I'm in the middle of like Stuff here, y'know

Rightio I thought I would update my weblog even though my site is down, to keep me like busy. Plus I am sick to death of seeing the post below. So yeah, new websites eh? they're great, well this one's more a triumph of design over function but still. I kinda like it. Although I'm sure I'll be sick of it in a few weeks or so. Yeah well this better be a long entry to fill up loads of space to make it all look good and proper.

Oh no it's that Nelly and N*sync song on the radio. That blows. "Pop" is just so good and then they went down hill, trying to be too hip and stuff. I wonder when the eastenders repeat is on.

ah well I think this should do.

oh yeah now it's a link a day today it shall be...


NO WAY

Paul Has Quit S-Club 7

no way man that's wrong, WRONG I TELL YOU

oh well superman is on

ohh happy birthday carolyn


GREEN?

You'd think that all of the thousands of weblogs out there at least one would use green as a main sorta colour, I mean it's not asking for much, it's a basic color. You know comes from mixing Blue and Yellow (or it just exists if you go by light). But yeah it's a much maligned colour, one that should be used more oftenly... ah oftenly now that's a good word to use if there ever was one. eh eh? where's me washboard.

Well I'm done with this blog for today, still need a stupid green site. And I really should start revising

In other news I'm going to a drugs conference thing tomorrow. Coolio


Hey ho it's summero

It feels summery oh, I have also been redesigning my website which is always fun, although I have two problems with it...

  1. it is really girlie
  2. it have to learn how to use paintshop pro to get it all working and to make a cool graphic
  3. it only has two pages, I think pop ups are inorder and lots of them
  4. it's very stereotypical, but then it's stereotypical in a good way, I hope
  5. and finally <again> it's really girlie, but I like it.

Now I go to paint woohooo, and then to a park to throw frizbees and stuff, yay


And todays award for most indecisive goes to... ME

I've decided to redesign my website, woohoo yeah. But as exams are coming up and the such I am doing it on a reward scheme kinda thing. If I work hard I get to work on my site. Wow my reward is web editing, I am such a geek. Yeah so anyway while the redesign is going well, I have become terrible indecisive over stuff, like I can't decide how my site should look... so I have decided to list a huge list of sites I am using to inspire me.

Lardpony, What? it's greeeaaaaatt.

The Music, I'm not a major fan of them, but it's a fab website...

Bee, I only really started looking at this site the other day, but it's soooo webloggery and stuff

Everfelt, it used to be sooo good, where has he gone? sob, his autumn design was the best

Electrichamster, wins too as it full of codey goodness.

well that's exercised the geek in me for a while. I shall now go on about how amazing the simpsons is

it's great isn't it? as is Futurama


An exercise into breaking child labour laws

So instead of telling everyone about my boring day, I decided to actually do some research into the evil corporate abuse of child labour laws that is S-Club Juniors. In case you haven't heard of this new pop phenomenan/evil plan to take over the world. It's basically a younger version of S-Club 7. But anyway, it seemed like an important and relevant topic to research so here's what I dug up on the internet

  • They're all between 11 and 14, meaning that while they are all in secondary school, they are still too young to work for more than like an hour a day
  • There's 8 of them. Which is stupid as the S in S-club stands for Seven (at least that's the rumour, either that or super). This just shows that already their pop work has started to affect their education dramatically, causing there brains to shrink
  • They all have popstar names, which is especially suspicious as apparently they where recruited in a popstars stylee audition contest thing (A popstar name is something that usually is quite short, sounds American, is actually an abreviation of another name, and quite often ends in a Y). Seeing as all their names are so perfect for a band, this can only mean one of three things.

    1)They where recruited for their names rather than their talent

    2)They've been cruelly forced to have there names changed to be more popband-esque

    3)They are all manufactured clones, created by Simon Fuller

    Oh yeah their names are Daisy, Stacey, Calvin, Rochelle, Jay, Hannah, Frankie and Aaron.

  • One of the band members was dropped and has never been heard of again... I quote from this article taking from S Club 7 tower

    "Connor, a member of the new group S Club Juniors, the group who was put together on the popstars-esque show S Club Search and are currently on tour with S Club 7, recently departed from the group. Rumours of the reason for his departure are flying around, most of which say it's due to the recent controversy over Simon Fuller being accused of exploiting the children in the group. Connor left before the group began to promote themselves on the S Club Carnival tour, and most likely before they began recording their new single."

    They've only been going for a few months and already band members have left/been assasinated because he tried to escape the forced labour camp that is S Club Juniors

  • Their new single is called "one step closer", this IS not a cover of Linkin Park, but instead it's actually a tribute to them. According to some interview I made up, Calvin from S-Club Juniors said... "Yeah we are all Linkin Park fans, I mean the way they dance and act and stuff, it's just such a good example for all of us aspiring pop acts. Plus they have that whole hate your parents angst thing going on so well, one day I hope to truely despise everything as much as they do, but right now I'm too into the whole 'I love the sunshine and flowers' sorta thing, and I rely on mumsie and daddy soo much for comfort that I can't really hate them. I mean who could I turn to when I have an owie if I hate them?"
  • After watching there new video I have discovered that these poor kids live in an evil school, thats a cross between Hogwarts and Sweet Valley High. In this school they are forced to dance in front of the entire class and pretend they are enjoying themselves. Such an event will clearly be traumatising for any young child.

So yeah I think that we need to start a campaign against the evils of S-club juniors. NOW. We can help these kids. Hopefully.

It's amazing what you can find on the internet


Oh Canada, Oh Canada, how still we see thee lie

Right you know how everyone says that sarcasm is the lowest form of wit? Well I suppose I kinda agree with that, until today at least when I found something far lower. I have decided in a burst of arrogance to name it after me and call it Marcasm. I'll demonstrate by examples.

first we have normal sarcasm...

Random Pearl Jam Lover (lets call them Lauaffoobshik): "Hey Dude, download some Pearl Jam"

Average Person of Good Taste and Poor Humour who dislikes Pearl Jam: "Yeah sure, because I'm a big fan of all of Pearl Jam's stuff and I want more of them in my life and I don't think they're boring or really bad in any way, shape or form"

You see it's not that funny, yet has the desired affect of giving a valid reason for not download Pearl Jam while having the off chance of making someone laugh. That is if they're sense of humour has been dulled to the point where everything is funny, (eg an American)

Now lets take this same question and I'll demonstrate a Marcism

Random Pearl Jam Lover (lets call them Lauaffoobshik): "Hey Dude, download some Pearl Jam"

Mark: "Download Pearl Jam? Yeah and while I'm at it I'll go chop off both my legs, shave all my hair off, run around naked for a bit, then kill myself with a blunt spatula."

Lauaffoobshik: "Ummm okay..." Thinks "what a weirdo"

Mark: "and then, after I'm dead i'll bury myself with a walkman permenently playing Pearl Jam on a loop shall I?"

Lauaffoobshik: "ummm if you want too" Thinks "that doesn't even make sense, what a freak"

Mark: "And then I'll..." starts to mumble incoherently

Lauaffoobshik: "what? okay I get it you don't like Pearl Jam" Thinks "If I run maybe I can make it to the door before he notices"

You see that's an example of an obvious marcasm.

In conclusion, marcasm is like sarcasm but without all the amazing redeeming qualities of sarcasm, and it goes on much longer, and it doesn't really have a point, and you have to mumble, and did I mention it goes on for ages...


Good news! the brain transplant was entirely succesful

Good news everyone. I can go back to assuming my position of righteous angst against a certain girl called cafferine's music taste. Pearl Jam that famous grunge band, now go back to sucking again. Sorry Caff but Immortality sucks. Wooohooo. Hooray for bad Pearl Ham songs reinforcing my bias against them.

Buffy was lame tonight. After a few good episodes this one was a bit well ummm stupid. I mean it was good in the sense that there was no big plot twists and no emotional drama that turns Buffy into dawsons creek with vampires, BUT, it was stupid. I mean, I'm all for killing monsters, but an old woman with a snake coming out of her head? that just sucks.

Well now I'm off to learn Plug In Baby.. woohoo


Britney spears... wait this isn't a search engine box

Popex has gone all blaaargh. Although it seems to have been fixed there are still errors all over the shop, also no ones been trading so all the stocks aren't going up at all. I'm going to buy and sell to start the ball rolling again. Everyone buy Neil Diamond

In other more cheerful news, people where more cheerful today especially after a good lunch. People seemed to be happy and stuff. Which is always nice. Good Good Good.

OOhhh but in proper news Me, Caff and Laura met a mini seb today in school. After I asked "are you a goth" he replied "NO" and then tried to push me lots. Which was funny. but there we go. He looked like seb, (he had his nose and eyes and hair) but was also clearly a goth and had lots of anger, it was funny okay? but yeah he was like mini wooles, but mini seb.

I'm so boring lately


AND THEY OBEY *duh-duh-duh-duh !duh!*

Right so that Gomez eh? I know that the vast of your majority for some inexplicable reason despise this amazing band so I'll keep it short... Got the tube to Madia Vale. And tried to find the BBC madia vale studos and all these buildings are like super posh and me and my brother are like "it can't be this one" but it was and it was amazingly posh. So we went, got some chips, came back and went in. And it was like sooo cool. There were like 60 people, I was right by the stage, and there was an open bar. Sweet. And Gonzales was this dude who was on first, who was kinda comical and stuff. Which was good. And then Gomez where amazingly good, and I was soo close to one of them (ian if you want to know) and they where all super cool and amazing live. With really witty banter and dinosaur sounds. And then I slept on Helen's house's floor, and then I went home. The end. AMAZING

Also in other news POPEX is bust. Grrrrrrrrrr

In other other news Stoobs ain't feeling so great, so I reckon we all buy him presents


Darrrlingggggg I've given up fags and drugs now baybeeeee

So guess who went to see Gomez live at Madia Vale Studios in London for Radio 1 yesterday? That would be me. It was very groovey but as other interesting things happened before this I thought I'd write about them too.

  • First in the great order of things was that the train I was on had one of the driver's windows smashed through with a brick. This wasn't very nice of the people who did it, but what really annoyed me was after the whole tannoy thing came through saying "vandals have smashed the drivers windows with stones" this woman further down the carriage was all like "The real question is why weren't those kids in school?" Who said they where school kids? she just assumed that all vandals are. Grrrr
  • I got to london. I went to Camden. Camden=the greatest place to shop on earth. I saw some cool clothes but had no money, and I found a Promo copy of the new Gomez album. Which was good. Oh yes.
  • Met my friend Helen (she's the one who lives opposite Noel Gallagher) and she was all excitable as she is, and I met her friend Tillie. Who was all like "I can't go to this French thing on Wednesday as I'm flying to New York" and everyone's like "oh okay, whatever". Then she told this story so unbelievable I will have to try to recollect it all and write it out, it was something like this...

    Me, Helen and Tillie are walking down to Helen's house, and we are talking about her drama thing which she has just done

    Tillie: "So I was like sitting on the stage in my underwear"

    Me: "What?"

    Helen: "Oh yeah she was meant to do the whole play thing naked but I insisted that she wear a bra to do it"

    Me: "What??"

    Tillie: "Oh yeah, but it one of the rehearsals it all popped out and I had to put them back in, and I was told off for it" laughs

    Me: "What? Told off for them popping out?"

    Tillie: "No told off for putting them back in"

    Helen: "yeah because the piece was all about control and stuff"

    Tillie: "apparently I should have let the guy doing the scene with me put them back in as that would have been more fitting"

    Me: "gwahaa?"

    Tillie: "yeah, I should have just carried on regardless"

    isn't that like the bizzarest thing ever?? I worry about these strange London people.

  • Me and Helen went for coffee just off oxford street and saw no-one famous whatsoever. (okay that wasn't really interesting at all)
Then I went to Madia vale but this post is sooooo long I won't drag it on, plus it was soo cool it deserves another seperate post


RUN TO THE HILLS BEFORE THEY DESTROY US ALL

it got in at #9! #9!!!!!!!! whaaaaaaaaaaat?? oh deary deary me. Although it's all for a good cause I can let them off. But still IRON MAIDEN. #9. If I was dead I would roll in my grave in my patented grave rolling device. But I can't.

Hey you can really hear the bass click in this song.. OH NO WAIT THAT'S STEVE HARRIS'S JOINTS.

*thank you, thank you very much*


"After a while we can sit and watch them all rush by"

Yeah so today I learnt an important thing about Popex. Basically it's DON'T BUY OR SELL EARLY ON A SUNDAY MORNING. Let me explain. I was just checking my shares before I went to church and sending some important e-mails and stuff and I thought I would see how Rik Waller was doing and I was all like "OH NO LOOK AT THE GRAPH, HE'S ALL LEVELED OUT, HE'S GOING TO CRASH ANY SECOND" so I sold like a monkey on speed selling stocks very fast. And then I was like "well I still have busta rhymes, OH NO HE'S STOPPED GOING UP AS WELL AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH SELL SELL SELL". So I flogged him too and I was like "well that's that done... I'll just buy loads idlewild. OH NO NOT IDLEWILD TOOOOOOOO ARGGHHHH". And then it clicked, as it was really early on sunday morning nobody was doing any trading so all the stocks had levelled off as they where being bought and sold. What an idiot. So I bought them all back again. well I guess you live and learn.

GOMEZ IN 1 DAY


Maybe they've forgiven you??

So the highlight of last night was mine and Seb's conversation about the bingecrew and this whole amazing idea about... BIBLEOPOLY. It all started out as we walked past the potters wheel and inside where the binge crew, drinking and stuff. And Seb was all like "those guys hate me" and I was all "why man" and he was "remember ages ago I hit howard and stuff", and I was "oh yeah but that was aaaaaggggggessssss ago" and he was "not everyone's a Christian, Walley, I don't think they've forgiven me." So I was like "you never know, I bet they'll be all like 'Hey Seb have a sit down and have a non alchoholic beverage. We're about to play Bibleopoly, wanna play?' "

So basically I've decided to create a game called Bibleopoly, it's like monopoly but BIBLICAL. So far we've got Jerusalem as Mayfair, and Ummm Bethlehem as Old Kent Road. And you don't build houses and hotels, but churches and cathedrals. The best bit is the whole money thing. THERE IS NONE AS MONEY IS THE ROOT OF ALL EVIL. I'm not sure what impact this has on the game but I'm sure it won't effect it too badly. Also you don't get chance at all, it's not chance it's God's will. And the pieces are like Sandle, Whale, Donkey, and the infamous biblical Battery (okay that's just to please Seb but still. Now obviously this game needs some work, like how it would finish as there are no winners in bibleopoly, but still it looks promising.

WELL IT DID TILL I FOUND THIS...

Bibleopoly

Ages 8 and up. 2 to 6 players.

This best-selling game has the popular appeal of MONOPOLY weaved into a Christian theme. Move around the board and build churches as you go.

The object of the game is to be the first player to build a church in one of the Bible cities. In BIBLEOPOLY, you cannot win by destroying your opponents, you can only be the winner by assisting your fellow players. This act of cooperation is what allows you to gain the things neccessary to build your church and be a winner.

The game takes about 1 hour to play.


"Whippin Piccadily tonight"

So I got my thing to get into the Free, Exclusive, Intimate, Live On Radio 1 Gomez Gig. I would scan it in, but then all you HUGE Gomez fans out there would download my scan of it and print it and use it to get into the gig. Which is wrong, I'll try and steal a set list and scan it. Right so my friend Helen can't come which means that my brother John moves up to first place in the seeing Gomez live stakes. I need to call him now actually. Right I promise no more Gomez related posting untill after the gig (except for maybe brief "GOMEZ IN 2 DAYS" style things at the end of each post), because I know how irritating it is to read about how great Gomez are.

So what's happening tonight? Ummm I'm not sure, I know that Caff and Laura are staying in. Seb wants to see Kate, but he doesn't know what she is doing. Jaclyn and I are probably going out to meet lots of people but late as she needs to do makeup and I need to eat food.

a little later...

well I see I left this up while I went to eat some food... mmmm food. Right now that's out of the way what was I saying? nothing important? oh that's good. I'll stop then

right after I say this

GOMEZ IN 3 DAYS


GOMEZ BAYBEE

I just won tickets to go see gomez for free at madia vale in london. this monday. YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS. oh yes yes yes yes yesy yes yes yes. IT's a small radio 1 gig too. Oh how good is this


The old folks are losers, they can't work, computers

So one funny thing happened today in school hours. Me and Chantal where walking down this corridor right a break time, as you do and all, and as we where proceeding along and all, some little kid (first year or second year or possible third) was all like "blah blah mwayyyr" in a very poor imitation of my voice. And Chantal was all like "aren't little kids really annoying", so then this kid comes up with the wittiest reply ever he was like "yeah and your mum". And it was like "Bwahahahhahahaha" if all kids can think up today for a reply to anything slightly rude is "yeah and your mum" well... I dunno. But it was sooooooo funny.

I other news the Egyptian aardvark God's arm is now completely separte from his body and resting on near the Qu'ran. Speaking of the Qu'ran someone should start an Islamic Jihad against Mr. Lewellyn because he picked up the Qu'ran without washing first


"but you'll just moan about it, and I was only trying to get a rhyme in"

I'd like to apologise to Cafferine Jones and Ashik Pyramahamid. I am going on record and saying that Pearl Jam have written one of the bestest songs EVER. Everyone go listen to "Release" by Pearl Jam it's absolutely amazingly brilliant. Seriously it's the best song I have heard in ages, the way it builds to this spectuacular climax. It's very beautiful, and reminds me of Jeff Buckley and Gomez and "touchin' up" and Delirious and "Obsession". It's good.

In other news I wrote a song, well I've got the lyrics but I can't get the chords to fall into place, it's all very power chordish but they just sound a bit out... hmmmm I dunno

"RELEASE MEEEEEEEEEEEE"

Also "Old Folks" by A is soooooooo much better than "Nothing"


Boing Boing Boing snap

Today Jaclyn was upset, but I hope I have made it up... I hope so anyway. Umm that's it, my my these posts are boring as of lately. Now boredom, that's a thing that's boring.

SEE WHAT I MEAN??? oh dear... I will now go get some humour lessons. But untill then think of funny catchphrases...

"I KEEL YOU" and "Where's me washboard?"

Oh also in NME they reviewed a gig and said it was the most amazingest gig ever and I WAS GOING TO GO TO IT. but ran out of funds. bah


THE STAR TREK EXPERIENCE

So I'm listening to this lost prophets interview and they start talking about the new video in Vegas and stuff. And the interviewer is like "so have fun in las vegas?" and then one said "when you go to vegas, don't go to the casinos go to the star trek experience", and they talked about the star trek experience for a good few minutes. woohoo they're nerds. YAY!


If you God falls over, twice, it's time to get a new God

Right so anyway, I can't remember what I was going to write about. But I will shortly and kick my self for a bad post. Well maybe not... I'm all confused because I am tired and feeling fat. I say an early night for me tonight.

I could say how I'm not brainwashed, and it annoys me when people think I am. Do I look brainwashed? do I act it? bah. Oh well. Ah my stomach is full of curry. Mmmm curry. that's all for today.. I promise I will think of something funny for later


Oh why won't you just pick random words?

Seriously I'm bored. MSN won't sign in, I've got to finish my essay and I am deliberating stuff on my secret project. Also I want to go to a gig. And I don't want school. This post goes out to all the bored people out there. Big up my homies. I think. I'm not that hip although I did shop at Marks and Spencers the other day and go some cords. I think that makes me hip. I don't know.

lets get outta hereeeeeeee.

Update

in other new news, I have worked out half of "been training dogs" by the AMAZING COOPER TEMPLE CLAUSE. just a bit of the harmony part of the song and the cool picky bit which is probably very hard so I will make up something that sounds similarly funky. Then I shall jump round my room and play it. woohoo. Also R.S. progress okayish. 2/3rds through, I reckon I can be done by 23:30. Good good. Also for stoobs pleasure A are on radio1 right now. but I can't tell him because msn is all wrong. Maybe I should ring him? better not actually as it's almost over and it's late. ish.


When Good Muderous Vigilante Mobs Go Bad

After three months of campaigning to destroy all townies, things are looking bad for the vigilante mob. Having been holed up in Jaclyns house for days surrounded by townies things are looking grim...

Wooles: "Look we're stuck in here and there are a thousand townies around us and I can probably take 900 of them but the other hundred might prove a problem"

Stoobs: "He's right man we've gotta get out of here, I say we all learn some Hendrix and some Crüe and jam our way outta here"

Pixxe: "No way Brian May is better"

Seb: "No way! We need to learn some Steve Harris, awwh I love that Steve, more than anything else in the world" Kate Slaps "except Kate of course, I love Kate"

Carolyn: "We gotta make like a tree, and split"

A brick smashes through the window and hits the floor, bounces and lands on Jasmine, concussing her

Mark: "This is getting us no where, we need a plan and a better one than just telling them all to "stufff aaaaaaatt!!". Poor Mike, he was so young"

Jaclyn: "They never found his body did they?"

Bungle: "I'm sure where ever he is he's happy"

Carolyn bursts into tears

Seb: "how about we throw Chantal to them and make a break for it while she's being brutally killed"

Stoobs: "thats your plan for everything, and didn't she leave us to join the whole Anti-jock war on the other side of town?"

Wooles: "ah now that's a real war"

Kate: "I know, I could talk to the squirrels and get them to go for help"

Seb: "Kate that only works in the powerpuff girls not real life" Seb see's Kate's facial expression "I mean I'm sure that'll work"

Stoobs: "I suppose we could always call the police"

stunned silence

Mark: "ummm, that's actually quite a good idea"

Stoobs: "well I am going to Oxford y'know" *winks*

as stoobs starts to dial Roger walks in with a bloody axe in one hand

Mark: "Well that's the end of that problem"

Wooles: "I was just about to beat them up"

Stoobs: "I KEEL YOU"

AUDIENCE BURSTS INTO LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE


My heads tired and my heartaches, I'm half a world away

So yesterday was Friday, which was a nice day. I wrote a post about music taste below which is probably a very valid theory and will go in my theory section along with Bob's theory on sleep. But anyway, basically Friday night eh? It all started out smoothly. Idle msn chat, went out bowling and then pizza for a friends birthday, and then I headed off to meet my other friends (wooles, stoobs and penny) who where somewhere around town. So I run into them almost immediately, well after a brief convo with some people I know but still. And we all decide to go to that famous resturant that is the UNDERGROUND. So as we head up along oxford street, we pass Our Price, Woolworths, and are just walking past that pound store when these two townie dudes walk past, one quite short and scrawny and one quite large and taller, and we are all like, "meh ignore them" and walk past them without even looking at them. Me and Stoobs are discussing something highly interesting... probably guitar stuff I can't remember. And Wooles and Penny are walking a bit behind. And then I hear these townies call me a poof. Which is like to be expected really, whatever, so we carry on, and they decide they don't like us. So they turn round and start walking back after us. And they heckle a bit, but again, it's probably just townie hardness and stuff. And then just before we get to Derricks Records, the shorter townie (lets call him scrawny townie) runs up behind Wooles and swings at him hitting him in the face and knocking his glasses off. (this did not hurt the mighty wooles as the kid was a) scrawny, b) drunk, c) a bad puncher and d) Wooles is quite tough). So we all turn round and Wooles is like "why did you do that?" and scrawnies all like "coz you're not from swansea and your weak" and spouts all this nonsense, and then the other (he can be tubby) joins in, and stuff, so Tubby comes over to me and stoobs, sensing we might be easier than wooles and penny. First things he pulls Stoobs plastic bag containing two cans of Carling off his arm and he's all like acting hard and stuff, and I'm like "back off man it's not worth it" then he goes back to see if scrawny needs help with Wooles (he does). So Tubby goes over to Wooles and Scrawny comes over to me and stoobs and he's like "gis u r mone" and its all "whatt?" and we work out he wants money. I can't think of a sensible answer to this stupid question so just ignore it. Meanwhile tubby still talking to wooles and penny. Then stoobs is all like "oh just go away" to scrawny, and tubby comes over and is like "what did you say? what did you say?" and Stoobs is just like "I told him to go away that's all man" and then Scrawny hits Stoobs like twice, and I'm all like back off both of you. And Stoobs, annoyed at the whole stupidness of these townies hits Scrawny on the head then pegs it like mad up the road towards the kingsway. Scrawny runs after and slips over and lands on his ass (hilariously funny). Then I see scrawny has dropped his cap, so I pick it up and give it back to him, and say "I don't want to fight" and he swings at me and starts yelling about how I punched him. And I'm all like I never hit you I don't want to fight, but he swings wildly loads and hits me on the back of my head and on my lip and by my nose, and then again on the side of the head. And i'm all like "I don't want to fight" as he tries to hit. Now Tubby sees this is going on and comes over and pulls scrawny off, whose still flailling wildly and knocks one of stoobs beers (or maybe one of Penny's he took) out of Tubbys hand. And Tubby's like "hold my beer man, I'll get him, HOLD MY beer" and he's all like to me "did you start on my cousin? did you punch him" and I'm like "no I didn't punch him I don't want a fight". And he moves forward and Wooles is like "just run man", I think "that makes sense" and peg it to the Potter's Wheel, where I run into Tim, Chantal and Laura, and The Critchster (jon). After explaining it to them all me and Jon head back to see if we can find anyone, but they have all disappeared, so we head back and then there is some general counselling of Chantal because she was all upset, and some laura cheering up. Jon goes to the Underground and can't find Wooles and Penny and Stoobs, but then wooles calls and is all like "you okay, we got the police looking for you" so then we all meet up, call the police to let them know I am safe then head to the Underground for some coke drinking and then all get a taxi home.

THE END.

Mike and Stoobs will have written about this by now. But I will write about my disgust later. It's just the facts for now.


I sing to you in your sleep, but then you roll over and it's gone

Right so today Chantal got *cough* ill *cough* and went home first lesson and as everyone was either ill or doing computing, I was sitting alone doing psychology YAWN (which she didn't even ask for coincidently). So "the Box", was on tv, and I was this sucks, then Alien Ant Farm and Movies comes on. Which is sooo annoying now, I was annoyed with it after the first release and now I'm super annoyed with it, it kinda sucks. Anyway, someone rushes over and turns it up loads. And I'm all like mentally "Aren't you sick of this song yet? it's been on tv constantly for like the last 2 months" but yeah so it got me to thinking, then writing, this...

I wonder if you're music taste is dictated by your attention span. What? Well think about it Pop is great right? Everyone likes pop occasionally, but it's kinda like it gets repetitive after a while. Like sweets which taste great but make your mouth go all horrible and manky after a bit. And it's like I want a glass of water and some real food. Mmm real food. But yeah, candy = all the same really, and it just gets so irritating after a while. Also it seems the more you are into music the less pop you like. Maybe that's coz you don't listen to music enough to find the pop annoying. Or maybe it's because you can stand it for long periods of time because you have a high tolerance so something that sounds really fresh one day still sounds fresh. So I dunno, I guess I'm saying that the more you like music the more you crave complex deep stuff. Maybe that's why you're meant to play babies classical stuff. And that would be why the songs I really like, what I like about them changes. And maybe that's why super intellects seem to like classical stuff.

So that's my thoughts on that. It seems to make sense. I think

Bowling soon, as I can't bowl I am going to be there for pure entertainment, Maybe I should try to use the ridiculously heavy ones? or the really light ones? I dunno. Ah well. HAPPY BIRTHDAY BEN


Sparticus, wait this isn't my login box

So yeah that was an awfully pessimistic post last night especially for someone who had just been to counselling. Today I have more of a reason to be unhappy than yesterday but I don't think I will be. I say NO TO BEING UNHAPPY (such a shame, such an early death.) But MSN convos are evil, they make you paranoid, and stuff, like you don't know what they mean and get confused about emotions and things. And they are evil. So from henceforth if you wish to talk to me about anything serious, well anything serious directed at me, use the phone. Or e-mails. Because I get confused. Thanks for that.

In other news Biffy Clyro aren't supporting TCTC on the dates I am seeing them, but TCTC and Vex Red are supporting the Super Furry Animals, for MTV2's day of MTV's 5 night stand. But the thing is all tickets have sold out already. But still I get to watch it on tv, that has to be such a good gig. Ah sweet TCTC. Anyway in other TCTC related news, I am going to try to work on my now good buddy Rees, getting me backstage. I doubt it but I'll work on it none the less.

And that's all for today. Tune in this time next week, to find out you missed 7 posts about stuff.


Ho hum

Today was uneventful. The end. Oh I went to a counselling thingy. And I sent too many text messages again. That was about it. I still haven't gotten any cooper temple clause tickets.


You do it to yourself...

May I register my complaint at the stupidness of my psychology essay? why did I even ask that question? I dunno. Okay so this is the thing. My 1500 word psychology essay that is due in tomorrow. It's stupid. To get an A all you have to do is copy out the text book chapter about attachments (this would be easier if we had our textbooks of course). But basically it's a really really stupid assignment. It involves no intelligent thought really. Synthesising thoughts and words and creating your own ways of explaining something? Nope just paraphase chunks out of the text book and get an A. I'm going to complain tomorrow about how insulting this essay is. School should primarily teach you to think, then teach you information. I mean they go hand in hand in theory. I have been in school for 13 years of my life now, and by now I can think fairly well. So why, oh why do they give me essays asking me to copy out bits of the text book and regurgitate notes. Can't they ask why? instead of how? Stupid school system. I am seriously going to have words with Ms. Carrol tomorrow for wasting my evening making me copy out chunks of the textbook. And if I get an A or a B or I am going to complain and ask for a lower grade as I plagarised so much information. That should be good.


Henceforth you shall be known as Gertrude

THIS IS A PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUCEMENT

Tomorrow for some English assignment we will all be calling Kate, "Gertrude".

If she changes her mind about her new name she better tell me.

Also another public service annoucement... THE COOPER TEMPLE CLAUSE ARE TOURING AGAIN! yay yay yay. Buying tickets to the Cardiff gig... hmm TONIGHT. Best live band ever.


The Aardvark god... his arm... it's... fallen off!

So what happened today. I'll tell you what happened today. Nowt. Well not really nowt. I had some nice free periods... mainly me and Seb rushing round checking Popex to see how our shares where doing. (mine=great as always). Also I sent embarrassing text messages to someone mainly because Laura got my phone. I think that was it. Also me and seb are great at worms. Although I sometimes have problems walking. too far. But that's about it.

My chief point of this post though is how stupid my psychology essay is. Basically we've been told to write a lot on attachments. That's the question. No structure given, no real clues other than include these four people. So I will muddle through that.

I am painting tonight though. which should be fun, well actually I don't know what is happening tonight but I am guessing it'll be messy. Which'll help procrastinate.


Run to the hills... run for your lives

I was listening to Iron Maiden earlier. It's no Radiohead. Also website of they day goes too... Nanopops for being just so darn funky. it contain such class lines as "lets rock and be successful" "Nirvana rock and be succesful.

Also I would like to henceforth state that "planet of the apes" is NOT a good film. At least the remake isn't. I mean it makes no sense and the best acting is by an ape. So it's not that great

The end


Stuff

Don't you hate it when you set out to say something meaning well and trying to be nice and helpful and end up being all evil and stuff. and yes I am talking about a specific event. But it happens, usually because you don't know something or the other person doesn't want your advice, or I don't know there are a multitude of things. But anway it sucks. And then you get all angry about it. And then you forget the point of it anyway. It sucks. And then you're arguing with someone even though you don't mean too. It's all very annoying.

And the other point which now probably isn't the time to say but anyway, if you have an argument with someone that you start even by accident don't you hate it that when you apologise the other person doesn't feel they have to, even though they where really mean to you. It's like if someone else started an argument and they apologise well then everything you say is declared void. I am NOT talking about a specific event today. But it's irritating


So that Eastenders eh?

After last nights boredom and pessimism below (go on read it) I feel cheered up today. So much so that I have written a list of thing me and Mike decided would make Eastenders more interesting

  • More Car Chases: Apart from last nite when was the last time we saw a good old fashioned car chase? When whatsishisname went of chasing after Pat. And that was in a rush hour.
  • Lightsaber Fights: Lightsaber fights are cool. Simple really. Really the only good thing about Episode 1, also lightsaber link in with...
  • Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon Type Fights: Those fights in that film where amazing. Eastenders could benefit from some of them. With lightsabers.
  • John Woo Style Gun Battles™: You know like peggy rolling across the bar with a shot gun, and Beppe with two berattas diving across the E20. Also if you're going to have John Woo Style Gun Battles™ then you'll need...
  • Matrix Style Special Effects™: And not just in gun fights either, but in every situation that needs jazzing up. Like when Phil walks past Lisa, everything could slow down a like swing around them. yeah
  • Give The Cast Magic Powers: Okay so I haven't discussed this one with Mike but I say give certain members of the cast magic powers. Like Phil could have like POTATO POWER! and become like a potato. Fairly useless, but still. And Dot could have the power to freeze certain people. And Jamie would have the power to freeze his fringe in place. And no power on earth could then move it.

Now if everyone writing Eastenders could read this and make the neccesary adjustments that would be great.


Well look at me the dopey socialite...

Yes as you can see this friday everything went according to plan oh yes. Well not really. But basically I am home. And MSN is bust completely and utterly and won't let me sign in. My new soundcard that I bought with my own hard earned cash refuses to play more than one sound at once, meaning I've wasted good money on a piece of junk. And NO before you suggest anything stupid, I can say I have tried it all with this stupid useless thing and it won't work. It's just compeletly and utterly pants. It even has the lovely effect of adding static and distortion to songs. It sounds like it needs to clear it's throat. Stupid thing. Also there is nothing on Tv, also MSN won't sign in still. Apparently it's too busy. Grr well this was fun.
