Hello my friends...
Posted Jan 28, 2006
Is there life on this planet? My sources suggest that no, in fact there isn't. It's a shame really, it's quite a nice planet, full of flowers and woodland walks and springtime melodies from babbling brooks...clouds are good too, and those little red berries that you get on bushes that look realy tasty but in fact would kill you in an instant...
Yes, all this is wasted on the lack of intellegent life that roams freely and wildly around the place, spitting on the floor, pulling branches off trees and generally making a nuisance of themselves...
Now, as a higher being I realise that there "humans" would not understand this if were to tell them, but it's worth a try I think.

University
Posted Nov 28, 2003
I've been here at jolly old Bangorfor about 11 weeks now, and it's almost as if I've been here my etire life. It's quite odd that in the one weekend that I have been home this term, I really missed Bangor. WEird. I'm slightly disturbed by this. However, there are plent of reasons why everyone hould love, and come to Bangor University: Dodgey Dereks (fast food for the drunk), the gorgeous views of mountains, the sea and the Menai Straight, the fact that you can wave at Angelsey every morning when you wake up, the really cute little beach, Time (you've got to love it), the people, and the fact that everyone is equally crazy, the Main Arts building (yes, there are lots of stairs and it is on top of a hill, but it's gorgeous and you know it!), and finally Emrys Evans. Hall of Residence extraordinaire. Full of asbestos, mold and other random weirdnesses, but ace all the same.

Funeral for a Friend
Posted Oct 19, 2003
I have just returned from a fantastic gig at Amser/Time in Bangor, my current residence. Funeral for a Friend were playing and quite frankly, they were a bit good. I mean it was even one of those semi fantastic gigs where the main attraction is fantasic, but the supposrt is a bit poo. Both supports (Hondo Maclean and MillionDead) were fantastic as well! I bought two eps from Hondo Maclean and got them both signed. They are a relatively unknown Welsh band, but really good! They were filling in for Movielife who werent playing becasue I believe they broke up last week or something! MillionDead were also rocking. Funeral for a Frined themselves were pure fitness in music. Such shiney pretty guitars (and a very shiney pretty lead singer!).

Leeds 2003
Posted Aug 25, 2003
Leeds rocked yet again this year, despite a differece of location and the most disterbing "non-conbustable" toilets I have ever laid eyes on!
Big thumbs up to Hell is for Heros, System of a Down, Hot Hot Heat, Biffy Clyro and 80s Matchbox B-line Disaster who were all fantastic!
Thumbs down to Good Charlotte however, who need to learn to count! Keep in time guys and maybe it will help some - its not all about image!
Biggest big thumbs up to Metallica of course. I don't really listen to them normally, but they put on the most fantastic show, flame throwers and all!

CYC Concert, Macc.
Posted Jul 5, 2003
I've just got in from one of the longest, but also one of the most interesting days of my life! I had to get up exceptionally early, after working til midnight last night, to get on a bus from Tarporley to Maccelsfield, which took about an hour. We went to the Kingscross Methodist Church to perform two concerts in one day with the Cheshire Youth Choir, the first of which was to be with the Maccelsfield Silkworms, a fantastic choir of 8-11 year olds! Unfortunatly our choir mistress, Shirley, had decided that becasue I was taking my grade 8 this term, I could do an instrumental solo. Dammit. I don't like soloing, it makes me nervous, and then I make stupid mistakes. Today was no exception, but to that later. The first concert was at 3pm, but we had to rehearse from 11.30 up until then (excluding lunch of course). Weird thing is that Shirley manages to make rehearsing fun not least becasue she's a top person, but also becasue shes completely insane, with a weird duck fixation (but to that later!)
During rehearsal I played my solo perfectly, gorgeous dynamics and all the rest of it and in the first concert, despite the odd mistake, there was nothing to noticably horrible. However, during the evening performance I just couldn't o it at all! It was just crap. I was so nervous, my palms were sweating so the keys were sliding about under my fingures. I completely lst it at the very beginning. Fortunatly I managed to keep going and pick it up alright. It's was so embarrassing! How come I can manage to sing infront of 15000 people, but I can't manage to play a simple stupid grade 8 piece infront of a hundred at best? Stupid. I really wish Stefan had been there to calm me down, I probably would have done it better then. My accompaniment to Moonlight Seranade was ace though, I kicked ass. And I absolutly flooded the place with expresion, not just poured it! And our little hat dance to "One" was great fun, though Im sure all the hats will not be returned in one piece!
At the end of the night the drew a rafel, and they asked Alex and myslef to come and draw it out becasue it was to be our last concert with the choir. We did this, then they told us to stay there, and they gave as both presents! Bless them, it was so sweet! I got a duck (hence duck fixation!), as in the Gosling song that we sing. If you press its tummy it cherps. Tres sweet. I was all over come, and people kept saying how much they were going to miss me! I'll really miss them too, especially Becky, Rose, Sarah, Simon, Daniel, Jonothan, Rosemary...everyone really! Some things about going to uni next year totally suck!
