i aint been here in time, so i better make a short blog... busy as a mofo working late very often etc..cant complain to much about it though in the current climate! im so stoked to be back stuck behind that giant monitor after 6months on the brew.... although it was cool having all the free time just not the pennies.,snowboarding,cycling and hanging out with strippers on school nights.

i have though after much research just bought a new fixie out of some of my hard earned..a cheeky little specialized langster off a bloke down south so im hoping that'll be up for the weekend.. went through to glasgow last weekend...spunked healthy cash on trainers at apsecto and many beers around town...bumped into a mate from clubbin at pure and tribal back in the day,weather was ace...all in a sound day out west.

aside that ...mmm.. oh moving flat nearer the harbour,sweet views and a stones throw away from the harbour inn , a great little boozer full to the brim with a mad mix of yokels and climbers ,fishermen...but serves a cracking pint of best or budvar and plays belle and sebastian.

anyway i will get some more down soon.

evening peeps, first post in a while....back in employment,which while its great to be back designing is taking some getting used to after nearly six months rocking the giro... that and the biggest worry of my day before was is there enough milk for tea
i have also been busy learning two new tunes on the drums..pixies "debaser" & cure "just like heaven" although i play along to the dinasour jnr version as it kicks ass...
also been selling loads of sneakers on ebay to fund pimping my velosolo...with a new charge spoon saddle and grips etc..oh and blagged some dc stickers..its gonna look the bollox when im finished... although it needs a wash first as i took it out on a trek on sat,good laugh but covered in crap

just spending the evening listening to


and researching ideas for my next TWO tatts...im getting lottie to finish my sleeve on the right which will be a tribute tatt to my wee sis "rip" on a japanese tip with lots of cheery blossom as shes scattered under a cherry tree...a few ideas, and one on the left on my chest, poss another evan hecox piece of artwork or mucha...

went to brians "elphs" opening at the hendersons gallery off thistle lane/hanover st edinburgh...amazing space and some crazy nice stuff...known the boy for years and he wa salways on point...

after catching up on the weekends footie highlights im more than ready to try and recreate some of arsenals one touch sexy football myself down the pits tonight for sevens...i can smell the goals

also went in to see my tattooist whos very chirpy following a two week break in japan,regarding my sleeve ideas... more research to be done but were getting there so im hoping to get that started fairly soon.

what a week since coming back from snowboarding, went down south to just outside hull visting ma folks...not the most exciting trip but one that had to be done.
it was baking hot during the day so i just chilled with my auld dear and soaked up the sun and drank beers in the garden...watched one of the most exciting games of footie as arsenal took on liverpool 4-4,that combined with the crazy cheap pints of marstens ale made for a corker of an evening.
then off the train last night and along to the picturehouse to watch the "doves" play a cracking set to a full house..i was well stoked really graet band live..cancelled on us a few yrears back so finally..

and finally today,managed to blag a nikita hoody for my lovely lady before heading with much apprehension to my first meeting with a counciler (only took 18weeks) didnt know what to expect,guy was sound and just talked about family and stuff..we'll see.
and now im just working my way through a large glass of red wine before i attempt to maaster playing "just like heaven,the cure" on drums.
hope everyones having a fun night.peas.

weathers baking hot sunshine here in edinburgh...a real rarity so just a quick few photos before i head out on ma cheeky pimped up singlespeed

friday..hmm,dull and overcast so i reckon im gonna make the most of the local heated outdoor pool and then relax and use the free wifi with lattes till around 3pm........what to do next..hmm

try and learn a new song on the drums..poss kings of leon "sex on fire" or deathcab "new year" see if i can get the tabs.
this dude rocks it on youtube...a serious redhead..





and then tonight me and the lady are going for dinner then hooking up with mates for beers,gin and then off to see frightened rabbit playing in up the toon

spending my day listening to electronic beats and drinking tea...not exactly hardcore i know,but it needs to be done from time to time.



also cleaning wheels of my other fixie,selling trainers etc on ebay,drumming along to deathcab "cath" and then going to the gym to work off some of the beers.
might look into working on the rigs offshore...

When things are all you think of
And plans are all you make
and thoughts are all you dream of
your falls are all you take
look out the world's destroying ya
relax it isn't fair
mother natures disposition
she don't mind she don't care
she don't mind she don't care!

aaaaaah, a cheeky wee post..
well a very eventfull weekend,snowboarding through in braehead glasgow,a right laugh,followed by beers watching holland spank scotland in the boozer with pals,fish and chips and stella.

feeling a pissed of today as i was supposed to have a phone interview for a engineering position down durham,now call

so im just gonna have a coffee and head out on the bikes with a mate, followed by and evening of playing five aside football ,fish fingers beans and chips...and either king of queens or scrubs..undecided as yet.
peas out.

It's not as simple as forgetting presents that were bought,
And not a day goes by when I don't spare you a thought.
Not a day goes by, not a day goes, not a day goes by.
A time when everything was evergreen.
Evergreen and seemingly ideal.
Nights turning into days and we didn't even notice the change.
Not a day, not a day goes by.

what a shitty day,its actually really nice out but i have spent most of the morning listening to tunes and thinking about my wee sis...

think i'll try playing the drums loud then head out for a walk change of scenery...get out of my head.
