My Beat Beating Heart Could Stop This Hemisphere.
February 1, 2008
Sorry for not being here, you see I dont own a computer and havent done so for 10 years, so things get updated when possible.
This year so far has been one of fun, poverty (not in a 3rd world kinda way, but shit i have no disposable income way), work and feeling good.
I had a great birthday celebration this week, was nice to see every one, Was also exciting as I was privilaged to see The Mae Shi live, which I didnt think I would.
My leg is healing slowly, very slowly. But its getting there, with the help of my pops, lots of patients and teeth grinding self control.
Here are some bands I think people should give a listen to (no links, look ‘em up you lazy suns of bitches)
Lukestar
Free Diamonds
fightfightfight
Marvins Revolt
The Mae Shi
The Dismemberment Plan
Buck 65
Johann Johannsson
Jon Lajoie
Settlefish
William Elliot Whitmore
Zombi
I tandem to a previous splattergirl post, I too hate when people ask me what I do for a living. I’m not ashamed or anything, its just that people are still using pre-concived notions that are 30 years out of date. Plus I get a barrage of stupid questions, this is worst when audience is middle class, then i become some sort of circus side show.
This is often used as a get out of jail free card by friends “guess what Hobo does for a living!” thus removing all attention from them. its kinda the same with piercings, I was at my friends wedding about 2 weeks ago, some guy assumed I had my penis pierced and was tring to persuade me to get it out. who the fuck does that?
In other news, I am taking some well earned time off, just had a few days off to relax, should be going to visit old man Soup in his new crib, he now has an old farm house in the middle of the french nowwhere. awesome, so fishing and snowboarding may be on the agenda, then in march Me, serenity, splatter and a rag tag of geeks will be hoping over to Amsterdam for a weekend break, this i’m really looking forward to this as me and serenity have been looking to get a way for a while, also as this is a change for me, I usualy take my holidays alone.
right I’m off, have a good weekend.

Good afternoon
Hope this blog finds you well.
Right, I dont know if I’m having some kind of quarter life crissis or what, but it has dawned on me that i’ll be 26 in a month or so, not that i’m getting old, thats not the problem.
Its the fact i’m not doing anything with my life, and I dont know what I want to do with it.
I dont know what i’m good at, I know what I enjoy but thats not what I’m good at.
I know in the long term I want to move out of England, but thats not looking easy, at the rate I am able to save it will take me 12 and a half years to save the money up. shit.
I’m looking to move to Norway, Oslo. I feel at home there.
But emigration aside and to the present, I cant really go into education due to the cost, night school classes are so expensive and if I went into full time education I would still need to work full time. Thank you government.
My current employer seems to be doing their best to force my hand into making some decisions, as my job is getting progressivly worse and its no longer enjoyable, so I should see it as a favour.
moaning done, the tachicomas came back! and they saved the day. hurah.
oh and I’m currently re-descovering Red Animal War.
The Science of Sleep
November 16, 2007
So, here is my first post.
Sleep, this is’nt something i seem to do very well, I dont really want to sleep. There are so many other things I could be doing with my time. I like being in bed and relaxing but not sleeping. I understand that I have to sleep, that its an essential process my body must go through to regenerate and repair etc, but if there was a way I could not sleep ever again with out it affecting my body or mind then I would do it without a thought.
Winter is finaly here, the shutters at work instantly freeze my hands, that how I know its here, also its freezing in my shop, uncomfotably so.
I am currently on a spree of watching DVDs, probably because I now have a DVD play that works, and the nice man in the shop made it multi region (he is one of my customers)
In the last week I have watched:
Exorcist
Exorcist 2 – this is a laughably awful film.
Exorcits 3
Exorcist – the begining
Dominion (same film as the begining, made by someone esle as begingin was really shit, this wasnt much better)
Ong-Bak – amazing martial arts film, I recomend watching it.
Ghost in the Shell – Stand alone complex. – great! but I wish the tachicomas would come back, I like em.
I may be going to veiw potential sites for susspensions with Alex next week, which may mean I get to do a chest pull, I want to try this before susspending, I really like the athstetics of it.
I also recently descovered the fruit/veg shop round the corner from work sell scotch bonnet chillis, oh yes.
They now grace all my cooking, food never hurt so good.
