About Me

I'm a proffessional loafer. I've just finished my degree at Bournemouth, and it was looking more and more likely that I'd be spending the next 40+ years cooped up in an office. For this reason I've been working at my old school in September as a teaching assistant, and am doing a primary GTP course in September. This means I only have to work 28 hours a week, and get LOADS of holiday. I play guitar for a band currently called Underdog; we're in the (slow) process of recording our first album. You might even be listening to one of our songs, as I see nothing wrong with shameless self-promotion. You're on my page, deal with it. My spare time is therefore basically spent practising music, watching 'Trailer Park Boys' (or waiting for new episodes to download on Bittorrent), or sleeping. I can't stay in too much though. I love going out to the pub, chilling out and meeting friends. I hate working, Charles Clarke, R & B, 'Empty Grey Space' - for their cheap attempts at gaining a fanbase on this site, chavs, olives, BONO, U2, fans of U2, Commercial Law, people who try to add me as a friend on this site without even knowing or wanting to get to know me, Westwood, JPMorgan, wasps, cramp, Jethro, Su-Doku, having my wallet stolen, Coldplay, dropping things, Ruby Wax, cheese and onion crisps, HMV, Mick Hucknall, knowing you have to go for a piss before you can get to sleep, pikeys, most T.V. celebrities, mornings, back pain, rice cakes, hayfever, marzipan, people with no manners, spam emails, Courtney Love, being tickled, Crazy Frog, people who press the button to stop traffic when there isn't any, cotton wool, 210 FM, Jack Black, Jim Davidson, Gosford Park, nightclubs, Big Brother, English flags everywhere during the football, lager, Emo, The Weakest Link, the way they put the volume up during the adverts on T.V., pigeons, exercise, Tony Blair, being cold, wrestling, being ill, Metallica, Two pints of lager and a packet of crisps, period dramas, hangovers, pop music, tabloid newspapers, telesales, Keane, exams, 50 Cent, train journeys, not having any money and a load of other things that don't quite come to mind yet.

Books:

Anything by J.D. Salinger. I don't really read much at the moment but when I do it's always re-reading one of his books, they're all fantastic in my opinion. I can't wait for him to die (morbid I know), because then there'll be 30 years of his writing for me to catch up on! I also like Rob Grant/Doug Naylor, and I'm currerntly trying to read all the classics I never did when I was younger because Salinger was always better. 1984 was a bit disappointing; Lord Of The Flies was very good. I've also just read 'The Curious Incident Of The Dog In The Night-Time'. Very good.

Heroes:

Bugs Bunny. He never does anything except cause trouble and get away with it. I don't like raw carrots though...

Dryness

I've been ill. I crashed my motorbike. I've had no money. I've had far too much work to do. I've had some good times, but they can't really be mentioned. But on the whole,    DRY.   Loo...

Crazy

   Whoah. It's actually been quite a while since I wrote anything on here. Perhaps it's partly to do with me not having easy access to the internet for quite a while, perhaps it's because I'...

Straight outta Compton!

Well, it seems the next seven weeks will be a bit hectic. I've just finished half term, and spent most of it sleeping, and occasionally binge drinking; or just doing nothing. I did plan to sort out al...

Dammit

   OK, so I don't go to Download because all the top bands are crap, and then I find out that I'm gonna be missing Slayer, Machine Head, Porcupine Tree, Napalm Death, Orange Goblin and Cult ...

Wow. Money is certainly tight at the moment. I suppose in retrospect I did have a wicked couple of weeks over the holiday; and being poor now is literally the price I've got to pay for it. This week w...

almost there...

I've been mental busy for about the last six weeks. Paintballing, session rehersals, concerts, parties, and yesterday and Saturday I was (finally) back in the recording studio. We're not finished in t...

Monday

Mondays suck. Had a gig last Thursday which actually went pretty well; normally I find something to criticise but this this time I was actually pretty pleased. Went to Bournemouth to catch up with som...

It's a beautiful day...

...well it was, until I've just been reminded of that song by 'U2'.  I woke up today pretty much the same as every other Thursday morning - tired and a bit hungover, and running late. I got a ca...

 Is it just me or have Coco Pops dramatically decreased in quality over the past fifteen years? They used to "make the milk go chocolatey", now it just turns them a very pale brown, and it hardly...

Fridays are awesome.

   The weeks are flying by. It's pretty crazy really - I never seem to have time to do anything like this because if I'm not working I seem to either be at some form of music practice, at th...
