Would you say I told you so?

Ok so I haven’t blogged in ages. I’m fully aware of this, and keeping this in mind, I have come up with a list of excuses that I hope the online world will acknowledge, and allow it/them to forgive me. I refuse to call the online world the ‘blogosphere’, Ivor Gable has forever ruined that word for me.

Ichi.

I was back in London. And I never do anything involving much work in London. I think of the seven days I had in London at the start of Easter, I was out six of them. Which is pretty cool huh? Good times were had.

Ni.

I then went to India. Goa to be more precise. I didn’t come into much contact with a computer out there. It was all cows and curries and (really cheap but delicious) beer, and a horrible horrible tummy ache. But it was really fun, I think it was undoubtedly one of the strangest places I’ve ever been to. By strange I mean, different to what I’m used to. But I loved it!

San.

I was then working at Bizarre Magazine. Back in London. It was all pretty painful, my official hours were 10-6 but I would spend about three hours a day travelling to and from work. I could have blogged then perhaps, but I am lazy! Working at Bizarre was also rather different from my everyday life. I didn’t pick up any new skills as such, but I learned all about the fetish scene that is out there. I conducted some great interviews with some tattoo artists, and wrote a 2000 word piece about the tree man. But most importantly, I saw how a big time magazine works. And it’s fascinating, but perhaps, not for me. Who knows!

Shee.

I’m now 21! I actually celebrated my turning of 21 in a variety of ways. On Saturday I had some friends over to my place, we got drunk and had barbeque food. I got hideously drunk, uhhh. Sunday, when I was still horridly hung over, me and ze family went to ze park to meet some of ze family friends in ze cafe. I barely wanted to talk the whole time, it was slightly miraculous I didn’t peeyuke everywhere. Then on Monday, when it was my actual birthday, I went with the family again, to an Italian place for food. I also worked that day, it was pretty fun. Got some interesting presents from Bizarre (I’ll let you imagine). And then Tuesday me and the family (you see how I love being with the family when I have the chance) went to see Lang Lang and Tan Dun at the Barbican. If you don’t know who they are, I would suggest doing a little research on Google. Especially Tan Dun – he did all the music for crouching tiger hidden dragon.

Go.

And now I’m back in Leeds, and have been back on the study horse. Today I read all about Chairman Mao and Joseph Stalin, interesting stuff. So I have a little more time to blog. Tomorrow the plan is more Uni work, and then a trip into Leeds to try and find clothes that will make look like Rufio. He’s the leader of the Lost Boys, from Hook. Yaknowwhatimean!? His get up is red and black, and a little homo-erotic. Sweeeeeet!

I feel it’s only necessary to add that my favourite song right now is Randy Travis – I Told You So. Not because I can relate to it, well I can but it’s not something I’m going through right now, but it’s so beautifully soulful. And the Carrie Underwood version is also the dogs – check it out!
