U KNOW YOU WANNA SHOOK UP....

Tonight was mental!

During ACM, Steve asked me if I was going to ACM Live Link that night, and if I was being honest, I didn't really have a clue what that was. Another kid next to me in Business lecture said its a time that the whole of ACM get together in different venues, listen to live music and get drunk. I didn't need to ask anymore. My drunk cap was on.

So home we went and watched heroes season 3. This season is starting to annoy me. So many slapstick comedy moments its unreal. Totally missing the point of a serious show. But however I enjoyed it. Steve after it finished said 'well that was shit'

I just replied '...yep'

Had another nap and was awaken by Ricky Gervais' laugh. Its too annoying now.

Got up and starting drinking some Malibu and Cranberry juice. Drank 4 glasses of the stuff in half hour whilst dancing to some heavy music. This didn't go too well on my stomach. Was being sick in the toilet and Steve just asked 'You gonna be alright for tonight'

'Oh Yeah!!!'


Off we went to the electric theatre, a venue that ACM owns. Four bands were playing there including mine and Steve's favourite. A Band called Free Peace. A fantastic band with a very very attractive lead singer ;)

We took our signature hat and glasses but this didn't really get a good response at first as everyone was sober. We went to another pub that some more live music was at. Once again drunk some more and started chatting, getting some good pics and getting people to wear the hat. We got a few people to move back to electric theatre, we took the hat and people couldn't get enough of it.

Talked to the lead singer of free peace and she said she will dedicate a song to us. Was mental. We raved to them and people with us were having a great time, wearing our hat and glasses etc, Was a fantastic night. I can't really do it justice on here. Fit free peace singer wearing our hat :)


Came home and had a kebab on the way. Was absolutely disgusting. Ate a whole chili, just said to Steve 'This is absolutely gonna burn my arsehole tomorrow'

Was a great night. . .

Yesterday was another ordinary Monday. I had to play a new song called Easy lover by Phil Collins in my lesson. A really cheesy song but had a good laugh playing it.

Came home and had another nap. I love my naps, get so regenerated afterwards. I'm looking forward to one tonight. Although Steve said that heroes is nearly downloaded so we have to watch that. I shall have one afterwards.

Steve and Matt came home and we all just sat in our rooms. We were talking on msn. It came to about 9ish and Steve wanted to go to Tesco's. We all got ready then got into a programme about hat they put in really bad food. Matt and Steve were disgusted and Matt said, i've never ate a sausage since i've seen this programme. I dunno why he was surprised. Everyone knows that absolute junk goes into our food these days, and a little programme on tele will not change anything.

Went to Tesco's and saw a kid there from my class. I saw him there yesterday as well so it just made it even more awkward. Turned down an isle and was like 'oh for fu...'. I was about to turn around but he saw me, can't do that then, would just be embarrassing.

Got home, made dinner and watched Lord of the Rings. We started watching this at 10.30 and it finished at 1.30. Matt was not happy as he had an early start.

Ill continue this blog tonight as I have to go to ACM.

Bye bye x

Chocolate Ice Cream

I know I blogged one this morning but I need to blog at the end of days instead of morning. Also i'm bored.

I woke up at 12 today with a little bit of a head-ache from last night. I hate waking up at this time, its such a waste of day and it didn't really help that I didn't do anything today either.

I sat on my computer with Steve next to me in my bed for about 2 hours as always. We decided we'd give Lord of the Rings another go. So we told Matt and he went downstairs and cleaned up. Steve said to me

'When Matt comes back up, make out we're asleep'

I don't know why I thought this was a good idea. But I loved it. So we waited and waited, and eventually actually fell asleep. Another waste of time. I was awoke by Steve asking me for toilet paper because he had a nose bleed. I've never had a nose bleed. I always find a nose bleed strange as it looks like your brain is bleeding. Not that that's the reason for me never having one.

We watched Lord of the Rings and loved it as always. I made some burgers for dinner and they were great. Steve told me a joke the other day which I was trying to remember

'Why do candle-makers have the easiest job? because they only work on wick-ends'

Sitting on my computer now about to go to bed. I was offered chocolate ice cream from Steve. We got all the way downstairs and the ice cream was too hard. I thought of putting it in the microwave.

I hope this week at ACM is ok and that I have some fun.

ciao, x

Virgin Balloooooooooon

After Mike and Matt left. Steve came home shortly afterwards but was in a stress so I found it hard to talk to him, he still managed to slumber into my bed though. I make out it annoys me but I secretly enjoy it. Spend all this time with him, literally at school, walking home and I still love his company at night times. Just to know you have something to come home to. Its just a shame Matt doesn't get to walk to school with us.

We saw a massive virgin hot air balloon above our house, when I say above I mean like a good 50 metres above. Was a great sight. It was massive, they never seem that big.

Yesterday was pretty boring really until we got a message from a girl from ACM who said she needed a place to stay and come back to. We offered her into our humble home.

Me and Matt went to Tesco's to buy 'necessities'. Thought it wouldn't be that expensive. Was £50. I had foam at the mouth when I had to hand over my card. We bought a 24 pack of fosters and a litre of Malibu so i'm not surprised actually. Got home and Stacy was here. We was trying to make our chicken kievs whilst she was there.

Steve thought it'd be a good idea just to drink randomly so I took him up on the challenge. We got through a good amount of beers and malibu. Stacy was not impressed especially when me and steve started arguing because Steve hit me on the head with his spoon. We had a proper little row like children... 'why ya do that?

'I dunno'

'well don't....'

'all right I won't next time'

'good'

Stacy just laughed. And so did we eventually.

She had to go out so being a little bit drunk I thought it'd be funny to reverse her car off our drive. If you haven't seen our drive, its probably a big hill than Everest its that steep so finding the biting point was like solving a rubix cube. I managed to do it, but she didn't laugh when I said i'm taking it round the block.

Me, Steve and Matt tried to watch lord of the rings 2. A great film but couldn't concentrate with Steve watching porn in the background and hearing the occasional 'yeah..that's it, right there' We turned the film off.

Kept on drinking and then went to bed. This morning is not the best I must admit. Sundays suck.

Keep rocking, x

The Fellowship

Yesterday was once again our LPW (Live Performance Workshop). It didn't go too great last week so I was really worried about walking in in front of people that might remember and be like...

'is that...is that the kid that messed up?'

The lesson was delayed due to a girl in Steve's class had as Steve said a 'fit/faint its all the same'. It turns out the girl had an eppy due to stress or something, I weren't really listening as I was so worried. Anyway I hope my 'PEER (matt)' feels better. The song this week was Walk this Way by Aerosmith and Run DMC, a really easy song as its one beat but still its playing in front of other musicians. I got up and played it and it all went smoothly. Our teacher had bought in an electric pad which when you hit it, it makes the sound of a DJ deck. I was scared to other use this, but when I put it in I sounded like a bellend not a DJ.

Got home and Matt and Mike were there before we were. They had gone to Tescos to buy beers and a pizza. They came back and met us, I was really happy to see them and don't want them to leave :(

Whilst I was doing my business Matt thought it's be funny to unlock the door and watch, we had a little fight and broke the 'saw' door. It came off its hinges and now to close or open the door we have to literally use it as a plank of wood lifting it up everytime. Not good.

Steve was pestering Matt to give him a lift to the station turns out that Matt got stuck in traffic on the way back. Steve was going to London to see his well i dunno what she is to him. They were going to a club where apparently his on the VIP list. I doubt this because the biggest name they've had is that Dal fella from Big Brother. And I think he just turned up not knowing.

Us 3 got stuck into our beers, turns out we drank 20, not bad. I say we, I only had 5. Came 10 o clock and I was pestering Matt and Mike to go to a club as they came all the way here and just wanted to stay in. I said we cant go the cheap club on uni as its a school uniform night and we would look silly if we went so we would have to go to a club called Harpers in town. I warned them its £10 and that i've never been on a Friday. After an hour they decided to give it a shot. We thought we'd walk past the uni club to see if everyone was actually in school uniform. They were.

We then walked back on our self to Harpers. There wasn't a queue so I was a bit curious. We sat in Wetherspoons for an hour and then decided to walk over. I said to the bouncer

'Is it busy in there tonight?'

'Its RAGING!!!'

I then asked his friend, the other bouncer.

'Is it really???'

'Ye mate, Packed out'

So went in, I handed over my student card to the lady thinking like Monday she would make it £6 instead of a tener. She just nodded.

'No'

'What?'

'Its a tener'

'For fu....thats mental'

So embarrissing in front of Mike and Matt. We walked into the club. Never been so annoyed in my life. About 20 people at max in the main part of club. We sat there for 10 mins and decided to go. What a waste of Money. Mike had also paid £3 to put his 'jersey' in the cloakroom so it was £13 for him. Un-fucking-believable.


We then walked back and basically went to bed. Me and Mike had them little tired conversations you have when you want to go asleep. All done was talk about films. I don't remember falling asleep.

Woke up to Matt pestering us and jumping on me. I wasn't in the mood.


I made them a cup of tea and now here we are. They are leaving today and i'm sad :( Its great having visitors even if they do break things. Hopefully Jamie will come down soon. Steve is coming home today so its all good. Ive missed my roomy!

Lord of the guildfordshire McRings

Mummy and Daddy came over today, they brought us sheperds pie and snacky snack snacks. This made me very happy. Mum burnt the sheperds pie though.

Found out that Matt and Mike are gonna come down tomorrow for a party night out. Shame Steve wont be here though.... I got over that.

watched Lord of the Rings with Matt as his never seen them. He werent impressed... 'Why wont he die already' grrrrr o well...

Not a great day, why did i blog it?

Cheers for now, x

They call me her, they call me stacy, they call me ZANE LOWE!!!!

Yesterday was pretty great. I found out that a friend from gaynes and Havering sixth form has just moved into the halls of Surrey Uni which is just around the corner to us. We talked and decided we would go to a club that night. After college Steve went on the internet and found out that Zane Lowe (MTV2, Radio 1, XFM, Muse Gig) was DJing for a club in the university. I couldn't let this oppurtunity slip by. I got all excited and Steve didn't even know who he was. Typical.

We walked to the University and found Jack. He took us to his room which is actually very 'roomy' and comfy. We had a few beers and off we went to a pub on campus. Was very very cheap and full of kids that were eager to have a chat as much as we were. Was great fun, it mainly consisted of me and Steve going round to people who done law and maths and stuff and us making out we were really cool because we done Drums for degree level. We started to show off to people that because we lived on our own we could do wild things. I remember such quotes such as...

'Guess what? I went to bed at 11 last night'

'We're meant to practise 2 hours a night apparently, but you know me, only done hour and half'

Was great fun due to us being quite drunk.

We then went into the club which took about an hour to queue for. Met some kids in line who were from Essex (the rough part) so we had something to talk about. Mainly us again, taking the piss. These are them....


We finally got into the club. Was great fun, great music and cheap drinks. Met some people we actually knew like REECE WAITE!!!!!! hahaha. We even got some free budweiser glasses which we bassically wore all night.

Was a great night.

'Come dance with me'

Yesterday was my first Friday. These are the days at the end of the week when we have to perform a song in front of our fellow 'piers' and classmates. I was a little bit nervous about the whole thing, a few people got up and there were a few mistakes which is natural, then I got up. I got put with a band who were good musicians but just couldn't work together. We sorted out an ending to do where the guitarist will solo for 24 bars then it will do a 2 bar like fill and finish. I said 'look at me when you want me to finish'

He thought it'd be funny to carry on for 48 bars and would look at me for the whole thing. I just didn't have a clue when to finish, so I finished where I thought was right. The guitarist then came over and said 'Why finish there?'

The tutor got the microphone and said to the audience

'Was it me, or was that shite?'

I was like 'That's mental, no one helped me at all'

And I basically got the blame for it all, so embarrassing especially the fact that it was my first time to perform in front of other musicians and now i'm going to look terrible. :(

That's behind me now though....

Came home and had a massive headache due to stress and what not so we thought we'd end the night with a nice little Indian, turned out it was so expensive and took about an hour to get here. We still tipped him.

Steve was on the phone to Natasha and I thought i'd take this time for my advantage and go on his mac. I started a IChat with Dean which was great. Steve was not impressed.

Pete Riley?? Yep...

Today I had a drum lesson with Pete Riley, its like having a drum lesson with a celebrity. He is one of my favorite drummers, some of your might know him from Guthrie Govan. A little name in Chelmsford who plays on thursdays. A fantastic drummer who help me on my long journey of perfecting my Samba/Latin style. He wrote down some notation for me, felt like framing it when I got home.

Came home and watched The Last Samurai, this film was mostly missed by a lot of sexual innuendo's and silly jokes (mainly refering to Ricky Gervais).

Quite a boring little day part from my great half hour drum lesson,

Stay Funky, x

51 years too old...

Today wasn't nothing special at all, I don't even know why i'm blogging this. Had a nice little day at college and then had a lecture. I was sat behind a student who looked like he had a wig, only until he turned round and talked to me I realised he was about ermmm 51 years old roughly, so I was very sympathetic with the wig. I don't understand why he is at this academy, it helps people to get into the music industry and he is way way too old and he would never look good on stage. Below is a picture I drew in my lecture of what I thought he would look like at the ACM awards.


Didn't do much tonight, just came home and went straight to the workout station (my bedroom). Worked out with Steve to some funky arse Marcus Miller

Love x

The long, long day...

Dean had to leave today so he thought he would walk to college with me and Steve. There wasn't much of a conversation going on between us as we we're all too tired. It was just like;

'lets go'

then 20 mins later at the station

'Well, alright, give us a call when ya get in'

I had a business lecture by some black guy who was called Jim, I don't think it was his real name. He was without a doubt the coolest black guy ever, knew everything and out-smarted everyone, he was so funny 'oi come on, shut up now your wrong'

We left college at 8 tonight and had nothing planned, Steve is moaning because he has pins and needles in his feet and i won't massage them.

My First Entry

My first entry.

This entry was meant to be done yesterday on my first day at ACM but as I was so busy I didn't have time.

The day started off with Matt, Steve and myself all going into college early to book some tuition with some drum teachers as they all go so fast. So we went all the way there 2 hours early (or 5 hours early for Steve and Matt) to find out we could have just stayed at home and phoned. So for the next half the day we just sat in Wetherspoons watching Steve try and connect to wi-fi in the pub. What a waste of time.

It was my first lesson today and on Mondays we have to learn a song and basically play it in front of an audience on Friday. But before I went into the class I saw some little band jamming who sounded pretty good, only until I looked at them and realised how ugly they all were. One had a beard bigger than his face. The lesson went on for 2 hours and really enjoyed it!

Dean Barber came round today to see how we're settling in and to see Steve before he goes to uni. Steve, Dean and myself all went to a club called 'Harpers'. What a club. Although the place was all too sexiest, only girls could sit down and dance on the platforms, when I tried I got pulled off by a bouncer who actually grabbed my spinal-chord to pull me. I found it hard to boogy after that.

P.S Rick Wright of Pink Floyd had died of Cancer today.












Shine on Richard Wright, our love goes out to you.
