We were never here

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

First things first: I hate fruit tea. Don't ever buy me it or administer it to me it's fucking Mexico.

Second things second: I get more worried by not having my friends around than things I should be worried about like not being able to pay rent/my phone contract/life.

Third things third: My mum is a hero :)

Fourth things fourth: Zack and Miri make a Porno is a lovely film, plus it has Jason Mewes in it and he has some sick ink, plus that porn star. Good times.

Fifth things fifth: I wish I'd taken more chances.

Oh and sixth things sixth: Long long long phone call to the girl i love is a good way to make me feel happy happy. Well weapon.

NOW LET ME SHOW YOU SOME THINGS :L
MUSIC. HERE IS SOME MUSIC I HAVE RECENTLY ENJOYED. YOU MIGHT TOO. YOU PROBABLY WON'T. I COULD CARE LESS. (yeah so my music taste sucks get over it)

A Skylit Drive - Wires and the Concept of Breathing (2008 Post-Hardcore)



Mercy Mercedes - The Perfect Scene (2008 torrid pop punk but it makes me wanna dance like a retard)



Brokencyde - Freaxxx (2009 ... Crunkcore? I don't know what that is but it's what they call themselves. I ... I can't even explain why I like this. I hate myself. It's just so funny. I really hope se7en, Mikl, Bree and er ... douchebag aren't taking themselves seriously. SC13 babbyyy)



Radiohead - No Surprises (1997 - My favourite Radiohead song and for some reason I've been listening to it a lot lately. Is it about suicide or something? o_0)



The Maccabees - Love you Better (2009 indie poster boys. First indie song I've actually really really liked. You've done well for yourself boys, new album and allsorts. Patrick loves it. It's a future festival beast.)



Bon Iver - Skinny Love (2008 acoustic, this is the live performance on Jools Holland. The passion in this guys voice actually makes me wanna cry. So good.)



Currently watching: Flicking between Rugby League highlights on Sky Sports 2 for Steve and Scrubs on E4+1 for me.
Currently listening: TV, Taking Back Sunday new stuff, The Morning of - Shine.
Currently consuming: AWFUL AWFUL Fruit tea, very reluctantly I might add, Cadbury's Dairy Milk avec Caramel.
Currently surfing: www.blogspot.com, www.youtube.com, www.tvguide.co.uk, www.qwantz.com, www.flickr.com
Currently chatting: Rach MSN, Narayan MSN, Colleen MSN, Steve irl

SO.
I want to take you back to my happiest but at the same time
most melancholy moment that I can remember. It was sad
but for all the right reasons I guess you could say?
It was also the closest I'd ever felt to anyone else ever.
I don't know if it still is. But it's up there.

See I was in Wragby, in 06, with the old crew. And there was this one girl, Emma, and she was beautiful. I mean honestly she could have been a model. Maybe she is now? I don't know. She had the most amazing eyes. Everything changes doesn't it? ANYWAY the point is, one night I met her on a bench, or should I say 'the' bench and she was crying. I talked to her a little, tried to make her feel better. Anyway I eventually found out she had split up with her long-time boyfriend. He was a mate of mine too so I felt bad like, for both of 'em. Just cos' I knew they were really in love, I mean sometimes you see a couple and you just know. They felt like forever. After a few minutes of silence I got my phone out and played a song that I knew she liked. I started sort of singing it to her and after a few seconds she just collapsed on my shoulder in a flood of tears. I held her tight and told her everything would be ok.


They got back together the week after that. I've never felt so helpful and helpless at the same time before or since.

#322 - Someone who will watch the sunrise with me

I found this amazing feed on tumblr. If you don't know what tumblr is then go find out. Anyway this is brilliant. And yeah it's written from a women's POV but who cares? It's still awesome. If you think you can do better then I dare you to try.

SO I DON'T LOOK THE SAME AS I DID. RAWR.

#386 - Someone who will take an interest in what I have to blog

One day I'll walk away and you'll be all like 'oh shit I probably should have made out with him at least one time. He looks like some kind of smooth operator' and by then it'll be much too late. Just remember: Feelings are boring, kissing is awesome.

It's Zoe's and Ruth's birthdays today. I have no idea if I got the apostrophes or lack of right there. Although I'm not as bad as Steve at positioning apostrophes.
Anyway yeah, how weird is that?
Some of you may know what I'm talking about, others will not. Don't lost sleep over it.
TALKING OF LOSING SLEEP, HERE I AM DOING THIS FUCKING BLOG AT ALMOST 1AM, I'LL BE UP TIL LIKE 4:30 COS OF THE WWE AND TOM SHAMBLING IN AT SOME POINT. NO-ONE EVER ACHIEVED ANYTHING ASLEEP RIGHT? not that i'm gonna achieve anything anyway but still. fuck it.

Hey I'm an NFL fan so I appreciate a Cardinal more
than most, but still! What is this? I've heard the new
single ... errrr I dunno. It's a grower perhaps? It
definitely didn't hit me as much as some of their early
stuff. It doesn't have the power of We Are The End
or To A Friend that's for sure
(oh btw we're talking about alexisonfire here. noobs) Anyway.
I know Zoe isn't so impressed.
BUT GO MAKE YOUR OWN DECISIONS.
SCREAM UNTIL YOU KNOW FOR SURE.

#485 - Someone with eyes so beautiful they make me wish you didn't blink. (Although that'd be pretty freaky.)

We're gonna make these last few weeks the best of our lives. Everything changes, and nothing can last forever. But memories stick around. So does photographic evidence. So let's make a pledge right now. We make this everything we can. We live dangerously, we take risks, we be who we wanna be, and be with who we wanna be with. We take too many photos, we laugh too loud, we get in trouble and get out of it. Because none of this matters if you're not living. YOU DO WHAT YOU LOVE AND FUCK THE REST. Be reckless. Take a chance. Fall in love.

A siren and a birdsong
The juxtaposition isn't lost on me
Death and life.

LIFE YOU ARE RIDICULE, FUTILITY, TORMENT, FRUSTRATION, PAINFUL IRONY, SORROW, EMPTINESS, LONELINESS. DESPAIR, HEARTBREAK, ANGUISH, ANGER, INJUSTICE, LOSS, TRAGEDY, DISASTER.
BUT WE LONG FOR YOU. AND THERE IS NOTHING ELSE. BEING ALIVE IS. IT'S PRETTY COOL TO LIVE.
Yet still, one day we die. And then nothing will have mattered. But we comprehend that when we choose.
FOR NOW SIGUR ROS BIRDS.

Man it feels like forever ago that I last blogged. It was quite a long time wasn't it? Dear me. Well listen, Zoe was like 'oh man do another blog' and so here I am. Blogging. And actually this time I do have some stuff to write about. You lucky, lucky people. First of all I think I'll share a few photos that I've took recently, just ones that make me look talented with a camera. If you're an avid fan of me anywhere else on the internet (and why wouldn't you be quite frankly) then you might have scoped a few of these before. Either way they're here now so just calm down and take a look.

That'll do for that then. I never really wanted to be a photographer but I like doing it you know? It's a hobby and guess what I'm pretty good guys ;D SO yes onto more or less more important matters. Man, this 80's music countdown has just turned up on TMF. Let me just say that YOU ARE GOLD, GOOOLLDD!! Yes yes yes yes yes.

Ok so I decided on uni's didn't I? Got my applications sorted. Bournemouth first choice, LSBU as backup - sorry Stafford. It's not you, it's me. Now I gotta deal with applying for accomodation and student finance and whatnot. Oh and I also have to deal with getting IN to Bournemouth. DMM is required. I should be able to manage it, just gotta merit the majority of FMP and I'm there. Happy days. College has been such a drag lately though, I've just lost every ounce of desire to do anything when I'm there. I know Lav and Col feel pretty much the same. A lot of the problem is that we haven't had any lecturers for like 3 weeks, no-one's pushing us or giving us any info about assignments, no-one knows when the deadlines are for stuff, it's just a mess basically. They need to sort their shit out. Apparently we've got an assignment in for Thursday. Jesus my life. Better get to work on that riiight.

So I been filming FMP lately, not just mine (cos tbf I didn't film that, Jamir did) but I'm acting in Lav's too, and I helped out on J's. If you get a chance to get to the FMP screening (June 24th I think?) some of the stuff I've seen is looking pretty good. Not mine. Or Lav's, even though I'm in it so it's pretty good by default, but Laurie's monologue movie looks amazing, and Pat's Shane Meadows-stylee beat 'em up is also looking mint. Oh brb gotta put some pasta on. Yeah so we're nearing the end of the course now, and I don't think I'm alone in saying THANK CHRIST FOR THAT. Year 1 was amazing. Year 2 less so. I guess I had some personal shit that kinda dragged me down during this year but I dunno. I still don't think the course is structured or organised well at all. Man I've made that point twice now. I should shut up about that.

So Scrubs finished in the US the other night. That sucks. That means it'll be finishing over here in like a year and a half. It's probably my favourite ever TV show. Either Scrubs or House. Or Diagnosis Murder but that's for retro comedy value. Man I really like medical shows. What's that about? Obviously I have a subconscious desire to be a doctor. I would love to be a doctor. How long does it take to be a doctor? Like seven years? I could rattle that out in a few months. Easy as pie. Nah but seriously, it takes a lot of time and commitment to be a doctor. Commitment that i most probably don't have. Ah well. Maybe in the next life eh. Oh food time. Gimme a few minutes here. Ok score. That was nice. I had red sauce on pasta with sauusaage chopped up in it. (Linda McCartney cos of course I've gone veggie for a little while.) Pisses me off, Steve keeps saying 'oh it's like saying you're a Christian and not believing in God' and I'm like 'no it isn't? I didn't say I don't believe in meat.' What it's like is I'm not eating meat for a while and seeing what happens. That's it. Ta-da.

This summer is gonna suck for me. Don't even know where I'll be living until university. But what does it matter right? I'm not saying I believe in like, 'fate' as in a set outline of exactly what is gonna happen. Cos that'd just suck. But you know, whatever happens happens. And I'm just gonna embrace it. Go for what I want and let everything else sort itself out. Our hot water is broken. FML.
