Summer 2010.

I recently invested in a decent camera and its awesome, I'm not a great photographer but i enjoy having pictures to look back at. I have decided that I am going to make a video of this summer! Shows, skateboarding & just hanging out so i look back at it in twenty years and remember how lame me and my friends were! 

Raising Hell

The Gap Year.

In a matter of hours i will be trying out on bass guitar for my friends band "The Gap Year". Soon as this band started up they had my attention, being a huge fan of pop punk i really wanted to be a part of it, They already had a bassist at the time so i just sat back and watched the youtube videos of a fucking awesome band starting to form (see video below). 

To my luck the bassist and the band have parted ways and i have been given the opportunity to try out! Growing up i listened to bands like Blink 182, Jimmy Eat World & New Found Glory then i got a bit older and it turned to Brand New, Alkaline Trio & Glassjaw then after that it got to Refused then to Comeback Kid and so on. I have a huge love of all types of music but bands like Brand New and Jimmy Eat World have always been the kind of bands i wanted to be in. I love playing hardcore and will continue to play that genre for a long time but what I'm trying to say is given the opportunity to tour in a band like the gap year is something i would never say no to.

X for 2010.

An idea i got off of a friend. 

Ten goals for the year of 2010... 

I have written about this in great depth and in time maybe i will show it to others but for now its personal.

Quite simply i wish to change nearly everything about me.

1. I am going to start volunteering, as i am not currently working i feel it is a good way to use my time selflessly. I am going to knuckle down in looking for a job, i really do this already but I'm sure there is more i can do. 

2. I wish to make more music and better myself as a musician. 

3. I want to go on tour, I want to do this more than anything. No one will ever understand this about me.

4. I enjoy writing, How good i am at this is another thing altogether but as i enjoy it i may as well do something about it! I am going to attempt to write something, be it a script or a Novel of sorts.

5. Pass my driving test, i need to get places other than Canterbury.

6. See my friends more, Jon, Glenn, Kyle and Ollie.. This means you.

7. Move out. This can only be made possible if i get a job so time will tell.

8. I have finally bought a decent camera so number 8 is take fuck loads of photos. I enjoy photography a lot so i am looking forward to this.

9. I want to go to Canada. Something has alway tied me to this place i have no idea why but i really want to go there.

10. Number ten is to get all this done, to actually stick to something for once in my life. I am 21 and 22 in a matter of months, this doesnt mean i am growing up it means its starting.. whatever "IT" is.

Round II.

I'm going to try this again, This will be where i will leave my thoughts and whats going on in my life, even if nobody else reads this i know it is here and that i can look back on it.

Just when you thought you were safe...

The last couple of weeks have been awesome for my band atlantic hearts, we played our first show with dan last thursday and it couldn't of gone any better ( except if maybe dan didn't lick my face whilst i was playing ) but all in all in was a fucking rad show!
