		<description><![CDATA[<p>i know i haven't written in ages, and to be fair a decent amount of stuff has happened. but my life is a bit like my computer at the moment. so much progress will be made, but then for no apparent reason everything will stop.</p>
<p>i might be paranoid and impatient (which is probably the more likely explination) but i just feel like i've blown things.</p>
<p>anyway.<br />
here's a playlist that i've just come up with. if i could, i'd post the songs up, but i can't/don't know how, so you'll have to get them yourselves.</p>
<p>01. Great DJ - The Ting Tings<br />
02. Hummer - Foals<br />
03. Kids - MGMT<br />
04. Young Love - Mystery Jets<br />
05. Fascination - Alphabeat<br />
06. Turn Tail - The Young Knives<br />
07. Walcott - Vampire Weekend<br />
08. Another Number (feat. Ricky Wilson) - The Cribs<br />
09. Let Me Beat Your Eardrum (Live) - Cage The Elephant<br />
10. The Beginning Of The Twist - The Futureheads</p>
<p>i reckon that's alright. i don't know if cassius would be better than hummer though. or something else like two steps twice.

		<description><![CDATA[<p>And the good feelings and the correct grammar has stretched over to today.</p>
<p>Can I recommend to anyone who hasn't heard MGMT that they buy, download or steal a copy of Oracular Spectacular - it's a dramatic, refreshing new album from a relatively unknown group. I had only known "Time To Pretend", but there are some great tracks like "Time To Pretend", "Electric Feel", "Kids", "Pieces Of What", "Of Moons, Birds & Monsters" and "Future Reflections". I think "Kids" is probably my favourite, but all of the tracks work really well together.</p>
<p>It's quite surprising, because if you just base your assumptions on "Time To Pretend", then you'd think that they're just another electro band, but that's where you're wrong. They're like a modern day, revamped Pink Floyd. But better.</p>
<p>But that's just one man's opinion.

		<description><![CDATA[<p>In contrast to my last blog, today was really good. The bagpack was alright, except for the ones who said that they didn't need help and made you feel awkward instead. But yeah. Apart from that, it was good.</p>
<p>And then this afternoon. I didn't really care about the Scotland or the Ireland games. The only game I cared about was the Wales game, and what a game it was. I'm too tired at the moment, but in brief it was great.</p>
<p>And then the whole day can be summerised by a few words: elbow shaking, good views, "Creme Egg" McFlurrys and Grandslam. that was what today was all about. Fantastic.

		<description><![CDATA[<p>time to go back to acoustic music. you can not have a better guitar than the acoustic guitar - it's the foundation of guitar-based music.</p>
<p>today was absoloute shite. lunch time was a waste of time and then the afternoon lessons, more english than ffiseg, were incredibly boring.</p>
<p>anyway. here's my first ever journal entry from my lastfm account, posted back in the hazy days of the summer of 2006:</p>
<p>"Arcade Fire are fantastic. I'm starting to regret not listening to their album that much, but it still is a cracker. The best songs for me are Power Out, Wake Up and Rebellion. I saw them do Wake Up live, and it was great. They've got such a unique style, and they're not really a big mainstream band.</p>
<p>If anyone out there hasn't listened to Funeral, then you do yourself a dis-service. Go people. Enjoy."</p>
<p>can't say fairer than that.

		<description><![CDATA[<p>dear oh dear. have you ever listened to a song and you think "my life could be defined by it"? maybe not, but i think these days every song i listen to could be playing in the background, or so i'd like.</p>
<p>and now i'm listening to another one. it's a bit annoying, cause when it happens, i'm normally writing up on this, and because i like the songs so much, i can never concentrate so i don't know what to write about. but i feel like i should write something.</p>
<p>i'm in quite a huggy mood at the moment. i don't know why, cause i never used to be, but i just like hugging people. i guess it's just something nice - like if you're feeling down, just have a hug, and you feel comforted or safe. either way, it's something everyone should enjoy.</p>
<p>i love it when you can hear the lyrics of an acoustic song properly. i don't know why (i don't know that much this evening), and i know it's something simple, but it's nice to hear and partially understand what you're listening to. shame you can't sing with a keyboard.</p>
<p>i miss being in glan llyn. i didn't think the holiday on a whole was that great, but the area itself is stunning. the lake, and then the fields and the farms and whatnot. i really enjoyed the walk we did around the lanes and up through the fields when we were there. </p>
<p>this is quite good considering that i'm listening to one of my favourite songs (Say Hello Wave Goodbye - David Gray). and everytime i yawn, i remember a school holiday i went on. the london trips, both the english one and the hanes one, were good for different reasons. the english one was good because it was interesting being at the globe theatre, and then the hanes one was good because i got to spend time with someone, even though nothing became of it.</p>
<p>anyway, enough about that. i've just had another good flashback. i think it was after the ospreys game, maybe, and we had just come out of the arms park, and we were running down to the train station from westgate street, when me, jack and rory crossed over before huw and dale could, and we ran off with the ball, kicking it at busses and over signs. those are the times that i'll remember. fantastic.</p>
<p>bring out the mclachlan. and then there was america with the walks to times square. to be fair to the school, they set up some blinding trips. the skiing holiday was probably the best. it had its ups and downs, but the ups were way greater than the downs. myn, i loved that place - the people were great, the food was lush, everything about the place was spot on. maybe i should call it quits there for tonight. see what the next song is...</p>
<p>a guillemots one. worth staying up for? of course. bugger. i just had - BEER! that's the one. i almost forgot what i was going to talk about. so yeah. Beer. that was good. the weather was good, even when it rained. cannot fault the place. myn. that place was my summer. even though we were only there for two weeks, and i was peeling like nothing you've ever seen before, it was probably the best family holiday in ages. the best bits were when we were on the beach when the sun went down and when we were in the pub, playing our own darts game and watching rugby whilst drinking stella. and who would forget the indian? talking of indian, that reminds me of the italian restaurant we went to in berlin. osteria no.1 - the highlight of the trip. the food was great, and we met miss james' german sister, merna, who was lovely. she was stunning as well. yeah, if you ever want to get a german girl to laugh, just talk about spezis and schwip-schwops. guaranteed results.</p>
<p>ah, a titan of a song now - Speeding Cars by Imogen Heap. i was unsure about it to start off with because it's got a high chorus, but the intro and the verses are great. there. made it to the big 1-2. now i am going to go to bed because i need what little sleep i'm leaving myself with. night.

		<description><![CDATA[<p>i love Such Great Heights by Iron & Wine. the quality of the recording is shite, but that adds to the song.</p>
<p>it has been a busy and stressful few weeks recently. and it's not going to stop until a long time into the future.</p>
<p>today i found the song off skins by crystal castles - alice practice. it's immense. a bit screwy, but still - what a tune.</p>
<p>i'm feeling a bit lost at the moment in terms of what to write now. i'll just post another one of anya and mine's conversations cause we had another interesting one earlier:</p>
<p>Anyarr says:<br />
owww jesus head banging and flailing has never looked so attractive D:<br />
Anyarr says:<br />
I DESPISEEE HIM<br />
Anyarr says:<br />
jossjossjossjossjossss<br />
siôn says:<br />
do you still like him?<br />
Anyarr says:<br />
noo well idk i never stopped, then i completely forgot about him kinda... but then when i see his videos i still go all weird but i spose that can only be expected because i liked him so much<br />
Anyarr says:<br />
he's a cock though<br />
siôn says:<br />
see, this is what i think is so rubbish about relationships at our age<br />
siôn says:<br />
and i don't mean this in a cruel way<br />
siôn says:<br />
but you see people who are constantly professing their love for each other, and then after they've broken up, it's like that never happened<br />
siôn says:<br />
and that could be narrow minded from my point of view because unlike you and many people, i've never been in a relationship so i don't know what emotions are like there<br />
siôn says:<br />
but from the outside, it looks like it's not worth it<br />
siôn says:<br />
but then again, sometimes you just wish that you had someone<br />
siôn says:<br />
sorry, that was a bit of a downer<br />
siôn says:</p>
<p>Anyarr says:<br />
yeah, i really did LOVE steve and it was the most amazing feeling evereverever, and i had to force myself to hate his guts when we broke up or i'd be sad for pretty much ever   i think it might be like that for alot of people<br />
Anyarr says:<br />
it kind of isnt worth it really<br />
siôn says:<br />
yeah, but surely it is when you're there<br />
siôn says:<br />
like in the moment<br />
Anyarr says:<br />
it hurts sooooooooooo much but then yeah at the time its the most amazing thing<br />
Anyarr says:<br />
i just wish you knew when its going to last<br />
Anyarr says:<br />
because i tend to throw myself in the deep end<br />
siôn says:<br />
maybe not for the whole time, but for those periods when you two are together i can only imagine that it would amazing<br />
siôn says:<br />
which sounds cliche and cheesy<br />
Anyarr says:<br />
love IS cliche and cheesy<br />
siôn says:<br />
why, do you over commit yourself or something?<br />
Anyarr says:<br />
i think so yeah =/ but when the guy is doing the same it feels right haha<br />
Anyarr says:<br />
i definately commited too much with stevo,so this time i'mholding myself back a bit<br />
Anyarr says:<br />
so joss loves me more than i love him which is good<br />
Anyarr says:<br />
it'll balance out when im ready<br />
siôn says:<br />
but surely with joss atm it's a case of you love him more than he knows<br />
siôn says:<br />
whether that's more than he loves you, i don't know<br />
siôn says:<br />
but the fact you're holding back doesn't mean that the love or feelings you have for him are reduced?<br />
Anyarr says:<br />
yeah actually... i think i love him more than i know too, i try not to think about it too much because im terrified of being hurt again cause it sucked somuch<br />
siôn says:<br />
this is where i get lost lol cause i don't understand how you can love someone too much<br />
siôn says:<br />
not in like an arrogant way, but i don't get it<br />
Anyarr says:<br />
when you find someone that thinks the same way as you do and wants the same things you do, and just sees things in the same way then yeah.. its really hard not to love them more than you thought you could ever love anybody<br />
Anyarr says:<br />
it sounds so funny haha<br />
siôn says:<br />
but doesn't that go against "opposites attract"?<br />
Anyarr says:<br />
yeah but its deeper than that<br />
siôn says:<br />
cause by going for someone who likes the same things as you, wants the same things as you and sees things in the same way, aren't you just going for someone who is almost a copy of you?<br />
Anyarr says:<br />
no because im not talking hobbies and shit, i mean like ~soul mate~ kind of things but not quite<br />
siôn says:<br />
if i wanted to be a psychologist i could say something like "by going for someone like that, where you only see the surface, what you can see is so similair to what you like about yourself that that's what you want because by only being on the surface that is similair to you, you escape the emotional problems that lie deep within"<br />
siôn says:<br />
yeah, but again, if someone is so similair to you, then why would you want that? i'm not saying it's wrong, but surely you'd want something a bit different - although i guess it would heavily depend on what type of person you are<br />
Anyarr says:<br />
well... ok for example: me and joss are polar opposites to a certain degree, he's not creative, he loves cooking and sports and he's so normal and just lovely and funny, but then theres so much more too him and theres so much more to me than most people will ever see, so when someone is able to see that because they're on the same wave length as you, then it makes you absolutely adore every bone i<br />
Anyarr says:<br />
n their body<br />
siôn says:<br />
see, that puts things in a completely different picture<br />
siôn says:<br />
because before you were saying how there was so much that is similair about you two, and now you've said that there are things which are very different about you two<br />
siôn says:<br />
which could mean that you will have an interesting relationship<br />
siôn says:<br />
i like conversations like these<br />
Anyarr says:<br />
so do i   typing things out from in my head makes them make more sense

		<description><![CDATA[<p>„Wo in Deutschland (oder einem anderen deutschsprachigenland) würden Sie gern wohnen und warum?“</p>
<p>Höffentlich, würde ich in Berlin wohnen and arbeiten weil Meiner Meinung nach es eine interessante und wechselnde Stadt ist. Für mich, ist es sehr interessant weil die Bürger hartnäckig sind und auch man kann die Narben von Zeit sehen. Auch, es ist klar, dass Berlin praktisch für Leute wer wollen arbeiten ist weil es vieles neues Gebäude und Dienste gibt. Persönlich, (career)

		<description><![CDATA[<p>dear, dear - i am very tired.</p>
<p>today, i felt liberated because i made my first internet purchase with my new card. i ordered Does It Offend You, Yeah?'s new album, and i got a free 4-track digital EP to go with it.</p>
<p>as well as that, i bought the latest NME, which came with a free compilation album - it was so good, i sent an e-mail to NME congratulating them. track 12 is the highlight of the whole thing. it's The Wombats covering Bleeding Love, and i think it has already cemented itself as one of my favourite tracks of all time.</p>
<p>and after discovering that there is now an XFM for where i live, i've heard MGMT's Time To Pretend so many times, it's beginning to grow on me. even the annoying synth bit at the start is catchy. so i have to love you and leave you because i need sleep. but don't let that stop you from enjoying the surreal oddity that is MGMT's video for Time To Pretend...</p>

<p>Wenn ich... hatte<br />

<p>Berlin --> BYW yna</p>
<p>Waldorfschule<br />
Steiner Schule</p>
<p>PRIF PWYNTIAU Y TRAETHAWD<br />
* Beth i wneud yna<br />
* Beth sydd yna o ran ysgolion<br />
* Dahlem Dorf – llefydd fel yna<br />
* Beth sydd yna i fwyta<br />
* Beth sydd yna o ran swyddi</p>
<p>Nodiadau ar “Waldorfschule” a “Steiner Schule”</p>
<p>• System addysg sy’n dibynnu mwy ar ddychymyg y plentyn yn lle systemau addysg mwy traddodiadol ac academaidd.<br />
• Maent yn cynnwys gwaith sy’n fwy cysylltiedig ag elfennau celfydd, ymarferol a deallusol.<br />
• Mae’r system wedi cael ei adeiladu i addasu i unrhyw problemau neu sefyllfaoedd sydd gan ddisgyblion h.y. os oes problem yn codi, gall y disgyblion newid y strwythr er mwyn iddynt gallu delio’n well efo’r sefyllfa/problem.<br />
• Mae llawer mwy o ryddid gan yr athrawon i ddiffinio’r cwricwlwm o fewn strwythyrau addysg fel y gwelwn mewn colegau a.y.y.b.<br />
• Mae’r system yn fwy gysylltiedig â phatrymau bywyd dyddiol – prif pwrpas y system yw i adael i unigolion tyfu mewn i unigolion rhydd a moesol.<br />
• Er fod cwricwlwm wedi cael ei cytuno arno gan y rhan fwyaf o ysgolion “Waldorf” a “Steiner”, mae gan pob un yr hawl i ddethol a dewis beth sydd ar ei cwricwlwm, sy’n atgyfnerthu’r rhyddid sy’n perthyn i’r system.<br />
• Mae ganddyn nhw pynciau sy’n bodoli i systemau nhw yn unig e.e. y therapi symudol sy’n cyfuno â celf - “eurythmy” .<br />
• Mae’r system sy’n bodoli yn yr ysgolion yn caniatai i’r ysgolion rheoli eu hunain felly mae mwy o ryddid gan athrawon; nid oes un prifathro penodol yn rheoli’r ysgol, ond yn lle mae yna grwpiau o athrawon sy’n penderfynu beth dylsen nhw fod yn dysgu, a grwpiau o ymddireiedolwyr (trustees) sy’n delio efo materion trefn rheoli.<br />
• Yn ogystal â rhoi rhyddid wrth ddysgu i’r plant, mae’r ysgolion yn cynnig dosbarthiadau i’r rhieni, ac o ganlyniad i hyn mae’r ysgolion wedi creu llawer o gymunedau rhynglwadol addysg ar gyfer oedolion llwyddiannus.<br />
• Prif rheswm Rudolf Steiner dros creu’r ysgolion oedd i greu system addysg a oedd yn gallu cyfateb â gofynion cymdeithasol yn ogystal â gallu cyfateb efo’r gofynion o ddatblygiad plant.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[<p>two in one day. there's a rare sight.</p>
<p>instead of writing out a "make it up as you go along" blog, i'm going to copy and paste what i was just telling anya about how i like to be away from home (it may seem a bit naive):</p>
<p>anyaaarrr                                       ♥ doe eyed boy says:<br />
i like things small safe lovely sweet and happy<br />
siôn says:<br />
don't you ever feel like that holds you back?<br />
anyaaarrr                                       ♥ doe eyed boy says:<br />
no not really<br />
anyaaarrr                                       ♥ doe eyed boy says:<br />
i know it sounds like.. close minded<br />
anyaaarrr                                       ♥ doe eyed boy says:<br />
but im not really<br />
anyaaarrr                                       ♥ doe eyed boy says:<br />
i just dont want to be all ~adventurous~ really, it does nothing for me particularly<br />
siôn says:<br />
i don't see going to different places as being adventurous<br />
siôn says:<br />
to me, adventurous is going somewhere else and trying to intergrate with the people or community or whatever<br />
siôn says:<br />
like a complete shift of environment<br />
anyaaarrr                                       ♥ doe eyed boy says:<br />
well going off repeatedly is adventurous, as in not really having the constant security of home life if you get what i mean??<br />
siôn says:<br />
i suppose<br />
siôn says:<br />
but some people, in a strange way, would feel more at home by being away from any problems they have<br />
siôn says:<br />
like if you live normally in an environment where you feel stressed out or whatever, sometimes being away would make you feel better because you're no longer in that areasiôn says:<br />
i don't know<br />
siôn says:<br />
it all boils down to personal preferenceanyaaarrr                                       ♥ doe eyed boy says:<br />
yeah<br />
anyaaarrr                                       ♥ doe eyed boy says:<br />
do you feel stressed at home?<br />
siôn says:<br />
not so much stressed, more un-familiar<br />
siôn says:<br />
like, when i was growing up, i had a really sheltered childhood, but now, i can see how my parents hurt each other when they argue, i can see how things affect everyone's morale when something goes wrong financially, so that's why i like being away from home<br />
siôn says:<br />
not that those things happen often, but they've happened enough times to make me realise that everything's not as you would like it to be<br />
siôn says:<br />
which might sound naive, but it's just how i feel

		<description><![CDATA[<p>wow. this is blog #14, and it's on the 14th of february. how strange.</p>
<p>happy valentine's day to all who see this. everyone else can have a reasonably average day.</p>
<p>only yesterday did i come back from berlin, and yet it feels like it was ages ago. although i'm not entirely sure as to whether i liked the place or not, i miss it. or i miss being away from home. and i miss that sodding pillow which was shite, but i became accustomed to. man, i am tired - probably some form of jet lag.</p>
<p>berlin, as a city, was a very strange place to be only because you can see the conflict between what it was and what it is trying to become. you can walk down a street and see a brand new car shop, but next door will be some office block built in the 50s with mouldy curtains. i also got the feeling that it's trying to be something it's not; trying to compete with the other capitals of europe. i don't say this regarding to the people. although there are some really odd people there, they are to be admired because despite the troubles they have encountered, they seem to be able to continue on with their lives despite living in a place where the unemployment is as bad as when hitler came to power and despite living in a place where their government are furiously spending money that they don't have.</p>
<p>i think berlin is also a very hard place to take in. there are many aspects to enjoy, like potsdamer platz and the like, but only 10 or 20 years earlier, where the massive complex stands today was a barren death strip seperating the east from the west. and like my sister said, it's a city that contradicts itself. like the jewish memorial, which i thought was fantastic. you see the numerous lines of black marble blocks that form the memorial to represent the fear of living in berlin and germany back in the 40s as a jew, and then across the street you see a dunkin donughts. and the chain "kaiser's". that has reduced the title of ruler of germany to some obscure supermarket chain.  </p>
<p>(if you don't like graphic imagery, then skip the next paragraph.)</p>
<p>and then there was sachsenhaus. possibly the most disturbing experience of my life, but well worth visiting. this may sound wrong, but it wasn't particualrily the ways in which the nazis tortured and murdered the prisoners, as sick as those ways were, but it was more the complete lack of reason and nonexistence of sense shared by every nazi soldier, guard or person of any position there. like the babies. our tour guide, who was really good, said how if there twin babies with say a brown coloured eye and and a blue coloured eye in the camp, the so called "doctors" would take them away, kill them and then cut the babies in half to examine the differences between the half of the body with the inferior brown eye and the arian half of the body with the blue eye. and they also used to conduct experiments like cutting people's arms off to see how long it would take them to die or lying to people by saying they'd be given freedom if they jumped out and tested the parachutes at 1, 000 feet, but they'd take them to 10, 000 feet instead and make them jump from there - this would lead to the people to explode under the air pressure, so the remains of the dead bodies would be the real test dummies for the parachutes. some of the other techniques they came up with for killing the prisoners were disturbing simply because they seemed to be made by someone who would enjoy aiming sunlight at an anthill through a lens. it really was an experience that you could not enjoy, but everyone should visit a concentration camp. it really makes you realise that these things did happen.</p>
<p>(graphic bit over)<br />
another sad thing about sachsenhaus was the old czeck man who goes there everyday to talk to the tourists about his own and the other prisoner's experiences because he feels it is his duty as a survivor to let people know and because he feels like unless he tells the stories, no-one else will.</p>
<p>it was very interesting to have the tour guide we did, because he was german and his grandfather was someone who was connected to the camp, so you might expect him to feel guilty for what happened, but he said when asked if he feels guilty about what happened, he says no, not guilty, but instead he feels that it is partly his responsibility to make sure that nothing like this ever happens again. that was re-assuring to hear.</p>
<p>the trip to berlin was a strange experience on many levels, but given the chance, i would have no hesitation to go again.</p>
<p>and so, on valnetine's morning, i leave you to try and sleep. night.

		<description><![CDATA[<p>a quick note to myself.</p>
<p>when in berlin, buy the Tomte CD that had the orange cover. if not, then download Eine Sonnige Nacht.</p>
<p>also, listen to last.fm radio more often.

		<description><![CDATA[<p>tell you what, french chocolate is weird. it's like chilli chocolate without the chillis. to know what i'm on about, you need to have tried chilli chocolate.</p>
<p>today. a strange day. i woke up and spent 3 hours in what i'd slept in last night before changing my bed and putting up the six nations wallchart. then i finished off a whole bar of the french chocolate (a feat which will be repeated very soon). and then it was time - the six nations had began. the anthems of ireland echoed around croke park, and always i had that speechless feeling when i hear ireland's call. but that was as good as it got. geordan murphy demonstrated time and time again today how to butcher opportunities to score tries. i hope for ireland's sake jerry flannery's ban is lifted, cause simon best was off form today. bernard jackman did alright, but to be honest, he didn't have much to work with. trimble's off-load to girvan dempsey was sheer class. as was vainikolo's to flood at twickers. i was ashamed after the first half. considering we have shaun edwards, one of the greatest defence coaches in rugby today, the defence in the first half was shite. and it didn't really improve in the second half. we were just lucky that most of the england team went off injured and the rest had what i can only imagine to be a nervous breakdown. except for haskell. to be fair, he was outstanding today. he's a tank, and i fear teams like england and scotland because they have forwards like haskell: big and brutal players - and they know it. we, however, are gifted with lazy forwards that prefer to think they're backs.</p>
<p>maybe that's a bit harsh. ok, i'll admit, the last 10 - 20 minutes of the match was impressive, but today's game was won by the backs. i thought lee byrne had a really good game, and i would've thought that he deserved man of the match more than hook. and phillips had a great 20 minutes at the end. i was shouting at the tv after he charged down gomarsall for the second time. and then i thought he'd fucked it up after he missed the hack-on. but, i was wrong lol. so, yeah. all in all a good day for the celtic nations. better for us than the irish, but still - a win's a win. and we're top of the table. and the best part is england are at the bottom - beneath italy. woop!</p>
<p>i need to go to VO next time i'm in paris. my parents got me an animal top when they were there from wednesday to friday, and it's one of the coolest bags i've ever seen. it's got a kid pegged on a clothes line, a buddha and some barechested ladies. what more could you want, lol?

<p>a rare treat for you people: a picture of my new guitar.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[<p>long time no speak.</p>
<p>i love the french language. it's free-flowing, great to have little conversations in, and fun to insult each other with. but i hate my french teacher - with a vengeance. she's a kind-of good teacher, but she is, well, a crap teacher. she has the mother of all mood swings and she seperates the sylfaenol people from the rest of us, as if there's something wrong with them.</p>
<p>i might have a go on cool boarders 3 in a bit. lol, what a game. one of my favourites. i really want to learn to snowboard. it would be very cool, cause to be honest, how many people can honestly say they snowboard? no-one i know can snowboard. so yeah. snowboarding. one day.</p>
<p>on saturday, i had my first practice with the new band. the problem is that the guy that thinks he sings for us. the long and the short of is that we don't want him to sing for us because he has a history of fucking up. but we don't really want to chuck him out over nothing, cause that would be unjustified and rude. so we need to do that at some point. and we need to name the band... but going back to the practice, it was quite good, and even though we only really managed to work on one song due to time restrictions, it was productive and fast. and i had a chip bap, which always helps. we just had to spend ages working on what would be our verse, and after several attempts, i think we've got a verse. i could be wrong, mind you.</p>
<p>and i'm now a 16 year old, which isn't as good as it used to be, but still, it beats 15. and i've got a big hole in my fence lol.</p>
<p>i need to go shower.

		<description><![CDATA[<p>things are gradually getting worse for me. schoolwise, i'm fine; up to speed on everything. but i don't have a clue as to what's going on in my personal life. it's all a fucking mess. it's like i'm stood there, watching everything fuck up around me, and i know it's happening, but i don't know what to do. and girls aren't worth the effort. 100% effort = 0% response. takes the piss.</p>
<p>i sound like a bitter and twisted old man. surprising, cause i'm only in my teens.</p>
<p>i really can't be bothered with talking to girls though. or the girls i like anyway. i need to lighten up.</p>
<p>and mark ronson is showing me the way lol. mark ronson + kasabian = part-time happiness.

		<description><![CDATA[<p>here i am, rock you like a hurricane.</p>
<p>lol. damn right.</p>
<p>i need a holiday. anywhere. sharpish.</p>
<p>until 2 minutes ago, i'd forgotten how good smoke on the water is. i'm tired. i think that big rant has dried up my talking resources. i can't think of anything, except for moaning.</p>
<p>i haven't even got the get-go to moan. </p>
<p>anyway, that concludes tonight's exciting broadcast.</p>
<p>actually, no it doesn't.</p>
<p>i had a new song idea for the new band, and i'm quite happy with it. it's similair to banquet, but not as dramatic. i have a love/hate relationship with audacity. when i was recording the song idea, it picked up the first guitar really well, but when i did the second guitar, it was crap. if anyone wants to hear it, go <a href="http://www.myspace.com/sionlikesmusic">here</a>. so yeah, excuse the not so good sound quality on the second guitar.

		<description><![CDATA[<p>perhaps you're wondering how on earth could i follow up the rant below?</p>
<p>i will at some point, don't worry. but not today. no, today's post is dedicated it to Israel Kamakawiwo'Ole. i only found about him today, but from what i've seen the guy was cool. he was from the coolest place, hawaii, and he played a ukelele. what more could you ask for?</p>
<p>to be honest, i was surprised after watching like a tribute video because it showed the scattering of his ashes, and the amount of people that were out in the water as it happened was impressive. it was nice to watch: all the people out on their surfboards.</p>
<p>so, there we go. another post draws to a close.</p>
