Please don’t go.
I only just learned all I know
about your hopes and dreams
expectations and fears
for all of our years
so stay right here
at least for 6 more months
If a time does come
when saying goodbye is the only way out
of this tangled line of broken hearts
and suicide notes
of broken bones and
the letters you wrote
then I can watch you walk away
safe in the knowledge we tried
we gave it everything we had
and nothing stayed inside
these bodies and these minds
In danger but alive.

Sit with me then, or do you need a yes from your friends?
It’s funny that you call them that
because they don’t know how much depends
on you staying right where you are,
Screaming your lungs out in my car
Teen drinking cos we know all the bars
where an ID will not be required
we’re drunk but we’re inspired
back me up here, let’s head back to mine
There isn’t a thought about the time
with our bodies safe from harm
You told me you’d never sleep in anyone’s arms
but you broke your rule that night
You told me how you aren’t worth the fight
But I’d give up everything for you
And I still hardly even know you
All I know is the way I feel when it’s you and me
You make me want to stay awake
You make it easier to believe
in a life where anything is possible
I never said this was logical.

I know I know. And I promised myself I'd never post poetry. I didn't wanna be one of those kids. But hey, I do write poetry. Or at least I did. I haven't in a while. ANYWAY look, I found this when I was going through my unnamed documents earlier and I realised that this one was kinda apt today. I must have wrote this about 3 months ago I guess. We'll miss you Liv! Well I will anyway! ^_^ It sucks to be losing so many people from our course. We've lost Rach, Shelle and Liv since the start of the year and that fucking blows. Especially Rach. I hope we don't lose anyone else. Even Patrick would be missed. For Patrick read: Tesco. It makes me think that the course is not exactly what people expect when they sign up. I dunno though I mean I don't know the kind of drop-out rate for other courses but we seem to have lost a lot since the start of year 1. Like ... 8? 10?! I dunno man but a lot. If anyone can remember exactly how many I'd be interested to know!

Before I forget, BIG big thank you to Joseph for making/letting me use his new song "Vultures" for my FMP! This is so so helpful especially as a few of the bands I've got in touch with about using their music haven't got back to me. AND what's even better is I have the absolute perfect places to put the track. It fits SO well. I couldn't have done it better myself. Literally. I can't play guitar very well at all and I most definitely don't have a voice like Joseph. Ahhh it's so relaxing. Dangerously so. You know you want to check his Myspace.

... You only ever live once
You only ever love once ...

Haha. Strange how I'd be inclined to disagree. I have a problem i know; in that I fall in love far too easily. Or at least, I fall for the idea of being with someone too easily. In my head I've been in love 3 times in my life. Strangely enough, they were/are all called Rachel. D'you think someone is trying to tell me something? Either way, things feel different this time. I think that might be because the feelings are actually reciprocated, which is never a bad thing. I'm so so happy someone finally took a chance and wanted me back. (thanks Skins for that line. I <3 Skins.) Christ I'm talking about love. I'm breaking all my rules here. The fact is I am very much in love. And it's awesome. Now that's quite enough of that!

Photobucket
This is a photo of my hand on fire. I discovered that if you put enough deodorant on, it doesn't even burn. So that's nice. Just something to do you know. The way I see it, you either watch TV or set yourself on fire. And at least this option makes you feel something. Certainly gets the heart racing. My coolness is tempered a little by the fact that I shouted "FLAME ON!" as I dropped the match on my hand though. Fantastic Four ftw. Anyway if all else fails I can blame films for this because I saw a nice example of hand-setting-on-fire in the film Me, You and Everyone we know. (If you haven't seen it you really should. It blew me away. It's low-key and offbeat but reallllyyy powerful. I love it. It's definitely in my top 5.)

My top 5 would probably be:
1. V For Vendetta - Probably the best film i've ever seen. The ending is just FILM GOLD
2. Juno - Love everything about this film. Especially Michael Cera.
3. Me, You and Everyone we know - Just watch it dammit
4. Rocket Science - "Have you ever felt like you could just burn the world down?" -"Every day."
5. Training Day/I am Legend. I JUST CAN'T DECIDE!!

Oh I've rambled on and said nothing again. There's a surprise. Liv I'll miss you. Joseph thank you. Rachel G I'm waiting for you. Watch the film. I'm happy right now so here's to you.

PhotobucketRUSTY SAYS: "I have a top 5 movies as well. All 5 movies on it are: Bear: The Untold Story. I made it with my friend Dusty. It's a biopic. Err it didn't get a very wide release though so ... just saying you might not be able to find it. Anywhere. Did you catch the soccerball scores from the other day boy those were some interesting scores hey? MMM. ROOOAAAGH!!"

The questions you will never ask

Author: Aaron KD Bourn / Labels: , , , , , ,

It's 3pm. It's raining. It's Monday. I'm sat in bed with the curtains open and my eyes closed. I'm writing an essay about applying analytical approaches to film. Hitchcock. The MacGuffin. I can't wait to get back to college. I'm listening to Taking Back Sunday and screaming along like it's the first time. There are papers that will decide my future sat on my bed. Stafford, Bournemouth, Stafford, Bournemouth. I've been hearing so much more lately, things I've never noticed before, I've just been picking up on every little sound - it's weird. I can hear the rain but I can't see it. I can hear everything. It feels like something big is going to happen but I have no idea what. This is the almost-calm before the almost-storm; this is the barometer rising and the severe weather warnings. Something big is going to happen. I can feel it. I can hear it coming. Oh the magic of strikethrough text. Feelings hidden but screamed out so loud. Saying everything and nothing. Hidden and dangerous. It's all about the subtext.

I am in a weird mood today. Everything will be fine I think once I see everyone again. I've had too much time on my own, just thinking about things, messing things up in my mind. It's what I tend to do when I'm on my own, which is probably why I spend so much time on MSN and stuff. I don't handle loneliness well. No sir. I spoke to Ruth on MSN. This is a blogspot success story I think! It was sehr intense. I don't know. There has to be some psychological reason for it I guess, but hey we've all been through stuff, my story is probably worse than some but not as bad as others and we can leave it at that. I haven't been to my hometown in around a year, is this a bad thing? I guess I'm the only one who can decide that. That place was killing me. There was nothing there for me, and I'm glad I got out when i did. The memories are still there ... but not a lot of them good. I feel more like myself here that's for sure, more able to be who I know I am, and not who I think I should be. You know I read the other day that we dream to fix experiences in our long-term memories, that is to say, we dream about things worth remembering. I wonder if this is true. I don't really want to remember some of the stuff I dream about, like that time I dreamed I watched Richard and Judy on my own for an hour. That was probably the worst dream ever.

I need to say thank you to Joseph as well because a little while ago he blogged about Bright Eyes [Bright Eyes may refer to: Bright Eyes Sunglasses, an Australian Sunglasses Retailer] well while that may be true wikipedia I'm actually referring to the band. A few days later I found myself imagining Conor Oberst's voice in my head before I fell asleep. I decided this was somewhat strange. Either way I realised I hadn't heard anything from Cassadaga or I'mWideAwakeIt'sMorning in far too long. I needed Bright Eyes back in my life. I'm currently listening to Landlocked Blues and realising how much I missed it. It's an anaesthetic. So thank you man!

If you walk away I'll walk away ...

It's 4pm. It's still raining. I'm sat in bed with my eyes open. I can't believe how long it's taken me to write this. I haven't even really written anything. I've got an interview at Stafford on the 4th March, we're driving down the night before. I love love love night driving/passengering. If anyone wants to come to Stafford and crash at James' place, there'll be space in the car. Random I know but something big is going to happen, and what if it's this? I pray for a good week this week, just so I can get back to where I was before this weeeeiirrd half term. I'll see some of you tomorrow. And hopefully others next weekend. It'll be great. I think I'm done. x

PhotobucketRusty Says: "I have a sore throat. That is not good for a Bear whose main attribute is roaring loudly! I don't know how this happened because I have only drunk this stuff i found called Vodka since Saturday. Aaron told me it was Russian for water but I don't know if i believe him because it didn't really taste like water. Infinity is a long time. It reminds me of this story my momma bear told me one day. a little bird moves a mountain of sand one grain at a time it picks up one grain every million years and when the mountain has been moved the bird puts it all back again that's how long eternity is. rrooaagghh *cough*"

Many thanks to Rusty for dealing with my last blog. I must apologise for not being around however I was suffering from some low-grade teenage heartbreak at the time, doing the whole song-on-repeat thing. However that has since been resolved by a very 'lame-romance-movie' scenario that, while kinda surreal, i hope will work out best for everyone concerned. She knows who she is and she'll probably read this so I hope she knows what it means to have her back ...ish. Anyway I am certainly much happier, if a little weirded out by the whole thing, and thank you Ruth for your kind words as usual you knew what to say even though you had so much more to think about than me. RIGHT on with the real business of today:

Today (no not really today but yesterday, today doesn't count as today yet) I went to London. That is the Capital of England everyone. It was the most shambolic London trip I've ever had I think, even worse than that time that me, Rach, Pat and J went to film SCD and ended up walking around Camden and just generally having a fantastic time doing nothing. That was a brilliant day. I miss Rachel. Rachel Thornton I miss you I do. Tom is out somewhere dressed as a pirate. He lost his eye patch. No self-respecting Pirate would be seen out without an eye patch. Rachel would know. Anyway God enough almost-nostalgia. I shall show you the day in London via the medium of ill-fitting photographs! Here goes nothing:

Low trees. Hazardous.

So that was that then. We went to the V & A museum, walked around a LOT, got told we couldn't go to places because they were too busy so they closed, felt like a survivor of some kind of apocalyptic event as we waddled through the crowd at South Kensington, had chicken, took (too)many photographs, had an ice-cream, had a stroll, watched a small kid with a large afro enjoy a water feature a lot a lot, debated if they ever dredge that fountain outside Buckingham Palace for cash, pretended to some tourists that the Queen was arriving in a helicopter, pointed at things, all in all we sort of did London, just really badly. BUT HELL it was a nice way to spend a Friday. Especially as the sun came out! The train journey home was the worst though! It was packed worse than canned fish and i had to rest my face on the train door and every time another train passed ours I thought the world was ending because it made a sound like KLAAABOOOMMMDDEDEDEDEDEEE and i was like 0_o. [INSERT PAUSE] "DID SOMEONE SAY INSERT PAWS??" Rusty get out. "Sorry." Oh apologies for the pause/paws there (not that you would have noticed it because this is text based rather than speech based so pauses only exist if you generate them yourselves in your heads! Maybe if I wrote it in ...) Anyway yes Colleen randomly popped up on MSN. Lovely! She's perhaps the funniest drunk I've ever known. Hmmm, it's close between her and J though. J more for vomit comedy.

So I'm sitting here at 2:42am. I have about 2 weeks worth of work to cram in to the next 3 days. I wish Bournemouth would have offered me an unconditional offer rather than the conditional kind, i think i may have felt a lot more relaxed about this whole FMP thing if they had. Oh yeah, Bournemouth made me a conditional offer based on DMM. I should be able to do that as long as FMP is not a complete failure. I need to cast an actress holy christ. Also need to send some work to ARU and talk to Stafford about interview dates. Needless to say though, Bournemouth has jumped out in front as my first choice. Is it bad that I don't even know exactly where Bournemouth is? I am so ridiculously underprepared for uni. I haven't been there, I haven't spoken to anyone about it, fuck this is most definitely the wrong thing to be thinking about at 2:48am. wow. Life-changing decisions not being made very well anyone? I think so!

I finished that book by the way. I read for like 2 hours tonight because i literally could not put it down (man that sounds so tacky but honestly it's an amazing book (not amazing in the way that say Shakespeare or J.D. Sallinger or e.e. cummings or elements of Camus is amazing, but for a modern novel pretty damn good)) - double brackets ftw. The end few chapters made me tear but not cry so hey I'm improving lol! fml I sure do cry for pointless reasons. But hey I don't waste my time with politics. Life is too short and we're almost dead. sorry that song just came on. (Lyrical Lies - Cute Is What We Aim For) I've gotten out of writing poetry for a while. I don't know why that is. Maybe it's a good thing. I guess it's partly because I write here instead. Having a blog saves lives, or certainly prevents scars. Good work Blogspot. wooo! Argh I'm tired. It's 2:59am. I got into London and looked at the big clock and it read 11:11. I thought it might be a sign. Of what I don't know. RIP Casey Calvert. I should go. x

PhotobucketRUSTY SAYS: "I thought he meants paws like Bear paws. I tried writing poetry once. Unfortunately I couldn't get to grips with Trochaic Octameter so I wrote a haiku instead.
Bears live in snow well
sleep while the world is cold
damn that was six
It's good right? It needs work I know but one day I will be an educated Bear and I shall know of all the rhyme structures. A Bear needs dreams. We should all have dreams; I'm just kind of scared of putting so much hope and weight of expectation on one dream that when it comes true there is no chance it can possibly live up to my Bearish expectations. Poetry ROOOAAGGH!!!

My lesson's learned

Author: Aaron KD Bourn / Labels: , , , ,

Photobucket"Hmm. Well hello everyone. Rusty the Kodiak Bear here. Looks like I'll be taking care of this one. I saw an interesting show last night about Bears. Well it was about Salmon technically but there were bears there, eating the Salmon. It made me miss home a little bit. I don't know what Aaron is doing but he seems sad. He has been listening to this one song a lot. I think he is going out tonight though so hopefully he will be happier with his friends. It's not very nice to feel alone. rooaagh. *sadbearfase*"

'Cos today, you walked out of my life
'Cos today, your words felt like a knife
I'm not living this life

But what do I know, if you're leaving
All you did was stop the bleeding
But these scars will stay forever,
These scars will stay forever
And these words have no meaning
If we cannot find the feeling
That we held on to together
Try your hardest to remember

'Cos today, you walked out of my life
(Stay with me, or watch me bleed)
'Cos today, your words felt like a knife
(I need you just to breathe)
I'm not living this life.

"Oh and I found an old Polaroid camera the other day. The er ... the button didn't work too good though, and i didn't think it had any film in, and in the end i got angry and ate it. Now every time i do a big bear sneeze i photograph my insides. I'm scared."

I don't know what to do and it makes me hurt.
I feel alive because of you but right now not in a good way.
You're so insecure. It worries me because I know you can't help it.
I love everything about you; every part of you except that part.
But that part is winning. Don't let it.
I don't know what to do.
I said that already.

I didn't mean to blog tonight. I just got a text and I needed some kind of release. Were it not for the lack of 8 pence of credit, this blog would not exist. It's such a ridiculous time for blogging even Rusty isn't around. I think he's reading some book or something. I dunno. Anyway ... I guess we'll see. Goodnight and good morning everyone. OH I'm reading a book at the minute actually, really good, called before I die. I haven't finished it yet but I would recommend it I think! It's sad. But very beautifully written. It reminds me of how Ruth writes a little. Anyway it's a really good book. Books books books. I should get to sleep I'm going slightly mad. Must brush my teeth. Sleep and hopefully dreams. Have a good today or tomorrow!
I am done. x

You light the match, I'll stick around

And I had these dreams in them I learned to play guitar
Maybe cross the country,
become a rock star
And there was hope in me that I could take you there
but dammit you're so young
well I don't think I care


Yeah so hey. Just had a really really nice weekend. Which was lovely! Tom's parents came down for the weekend and they acted like my family which was great. In fact, they were pretty much better than my family in that we went for a meal with them, and went around the shops and stuff. i always look forward to Tom's parents coming down. I swear they spend more money on me than my actual parents. My parents were always kinda crappy, without going into it I'm glad I don't have to deal with them on a regular basis anymore. But it's nice. Yes. Life is very good at the minute. Oh I thought I'd crowbar in a picture of me sans beard as of yesterday. Oh and of course I had to look emo, because that's the done thing right? Yeah you love it.
Photobucket
It's bigger than I expected it to be. (That's what she said whey.) yeah i know i can make it smaller but hey guess what I'm not going to lalalala. Oh and by the way Purple and Black is apparently the new thing. If you've been into Quiksilver lately, they're pushing it big time. That's why I also bought a new hat, a beanie-styled hat indeed, and that is for wearing when it's too cold to wear my purple and black trucker cap. Can't wait for the sun to arrive so I can crack out the shorts. That will be a hellacious day. Treasure hunt with J? I'm liking it. I wanna go to London and and find treasure and Joseph I want you to come and find treasure, and Narayan and Ruth and everyone let's go and find treasure. I don't know exactly what treasure but erm ... we can think of something right? We can do anything after all. But yes, David, Jamie, people, let's go to London sometime this week yes? Yes.

Also more good news when i got this form to get some kind of tax rebate. i was like 'wow someone is really looking out for me right now.' And that's always a good feeling. I don't want to get into some kind of existential debate here, as always, because that would just take too long to resolve but it's always nice to have that feeling that nothing is gonna go wrong. Much enjoyed. I hear Jordan got a tattoo on his dick. Good lad. Shark on penis. I always thought I should like to have myself a tattoo but er ... not there I don't think. I was thinking neck but it's a bit visible so to arms! Yeaah wanna get sealed up bruvva. I am worried about my hair turning into some kind of pseudo-mullet, which I do not want. i need straighteners! I am such a girl! I hope everyone who had someone yesterday had a lovely Valentines. This programme has many Polar Bears in and is certainly good. They are a good bear, certainly, but not a patch on Kodiak Bears I swear. I do hope I get the girl soon! She is certainly worth waiting for but I hope I don't have to for much longer. Let's get together huh?

I soon need to start thinking about sorting out my pre-production for my FMP, if anyone wants to provide me with free things that might help, such as music (Broseph??) or just pairs of hands that would be much appreciated. I would go so far as to say I would be forever in your debt. Hopefully not in a weird way! I'm done for this one. It was kinda pointless but I like to write so win-win? Or maybe just win. Whateverrrr!

PhotobucketRUSTY SAYS: "I spent my Valentine's Day in a bookstore. I couldn't find anything by bears. It's a shame. I settled for the Twilight series, secondhand of course. I've heard good things. But then again I don't even like Kurt Vonnegut so what would I know? I'm a bear I don't know books. I know Salmon. And er ... Pine trees. Nap time. ROOOAAAAGHHH!!"

I'm a wishful thinker with the worst intentions

Author: Aaron KD Bourn / Labels: , , , , , , , ,

Don't try to hide
The mistakes I made this time
But please try and listen
Cos I'm breaking my heart tonight
So you can see what's inside


Man isn't it strange how one day can change everything? God I was so worried Wednesday, it looked like things might be on track for a major fuck up, but today it's like wooosh a massive weight off my shoulders. It's nice not to have major things to worry about. I mean, I never really saw it as a problem in the first place but I guess some people don't share the same view on life as me. But whatever! So once again then, life is good, if at times a little stressful! Thanks you guys for the comments on my last blog. Dave and Colleen and that person I don't know, many thanks. I really do have the bestest friends. Has everyone seen Joseph's new song? It's beautiful. I like it so much I don't even want to swear when I say how good it is. If you haven't heard it you should probably listen to it here. I'm sure he wouldn't mind. So here I am blogging when i should be heading to college. The only problem with that is, as I've said before, Key Skills sucks the most ever. I just don't see the point of it. Anyway we're not here to get into a key skills debate. Not today sucka. I'll probably be at college later anyway, gotta really get my head down and work on this powerpoint for the next one and a half hours or so. SO OMG IT'S LIKE TOTALLY FRIDAY THE 13th!! I HOPE NO BAD SHIT GOES DOWN?!?! Also I'd kinda like to go see that movie. Rob Zombie's Halloween remake wasn't bad so maybe this will be ok ... It's produced by Michael 'Moar asploshuns plx' Bay though so who knows.

Skins last night was awesome again, although I'm always gonna say that. It was kinda sad at the end but er ... I didn't cry, unlike some people. But it was nice to see Cook being the (sort-of) good guy for once. Kinda. Well he tried. I like Cook. Poor Effy. My cousin Steve hates Skins, he's kind of a douche like that. Hey I think this is going to be my earliest ever blog. How nice! What isn't nice is the fact that sometimes videos don't work in powerpoint, and sometimes MS Office trials run out and you have to use some shitty sub-standard version of office that doesn't quite match up. I've got my headphones in but I'm not listening to anything. I shall remedy this. Brb. Yay! Brand New! Hmm I kinda want to get out of here for a while, over half term maybe. Anyone wanna go anywhere? London on the coach for £8.50 return? This place is getting too familiar and i don't like it. We could leave tomorrow. I just want to see something new. It snowed again yesterday by the way. Last night it felt like driving through somewhere much more impressive than England. We were sliding all over the place and nearly crashed twice. Tom's car is ridiculously bad in the snow. Fortunately we got out alive and went to everyone's favourite supermarket chain. Chocolate milk is really lovely don't you think? It's nice on the throat too, which reminds me I'm currently rather ill. Not a specific ill, just one of those all over kind of headachey, throat hurty, cough, etc things. HEY ALSO wish Colleen good luck with her interview at Southampton. You'll be great my loverrr, no worries.

Oh gosh I'm getting all caught up in this powerpoint. I don't know why, I could just cut college today. I am justifiably ill. detailed comment on target audience including demographically information and suitability of FMP idea. What does that even mean? Demographically information?! 'sake. I DO NOT WANT THIS. Oh man and all pre-production has to be done by the end of half term. And that Hitchcock essay. And there is that Lina work but I don't have a clue about that. I'd better wrap this up so I can concentrate on my powerpoint. Please someone say they wanna do something over half term. Valentine's tomorrow. To everyone who has someone, I hope you have a lovely day. To everyone who doesn't, well it's all a waste of money anyway right? RIGHT?! pfffttt fml. I need her nao!! I am done. x

PhotobucketRUSTY SAYS: "Hello boys and girls. Hello Ruth and Colleen. You are my new friends. I would not like to be bear-napped though I don't think. I once spent a Valentine's Day stuck in a tree because my friend Dusty dared me to climb it and then I couldn't get down. I didn't really think about it at the time. It wasn't very fun. The point is, there's more than one day in the year when you can tell someone how much they mean to you. Why don't you do it today? ROOOAAAAGHHH!!"

Sorry for the time I said too much

Author: Aaron KD Bourn / Labels: , , , , , , ,

postsecret Pictures, Images and Photos
I thought I had a good idea what I was waiting for. Now I'm not so sure.

Christ, these past two posts have become so generic emo I'm extremely disappointed in myself, but they appear to provoke comment which is pretty amazing. I like to write and it makes me super happy to know that people like to read this and it actually makes them think about things. Awesome. Keep it up me. And you guys! Thank you for comments! Isn't it a lovely feeling to have comments? Yes indeed.

Colleen is going to bed in ten minutes fucking hell now this is pressure, especially when my keyboard doesn't seem to be working very well. So yeah, things have changed a little I guess. I try to be happy you know, to look at life with a positive outlook, that's essentially my thing, because I hate being miserable. It leads to depression and depression leads to bad times and scars and memories that I don't wanna be reminded of. So this is why I try to stay happy! It's usually pretty easy because my friends are amazing, and my life is pretty ok too. But at the minute things aren't great. And it will come as a surprise because I lie. I say yeah I'm good, but that's only because talking about it makes me think about it, which makes me depressed. And you know the drill with that. Shit this is drifting off again. Things are gonna be ok though. Why worry about what you can't control I guess is the message (to myself.)

I am constantly reminded of the fact that I can never seem to say the right thing. I must work on that. I had to get the MS office trial again earlier because mine conveniently ran out on the day i wanted to start work on my big freakin FMP presentation. fml. But I did, and so I shall be working heavily on that tomorrow. My life is full of work that I have no idea about at the minute, which kinda sucks because one day it's all gonna be jew and I'm gonna be like 'Shit son I didn't realise this work existed.' You wait and see. I just wanna get to half term so I can sit around and maybe do stuff without this hanging over me, the whole I-never-know-if-there's-any-work-due-in-until-the-day feeling. But I hear Dave is the same too so woo. He had a bad interview at Failmouth. Unlucky Dave but I guess that's feminists for you (long story.) Mini Smarties were half price at Tesco so i bought like a thousand.

Excitement in life is good, even when it's a bad kind. So let's have some excitement please. i would like to be one of those people who just does things, I try to be you know, but sometimes i kinda suck at it. You know that advert right, the one for er ... clearasil maybe? where that greasy biker kid is like 'hey you (insert girls name) can I borrow your lipstick?' and she's like 'uuuh i am stupid' and he's like *mack* Yeah i wanna do that, but maybe in a less weird way eh? It's a good line though, fair play to the guy.

There's something wrong with me. I've had like 3 beers and my eyes are going. Fuck sake I need to man up here. This blog was totally pointless, I'll admit I just did it under pressure from Colleen, I was gonna blog but then I realised (as usual) that I didn't realllyyy have anything to say. But that doesn't matter does it because that's what blogging is all about. Which is lucky!! Mine and Steve's friend from the homeland is coming down tomorrow, which will be fun, because he's cool. Good old Rob. It's always nice when you're reminded that people haven't forgotten about you, because it's so easy to lose people if you don't try. Friendships don't just happen. You have to work at them. Eventually you find out who's worth the effort I guess.

Good luck to people with their things! I see Lavinia has a blog now. It's something alright. "I made Hannah cry by wearing shoes to college." (non-sequitur.)
I'm done with this shambles. x

He's great, but he sure is pretentious. I mean I like being free as much as the next bear but come on Albert gimme a break. ROOOAAAGGH!!"

Don't act like you can't see me darling

But I can't.

Everything changes. You know, people say that you can't change, that no-one ever changes, but that's not true. Everyone changes. Maybe you don't realise because you've changed too. We're not 15 anymore. We can't sit around at the park, drinking White Lightning, playing shitty dubstep on our phones, smashing up the tennis courts, throwing up and not caring. We're 19, we're 20, we're fucking adults. If we throw up now it makes us a bad person. wtf. We're going to university, we're going to work, we're moving away from everything that makes us feel right. This sucks but this is life. And this is change.

I love where we are now. College is awesome. My friends are the best friends I could ever ask for. From where I was then, back in 07, alcohol, Konstantine and sharpener blades, to where I am now, that's change, but it was change for the better. And now I don't think anything could get better than this. I have everything I could want (almost ^_^) but it's just like ... I'm afraid of how the decisions I'm making now are going to affect the rest of my life. And I don't like that feeling. Sure I guess I have dreams, hopes for the future, things I wanna do with my life. But not now. It all feels like it's too much too soon. I don't even know.

I have homework to do but it's all fucking nonsense. I don't know what half of this stuff means. I don't feel like myself. What the hell is going on. Why is Tom Cruise shouting on the television? My hair keeps getting in my eyes. I wish I was a Kodiak Bear. Speaking of Kodiak Bears, I thought of a new feature. Man this is getting like daytime drama.

PhotobucketRUSTY SAYS: "Don't listen to Aaron. He's a silly. Follow your dreams kids. Even if you fail, man at least you tried. Sure you fucked up but you went for it. You said yes to life. You should always say yes to life. ROOAAAGH."

YAY! Internet has resolved it's issues, photobucket is running smoothly again, and now ladies and gentlemen it's time. Oh yes it's time. Time for Japanese-Food-and-Drink-Extravaganza NUMBER ONE! SUPER KUWAII!! ^_^ There are probably other things I should be talking about, but they can wait because this was one magical event guys and girls! Check it:
Photobucket
So basically I'm gonna take you on a magical mystery tour of all this bizarre food and drink, plus I've numbered the items for ease of reference (because I'm nice like that.) So onwards then, I think I'm turning Japanese I really think so!!

Vamino Soydrink - far left. This wasn't good. Actually, I can't imagine anyone in the world liking the taste of this. It was very easy to describe at the time, it tastes like liquid sawdust. And that's not a good taste. It's like ... cream-coloured water with the luxurious hint of dry wood at the back of the throat. Not recommended. Bad memories. 1/10 just because it exists i suppose.

AYAZAKI BBQ UDON -centre. Big and purple. Yeah now we're talking!! These were like big chewy noodles that looked like worms; especially when you put the little sachet of powder on them, who knows what was in it but it made them taste nice which is always good. I followed the advice of the packet which declared "You please add meat or ham or vegetables or other foods for your taste" and put a nice bit of steak in there, which made it super tasty! But it sure was filling! I had to throw it at Jack Black. (LOL?) 8/10.

Trendy Seaweed Rice Snack - just popping up behing the BBQ UDON. Hahaha these things were like the worst ever. Man they tasted like plank with smelly green stuff. Actually I kinda liked them, but Steve and Tom did not. They were a bit like those salt and vinegar sticks in size and shape, but unfortunately didn't taste like them. they tasted like musty seaweed, and they were made of puffed rice like a rice krispie. I just don't know what to think! All in all a baffling product. 4/10.

Braised Eel - right of BBQ UDON. I really didn't know what to make of these. They definitely weren't repulsive, well the smell was, and they looked pretty awful, but they had a strangely ... ok taste. It was like someone had taken some sardines or whatever fish you get in those little cans, dredged it in really heavy sugar and then tipped a load of brown over it. They were more like an eel lollipop than anything else! Weird stuff! But at least i managed to eat some; a success in my book! n.b. I did later regret it because i felt a little sick. But hey! I will award the braised eel 6/10.

Demae Ramen - far right. Well these little beauties were always gonna be tasty. Think super noodles but with Japanese writing. But, better than super noodles because they not only had a little sachet of powder to crack on, but also a little packet of some kind of oil/sauce! It was red and stained my fingers but it sure was tasty. If you like noodles, track these beauties down. they actually tasted of what they were supposed to be (I mixed a sesame flavoured packet with some kind of fish flavour. It tasted like fish and sesame.) And only like 47p or something, so much cheaper than super noodles, and even more superer. You just can't go wrong! 8/10.

Lotte Tataya Bears - front left. WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW!!! These were the actual best things in life!! OMG OMG they were so tasty. I knew the bears would come good for me. I was so happy with them I took several more photos!
PhotobucketPhotobucket
Just look at them. Awwwwh. It made me sad that they forced me to eat them by being so damn tasty. Sure they were pricy (£1.22) but that's a tiny price to pay for the fun and wonder of eating such a marvellous bear-shaped treat! And all the pictures on the actual biscuits are awesome. Like, bears in different professions! I think also they are actually making money to save Koala Bears, which is also very very cool. I went to the website actually, to see if I could find out anything else but unfortunately all i got was this:
Photobucket
And the only words I can make out are 'KOALA NO MARCH' which is nice but who knows?! I give them 10000000000/10!!!'!11!

So onto any other business:
I has none. Gonna go out for dinner today, well, lunch I guess? But yeah, should be good. I'm surprised actually that I haven't managed to blow all my money on pointless shit yet! Woo! Go me! I was watching series one of Skins with Tom on DVD yesterday, that's actually where the title of this post comes from, not TBS this time. It was actually quite inspiring that speech, considering it was written for a teen drama about sex and drugs. Good work writers! Unrealistically poignant speeches ftw!! Gooooood.

Also welcome back to the Prague kids, nice to see the blogs back in full working order after that brief hiatus. Katie, you're letting the side down get on it! But yes it's been nice to hear the stories and see some lovely photos, I'm not really jear louse about missing it; a lot of good stuff happened to me here that probably wouldn't have if I'd gone to Prague. So I guess c'est la vie. Good to see people getting interviews and such for uni. this is very big things! I need to decide when to go to Stafford for my interview, I've been so caught up with my Bournemouth script and etc that I completely forgot about my first choice offering me an interview! Heck. no. agree to disagree.

That's probably all I've got time for. I'd better go do stuff. At least it's stopped snowing! I'm done. x

oh p.s. Tom keeps telling Steve we haven't paid the Gas bill and Steve is all like super-panicky about our Gas being cut off. He paid a while ago but this is funny as hell. LOL.

non-sequitur rant + bonus features!

Author: Aaron KD Bourn / Labels: , , , , , ,

@Joseph: AGREED.

This snow. This frozen hell water. Man. It was fun before, now it's just annoying. I hate slipping it's the worst. I also hate turning up to college when it finally does decide to open, only to spend twenty minutes there with ONE OTHER PERSON!! (admittedly she was a lovely person. OR SHOULD THAT BE LIVLY?? (lol)) And then get told that college had to close for safety reasons! FUCK. The brief amount of Key Skills I experienced was actually quite a laugh. Anthony Kila is a hero. All we did was listen to Bob Marley and sit around. Three Little Birds ftw.
What an actual pointless week this has been. 3 days of college, 2 cancelled, 1 skipped by me and everyone else. Fucking queef. AND to make matters worse, Tom crashed his car on the way to pick me up!! Nothing too bad, just a ding and an exchange of details but still. Bummed. And it's still snowing. Sideways. MAN. Earlier it was ridiculous. I couldn't even see when I went out it was snowing so heavy. I guess you could call it a WHITEOUT. That's not a pun, that's actually a thing. I don't know what I was going for there. SO we came home. It took an age because the traffic was moving so slow. People were having fun though, and why not? SNOW DAY WAH. fml.

Bonus Features part 1.
Oh yeah also, I was interested to read Narayan's blog yesterday. I was very happy to hear from him, I thought it was perhaps the lack of wireless in Prague that messed him up and indeed this was the case. But anyway, it was nice. Also nice (not nice but ... reassuring? I dunno) is the fact that Prague isn't all it wasn't cracked up to be. Still, I hate it when I miss out on in-jokes, seeing as in-jokes are one of my very favourite things. Meh oh well. I have a feeling that friendships may change ever-so-slightly after Prague, not just between the people that went, but between them and the people who didn't. For example, why do I feel so close to Narayan all of a sudden??! Jeez sorry man. He is a very inspiring person though. I mean, Narayan is someone i think who can do anything that he wants, and succeed at it, and that is just very inspiring is all. It's still snowing.

Bonus Features part 2.
Someday soon I will do one of the things I've wanted to do for a long time. And what that thing is is to buy lots of Japanese food from our favourite multi-national supermarket chain, and attempt to cook and eat it with no idea what exactly it is. I spotted some prime targets today including AYAZAKI BBQ UDON and TATAYA BEARS. I especially like the idea of Tataya bears, whatever they turn out to be. i hope it's not real bears because that would be cruel. I like bears. Especially those ones that are the biggest ... Kodiak bears maybe? hold on. Yeah Kodiak bears. Man i love those guys. I wish i had a friend who was a bear, like on Altered Beast you know? It'd be cool to hang with a bear i think, and his big bear arms, like 'ROOOAAGGHH get out of it!!' that's what he'd be like. I'd call him Rusty, or maybe Dusty? I dunno.

Photobucket
Rusty: "Awright?"
Me: "It's still snowing!"
Rusty: "Bloody hell. ROOOAAAGHHH!!"

Bonus Features part 3.
If you've ever seen Fast and The Furious: Tokyo Drift then you'll know it has a super kuwaiii soundtrack, which is always important for pleasing the Japanese fanboys and fangurls ^_^ but yes (Man this is becoming a very Japan-centric post. Sorry about that everyone) Tom downloaded the soundtrack yesterday and it's become a fast favourite in the car. The Teriyaki Boyz stuff on that album is ridiculous, but also good at the same time! Especially the first track good heavens! Here is a link to their website, in Japanese of course I think you may enjoy it, they do a lot of work with Pharrell Williams too. Go Japan!

Bonus Features part 4.
I love this video awoooooooo Arby n' the Chief FTWWWWWW!!!

"on lief Arbitur, on lief"

And I do believe that is all from me! I am done. x
p.s. it's still snowing waaaaaaaaah

It's times like these where silence means everything

Author: Aaron KD Bourn / Labels: , , , , , ,

Can't you, can't you feel it rolling off your lips,
tensing up your shoulders,
C'mon say it is ...
Well it's love (It's love)
Make it hurt (I deserve it)


Hmm bit of a bizarre day today. Woke up ridiculously early, like 3:33 am (I love that as a time, isn't it glorious? All times with alliterative numbers -if that is a real thing (I know it's not because by definition the word 'alliterative' refers to literature. Christ, brackets within brackets)- are awesome.) And and yes, it was snowing again. I was like 'Oh crap, there goes college.' So I slipped back off to sleep, not easily, but I got there in the end. I woke up again at around 7:11. This time is not as glorious. But it is essential. Anyways, I got up and it had snowed ... a little? I mean, not a lot, not enough to close a college, or at least it shouldn't have been, but it was. I checked the CRC website and sure enough the place was code red. Fuckers. I went downstairs and took a photo. It's a nice photo but don't let the prettiness of everything distract you from the fact that there really is not much snow. ANYWAY rant over. College should be open more.
Photobucket
So yeah?
After I discovered I was gonna be at home today I went to search for breakfast. Here's what I found:
Photobucket
Yeah that's right, Cookie Crisp cereal with Tesco Finest channel island milk ... eaten out of a saucepan. Always classy. It's not my fault, we has no bowls!! Someone has stolen them all. I blame Finlay McIrish.

So yeah, I sat around in bed for a while this morning, working on my script to send off to Bournemouth. I managed to get it finished which is nice, just reeled off like a post-apocalyptic comedy. I dunno. I was quite happy with it. I'll give it to Johannes to have a look over, see if he thinks it's ok. Let's hope it's enough to secure me an interview or something?? After that I headed to our favourite multi-national supermarket chain for some dinner. In the end all I did was stand around looking at magazines for about ten minutes because TOM CALLED ME UP! Here's how the conversation went:

ME: "Hey Tom"
TOM: "Hey you wanna get dinner?"
ME: "Boots meal deal?"
TOM: "If you want"
ME: "Woooooooooooo!"

So yeah then I/we did that. Tom had some bank debacle, I stood around texting my girl ;) I could think of worse ways to spend the day to be honest. I am so happy with how that is going right now. Gosh you know, I didn't think I could be properly properly happy with a situation like this (call it relationship if you want) but I actually really am! And it can only get better the way I see it. Life is very very good right now, and it's all because of her.

SO it's a Thursday. Skins tonight, gonna be watching. A lot of people are saying this series is nowhere near as good as the first 2 series. Bullllllshit. I love the new characters. Cook, who no-one is supposed to like, is still my favourite character. He's just written so well. Man I'd love to write for Skins. Everyone should watch it. NOW! Not now but in an hour. I like to point to the sky. I like snow but only in the sunshine. I want to hold hands with her right now, silently, just because we can.

I'm done. x

A lot can happen in five hours

Author: Aaron KD Bourn / Labels: , ,

Hey, Hi, not a real blog this one (hence the lack of TBS-influenced title and random lyrics that should be occupying this space,) just thought I'd mention this new album I got hold of today.
It's called 'The Sound of Bassline Vol.2' Yeah I know right? Madness. I mean I like heavy bass lines, but usually only in moderation, out on a Friday I can't get enough but day to day I'm not an avid listener. But fuck, it was crazy. Some of the breakdowns are epic. Like WAAA WAA WAAA WAWAAAA and all that, you know. Anyway, if you want a little advice on the picks of the album, here's a few to look out for (maybe download. Legally of course!)
I'll do them in no particular order.

-Dizzee Rascal Feat. Calvin Harris & Chrome 'Dance Wiv Me' Agent X Remix
-Skepta 'Rolex Sweep' Jamie Duggan Meets Da Booda In Yer Face Mix
-Steve Angello & Laidback Luke Feat. Robin S 'Show Me Love' Dub Mix (I wish this was longer, it's ridiculously good.)
-Natasha Bedingfield Single Delinquent Remix (I didn't expect this one to be any good but my gosh! The breakdown is sick. Just like WAAAAAP WAAA WAAAA. It makes you wanna dance which is always a good thing!)

So yes. Just keeping you updated. Man this was a lame post. Must do better!

This is what living like this does

Author: Aaron KD Bourn / Labels: , , , , ,

I am the cause to all your problems,
shelter from cold. We are never alone.
co-ordinate brain and mouth.
Then ask me what it's like to have
myself so figured out.
I wish I knew ...

Brand New. We are all Brand New. I bought chocolates for myself, only because they were half price, but still. Not good. I ended up sharing them with Steve and Sarah, not Tom because he's out playing squash. I think it's pretty safe to assume I won't be sharing Valentine's day with anyone this year. Again. But things are good! It's awesome to nearly have someone. To ALMOST have someone I guess. But still, yes. I'm looking forward to new things and new people, new places and faces. I pretty much just stole that straight from one of Narayan's previous blogs, but it's true. Relationships always bring news things, and all of a sudden everything is very exciting! Wooo! OMG i thought 2 Girls 1 Cup was bad. 2 Girls 1 Finger ... Jesus christ. The Japanese get up to some freaky shit. Don't watch it if you're eating, or easily offended, in fact not just easily offended; don't watch it full stop. It's one of those that haunts you. Eugh.

I wish Narayan would blog from Prague. I kinda wanna know what I'm missing.
Prague Pictures, Images and Photos
It looks so good. But then again looks can be deceiving. I mean, look at me right? I don't know exactly what I mean by that but I am probably deceptive in some sort of way. Maybe you think with my trucker cap, fingerless gloves, safety pins and jet black fringe over my eyes that I'm some kind of emo. Yeah that'd be about right. Hmm. Ok that was a bad example. Fucking hell I don't really like cricket. I wish I had something better to do than sit here. I WISH I WAS IN PRARGH. Everything comes back to money. You know whose fault it is? Rachel. Rachel freaking Thornton. I blame her entirely for the fact I am here instead of there. I thought she was staying at college so i decided not to go, planning to hang with her but then guess what? She fucks right off, jacks college in altogether and that was that. No Rachel, no fun times, no Prague, no no no nothing. So I'm sat here eating Dairy Box, watching cricket i don't care about, listening to Salter laugh like a cross between a gypsy and a mouse, and a cat being strangled. fucking hell. I guess this is what living like this does.

Hit Pizza Hut earlier with Tom. It was nice, you know, like Pizza is. And some bottomless 7-up. We had some buffet. the pasta was rather good. Tasted like cauliflower cheese. Which i like. And there was a parmesan grater there and you had to do it yourself and er i think i broke it. Sorry Pizza Hut. Blue Cheese Dressing is my absolute favourite! If I was American i'd eat it all the time.

Om nom nom nom nom nom

Ok so apparently it's gonna snow again tomorrow morning, like 4 til 10 something like that. That might be ok but it also might suck. I kinda don't want college to be cancelled again cos I have plans to hang with Liv and stuff, and I wouldn't mind seeing Dave and Paul and Shelle and everyone. I mean, I'm missing the Prague kids, but I miss those guys too. Daaaaave!!! (MOD -7:47am the next day: It snowed again and College is cancelled. FML.) My feet are excited at the prospect of the weekend. I don't know what I'm gonna be doing but I hope it includes going out ^_^ Maybe have some kind of reunion meet-up with the Prague kids, even though it's only been a week lol. Keyboards are cool. Taking pictures of keyboards is fun. GOOD HEAVENS I need to start my script for Bournemouth. If anyone has any ideas for it, based on these few titles:

Looking for the truth is not always wise
Pray that your greatest wish is not answered
Friendship comes with a price tag
The generation gap

Then please tell! I've got little ideas for spots of dialogue, but no idea how or where to fit them in to any of these titles. Ruth help me!

I think that will be all! Done. x

Open arms reject assuming hands

Author: Aaron KD Bourn / Labels: , , , , ,

Hey now, the past is told by those who win
My darling, what matters is what hasn't been
Hey now, we're wide awake and we're thinking
My darling, believe your voice can mean something


Leona Lewis sounds like this: EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. mmm. A lot of talk lately about that girl. I talked about her before, she wanted her boyfriend to cheat on her so she had an excuse to break up with him. Well he didn't, but she did. (Break up with him that is.) Which kinda sucks for him. He's a great guy, supports a cunty football team but still, gotta lotta time for him. I don't know what is wrong with her. Every time she has something good she ruins it herself. Finds problems that aren't there or causes them. There's something wrong - in her head or her heart. I find myself wishing I could fix her because people shouldn't live like that; sabotaging the best things they have for no good reason. But there are occasions, very rare I'll admit, but there are occasions where words don't work. Not even mine! I KNOW! Action is what is needed in this case, and I'm not the man for that job. She knows what she wants; what she needs, but she seems afraid to go after it. Like she's afraid to be anything other than what people expect her to be. I hope she finds what she needs, I really really do. I'm writing in short sentences here, that's never good lol. Just ... People can be anything they want. You'll never know how your own story ends if you follow everyone else.

Reminds me of a song. A lot of things do these days. Here I am sat inside watching Doctors, fuck my life. Don't get me wrong, I quite like Doctors, but I wish I had something more useful or meaningful to do. I might eat a KitKat. Oh yeah! I got an interview at Stafford, either the 28th Feb or the 4th March. Not sure which I'm gonna go for yet, I guess I'll have to consult with James; as he already lives up there then we might meet up or something yay! Also on the university front, Bournemouth want me to send them a fresh script that I've knocked up before the 12th I think it is, so I should really start on that soon! University - Big deals! It's real life and it's fucking coming up fast. I am nervous. But I am ... excited? I think that is the right word. I wanna play some Tony Hawk's. (Non-sequitur ftw - just for Ruth ^_^) Pretty worried that I haven't actually had any offers yet. Not even from Anglia Ruskin! Jeez. I should have applied to Lincoln. Colleen was straight in there. I miss my hometown. I miss football. I miss a lot of things but I think I also have a lot to be thankful for right at this moment. Like the fact we might soon be getting a new fridge-freezer from the estate agents! YAY! Now that's big. What's so great about being an adult anyway? Sure we can have sex and smoke drugs, but we can also put so much meaning, pour so much hope into a single dream that when this dream is finally achieved it can never possibly live up to expectations ... That makes me sad.

I got Skins series 1 and 2 boxed set this morning too. Skins is fun. Cassie remains my favourite ever character. I think it's true that some people just need people. If you've ever seen Frank Darabont's 'The Mist' you'll know just how gut-wrenching cinema can be. The ending of that film makes me almost physically sick to my stomach. Has anyone else noticed how every new movie seems to be coming out on the 6th February? The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, He's Just Not That Into You, Friday the 13th (the remake) and that one about the Dog that has super powers. ... Benjamin Button looks damn good. Brad Pitt is sometimes pretty great right? yeah I think he is. RIGHT I'm gonna play some Tony Hawk's, shred some kickers and etc. I don't know what that means. But it sounds cool right? yeaaaah man. I think the gang finally got to Prague today, or are on the way now. And i think they're staying an extra day too. Oh yeah, I skipped college day. According to Dave, so did everyone else. Fucking ridiculous that we're supposed to go in to do real lessons anyway, 4 of us or whatever. There is literally NO point. Eugh. Oh well, Wednesday free. Gonna maybe try and go to Pizza hut for the classic buffet. Running out of cash fast though and I still need to pay for that trip to Stafford at some point.

Hmmm i think that's all for now. Thank you to all my new followers! I love youuu! Done. x

Breaking from tradition: That's snow joke

Author: Aaron KD Bourn / Labels: , , , , , , ,

I got some special lyrics for you this time, written by me. Here's how it goes:

Fuck, look at all that snow
it's cold but it's pretty awesome
Shit man it's really cold especially on my face
Later it will be warmer indoors
But less fun!

This country is fucking ridiculous. 2 inches of snow and everything goes to hell. I can't ... I mean how can a small amount of frozen, powdered water render the capital city useless, close airports, ruin transport links ... I just don't understand. I mean, in other countries that exist such as Finland, Iceland, Russia, Norway, even parts of Chile, I can't imagine they have this trouble every time it snows. No-one would be able to work ever, or get anywhere, and that would just be silly. Just like this country. Fucking hell. Shops that were INDOORS were closing because of the weather. WTF?! This is madness. (This is England.) etc. And Prague got fucked up. As soon as it started snowing heavy at like 3am, the writing was on the wall. I'm not entirely sure what's going on, but I think they're going tomorrow now? I need confirmation of that though. BUT on the plus side, me and Tom built a kicker last night/early this morning and I took some awesome photos of him shredding the shit out of Midsummer Common. Take a looksee:
Photobucket
Photobucket
Photobucket
Yeah I could be a pro right? And so could he probably. Snowboarding is so cool ^_^ This was such an awesome night. If you've never mashed together a kicker in minus 4 so your mate can catch about 4 feet of air over a bin and then fall over, you've never lived.

James and James couldn't make the journey home today cos of the snow, so we hit town again. Had some laughs in the snow. Cold laughs, but laughs nonetheless! I bought a new bag, that was yesterday's news, and I was looking for a hat to match, because you gotta match accessories in this day and age right? Yeah man. Didn't find one unfortunately. Billabong failed me today. I dunno. I might have enough hats. Who the hell is Daniel G Thomas? (non-sequitur and I apologise.) Outside, Tom hit me on the head with a giant snow blob and then it looked like i was wearing a spike on my head. Facebook will probably be carrying a photo at some point in time. Check me out what up. I wonder if college is gonna get cancelled this week? It's almost pointless anyway, and now with this snow, not only pointless, but DANGEROUS! lol. fucking hell it's pathetic. It's just frozen powdered water.

I got a disappointing Boots meal deal today. The best part was the crisps. FUCKING HELL GRAHAM! (non-sequitur again.) So yeah, it was the whole Walkers design-a-flavour thing going on in Boots. I opted for Onion Bhaji out of that, Fish and Chips, Cajun Squirrel (???) Duck and Hoisin Sauce, Builders Breakfast and Chilli and Chocolate (eugh no thanks.) But yeah the crisps were nice. I recommend them if you like indian snacks in crisp form! I read a blog by the girl I like. Kinda confusing. I'd love to say I know exactly where I stand but that'd be a lie. I'm still optimistic though. It might be quick but it's not quite painless. I hope it doesn't rain, that'd suck because it'd make the snow disappear. I Don't want that!!

I'm gonna e-mail some snowboarding magazines to see if I can get something going. Earlier on I got an e-mail from Sian Williams who does BBC Breakfast News telling me to be careful in the snow and saying that I can't have one of the mugs they use on there. Letdown but awesome! SIIAAAANNN!!

SO yes I'm done. x.

You could count on me for that and nothing more

Author: Aaron KD Bourn / Labels: , , , , , , ,

Exchange the sunshine for brown eyes and dark skies
Replace this dull life with you
I know it's tomorrow
She's waiting for something to feel alive


So here we go again. Not long since last blog but you know what? YOU KNOW WHAT? There are things to discuss. Has anyone seen the new Gilette advert? It's definitely awful, but maybe just slightly more awful than the last one, which is a pretty impressive achievement. YAY. Good work Thierry and Tiger and Mr. Federer. But you just lost the Open final didn't you? Yes you did. Rafael Nadal is a powerhorse, just like the energy drink that Patrick invented. Good effort. Was it powerhorse? Bitches (including me) don't even know.

I love the snow. I know I have made that point before but I thought I'd better re-iterate because good heavens I love it. It's been snowing on and off here today, but hopefully tonight it's gonna flurry big time. We need snow tomorrow because me and Tom have plans. We're gonna go out to midsummer common, knock up a couple of kickers and Tom's gonna grind the benches and shit and I'm gonna film it, and it's gonna be sweet. As long as it snows heavy! COME ON WEATHER, just do this one thing for me. I meant to mention, last time I was here, about the trip to London on Thursday. I think i was on TV, in the audience for The Wright Stuff (yeah i know right?) which is er ... fine? I GUESS. But better than that was the bus journey. Minibus. I really love bus/coach/minibus travel. I don't know why at all, I guess I just haven't had a bad experience yet, which is nice. Chatting with Colleen and J and Lav and Katie and Narayan and Dave and everyone, and Sue Breeze's ridiculous driving, it was just really nice, friendships were strengthened and allsorts. The only thing that was bad about it was that on the drive home we had the nicest afternoon for ages, sunny and bright and even warm, and we were stuck on a minibus. But c'est la vie. C'est la Wright Stuff.

Tonight is the night then folks. A night of heroes. Of hopes and dreams; of destinies fulfilled or destroyed. It all comes down to this. Because tonight is Superbowl night. We're having Hotdogs, Hamburgers, Fried Chicken and BBQ Ribs to celebrate. I am very much looking forward to it. Anyway, enough about a sport that no-one cares about.

EVERYONE should listen to 'Boy/Girl Surrender' by Pony Pony Run Run. Tom was playing it this morning, god knows where he found it, but it's magical stuff. They're some sort of French synth-rock band and it's glorious. Everyone should also listen to PhantomSmasher. They are the most ridiculous band I have ever encountered. I would try to describe their music accurately but I don't actually think that's possible. Ambient progressive grind/math-core/electronic?? That's some of the random words I could throw in their direction. Basically if you like noise combined with other, more aggressive noise, then these guys are for you.

ONE more thing. Could I ask you guys a favour? Could I get everyone who reads this to comment please, I just wanna know what I'm dealing with because I have some followers who I'd never encountered before I saw them over there on the right. It'd be nice to have a rough idea how many or how few people I'm preaching to. Preaching is the wrong word. Complaining I guess. NAH I think I'm pretty happy most of the time, at least I try to be, sometimes life is difficult my friends! But I think, touch wood, everyone seems very happy at the minute. And that's awesome.

prague tomorrow. good luck with not being killed! Done. x
