Seriously when did it become acceptable?...#1

to say the word 'LOL" as if its a true word??

Now my understanding of the acronym 'lol' is that it stands for Laugh out loud. That makes sense no?

Now I remember using it obsessively in the days when MSN Messenger was in its hay day and 'Facebook' was just a glimmer in its eye. It just became one of those things that you would just use to reply to someones inane comment, this may shock and appall some people but I NEVER REALLY LAUGHED AT ALL!!

This habit developed into what I call "My Darkage', you know that point in your life just before you start evolving into a human being? I think the modern lingo for it is 'Tween'. This difficult period of time usually involves that ever present mind control threat that is 'World of Warcraft'.



Now that I have reached my golden years and pried my impressionable mind away from Epic Armour people have actually factually started using 'lol' as a word?!

I MEAN WTF?!?!

WHY NOT JUST ACTUALLY FREAKING LAUGH?!?!

It is just me?! Am I getting old before my time?? or am I just being 'Whack'??

Hmmmm MkII

"Anarchy - Absence of any cohesive principle, such as a common standard or purpose."

Does it not seem a little bit of an oxymoron to have a 'Common Purpose' between people that is supposed to be that of one that has no common purpose?

Not helped by the fact that even in the presence of chaos people would use a standard symbol to show it??

Hmmmm

³⁴⁵⁶"Abraham was the father of Isaac, and Isaac the father of Jacob, and Jacob the father of Judah and his brothers, and Judah the father of Perez and Zerah by Tamar, and Perez the father of Hezron, and Hezron the father of Aram, and Aram the father of Aminadab, and Aminadab the father of Nahshon, and Nahshon the father of Salmon, and Salmon the father of Boaz by Rahab, and Boaz the father of Obed by Ruth, and Obed the father of Jesse, and Jesse the father of King David.

And David was the father of Solomon by the wife of Uriah, ⁷and Solomon the father of Rehoboam, and Rehoboam the father of Abijah, and Abijah the father of Asaph,^{* 8}and Asaph^* the father of Jehoshaphat, and Jehoshaphat the father of Joram, and Joram the father of Uzziah, ⁹and Uzziah the father of Jotham, and Jotham the father of Ahaz, and Ahaz the father of Hezekiah, ¹⁰and Hezekiah the father of Manasseh, and Manasseh the father of Amos, the father of Josiah, ¹¹and Josiah the father of Jechoniah and his brothers, at the time of the deportation to Babylon.

12^13141516 And after the deportation to Babylon: Jechoniah was the father of Salathiel, and Salathiel the father of Zerubbabel, and Zerubbabel the father of Abiud, and Abiud the father of Eliakim, and Eliakim the father of Azor, and Azor the father of Zadok, and Zadok the father of Achim, and Achim the father of Eliud, and Eliud the father of Eleazar, and Eleazar the father of Matthan, and Matthan the father of Jacob, and Jacob the father of Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom Jesus was born, who is called the Messiah."

Now don't get me wrong or anything but why go through Josephs genealogy when he wasn't even Jesus' father?......

The Creative urge is oozing...

but nothing is coming out.

Its 3:30 on a beautiful bank holiday Monday afternoon. The sun is out, there's a tiny finch bathing in the pond just above the sight line of my laptop screen and I'm outside with soaking up the lovely sounds of a band i was recommended.

This is where i should be thriving. Musical and lyrical ideas should be jumping from my head to the page but still nothings happening. I thought for a while that maybe it has something to do with the fact im actually happy. Maybe I'm at my most creative when things aren't going my way. But that throws up a nice little paradox. I'm happy when im writing songs but i can only write when im sad...

surely not...

I truly hope that isn't the case otherwise I'm fooked....

So its been a while...

I know, i get it. Im supposed to to be doing this on a regular basis.

Im just lazy i guess, A lots changed in recent months (year) tho.

Most of all the fact I've found myself a soul mate which is frankly amazing, why someone would want to put up with me is just beyond my comprehension. But thats the thing I think. She herself, is amazing. Im a lucky guy...

Most recently though, I've got myself signed up to be doing a degree in engineering, and a new computer to boot, so im gonna strive to try and keep this thing up to date and anyone that can be arsed to give a crap in the know :)

Bye bye for now though

Week 5: Half Way!

Ok so it hasn't really been a once a week kinda thing but I assure you, I really wanted it to be but every time I though about updating the blog, I either thought "I'll do it in a minute" or "I'll do it tomorrow", Ah well...

To be fair, nothing has really happened these past couple of weeks. Same old, same old really... oh cept St. Patrick's day we had a great laugh down the pub, including my personal viewing of some drunk guys hard on in the toilet...I'm neither proud nor ashamed :S

This week i've got off because the basically the factory is closed...simple BUT i've been bored out of my mind, made me realise how much I really enjoy working. But yea thats about it...

Oh yea and Only 5 weeks to go!!!.....yea "only" :(

Ms. Nash I Salute You

So last night was gig night, Kate Nash at the Hammersmith Apollo.

Very kindly Mum and Dad offered to drive me and my older sister up there and drop us off whilst they went to see My mums mum and possibly my eldest sibling. Everything was all going to plan until we just hit London and learnt that the Hammersmith one way system had been shut due to debris on the road after the previous nights storms. So we just jumped out of the car and used the underground, Think we started out South Ealing station luckily on the line we needed and it was only like 4 stops away so good times.

Go the the Apollo to find a mahuusssive que outside and the doors weren't open so the que wasn't moving. Kristy said she knew a little pub just round the corner so we went and had a nice little drink or two. Really nice kinda trying to be modern pub but a bit run down, quite nice atmosphere so really enjoyed it. Bout half 8 we left to go in but still there was a huge que, we thought screw it we'll just get in there. In all honesty within like 10 minutes we were at the front so no problems there really.

Got in had another few drinks, decided not to watch the support act cause they were called "Black Kids" and we thought that was "un-PC" (lol by now we were pretty well toasted) but we saw Ms. Nash was on at 9:15 so got into the auditorium for bout 9. Kristy heard the directions from the usher wrong and went right instead of left and we walked through a whole row of people trying not to spill our drinks only to find we were in seats 2 and 3 when our tickets were for 32 and 33. So made our way round the back and up the top and eventually found our seats, quite good, quite a way back but right in the middle and could see the stage pretty well.

Well when Kate actually came on, all the girls (which made up a good 85% of the crowd) went mental. Although the acoustics weren't great where we were sitting, you could hear the she was exactly like she was on the album, and she was putting all she had into the performance which i truly respect her for. Played the handful of songs i really knew and played them well, the songs I didn't know, also were really cool although cause of the acoustics like I said I couldn't really make out the words clearly which is really the more important side of her music. All in all a really good performance and great musicianship all around ~ turns out shes actually quite handy with and guitar as well as a piano.

Nothing really to report leaving everything went well and we got home by about 12:30 to which i wrapped up the night with Beans of Toast and a cup of tea

Good Times...
