I Want To Get High - Cypress Hill

Today couldnt have been more of a let down. Jonny picked me up about 12 then we drove to Chilli Rd Metro station to meet Will. I picked my iPod up from Laff's and we drove to R-Kade Skatepark in Redcar. We stopped off at Dalton Park to check out some shops on the way, as we were doing pretty good for time. When we eventually got to the skatepark all the shutters were down, so I checked the internet and we found out R-Kade is shut on Mondays. We probably shouldve checked that before we left. So we drove down the sea front to go see the penguin statues, My original plan was to Ollie one. But when we pulled up I didnt actually realise how big they were. No way was I gonna even attempt it without a warm up. So I just took some photos on the Holga insted. We then decided to check out Prissick Plaza, hopefully it was gonna be dry. We stopped off to take some photos of the Transporter Bridge in Middlesborough on the way. I get really stoked everytime I see it since it was on "Auf Wiedersehen Pet" but iv never been so close to it. We were gonna take a ride across but didnt have a clue how much it was and we wanted to skate real bad. So we drove to Prissick only to find it soaking wet. Another complete let down. So we drove off again, We rang Neil and arranged to meet him at Ilva near the Metro Centre, An outdoor skate spot with a roof that was bound to be dry. We arrived had a bit of a session but I was over it before it started. Im sick of skating Ilva, Its such a bad spot and the pavement gaps aint fun at all. We only skated for the best part of an hour and a half before hitting up the Metro Centre to get some food. We opted for the Weatherspoons and I got a Cheese and Onion Pastie with Chips and Beans, Pretty standard but it hit the spot. We had a bit of a walk around the centre then Jonny dropped me back off home. I was only there for a few mins, Said hello to Sarah then caught the bus to Killingworth to go see my Dad. We had a good catch up and he'd fixed my record player. He dropped me back off in Heaton about half 9ish. Sarah and I watched Madagascar 2 (kids films rule!) and then crashed out.

Breathe In - Braid

Had a pretty fun day today, the snow had all cleared up so I rode my bike over to Guildford Manor, Me, Laff, Nixon and Innes' chilled/smoked and listened to Braid for a bit before watching more of "Extras". India, Kinchley and Sarah turned up later on, aswell as Marshy.
 We watched 8 Mile (Another film iv never been interested in, but turned out to be awesome). The battles towards the end are so sick.
 Me and Sarah left when it finished and walked home through the cold, dark streets. We made pasta when we got back and watched "Are we there yet", it was alright, not as good as I was hoping. It was the same kind of humor as "Home Alone" just not as good. I ran up to Espressa afterwards to return the DVD's. Me and Sarah just chilled and fell asleep pretty early.

Massif (Stay Strong) - Squarepusher

Sarah's alarm went off for her to start work today so I was awake around 9.30am. I chilled in bed for a bit while Sarah got ready. We said our goodbyes as she left the house then I got up and dressed. Listened to some music then headed out to meet Innes', Gemma, Laff at the Chilli Arms.
 We skipped the Metro down to the coast to go visit Tynemouth Market. I hadnt been there since I was really young so it was pretty fun. We looked around all the stalls and Gemma bought a little kinda wallet with some old black and whitle photos inside which was pretty cool.
 After the market we walked to the Land of green ginger, Id never been inside before but it wasnt to good. Just an old church with some daft shops inside. We then walked down through the main street, I picked up Sarah another birthday present and Innes' bought some books. We didnt really know what to do next so decided we'd walk up the pier to the lighthouse. I dont think i'd been so cold in such a long time. First off it was raining so it was a grim day, second it was cold as hell. And third the wind when we were on the pier was so hard. But in all honesty, I was loving it. I hadnt been down Tynemouth Pier for years and I love looking out across the sea. When I grow old I really wanna move to Tynemouth and just chill on the beach with my dog everyday, no matter what the weather.
 We walked back up to the Metro Station and headed back home, Me and Chris went to Morrisons then back to The Manor to drink tea, smoke weed and eat biscuits. Innes' came down to chill with us and we watched Ricky Gervais' "Extra's". Id never seen it before and it was hilarious.
 India and Rachel came around later on but I left to go meet Sarah getting in from work. We headed up to Espressa and picked up two DVD's, "Pirates of the Caribbean" and Ice Cube's "Are we there yet?". We chilled in bed, ate pizza and watched the final P.O.T.C film. It sucked dick. I really enjoyed the first, the second was ok, but this one was a joke. We were both feeling pretty tired so we decided to go to kip and watch the Ice Cube film tomorrow. Iv got high hopes for Ice Cube, He was in NWA and all his other films are pretty sick. He better not let me down.

A Thousand Miles - Vanessa Carlton

Today was my first unemployed day of sheer boredom. It was fuckin horrible. I sat in the house all day doing pretty much nothing and I was sick to death. Theres only do much time you can spend browsing crap on the internet and watching the same Videos/DVDs over and over.

 I got ready and headed over to the shop to get some Bread, Milk, Egg's and Cheese. I made a fried Egg Sarnie when I got back, Took the stickers off my hardcase and tried my best to get all the sticky remains off with nail polish remover.

 5pm finally came and I headed round to Laffertys to meet him so we could walk to practice. When I arrived, India was there and she offered to give us a lift down to Morrisons. I felt really happy for her as she'd past her driving test today. (I really need to start my lessons). She seemed really confident on the road which was rad, although we did nearly crash at the Morrisons round about. She dropped us off and we picked up some Juice and Biscuits and then walked down to the Offquay.

 Joe and Foxy turned up not long after. So practice Number #1 as "Sunday League"We blasted through the song we wrote last week and it sounded really good, were getting loads tighter. Chris then put the vocals down after we played through a few times and he knew what he was doing. I was really happy with how everything sounded. I think we sound slightly like Braid, but its only the first song so I guess we still aint got our "Sound" yet.

 We then moved onto the second song which we worked on at Laff's the other night. Foxy and I played through what we already knew while Joe put some drums to it. Then for me it was like hitting a brick wall, We couldnt write the next part, it just didnt seem to go anywhere.

 We chilled for a bit while Foxy sat there just playing his guitar trying to find a next part. He eventually did it and Joe recorded what had been played on his laptop. Iv gotta say, I still wasnt feeling the song til I heared the recording played back, it sounds kinda like Algernon with a bit of Native thrown in, which isnt a band thing at all.

 After practice we piled in Foxy's car and dropped Joe at the train station before heading back to Heaton for some Salt and Pepper, Chilli Chips from the Chinese and a session at The Manor. Foxy bought us Irn Bru and we just sat, talked and listend to tunes for quite a while. Foxy also showed us the Youtube footage of when a Horse was on the loose at Bolden Cinema, which was hilarious. We smoked a little, drank some tea (Im sick of getting the Poo's mug) then Foxy dropped me off at home. I climbed straight into bed with Sarah, we caught up and then crashed out.

Memoirs Of A Dutiful Daughter - One Night Stand In North Dakota

I woke up real early this morning, I picked up my phone to check the time, thinking it was around 12, I was plesantly suprised it was only 9.30am. I still felt as though I'd had a good, long lie in. I put on some music, cleaned up and tidied the bedroom. I chilled for a while, made some "sausages" with beer batter chips and spaghetti. I then left to go check on Toby again. He's still hyper, I know he's just a puppy but shit, he really needs to calm down. I played with him for a bit before heading home to get back for Sarah coming in from work.
 I felt like I hadnt seen her in a while. We made some brews, chilled and had a nice conversation. We then left to go meet the crew at Guildford Manor, we only stayed for about a quarter of an hour before we all made our way down the road to see ONSIND play at Heaton Perk. I picked up some IrnXBru and a fortune cookie on the way.
 Id never been inside before and never realised exactly how small it is. It looks so much bigger when you ride past on the bus. It was packed to say the least, but packed with good, friendly people and a lot of familiar faces. I ordered Sarah and myself a huge pot of tea. 2010 is definatly the year for drinking tea at shows, Its gonna be huge! ONSIND played through their first set, super tight, they'd clearly had a good practice for this one. But thats not to say they arent awesome everytime they play.
 We sat outside during the "Intermission" to smoke some weed and cool off, it was so hot inside, but freezing out, so we couldnt win either way. Sarah fell down the steps on the way back in. Was pretty funny but I felt really bad as she hurt her ankle and took Laff out with her as she slipped down.
 ONSIND's second set was again super, super tight. Their new songs are sounding really good too. Pretty excited for their next release. I drank some Irn Bru and opened my fortune cookie, I was pretty high by this point and ended up flinging the fortune cookie through the air and hitting the girl sitting down next to me. She found the funny side though, Plus she was with Charlotte and some other friends so she wasnt gonna mind too much.
 After the show I picked up the ONSIND/Ghost Mice Split 7" and some stickers off JC then we all headed back to The Manor to watch Friday and have some smoke. Sarah and I got a taxi back later on, we watched the rest of Step Brothers and crashed.

I took some more photos on the Holga Coloursplash today, Im starting to carry it round in my bag with me everyday now. Hopefully the one I took at the show will turn out pretty good.

Ponyboy - Native

The Pswingset demo didnt show up today, pretty gutted. Sarah and I woke up pretty early, she had work and I was meeting Laff and Kinch to head into town for the Republic Open Day. Sarah left just before me, I walked up the street and the bus came round the corner, so i figured id just hop on. I walked upstairs and Sarah was sitting there. She had been waiting at the stop around the corner. When I got off on Heaton road Sarah said some girl had been really obviously checking me out. Sarah seemed pretty pissed off but I though it was funny. I arrived at the Manor and we made brews before walking to town. We popped into Gothmandu to see Foxy and sort out the craic for the jam session we were having later on tonight. We then walked up to Shearers bar for the Republic Interviews. We waited quite a while as there was quite a crowd of people waiting to been seen. A woman eventually called Chris' name, Then another called mine not long after, We ended up getting interviewed on the tables next to eachother. I was well nervous but I think I did ok. Kinchley and myself got through to the next stage, unfortunatly Chris didnt. I felt pretty bad for him but he wasnt to psyched on the job anyway. I hope he finds something though. Chris left to go meet India, Me and Kinch stayed for our second interviews. That went pretty good aswell, when I finished I felt I couldve added a bit more to what I had to say, fingers crossed I get the job though. We headed to monument to meet laff and India, We dodged around town and I bought Sarah a birthday present aswell as posting the shirt off to Sheffield. We met up with John not long after and I headed to Barclays to sort my overdraft out. I bought a tomato an cheese toastie from Speedy's sarnie shop. We said goodbye to India and walked back to The Manor. We chilled for a while and watched most of Amelie, A film iv never been to bothered about seeing, but turned out to be awesome. Its all about just enjoyign the simple things in life. Nixon turned up with some weed and Foxy with his guitar. We smoked and jammed a new song Foxy had came up with. Really excited for practice on Friday now. Oh and I think weve changed our name from Camilles/Camillias to Sunday League. Reason being: John looks like a Sunday League Football Dad. Foxy left around 8.30pm and we all continued to drink Irn Bru / Tea and smoke the night away while watching Pineapple Express. I was gonna stay over but couldnt hack sleeping in my contact lenses again, I havent done it for ages, but its so horrible waking up in the morning having your eyes feel fuckin awful. So I arrived back home about 1.40am I think, Sarah and I talked for a bit then fell asleep. I took some photos today on the Holga Coloursplash but I wont be getting them developed for a few days, if not a week. My phone battery died mid-day so I couldnt even take a photo on that. Oh yeah I also picked up a fortune cookie in Ricky's. It read " All your sorrows will vanish". Im feeling pretty happy with life at the minute, I dont really have a care in the world. I still havent hit the financial brick wall, Im not stoked for that happening, But im gonna try and make the money I get at the end of this month last as long as possible.
