My last blog was 2 weeks ago, and Kenny has just put her latest blog up so I thought it's about time for me to put a blog up again.

So, i've been really getting into Oasis, Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds and Beady Eye recently, like really.   I was already familiar with Oasis before (obviously) I mean, c'mon everybody has heard of 'Wonderwall' and 'Don't Look Back In Anger', but it's just been recently over the week i've grown a huge liking of them from nowhere... That's good though.

On another note, i'm so excited for Saturday! This may be like a 'childish' thing you're going to hear from me right now, but i'm obsessed with Dinosaurs, honestly. Ever since an early age I always had an interest in them, I also used to own Jurassic Park: Operation Genesis for PS2, Jurassic Park books and the films (speaking of films i'm really excited for the 4th installment of Jurassic Park).

- Getting back onto Saturday, i'm going to the Metro Radio Arena to see 'Walking With Dinosaurs'. What it is basically is, is 20 renowned designers have paired up with Scientists to create 20 LIFE-SIZE Dinosaurs, it sounds amazing! You get to see them fight and they're extremely realistic. I read that over 7.3 million people have seen the show, it's conducted 1,746 performances in over 206 cities, and it takes a team of 3 people (sometimes more) to operate 1 dinosaur! It honestly sounds epic, my cousin also saw it a couple of year back (and she was probably about 25) and she said it was amazing, I can't wait!

Anyways, getting onto school now our supply history teacher has (supposedly) been fired! We were supposed to have him for around 8-10 weeks... and I think we only had him for 2, maybe 3. Everybody hated him though, he was a proper dick, he called a girl in my class 'a man' when she tried to walk out of the room when he said "the girls can leave first", apparently he's also a bit a sexist. But the leading rumor is he got fired because he left my mates class un-occupied for 15 minutes and because he never taught.

So now we've got another supply teacher, and she's actually quite alright, she reasons with us, treats us nice with respect, and when teachers are nice and respectful to us, we're the same to them.

Grumpy First Impressions

I don't know if I told you guys, but our old history teacher (the amazing one) that I usually blogged about and praised, has left our school. We're all devastated, every single one of us.We knew about him leaving of course, he was just so damn hilarious it was hard not to imagine not having a history lesson with him.

My twitter conversation with my class-mate... also probably one of the smartest in the class!

Anyways our new teacher is really different, like real different and seems to have an old fashioned way of treating us, teaching us... plus he's a real grump from first impressions. For example, we waited 5-10 minutes after the bell went waiting for him to come to class, and when he did, my buddy Keith (the one who set my science work on fire, and accidentally set his own hair on fire almost etc...)  asked him "Sorry sir, what's your name?"

And he turned around and yelled:
"You will not speak to me in that manner, and don't talk to me at all, I will only speak to you if I WISH to speak to you!" 

It was a 'wtf' kind of moment, because he didn't say it in a rude tone or manner, he just simply asked. He turned around and gave me a hilarious look as if to say 'what the hell is wrong with this man?'. Anyways, as I have known Keith since we were practically babies (we call each other 'Fetus Friends') so it's easy for me to tell when he's up to something, in fact, it's actually easy for anyone to figure out if he's up to something mischievous. Because the fact is he's nothing but mischievous all the time.

So, the new teacher who's name I can't remember goes to pick up the register, he picks up the wrong one and then sends round a piece of paper in which we all have to write our names on 'nice and neat'. Keith being the dangerously daring kid he is writes it all messy not giving any fucks whatever just to wind him up. The teacher didn't say anything, but when it came to actually taking the register he kicked off yelling: "You will not say 'here' when I ask your name on the register you must reply with 'yes sir!'"

And when it came to Keith's name on the register, well he yelled out in his most stupidest voice "SIR YES SIR" and even done the salute to it. He didn't say anything and just continued on with the register, and until Keith had a reaction from him, he wouldn't stop. So he kept on going, and going making hilariously stupid voices and noises (which me, Kenny or the new kid Dale couldn't stop laughing at, and I couldn't move because my sides were practically aching) anyways it comes to the point at almost 45 minutes into the lesson, the teacher finally snaps and moves Keith because he was so irritated from him.

So, as my fetus friend eventually settles down in his new seat, Kenny started giggling, stopped after a few seconds and then coughed, and what did the new teacher do? He came over and moved her to sit somewhere else, it was priceless!

Later on I had band practice and I warned Jay about him beforehand, so I when I met up with him I asked what he thought of the new teacher, and he just looked at me and purely laughed and proceeded to say he's a dick.

And that's literally everything I have to say for today, you'd be laughing your ass off if you were there!

.....aaaaaaand on a completely un-related note i'm filling out my works experience form, i'm want to work with the police (my 2nd choice if music doesn't work out for me) :D

Time for another blog, sorry that my blogs recently haven't been as casual as I used to post.

So, right now we're on our 2 weeks holiday off school, and unfortunately it ends this Monday (when we go back). They've been good and haven't been as boring as I expected.

Beginning of the week I went to Primrose Valley caravan site down York for week, it was good but because of the cold weather we couldn't do a lot of the things we wanted to do. But we did go to the Sea Life Centre and it was really cool, we watched the Sea Lions get fed, and had a look at Sharks and other aquatic animals, and I even stroked a Starfish! >.<

Today I went to the MetroCentre with Kenny, we got a bus, two trains there and a train back, at first it was a little confusing as neither of us have taken any trains to there before, but we figured it out (eventually). When we were there I finally bought a bag I could use for school (a Ramones bag for £26 kinda a rip off I know but I was DESPERATE for a new one) and we got some new grip tape for Kenny's skateboard from SkateShack... and her Dad ended up accidentally splitting the wood on the board. While we were at the MetroCentre we managed to bump into Iron Man and got a photo taken with him!

And no it's not a statue for those wondering! :P

We also visited JG Windows and it turns out  you can do works experience there, and i've also spotted a guitar and it's amazing for just less than £200! An Epiphone Les Paul in black!

 But that's the problem i'll have 4 electric guitars if I buy this one... but 1 bass. And though I love playing guitar i'm primarily a bass player, once we get a vocalist and possibly another guitar player for the band i'm in (unless the vocalist plays guitar as well) i'll move on as the bassist for the band because bass is my calling! :3 but it's a hard decision (despite the fact everyone I know says "buy a bass!" :L)

Anyways, onto something different now...

During the week my friend wants to meet up with me because she wants to do some busking in the town and wants me to play guitar while she sings, awesome, it's a great way to let people know her talent and could even get my band recognized!

Speaking of my band, we finally have our first proper band practice tomorrow at The Bunker instead of practicing in school. It's going to be awesome, hopefully everyone can get there, the more the merrier!
