What an average day ^^
So anyway, had a great dinner, beef ect, today is all about self indulgence, hence ive eaten so much and allowed myself a few beers too.
Speaking of food, im being sent to the Rick Stein Seafood School in Cornwall for 2 days at the end of Feb :D Matt's paying for it and giving me some spending money, Martins coming aswell, the course costs £370ish.
To be honest i dont like seafood, but itll be a useful course, unless they make me eat stuff, then itll be a pukeful course mwhahah.
Cunninlynguists are dropping a new album next year, 2 days before my birthday. Theyre also touring in europe, so im excited aboot that. Hopefully QOTSA will annouce some date too, then ill be set.
I need a new book.
Wearing glasses is wierd, suppose im lucky cause i dont have to wear them 24/7, but when i first put them on it was like 'WHOA I CAN SEE'.
Chantals pic arrived the other day ^^ I need to take a pic of it in its new home soon.
And now for a guilty pleasure of mine:

The vinyl of this album is the only thing on my Christmas list.
Had a half day today due to the snow. I hope i can still travel next week, i got shit to do, such as opticians, gym and the end of the christmas shopping. Just need to buy for Bro and Pa. Speaking of Pa, it looks like we're off to Malta again in March for a few weeks ^^, means no Amsterdam with Jim though, or i could do a week at both, not sure yet.
In the new year i still want to go to:
Prague with Nick

Florida with Fatboy
Decisions, decisions.

I Just.....
Posted all my draft blogs id forgotten about. hahah on that mushroom one i was trippping balllllllls. Sadly there wasnt any this year :( The frost came too soon.
Make you feel that way.
Im back! Well to be honest i never went, i just lost interest in this thing. A fair bit to catch up on from my last blog... well one before last.
Works going well, my butchery skills are improving and such, my NVQ will be done by March, to be honest im not getting much from it, but it'll be nice to have a qualification in something.
Finally got the bass of my dreams :D A 75RI Jazz bass!!! It involved a trip to Chelmsford by train (which was actually enjoyable) and parting with £750ish, but after 10 or so years of trying to get one, i finally have :)
I havnt had any dental work done in a while, they still havnt rang me back, but atleast my teeth are clean :) And ive stopped driving lessons till i can be assed to start again.
What else....
Oh Malta was so good! Stayed in St Pauls Bay, in Buggiba. Scuba diving was the highlight, being in the clear warm water, watching the fish swim by, beautiful.
Got a few job offers out there too which was nice, maybe one day ill look into it. Spending time with dad was better than i thought. Flights were good. Hotel was great, free breakfast and dinner, gym!!, tour guides, 6 person room on the top floor for us 2 haha jacuzi on the balcony (Y)
Valletta is an amazing city and Gozo was beautiful too. We went all over the island on various modes of transport. It was still t-shirt and shorts weather even though it was Nov :)
Loads pics: http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=569114&id=820085104&l=3e95422c23
Hmm....
Gym is going great, ive put on alot of weight, but just wish i could get there more often. Tomorrow theyre upping my training :) Eating a meal every 3 hours is the hardest part, now ive been doing it for a while, if i miss a deadline i get REALLY hungry hahaha.
note to self: *need to book an eye test soon*
Well its now half 2, i suppose i best go. Its been nice updating myself on my own life. Although looking back over my older posts, im remembering stuff id forgotten. Which is a double edge sword, because theres things id rather forget, but i cant alter the past, shame i cant have that one superpower haha.
Wont be a real post without a video i guess:

If there's one thing you can say about mankind, there's nothing kind about man. - T. Waits
Yo.
And to quote Eric B + Rakim:
It's been a long time, I shouldn't have left you, without a strong rhyme to step to....
Ive just been too busy for you. Theres basically just 2 of us working full time at the moment and since my promotion ive just been grabbing the hours. Ive been good recently, havnt bought any bass gear or wasted much money, im saving for a surgical procedure to sort my mouth out =] Maybe then i wont be so depressed/lonely, cause even though people say 'looks arnt everything', theyre totally bullshitting you. If i had a decent smile, side swept fringe and peircings, i wouldnt be single for long.
What else is new..... got my driving lesson tomorrow, last one for a while, due to me not being bothered with getting it done (not much reason to now) and needing the money for above.
Im improving my mind and body, albeit im back on the beer heavily. Im studying/reading daily and work out every other day, which ontop of being on my feet for 10 hours 4 days a week im getting toned both physically and mentally.
I just need to break this web addiction.
Ive been reading a book on Tom Waits and its been okay so far, its explained alot of his songs and his life. An interesting man.
Got some more stuff to write one day.

Hendrix reminds me of alot of good times
We'd just hang out.....
Miss you Sammie.
/emotion.
\Normal me:
Driving lessons are going well. Ive been offered an NQV in cooking from the government. So yeah looking good.
Amsterdams booked. Going with Nick and Jim. Its going to be good, im going to see alot of of the city this time and hope to see some galleries/museams too. As much as Jim wants to, i am not going to spend all the time high, fuck that, ive grown out of that stage....
Since i gave up weed for someone, i havnt really missed it, infact ive enjoyed life without it, my mind is clearer, im not so anxious and antisocial. Its a shame Jim is wasting his life on it.
My other vices are still under control, no more than 3 coffees a day and i went about 5 days without a beer and have rejected a few offers for one.
Thats about it for now.

Cold :/
Not sure why i like this song. It just has a positive vibe to it.
Ever since giving stuff up ive felt good most of the time, but every now and then i feel, numb? tired? Im not sure how to describe it, its almost a dull numbness in my head, like when youre coming down from a high. Unless this is how you're meant to feel? I dont know and it doesnt bother me really.
Ive been improving on guitar, and bar some solos, most of the stuff i know on bass is the same as the guitar lines, but in power chord form. Just need to be abit quicker.
Theres 2 gigs i want to go to and as usual, no-one to go with :/ R.A is playing in brighton for £7 a ticket!! SEVEN FUCKING QUID! And the Crooked Vultures tickets are sold out :( Josh Homme, JPJ and Grohl, what an epic superband. Also looks like im not going on holiday now, since no-ones avaliable.
On the plus side i booked my driving lesson. Woo!
Apparantly SP are getting back together, but we cant seem to get the ability to get further than word of mouth :/ Were free but travel is hard.
Alot of the QOTSA's music videos have a B-Movie feel to them.

God Loves Ugly
Well its been,,,, well how ever long since my last blog and im impressed with myself.
I managed to do 2 whole days drink free and im down to 3 coffees a day. Even at work ive rarely stayed after for a drink. The only thing im slacking in is the exercise, but to be fair after a 10 hr shift i think ive done enough, then i deserve 2 days of rest ahaha.
My little timebomb.
Im addicted to Battlefield Bad Company haha its soooo good. Such big maps, so many guns, 90% of the map is destroyable, fun fun fun.
Pick up my bass tomorrow :) She'll be all fixed up and silky smooth to play.
Thatll do for a blog.

Past experiences have caused me to distrust many.
I havnt got a day without drinking in about a year. The past month or so ive overdone it. So im going to see if i can cut it down. At the moment its about 15+ beers a week.
Lets see how it goes.
Also i have to get back into the fitness regeime, been a while since i could do 200 sit ups and run far, shit i could cycle to ashford in a few hours at one point.

R.I.P. STAFF SGT. JOHN A. THORBURN
True story shit. This is one of the best verses ive ever heard @ 1.30:
Source http://masturbationstation.wordpress.com/2010/01/10/r-a-the-rugged-man-the-comfort-zone-in-toronto/ :
''People are screaming out songs for R.A. to perform. He refuses a couple, excuses a couple, and then, when the incessant requests for “Uncommon Valor” come about, he tells the DJ to cue it up. He stands in front of the stage as the beat drops.
I blink.
R.A. disappears.
I lose sight of him for a moment.
He reappears, head down, leaning on the DJ set-up.
Crying.
R.A. the fucking Rugged Man. Crying like a motherless child.
He wipes his tears and says:
“This song is a true story about my father, WHO PASSED AWAY YESTERDAY. And this is the first time I’m performing it since he passed away… call me a fag or whatever you want to call me.”
The thing was, TODAY is R.A. the Rugged Man’s BIRTHDAY.''
In the words of RA ''Cause in life: God take, God give''

This is going to be one of my longest blogs,,,,,
Might aswell get straight to it.
Jon (my mates sisters boyfriend who ive only met twice), messaged me on facebook saying 'Dude lets get some beer and go to Jims', so i thought why not, it beats staying indoors all night. Jon had rang him and Jim said ''yeah thatll be cool, ill ring you back in abit'' (but never did :/)
So i put on a few layers, grab my money and phone and go.
Stopped off at the shop for some Guinnie'
Our train left at 5:45pm, i was expecting it to be abit awkward because we had never really met haha, but nah it was cool, we cracked open a can and headed for Sevenoaks.
We got there and had to wait, so we went to the offie for more supplies, another pack of Guinnie' and 16 cans of Carlsberg and a bottle of 'Vodka' (which turned out to be 22%, half the normal percentage. Went back to the station and cracked open another can. where somehow they lost our connecting train, so another beer and sit around the train arrives. We got on and yeah you can see where this is going....another beer.... 15 mins later we hadnt moved :/ so Jon went to see wa gwan.
Apparantly they ''lost'' the driver, they found him eventually and we were on the way.
Got off the train in Otford, opened another beer and started chatting to these random people.Next stop West Malling....
We stumbled off the train and made our way to jims, which is a 30min walk. Jon fell over 3 times in this distance hahah. Went to the kebab for a burger and picked up some more beer from the offie, Jon stacked it again, with burger in hand, so he scooped it back together (inc snow) and ate it haha.
Got to jims and saw no lights on....... Rang him, no answer, text him, no answer :/
So we hung around his for about 20 mins before we went 'fuck it' and started walking to town. We finally got hold of him and found out he was at his new gf's in maidstone and that hes trying to sort a lift for us (bullllllllshit).
We tried hitchiking hahah, yeah people are really going to pick up 2 drunk guys, one fully hooded and the other a skinhead, but staggering around. We had one woman lock her doors as she came upto the lights hahah.
My memory isnt too good for the rest of the journey, but heres what i recall:
*Stopping at an abandoned house and tring to break into it. Battering ramming the door to no avail.
*Trying to help this van driver get up a hill by pushing the van
*Stopping at a pub for a quick half and a sit down.
*Finding a car with a broken front wheel and the drive shaft hanging off, then stealing a cone and wearing it.
*Finding out the cone belongs to the cops (The 'Police' print on the base gave it away haha, they had gone past us about 5 times on this journey.
We got to town at some time, i really dont know. Finally got to Jims gfs place, where there was about 6 others; The twins Alan and Ant, this emo kid who was getting on my tit, his gf Roxy and Jims gf's daughter. We basically drank and wound up the emo kid (he just didnt have his own opionion on anything, and would agree with you and basically just bulllshited everything), hahah his gf was giving me and jon the eye, which made emo kid follow her everytime she came somewhere with us.
Played some CoD:MW2, pwned Alan and nearly beat Ant.
Finally crashed out about 3-4am on the floor, saw about 20mins of jim then he fucked off to bed. What a cunt.
Woke up about 9 to a load of noise and cold. Sue's (Jims gf) mate was having a baby on the floor above hahaha. The ambulance couldnt get out, up the hill so she had it on her bed (ewww). Then there was about 4 of these mothers in their dressing gowns walking into Sues place (none of them were lookers:() and started having a mothers meeting about shit. I just stayed in the kitchen watching the snow.
A few coffees later and we find out no trains or busses are running :/ but we managed to get a taxi about half way. Stopped off at work for a pint then staggered the 3 miles home.
So yeah, next time Jon says 'Dude lets go see Jim' he can fuck off! hahah. So after all them hours, walking, money, travelling, we saw Jim for about 2 hours.
Still, it was an experience, and Jon is a sound guy.
I just wanna sleep now. Ill add stuff as i remember it.
