A Pizza Hut a Pizza Hut, Kentucky Fried Chicken...

...and a Pizza Hut.

Fast Food Rockers, The Fast Food Song


To be quite honest, i just needed to think of a song about food. Because i am:
HUNGRY
STARVING
FAMISHED
DEPRIVED OF FOOD
LACKING IN NUTRIENTS
MALNOURISHED.


or in other words, i havent eaten since.... lunchtime.
and that food smells amazing.
15 minutes left...

I'll leave you with the words of John Mayer.

'I was a killer, was the best they'd ever seen,
I'd steal your heart before you ever heard a thing.
I'm an assassin and i had a job to do,
Little did i know that girl was an assassin too.'

Assassin, John Mayer.
Sounds a little lame, but listen to the song, or in fact the album. Its a real grower, but that song is so amazing.

Adios, nearly food :)

I want to be the one who...

...can dance without being drunk.

Ice Age, Good Shoes.

I'm unsure today.
I think about things, what i want to do, what i WOULD do if i was confident, what i would be able to do if i was confident.
I'm often jealous of those people who are loud and make themselves seen. they get what they want, get with who they want etc.
While i sit there, not UNCONFIDENT as such, but like... quietish. i don't make a big thing of being there, i don't make myself known. Which is why nobody really listens to me. I don't get a say. I enjoy being there, its fun, but i NEVER get to be the centre of attention.
It's nobody's fault. I'm just not the right sorta person. But it means i don't get the credit, i don't get the girls, whatever.
I open up to some people. but the people who dont quite know me, they know me but they dont KNOW ME, they dont see the real me.
If only everybody saw the ME me. not just me.

Man i make so much sense.

But for once my opening lyric fits.
I don't want to end up in a position where i have to have a drink for me to be interesting. people think that about certain people i know, and i think its not good.
I need to properly open up, let ME free. I want to be the life and soul without making any effort, or just being plain drunk. I can do it, i just dont. But i wanna change that.

I want to be the one who can dance without being drunk.

Ice Age, Good Shoes.

Mr Bojangles, come back and dance...

Sammy Davis, Jr (I think, or of course Robbie Williams...)

I love that sorta music. Swing n jazz n blues n stuff like that. Big band stuff. I wish i was around in those days, everything was so swish and fancy and smooth and sleek. Saxophones, Trumpets, maybe not so much Frank Sinatra (although we have a lot to thank him for i guess.)

It's real music. Real effort. Real talent, and also a genuine path to success. Not a telly program. I'm not having a go at the X factor.

Im just trying to say that it isnt what real music is.

Music isnt about getting famous quick, or selling THOUSANDS UPON MILLIONS OF RECORDS. It's about the love, the feeling, the truth. I'm not saying that the people on the X factor don't neccessarily love what they do, but the way it's put across on the telly, it seems as if cowell and co. don't understand what music is really about.

Where did leon jackson(?) go? Or Shane Warne? Or Michelle McManus? Or Alex Parks? Or David Sneddon? Steve somebody?

I only remember the names cos i have a memory for pointless facts, not cos they did anything exciting or important.
They hit the limelight for literally 2 seconds, then disappeared into a nothingness. That's not music.

Ok, so will young made it. but he was the first one, back when it was all a novelty. Like Big Brother, it was an interesting idea to start with.
Leona Lewis has made it as well (so far) because she has a particularly strong talent, coupled with the fact that they REALLY pushed her, and she was accepted in the US.
Kelly Clarkson. BIGGGGG news in the US. but once again, i think she was the first.

It can work occasionally. But I don't think it's the spirit of music. Music should be started in a bedroom or a garage, a group of mates having fun, doing what they want to do, not being forced, just doing it because there's nothing they would rather be doing. It shouldnt take over life, it should just be part of life. People get lucky breaks, get seen by somebody BIG like zane lowe or edith bowman or jo whiley or whoever, and gets played on the radio. If theyre lucky, they get somewhere, have a career. if theyre not so lucky, they carry on enjoying it with their friends, without the public eye. It doesnt matter to them, theyre just having fun, as it should be.

Why throw people in at the deep end? (and invariably leave them there if they arent an instant success...)

I don't know where this is going really.

Good luck to Joe McElderry, you did well. Fucking good voice. WHATEVER YOU DO DON'T LET THEM TURN YOU INTO THE NEW ZAC EFRON (cos thats what they say theyre going to do). Enjoy yourself, you seem a genuine chap. But don't be surprised if it all goes wrong, because once the next big thing comes along you could be left in the gutter, and that would be a big shame.

I want to be a musician. Maybe one day i want to be in a band. i havnt a clue if i would do well, but i would have fun trying, cos thats what music should be.
Not a moneytrain for Captain Cowell, with a generic song or album released as a brief afterthought.

I think the new poster in my room is the epitomy of music.

'And as we wind on down the road
Our shadows taller than our soul
There walks a lady we all know
Who shines white light and wants to show
How everything still turns to gold
And if you listen very hard
The truth will come to you at last
When all are one and one is all
To be a rock and not to roll .'

Stairway To Heaven, Led Zeppelin.

Try beat that then.

All the while i was dreaming of revelry...

Kings of leon.

I wasn't dreaming of revelry. im not so sure what i WAS dreaming of, but it definitely wasnt revision.

Only have to do this once.
But i have to do it once.
Let's go get it over and done with.

'Adieu.'
Enter Shikari.

I think i've grown up. take a look and see if you agree.

YOU DO IT TO YOURSELF, YOU DO, AND THAT'S WHY IT REALLY HURTS.
Just, Radiohead.

You Kick The Bucket And I'll Swing My Leg.

Yes i stole the list. But they were in alphabetical order, so whatcha gna do?

Anne Williams; YOUUUUUU are very big. I know you so much better now, I thought you were just loud and drama, but you actually make very good conversation when you're not complaining about mrs mcrudd or woteva :P

Andrew Fallow; How many times have i carried you down the corridor? :P you my friend are a legend. even if you are small and like men and arent as good as me at guitar and are an allround crap shit rubbish person. :D i make joke.

Alex Eadie; I have admiration for you. You take so much crap and just deal with it. Kudos.

Alex Hall; First school, nothing's really changed, we still have silly conversations about not much. i spose we dont play magic day anymore, but i do know that in our heart of hearts, we could go back and kill those monsters any day :D

Alex Holbrook; Curly, he is brilliant. Always there when you need him, i feel like i neglect him sometimes, and i feel really bad about that. hes odd but then so am i :P goodgoodgood mate :) thanks for all the rowing :D

Alex Young; YINGOYANGO. I don't know why i didnt really like you at first. i shouldve done, cos you are a great guy. good conversation, sense of humour, normal guy, listens to good music, listens to my rubbish thoughts, the list goes on.

Chris Lambert; I stopped him being a chav :D love chris to bits. Been best of buddies since that first day of year seven, even if he is a NERD. :D

David Ramsden; RAMMMMYYY. i think its harsh how everybody says hes cooler when he's drunk. give him a chance and hes just as cool when hes sober.

Dani Hutchinson; Danidanidanielle hutchinson. I dno. dani is always there, and while we have huge times when we just dont say much to each other, i know that any day i will come back and she will be the same great person that she was all that time ago. maybe a little shy, but i like that-makes a change from stupid attention-seeking idiots who won't shut up. good times in ullswater etc. I think i might donate my octopus, cos i think its just what you're looking for :)

Ellen McEwen; Hmm. EllenMelonMcEwen. I like you actually :) because you are nice. and funny. and you listen to people. and tolerate people. and are kind to people. and take quite a bit of shit from people sometimes, which i think is quite unfair. And as re-discovered on friday, you do good hugs :) we havent talked so much in a while, but you're always around for a laugh. So hi :P

Edward Tiddles: i'm not even gna atttempt the silly surname. Tiddles and me have a strange connection. He pisses me off in such a way that im not actually annoyed at all. does that make sense?
But yeh, how can you not love him? he's just so........ i dont even know. UNIQUE. thats a good word. world wouldnt be the same without our ed. :)

Freddie Jones; maths jokes :) and i miss him actually. doesnt seem to be there anymore :( shame.

Greg Pearson: gregory, i think he's a bit like me in some ways. i dno how to describe it, but greg is the most normal, real, genuine, understanding, proper person i know. and he's fucking funny. :D

Hannah Wallett; I don't really know you much tbh. tis a shame cos your a nice person from what i do know of you. :)

Jasmine Tredget: i dno. i just dont know. something isn't right and i dno what it is. :/

James Hutt; This boy is actually much more of a man than you would think. He is very easy to talk to, and i would probably trust him with a huge amount, cos he wouldnt let me down. he's a very good friend, much appreciated.

Mathew Anderson; Such a funny guy, real gangsta joker child, another person who takes a lot of shit and deals with it. I'm only just starting to know him properly, but even in this short time if seen a great person in him :)

Mathew Inness; Minness, one of those people i've known since year five, yet is not quite one of my friends in a group sense. but hes great, and he is a friend anyway :) funny german times and music times and junior school times :)

Ricky Jones; Used to be quiet, and i didnt get him at all. but then underneath the quiet i found a great guy. very subtly funny and interesting, and he knows a lot of stuff, if that makes sense?

im SURE there's more. i just took this list and filled in the gaps tbh :)

laters.

Used to sit and worry 'bout the future...

...But worrying about the future can't change the past.

Mr Raul Midon sang that. Never heard of anything else he sang, but that song is absolutely finger lickin' good :D

Anyway, it sorta fits. I've realised that I spent a long time trying to fit in. I don't really think I was being me, and I don't think it helped anyway. So now I'm being me, and I might be completely wrong, but i think its working. Those people who were never really MY friends, they were HER friends that I ended up talking to, those people now talk to me like I'm me, not her boyfriend or her ex or whatever. So thats nice :)

Being me has also brought me back to some of my old friends, as well as making me brand new ones. I think friday and saturday made me realise how lucky I am to have so many people who will actually listen to me, talk to me, laugh with/at me etcetcetc. I don't think I've ever had that before. Friday was a shame that we couldn't stay, would've liked to stay and chatted with some of you lovely people, seemed like it would've been a good night. But saturday, I realised what a good load of people you all are :)

I'm gonna leave the past alone. It's happened, good or bad, I'm not letting it affect what I do. I suggest everybody does the same, it clears your head so much if you just ignore what's happened and just concentrate on being yourself :)

I'm in such a good mood :)

I don't know if anyone reads this tbh. but I think I'm gna add a few blogs tonite. A quiz maybe, or a list of friends, or both, or more? I've neglected this place for a while, and if I consider that some of you keep on blogging and letting me read your thoughts, its only fair that I do the same.

So if you DO read any of this, make a comment or something, and I'll reply. You never know, you might just make my day :D

Peace Out.

I feel better now i've seen you, but deep inside my bones feel like timber, and I, am shaking from the tension, and I, will shudder at the mention....

Galaxy of the Lost- Lightspeed Champion. LEGEND.
