Stage stuff

Yesterday, we (my stage group) put on a show, after a week long course in which we worked our asses off getting a show ready. We’d start at 10:15 at finish around 5 ish. It was a long day, but it was engaging and brilliant fun. We began at 7:40. The director said a few [...]

Charlie, and now Barack

Roight, time is of the short, so I shall be quick. On Friday night we went to bar bruchetta (my best effort), complete with lots of ridicule from Patrick for getting confused between that and Brocca. Onwards, on Saturday, I gots myself a dog. He’s a cute little bugger, 6 weeks old, (7 tomorrow) all [...]

Schoooool’s out for the summmmmmer!

Yup! I is finished! No more school for a whole 2 months. Two months of drumming (If only Pa would get up), two months of France, two months of laughing at the poor english sods who have to stay in school until the last week of July. Pa is home, he came home late last [...]

Life Lesson # 1

If you aren’t sweating after playing drums; you aren’t doing it right Drums is all about passion. I struggle to think of another musical instrument that requires passion. Sure, violin has soul (Nearer my god to thee; Titanic; 1997) as does the Sax, in fact, most Jazz instruments have soul. But none need a fiery [...]

I have two new idols!

1) 2) They are of course, A drum kit, and Gregory House As I twittered a few days ago, when I began watching House; that my transformation into my brothers is almost complete. Namely Pa. As in, we both have red hair, we both are interested in technology, and macs. We both aren’t very religious, [...]

iPhone

On Monday night, at WWDC, (WorldWide Developers Conference) Steve Jobs announced iPhone 2.0. It’s $200 cheaper, 3G, a flush headphone jack and has higher audio quality. It’s released on July 11th, four days into when I’m in France, so I think what I’ll do is find out what network they’re releasing it in France, and [...]

First blog post as a 14 year old.

So, what now? Do I have to change the subject of my posts? Watching House. John introduced me to it. It ROCKS! He’s so awesome, cold, calculating, and a complete bastard. And he rides a motorcycle! So this is why John wants to start! Just back from school after being back from Dublin. Medical stuff [...]

I’ll think of a wittier blog title later

Just in the office, watching Jay (as he says) pwn people in Battlefield 1942. The reality, however, is rather different. In face, a destroyed plane just landed on his jeep; killing him. Pwnage indeed. Mom and Dad are gone for the weekend so we’re gonna get sooo drunk lots of sleep. Gonna go into town [...]

6 Days and Counting…

As you can see, I’ve found a more original blog title. Unfortunately, it’s only last til…yup, you guessed it, the 10th. Unless I want to go back to “365 Days and counting….” Great news, as my Black Adder DVDs at last. Edmund: Quick! They’re coming! Run for the hills!Baldrick: But! Sir! They’re coming from the [...]

It’s all over!

News announces that Hillary Clinton CHICAGO – Hillary Rodham Clinton will concede Tuesday night that Barack Obama has the delegates to secure the Democratic nomination, campaign officials said, effectively ending her bid to be the nation’s first female president. The former first lady will stop short of formally suspending or ending her race in her [...]
