Sideblaggin'

So a bit out of the ordinary today, I'm posting another blog, not for any real reason...

It's a quiet night here in Pitlochry, well.. i say quiet, currently the door is creaking and I can hear the faint noise coming from the TV in my parents lounge, oh and lets not forget the rapid typing noises coming from this keyboard.

I've recently started to wonder if i'm living in the correct time. Fair enough, I know about computers, I use my mp3 player religiously, but there's some things you just can't beat. Like the feel of vinyl records, or the sound, I don't like TV (nor do I watch it), I much prefer reading (which will bring me onto my next point very shortly), and generally, the culture of today is... well odd. Reality TV, really is not my cup of tea, I don't wait for the next instalment of Big Brother, Strictly come dancing or any of this reality TV lark.

As for my next point... people seem to be getting dumber and dumber. You know, I mean we have all this amazing technology and yet computers have turned into basically four figure wank machines. Instead of talking, they text, or instant message, no punctuation, no grammar: LOL this and LMFAO that. You know, it just seems to me it's just a bunch of stupid people pseudo-communicating with a bunch of other stupid people at a proto-language that resembles more what cavemen used to speak than the Queen's English.

Ok, fair enough, I'll admit right now, I've used "LOL" to death when IM'ing, it's quicker, but from this moment on, I promise to Stop using "LOL" and any other abbreviation. Oh and as a side note for my would be readers, I always type text messages out in full English, grammar included!

As for Wikipedia, and everyone who "trusts" it to be the worlds most accurate source of information.. all I can say is "Wikipedia, must be accurate then!" (Please note the Sarcasim!)

They say that everything is connected to everything. The butterfly effect. You drop a pebble into a pond and the ripples radiate outward, affecting everything. I sometimes question this, how can we possibly say that me drinking this nice, ice cold Heiniken (it's my b'day weekend, i'm allowed to break the rule especially for it!) will have some significant impact on my life?

As for other random thoughts.. currently contemplating getting my first tattoo, we shall see...

Anyway, enough of my ranting! Have fun folks :)

Further Songs of a madman

So here we are 2nd post of 2009, it's now Friday the 16th of January and it's 3 days to go until my freaking B'day folks!!!!!

So whats new this week? Well nothing much, that chick that I talked about in my last blag, decided to have "The Talk" last night, so i'm pretty much expecting that I will be a single man at some point this weekend (Shitty way to go onto your b'day huh?) But I will blog more on this after I've had confirmation.

So what else? Well completed the wonderful 2nd week of work, didn't exactly do much to be fair! Had Monday off, so I partook in a monthly ritual of getting the hair cut (free head massage thrown in!) and generally dossed around in the cold capital. Unfort, not a lot going on there these days, so nothing really to report, well except the god damned tram works, but less said the better.

What else?! Black rose, ah yes, my beloveded tavern, how I missed thee.. but I'm back! Pub quiz nights! Huzzah! Funnily, with a reduced team, we actually won :)

Otherwise it's been pretty quiet, i've been bored out of my mind (apart from when I've actually done stuff), so it looks as if joining the gym will actually go ahead!

Anyway that is all blag readers, until next time, I'll leave you with this music video (I seem to be listening to more of my old music).

Locked In Brutal Nothingness...

First post of 2009 and only 6 months late from when I should of actually posted.. oops!

So, even though that tickers been doing sweet F*#K all, except for me occasionally checking to see if it's clocking up.. infact I think I shall remove it.

Firstly where to start, oh my xbox 360... oh man where to begin..
The past few weeks I've been hitting Battlefield bad company pretty hard (xmas holidays, some free time and well, generally nothing better to do in this shitty weather). Anyway, my Xbox started to crash and yet continues to do so. So being a sensible person, I decided to call M$, apparently the warranty is expired and it'll cost me £60 to get it looked at... F#!k that.
So then the non sensible side kicked in and well, I decided to try and open it, a challenge without the proper tools and my fingers are all shredded now... I wish that I could muster authentic rage, but I loved that thing. I feel more like I'm burying a Goddamned pet.

What else is new... I seen slipknot in December.. absoloutley fantastic gig! Machine head supporting, with Children of Bodom!



I finally got a flatmate, but however this is not working out so well, he's very arrogant, lazy and well generally a pain in the arse, so I'll be kicking him out soon! Plus, it's time to start the flat renovations!

I've been seeing a new girl, slightly older, but I don't care about that. She's great, funny, beautiful, pretty much everything I like, but alas she has a hectic work schedule!

Nothing new on the hobby front yet really, just trying to save up to get the flat done, then I'll look into buying my DSLR camera! Also looking at joining a gym to kill the time.

Anyway, that is all for now folks, need to start cooking. Oh yeah, final note, decided to start getting in shape, so this years resolutions are.

-Give up non social drinking (aka: no drinking in a house, has to be a bar or restaurant)
-Give up Soft drinks (coke a cola, fanta etc etc)
-Give up eating non freshly made food (good by frozen crap)

Currently the results appear to be good, feel like i'm losing weight, but we shall see in a week when I hit the scales!

Anyway bye for now folks!
