happy. It has nice features like the light you home headlamps, and the little plastic clip on the windscreen for holding parking tickets.
I can get in it knowing that it will work. It's a Volvo for christ sake. As long as it has an engine and 4 wheels, it will work. It is not an unpleasant car.
But, it isn't fun.
The Vitara I had was fun. No matter where I drove, I did so with a smile on my face. The Vitara was fun to drive, fun to be in, fun to look at, fun knowing that despite having a foot of snow on the roof, it will still start and go. I got in it with a smile on my face, and I got out with a smile on my face. I put that car through hell and back, and it just laughed back with that look of 'Let's do it again' about it. The exhaust got ripped off in blaenau ffestiniog, and it charged down the M5 sounding like a WW2 fighter bomber. I had ear defenders on my head, and I still had a smile on my face.
I don't get that fun factor in the Volvo, but to be fair, a Volvo isn't meant to be fun. It's meant to be,
Well....
Nice.

Rain
Why do people always complain about the rain?
I welcome it.
I love the way the world looks under the silhouette of the cloud and with the glisten of the moisture upon the greenery which becomes so much more vibrant and alive with the help of a bit of rain.
I love the freshness of the air after a good storm. The smell of the fields accentuated by the damp air that surrounds me.
I love being in the rain, feeling the droplets of life excite my skin as they gently fall upon me. The pitter patter of the drops on leaves, on the window, on the car and especially on the canvas of my tent while camping. I find it relaxing like natures rhythm, telling you that the world is alive and growing. Each little drop eventually gathering to sustain the life of millions of creatures.
I love rain and I really can't understand why people hate it so much.
So you get a little bit wet?
Be thankful for the rain. The day it stops, will be the greyest day of all.

Introduction.
I always wanted to start a blog. Never knew how to get into it. But after some reseach and a desire to share my wealth of knowledge on other subjects, I started on. Now I know how easy it is, I thought I would start another one for my own personal musings.
So here it is.
Come on in, sit yourself down, and read about the storms that rage in my mind, or the things that get me asking why? how? what? when? where?
About me.
My name is Jason Stokes, and after googling my name I am not the American Sportsman. Thus trying to get jasonstokes as a blog name was nigh on impossible.
So I tried my initials. J.L.S. But apparently there is some child boy band with that name. I am currently suing them for using my name.
So I had to call myself jasonstokescouk which was ok as I already owned the domain www.jasonstokes.co.uk so that sort of worked.
Anyway, my name is Jason. I am a single parent currently out of work, and trying to find work at the mo that fits in with my kids.
I live in the North Wiltshire area.
Hobbies and interests include, but are not limited to:
Radio Controlled cars,
Computers and gaming,
Drumming,
Model making (to be fair, I haven't done this properly in over 15 years)
Walking around,
and exploring abandoned mines.
I am the sort of person that will look at both sides of an argument or dispute, and will rarely take sides unless there is evidence to support one being a stronger candidate. My blog will often contain these sort of views.
I know it's early days, but I hope you enjoy reading that which I choose to share with you.
Jason.
