Something is just right...

Finally, i've found something to blog about!

This past week has been awesome!

My mam has been in Spain for the past week and it was weird, everyone relies on her, and honestly I expected the house to go to hell in a hand basket without her... but it strangely didn't. My brother and sister had hardly fought, and I didn't have yell at them at all, proper weird man!

Anyways, on Tuesday I went out with my mates after school to the town, we were originally going to see World War Z because it looks mint, but it finished about 9'ish and my mate had to be home for 8 o'clock. So instead of doing that, we went and had 3 games of bowling at 10 Pin and afterwards had two games of pool, needless to say it was epic and we all had a right laugh! And I think my pool playing skills have increased a little bit!

Other than that, you know that band me and my mate are in? Well after 6 months of hard searching... we found a guitarist and possibly a singer. I'm buzzing about it! I've been talking to the new guitarist on Facebook, and he's fucking brilliant! He loves Nirvana and most of the music we're into, he has the same sense of humor as us... and best of all... he likes Resident Evil. Hands down, he's one of the coolest guys i've ever came across. He also owns a lot of guitars, and is really technical with them, whereas I don't know shit all about the technical side of instruments, I haven't even changed a guitar string in my life, the most 'technical' i've ever gotten is I removed one of my SG's tone knobs, tightened the bolt and stuck it back on because it wasn't working.

I usually don't get this feeling about people, but I think this is the right guy to play guitar for us, it's not a feeling of excitement that we've finally found someone, it's weird, I feel like I know something good will come out of this, something really good, too good for words to explain. Something just feels right about it and i'm determined to find out what it is!

Lor wanted me to update, so here goes:

(Nothing really important is going to be in the blog by the way)

So today I had band practice, which we haven't had in 2-3 weeks... and it was brilliant. Aside from the fact, half of the equipment wasn't working, and the amp I was using was absolutely shite, we still managed to get the job done.

Actually, rather than practicing (by which I mean just covering songs), I showed my band-mate some of my songs I had been writing, and he showed me what he'd been writing. And honestly, for all his songs had very simple chord structures, they were great, honestly. There was one song he showed me, and I just thought 'that is fucking great', but it was so catchy, I had to go home and record it on my computer. I recorded 2 versions, the original version he showed me (just straight up fast guitar), and another version with more rhythm/melody to it (with guitar and bass).

Onto a different subject now.

This Friday coming, my mam is going abroad to Spain with her friends for a week. She's even wrote a planned meal for what we'll have for tea everyday, i'm not joking. So let's see how that turns out, i'm pretty sure hell will break out every 5 seconds, because my brother and sister fight as if they're on Smackdown vs Raw.

My buddy Keith also wants my friend Amy and me to go bowling, and have a couple of games of pool in the town this Friday, as well as that, my mate is wondering if I want to stay back and have another band practice... oh, decisions, decisions, and while it's on my mind, he told me to go listen to 'Bleach' by Nirvana, I unfortunately have not listened to it yet....

It's been a hectic week for me (literally).

Let's just say i've been stressed over the past few days, for reasons unknown, and it's caused me to be really bitchy to my family, especially my dad.

Well yesterday I done something quite irrational, I got in the house from school and stormed up to my room. Nobody had done or said anything to me, but I started screaming and yelling at everyone for no initial reason.

I think it was stress from not having anywhere to go in the house to cool down, chill out, my brother is really bone-idle and sharing a room with him for the time being really stresses me out because he's so untidy, disrespectful and messy, my sister has became worse behaved and screams everyday when she can't get her own way. I don't even have a place where I can go to play my guitar in peace to let my creative side flow.

I'm assuming all of that built up and I just raged and ran out of the house, I wasn't intending to run away, I just needed at least 15 minutes out the house to chill. I had to literally push my mam out the way and screamed at her just so I could get out.

Coincidentally, Kenny was at my front door about to ask for her skateboard and I just ran out (she did get her board back though :P) and I just kinda broke down, in tears, and so did my mam, but I just needed 15 minutes away. I've never seen myself so hysterical in my life and neither has Kenny. I wasn't even down the street yet and I already felt bad, and I felt like a desperately needed to apologize to my dad for being so horrible to him over the past few days, so as me and Kenny went looking for him (because he was walking our dog) she really comforted me and reassured me everything would fly over and i'd be good in no time!

Whilst I was out, my mam rang me twice and the second time she managed to convince me to come home and talk things out. So I did, and I can't thank Kenny enough for just comforting me haha, but in all seriousness I came home and just cried and apologized for my irrational behavior. Usually i'm so open with my mam I don't even know why I was stressed out but we managed to sort things out and I became friends with my dad and I feel so much better!



I regret how hastily I acted because there was no need for it, but in a way I don't because I know never to do it again, plus, I got a good part of a song outta it ;)

So lesson of the week: No matter how stressed you are, don't worry about it, keep your head up high because happiness always finds it's way in the end!

Anyways, today was much better and I feel so much better!

I went to town with my mam and nana, got some new earrings and a new album to go towards my collection!

I got Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds' album, and it's absolutely amazing, truly a work of a God, ever since I heard 'If I Had A Gun' on Youtube I knew I had to buy this album!

But I was also torn between buying Oasis and Beady Eye, they're all equally as amazing in my eyes, but for some reason I just had to go for Noel!

So, I come home and put my CD onto iTunes and put it on my iPod and put it in my room along with my other CD's!

Then I went straight to my Nana's through Seaham to see her and my Granda, then went home, got my iPod and listened to some Noel Gallagher on my way to Kenny's dad's house and met up with her and Lor there. Afterwards we headed down Ryhope, knocked on for our friend Amy and went out for a bit.

Then I came back up home at about 7, had my tea and wrote this :3

Hectic week, but yeah!
