A Speech

Well, promised and i shall deliver.......as always. A speech on life i feel.

So, im now back at school for my...............8th and hopefully final year. Most of those who endured 7 years of comedy with me are fecking of to Uni soon.
As one of the oldest layabouts at school now, i feel i have a duty to show the youngers ones the fine art of wasting your time.......for instance playing GoldenEye, when an IT lesson awaits! I dont admit to doing this........ok i have done it once or twice. This is what 6th form is all about, not working hard to get good grades so you can get to Uni and then get a mintus degree and thus end up with a job that pays loads, 6th form is about increasing your dosser status and ending up walking in to a dead end job at the end of your two years....

If you couldnt tell, i was being slightly sarcastic there. This really should be my year of hard work to finally achieve something of my life so far, my time has surely come now.


Life is weird at the moment, for some reason i seem to have increased my alcoholic beverage intake, by a rather huge amount...only on weekends of course, i'd never sit alone at home and drink during the week. I could never have forseen me doing this many weeks back, nor could i have forseen many things, i guess in life one never can tell where its gonna go, from despair to sheer joy in a few minutes. From great happiness to utimate sadness in a few seconds. You cant ever be certain that your on solid ground. Always be gratefull for what you have, because there are plenty of people out there worse off. Seems strange to be saying all this and no doubt i could spring the old life is short cliche upon you....it isnt short, but time soon flies by and you may have missed the boat to do whatever it is you really wanted.

Dismiss the speech by all means, describe me as a miserable old git but im sure there is something in there of use........well maybe not.

I will go back to my traditional geeky ways now, the xbox awaits.

Look who came crawling back

Yes, my first blog on here for ages, i have come crawling back, this might just be a one off though...but no-one actually cares so let the shit hit the fan.
 
Right, miserable moaning git time. This hasnt happend for a long time, but tonight/this morning im making an exception. Let me talk about a pointless trip to Derby, no fairytale ending here, no silver lining, just plain old fashioned garbage. A tale of woe and dispair and a call to those robbing bastards out there, you know who you are. Okay, before i go on a few names have been changed and shop names altered so i cant be sued and all that crap.
 
So, its wednesday morning.......the sky is grey and rain is more than likely, this is fecking britain afterall, is it too much to ask for some bloody sunshine once in a while, oh i forgot we get that when im at school!!.........Me and my brother decide on a trip to derby, we go with £30 and two xbox 360 games to trade, to purchase a wireless network adapter as for some reason a wired approach for xbox live doesnt work and im far to annoyed with it to go into detail about why it doesnt work, but if networks werent such bitches i wouldnt be writing this, but i would like to say that the makers of the gateway are usless cocks whose help i value so highly that is they ever suggest to me again what i have already tried at least 5 times then i will enquire as to how such reprabates managed to get a job in the first place. I knew the adapter would be about £50, but i thought, as did my bro, that the games would make at least £25. Well never before have i been so wrong!!!!
 
We visited two shops, the first..... Small Turdly Game Shop With Big Pink Lettering, the staff as always were wonderfully charming and provided an exceptional service. Of course thats bollocks, but what they did do was attempt to rob us of everything. Trading in the two xbox games would get us £25, the adapter was £60, so overall a fiver short. Ahh well nevermind, maybe a different shop will give us a better deal.
 
Shop Number 2, i think number 2 sums it up quite well, this one know as...Slightly Smaller Home Of Bearded Blokes Which Craftliy Has Borrowed Part Of Shop Ones Name And Added Another Word So It Isnt Breaking Copyright...also know as AmusmentLocation. So the adapter was the same price and for the games they were gonna give us £24......what the fuck, what is this shite. So, for one xbox 360 game they were going to give us £6, brand new they were selling that game at £50. That to me is just wrong, fecking daylight robbery again, add to this that second hand they were selling the one copy they had at £27.
 
Now, please complain if this is an unjust rant. To me they should stop robbing me blind and they will not be gettin my custom from now on. They can take their shitty shops and piss off.
 
I am sorry for the excesive swearing, if this has offended you..........well shitdamnhellfuck
 
Meanwhile...............After strolling out AmusmentLocation thoroughly annoyed the heavens opened, no coat, no bag for our two xbox games, no hope.....
As for my bro, he had reached the crater of despair, the weather summed up his recent troubles and it was summed by saying that he was being pissed on from a great height, the world and his wife were up there slashing away and attempting to drown him in his growing sorrows. So for the rest of the day i had to endure his constant ranting.....never a good thing.
 
So having to walk through Derby in foul weather condtions with a face of misery, nothing to look forward to and the knowledge that playing xbox live must wait at least another week it was terribke for my bro, me however, yeah i have something to look forward to. But the car journey home was a silent affair, nothing but the promise of a warm home to keep us sane.
 
There you go, a waste of a day and you know what, dont i feel great about it. Nothing achieved, but importantly nothing lost, maybe just the respect these shops once had.

Well, its been a slow death......but it has finally come

Red for a change, why the hell not..........
 
Ah yes, the point of this blog......feck all. Here I go again on another pointless escapade. If only words could explain.............
 
Well what can i say, its been a good few months but this is the last blog to grace this 
space. After all the promises and hopes, controversy, bullshit, crap humour and other 
miscellaneous bollocks, its time has come. Now at this point i could rip off Matts 
highlight section, but that’s too much hassle (what fucking highlights more to the
point), i could start a new rant.........possibly. I could announce that I’m gay, however
that would be to falsify and further fabricate an already tainted story. Also, there is no 
closet. I could announce that someone is gay....again there is little evidence. A 
detective I would not make.
I could say how miserable and shitty life has become........yet again more lies. Other 
then knowing I’m failing school again despite my best attempts, life is grand. So what 
the hell is there to say....Maybe a Rennie style rant, however nothing has irritated me 
enough recently to warrant my time.
 
A reason for its end........1 view this week...........what the fuck! Hello.............
Maybe all the porkies that i told have finally caught me up with a swift act of godlike 
fury and my life is now subject to a constant barrage of suffering (ooh look at me 
becoming the drama queen). Maybe its just other commitments, haha I wish. Me+ other
commitments=BULLSHIT

Its quite clear where everyone is and if they desire to be in that place then so be it, but i wont fall to that level. Fecking benders............too busy trying to slide it in.
 
So, my dear blog....this is where we part, we have reached the river of no return, 
separate ways we move on to.
For me, to crawl into some dark hole and wither anyway, unneeded, a life that merited
a death of significant insignificance(now this sounds like a suicide note)
For the blog, to remain as a constant reminder of what not to say and how to waste your
life, so that you don’t become a prisoner to this lifestyle, go outside, see the greenery 
and live a little. Life is full............don’t go crying in the rain
 
Faithfully

Ahhhh crap.

Noooooooooooooooooo

Well, during a regular drum practise, disaster struck, or had most likely had done so a few days ago. The bottom skin of my snare has a huge tear through it, part of the skin is flapping about.......not good.

The sound of the snare hasnt altered and it still sounds fecking beefy, but im not happy..............enter gaffa tape, the tear is patched up and is all sorted for the time being.

So, this is gonna get very expensive as i reckon i need to replace a load of the skins, they are about 3-4-5 years old. Plus i desperatly need new sticks, but they are stupidly expensive for two bits of wood. Not forgetting expand the cymbal range and possibly a new tom.

This is not good at all................mmmm

Enjoy the music available and leave comments if you wish.


The gig last night at the Rising Sun........pretty good i'd like to say good turn out and a decent fee for our efforts for which i am most gratefull as i expected feck all.
Pauls dancing during the last song was, well, mmmmm,lets put it this way......not bad, infact it was comical, why the hell didnt he dance more.

Other than that, a big thanks to my brother for rescuing us with the PA of justice and working on the sound during the gig. Credit to him for not demanding a fee aswell. Good lad and thanks to everyone else who turned up.

A first

Okay, this could be a first for me. Next SpitFire band practice i will appear with a mic and lead. Fully prepared to sing a wee bit. The results could be scary.
I believe the practice is wednesday so......i look forward to a new element.
I have been inspired recently by a cd of 80s random rock shit that Terrance gave me.
Phil Collins, your time has come
