2:41 pm	here we go life's waiting to begin.. ..I really need to do some work. I've gotta read Caleb Williams, catch up on some philosophy work cos I changed modules fairly late so am a little behind, and I need to watch Shakespeare films for my seminar. I'm not that far behind I guess but I could do with working. But sadly I just have this desire to single handedly find every fashionXcore/scenester/poseur whatever and strangle them and it's distracting me. It's frustrating. I gotta stop browsing myspace...it brings out my hateful side Current Mood: infuriated Current Music: Angels and Airwaves & Good Clean Fun (Comment on this)

12:18 pm	I have literally done nothing productive this week and it feels really bad. I mean I have left the house - mainly to a party on Monday, Slammy D's on Tuesday and then a friends party followed by Panic! Wednesday - so basically this week has been getting pissed and then feeling tired the next day and watching scrubs. the week before was uber good with an essay being done but still I hate that feeling of apathy. I have FINALLY got my guitar fixed though which is a relief but when all you can say you've done is go to lectures and then fuck around on the computer it's a bit shitty really. I just cannot motivate myself to do philosphy reading but hopefully the weekend will provide that time. Malk when r we gonna do this hXc thing? Wow my first proper LJ post in ages and it's proper gay. Current Mood: essay to hand in. Current Music: I'm feeling Cartel atm but I am most of the time (1 Comment |Comment on this)

5:08 pm	medioXcore is back Again...I cannot be arsed with Live Journal. MySpace has taken over simply cos stuff I wanna talk to ppl about is easier to PM or for a load of people bulletins are easier. But I like reading my friends ones. But medioXcore is back from Saturday at 11am via www.lsrfm.com. Please listen and prove to LSR it's worthy of an evening slot or summat. Although 11am is pretty damn sweet cos you don't have lectures or work and you can listen: a) in bed b) whilst making brunch/brekkie c) both d) in the shower etc etc it goes on and on and on and on and on I'll be playing stuff that's hard to get too (ie new thrice/horse the band - well hard if you can't be arsed to download the new albums. Even tho the new Thrice album is a bit disappointing) Current Mood: anxious Current Music: new Horse the band album, Hit the Lights (1 Comment |Comment on this)

2:24 pm	wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee god i hate emo. Not the music just everything else. I've been browsing around and the number of gay posers with stupid emo artwork they've done and poetry is pathetic. It's so false. when will this phase die? Livejournal I have paid no attention to. Dunno why I'm updating really just feel like it. I'm bored i guess no work to do and it's a saturday. Ipswich are away to Millwall. Going to Spain soon. I'm looking forward to a bit of chillax time. Plus I can get a head start on my course readings.

5:38 pm	The Premiership Years First of all yeah i kinda haven't updated in years. It's simply because live journal is completely pointless I'm afraid! All you lot know what I've been up to cos I'm mates with you, and I'm never good at keeping diaries. But anyways onto my blog. It occurred to me whilst watching Premiership Years on Sky that quite simply, football is nowhere near as exciting as it should be. And I felt dead inside. Is he having a laugh? Look at all these amazing foreign players in the league! Chelsea are playing fantastic football, Liverpool are European Champions and now Man United aren't winning it every season anymore, and this is the best England side we've had in our lifetime! It's great. but is it really? I was watching this programme covering the 1995/96 and 1996/97 seasons and my God those seasons were amazing. Some fantastic football and amazing title races. I miss the days of Kevin Keegan and Newcastle playing constant fantastic football, and Robbie Fowler banging the goals in. I miss the days when Nottingham Forest and Leeds United were actually good football teams and Charlton Athletic and Fulham were nobodies (well I like Fulham cos my Grandad supported them but you know what I mean). Football is much less exciting now beause we take for granted what we have. Back in 1996 there were some foreigners - but only the best. Now it seems every team is just made up of bog standard players from all over. There's no longer the feeling of 'oh let's see Boro for Ravanelli and Arsenal for Bergkamp' because those kinda players make up your average team. The games on Sky ALWAYS seemed exciting but now they're less so. And the title races were better - Newcastle, Liverpool and Man United were usually close together. Now it's Arsenal or Chelsea winning by a mile. Am I the only one who's noticing how much less exciting footy is now? Or is it just rose tinted glasses of my youth?

3:27 pm	The gig Thanks to all who came. It was fucking fantastic. I am so glad to have been able to just have a fucking good time with some ace bands and some ace people. Even though not every band was everyone's cup of tea it was so good to see you all appreciate what they do! (1 Comment |Comment on this)

2:04 pm	my life is more boring than Star Wars... ...But I still wanna see the Episode 4 thingy cos I like films. My life at the moment is dull. It involves waking up, listening to a CD or watching a DVD whilst revising a load of poems and different sociological views about the environment, family, consumption and advertising and the media. I then go to tea and curse myself for being so fat (i've put on mucho weight after a easter holiday of pure buffness) and go back to revise / watching tv in my housemate's room. Haven't got pissed in roughly a week maybe more. But on Wednesday exams finish. HOPEFULLY that evening Ipswich will beat West Ham and get to the Play Off final but I doubt it. West Ham are a good....wait I mean DIRTY team and as long as I support Ipswich we're destined to a life of sorrow and injustice. From then on it's party time. Playing Winning Eleven 6 (Japanese equivalent to Pro Evo) on The Gamecube, working out and sunbathing in Leeds. It'll be sweet. Oh and I may be putting on a gig in June. It's a Pezboy/MedioXCore gig and HOPEFULLY it'll be The Maple State or Get Cape Wear Cape Fly, but most importantly for me, my cousin's band BREAKNECK who kick arse. Punknews described them as fast punk rock with a hint of Iron Maiden-Core. Mike will love them - it's basically classic fast skate punk but dead technical with the odd King Prawn esque ska song. They're ace. Back to revising and cursing the fact that I didn't enroll next years' modules sooner - I've missed out on creative writing!

6:37 pm	anyway you want it that's the you need it anyway you want it der ner ner ner ner ner ner ner hmmm I'm irritated. I got a haircut cos I refuse to use hair straighteners and so life is easier when it's short. But now my amazing blonde locks have gone so my hair looks darker again (we highlighted it long cos it's easier). I am naturally blonde but only in the summer...in wintery time it looks dark and gay so I'm pissed off. And Mum has gone to London to see the family so I'm stuck with dark hair. Check my Myspazz profile to see the current colour http://www.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewProfile&friendID=6724601&Mytoken=20050416103646. May try and highlight it myself but it could be a disaster... Also everyone is going to Juvi tonight except me so I'm sure there will be takes of how amazing it was and I'm missing out. Wigan won today meaning we HAVE to beat Sunderland to stand a chance of a top 2 finish and promotion. Ain't gonna happen. I can't bear another season in the football league - Ipswich is a Premiership team and we deserve to be there dammit. Dunno what else is pissing me off. My internet has been quite good so I've downloaded some nice stuff. Awesome Hungarian hardcore band called Bridge TO Solace (I'm 1/4 hungarian) and managed to get some mint cds from punkermentality which was nice and Uk bands mp3s off myspazz so MedioXCore will be good next term. Anyway I'm rambing. Look forward to seeing everyone again. Oh yeah and I have a new phone - so I'm back to my original phone number that I had before January. I'll still have the pay as you go one but won't ever use it! Current Mood: I wanna be blonde Current Music: Saosin, Over It, Race The Sun, Mae, Mc Lars (1 Comment |Comment on this)

1:09 pm	Don't you...forget about me Jimmy Eat World is probably the greatest band in living history. Saw them in Norwich and they were phenomenal and I almost cried... They were very very good. Last night I managed to have the best night ever in Leeds despite it being the kinda place I'd NEVER go. My hall had a formal dinner so we got all dressed up (I tend to go for an Alkaline Trio/MCR kinda look when I go smart it's funner) and got lashed on Irish kinda food. Then we headed to LIFE!!!! Wow I thought I'd hate it but it's ace. Sure there are your stupid RnB types being all yuppy-like but loadsa people from my hall was there, as well as Rob (as in Lynch - pink mesh hat dude) and it was just a good laugh! No scene kids, no elititsts - just cheesy shit and shitloads of booze. Then went back to the hall and stayed up till 7am playing football and blocking the road with bins, traffic signs and cars! I can't wait to live with the crew next year but my hall of residence is absolutely classic fun and I'm gonna miss it next year. We need more house parties! Wednesday I went to Creation as well and it was pretty dull. Harder to get served, gay music - just a bit shit really! Cockpit tuesday was fun as usual good to hang with the crew. Hopefully I'll get a My Spazz account shortly. My aim over the holidays is get really buff by going to the gym every day Current Mood: Had 3 hours sleep today Current Music: Refused (4 Comments |Comment on this)

1:17 pm	with the top down, seat back rolling in my cadillac Just a few points: To all those requesting I add them as a Myspace buddy - I'm not adding you not out of disrespect but because I don't have a My Space profile and don't really wanna set one up! Maybe when I'm home I'll do it but our computer cluster at my hall is really small so think it's unfair wasting time on Myspace when others may need the PC for an assignment! Sorry Thanks to those listening to MedioXCore. It's doing really well despite Bram and Rob making jokes about PenisKnifeLoveLive on it and making us sound silly! But yeah so what's been going on in my life...? Fuck all really. Going out getting pissed and having fun and finding the time to do work! Fall Out Boy on Saturday 19th *my Mum's birthday* was a memorable day. Even though I don't remember Juvi afterwards cos I got so fucked but I remember practically all my mates into punky kinda music were there o it was ace to introduce everyone and it felt like one massive group! But I was too drunk to remember it! Went on F.O.B's tour bus as well to interview them and Spitalfield. Mark from Spitalfield is the nicest band person ever - even more so than the guys in Alexisonfire. He even remembered my name. All the bands were good though so it was ace. But gutted than Blink 182 split. Not my favourite band musically but in terms of sentimental value they number one. I'd just got into skateboarding when someone played me Dude Ranch and it was ace. When Enema of the state came out I realised how ace rock can be when it's got that pop element (was only 14 so I'd found parts of Dude Ranch hard to digest cos of the production) and so I owe a lot to them. Still I'd rather they left now than got lamer and lamer and faded away. But now Green Day will become even bigger and Green Day suck! I've kinda quit drinking for a bit too. Last night at the bassment I broke the trend but stuck to vodka rather than beer. I've quit to save money, avoid hangovers and lose weight. A lot of people ask why I'm on a diet but I think for my overall stature (i.e naturally skinny and not that tall and no muscle whatsoever) I'm over what I should weigh - so I los half a stone maybe and I can fit into my old t-shirts again. Youth Sizes are cheaper than adult clothes anyway! I really should update this thing more often. Gem and Jack an Malks entries are so interesting and ful of pictures and fun and mine are so boring! With I knew how to do pictures! Current Mood: just feeling energetic really Current Music: Enter Shukari, Jimmy Eat World, F.O.B, Atreyu (3 Comments |Comment on this)

1:10 pm	telephone Yeah if anyone's tried to text me in the last week or so I won't have replied not out of rudeness but the fact that my phone died! I've got a new one so email me if u want it - I would put it here but then any creepy internet paedophile could have my number and if I want that sorta action I'd just go through Hyde Park late at night... Exciting gigs coming up... Today - Kneehigh at the Fenton VS Taking Back Sunday at the Uni. TBS are better but seen them 5 times Saturday 29th - UnderOATH and Silverstein at the Cockpit, the Hurt Process having a quiet set to finish off while we all bugger off to make sweet love to UnderOATH February 18th - Spitalfield + Fall Out Boy and My Awesome Compilation Sometime in Feb - Lars Frederiksen and the Basterds. Don't like em but love Rancid so wanna say I've had a pint with the Rancid singer. March/Feb - Hatebreed. Bring the mosh, represent and throwdown and all that silly macho HxC talk! March (?) - Hot Water Music March - Straylight Run in Manchester April - Bright Eyes Music is fun. Got FIFA 2005 and it's no better than 2004. Gutted. But re-affirmed my love affair with Legend of Zelda - the Wind Waker. Who needs Women when you can have video games! Current Mood: artistic Current Music: Jets Vs Sharks (1 Comment |Comment on this)

8:02 pm	Pretty much nothing had been going on until the last few days. I needed a bit of time to just chill out - have some lie ins and start working and stuff until a few days ago but it's been a load of ups and downs recently. Monday I accompanied my friend to the tattoo parlour only to realise we're two days early - so we get some xmas shopping done and then play video games. Monday Night was the first time I'd dome something seriously interesting in a while. This time I went to ZEST which is our Big nightclub with probably one of the biggest alternative/student nights there is which is wierd to have one in Shitswich. But yeah it's like our equivalent to S.T.A.R I guess or maybe Cockpit - lots of people which is good but you swear it's tacky and shit and you'll never go again but you find yourself going every week! Although it was a wicked night. Went to the pubs beforehand and got pissed pretty easily and headed in. I dunno why I enjoyed it - the music was poor as usual minus Thrice, Brand New, MCE (who suck but any punk is appreciated), A7X and TBS - but I got to see SOO many people including my mates from Suffolk's finest band This Mourning After (friends of Kneehigh Gem if you're reading!)and One:Day:Life who are pop-punk perfection, and even some people came up to me saying they recognised me as the DJ for MedioXCore (as they're at Leeds)! I'm a celebrity! Friends of my sister and other amigos were there and it was just cool to catch up. I have kinda missed Ipswich a bit - it's always buzzing in the Holidays as everyone leaves the place to go to uni so it's dead come term time. Also ran into my ex from just before uni but it wasn't awkward which was a relief, but my mate who's having women troubles was miserable but kinda ruined the night. His girlfriend / ex-girlfriend (I dunno the situation) acted like a twat and ignored him all night until the end where he approached her and wanted to talk. Dunno how it ended but they both seemed happier so hopefully it's all gravy. It sucks to see people upset though and I've seen so many break-ups recently that it's getting me down. I'm relying on Peter Parker and Mary Jane to cheer me up. A real positive though is for the first time in a while I'm enjoying single life. As I effectively live in Leeds now I was completely OFF the pull and it was ace - I just got totally lashed with the lads, didn't worry about looking good or wearing a top that didn't make my butt look big or any of that crap and just danced like a bellend all night. If you think I dance stupidly in Leeds you need to see me in Ipswich - the dancefloor is ten times bigger! So my mobile-phone-emo-mike-hug was unleashed, and I even stage dived off the railings in true hardcore style - whilst being the only one on the dancefloor! It's so much funnyer when you don't care what people think and can just act like a gimp! Of course ironically at the end of the night I overheard some girls saying I was cute Tuesday was mint as Ipswich went top of the table. My voice had gone by then due to screaming to the songs Monday Night, flu and screaming at the disgraceful refereeing who allowed Wigan to get away with murder. But we came back from 1-0 down and the goal of the season to turn it around to 2-1 in the last minute! So we're top at xmas but more importantly 3 points clear of Sunderland who are the team to fear. I dunno if we will be top come May as Wigan and Sunderland have unlimited finances, but we are amazing at the moment despite the Delia Smith song being dropped by the North Stand - the spirit is there and Darren Bent is on fire. Today hit home one of the reasons Christmas sucks. It's not the commercialism which is fine as it makes people happy, or the festive spirit which is ace. It's the spending time with loved ones, which for most is great, but for my family it's hell as we are the most disfunctional family in the World. I won't say why as I don't feel comfortable writing about it on the internet, but if i tell you my mum's passed out on the sofa as i type this at 8:30pm with another empty bottle of whisky in the bin, you kinda get the picture.... But I kinda feel good because this year I'm getting absolutely nowt. And for some reason I'm much happier. There's nothing I actually want that I couldn't really get for myself, so I'd much rather everyone spent their money on people who do want things. For some reason it feels really good, and given the student loan income I've been able to splash out on more presents for people. No doubt I'd still be called lazy selfish scum by my loving parents but fuck it I know I'm a good person and don't have to take what they say seriously. Nobody else who knows me agrees so I just have to remember that next time I'm verbally assaulted. So I approach Christmas with mixed feelings - but it's gonna be a shit one. My friend got robbed and that's really got me down, many break-ups, living at home is depressing, oh and I hit my mum's friend's car and made a dent in so feel terrible as my car got a few scratches and i have exams coming up. It is great to see friends though and I guess that's what's got to keep me going. I just wish there' was somewhere I could go to work in peace without it being at home.

7:40 pm	Ups and Downs: Early Recordings and B Sides Hmm so kinda eventful stuff on my first few days back home. I'll start off by saying it's actually no warmer in Ipswich than it is 'oop North - I'm guessing it's because we're on the coast here and Leeds is inland. But anyway so yeah read it all cos it's interesting. And Jacl/Gem/Spud/Rich/Malk etc find me more mates - and the photo thing isn't working! Live Jornal is complicated especially when you can't spell the thing! Sunday was not really am particularly exciting day. I lay in bed, watched telly and little else really. I buggered off to see my mate Danny and we went for a quiet pint or two in Woodbridge (my nearest town). Originally I wasn't too excited about going home - I tend to get on with my parents better when we're the other side of the country, and Leeds is far more exciting, but I'm warming to Suffolk again. My dogs are mint and I was beginning to miss my home mates, so it was cool to start off with a quiet one with my closest mate who's having a ball with his girlfriend at uni. So an Up really. Monday looking back, t'was insane, but a downer. I was awaken at the crack of dawn because mum wanted to do some things and needed me to lie with the cat and give it some attention and love, as he was on his last legs due to kidney failure. You'd be amazed how quickly he deteriorated - as he seemed fine last time I came home, but he could barely walk and wouldn't eat anything at all, and he used to eat 24/7. We had him put down later on that day :( I would be gutted, but when it comes down to it he was 16, had a happy life in a loving home so it's comforting to know that. It was best to put him down as he couldn't walk or eat, and could only really sleep, so at least he could be peacefully in his mum's arms (he was more her and my sister's pet). When the dogs go I'll cry my eyes out though, as I'm not really a cat person but my dogs I love like I would my kids. But I still went to Fire and Ice in Ipswich - our kinda punk/metal club which is kinda cool - free bar from 8 with live bands and then a club upstairs from 10. Sadly the live bands were metal bands so the club was full of vampires and such so it was kinda lame. I also found out that two of my mates who have been together as long as I had known them, lived together and seemed destined be be together forever broke up, which is really sad as I thought if any couple could make it it would be them. So I conclude no-one will ever be happy in love ever. Bit of a down Tuesday started as a down as I watched a lot of MTV and realised I'm never gonna get a girl like Cheryl from Girls Aloud which isn't fair cos I'd be a mint boyfriend for her. But solace is found in the sheer hilarity that is the new Ashley Simpson song which has the lyrics "you make me wanna la la". There's a girl who goes to the Cockpit and Hozzy Radio who looks a lot like her too. Interesting... Then went to see Blink 182 at Brixton with my mate Tom, another who has got out of a serious relationship and needs serious cheering up. So hopefully Mark, Tom and Trav could bring it to him. It was an ace gig, although if I saw one of the arena dates it would have seemed better cos I feel I took seeing Blink in an academy rather than an arena for granted. The Kinison were okay and Sugarcult were probably the dullest piece of shit I'd ever seen and makes me wonder why I used to like that band. My faith in pop-punk is diminishing so hopefully Fall Out Boy will blow me away and hopefully I'll marry Kenny from The Starting Line. Blink were very similar to their shows in February. The jokes are toned down but still amusing, Tom is still very sloppy and hides this with exciting guitar effects and they play their songs ten times faster than on record - but of course it was brilliant. Highlights included their mix of old songs (and kids chanting for 'carousel' not having a clue what 'M+Ms' was), Dick Lips, Down and For All Of This. Mark also did a guitar solo and drum solo at the end proving he is by far my fave Blink member - Travis has the personality of a brick and Tom loves himself. Mark loves me, and I love him. Today Slept, took the dogs for a walk, did some recycling, fucked around on this thing and am about to see some more mates from home and get pissed. Need to remember to do my sarcastic emo my space thing. Next semester I'm going to itnerrogate the underage fashionXCore kids and ask about their womens jeans and see if they wear womens underwear. Honestly why do people dress like bellends to look scene? Current Mood: blah Current Music: The Promise Ring (2 Comments |Comment on this)

11:42 pm	I have a Live Journal Right so I've just completed my first semester of uni and I've started up a Live Journal account thingy. I'm not quite sure why - I always used to think these kinda things were for people who a) were computer geeks b) had way too much time on their hands or c) had no mates. But as I've met many safe people with them and seeing as I'm a pretty open minded guy I'm gonna try it out and it gives me a chance to catch up with friends from all over the country so it seems like a sound idea. Shame I can't get a picture but whatever! So yeah the last week was kinda cool. Went out a few times, interviewed Senses Fail and got to hang out with my uni friends one last time before heading off down south. If I'm honest I don't wanna be home right now cos I wanna continue to hang with my uni pals! But a break is in order I guess and upon return I found out my cat is dying :( so I guess it's best spend some quality time before its too late. Plans over the next week: Get a job (hopefully postman), sort out Xmas shopping and start some work and revision before all my mates break up - as hardly anyone is back at the mo so I may as well work when I've got little else to do. It's gonna be wierd back in Suffolk Current Mood: uncomfortable Current Music: Killswich Engage / New Found Glory / UnderOATH (1 Comment |Comment on this)
