we thought we were the first ones, as everybody does.

hello blogger, long time no speak.

it's been a fairly eventful and busy summer for me so far. consisting of the following;

Tramlines, Filey, driving lessons, job hunting, Inception, job interview, town, work, starting my new job, sleeping in, house parties, 1200 watt speakers in a bungalow, Toy Story 3 and work once more.

tomorrow is my second day at my new job, got to finish my old one first. i'll be glad to never have to wash an old woman's hair ever again.

the weather has been disappointing so far, but i still got burnt at Filey. i've also done no reading for English or Sociology and i've not given my Film Studies research project a thought nor have i written more of my screen play.

maybe next week. probably the week after. most definitely in the final week.

there's a 99% chance that i'll do something of worth to my education on the last day of the summer.

older does not always mean wiser

yo.

work today was draining. this heat is just silly today, thick heavy air with no breeze. yuck. stuck inside a small building with a constant circulation of hot air and sticky hair products. was glad to be out at lunch time. got no work next Saturday cos my boss is on holiday, so it means i get to rest after my trip to Birmingham.

booked another Saturday off towards the end of the month, cos there's a slight possibility i'll be in Manchester. :D don't know how i'm going to afford all this, just realised i've got a few family birthdays coming up. then Father's Day is this month at some point. hmm.

yesterday i hung out at my cousin's house with her and her kids. they're the cutest little things. its amazing watching them grow up, but sorta sad at the same time. i love talking to my cousin about music, she was telling me about her festival experiences and when she saw Manic Street Preachers at Shepherds Bush Empire. her kids are so lucky to have her. her eldest, who is 4 likes Kasabian! and my cousin announced that she loves Crying Lightning which was cool to hear.

i've been writing here quite a lot, doubt anyone is really reading though. sorry for boring you.

here's some photos that i've re blogged or posted on Tumblr recently. :)

every fire is a lesson learned

afternoon blogger. s'been a while.

its quite long :S and the order isn't really that great, i've just tried to fit the songs together from memory of how they end etc. tried to put it in some vague order, start with heavy, fast paced-ish guitar music, then into more dance, fun music then into slower, more acoustic based songs.

there we go. Ta Ra X
