Grolsch, Goths & Grand Theft Auto

Wow.

I feel really ashamed that it's taken me this long to post.

I get the feeling that I'm continually 'flaking out' apologizing about not posting so after this, I'm not going mention it any more as it's not particularly prime-time reading.

So what's happened in my life?

To be honest I feel kinda bad coz things are starting to mount up.

Mostly college work.

I've still got that essay to write amongst other things.

I predominantly blame this on Playstation are their lastest release which needs no introduction...

...GTA San Andreas.

Well it's only bloody addictive isn't it!

Playing it for over a week now, I've been waking up with cravings for the game and spent nights awake thinking about jacking cars and killing homies.

I'm not the persuasive type am I?!

Thankfully Ash has nabbed it off me... It is his afterall.

Perhaps now I can re-emerge into glorious techniqcolour reality!

Speaking of cravings...

Remember that old 90's classic, 'Constant Craving' by KD Lang ?

Heard it yesterday and I swear, she says 'Can't Stand Gravy' in the chorus.

Listen to it. It's not Constant Craving, its Can't Stand Gravy.

I might just attempt to pitch a marketing opportunity to Bisto...

I'm sure with today's modern technology they can make ol' KD appear to fit 'OXO's' in between's stand and gravy.

I'm pretty proud with my iTunes Library right now.

I don't know if I've told any of you but being a bit of a music lova, over the last 2 years I've obtained roughly 20.3 days of solid listening material.

That's 487 hours 12minutes & 7 tenths of a second of music.

Not bad. Since most of it's not mine.

I don't burn illegally of course, a lot has come from my Dad's collection, my friends and the wonder that is the iTunes music store.

I imagine that there's is probably something there for even the most extreme music tastes.

It's nice having such a wide music selection as I have come across various covers of the same track from completely different artists/bands.

I make a musical link such as... Red Hot Chili Peppers - Stevie Wonder - Blue - Elton John - George Micheal - Queen - Wyclef Jean - Lauryn Hill - Eminem - Obie Trice - Nate Dogg - Dr. Dre - The Rolling Stones - Musiq Soulchild - Scratch - Rahzel - Bjork - Sting - Craig David - Artful Dodger - Oxcide & Neutrino - Ali G - Baddest Ruffest - U2 - Seal - R. Kelly - The Isley Brothers - Snoop Dogg - N.E.R.D. - Britney Spears - Justin Timberlake - Basement Jaxx - The Chemical Brothers - Fatboy Slim - All Saints - Red Hot Chili Peppers

phew. I'm not doing that again!

I've also noticed strange appearances of the Nightrider Theme in the Punjabi MC track.

Also Lemar's 50-50 is uses a backing track from an earlier Jay Z track.

Interesting stuff.

I guess you all heard about the Goth - Cherry Milkshake incident.

Just to clarify I didn't literally throw it at her.

Instead I kinda tripped whilst holding it losely in my hand and unluckily managed to project it over the majority of her black attire as I was walking/falling towards her.

Thing is... I was really looking forward to drinking that.

I sometimes buy them from the AMT Coffee stall at London Bridge Station and on that occasion I bought one orange milkshake and one cherry as I was feeling pretty glutinous.

After literally devaluing the meaning of sorry to her, I offered her the free napkin I got with it to clean herself up and I walked off in a fairly sharpish fashion... My head to the floor and resiteing how much of an idiot I felt.

Being a Goth. She was actually quite a nice person at heart and I got off pretty lightly.

Thou I'm not sure who was more embarrassed - There were quite a few other commuters around her, which unsurprisingly felt the wrath of the giggle loop instantly and another who saw what happened and was commentating over her mobile to her boyfriend.

Bloody Hell. Could it of been worse if it tried?

People... Please share any highly embarrassing moments you've had so I can try and feel better about it all.

Anyway.

I'd like to thank Ash & Gem for their hospitality and company recently.

We went to the White Stag pub in West Wickham on Friday (Apperently the bar tender is huge fan of poetry or something, so he told me) and played the celebrity name game of which I am now a member.

Ashleigh has also been helping me as my male model no.1/codirector with my first attempted photo project. Still to be finished though.

I'm gonna have to go back to old skool RWS on Friday to get the last images done a I require that rather large reflective window outside the geography block.

I might as well pick up my old A level art work too whilst I'm there.

Seems like ages ago yet my days there have come and gone so quickly... If that makes sense.

On Saturday when the local fireworks display was on I was stuck in bloody Safeways which was an absolute ghost store at the time - 3 customers in 3 hours or working. Unbelievable.

Finally, most recently, to counteract my addiction of GTA... if now become addicted to eBay.
I've spent about £60 this week on junk but I can't tell you what I've bought as some are Xmas prezziez for you lucky people.

NO EVERY ONE THOUGH!

I'm not made of money afterall.

So you'll have to be especially nice to me if you want one.

I suggest bribery... at least then I can pay for your present.

Right that's if for today...

I'm gonna catch up on Blakes blog ...

OPPPS not that one...

I mean this one.

Oh yeah... and I'd yet to meet Blake's request of handing the Golden Milhouse to his website...
I will do mind.

I'll also be changing the poll soon.
Or I might get rid of it completely.

I hope you all notice I've made a link on the top right of the site for my photos.

Just to save you the trouble of searching for it in old posts in the archives later.

I will sometimes add new photos now & then when the time comes.

I'll tell you when I do but it may mean having to take off previous images.

Let me know if you'd like any of the photos/graphics in larger format and I'll try my best to e-mail them to ya.

Byezibye.
