Staff: Can i help you?
Me: Yes, i would like 12.5g of Golden Virginia, some blue Rizlas and a lighter.
Staff: Have you got any I.D?
Me: I have my uni card if that will do
Staff: sorry no, we've heard that someone matching your description has been testing stores around here so i can't serve you.
Thought: How many people in Falmouth walk around in t-shirts covered in bright green flies, whilst fashioning mustaches, big boots and fly tattoos?
Me: hahahaa fine, ok, bye.

Stupidity in Protests
I’ve been told that at some point there is going to be a protest involving people from a certain collective gathering in a certain bank to protest about certain things this bank does.They are protesting by setting off rape alarms in mass inside the doors of the bank.
Now here’s my brother’s point again - Fox hunting ban protesters, biggest protest in the country. The ban...

I don’t want to tell you about last night just yet, as there was video evidence of my escapades, lies, bullshit, dancing, potential homosexuality and excessive drinking.
Sam is editing it as we speak, i’ll put it up here soon.
Today however was awesome, after waking up to coffee and cigs at about 11.00 we watched the video back from last night in its raw form. Then all of this stuff...

I’ve not been oppressed much in my life, but this, to me, just seems fucking pathetic.
Fuck you bruised pomegranate.
I fell asleep watching district 9. It was quite scary when i woke up.
Its 1:37, i was going to stay up and catch the Skints interview on Radio 1 at 2, but i really can’t be fucked anymore, it will be on iplayer anyway.
I downloaded Thee Oh Sees entire back catilogue (i think) including the stuff under the ohsees, OCS and more.
It’s good to have a day...

Fucking sorted
Someone got back to me about the double bass saying they don’t need a double bass but they do need a trumpet player for a cuban style band. How, Fucking, Awesome is that.
I fixed the double bass today, so i might not sell it anymore.
I’m hard up for space, but then...

Falmouth Hatemail
Matt black Double Bass with gloss black flames at the bottom made of plywood it comes with a set of rockabilly slap strings and 3 spare strings (one broke a while back) It’s currently set up left handed. I have bought a new bridge for it which needs fitting, it will only take a bit of sanding and filing for the string groves. Basically I don’t want it, as I’m a trumpet player. It...
Escapism
Today, i don’t want to see or talk to anyone. I want to go somewhere far away and be completely isolated from mankind, including food and water. I want to reach a state of such self pity that i reject these feelings from my body and feel sane again.
I can’t do that however. I don’t have time. So instead i’m going to read The Three Ecologies by Felix Guattari.
I want to...

I miss you too x
I just met my least favorite person in England
A Liverpool supporter who had a sovereign ring with a swollen knuckle from hitting a manchester united supporter, a tattoo of an eye on each thumb that he held over his eyes shouting ‘hail hitler’, then reviled he had a hitler tash tattoo on his left index finger when he did a nazi salute.
I was caught up in a conversation between strangers and strangers in a kebab shop. I just wanted...

I just got my mix CD through the post from that lovable atheist attorney, aprettygoodstart. Addressed to Emperor Palpatine. It reminds me of when i sent University prospectususus to all my friends pets.
Good stuff.
Now i need to get the train to Falmouth.
Or eat Breakfast before i go.
Or sleep and play with the dog until the snow clears.
I don’t know if the train will even make it yet.

Falmouth House Party Music Conversation
I'm helping set up some speakers for DJ Beno
Random: So do you DJ?
Me: No, i just help out cus i have some equipment.
Random: Are you into Dubstep then
Me: No, i play in punk and ska bands mostly but dubsteps alright (choking with politeness)
Random: see I'm into my dubstep cus i like being part of something new that no one has heard before.
Me: Ohh right (sick from holding my tongue)
What i should have said was
Me: so you think i still listen to that 70's punk rock bull shit that was purely fashion? The music i listen to is new, cutting edge and interesting because punk music is about exchanging ideas. Dubsteps just a fucking flavor of the month ketamine fart, that involves basically covering ANY song from the last 50 years if its cheesy enough. Fuck off telling me your part of something new, your as recycled as Friends on T4. Now let me set up this fucking amp for your fucking terrible house party so i can sit in the other fucking room and play ukulele.
Thats what i thought. But apparently i am quick to the rant and need to calm it down, even if morons do make personal attacks on me and my culture.

i came off the sled and my hoodie rode up my back
i slid for about 10 meters on icy snow on my back
it felt like glass
but the stars were beautiful when i stopped sliding
and i took a deep breath, and roared at the sky
then walked back up the hill to my friends
and drank some coffee and ate some birthday brownies my mum made
why do people employ nicholas cage?
