Well ho-lee shit I have not blogged in a while, what has it been, like 4 months? Wow, and to add to all the excitement, it's Christmas in 8 days!!

So, as you can probably guess A LOT has happened over these past 4 months, like seriously. The band i'm in is still together (and yet, we still have no name) and we've been practising at The Bunker Rehearsal Studios like mad crazy to the point i'm almost skint, all out of money and my mam demands "No more practices until after Christmas okay!", we're also getting a gig coming up which I can't even begin to state how much i'm excited for. Although technically the gig isn't specifically for us, it's more about my mates band (High Anthem) but they asked us to come and support and play before them so it's going to be off the walls energetic!

Also, in the October I turned 16. Didn't do much big, just stayed in and had family members around the house and ate a lot of food and cake (and not to mention my cake was fucking awesome!).

School I suppose has been the same, same routine everyday, get up, changed, yell at my brother for being lazy, go to school, 'work', break, more 'work', lunch, mess around, 'work' again for 2 hours, go home, shower, pyjamas, go on my guitar or bass for a bit, sit on the laptop or go on the Xbox until 12 o'clock, sleep, and wake up again absolutely shattered. Cycle continues.

And mentioning Xbox in the paragraph above, my Xbox has fooking broke, absolutely guttered. The disk tray is completed knacked, therefore I can't read or play any CD's or game disks, the only things I can play are the downloaded games (a.k.a Sonic Adventure 2 Battle and Halo 3, and quite frankly i'm getting tired of repeating playing those). This has been like this since the end of October/beginning of November, so thank the lord my Nana is getting me a new Xbox 360 for Christmas!

Once again speaking of getting new things, I also may be getting an Epiphone Thunder (out of my saved up money, of course), as much as I love my Fender Squier Precision bass, and it was an awesome first bass, I've had it for 3 year now and it's beginning to get worn out and i've realized I tend to have better ease playing on Thunderbird Bass necks then Fender Precision bass necks. Fender Precision necks are too wide for me to hit notes and having small fingers doesn't help much either (hehe) especially when playing songs that include lots of hammer ons and pull off's.

I could write much more in this blog, but there is too little on my mind, i'm sure if I remember anything, I shalll update you ;)

And, if I don't write another blog until after Christmas, or just before Christmas, here is a picture of me and my friends.

((we're cumin 2 steele ur crimbo))

Merry Christmas!

Stupid Windows 8

Let's get into the blog straight away, shall we?

So, my dad decided to download Windows 8 operating system on the laptop, to test out how good it was... and I absolutely hate it.

OKAY, it looks good on my Windows 8 phone (obviously), but on my laptop I hate it. Plus, since my laptop is only a small Packard Bell netbook, it does not have the proper resolution to run half the apps on the starting screen.

 

And the worst thing about it too, is that it automatically came with Internet Explorer (which I hate even more), and I couldn't stand to use it, so I downloaded Google Chrome.

Onto something a little bit different now

---

The other day (I do recall it was Sunday) I had band practice, which was the funniest practice i've ever been to in my life.

Let me elaborate.

When we first started, we had a lot of trouble with amps in the room, and tried about 3 different guitars which one of the staff brought in for us. It took us ages to try and get anything working, and it was about an hour and a half into practice, and our guitarist (who is very particular about which guitars he likes to play) went off looking for the staff to ask for another guitar (for about the 3rd time haha). 

After 5 minutes of looking for him, he decided to let himself into the guitar cupboard, and heard a practice room door open and thought it was the guy. So, our guitarist popped his head around the corner, and it turns out it wasn't the staff, it was these 2 weird kids, that looked about 14/15 dressed in a gothic/emo fashion and they decided to follow him. So he panicked (he's very socially awkward, you see)... and attempted to lock himself into the guitar cupboard.

Yes, he tried to lock himself into the guitar cupboard, and obviously these 2 weird kids, both tried to open the door, and eventually succeeded. So, in a blind panic, our guitarist tried to find his way back into the practice room, but ended up going to the wrong end of the corridor, and these people kept on following him, so he panicked even more, and ended up sprinting back down the hallway, and found his way into our practice room again.

When he told us, me and our drummer laughed absolutely hysterically, and not long after, our guitarist said he was going back out to look for guitars. Anyways, the next thing we know he opens the door and here's these 2 emo/goth kids standing there STARING at us.

Just standing there, staring at us with a blank expression on their face gazing into our souls, they weren't even smiling or anything or looked the least bit amused by the whole thing. And what made it even more creepy was the fact we were in the first practice room, and to get into our practice room, you had to push open 2 heavy creaky doors. And we heard nothing, they just kinda appeared there.

The next thing we know, our guitarist jumps behind the stack of amps, and hides behind them, and fucking slams the door as hard as he possibly could, it was like a comedy scene from a movie, and we just all burst out laughing, it was the funniest thing ever. 

So literally 2 seconds later he says he's going back out to look for another guitar, we open the door, and they've just completely disappeared, we didn't even hear the doors open or anything, they had just magically gone. They must have been fucking vampires or something, because we weren't even aware anyone was there... but it was all too funny, and we're still freaked out by it.

...Then, we got the amps working and it was some sort of miracle.

I could have went into way more detail to make the story interesting, but i'm lazy you see.

My mate is Tarzan.

Sunday bloody Sunday.

Did I ever mention how much I hate Sundays? Seriously, to me, it's the most boring day of the week.

It absolutely drags when you're on school holidays, but when you've got school the next day, it seems to go as fast as Speedy Gonzales on Amphetamines.

Anyways, looks like the upcoming week isn't going to be as lazy as I expected.

Tomorrow, i'm going to Beamish for the day, Tuesday i'm going to Alnwick Gardens with my family, Wednesday i'm going out with my mate and helping her book a doctors appointment, Thursday I have to go into school and collect my GCSE test results (don't worry, i'm not shitting myself) and afterwards, going to my mates house to help each other with our artwork, Friday and Saturday i'm going to at least attempt to motivate myself to learn this music composition on bass and then perform it when I go back to school (or go out with mates which I haven't done in months), and Sunday, i'm going to book a band practice, my mates have written a shitload of songs, so i'm looking forward to playing them!

Then hopefully, the last week before we go back to school, I just plan on lazing around and doing nothing but eating, sleeping, complaining, being addicted to twitter, playing video games, watching YouTube videos and playing on my guitar (which is basically what I have done for 4 weeks straight almost).

Literally, I have done nothing for 4 weeks straight, and the only time i've stepped into the outside world was to look for school shoes to buy (which ended me not getting any at all) and going to a couple of band practices (wish I could practice more, but it's expensive!).

And speaking of doing nothing or going outside, i've barely talked to any of my mates either. We haven't fallen out or anything, we just haven't talked in ages.

In fact, the only friends I have talked to are Lor, Nikita, Sarah and my band mates.

Lor was telling me how she saw The Conjuring:

(she is the light blue text, i'm the dark blue)

And me and my guitarist were discussing about broken bones and such, and got onto how he almost broke his jaw... i'm now convinced he is Tarzan:

(Blurred for his anonymity) 

And that's about it for this week!
