Its the most beautiful place in the whole fucking world

In note to the heading of this post:
The only way i actually remember how to spell 'beautiful' is from The Truman Show (which is a great, great movie), or some other Jim Carey movie. "Have a B, E, A, U-tiful day!"

Onto other news, my weekend has been alright. I wont talk about school because nothing has happened, except a bin exploding. Which was awesome.
Yesterday was the Ubung band rehearsal #2, which only lasted a few hours but was amazing. We played our hardcore song a few times, fixed it up a bit and yeah. Played more metal. More 'Keyboard Jam' (improved). Then the amazing thing is, we actually played two really mellow songs. All on our instruments, we just improvised two fantastic chillout songs, with solo's by everyone. It was great, but i guess you cant imagine much without hearing the recordings...new recordings should be up soon...ish.


I got to say, Saska and Luke are great guitarists, and Saska is also superbly good at drums and a bit of piano which i found out yesterday. Jordan is an insane drummer.


When i left Jordans place, i ran to the bus station with my bass, met up with this random guy (around the age of 50 or 55) and this young woman. Talked to them for a bit. Bus went to train station, caught the train with these two people and talked more.
The guy asked me to play a tune (I still had my bass). So i did, i played him a tune. That was good. Then he ranted on about sheep or something for a while to the young woman, i wasnt really listening.

Anyways, i got home and it was my mum's birthday get together at our house, which involved family and family friends, drunkeness and cards. Played the same card game for hours, i got to bed pretty late.

I now have Joel's mini iPod, cuz he got himself a new MP3 player. I uploaded a shitload of songs on it today (because i finally got it working) and now my iPod is just about full. Im satisfied. Very satisfied. Cheers very much Joel, your money is on its way if my parents pick up the slack.


Anyway, i hope you all had a great weekend. AND. If you look above, you'll see that i didnt say "shit", "fuck", "cunt", "dickhead", "crap", "asshole", or "damn"! Except, one "shitload" slipped out. And a "fucking".
Also, why do people explode by the sound of someone saying "cunt" or "fuck" or something else? Get the fuck over it, jeez.

Whats at the end of Satan's rainbow?

A big, echoing, "HELLO!" to everyone, and a big thank you for the six comments which pleased me, thankies very muchies.
Although, i do apologize that i had to leave Blogtown for a while, and it mustve been hard to have driven back to the same road over and over without any change. Im not on MSN, so ill blog for you. Ill blog more regularily if you send me flowers. Pretty ones.


Well, its old news now, but Ubung had a rehearsal last weekend! Woot. Me, Luke, Saska, Peady and Jordan all arrived at Jordans place, went downstairs into his MASSIVE room and jammed almost the entire day. We all got there at about 9 am and we jammed till 7 pm, but subtract about 3 hours because we pimped Kalista for a bit (Calista or Kalista, whatever).

Anyways, it was a fucking maaaarrvelous rehearsal, and we played 'our song' heaps and eventually got it finilized, and we also played a lot of Mettalica and System of a Down.
At about 5 pm, Saska had to go, and Peady left, so me and Jordan had a massive jam session for about an hour maybe. Playing a shitload of Primus, 'Cant touch this', a lot of funk. And a lot of other shit. It was awesome. And we all had a massive keyboard jam session in the end, that awesome because it lasted for about a half hour. More rehearsals coming soon.

Songs were recorded on an MP3 player, so the recordings are really dodgy. Our band rocks though, thanks to all the screaming fans out there. Better recordings should be up soon...ish.



Anyways, the next day there was a 'lads day out' which was just a day in the city. We ate fancy foods and shopped the fancy stores. Went to Minotaur (nerd central) for about an hour, and went other places and thats about it. Normal day it was, but the 'lads days outs' are always highlights of the year. Gotta love it.

MANIFEST IS COMING SOON!!!! *DROOLS*!!!!

Dont kill nipper.

First of all, cheers for Marty for sticking with me in the blogging industry the most. He made a good point on his most recent post that people dont comment anymore, which is a shame because writing up stuff in our own summarisation is a great read. It'd be swell to see a few of the old bloggers come back into the game. Anyways, check out Martys latest post in celebration to his blogging anniversary, sort of. Yeah :)

Anyways, i apologize in advance that my 'interest-factor' may not be quite as good this time. Im lacking in my vocab, and im rather tired. Lets just see how it goes.

A while ago me, Jordan, Saska and Hayden got into the studio one lunchtime, and decided to have a bit of a jam. At first we were like "wtf can everyone play" but by the end we played a few really awesome songs. We played "mushroom hunting - seatbelts", "groundhog's day - primus", "together on the sand - nofx" and this slap/improv song that me and Jordan came up with, and Saska and Hayden joined in with some awesome tunes to throw in. Man, it was a great expierience for me, especially when i got to get out the guitar and jam to "together on the sand".
Im not used to these jam sessions, but dudes i gotta say i love em. Those guys are great musicians aswell, they basically shit all over me =/

I cant remember much from school, but lets just say school is shit. This has been brought up by Martyman in his post aswell. I wake up in the morning wanting to just stay in bed, but i gotta get up. So i do, then i catch the bus to school (without music, i might ad) and begin the shite day. Schools is boring, every minuite of it, and classes are pointless because 99% of teachers dont put any effort into teaching, or they just dont care anymore. And we're exactly the fucking same, so it sort of evens out in a really sick way.

Lets just note: the stereotypical "omfg i hate school its so gayyy" is lame. I really do hate school because im gaining no real education that im interested in.
I havent got many problems with people though, i still love all my friends and all that soppy jazz, even though lunchtimes do appear to bore the shit out of me.

ANYWAY.

Last weekend, which was a few days ago, it was mumsies birthday and i got her chocolate (by request) and we had lunchies at Grandmama's place and that was it. The following day, i met Rosie in the early morning to venture around the city and be tourists, taking tourist photos. I wont put them up, a couple are on myspace. We had lunch and saw a few hobos, then we went back to hers for a BBQ night. Family friends were over, and the whole family got drunk and it was funny as, but these little kids gave us headaches. Great night though. I played hackysack with her mum.

I slept over and the next day i was driven back home and i took the day off to watch Black Books. The end.

Im not sure what else has happened, im rather tired right now. The formal is coming up, im not sure whos going, but i really want UBUNG to play there. Which is the new band i am in, one band that is actually progressing. It consists of me, Jordan, Luke, Saska and PD. Its awesome, more info about that later.

Cheers for reading, i might ad more into this post when i have the energy. I promise. Pinky promise.

Hooray for Havana

Oh. My. Fucking. God. I really miss hotdogs in batter. It's like...i arrive at school and i can smell them. I think about them in class. I go home on weekends, and i watch tv and start to think of where to buy a battered hotdog. Heaven on a stick.

Anyways.

It sure has been a while since i last posted, i do apologize, but its been a rough and/or boring last few weeks. Im sure you've all heard about the 3-day sleepver by now. It was absolutely nutso, great fun, good to have all the lads together for video games, endless junk food, and boozie-booze (or, 'scoochy' in the words ot Tom). I think ive already posted about this. Ah well, its a pretty big highlight.

DD is now famous. You've probably already watched it...watch it again.

We've all emerged from our caves (otherwise known as 'school holidays') and our eyes are blinded from the lights of school once more. Which fucking sucks for most people, mainly because everyones classes basically suck pretty bad. Im in all these new classes, and they're shit.
I would normally go into detail about how shit all the classes are, or how much of a closet lesbian Ms Hagli is, but nawww i wont. Goddammit.

First week is over of school, got good exam results so far (failed Maths though) and soon ill be back into my hotdog in batter habit, and the habit of getting bored in class and desperately trying to get attention from anyone nearby. Mainly by eating paper, often merging on regurgitating it. Im a pro, dont try it at home.

'Tis the weekend now! I wake up Saturday morning at about 9:30, go back to sleep for a bit more then watch some 'Mr Bean'. Eventually i meet up with Max, we go round to this new shop in Ringwood, but its EMO *barf* so we left. We saw Tess, Matt, Beef, Laura, Dav, maybe more, and we said a quick 'hey'. I think everyone knows Max by now, which is cool, seeing as though ive known him since we were like 5 or something. Max might be moving to our school. He'd better, mulluana is a shithole. Oh yeah, and i bought a Sex Pistols poster :D

IN OTHER NEWS: The Monosyllabics are dead. Or something like that. We made a couple of good songs, cheers to the true fans out there. But we just suck too bloody much. Knowing me and Max, we'll probably start up another shit band in a week or two. Record some more shit. It'll be horrible.

Emily Weavers 'fancy dress' party is tonight, and im not going because im not invited :( and im not turning up uninvited. Ah well. I hope you all have a great time :)

Have a good one everyone, i hope your all doing well,
>your pal Jimmy

#song of the week - misfits - dream lover#
Only cuz im listening to the song now. Wow, i havent used the ol' song of the week thing in ages. More to the fact, its pissing me off that Tom Brown thinks the misfits are emo. Misfits are fucking punk, dude.
