Livin' in a Pigsty

I would have pics for you all to look at (of my room), but it's too hard to do right now, so maybe i will put some on when i could be bothered, and after i've tidyed this place up.

The first update for a while

Anyone want any cheese?? I grated a bit too much to put on my big mash of pasta & chunky chicken which i have just devoured for my dinner at 11.40pm. Yea.

Can anyone guess what song i'm listening to?? Go on. Yes, it's Mad World!! I have decided that listening to this song in moderation is alright, but it's still damn annoying all the same. Specially when it becomes your morning wake-up call for almost an entire week....you know who i'm talking about ;).

Anyways, i went to see Bands Battle it Out tonight. It was good, though i rekon SRO could put on a show of quality music with their virtuosoness, and with a bit of practise. There were four bands, some pretty good, some not that great, but the sound didn't help in places. Also, they had a special guest band for the night. Two or three of their songs were good, but two things to do with them were pretty annoying:

Number 1 applies to ALL bands (and of course is only my opinion). "Where is the Love" is not a good song to cover and punk up. It a stupid, annoying song in the first place, and it is still just as annoying with a guitar palm muting the chords instead. I rekon in the last while i've heard 3 bands pull this song off, and it's tripe. One of the other bands there pulled off a pretty good version of "Love in an Elevator" by Aerosmith. Even though this wasn't as tight or accurate as "Where is the Love" was, it was 1000 times better, because that Aerosmith song is a truly great song. So if i'm ever a judge in some band contest, don't play a cover of that Black Eyed Peas song, or i'll have your bass amp blown up and your drum kit confiscated for my personal use.

Number 2 wasn't that annoying, but it's to do with their drummer. I'd call him RoboDrummer. From the name you'd probably guess that he played the drums like a robot, as he used his two arms as if he had no pivots in them to hit those drums. Note that i don't care if he plays the drums like this, that's personal choice, but it was because he started skipping out bits in the rhythm to rest his tired arms. If he didn't play like a robot, his arms would be lovely and muscular and he would be able to play til the cows come home. Even so, RoboDrummer is a pretty cool name, so he is actually got the makings of a legend.



Stevie P needs a technician to play about with his super-fast broadband. Did anyone notice his super-slow transfer speed??

About to....

So, i was about to blog and i've forgotten what i was going to write about. I'll kick myself tomorrow when i remember, then post it here.

Limerick hasn't changed much since we descended on it in July, although i wasn't out and about that much. The weird thing was that the place seemed pretty familiar, like i'd been there more than once. The pool was as good as ever, and i spent a bit of time watching some basketball games from the 300m running track balcony in that biggest sports hall in Ireland. An interesting thing in our hotel swimming pool was the plunge pool, a pool of freezing cold water made for when you come out of the sauna or whatever. We used it to see how close we could get to actually freezing by staying in it for as long as possible, which was fun if not sore, but anyways.

Writing all that still hasn't made me remembered. Is there any way to put music on blogs??

Thin Lizzy are Irish legends :P

Tickets

Well, that was weird. It's 8.25am, and all internet sites have sold out U2 within the first 15 minutes. That's like 83 tickets per second. I'm off on my travels to Virgin now, to see if i can get!

30th Feb

I've just amused myself for the last half hour by acting stupid to one of my friends, along with the help of another. My screen name was "The Darkness - Belfast 30th Feb!!" which if you haven't realised by now, that day doesn't exist. Honestly. Anyways, i pretended that they were coming then, and he had caught on immediately that 30th Feb didn't exist. But i kept on pretending that i really thought The Darkness were coming then, to the point where he believed that i actually believed that they were coming on a day that didn't exist. It was pretty funny from my point of view, as he was annoying himself with his own disbelief at how i was being so stupid. By the time he'd gone offline, he knew i was messing about, but as far as i was concerned the 30th still existed.

Here is basically how i was for the whole half hour, if you're interested. I've taken out his name because i'm being nice and would want to annoy him ;).
