Church on Sunday

Fantastic. I woke up at 9am this morning to open up the common and laundry room and figured it would be silly to go back to bed when every Sunday the church bells keep me up for what seems like forever.

For the first Sunday ever (I reckon), they haven't gone off. I'm tired. I reckon I can fight on though - just about.

Dreaming of Throwing Up

What a fucking song! Anyway, I just came to put on my Cherrybomb t-shirt and it still had puke on from Dublin.

Yay.

When Your Heart Stops Beating

Oh dear. I have just been back to Warrington for the first time in months, and of course there was the usual plentiful selection of out-of-date caffienated beverages. Dad picked me up in the first place and brought a dickload more. I think I've drank too many because I had a diet Coke the other day and my heart would not come out of hyper mode for 2 days.

I was scared. I switched it for beer.

You Are Not My Friend

Ha. Brilliant. Just as I was pondering whether to delete a certain blithering sod off Facebook, "You Are Not My Friend" came up on the iPod.

I guess that's decided then.

Heart Songs

I really can't stop listening to Weezer right now (The Red Album), even though there are some really shocking songs on it. "Heart Songs" is an addictive little number, name dropping seemingly hundreds of bands and makes me think of all the bands and artist that have influenced me. It includes the lines "My roommate said come on and put a brand new record on. Had a baby on it. He was naked on it, then I heard the chords that broke the chains..". I remember where I was when I heard Nirvana for the first time. James Green introduced them to me in high school. I then got "Nevermind" for Christmas and still remember rushing upstairs to get my personal CD player to listen to it immediately. Ah... Speaking of bands, Lewbrain's band played their first gig the other day and I was gutted not to be able to make it (funds are low). I've still not seen Biano's band either.


Up early(ish) this morning for handover, and I've just found a great article on unsung heroes. I've also watched an interview with Billy Davies, whom I absolutely fucking love and would really, really like to go for a bevy (sp?) with. However, it's all about United today. I am FINALLY going to watch them at Old Trafford, with Jaz. They've got Marseille and I'm expecting progress. Speaking of heroes, it would mean so much to me if Giggs played tonight.


Oh yeah, I saw an erm, vagrant shall we say, asleep in Derby centre yesterday. He had a packet of Mini Cheddars in his hand, open. I found this very funny indeed.

Worse Things Happen At Sea

Japan... wow. Some of the videos that have come out of the latest disaster are truly horrifying. The destructive power of the Earth has our backs to the wall, definitely.

Although I can't help but feel people are more sympathetic to Japan then other, less developed countries. Not that it's a competition. Just food for thought.

Speaking of food and moving on, I am having mushy peas and a packet of stuffing for lunch. Who said the vegan diet is boring?

F.O.D.

Something's on my mind
It's been for quite some time
This time I'm on to you
So where's the other face?
The face I heard before
Your head trip's boring me

Let's nuke the bridge we torched
2,000 times before
This time we'll blast it all to hell
I've had this burning in my guts now
for so long
My belly's aching now to say

Stuck down in a rut of dislogic and smut
A side of you well hid
When it's all said and done
it's real and it's been fun
But was it all REAL fun

Let's nuke the bridge we torched
2,000 times before
This time we'll blast it all to hell
I've felt this burning in my guts now
for so long
My belly's aching now to say

to say...

You're just... a fuck,
I can't explain it 'cause I think you suck.
I'm take-
-in pride
in telling you to fuck off and die.

I've had this burning in my guts now
for so long
My belly's aching now to say
I'm taking pleasure in the doubts
I've passed to you
So listen up as you bite thisssss...

You're just... a fuck,
I can't explain it 'cause I think you suck.
I'm take-
-in pride
in telling you to fuck off and die.

Goood niiiiiiiiight....

Old

Two funny things from today:

I was out last night at Walkabout with Sam Ward. I had been reading for Franc's Gambia essay (due today) for what seemed like weeks (I think it was about 2 hours) and had done 300 words out of 2000. So Sam convinced me I needed a break. That break soon turned messy when Sam insisted we do 12 shots each, in quick succession. Anyway, Pip was out - I "danced" with her for a bit. Well, that's how she tells it. I thought I was just talking. So I saw her today outside Keddie's and she said that after I left this dancing conversation, her friends came up to her and asked "who that old guy was" that she was dancing with. Holy macaroni.

Secondly, I had to deliver some census forms around Nunnery tonight. Felt like a little bit of history, it's going to be the last one. Wow, I HAVE learnt something at uni. The point is I had to slide one under ever door and in one of the flats, I slid one under and heard a loud "ouch!". I just burst and laughing and legged it.

I hope he's okay, I really do.

Trembling Hands

Explosions in the Sky have a new song out! It's just brilliant too! Even better though, the feeling I got when I first heard them, when their beautiful sound was new to me; it's back! It had started to wear out as I listen to them as much as possible!

They're coming to Manchester in May and I couldn't be happier! It's such a shame that I don't have anyone to share the joy with right now.

Takk...

I'm just getting ready to head to the library and the iPod is still on. What a transition! "Takk" by Sigur Ros into "Try out Your Voice" by Big D! Perfect!

Deep Inside of You

Ah, yes. The sun is shining so brightly and this slice of perfection just came up on the iPod. I think I may get a 3eb tattoo!

Out of Touch

I remember when we started
And this was not what we wanted,
Seems we lost perspective of our goal to have fun in the first place
Cause right now this feels more like a day-job to me
And my head aches, sore from countless sleepless nights, overcome by stress
The pressure of a time schedule and short, short coffee breaks
But when I search through photographs reminiscing good times we've had
I know we can get that feeling back
Yeah, we can get that feeling back if we put down a little time and effort to
Manifest our independence, regain control
(Regain control)

Have we taken it this far to leave it in the hands of someone else
Who'll be making decisions we should be making ourselves?
Someone we don't even know, someone we've never met, miles away from here
(Miles away from here)

Yeah, we can get that feeling back if we put down a little time and effort to
Manifest our independence
(Regain control) (x2)
And everything's so out of reach and everyone's so out of touch,
Just wanna get back to where we started (x2)
