Back with another one of those Blog Rockin Beats :D

That up there is a lyric from the chemical brothers :) its actually block rockin beats, but it sorta fitted. And also it suits my current taste in music-any good dance music (prodigy, fatboy slim, basement jaxx, chemical brothers etc). Its all really upbeat and it makes me jump about like a madman on steroids. Saying that, it wont stop me getting out a bit of my 'indie' music (luvin the hoosiers and stereophonics atm) or maybe even some SALSA (hehe jazz :P).

ANYWHO im here to write about my weekend. It was rather good actually. Let me display it as a timetable.

FRIDAY:

I did whatever lessons i had. and had guitar lesson, good as usual. Then i came home and did my hwk, knowing i would be busy ALL weekend. i think i watched hustle as well. not a very eventful day, more just preparation for the weekend.

SATURDAY:

I got up late, about nine. ate some croissants for the first time in months and remembered why i dont like them. filled a hole tho. i made sure i had everything i needed and at about quarter past ten departed for the flagpole to meet the rest of the rowers. we jumped in the car and i managed to call the front seat, meaning i didnt have to try and squeeze all 6ft 2 of me into the back of the silly people carrier that the school seems to have bought for no reason whatsoever. We sat there for AGES on the way to hampton. i sat and chatted to doug about all sorts of stuff-dougs a bit of a legend really, and a wicked coach :)

We arrived and it was cold, but we had our new hoodys so we were ok. it wasnt long till we were racing. 3km warmup then 3km race with a headwind. GOD it was hard work, but it felt the fastest we had rowed, and we were confident of a good time.

We went to the molesley boathouse for the results later on, after shouting for the j16 boats. We didnt think we were going to win, because borlase and westminster both looked good on the water, and borlase had beaten us in wallingford. Then there was the wildcard of bedford school-yes they havnt done much rowing but they were bound to be fast, they always are.

The man seemed to read out every other result before he came to ours. EVENTUALLY he reached J15 eights. Second place was westminster-they had looked fast but todd thought we'd gained on them. Surely borlase or bedford would win? The man started to anounce it.

'B-' that could be any of us?

'Bedford-' surely its not us?

'Bedford Modern School.'

Seriously, you shouldve heard us cheer. I mean, that was a seriously good win for us, and its put us in contention for nat schools medals? PLEASE :D

ANYWAY enough of my rowing talks.

SUNDAY:

I have been looking forward to today ALL WEEK. But first we have a game of rugby to win. 

had to go all the way to beaconsfield, just for the sake of winning a rugby match. 

and yes we definitely won. 

i think it was about 57-5? 

piss easy :P 

got smacked in the face tho and it HURT.

that could have been the highlight of my day if it wasnt for the small matter of jasmine coming round. this was an important one because it was the last chance for her to come round till after half term :( 

i was seriously hoping for a good day, and i wasnt disappointed :)

We watched a MOOOOOOOOVVVVIIIIEEEEE which was well good-pursuit of happyness, if you havnt seen it, watch it-its amazing. And YES greg (and others) i did actually see all of the movie (well NEARLY all of it ;).

Then we had dinner. with my parents. who are the most embarassing people in the world. It couldve gone horribly wrong, but SOMEHOW it all went fine :)

also i taught jasmine to salsa :P

amongst other things.

And THANK THE LORD she liked her present :) PHEW.

It was a seriously good day.

And a seriously good weekend.

And i found a new song to listen to:

Newton Faulkner-foundations (off live lounge 3)

'my fingertips are moulding into the shape of a crustacean, and i try to play with lego but i can't.'

Isn't that just BRILLIANT?
