Well what can I say, this is my first blog post, and I have Tom here, who is gonna help me, because of course he is my inspiration.My muse is you may :P
Well what to write about, mostly blogs are about the person's life right? What they like, what they don't, what's having an effect on their life, what they'd like to change, what are their fears, their worries, and without the want to sound emo, this is a hard task to accomplish. (hahaha).
My life right now is at a kind of standstill one could say...I got back from Spain last Saturday which was a disappointment in itself as coming back from Spain always is, and it's like a sudden jump back into reality. Reality meaning problems, work, goals to reach, New Year's resolutions to keep blablabla. All the crap that one can so easily ignore when going on holiday comes flooding back in great big waves and it's hard to not feel overwhelmed.
One of the main things that is bothering me right now is the fact that I'm leaving my BEAUTIFUL and AMAZING halls of residence....a.k.a Kingswood Halls, because of personal reasons, mostly because of strict parents, certain friends and my immense lack of responsibility and inability to look after myself. All of these summed up together have obliged me to leave and for that I am terribly upset and has added to the insecurities I had. But oh well, maybe certain friends will learn to appreciate me more and I mean that in the best way.
This could be interesting. In the words of Jesse Lacey by Brand New - "I hope this song starts a craze. The kind of song that ignites the airwaves." Well...may not be a song but still contains the feelings and thoughts that in essence songs connect with.
Firstly, I think we should be OTT - O Trix n' Tom. Because we both are over the top in the most crazy, silly, amazing way possible. Secondly, we need photos up! Awesome!
So yeh, I wrote a blog, which was dire. Trix saw and thought she'd rescue me by helping. All was good :) Now two become one and this'll be awesome. I really do say that too much. Ahhh. Trix.Take over!
Taking over! Well anyway, I'm sure I will be missed, (I have been told on various occasions by various friends) But one always seems to forget these things. I'm sure Tom will miss me, after all he's always the same person, never-changing which is great, and that's how friends should be! That's why I'm dedicating him this little place right here <<<>
Now, to move on to a lighter but still dense subject, one that is seen as an important factor in the lives of the people of our generation, the young people, LOVE-LIVES. Many a time have I been sitting in a bar, or in a lecture theatre and have been asked by both friends and strangers, that ever-annoying question ( which I do not deny to have asked and therefore sink into my hypocritical self), " So how's the love-life".
Nowadays, relationships are sooooo complicated, I mean there's from simply pulling randomers to 6 year long relationships. Even on Facebook, you can be in a complicated relationship, there's an actual difference between seeing someone and going out with someone, you can be seeing someone and not get with other people, but you can also be going out with someone with no strings attached!
See I find all this soo long and complicated, although I'm not gonna deny having been in nearly all of these situations, except for a long-term one. I personally blame this on the fact that there ARE so many different ways of being in a relationship with someone. You see, many a time, I find myself wishing I had been born in the era of courtship and black and white films. I name a few ' Casablanca', 'Gone with the Wind', all these romantic and dreamy films, which in the society we live in nowadays seems unrealistic almost impossible.
But once again I repeat, I blame society and all its unofficial laws, right now I'm seeing someone, but I can still get with other people, you see I have no problem with this, but explain this to parents, or family, especially mine and it's ridiculous! Anyway...I'm seriously rambling now, so I'm handling you over to Tom...you will hopefully tell you his point of view and then start that new beautiful topic that we all love...MUSIC.
Over to you babe.
Over to you babe.
ahhhh man. LOVE?! Really, this is what you want to drag from out of the deepest darkest canals of my ridiculous raunchy-easily falling in love-do anything for a hug heart?! Ok. Sounds like a plan. Firstly though. Fuck Kaiser Chiefs with their "It's cool to know nothing" dig at the youth of today. Because it actually is just fucking cool to know nothing. Grr to the world. I remember when I was 6, not knowing anything and being blissfully happy. I admit, back then I couldn't drink or do anything else crazy fun but naivety is a lot safer than being stabbed into depression central because the news circulates how evil and painful this world is. I mean honestly, where are all the news bulletins telling me that Thundercats is going to be re-run for the kids of today so they get a real child's education!
Ok. Breath Tom. Breath. Love? Well. Like Trix said (OMG she's leaving :( really does suck, hopefully she can stay over some time though :) ) Like Trix said love is a complicated cacophony that I have suffered. And I don't mean in a totally sucked, I regret every last moment kind of way. Just in the way that it leaves you appreciating everything a little more, growing up a tad, and trying to distance yourself from those past loves a little less. I still have a lot of work to do tbh. So as I crunch down on the ice from my drink (good past time) I think to myself and know I shouldn't divulge too much information. Just that love hurts, it still does atm for me.
But everyday is new and fresh and a chance to take a further step into the unknown, something I do love. Which is weird because I'm such a nostalgic at heart. Most probably why I can't let go easily :( So yeh, life carries on, just remember to learn from your mistakes. And whoever you're in love with, or in a relationship with, just appreciate them for who they are like you did in the first place. That's all you can really ask. And learn to forgive! Because not everyone is a psycho hose beast.
Love 1 Tom 0
Over to you cute Trix ;)
Totally agreeing with the TomMeister on that one there...Incubus quote...and many other artist song quotes 'love hurts', it does, it's fucked up but there you have it. A very cliche-y expression but life's a bitch, you just need to accept that and move on.
Anyway, MUSIC TIME and to start off this beautiful section, I would like to talk about why music is SO important in life, especially in mine. I believe that music has the power to bring people together and of course everyone knows that.
A quick example of why I am so greatful to music. I've always loved music, I can't actually live without my iPod...which is currently in a coma and I'm hoping it will come back to life sometime soon, pray with me people,lol. Yeah man, starting off at uni, I had a few good tunes on the old music storer but nothing amazing, 3 months later and I look at my itunes and see it's full of AMAZING bands, all because of influences from friends. Allow me to name a few of my favourite bands, Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Radiohead, At The Drive-In, Mars Volta, Incubus, Taking Back Sunday, Brand New (Tom <3),>
All genres of music deserve to be listened to, Drum 'n' Bass being one of the main ones, Logistics, High Contrast, DJ Hype...just to listen to the song start off, let it continue, tempo increasing, your heat along with it and then the climax, THAT is why I recommend everyone to go to Fabric, yeah it's full of pillheads, but it's an amazing experience man, you get in there surrounded by so many people, music pumping, at first, I have to admit yeah slightly claustrophobic but when you get into it...god, many of you know what I'm talking about.
Once again, you lovely readers have witnessed me rambling on, basically what I gotta say, is give music a chance. I was always an RHCP fan, as is everyone I believe, but I never fully appreciated them, then a certain Mr Mason enlightened me, by showing me interviews of them, documentaries and such and it such an indescribable feeling the one yo get, when you re-listen to their songs, coz you KNOW what went on and what that song means to them.
Another example of me giving music a chance was when a really good mate of mine (Brew<3),>
I'm gonna finish off my little spiel of music now with a little greatful comment to my fellow co-writer, partner-in-crime, call it what you may, Tommy *HUG*, this morning I woke up feeling like shit, I went onto my fb and was ordered to read a blog, which made me listen to a band called Brand New, I'm now feeling so happy, simply because of music and this is so important to me.I hope I have proven my point well enough, not written in the best way possible, but in the only way I can write, randomly and pointlessly. I'm now leaving you with Tom, who I'm sure will have a lot to say on the subject which we all love - MUSIC.
Erm. Oh this is embarrasing. But like...I don't even like music that much. I just pretend to.....SYKE! Ahhh I love it. Music is in a word (maybe 3 or 4, 5 if you're lucky) the best feeling in the world. That was 6 wasn't it....well whatever!
OK, Music. I know maybe I don't really deserve this podium to express my views and many will probably just find that I mention I love my chemical romance and then want to bash my skull in with a toothpick covered in Xmas cheese but I don't care. And that's the beauty of music. It allows you to escape and not care about anyone's views but your own. I could name so many bands that should be secret likes but I don't mind telling people how Gary Numan is a saint (he also has my birthday!) or how some Best Fwends and copious amounts of triple vodkas at Medicine would probably make my evening. (I <3>
Talking of inspiritational stuff, Trix mentioning Tony Flow there (RHCP), Used to love them so much. Kiedis lived an insane life and at times I envy it, wishing I could have lived how he did. Still got time though. But the band or well, lead singer who I atm find inspiritational is Rivers Cuomo, WEEZER :D just watched a small video on how he aspired to play football like his dad loved (think his dad left them) and so he put all his heart and soul into that. He couldn't play though because of a problem with his legs, but eventually he found out there was an operation and he went through with it and started to play football and then played in a special celebrity game, scoring a goal. Just shows the commitment to someone you love so much that you wrap yourself in what they loved because you want to get a little closer to them.
Final ramble on the music - I don't think I could honestly tell you how many bands I love, The Cure, Nirvana, RHCP, Pixies, Gallows, Death from above 1979, The Clash, Sex Pistols, Ash, Bowie, Dead Kennedys, Jimmy Eat World and My Bloody Valentine. There's a lot more, but there always should be, I realized after wearing myself out of just loving chili peppers for 3 years straight and its taken its toll, still love them, just not been the same. Everything in moderation I guess.
Well quoting Nelly Furtado ( there's a first time for everything lol) "All good things must come to an end". I hope anyone who has bothered to take the time to read this has enjoyed it as much as I have enjoyed writing it. And do not worry, this is only the first of a beautiful story.
Always there for a hug and to bring a smile on my face...
