Wake me up,when February ends.

Captains Blog Stardate 16022010, I feel slightly ashamed at what has evidently turned in to a neglected blog, i can only apologise and hope in my heart of hearts that you still love me. Note to self: Blogs are for life, not just for Christmas. Now that these feelings are out in the open, i shall set forth do what i intended to, write down stuff that merits being written down! The first thing i can think about that is note worthy is the weekend just passed, and what a good one it has been at that! Thursday was mildy lame this week but Friday made up for this with style. The De-Railed gig at the rugby club was fantastic,it was a full house and boy did we party hard. I hope i can be involved in many more events like this as it was just a quality night for all of those involved! While on the topic of band stuff, wow it is hard to promote a band these days but hey it poses a challenge and challenges are fun right! Back to the fun weekend - Saturday we hit up paintballing for Ashcrofts birthday and it was a quality day by all accounts. After a very rough start (late night and a few to many spoonfuls of medicine) my inner rambo was soon on the prowl. I love paintballing with a passion and it brings back many great memories of childhood pals and the fun we had. If i ever come into money i will buy the most monsterous paintball gun known to man and unleash pure paint related hell on all those before me. Wow i sound like Adolf Hitler, had he been a paintballing enthusiast.

Moving on from Nazi discussion i feel now is as good time as ever to discuss history. Yes history has become a reccuring topic in this blog and hey why not some of this stuff is uber interesting! Today in my Cold War module i learnt about the secret services during the cold war like the KGB and FBI etc. This is some pretty interesting stuff and only further increased my fears of the Russians. Although the KGB is now disbanded i still have my fears, they are watching us people... . Also apparently like our James Bond the Soviet Union had their own equivalent, but instead of being a womaniser he was loyal to Communism and country. Ha what a loser, and instead of using gadgets he used something lame, our lecturer tried to convince us that he was better than James Bond, I think not. A quick google search confirmed this joker as none other than Max Otto von Stirlitz, well Stirlitz my old Commrade, I'm sorry to say but James Bond owns you all day long! Another random yet interesting point about the KGB is that they killed somebody in London at a bus stop using a poisoned umbrella, well i guess the term 'Sneaky Russian' has been well earned over the years! My view of the average KGB agent is still reminiscent of Borris the Blade, God bless you Borris, the Rasputin of our age.

Festival season is now fast approaching us, and as i sit here listening to Lostprophets i am optimistic about the summer ahead. Glastonbury isn't looking anything special but hey when has it let me down yet, never that's when. If any other festival had the Glastonbury line-up so far i would be disappointed to be fair, but with something like 30 stages i know there will be more than enough to tickle my musical fancy. But unlike many other festivals, Glastonbury is not totally about the music, and when i am sitting in a treehouse sipping tea and eating cake in a field in Somerset, i couldn't be happier. Back to reality for a moment, on the other side of the festival spectrum Download has come up trumps and has produced a so far amazing line-up. Any festival that has AC/DC, Rage Against the Machine and Aerosmith headlining means business, not all to my personal taste but as legends go...wow. Have the organisers spent to much on these acts though, will the rest of the bill be affected...we shall soon find out. Now to Reading/Leeds, what an experience Reading was last year oh boy! This year i will be attending Leeds VIP style i believe, I'm sure it will be fun times, no i know it will be fun times! As far as line-ups are concerned i am feeling Blink 182 to headline somewhere i would imagine its going to be the mainstage but stranger stuff has happened. Could Green Day make an appearance for a real pop punk summer its a possability i'm sure. MCR have been thrown around as possabilities and i would check them out the big emo that i am. A few other random bands i think will be there are Paramore, Lostprophets, Subways hopefully and now i cant be bothered to write more but i think i have a good idea of a few people who will play. I'm cool like that.

Ok enough talk of Festivals and summer madness, i am really longing for summer and this is not like me, i am usally a pale Vampire like winter lover.On a quick side note i would love to be a vampire, but then the question is raised as to what kind of fantasy being would i be if i had the chance hmm....i feel this deserves its own paragraph before i conclude. But for now i will continue as before...This winter has been generally shite, the weather and everything else to go with it, it has been a winter of disappointments and bad feelings, i wont go further into it though as i don't like to broadcast private matters on the world wide web. But OK less of this negativity! Sunshine, Puppy dogs and Ice Cream. There we go all happy now. But now i believe it is time to go and write a stupid essay so not all that happy after all.

OK here is the fantasy monster/creature/being paragraph. This is a matter that cannot be taken lightly. So what would it be if i could be one of these. We must first look at the options, i am going to consider the conventional Vampire and Werewolf, there are also the outsiders such as martians, abominable snow person, Banshee, Ghost, Ghoul, Zombie, Centaur, Ogre, there is also potential to consider Wizard, Dwarf and Elf all very much LOTR inspired. I guess they all have their pro's and con's but i really do not fancy taking up the life style of a Ghost, Ghoul or Zombie, i can imagine it being cold and not a particularly friendly existence. As for a martian i imagine it could be quite a blast but constant shit from the CIA and the risk of home sickness doesn't appeal to me. The Abominable Snow personal could be mildy entertaining but the whole aspect of snow is very restricting, so for that reason I'm out. From what i can infer a Banshee is generally a singing omen of death, not to mention a woman. Now being an Omen of death could be fun but I'm sure it can be mildly depressing and very repetitive, not my idea of job satisfaction, so no to the Banshee idea. The centaur is an interesting one, they seem very deep and intellectual beings, in most cases they also seem to kick a whole lot of ass. But the fact that i would forever be half a horse, not even a whole horse, just doesn't grab me as being much fun, i mean what if i broke a leg, i would never race again and I'm sure they don't make wheelchairs for Centaurs? I don't think i would choose an ogre as however lovely I'm sure a life of solitary existence could be, i cant imagine an ogre receiving much love, and love is high on my agenda. I may be being unfair and stereotyping ogres here, i know poor Shrek went though some shit but the fact still stands, ogres will never be excepted. Its not the fact of not being excepted I'm sure i could deal with that however much it would hurt, but the fact of being hunted by mobs with pitchforks on a regular occasion could prove tedious. Dwarfs and Elves both hold appeal but i imagine Dwarfs would smell and personal hygiene is important to me. I also imagine they have a high percentage of red meat in their diet which will run riot for general health. Elves seem like they know how to party but they also like to sing a lot in the forests, a past time that i personally don't think i would take well to, its a little creepy in certain aspects. Our final shortlist therefore includes Vampires, Werewolves and wizards. Now casting aside (definite wizard pun) the gay twilight Vampires and Werewolves, i think these two offer great potential. The problem being with werewolves is that there is surely some sort annoyance if you are reliant on the full moon to cause mayhem. Also if you transform randomly there is the risk of damaging your favourite clothes, or what if you happen to be driving at the time, what would you do with your car, where would you keep the key. Its just full of potential headaches, so for that reason i will say no to the werewolf. Now the Wizard and Vampire options both look pretty good in my eyes. As a wizard the whole magical thing could prove to be a whole lot of fun, but then again if you could do anything with magic would your life become a little meaningless? I'm sure it would be great but i fear i may be taken over with a power rush to the head and end up doing something terrible. I think our winner has to be the vampire. Firstly staying up all night and sleeping all day sounds like a plan to me. Also I'm sure vampires like to party hard and i could get used to this, but not in excess that would suck (definite vampire pun). I could also seduce women then get a delicious snack straight after, what more could you want? I'm not so sure about the whole blood sucking thing but hey I'm sure it would grow on me, and I'm sure taking out people I'm not fond of vampiric style would be a blast. So there you go, any vampires out there i am ready to party hard.

OK i feel that monster post got a little to weird and in depth, ah well these things happen i guess! I think now it is time for me to bid you farewell mr blog, and i will visit again soon with more tales of greatness. Maybe another round of the random typing word scenario before i leave. OK so first words that come to my head:

Flag, phone, David Dickenson,Iron maiden, Download, Nandos, yum, turtles, jar of apricots, mouse, curtains, oliver, wolf pack, howl, come dine with me, the queen, Alexander litvinyenko, cheese, wotsits, annoying,essay, peanut butter jelly time.

That was nice, anyway, toodles.

So Mr Blog we meet again. It is once again time for me to stick my fingers down my imaginary thorat and throw up some memories onto the page. Firstly i must say ,Wow'. This week has potenitally been the quickest week of my life. I know time is constant and doesn't speed up, but oh boy does it feel like it has! It has been pretty much a week since i last wrote anything on this little puppy, it only seems like a couple of days! So from where i left off, Friday part 1 was a jovial affair as expected. A night out with the pals and i'm a happy man, the 'banter' is always first class and i feel i am a bit of a socialite whore. But hey until these social adventures bore me, let them eat cake or something along those lines.

University this week has been somewhat non-existant. I shall explain this in alls its glory, starting from the beggining. It all started on a rainy January evening.....no i jest. The breaks on my car have been slowly dying and on monday evening they were lain to rest. With emergency break treatment needed i missed uni on tuesday and had a day of leisure to myself. Now the academics and forward thinkers among you would surely say, oh well you had a day to crack on with some work and it was no big deal. But no, the procrastination King over here didnt do anything of any real worth. A common theme within this blog, 'will i ever learn', no i doubt i will. But with shiny new breaks that do indeed stop my car from travelling in a direction i dont wish for it to be travelling in, i will be commuting to university tommorow and i will indeed be learning something about something in the past. That history ay, it's just one thing after the other (history boys ftw). Also tommorow is once again that magical day nestled inbetween Wednesday and Friday, ah yes Thursday, Friday part one, good times to be had. But enough of this, the last week and points of interest along the way. Friday saw me attend rehersal with the band , i was mighty impressed and i am still greatly enjoying the whole band thing. They are very talented and hopefully will do well. The studio was also rather impressive and it is now on my list of things to own when i am a millionaire: classy music studio yes please. The weekend pretty much rolled into one with cineworld being dominant as ever. Oh i bought a venus flytrap and this definatley deserves a mention. These plants are quite special and i hope mine survives this harsh winter as i have big plans in the summer, i am going to grow a monster. Any flies that think of coming into my house: think again. I dont know why i have a love for predatory beings, maybe i am sadistic at heart i hope not. I think it is the predatory instinct and blood lust that lays within mankind,oh how deep. Although i dont like seeing animals die, flies annoy me to the extent that i really don't care for them. I swear they play games with me and dive bomb me, maybe they know of my evil plans? Maybe in the summer i will amass a collection of predatory plants, yes, yes i will. Ok enough of my botanical aspirations, other points of interest in this week. Oh wow yes, i am so proud of this next one, it is going to get its own new paragraph....

....And here it is! On monday me and my runnign partner Smudge,ran an impressive 3.1 miles. This was our third week running and monday saw our longest distance yet. I really feel i am improving and although it nearly killed me, i feel great for it. I am proud of myself and of Smudge for keeping it up, and i really do hope we continue it and i have every intention to do so. I believe that my ability to run is all in the mind, i know what i am capable of now so hopefully i shall keep improving! Maybe if i tell myself that my aim is to do 5 miles, by the time i reach 3 my brain will think i am only halfway through and that i should be at my peak, although sadly i highly doubt this. I honestly cant't see how people can manage doing the marathon, 26 miles seems unthinkable right now but i guess it's all about training and improving. I would like to run the london marathon someday, but i think i would do it in some sort of novelty suit becuase then i have a more valid reason for failure, and i'm sure more fun will be had. Maybe in a few years i will go for it, maybe dressed as a giant hotdog or something as equally as ridiculous. Until that day comes i will continue with this blog entry. Now that the epic 3.1 mile run has had its time, i think the rest of my experiences shall continue in a new paragraph.

So what else do we have left. On Tuesday my love for noodle bar was only increased, my meal of yum yum KD prawns with noodles was just amazing. I love food so much its unreal, it is one of my great passions in life. This is quite definatley the reason for my porky frame, but i guess i am beyond caring. If i had to choose between being skinny or my love for food, i would choose food without a doubt. Oh yes food food food. The noodle bar is fantastic and all this talk of it has made me want one right now, curse you noodle bar and your delicious appeal! In a talk of fine food i cannot go without mentioning Nandos, that just wouldn't be fair. So yes Noodle Bar and Nandos, culinary heaven. I would really like to expand my culinary horizons, maybe i will arange some sort of resteraunt field trip. I would like to eat at Gordan Ramseys resteraunt, maybe i will make this my goal. I would like to eat at a lot of resteraunts to be honest, i am increasingly considering food critic as my career but i fear it may catapult me to whale like proportions.

I feel the time has come that i should go to my bed, sleep and dream. A yes my dreamlife has been quite speical lately. I cannot remeber them all but one i recall involved sirius black being my uncle, who i had to pretend not to know and mock imprison.But i think sirius was actually the scary murderer from the news, and he gave me tiny cubes of marajuana how very peculiar. Marajuana also featured in another dream of mine i think last night. Me and Lewis were flying home from Amsterdam and i was going to try and smuggle a few lumps back wrapped induvidually in blueroll, but i lost my nerve and threw them in the bin. I then talked to a police officer and he reccomended i smoked it in the designated smoking area as it would ease my fear of flying. I then returned to the bin and retrieved most of it, some of which was damp. I then proceeded to walk around the terminal to ask who would roll me a spliff, i remeber some old ladies kindly refused. I then found a guy who mocked me but then did it, he was posh and used some sort of tape to make the joint. Im not obsessed with weed it was just a strange coincidence. I look forward to my dreams as they are more entertaining than anything in real non-dream life could ever be!

My eyes are feeling heavy so i think it is time for this entry to end. I think a bunch of random words that come to my head are in need now: Star Trek, Brandon Flowers, Cheese,Michael Macintyre, Barry Manilow, Cherry cheesecake,keyboard,the letter f, barnacles, hitmonchan,nandos, glastonbury, bad robots, leeroy jenkins. Wow that was fun, just clearing my mind and seeing what random words spill out, i may make this a regular thing.

Thank you past Bobby for making this all possible, thank you present Bobby for writting this, and thank you fututre Bobby for doing the things that will be the subject of fututre blogs. Ha i am a weirdo and i love it.

Goodnight Moon.
