OK....so a few of us have decided that we're gonna go on a weekend break to Belfast to party it up. We're going on Sept 1st - Sept 5th, thursday - monday, leaving from Bristol. Flights are £22 return from Bristol and accommodation is £8.50 a night in a hostel. That works out at £56 for the holiday (minus spending money of course). I'm booking the flights tommorrow before they go up in price.
So if anyone wants to go, let me know like NOW (People that actually know me that is...)!! At the moment its me, Nashy, Tucker and Scott. You up for it Mr Russel Hill?

Over the last few weeks i have:
Been to Birmingham to see farse's last ever gig. Twas a good show, complete with crazy bending floor.
Road tripped to leicester. Went to a club called THE MOSH! Whatta name! Was quite a good club but the smoke machine was on WAY too much. Also get grim naked photo's taken of me due to lack of lock on Phish's bathroom door. BASTARDS!
Attended the LEGENDARY jam night for the first time in ages. Its just as shit as ever and is still full of 14 year olds. The big screen thingy is cool though.
Got very drunk in le pub a few times.
Sang drunken Queen songs in back of mini-buses.
Seen Good Riddance and None more Black in Tj's. Saw legendary Kid Dynamite vocalist. Thought None more Black were a tiny bit disappointing probably because i had such high expectations. Good Riddance were amazing.
Been to metro's in cardiff when they were selling double spirits and mixer for 80p!! 80 bloody pence!!! Got very drunk. Me and scott randomly stumble into some club or bar and end up wandering back stage without getting caught. Wander around for a bit then leave because of fear of getting beat by bouncers.
Acquired pictures of scott that will be good for black-mail purposes.
WORD!

God damn! Its me, bored at 4.11 am finally decided to update this journal after months of being a slacker.
All is well and good in Bristol. I'm having a great time here, drinking too often and not doing enough work but its all good in the hood. :D Seen loads of great bands and have got loads more to come in the next few months. Dropkicks murphys/Roger miret and the disasters(legend!!!) were awesome on Friday night. We went to the Bristol equvalent of tj's afterwards and it was EVEN WORSE THAN TJ's. I didnt think it was humanly possible but it was full of dog collar wearing social regects.....there was even a sex shop in the corner of the club! I mean, what the fuck?!?! Didnt stay there long, especially as they were charging £2.50 a pint.
Saturday night my friend fell over and seriously hurt his foot so we decided to take a road trip down to Bristol Royal Infirmary, armed with a bottle of vodka mixed with lemon fanta, and a camera. Was good fun until about 4am when everybody started monging out and the place started filling up with bloody faced drunks. Finally left the hospital at around 5.30am....my friend had broken his foot but luckly the fracture just missed the joint so he didnt need an operation.
Our house is sorted for next year now. Its gonna such an awesome party house...7 bedrooms and looooads of space. We've already gotta fussball table to put in it and we're gonna have a mini bar in the corner of the lounge using the optics that me and my mate have bought. SGORIO! Everybody had better pile down to Bristol for some parties in the summer!!!
I'll be back in good ole Wales on the 20th of March for a month. I shall see most of you then!
Tara! xxx

yoooo! Long time no fucking update!
Yeah, so loads has happened in the last 2 weeks or so...i'm now an almighty fresher in Bristol Uni! Its a big step up from living in a shitty lil mining town in South Wales! I've met so many new people which is cool, and have drank waaaay too much! My flatmates are all safe too. Some of the highlights...
Saw Capdown/Douglas/Adequate 7 at the station. I'd never heard adequate 7 before and was quite impressed. Sorta like a hardcore/ska/blues/jazz hybrid!Twas £1 a bottle too, which is always good! Saw Keri from Monmouth there as well which was crazy!
Razzed it up in some swanky cocktails bars....nearly fainted at the prices.
Got drunk off free wine at our 'meet your tutor' session on my Birthday. Our tutor was in India so we stole all the wine mwahaha! Got doubly drunk at some 80's bar where beer and reef's were tres cheap! The dj announced it was my birthday whilst the clash were playing...awww! Was a good birthday....pity mah home boys and girls couldnt b there tho!
Ramshackle at the Academy was pretty good. £1 a pint of Carling oooo yes please! They played quite varied music really. The academy is pretty damn big!! The smaller room played better stuff but it was tiny and smelt of sweat!
Saw indifference, hondo mclean and ffaf in the union last night....what a load of bollocks that was! I only bought a ticket because the movielife were playing....then they go and split up! Bastards! After the show, went to a tiny club called the cooler which wasnt that bad. Proceeded to get muchos intoxicated!
My Dad is coming down in an hour to take me suit shopping for the 'freshers ball' 2moro. Should be quite funny! Some girl from the all saints is singing and Ray from BB is there or summat lmao!A list celebrities! :-S

Haha, i'm still slacking with journal entries!
This is the first night in a week that my house has been empty! Its kinda scary! The week has been so fun though! We've just either been chilling out or getting totally smashed off cheap lager and wine! Its all good in the hood! My brothers henna tatoo painting kit came in handy when anyway bluffed out and fell asleep! I woke up with a cock tatoo'd onto my forearm one morning! Its solid to wash off as well, you hafta use this alcohol stuff! We (well it was lauren really) got nashy the worst though. He had 'Gayboy as fuck' on his one hand, 'ANAL' written on the other and 'i heart bum' on his face! Twas tres funny! We hid the alcohol pads as well! Nothing of any value got broken either (unlike last year) which is always a good thing!
Anyways, im not going to go into any more detail because loads of stuff happened and it'd take me all day...
Me, nashy and tucker went to cardiff today with the intention of buying coach tickets to go2 newquay for a few days next week but when we were in the queue we like 'hmmmmm, £46 is a lot of money'. Then we bluffed out and walked away lol! I bought the ramones anthology for £9.99 (bargain!) and the HMV girl was singing blitzkreig bop to me whilst serving me lol!....she was hot as fuck too! :) Bought Bad Brains first album as well which is amaaaazing! Got home and started tidying my house like a FIEND ON HEAT to get it clean for when they come home tommorrow! Its tidier then when my parents left now! well...maybe! Now i'm sat here listening to my new ramones CD's. Good shit! Think i'm gonna have an early night so im fresh for work at 8 2moro.
Oh, and the phone that i've been waiting like 227835687 weeks for finally came yesterday....and guess what....there wasn't a fucking battery in the box!! I was well pissed off and i've gotta wait until Wednesday for another one grrr! Snot fair! It does look lush though.

Aloha! Goddamn, my liver hasnt half taking a beating these past 2 days! Its all in the name of celebration!
Went to blackwood on thursday as like nearly EVERYONE from college was there to get smashed after the A-level results. It was ok i guess, the Red Lion was stupidly packed tho. It took about like 5 mins to fight to the toilets and then the was huuuuge queue to actually take a piss...was damn annoying! The girls in blackwood are fiiiiine though!
On Friday i went to newport to buy train tickets for out Newquay holiday but the tickets were 58 fucking pounds!!! I bet a bus to Spain doesnt cost that much....didnt bother buying them in the end!
Me, Chappy and Sanders arrived 'fashionably late' for Russ's birthday bash in the Llymes. It was cool, and there was free food!!! Russel's a big boy now! Me, leepy, nashy, sanders, scott and chappy then got the 9.30 bus to newport where i tried SOOOOO hard to get drunk but it just wasnt happening like. I spent over £30 but only got a little bit tipsy. Gutted! The others left for tj's but me and nash couldnt b arsed so we stayed and chilled in le pub with emma, liz, ali and all their friends etc. Its all good in the hood. They all vanished so we were forced to make our way to the fun-filled action packed shit hole that is tj's. Couldnt b arsed to pay to get in for like an hour so we just mingled outside talking to random people until the others came out to get a taxi home.
I now have a FREE HOUSE to myself for a week! Sing it from the rooftops! Its gonna be turned into a youth hostile for a week lol! It'll b awesome!

Word up!
Went to a guy's house called Craig yesterday in Newport for a party/gathering thing. It was alright, even though i ran out of beer and was virtually sober throughout. :( Nothing hugely eventful happened, even though there was nearly a fight which confused me slightly as i didnt have a clue who they were or what was going on. Emma and Suzie explained later that it was about someone stealing some guys phone or something *shrugs*. Nashy was absolutely WRECKED...again....like he always is at parties lmao. I would have thought that he would have learned by now! All in all it was quite a good night and i got to meet lots of new people which is always cool. Some of them want to come to Newquay with us in a few weeks as well. The more the merrier!
Today i got up at 2.30pm! Woot, go me!
I've found out that None More Black (Ex Kid Dynamite vocalists new band) and Bigwig are touring over here soon supporting No Use For A Name! HOW GOOD!!!
......And, they've found a dead body in Peny-y-fan pond! (A lake place which isn't too far away where I live). Dodgy!

Urgh! I hate staying in on Friday nights. :( I thought it would be wise to catch up on some sleep though as I didnt get hardly any last night and i've got work tommorrow morning. :( Woe be me!
Anyways, Me, Leepy, Anton, Tom, Nashy, Tuxor, Dai, Shane, Phil, Nikki and Hele (i dont really know why i just listed everyone individually) went camping last night on one of Abertillery's 2,768,769 mountains! Our camping spot is sooo far away and the walk in the blistering heat nearly killed us all i think. Overall it was quite a good night, but not one of our best camping trips. Nothing really memorable happened like, but it was ok. Just the usual camping exploits! We wrapped Dai up in a sheet when he was sleeping and put big rocks and shit on it so he couldnt move....he looked so puzzled as to why he was stuck when he woke up! Was tres funny! Walked home at about 6.30am (which was just as grim as the walk up) and went straight to bed!
I've done fuck all productive today. Decided that i was just gonna laze around and watch movies. I saw the ring and bruce almighty, both were just OK i guess. I was really disappointed by the ring, i dont think it lives up to the hype...the Japanese version is supposed to be better though so maybe i'll watch that one day! My phone STILL isn't here! My dad rang up orange and they said that the payment failed for some reason. :( He must have entered the wrong card number or something, so now ive gotta wait until next week grrr!
Apparently theres a party tommorrow at Ali's friends house near le pub so that should be ok. She said that me and Nashy could come in her and Gav's taxi. Safe!

Well well well, its been quite an eventful week. I cant be arsed to go into that much detail though.
Saw Pothole and No-Association on Monday in tjs. Both bands were pretty good like. It was the first time that i've seen Pothole and I was pretty impressed. They're in the top 10 on the Epitaph Demolition page as well which is cool. Went to Kob's after the show in a crammed mini-bus (There was something like 25 of us in a 16 seater bus) which was funny. All in all it was a good night, and i met lots of cool people. Watched T3 as well which was OK i guess. It could have been alot better though.
I ordered a new phone on Tuesday. Its the new Sagem myx-6 picture phone and looks funky as hell. It was only £99.99 on special offer as well. Bargain! I'm a bit pissed off that it hasn't arrived yet though. It shoulda been here on Friday grrr!
Wednesday and Thursday are a blur...
FRIDAY
I met most of the usual crowd at the dolls house on Friday night as no-one could b arsed to goto Newport. It was pretty shit thought so we left after a few pints. Me, Tom, Dai and Nashy left to go and get food and Anton, Nicky and Barnes went to get some stuff from Barnes's house and the plan was to meet back at Dai's house because his parents were away. So.....we go to the chip shop and then walk across to the kebab shop and get followed by a big pile of stupid clarts (around 15-20 of em) and Nashy goes and talks to them. I just assumed that Nashy knew them as he knows quite alot of people around town but then all of a sudden they start fighting him, so me and Tom jump in as you do like. I now have a killer black eye for my efforts which is lush. :( Its not all bad, i got a day off work because of it! Its really annoying though because these bastards are a pile of pussies and they would have got hammered if it was even numbers. Theres not alot you can do when theres 15-20 against 4! Its a good job dai was there to calm things down a bit. I've made a vow to not go out far until my eye has cleared up because i dont want to unleash my mangled face on the world! I'm gonna b a recluse! It's healing faster than expected though.
On Saturday a shit load of people came to my house and we just chilled for mosta the day. There was more space as my drum kits wasnt in the room and i have a new funky bed. Its like a bunk bed with a single bed on top and a double pull out sofa bed on the bottom. It OWNS me! We watched a bit of 'the house with 1000 corpses' or summat on Scotts recommendation but it was shit so we turned it off!
I got a call on Sunday to say that Anton's parents were away so everyone was going down to have a BBQ. It was ok like. The chicken stuff that Ball brought down was lush. It took aaaaages to cook though and was smoking so much that it sent Antonys fire alarm off! Sanders got totally smashed off the absinthe that Lee brought down. It's 85% and he must have had at least 10 shots, and loads of Rum and cider. He was funny though, at some point he ate a ginormous dead moth! Nutter!
I've havent done that much today. I recorded the new From Forever Until November song though and they all like it...even if the drums do sound like cardboard boxes. :) Lee and Scott are coming down tommorrow to record the vocals. WATCH THE SPACE FOR THE FFUN EP!

[27 Jul 2003|04:35pm] |
Its now 4.35pm and i have only been awake for 45 mins! HOW AWESOME! So, last night was ok i guess. We all ploughed in the ball mobile and headed off to Treowen where little Danni told us she was having a party but when we turned up (and after lots of arguing over who would knock the door as we dont really know her) we found out that she bluffed and was getting her sister to answer the door and tell us she was out. Pah! We drove around for a bit with Ball driving totally wild, taking corners waaaay too fast and skidding all the time and then decided to go to Kobs house for a gathering. Lots of beer and other substances were gathered up and off we went to fun filled Cardiff. There were only 8 or so people there when we turned up so me, nash, Scott and some Cardiff girls chilled on the sofa watching the Exorcist...i bloody hate that film! Scotts ex, Danni (not the Danni mentioned above) was getting on my nerves so much. I've never been as patronized in my life! She said summat like 'damn working class people'!!!! grrrr, i had to bite my lip. More people came and it started to liven up a bit so Nashy unleashed his secret beer bong weapon and i was drinking this swish wine stuff through it. It tasted ming, but was easier to drink through the bong than lager. Anyway...nothing that thrilling happened really. We showcased From Forever Until November to em all though, i bet they were loving it, lol! We headed off back home at about 5ish because everyone had monged out and died, but not before i burnt my finger on a George Foreman (I put my naaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaame on it)lean mean grilling machine or something like that. It fucking kills! I guess i shoulda checked that it was turned off before trying to clean it. :)
Driving home at 90mph with your head out of the window at 5.30 in the morning is amazing.

[21 Jul 2003|12:01am] |
Shit, so i havent updated in over two weeks! I blame alcohol! Anyway, i dont have a hope in hell of remembering what i did that long ago so i'll start from erm, Thursday.
Me, Nashy and Tux0r Superst*r decided to go and 'razz it up' in Blackwood :). Its not really my scene at all, but alot of ex colege friends live there so i thought it would be cool to go and see them. The beer in weatherspoons was tres cheap but i was mostly drinkin a Bourbon drink (whatever that is) called 'Wild Turkey'. Wotta name! Its strong as fuck, 50.5%, but actually does taste kinda nice. If anyone finds anywhere that sells it then lemme know as i've never heard of it before in my life. Even better, you could just buy it for me! So, we went on to a shitty bar/club called the Red Lion which was absolutely packed to the rafters. But damn, there were soooo many fine girls there, nearly all of them were awesome in fact! (Besides the minger that Nash pulled haha!)
I wanted to goto Abergavenny to see When Reason Sleeps and Douglas etc. in Abergavenny on Friday but i couldnt get there/back so we went to see Shane, Dai's and Chappys band in Blaina instead. All the bands were pretty good actually, especially the Afterlife. Their guitarist was amazing! Someone kept letting off stinks bombs during the show though, which was kinda annoying.
Worked an extra hour on Saturday then got home and had a power nap. We were all supposed to be getting the train to Cardiff in the night to celebrate Scotts and Chappys birthdays, but i found out that plans had changed and that peeps were driving down instead. After some confusion i managed to get a lift with Bally, the living legend. :) We didnt get into Cardiff until gone 11 so the bars in most of the smaller pubs had already closed so we went straight to Metros. It cost £4 fucking 50 to get in! £4.50 i tell you, and it wasnt even that good! It was really quiet but did kinda fill up a bit towards the end. Entertainment was provided by Scott and Chappy dancing like drunken fools to cheesy old songs and Scott falling flat on his face. :) When the club closed we made our way to Kris's house in Pontypridd for a good old fashioned smoke and ended up having a heated debate about racism. Chappy highly dislikes blacks for some reason which quite annoyed me as i have a few black/asian friends. After watching dodgy Amsterdam porno and playing some cards we set off back to good ole Abertillery. I didnt get in until about 6am!
Woke at about 4pm (due to me not going to bed until a stupid time) and proceeded to do fuck all, all day. I had a killer cramp in my calf that lasted for ages! You could feel the knot in my muscle and stuff and I was in muchos pain.
Thats about it folks.
Oh, and my dad came home with loooooads of VCDs and a new 17 inch monitor the other day! Safe!

| My week... |
[06 Jul 2003|02:48am] |
Havent updated in quite a while, here goes...
Monday...
Went to cinema with Nashy and Rich to see a film called 'Identity' with John Cusack and Ray Liotta. It was awesome, and has a really weird twist at the end. A better twist than the Usual Suspects even.
Tuesday...
The night of Jam! It was kinda good which makes a change and was absolutely packed for some reason. There were people coming from as far away as Tredegar in mini-buses and stuff! I mean, whats the point?!?! I have to think twice about walking 5 minutes down the road to go there! They ID'd all the mini emo boi's and girls too, and most were turned away. Its about time! (I feel old!). Ball was totally smashed (as usual) and was falling all over the place and trying to chat up random ugly girls! And, and, and...xWaynex, the man, the myth, the legend, went on stage and sang a song! It was funniest thing ive seen in a long time. Lee has it all on his DV cam too, so i must get a copy off him!
Wednesday...
Had work until 7 which kinda sucked as usual, then i walked up to Nashys with Lee. When we arrived, Nicky, Dai and Barnes were already there, along with lots of empty beer bottles and a beer bong :). Nashy was fucked and was trying to do hardcore moves to my Madball CD that i'd taken up...you had to be there. Little did i know that Madball were actually playing in Cardiff on that night which i was kinda gutted about. Chilled for a bit and had a beer bong then went on to Shanes house, which was kinda boring and didnt stay long. I wish someone had taken a camera out because we woulda caught an amazing picture of Nashy, sleeping on shanes floor, hugging the beer bong with 2 bottles of bud on his lap! Classic!
Thursday...
Cant remember. Dont think i did much.
Friday...
Me, Scott and Nashy went to Cardiff shopping and then on to the compass point free festival thingy. Shopping was kinda boring and i didnt find a single thing that i wanted to buy but then we met up with Lee, Dopez and Ball and went to 'The Rimmer' for a drink. The compass point show was kinda lame. The bands didnt particularly play any music that i liked, mostly metalcore or new style hardcore and beer was overpriced! For some reason i felt kinda left out, but i dont know why. Me and Nashy left early due to the crapness and didnt even bother watching Funeral for a Friend, but when we tried to get out, ALL the park gates were locked. Whats up with that?!?! There were loadsa people wandering round confused asking each other how to get out. In the end we had to climb over the gate and we then had to rush to get our train in time...i bet i burnt off a few pounds :).
Today...
Work wasn't that bad i guess, besides the getting up at 8.00 part. Got home and fell asleep as usual. Was intending on going out, but they were at Jims house and Dai said that it was shit so stayed in instead, watching BB and talking on here. I'm still undecided whether or not to go to the Leeds festival this year or go on holiday somewhere like Newquay instead. I only really wanna see two bands (AFI and Pennywise) out of the whole lineup.
Looooooooong update!
