Tomorrow is a pretty massive day for me.
For starters it's when I'm supposed to be hearing about my potential new job, which would mean I'm all set to move in January, if not I'll be pretty upset and I'll be letting a couple of people down.
Not to mention my dad will be on my back again...
Then it's Have Heart, the biggest Dublin Hardcore show to date it's still mental that we've come this far in a year, everything from Ceremony to Comeback Kid to this.
As well as it being HH it's also Real Talk!'s last show for a long time, if we even reform at all.
I know everyone reading this will be there (well the ones in the country anyways) BUT GET THERE EARLY cause we're on first :)
Also I'm getting Fallout 3 for 20 lads and money from RT! so yeah, hooray!
So much fun...
Yesterday was Ciara's Chrimbo Classic, and lemme tell ya, it was a fair aul laugh.
She really throws a good one, I heard there was drama but I ain't sure what happened I was busy havin' the laugh.
Ruthie and Olivia were pretty disappointed I didn't know the gossip when they came over to me haha.
It's amazing what calling someone a pussy can convince them to do.
Me: Yo Zach take a shot!
Zach: Nah man, maybe later
Me: Pussy
Zach: Fuck it give me a shot
Had the exact same scenario with Nelly too haha, except we made the shit real with the bottle of Power's.
Best part of the night had to be Kate's northern accent when she's drunk.
Accent displacement fuck yeah.
It reminded me of that episode of Maury where there are loads of tragic cases on, like this 15 year old girl who had her arm bitten off by a shark when she was surfing and this woman with some skin melty problem and they were really positive about their problems, getting back up on the horse.
Then this absolute idiot comes on and her problem is...she is American, and one day she woke up with a REALLY dodgy English accent. So she's sitting there talking to the big man crying her heart out about her accent displacement syndrome when the 15 year old girl with one arm that got bitten off was all smiles haha.
Not that Kate wasn't all smiles :)...until...haha.
Stayed in Ciara's with Duncan apparently I kept trying to starfish in my sleep but I don't think so, I have a single bed it wouldn't be one of my habits!
Ah well sher.
I stayed in all day today, watched football and made a d-lish pasta bake.
Can't wait to write a 2008 blog.
Prepare for a novel.
Sorry this wasn't mega depressing everyone

Scratch...
Most people know by now that I'm fucking plagued with hives because my mam changed the detergent we use to wash clothes and shit so my nights are filled with restless scratching.
I thought once she changed back everything would be A-Ok.
But they're progressively getting worse, as well as being absolutely awful to look at they're soooo itchy. My hips appear to be the worse, although when I scratch my belly it leaves BIG red marks.
I guess this is like late chicken pox or some shit for me.
Somebody cast Esuna on me, thx.
I'm glad we broke even on Verse, it means the tour was a success and it was a fun 3 days.
Robb's car was kinda chilly for a bit but he turned the heat on, the man doesn't feel the cold.
On the way back from Galway we got pulled over and a cop laughed at me for being unemployed a situation which I hope is remedied on Tuesday...Activision lads.
The German dude who was with Verse was a lovely fellah.
Verse are great live and FF's new songs are fantastic.
German Fellah: "Hey Duncan, why are you over here in Ireland, suckin' some dick?"
Best quote.
Myself and Mac did a lot of postering for Have Heart yesterday, well two days ago at this stage.
While we were sticking a few up in Ruallie Buaille a lad came up to us and asked what kind of music Have Heart was, generally you're reluctant to say Hardcore to people who don't really know what it is but we said Hardcore anyway.
Your man replies with...
"Hardcore, like trance mixed with bollocks?"
Hahaha that was too good.
Tonight was The Hive Benifit (how apt), it was also my first time seeing Ellie and Louise in a loooong time.
It was nice to chat to them again, they played really well too, I was too busy thinking about a goon in the crowd to enjoy it too much though haha.
Hopefully we'll be able to hang out like I said during the week.
Becca is the business, listens to me moan all the time and puts up with me.
Her and Jonathon always let me stay in their house too, it's my home away from home only this one I don't have to pay rent at...maybe I've spoken too soon...
I just wish she wouldn't go away so much! Ah well sher, gives me a Jon lad time to be lads round the gaf.
Everyone who has a band should jump on The Effort or The Carrier because we're really running out of ideas here haha.
It's stressin' me the fuck out.
Looks like we're going to come out of the Cold Winter on top though, at least I should hope so...
Peaaaace.

WINTER
A fair bit has happened since my last blog.
For starters...
I had been looking forward to this gig so much since it was announced and it really crept up quick.
As Robb said I wish it was still happening.
It was really something special, it was my first time seeing Ceremony live, lived up to every expectation AND AND AND they dedicated He-God-Has Favored our Undertakings to Real Talk! that was really something.
Apparently they were really into our Macy Gray cover haha.
Anyone who wasn't can get fucked, Macy Gray is the knees.
I had the best time playing and a lot of people who hadn't seen us before were really into it, it's a shame we're going on this break if we even end up getting back together I'll be surprised.
There was the weirdest debate that I'm sure everyone who reads this has already read on Moshspace about photographers at shows.
I dunno sher Becca took a nice one of me so I didn't real mind.
Thanks again Becca, she's a quality photographer and PROBABLY the best person around.
There were a couple of low points at Ceremony/Never Healed though like their set being cut short and Demented losing over 200 euro...but they weren't enough to taint the night it was THAT good. Oh and thanks for the scarf Fiona, sitting at the door was fucking baltic shit.
On Monday I went over to Mac's house for a bit of a sleepover with him and Fab, but she sold out and went home. Probably because she let Mac Kell order a pizza, a massive Wagon Wheel from Mizzoni's, there was only one problem with the pizza for her, Mac forgot to mention he was getting a barbeque base haha.
Mac: "I thought you LOVED BBQ base!"
Fab: "I hate it..."
Good call Macko, 20 minutes later she was gone and the lads had the gaf to themselves.
LADS.
I learned all about NFL and came close to beating Mac in NFL but the scoreline ended up 32-20 or something, anything can happen in NFL apparently.
"Nice catch Blanco Ninio, too bad your ass got saaaaaaacked"
I beat Mac in 7 games out of 9 in Prevo but it doesn't mean shit because he beat me at Prevomania, oh well.
Superbad is the best fucking film.
"WE NEED BACKUP, THERE'S SO MUCH BLOOD!"
Jobs/Games
Today these two go hand in hand because...
I got a call from Activision today, I have an interview in 10 days, fucking stoked.
Getting paid to play games, how are ya? Grand.
I really had better brush up on Guitar Hero III though, it's been a fair while, I just hope they get me to play that Killers song, I can get 100% on that on expert, not to shabby.
Oh yeah the job interview involves playing Guitar Hero III, I wasn't just saying that...
I'm going to start playing Mass Effect again, I never got around to finishing it and it's a quality game. Only problem is it's not really pick up and play and I have no idea where I left off.
Something to do with robots and guns.
I watched [REC] today, that's some scary shit.
I hope no one quarantines my gaf.
When I heard Quarantine was a remake of it, I decided to download it before I saw Quarantined, it didn't disappoint.
There's a film coming out called The Wrestler it's supposed to be incredible, I saw the title and thought it'd be a comedy with Will Ferrel or Rob Schneider or something, turns out it's a drama with Micky Rourke in it and it's gotten pretty incredible reviews, flawless ones.
Yesterday Kate came over from Glasgow to hang out, I'm pretty stoked to be hanging with her this week.
Liam treated us to Ramen yesterday, lad is a saint.
Giving me an excuse FINALLY to say ITIDAKIMASU before a meal. Hooray!
This morning, I went to Ruthie's Christmas musical, it was so good haha, Ruthie was great in all her roles, so was that lad, the only lad in the play.
Ruth played the Cinderella one of the little pigs some girl in the woods and the wolf, seeing her bark at kids was fucking hilarious.
So was me Olivia and her friend doing Head, Shoulders Knees and Toes because we were called out on not doing it the first time round.
I love fun, me.
That's all.
Talk to ya.

Timing is Everything.
IANO'S BIRTHDAY
Iano's birthday ruled.It was weird seeing everyone in Fibber's maybe it'll be a regular haunt for everyone...
I'm glad Maaaaaaark came; it was claaaaaaaahhhz.
I became Toothbreaker that night and I don't think I've ever felt so bad for an accident!
I think I paced worried for about 20 minutes before Robb came and said we were going.
Thanks for the drinks Wicked Owl and Lainey that was sound.
And to Jonathon for buying me a wedge roll.
I slept with Robbedge in Becca's house that night, he never called me after :(
You're a bad man Robb.
VIDEO GAMES
It made me -> recall finding Dom's wife, holy fuck, depression city.
Really wish I had Left 4 Dead it looks incredible.
I seriously need to finish Mass Effect but I have no idea what's going on anymore in the game since I stopped playing it, but I do remember it's totally awesome.
Dead Space is going to rule when I get a lend of it, when I do...I was super excited after I saw the animation Dead Space: Downfall. I've heard amazing things too.
I hope none of my mates turn into monsters and kill me.
Someone get me Rock Band 2 for Christmas and I'll be send you three texts messages from my phone.
THE REAL SHIT
At a party a week ago a friend said something to me that really shook me...I've been really caught up with other priorities I kinda forget about some people.
And when I do try with them they're busy or whatever...college, work, other events...
I totally understand but it's really a deterrent, ya know?
"If this carries on we'll be reduced to small talk on the street when we bump into each other just like *blank* and *blank* I don't want that, we're closer than that"
I'm always free, other people aren't. Yep.
UNRELATED
My timing is impeccable and have a feeling things aren't as simple as they appear.

The Dukes
Looks like them 'ol Demented boys have got themselves in some hot water...or so we thought.
Horse The Band was tonight and the gig was really daunting from the get go...
Seemed like everyone in the world was going to Genghis Tron instead of Horse.
And there were a lot of hitches this gig would have fallen on it's arse were it not for the Glasnevin folks.
Especially Derry, that lad has had my back since I zombified myself in Port Laoise and fought a wall. He's some fellah.
I'm pretty sure I've never put on a gig with Mac Kell where he hasn't been a fucking moan for the whole thing haha, I guess it's tradition at this stage.
I'm surprised we broke even and hey some people even bought Real Talk! stuff...
Anyway I was pretty nervous/excited about playing because we hadn't practised much at all...
But it was fantastic, I had a great time playing seriously, bummed about going on a break but if it means we can start the band back up in summer time I'm game.
I'll just be less busy at Demented shows this way I suppose.
RAN are class and Mark is Yum. ;)
As everyone knows I was in London over the weekend, it was class. I had a really awesome time.
Missing the Anniversary show was shite but still amazing weekend.
Camden has the best Thai place, THREE POUND FOR ALL YOU CAN EAT BUFFET YES FUCKING PLEASE.
Myself and Kate got on great but that's good and bad I suppose...
I finished Gears of War 2 there last night I was up pretty late doing it, every second of that game rules. It's so fucking good.
It was well worth throwing a tantrum for, anyone who paid for their copy can suck it.
It's all about regression baby.
I think me and Macker are going to do it on Insane, he should really get someone that's better than Joebreaker though...
I still have yet to complete Horde mode but I don't want to do it on pussy Casual or anything like that, someone do it with me on Insane haha.
Brumaks fucking rule. Corpsers do not rule. Anyone who hasn't got this game, get it don't be a fucking dope.
On another side note, I got the new Xbox Dashboard the other day, it's class. Way better than the old one. My Avatar has a sweet crew neck.
Good mood as always, you know it.

What Goes Up...
So tomorrow I quit my job.
The whole thing was a farce from the start to be honest.
They start out telling you that you get commission and basic.
That slowly changes to FOR YOUR FIRST WEEK.
Then it's on basic.
Then the hours...oh the hours....
The only good kinda interesting thing about the job was the meetings
It was pretty much a bunch of dudes slapping five and shouting, surreal.
Don't get me wrong I LOVE slappin' five but ehh it was all a bit cultish.
Kinda like this only more shouting, high fives and less cool.
I thought it was a once off on Friday, Jacco got a sale took too long to close didn't get out 'til 11pm after starting at 9am.
Fuck that shit.
That was all this fucking week and it really fucked up plans and I let a coupla people down by bailing, NOT MY FAULT...ya'll know I dun play da.
Tomorrow I quit and it's back to the drawing board.
The hours are pretty much the main reason but with that as well I was selling a shitty Eircom alarm system that even at half priced is over-priced.
It's a bullshit system with "100%" response rate.
It takes at least half an hour for the guards to come round.
I could easily break into your house, take a shit on your pillow, take a shower and steal your HDTV in that time.
Any criminal deterred by the system should really get out of the game.
A selling point for it is that it doesn't go off outside anymore just inside, so nobody hears it...when you're not in.
Fuck off Eircom.
Anyway BRILLIANT, job search begins again, NEVER doing sales.
Felt like such a tool. Wish I hadn't wasted my time and money and blah blah blah.
I look grand in a suit though...
Looking forward, I do feel totally motivated.
Someone hang with me tomorrow, you have my digits.
1 Day.

Fight Through The Pain
Work training is intense but I know it will pay off in the end, big time.
If I can get good at this job, I'll be rollin' in it. I'll have more money for loads of trips to London.
And to pay off my ridiculous credit card bill. HOORAH.
But on to the REAL shit.
Mac took this awesome picture of me mincing a dude in Gears of War 2.
I'm getting pretty good at it, only a matter of time til we're all fantastic and the best team around.
I threw a tantrum in Tesco and my mam got it for me.
We were walking by the games and it happened something like this...
Me: Hey maaaaa can I get this gaaaaaame pleaaaase!?
Ma: No
Me: AWH BE SOUND I WANT IT
Ma: look it's too expensive
Me: Put it on your credit card, CMOOOOOON
Me: No
Me: AAAAAAAHHH MAAAA!!!! IT'S SO GOOD AN I HAVE NO MONEY!!!
Ma: Ok but don't tell your dad
Me: Can I get the special edition!?
Ma: What's the difference?
Me: You get a nifty gun...
Joe - 1
Adulthood - 0
This song is rad.

Straight To The Top
So today was very fucking testing, but I managed to make it and get a job.
5 out of 40. I am TOO good at talking to interviewers.
Started at 1pm and finished at 11pm, that's an extra 1.
Basically we went on a Sales Run our to Ballycomelately or somewhere, selling Eircom Phonewatch to people.
Which is pretty class because I just so happen to HAVE one of those things so I know how it works and how to talk about it.
Some of the tactics are pretty underhanded but not necessarily lies, and you really have to be good with conversation so I hope it's something I can work on, it'll be good for my confidence.
And with amazing commission at 150 euro a sale.
That's a fuckin incentive and a half. So at 2 sales a day + standard pay we're looking at over a grand a week.
Thanks very much. See you in casa del JB.
Anyway I went to the Toga party after and had a shite or two.
Sang songs with the lads, love singing songs.
AND THROUGH IT ALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL...
Robbedge was good enough to always have my back and give me a lift to the place.
Never got to drink me cans though, thanks Olivia for getting them though :D, the match tomorrow will be tasty. Unless United loose.
Think I'm going to lunch tomorrow with a few people, that's what Simon told me anyway.
He's a rad dude. Seriously. And tomorrow night? Who knoooows.
Someone have a party and let me shit on their pillow.
Next week will be rough, but I'll be getting cash in the end and I'm sure it gets real easy.
But I get the best reward ever next Friday :)
And a ten page letter on like Tuesday or something if you sent it!
Brilliant.
Heeeeeeey.
Sometimes, I'm too gorgeous Ladies.

Putting All My Eggs...
There Are No Eggs
Yeah so I had 2 separate job interviews and I hadn't expected to be totally awesome at everything.
So I got through to ROUND 2: FIGHT for both jobs, one is ridiculously far away in town and I'm not really in the position financially or geographically to go for that one, also the interviewer was a douchebag, so I have to call tomorrow and cancel the interview, can't wait...
So this other job is great anyway, it's exactly the same except nearer to me, their Round 2 is just a training session according to your one.
550 a week + Benefits and management training or whatever.
I'm that much closer to moving out :D
Party in JB's, Prevomania you name it.
The people are real nice from my brief experience and the interviewer called me up and praised me for a couple of minutes haha. It was rad.
Interviews are a load of fun you just get to talk about how awesome you are for 20 minutes to a complete stranger.
I pretty much talked about Demented for the whole thing and both interviewers were completely fascinated, the first guy was all about the money the girl who interviewed me asked loads of questions though. Said I had leadership qualities.
Anyway that's that and speaking of leadership qualities, Gears of War 2 is out tomorrow and I have no fucking money to lead a squad of dudes against the Locust.
Everyone is going to be way better than me by the time I get the game :(
Someone buy it for me and I'll probably marry you but never talk to you unless you have Gears of War 2 and are on Xbox Live.
I downloaded Mr. Vengeance to find it was in Korean (Love it) with Dutch Subtitles (Don't love it) so now I have to download it again, ugggh. That said it only took an hour to download so it wasn't that much of a loss.
I'm going to London tomorrow week, totally stoked.
I just need to get more money.
I'm currently waiting on a letter too :)
Oh and I owe Mac Kell a Caffeine Free Diet Coke.
He knows why.
Find your basket.
Peace

Apparently I'm Naive...
Who'd have thunk it?
The last few days have really tried my patience with some people.
Real Talk! stuff has me pretty messed up and annoyed mostly by the way it was handled...
Other things like hang outs and chatting to Kate are what I'm all about, seriously wished she lived in Shankill and not...London.
What can ya do?
Only 10 days anyway.
Tomorrow or today should I say, I'm dropping over to Classnevin to hang with Laura, maybe we'll watch Con Air over a few shites...who knows?
I bet she does. I hope I don't get sick everywhere again haha.
Oh Joebreaker...
ALSO
Thanks for calling Eddie and Laura, love you too.
"You're a good lad" :D
I just watched Kidulthood and Adulthood, I dunno what everyone is on about they're both fairly quality people seem to have a problem with the sequel.
If I start calling you blood, you know why.
You're not my fucking blood though.
I also watched Chinjeolhan Geumjassi (Sympathy For Lady Vengeance), it was a bit hard to follow for a good while because it kept going from past to present. The cinematography in it was awesome. The snow at the end is actually salt, how about that?
But yeah it was an awesome film, Old Boy is definitely better though, that scene with the claw hammer will stay with me forever.
I've yet to see the first of the Vengeance Trilogy though, I'm downloading it now so I'm pretty stoked.
I'm also downloading the anime version of Old Boy that I never knew existed. Classss.
I stayed up til just now breaking 20,000 Gamerscore.
I know it's only half Mac Kell's but fuck Mac Kell.
Lost Odyssey is a quality game, I started it back in March and 4 discs later I completely forgot to finish it, it has nice little stories to read. It's really old fashioned with the random battles which will never not be annoying.
The ending is at least half an hour long full of feel good shit.
And the last boss for all his ridiculous power throughout the game is really easy. Maybe I'm too good? Usually when it comes to games like this I'm a perfectionist but I don't really have the drive in this case.
7/10 all around I reckon. I'd say rent it but you'd have to rent it at least 300 times.
This party on Friday should be awesome if the discussion beforehand goes well.
Which it probably won't.
Keep yourself in check Joe, just think of Ghost.
It's all good babybaby.
The last few days have really tried my patience with some people.
Real Talk! stuff has me pretty messed up and annoyed mostly by the way it was handled...
Other things like hang outs and chatting to Kate are what I'm all about, seriously wished she lived in Shankill and not...London.
What can ya do?
Only 10 days anyway.
Tomorrow or today should I say, I'm dropping over to Classnevin to hang with Laura, maybe we'll watch Con Air over a few shites...who knows?
I bet she does. I hope I don't get sick everywhere again haha.
Oh Joebreaker...
ALSO
Thanks for calling Eddie and Laura, love you too.
"You're a good lad" :D
I just watched Kidulthood and Adulthood, I dunno what everyone is on about they're both fairly quality people seem to have a problem with the sequel.
If I start calling you blood, you know why.
You're not my fucking blood though.
I also watched Chinjeolhan Geumjassi (Sympathy For Lady Vengeance), it was a bit hard to follow for a good while because it kept going from past to present. The cinematography in it was awesome. The snow at the end is actually salt, how about that?
But yeah it was an awesome film, Old Boy is definitely better though, that scene with the claw hammer will stay with me forever.

The Difference A Weekend Makes...
NINETY FUCKING THREE
Basically the last week or so has been pretty great for me.
Let's start with the revival of the fucking kru.
Eddie invited me over to hang out the other day so after leaving Jon and Becca's (thanks for having me all the time) I met Big Ed in town and we went to the Hideaway.
It was the day of those student protests protests, Jonathon informed me of some pretty amazing signs,
"Legalise Hash and Get Your Tits Out"
Well someone had better give them some tits and hash. Laughed hard.
Anyway myself and Eddie chilled in the Hideaway playing Prevo 6 with ridiculously big players.
Then we decided to waltz on down to Lidl and grab a few Flagons. When we were down there some 17 year old French kids approached me and asked me to get them some Guinness because it was their dream to try Guinness in Ireland before they left, only one of them spoke English and he had an American accent, but thick French when he spoke French.
So I thought I give them a break and buy them warm Lidl Guinness.
I asked them to be Nonchalant about the whole thing as in
DON'T FUCKING STAND IN THE DOORWAY WATCHING ME BUY YOU BOOZE.
It all went to plan regardless I'm sure those kids got absolutely FUCKED UP on that stuff.
"Hey thanks guy!"
We went back to the Hideaway and watched the Football match Atletico deserved to win against Liverpool. Those Flagons though... probably the harshest shit to drink ever, we got fucked up haha. I woke up with Eddie's cat purring on really loudly on my chest, best wake up.
Just about to move a bit on...
So Friday was interesting enough.
I had originally intended to hang out with Kate and Liam (The Scottish Folks) but they had decided to go to Whelan's and no one else was up for going so it looked like that wasn't going to happen
So the plan changed to head out to Doran's and just chill with Oisin Robbedge, Aurelia (Who is one of the nicest girls ever).
But I still really wanted to see Kate (Picture with me looking like a creep on the right) while she was over.
So Robb says he'll head up with me and Aurelia tagged along.
I had a surprisingly amazing time in Whelan's, I chatted to Kate for most of the night and she said some pretty hilarious ropey things then we went back to Liam's and it was surreal.
I walked in and his room mate's best friend John was dancing to Britney Spears at 3am and they were having a little party, they were all really nice and were offering us drinks etc.
We watched John's reenactment of a Britney Spears song too I'll post it below for your viewing pleasure, IT'S REALLY WELL SHOT!
Myself Kate and Liam spent the next morning just laying in bed because we were wrecked and the weather was fucking miserable, leaving for Prevomania was so hard, but it was my calling.
Liam's Room Mate and friends let me get in a taxi to Tallaght Square with them!
It was really nice of 'em to do so.
So I got to know really well and she invited me to stay with her in London in two weeks.
Stoked.
PREVOMANIA
The Grandest Stage of the them all.Too bad I had the hardest group of them all, but there is no use moaning I had a brilliant time at this. I still feel I should have equalized with Zach AGAIN but it wasn't to be.
Anyway singalongs to Macy Gray (I TRY TO SAY GOODBYE AND I CHOKED), group photo and maaaates made it an amazing night. Thanks for having it again Mac.
Keep it fucking clean next time you're lucky I was there the first time to be you fill in mam.

Haircut
I always put off getting a hair cut as a long as a can, because I'm always afraid that they'll fuck it up...it turned out alright this time but while I was there, it was an emotionally distressing experience.
Yesterday was the day I went and got one.
I met Fab in town and we went over to Just Cuts, delicious 7 euro haircuts.
So after waiting for a bit we noticed this 12 year old kid running around in the black shirt and tie taking people's money so I started to get nervous...
"What if this kid wants to have a crack at my hair!?"
And sure enough...
He comes over and says who's next there please, according to Fabiana it wasn't me but I stood up anyway, I broke the barber code I know, I didn't realise.
So he sits me down in the chair and lowers it all the way down (Kid is about 3ft tall) and asks what do I want, in my head I'm screaming
"ANOTHER FUCKING BARBER PLEASE THANKS"
Buuuut I said exactly what I wanted, so the kid picks up a scissors and then...
Starts laughing at me haha.
"Did you actually think I was gonna cut your hair?"
"ummm"
So the woman who cut my hair last time comes out does the job in ten minutes and then we got Pizza Hut and listened to a rad 80s soundtrack.
I've no pics but it looks like that and I like this pic.
YEAH.
I saw The House Bunny with Kate and Olivia last night too, there were some pretty funny parts but for the most part it was ridiculous and that music video at the end...oh jesus.
Seems to me like that girl from "Raising Dad" is a bitch in every film.
Anna Faris is really good at being completely dense, sometimes it was endearing others it was just plain annoying.
Lemme tell ya.
This will be the best thing ever.

Yo! What's Happening
So I've decided to switch to Blogger. Coooool.
I've been unemployed for quite a while now and it's pretty sweet y'know, just chillin' hanging with all my friends and making a few new ones recently but I'm slowly slipping into poverty so I guess it has it's ups and downs.
Tomorrow I've to do a lot of postering for all the gigs Demented are doing this Winter so that'll keep me occupied haha, it's like having a job a bit.
PLEASE GIVE US ALL YOUR MONEY.
Yesterday was a really good day for me which was a sharp contrast to most of the week.
Felt a bit let down for most of it.
Here's me looking with a shit eating grin, Robbedge and some lad I don't know haha.
WHERE WERE ALL THE LAYDIES AT FOR MY PIC?
I think I'll dress up more often heh.
(This was an eye opener, I'm getting a haircut tomorrow)
Big Sound Eddie invited me over to hang out then I realised that there was also a gig on at the Hideaway so 2 birds one stone. Myself and Bryan climbed a tree, we were so high I probably could have jumped over The Hideaway.
The line up wasn't fantastic barring RAN who are pretty amazing. I spent most of the gig just chatting to the lads.
Afterwards Claire, Fabiana and Mac Kell picked me and Bryan up and we went to Sandycove and walked the promenade down the 40ft, I had a blast jumping around on the rocks and climbing shit, much to Fab's distaste. Nothing cheers me up more than acting the mad lad.
We also learned that Mac Kell is immune to fear.
I had a pretty shit night on Saturday up until we got the Nitelink...
You see there we were in Doran's and I wasn't feeling the music so at about 3am, myself and Bryan decided to leave.
So we're chillin' having chats about Bryan's mot when some apple tart gets on the bus with a mane of wild blonde hair, so she sits in front of us and kinda passes out.
She eventually moves her hair aside to reveal possibly one of the greatest anythings ever.
Always is always forever...
ARUFFF
She looked behind and shouted at one of the lads behind us, I was absolutely terrified we had been found out.
I wrote SNOOP in the condensation on the window and an arrow pointing to her shoulder, I am the living end sometimes...
I'm really excited about all the video games coming out too.
My only problem is I can't afford any of them.
Gears of War 2, Dead Space, PES 2009, Fallout 3.
Lucky for me I have a credit card and give absolutely no thought into the consequences of abusing that privilege!
Be careful Joe...
I really want to watch Con Air, Bryan let's do it.
