We decided just to write after all.: July 2010

You know what I'd like?

Jack Sparrows compass, although right this second it would point straight to the cake trimmings downstairs on the side, never the less i can't wait for the 4th movie "On Stranger Tides" to come out next year, Theres some pictures of Penelope Cruz dressed up in pirate gear on set but no trailer yet as far as i know

well, the compass or Bernard's watch. Lets be honest though, everyone has had the conversation over a pint of "what would you do with it?" ...

Anyways only reason for this post (also the 100th, YEEAAHH, go me :) was this, a friend goes by this quote.

Sticks and stones are hard on bones
Aimed with angry art,
Words can sting like anything
But silence breaks the heart.

Also i'm house bound for the next week, so expect more posts as ill be on the computer most of the time (practise barb test is online) until next Wednesday as thats when the army tests are, Finally . However this doesn't bother me as Young Guns Debut album ""All Our Kings Are Dead" is not only pretty sick, but has been on full blast all of today, win

Time for a catch up and round up of recent events i think... that and i have to many bruises and scraps that have emerged after The prodigy (which i'll get to) on sat so am putting off general movement today so doing this fits in well but its been about a month or so now? so round off of category's i think,

However, i warn you now to get a cuppa, maybe some food, my suggestion would be a cornetto and get comfy.

WDF: New addiction for the week, Does it Offend You, Yeah?...

Army
Tests are on the 4th now as i missed the last ones due to having the bike stolen so nothing to much on that front right now however i do now own standard issue US marine boots (there just better than the British ones) that you could happily crush something small and innocent with. Got them for training as its a trade up from running in running shoes and shorts to then use boots and combats. Teamed up with the 85l Bergen i bought ages ago its quite a funny sight, i'll get a picture or something soon.

WDF: Plan B showed up to perform with Chase and Status... (all live videos are shit but they played this)

Home stuff
Well moving out now isn't happening, i didn't get the place in Jericho but it worked out for the better. Me and mum live in a private rented house and housing benefit cover the rent basically in full based on my mums wage, however what we didn't realise was with me coming out of education and having an income mine has to be taken into account as well and they see it as i should be paying towards it. They have cut off all benefits until they back date it and i need to help out a lot with footing the bill, so my rent is around the 250 mark just to help her through the next few months, but i do have my room back now so good times but its just going to be a tough few months for finances

However, she is re-applying for a 4 bedroom council house, but filling in forms for both oxfordshire and back up north, now me and her both know there's sod all her in oxfordshire so its 90% likely she will be going back up north nearer to my grandparents in the coming months, this probably wont effect me as such as it should be around 6 months before i leave for the year and a half training stuff (if i get in) but does then mean i'll probably never return to oxford besides to see friends. bad times but thats pretty much whats going on there

WDF: Seeing what the Sony cyber-shot can do...

Work
Pretty win at the moment, i can work both bars and know all the basic cocktails, was getting a bit cheeky yesterday and nearly droped a whole bottle of gin but besides this its just fun, also for anyone whos been up to browns we have a bar area and i'm starting to get to know the locals who tip rather generously, good times, i work with a guy called Archie as well who's Russian and used to work at bridge, we have had many a conversation as there are some huge cultural differences but yesterday was pretty funny, he doesn't understand the concept of champagne and hates the stuff.

This being in a club setting, in this country if someone buys champagne there out to impress and look like the big man, lets face it and theres plenty of women fickle enough to fall for it and the bullshit that follows. he was telling me a story of how cheap people would go into the toilet with crap champagne in bridge and go and put it into a Don Perignon bottle just to look good, now if you don't have the money why bother to act like it? if you want to impress and show off, go buy a Bentley or a yacht. he was also telling me how another guy came in, bought 4 bottles of Don Perignon, drank it, said thanks and then just went home tiping all the people on the bar, no ladys and with no other reason than he enjoys the taste. what a dude.

WDF: Zane Lowe played this, there's no other song that would get 65,000 to drop everything and rave all at once before The Prodigy...

Social shizz
Everything from Crabs legendary bbq, Bridge Mondays, Pt times, Birthdays, Pubs times, Leaving and coming home party's, ... all many excuse's to go out for banterous times and get crunk :) Throw in seeing a few old faces and thats pretty much sums it up, although in the comings weeks is V festival (im going on my own but to see kasabian? who gives a fuck, that and raving to Cheryl Cole? :P) im heading to shropshire for good times, heading to southampton and then comes reading festival and chris camp to top off the summer, awesome

Warrior Dance Festival ... YEEEAAAAHHH

I went with hannah and her family, she drove us all there and it was just good times, bands banter booze and ... food, win

It was Incredible. The stage alone was something to behold, the lighting was insane, they had ambulances suspended on the stage fitted with strobes etc, they did a lazer show mid way through the set ...

I'd been raveing at the front (well second barrier as for the first you needed wristbands, they only had 9000 and we didnt know this, fuck our lives) for pendulum's and enter shikari's set (to which for "I'm sorry your not a winner" i was in the human pyramid, win) so was battered up as it was, theres three rows of people on the barrier then behind these was just mosh pits, there was about 4 or 5 pits side by side behid the three rows that stretched along the whole right hand side of the second barrier, you couldnt go forward into those three rows without being crushed and if you went side to side you'd just fall straight into another pit, you just had to roll with it or get back ha but caught the first 4 songs off the barrier for the prodigy, in the mosh pit, as standard but then headed out this time around so saw everything and didnt get crushed or distracted, i've never danced so hard with complete strangers in my life!
