Ah, Easter

2009-04-07T03:54:00.001-07:00

So, here it is- the Easter Holidays; those glorious two weeks that are placed so agonizingly close to exams, yet still manage to seem far enough away for one to do fuck all in the realms of revision.

Yeah mate.

As it happens, I have fuck loads of work to do, but have so far accomplished little more than leveling up all my pokemon substantially (not that that's a bad thing)

Right now I'm sitting on Samm's ridiculously broken bed (the previous owner left the springs on one side so damaged that it now slowly rolls anyone aboard into the wall) listening to Pete(r) Doherty's new album through a wall, so I thought I'd put the 'mon down and have a razz at this thing- maybe I'll actually succeed in somewhat regular posting.

I'm going home tonigt, so the next couple of days may actually be productive, but I'm not going to count on it: I have to play radio DJ for an A level, man, how distracted am I gonna get?

Anywho, Samm's out of the shower now.

bye:)

Sundays

2009-03-22T15:47:00.000-07:00

Wow, I haven't had a Sunday Sunday for quite a long time!

I mean, it's been Sammday Sundays pretty much non-stop (save a few football matches) for over a year now, so this... this was a change.

I don't like them.

There's nothing to do. Well, nothing REAL to do. There's myspace, there's facebook, there's Pokemon (Gyarados FTW) and apparently there's English Coursework, but THAT'S IT!

What's the point? Why not just make two saturdays. I know that that wouldn't work, but they should make it work. God should make it work! He is omnipotent after all...

Oh yeah, that reminds me- God. Right, he's supposed to be this completely perfect being- supremely, even- no flaws, the best a man can get and all of that cal, so why the fuck does he need a day of rest? Creationism, stupid.

Well, that's my day sorted- time for lost...

Snow rant

2009-02-10T03:00:00.000-08:00

Well, this snow's outstayed it's welcome, hasn't it?

School's been closed since bloody Thursday! I'm not usually one to complain about such a thing, but I'm getting seriously bored here at home; there's only so much Stephen King, Logic and Facebook and I can bloodywell take before I want to smash my head against the wall.

The snow isn't even decent snow. It's shit frozen crunchy crumbly make you fall on your ass snow. The worst kind: dangerous and boring. And even if it wasn't, there's not exactly much more to do with it- snowball fight (done), snowman (done), get so cold you thought your hands were going to drop off (done)- now it's just bed bound boredom.

*sigh*

And don't even get me started on the lazy-ass postman! Where the hell is he? I'm awaiting on stuff that will actually keep me sane, but oh nooooooo, there's snow.

Why can't they deliver in snow? Is it because they are bound by some must-where-shorts-or-fuck-off contract? Why else? (i'm sure there is a perfectly valid reason, but I'm annoyed) Lazy bastards, get some waterproof trousers and GIVE ME MY FUCKING SMASH.

Bastards.

Ah well, back to the Tommyknockers- I got it from Samm for my birthday (July), so it's about time I stuck my teeth into it:P

Think warm, melting thoughts, people.

Goodbye.

You've gotta love...

2009-01-03T10:02:00.001-08:00

the little things in life.

Sitting on a comfy sofa with my pyjama ridden girlfriend's arms around me, snuggling all snugly and warm whilst the friendly ambience of Friends and sitcom laughter echoes in the background; steam-room stress relief leaves heart rate low whilst conscience is calmed by completed work and new found inspiration. Stomach slightly bloated by delicious potato croquettes, an after taste of ocean spray cranberry (and blackcurrent) combined with myspace and blogger and youtube. Prospect of sleeping til god knows when tomorrow morning, breakfast at lunch and lunch at tea- the ease of having nowhere to be.

When you think about it, the small things are everything...

Well...

2008-12-11T12:21:00.000-08:00

I feel like shit.

I've got some sorta bug that's apparently been going around recently, kind of a cross between a headache, a cough and feeling really really lazy. I don't like it. I've got stuff to do and I really can't bring myself to do it- it's like apathetitus. So yeah, I've been bed bound for the entirety of today!

On the plus side, in my deadness I have managed to watch two great films that I'd yet to get round to watching... Taxi Driver and American Beauty. The former was just entertaining, but American Beauty really spoke to me. It made me think about life and happiness, made me ponder over just where my life is taking me... I'm not gonna go into much detail, because I'm both too ill and unsure of what it made me think to do so. Just take it that it did.

Conclusions are hard to draw on stuff like that; it makes you pit fundamental aspects of your life against each other, creating conflicting aspirations and juxtaposed opinions. Nothing is clear. Makes me realize just how uncertain and insecure I am about pretty much everything.

Sigh.

Modern Life Is Rubbish.

So I haven't written one of these for a while...

2008-12-04T12:21:00.000-08:00

Not aaagggeess, but still a while.

I've kinda been busy (kinda is definitely the word to emphasize in that one), but in all honestly I've just been outta sync. I'm rubbish at keeping stuff up.

Oh, and yeah, I quit my band.

You may have noticed that my previous entry was kinda negative on that front. Well, it got to me. The scene got to me. The people (sorry) got to me. The fact that the music we were making didn't really mean anything really got to me. So, if any of you happened to be massive Free Will fans (lol), I apologize- they're going on without me, but don't expect much. It is Northampton after all. Oh, and I'm still gonna upload Conscious Sleep music video and I AM still really proud of that, so check it out and spread the word and YEAH.

What am I doing now?

Not an awful lot. Spending a lot of time with my girlfriend, which is nice, all other hours are spent either sleeping or doing school work. It's an alright existence, I guess.

On the up side, my mum just gave me an awesome little gadget which is half a torch, half a laser pen, so I'm pretty excited about that. I think that it's gonna bring me some serious pleasure in the coming weeks.

I'm a nerd.

If you've read this, please leave a comment acknowledging that fact.

I just wanna know if people actually read it, ya know?

Buh bye :)

Northampton's great musicalness

2008-11-09T15:40:00.000-08:00

We (my band) were supposed to play a gig Saturday.

We didn't.

The band we were playing with pulled out, so we had no choice, really.

Really?

Of course, we did- but did we want to? Nah, not really. Who really wants to be reminded of just how little a chance they stand of realizing their dreams? Not me, anyway. Sure, we could've tried, but even if we had managed to break out of our average-sized moulds and put on a blinder, who would have seen it?

All five of Northampton's music fans?

The people outside having a fag?

The people with their eyes directed towards the chest of the fit girl to the immediate left?

The people with their pint glasses raised suavely to their lips, peering over with a look of slight approval that is, deep down, only directed at the beer?

Nah, mate. Just nah.

It's hard enough for a band to make it without being in a place where music doesn't exist.

What's the point?

Even the music's shit.

There's no statement to be had.

WHAT'S THE FUCKING POINT?

Late night essay time, what joy?

'Til next time

Check it

2008-11-04T16:30:00.000-08:00

I choose good birthday cards, yes? :)

If you're interested, it says on the front: "Do you know how much I love you, Mum?"

and then you open it up and see the shown giant cool bear hug thing and it says "THIS MUCH!"

I'm thinking hell yeah?

Study Periods and Aleks' philosophy on life

2008-11-04T10:18:00.000-08:00

Ello Ello.

Right now, my friends, I’m at schoolywool. Not like a lesson schoolywool but what they call a “study period” schoolywool. Basically, you’re supposed to do work and tha’ but no-one does work, but I can’t be asked with mindless chit chat or presidential debates, so I’m writing an equally mindless blog.

Fun times, eh?

Might as well just fill you in with what’s going on with my education type thing, hmm…

Basically, I’m in the first year of 6^th form at my old school (I live right down the road, I’m not exactly gonna add a bus journey for the sake of changing school, am I?).

I’m taking English Lang+Lit (‘cause I likes the English), Philosophy and Ehtics (I don’t know why, but I likes it), Psychology (I don’t know why and I don’t likes it) and Media (because I’m good at it).

I don’t know why you would want to know all that, but now you do. Feel privileged.

This study period thing is ridiculous- why not just call it a free? We all do. Establishments such as this one love to impose their fancy titles (nothing more than jargon, really) to make things seem so much more important. I don’t like it when that happens. It happens a lot.

“Lunch time supervisor” – a dinner lady!

“Warehouse Operative” – Someone that works in a warehouse

“High Tech Retail Analysis” – a security guard!

WHY!?

Soon I’ll be known as a Web-based social commentator.

And my friend Aleks will be known as a Highway Outlaw Officer violation 5.2 (He speedz)

He says that he doesn’t bad speed. He good speeds. 45 in a 30 = bad. 35 in a 30= cooool.

He obviously hasn’t watched that TV advert… 80% chance, man, 80%.

Then again, he drives a ‘motor bike’ (*cough* ped).

Hmm… they need to revise that advert.

This really is a dire excuse for a blog.

So I’ll let Aleks write a little bit.

(*handing over*)

Right bitches, listen up.

What pisses me off these days is the global attitude people have fallen into.. Let’s go back a thousand years; objective for the day… Find food, make love, fight, sleep.

Today it’s all shit.

We get up at unnatural hours and feel shit because of it, we do that to go and do a boring repetitive task that we hate, to make enough money to be able to get up and go do it again.

I want a return to the old days, we only live once… True we might not live as long, but I’d rather have a life of random impulses keeping me happy that lasts for about 40 years than a working life in fucking shackles that lasts about 90.

(George imput: As if you’re gonna last to 90- you smoke and drive motorcycles at ridiculous speeds down dual carriageways)

Yeah, I do… And so what?

Isn’t that EXACTLY what my above point is?

If I die on a bike or from smoking or drinking… Fine!

At least I can say I died doing something I enjoy, and if there’s a better way to end than that, I’d like to hear it.

George: Being suffocated by breasts.

Yeah, that’ll kill you mid-to-late 30’s though… Old lady boobs ain’t so capable of suffocation… Think a blanket draped over your face…. (Trust me, you don’t wanna know the things I know)

(*Hands back to George*)

Well, now you know what I do at school…

That’s why we take Philosophy, mannn.

Anyway, I’m off to do something nice and mundane for the next couple of hours- then the gym. Then sainsbury’s to buy my mum a present (it’s her birthday today and I kind of… yeah!)

Til next time!

BLOBZ

2008-11-02T23:30:00.000-08:00

Blobs

Can you jump all the blobs and have one left standing?

Play this free game now!!

This, my friends, is an absolutely perfect example of how I waste my time.

Blobz.

AGHGHG.

It's the most addictively shit game probably ever, yet for the past few days I really can't stop playing it.

I'm stuck, naturally.

Samm and I are tearing our hair out.

This is a really pointless post, but I thought I'd mention it; some of you out there might be pretty bored also- this shall turn that boredom into frustration and self-loathing. ENJOY!

(oh oh oh, and the music videos are done and, man, you're gonna wanna see those bad boys!)

Belated Birthday's and lame teenage alchies...

2008-10-28T03:35:00.000-07:00

Dear christ, a blog two days in a row?

Don't get used to it. It's just the initial excitement that blogging provides.

That and I'm in a blogging mood 'cause I just wrote the band's blog thingy.

Yeeaaaaaahhhhh.

Last night I went to my friend Henry's birthday party-type thing, although it wasn't really a birthday party. His birthday was like three weeks ago. Last year it was in December... lets not get into the politics of birthday party dates, we'll be here for a long time.

Anyway, the reason i'm telling you about it is two fold: 1, I'm a vegetarian and he'd ordered curry and forgotten about my requirement, resulting in me eating ridiculous amounts of bombay potato, rice and popadoms. To be fair, I do really like popadoms, but still- there's only so much spicy potato one can endure. And that was far too much, man.

The other reason i'm telling you about it is because it quite perfectly summed up the silly little division that is gradually edging its way in to our friendship group thing: the drinking casually and the drinkingtogetfuckingwastedandfuckingyeahmateandfuckinghammeredandfuckingYES.

Personally, I'm more for the drinking casually, with the odd occasion of the latter. Many of my friends, however, are in favor of LOTS OR NONE! It seems, anyway. Henry was on my side. People got agitated as the flow of the booze got limited to only 3 or 4 beers (I personally only had 2 and half, 'cause i was so fooking bloated from that ridiculous curry. You try it, it's not fun)

But yeah, the agitation and general accusations of Henry being lame for not letting them get wasted made me realize how potentially devistating this 'gay' little division is. We've been friends for a long time, but those that wanna go out and get hammered have different interests from those that don't. i've been through the getting hammered all the time stage, I've decided to grow up a bit and be responsible (more so, anyway)- there's a lot of people that don't agree.

You know there's an issue when people don't come to a party 'cause there's no booze.

You know there's an issue when people get physically depressed when their supply gets limited to 3 or 4.

You know there's an issue when anytime someone says friday someone else says VODKA!

It's lameeeeeeeeee.

Ah well, two years and i'm outaa here, I guess?

That's also quite lame.

*sigh*

Samm's coming over in an hour and a bit, and I still need to have breakyfast and possibly entertain the doggywog.

I'll talk to ya later.

Music videos and tha'

2008-10-27T11:02:00.000-07:00

Alreet,

I have the urge to try and revive this little blog of mine, so just bare with it- yeah?

I'll probably fail as, lets face, I'm no good at updating anything regularly. Saying this, I do seem to be able to whip out some shit here and there that might just be worth reading, so stick around my fellow- you might get hooked.

What have I been up to this weekend? WOAH.

It's been pretty crazy alright. Jonny (www.JDM525.net) came all the way down from Cardiff to shoot a lovely music video for me band! Well, I say music video- we ended up shooting two of the epic bastards. They're not finished yet, editing wise and all, but they look bloody lush.

Oh right, excuse me... www.myspace.com/freewilluk

We did one for Clearly Beautiful and one for Conscious Sleep. So have a listen, get excited.

I'll post them on here when they're done;)

Half half half half half term: no sixthform for a week. Get in. Although there is plenty for me to be getting on with... pissing about and wasting time for a week FTW!

There's one thing you'll probably begin understand about me from this blog... I tend to acknowledge problems and then completely ignore them. I'm fun like that. I have work to do, but I don't kid myself into saying that I'm actually going to do it. That would be telling a lie. Lying is wrong.

Until next time,

George

2008-05-23T03:45:00.000-07:00

The 23rd of May, 2008.
Where to start, eh?

Ok, I have two things to talk about today; one's a statement, one's a speculation- so, are you ready for some factual speculative blogging action? Eh eh!? Right.

First up, I'd like to start by mentioning that today is a rather good day for me- a milestone in a certain aspect of my life. How is that? I hear you ponder through the miles that pixels that separate us; well, basically, today marks 5 months of me and my girlfriend Samm being together, so it marks a milestone in our relationship... and also in the length of relationships that i've been in as whole. So today, today's a pretty big day!
How do I feel about it? I feel somewhat ecstatic, to say the least; to be in a loving, stable relationship is something that nearly everyone strives for, so to actually be in one? It's indescribable. But yes, I thought i'd just bring that to your attention, as it is a fairly big part of my life, ya know?

Now for the speculation.

I'm considering vegetarianism; over the past weeks I've had thoughts within me, thoughts which have morphed into research, research that has morphed into debates, about the ethics and practical issues regarding eating or not eating meat.
The reasons for these thoughts occurring are numerous; the fact that my girlfriend is a vegetarian has caused me to start eating vegetarian food more often and therefore given me a bit of insight into the vegetarian lifestyle, on top of this I've came across various videos and articles promoting the practice of vegetarianism- over all it has left me torn.

I strongly disagree with the way that animals are farmed and treated as objects bred merely for profit and I strongly disagree with slaughter houses choosing the cheapest and most convenient methods over those that are better for the animals wellbeing. So, it's a no brainer?
Well, no, it's not. Because me not eating meat, lets face it, is not going to stop this practice (I assume, information is appreciated)- So what do I do?
I like the taste of meat; I enjoy eating it and it often serves as a basis for family meals- if we're all eating different things, then the days of sitting around the table will be ever distant. But is this really justification for the suffering that the industry induces? I don't think it is. But it's still a tough decision, as the impact of me not eating meat upon my lifestyle will be far greater than impact that it will have on the industry.

My girlfriend did give me some good insight into this dilemma. She said that, to become vegetarian, you can't do it purely for the ethical reasoning, you have to have something else to gain from it; it's an indication of self-control, determination- it requires patience and integrity. Thinking about it that way, vegetarianism sounds ever attractive.

It's a tough decision, one of which I hope to make sometime soon- any opinions or arguments for or against are welcome, nay, I encourage them.

George
