so here it is

Mood: good shit
Listening to: all my Throwdown stuff

it's my first monday back at college, and its only like 17 mins past 7 so i've been roughly awake for an hour and i'm still just as tired

lately i have done quite a lot and by lately i mean since i last wrote in this thing properly

I have played a few gigs with november but it looks like i could be leaving as they seem to be all about the money and thats not what i'm in a band for, but i could stay and write some more metal and if they don't like it i'll have to leave

here is a list of side projects:


"loud band" -

me - death metal vocals
Neil - drums
Joe - lead
Ricky - rythm
and bassist i am unsure of right now, either ste or G

 - a cross between isis and other melodic death metal bands -
(as of yet no practise has been done)


"IRE" -

Me - guitars and vocals (either in the studio and live if i can do them and we ever play live)
Naked Dave - drums

- A two piece grind outfit similar to the red chord and other grind bands -
this works with me doing the recordings then sending them to naked dave so he can write a drum line, then recording in a studio and layering the vocals over at the last minute


"11/11"

Me - acoustic guitar
(hopefully helen) - vocals

the band is not called 11/11 it's just the name of the idea, i want to do a two person thing that sounds like the track 11/11 off of the self titled team sleep album




but other than that i have done not much over the summer but spent a lot of my time with helen and it's been great so i'm not going to complain, also lots of partying, and drinking, and a bit of sex here and there too haha

i have to go get ready for college now so i'll write in this as soon as something important happens

it's been quite some

Mood: good
Listening to: -ste on the phone-

yeah it's been some time since i wrote in this i've been quite busy keeping myself entertained, but i have to go now so i'll do it later on - see ya

heylo

Mood: damn good, considering the time
Listening to: evergreen terrace's album

Yes it is 8 in the morning, yes i have been up for an hour, i was out at the pub last night, i did get in at one, and i did stay up and watch the F1 Grandprix.

The last few weeks have been amazing, and i have never felt better or happier than this, and it is mainly due to the company i have been keeping, namely Helen "i'm so wonderful" Prout, i have never felt so strongly about someone, and she assures me she feels the same way it's the most amazing thing in the world and if i didn't want to spend more time with her, i would quite happily die now, as things will always seem like shit after this.

Also i have seen Joe a few days this week, he came out last night, but looked really down and went home, i do hope he is okay.

I got to see my best friend Ste last night, the mediator between everyone as per usual, and there was the typical naked dave and dani near split, but isn't there always, they must feel like they need to cause drama or something dumb like that.......

                                 

oh and on the way home we got stopped by the police, and everyone seemed really scared, as ste and lianne were down an alley while she pissed and he kept guard, and they were talkin to me, seen as i had a bottle in my hand,

"yesh we've just been through Ponte"

 "why have you stopped walking then"

"we are waiting for my friend, he is over there using the bushes for a pee"

 "i beg your pardon son?"

"he is over there in the bush having a wee wee, so that if you guys drove past you couldn't fine him for doing it on the street"

"ah very clever, have a safe walk home"

yet everyone else, even wozo who was sober was to scared to talk to them, which they admited, and G my god he was shitting his pants.

Got the new Evergreen Terrace album yesterday which is amazing, and probly their best yet, and they are so far ahead of this whole metalcore thing, people now are only doing what they did on their first album, it's good shit you should go buy it.

and i'm going to get a bath and go buy some guitar strings then to band practise.

yet again...

Mood: fan-fucking-tastic
Listening to: team sleep

its been quite a long time since i wrote in this, and again it is because helen bitched at me for not doing it but it's also cause i am highly bored.
the sky is very red outside my window

i got the team sleep album on saturday which was yesterday and it is by far the best album i have bought in a long time, i like everytrack on it, and natalie portman is no "live from the stage" that song just couldn't be left off their album its so fucking amazing, shame that ice ache didn't make it on, cause that is a really good song, it is going to be the sound track to my summer, and i said to helen that it is the music that we should make love to.

last night i went to a party, at helen's friend's neil's house and it was quite fun, i got quite drunk and set my hand on fire which was a dumb cunt thing to do but i'll be okay and to be completly honest i think i am going to stop drinking, i have just as much fun sober if not more, and i say stupid stuff that is true, but is worded wrong and then i can't argue my points and i come off as really bad and ignorant and then i have to remind myself what i have said and then i have to make sure that people know that i meant what i said, for example helen and i nearly fell out but she was drunk too and i told her i felt a certain way because "not yet, but soon and slowly but surely, i am going to fall in love with you, and i can see it as a definate thing" and i said that, but i didn't want to because i'm scared of saying something like that and freaking her out, thing is though, it is all one hundred percent true and yes helen i know you are going to read this but i don't care as i have already said it to and if you can't remember you know now. But there was tears and i felt uncomfortable and i didnt think that i was saying things right and this just gives me proof that drinking is quite stupid, in excess anyway, and i'm not going to be strictly tee-total but i am not going to drink more than two pints or can in one night, and i am going to stay away from drugs altogether

this is gettin quite lengthy, the other day i came up with the idea of having two decent guitars and then for some songs dropping down to Bb F Bb Eb F Bb for some, but i didn't like it which was a shock to me, but i hate it, and at least i don't have to get another guitar or whatever, and i can do heavy in drop C#, i'll show you, i mean lamb of god play in drop D so its just a question of style, anyway i'm going to leave it at this and maybe next month i'll update again.





oh oh oh AND....... it's two month for me and my busty hot biatch helen tomorow so wooooooo

Apr 30, 2005 at 11:18 o\clock

it has been so long since i wrote in this shit

Mood: good
Listening to: the paradoxial spiral - meshuggah

and i'm only doing it now because helen shouted at me for not doing, things are going really well between us two (i think, she could hate me for all i know and be a really good actor) i have not been doing any thing, and really i should have been revising as my exams are only a few weeks away, but it hasn't seemed to bother me, i only really need to do history and sociology as they are the things i'm not doing to well in or are re-sitting and a tiny bit of psychology, and then next year i can start my photography thing, and take pictures of naked women and call it art and i will get to posisition their breasts and stuff (if only it was true)

As far as the band is going it has been a bit of a rough patch till last wednesday and we got two new songs done and then yesterday we (Ste and i) went into the counting house and we have left our details and we could be supporting a random band and then headline and then in the wee hours of this morning davros phoned me up while i was in bed listening to the mars volta and we might me playing the snooty fox on the 16th of september if the hammerex agree, we played college with them and they are like metallica but old school and good and dammager who i've not heard but are meant to be good, i met them on the bus to hatebreed gig, they seemed liek cool guys, it's such a small world

anyway i'm off

In The Past Few days

Mood: tired as fuck
Listening to: forced elimination - dying fetus

nothing much has happened apart from going to leeds on saturday and seeing and talking to some guy randomly playing a blackmachine in the middle of town then buying a dickies belt, then going to parry's little get together and having a brawl with naked dave then then taking the usual hour walk from airedale to some far out part of ponte to helen's, which only took 45 mins and i was drunk - impressive or what. SHE IS SWEATY - we were asleep on the couch and then i woke up covered in her sweat it was like a swimming pool. but it was funny none the less.

Monday Mourning

Mood: good, thankyou for asking
Listening to: birthmark - deftones

first day back at college after two weeks off and the really ad thing is i have an essay or two to do for tomorow and i really couldn't give a fuck, i sat down and tried to do them on sunday but i couldnt remember anything trotsky did.

Recorded an acoustic version of the slow song today, just my guitar part, and i gave it a reverse intro and it sounds pretty cool, i've figured out the right volume to have my amp at and the distance away the mic should be so i'll record some takes of the few songs we have just so i dont have to write them down and can remember them and stuff, but the songs are pretty empty with out dave, and i will see if i can get the recording up on the net somewhere and tell people to have a listen
                       


                            "nothing is the same"
                                     

although now after hearing myself play, i'm really looking forward to what our demo is going to sound like.

Mar 31, 2005 at 13:54 o\clock

and......

Mood: great
Listening to: nosebleed - deftones

Had a very good band practise on wednesday, we got another new song done, that makes four that are fully finished aside from some lyrics and they are

Nothing is the same
The Slow song*
The one with the breakdown*
Alternate start*

(* = working title)

And then is about 7 riffs that all have drum parts and bass parts to them but we can't think of anything else to go with them off yet. We are gettin' alot heavier each song we write and at the moment we are like a light version of Chimaira, and only light because we only have one guitarist (that would be me) but thats the way its gonna stay, means i get to use a bigger amp than everyone else


I just need to find somewhere to play a gig, 'cause now we could play a 7 song set including our covers of;

Around the Fur - deftones
Stuck in my throat - =Reuben=
Private eye - alkaline trio

and now we finally have four songs that are of our heavy standards and that we like we are gonna try and record soon, we will definatly have a demo out by the half way mark of the summer holidays, cause there are A level college exams to get out of the way first and by the end of the summer we should have played at least two more gigs   and shot a few people from the looks of that emoticon
