What to not to do at a music festival - Day 1

Download Car Park 

The sign was yellow and somewhat unofficial looking but it seemed like we should follow it. We did. We ended up in a field filled with cars and buses. We were directed to our space. This was about 2 miles from where we had first came in.  We got out of the car and took only the essentials seeing as it was a long walk. Beer, Tent, Clothes and Sleeping bags, in order of importance of course. After for walking for what seemed like two working weeks we made the queue to get in. We waited and then had our bags checked and a wristband handed to us. We walked into the camping site in the thursday midday sun and it was fucking brilliant.
People with dreadlocks everywhere. A man with a mohawk so tall that with it he went from 5ft6 to  8ft 2. A man in a borat mankini. T-shirts from all sorts of bands, other festivals, this festivals and the festivals years before. This was amazing. We asked where we were meant to go. Basically we were going to be in the airport for the festival. Or at least so close it would deafen us when a plane went by. We found an empty lot. Close to the toilets but not too close that it may be mistaken as a toilet. Then came the next trial. 
Putting up the tent. With unbelievable slowness and stupidity we got the tent up sat back and relaxed. Tonight was just the beginning.
Friday morning came at last and we werent sure what to expect. Unfortunately the Hollywood Undead were an awful choice to open the festival and we sat on the grass waiting for something good to happen. Nothing. The Blackout and nearly got dead silence except from when they covered Korn, Limp Bizkit and Faith No More all at once. That said they were better than the undead. Then came Staind. Fucking A. I needed some Nirvana-esque music to make everything better. The unfortunately came Billy Talent who sounded like a thousand being tortured whilst they all sing "The sound of silence" out of Key. Awful. Then came another saviour. In the shape of Killswitch Engage. Fucking moshpits everywhere and a guitarist who sounded like Gavin. Amazing. Then a long break and i began to get dehydrated. Limp Bizkit came on. What a fucking band. Seriously havent seen them? GO NOW BUY FUCKING TICKETS WHAT HAVE YOU DONE WITH YOUR LIFE!!!!!!!!! Needless to say they were good.
I went to get a drink of whatever fuck i needed hydration. and saw Gavin at the top of the hill. Great friends again. He was watching Opeth. I watched them. They are a mind-trip baby. Never even heard of them till now. They are an aquired taste but they are great. I missed most of Korn but i caught Coming Undone which was good cause i love that song.
Then came the headliners. Or at least they should fucking be. Motley Crue. Great band live. I mean if i reach that age and can make a guy who nearly always hates sex driven homophobic rock ,like motley or poison, like it then fuck i will be happy within myself.

Friday Night was great we hung around with loads of people we had never met before. A great expierience loved by all.

In the morning hours

its early morning in beautiful Keller, Texas. 7:52 at this precise moment. I've always been a morning person. It's quite sad if im completely honest. No other morning persons i know exist. So basically i sit and watch the sun rise possible jot down a few things in my over flowing notebook and then grab a shower. I believe that my becoming a morning person was parallel with my taking care of my appearance. Metrosexuality if you will. I suppose it happened when i grew my hair and realised. SHIT. Its not straight at all its wavy. Then a whole new word came in to describe it. Thick. This prompted the buying of straightening irons and around 6 million different products. I tried to be a rocker i really did i wanted long flowing locks of gorgeous hair long past my shoulders. This of course is alot harder than it looked and i gave in and had my hair cut. I dont know why im telling you all this  I've been quite the blog addict. Maybe I'll put some lyrics or poetry up next it seems fitting.


Good Morning

The Sarah Palin Theory

The Basic theory of Sarah Palin was 
"lets put a woman as our vice president because whoever wins on the other side will be the first...something and everyone wants to see that. so what about a vice president of the states whos a woman?"
okay its a decent theory its got a few flaws
then you add the fact she is a dumbass bitch with 300 year old opinions and well its a perfect little meat loaf of failure
Whats better Female president or Female Vice-president?? So the plan was fucked to begin with. Then they put a women who will be under the eyes of everyone who is stupid into that plan. Destined to fail.
Yes it is sometimes hard for some people to remember whether africa is a country or continent.
These people are called CHILDREN!!!!

Palin sucks thank god shes resigning like a pussy. At least George Bush said stupid things apoloigised and moved the fuck on with doing his job. Your pussying out?


Palin, Go to hell. Thanks America for finally not voting republican

If i listened to half the things you said half the bad things that happened to me wouldnt have happened

Rachel Armit

To look at her shes like any other teen girl. Shes beautiful, content with life, she listens to not too outrageous music, she dresses in a reveloutionary but not over the top way and loves her boyfriend.
So it would be surprise you to know she is one of the most amazing human beings ive ever met
If I listened to her life would be great for me. I Suppose its kinda great but its had its ups and downs but it would be a lot of a higher road if i listened to rachel
yes she can piss me off (not really hard to do) but she does so with good intent
Wanna know more? im following her and shes following me im sure you fine people can see that


Rachel thanks for all of it

A Friendship untold of friends of Old

Okay so i though before i spill the bile and bullshit i thought i'd give everyone a little sentimental moment about my best friend

Liam the greatest guy everyone should know

Liam was 11 and when he was 11 he met another boy a slighter taller also shaved headed boy named Cameron

Cameron was upset about his fathers leaving for America he thought it would be a good idea to cheer him.
The first thing he found was a carton of Capri Sun. It had Planet Juice on the back(god knows why) and liam turned to cameron and god knows how but he managed to make a joke out of the planet being home to "the Monkey" and he began saying he worshipped this Monkey character. I found this hilarious.
Liam and i began hanging out more often and when i first picked up a guitar he wanted to be a drummer. We created one of those bands that never really happened but we drew ourselves playing our instruments on paper. Liam changed his mind and played keyboard for a while. Then Guitar and stuck to it.
We were great friends falling in love with the movie anchorman. We were such good friends that girls would tell us "Why dont you get it over and go fuck each other?" we would laugh and high 5 calling them stupid whores and calling each other awesome. And we were you know?
We would ask each other "What would Guns N Roses do?" when facing Moral decisions we were the best. And we still are

liam my best buddy

the story of my life and other fairytales

I was conceived after a trip to Blair Drummond Safari park in the car park
I was born perfectly on time 3/4s of a year later in St.Johns Hospital just up the road from where i live

Then nothing really happened

when i was 6 or 7 i joined a drama and music group and loved it but has i grew older it just felt like a drag and i quit
shortly after my parents split up. I learnt to live with it as my father slept on the couch and still lived with me
Then he moved out and i suppose i realised my parents werent in love anymore
he moved to a small town up the road and my friday nights consisted of eating chinese food and watching Comedy shows
Then my dad decided that America was the place for him. He left for Chicago but stayed in touch
I spiralled downward my Dad has always been my rock and my advice giver and he was on the other side of the world now
Then i met Liam
Liam and i were only 10 at the time but he was hilarious. I almost forgot my Dad.

and then nothing really happened again

I was 12 and i was given my first guitar by my uncle. He had become somewhat like a father figure in my life and since he played guitar I wanted to
I started playing some basic chords and writing lyrics to what was always the progression G,C+9 and D, and singing alot
i soon realised that bass was probably more my calling. And i started learning the instrument and the beautiful noises it made
Liam and I recently attended download although that is another post

im 15 5ft 10 154lbs and i fucking Love it
