Good evening peasants.
It’s been a while since I’ve written a blog, but have any of you even noticed? Have you fuck! A fair few things have changed since my last entry, so lets create an uber-fun list of recent developments, yes? Firstly, I’m now single (boo-hoo). I’ve started a new University course, this time in Professional Broadcasting Techniques. This basically means that I have to branch away from Radio, and actually learn about televised broadcasting. You can see me being the new Jonathan Ross, right? Knew it. All I have to do is develop a speech impediment, befriend Russell Brand, and give a respected veteran actor a phone call, and tell him that I fondled his grand daughter. I can do that!
Actually, that’s about it for the changes. How terribly dull. Speaking of dull, the Conservative Party Conference has now finished in Manchester, despite the feeling that it only started yesterday. I was hoping for something particularly interesting to happen while they were here, like George Osborne riding a hooker down Oxford Road, but alas, nothing. Did I catch a glimpse of Lord Cunt himself, David Cameron? Nope. Did William Hague sit me down and give me a lovely bedtime story about Lady Thatcher? Nope. Nothing! The only interesting thing that I even noticed was a disgruntled Asian man shouting at one of the departing Tories, with words that no man could ever understand. Needless to say, I was disappointed.
I’ve moved into a new place (probably should have mentioned that in my ‘changes list’…fuck it). It’s a neat little flat in Rusholme, and yes, before you ask, I did indeed Christen my flat with The Smiths’ “Rusholme Ruffians” track. Probably not a great song to listen to, as it’s underlying story is of a fair in Rusholme, in which people were often stabbed and mugged. Gloomy! I’m yet to encounter this fair, thankfully, although there is a strange man that plays with a remote control car next to our accommodation every day. It’s one of those strange activities that is probably hiding his inner-insanity. He’ll kill someone one day, is basically what I’m suggesting.
The new course, well, where to begin? I’m studying within Media City UK, and I have lecturers called Baldwin and Jose. Need I say anymore? I don’t think so. Moving on.
I’m still yet to have cut my hair, although I feel as though the end is nigh for my curly locks. I have the urge to pick up a pair of scissors and just go to town on this bad boy, but I suspect that I may need a professional to do it. This week, my flatmate Laura, decided to put it into a ponytail (in the middle of a busy pub, might I add). Apparently I looked like Orlando Bloom, but I quickly laughed off that suggestion. I’m considerably better looking than Orlando Bloom.
It’s often said that when one door closes, another one opens (often linked to relationships…like every famous saying seems to be these days. Bloody teenagers). Whilst I can see the logic in this saying, I also believe it’s all entirely down to your own doing, and whether you feel ready for this new door. For some, it’s a case of leaving a rusty, wooden, boring door, to a brand new shiny, touch-screen lock door, which basically had all the things that the previous door didn’t (I’ve now grown sick of the word ‘door’). For others, it’s unfortunately the other way round. My only advice on this, for whatever it is worth to those that are reading, would be to do whatever makes you happy in the grand scheme of things. Nobody likes a revolving door, if you know what I mean.
I usually ramble on about what I think about current music that is out there, but I see no real point. I still dislike Adele. I still dislike Ed Sheeran (bloody daywalker). I do however approve of the latest Arctic Monkeys album, even if it has been hovering around for a while now. And the new Bombay Bicycle Club album, also a great listen. But none of this quite matches up to my excitement about an upcoming project that is being rumoured from Slick Rick. If you aren’t aware of Slick Rick’s work, then educate yourself now. Get on Youtube, and listen to ‘Children’s Story’. This is one of the founding fathers of Hip-Hop, and a storytelling genius. I can’t wait to see if he carries on from his early 1990’s storytelling lyrics, and incorporates current day events. But then again, I am a tad sad.
I haven’t been to the cinemas in ages, what’s up with that? I love the look of this ‘Drive’ film, and I’m determined to see it before it leaves the big screen. It just looks so slick, so cool. Just everything that you’d love from a film (not to mention a brilliant soundtrack). I also fancy the look of this ‘Friends With Benefits’ film. The wonderful cast, the impressive entourage of directors and producers behind it…all of that was a lie, I just wanna see if Mila Kunis gets her cuchi out. Does she? Don’t worry guys, I don’t mind a spoiler, so long as you provide a link? Lovely stuff.
That’ll do for this blog, as the time is 05:06am, and I feel that my bed is calling me (I’m literally hearing voices, and none of you care. Bastards, the lot of ya). Toodle-pip one and all!
