I am here for Friends

About Me

Hey there person!
My name is Chris Shipp, my friends and pretty much everyone call me Shippy. Once upon a time i thought i was right about everything, most people were cunts, and nothing much really mattered. I have realised, thanks to a year of being shat on by fate and life, that I am not always, but often, right, most people are fucking amazing, only some are cunts, and everything, in some way or another, matters to someone. They say you never realise what you've got until its gone. i dont profess to have undergone any major bereavement (recently), but i have learned that you've got to enjoy everything while you can. cos it could be gone before you know it. 2007 was in equal measure amazing: (I met the girl of my dreams, got in the best band i've ever been in, made some of the most amazing friends i've ever known and had some of the most brilliant experiences of my life.) And Shit: I had my heart well and truly broken, lost some lifelong friends, had some of the worst experiences of my life, got pretty fucking depressed about all of the above.
Now its time for 2008. i've learned some lessons, and im feeling positive about goin into this year. I got my band, I got my health (even if i am gettin a bit chubby round the middle) and i got a whole bunch of things i wanna do with my life hence forth. My mind is much more open, and where necessary, its much more closed. lol.
Music is the one constant thats always there for you. i love it. particularly punk rock, soul, emo, blues, rock, bits of good (non cheesy) metal and im up for listening to anything. im particularly diging rise against at the moment. they are blinding.
get to know me. i like to think im a nice guy. :D

The world is like a ride at an amusement park, and when you choose to go on it, you think it's real, because that's how powerful our minds are. And the ride goes up and down and round and round and it has thrills and chills and it's very brightly colored and it's very loud. And it's fun, for a while.Some people have been on the ride for a long time, and they begin to question: 'Is this real? Or is this just a ride?' And other people have remembered, and they come back to us and they say 'Hey! Don't worry, don't be afraid - ever - because... this is just a ride.' And we kill those people.'Shut him up! We have a lot invested in this ride! Shut him up! Look at my furrows of worry; look at my big bank account, and my family. This has to be real.'It's just a ride. But we always kill those good guys who try and tell us that - ever notice that? - and we let the demons run amok. But it doesn't matter, because... it's just a ride, and we can change it any time we want. It's only a choice. No effort. No worry. No job. No savings and money. Just a choice, right now, between fear and love. The eyes of fear want you to put bigger locks on your door, buy bigger guns, close yourself off. The eyes of love, instead, see all of us as one.Here's what we can do to change the world, right now, into a better ride. Take all that money we spend on weapons and defense each year and, instead, spend it feeding, clothing and educating the poor of the world, which it would do many times over - not one human being excluded - and we can explore space together, both inner and outer, forever. In peace.- Bill Hicks
