The Drivel Came First... 
SPOILERS! (Click to view)
Well I have recently been trying to get my head round the disaster that is Oli Sykes... I think I can honestly say I like Kerry King as a gentleman more than this man. I think he's a bit of a prick and that we're really american, oh no wait actually we're terribly British thing is weird... but then Suicide Season is so good... I am torn... I haven't been torn about a band for a long time. So I had to buy the album after downloading it. This is what confusion does to me.
Also... I have totally changed my hardcore princess 'undying love', sorry Cadance but your wisdom is no match for savage amounts of cutness..... and boobs
a bit of a perv? Yes... I call for an SG set!
My fathers comment on the album was... 'sounds like Gentle Giant or King Crimson or some other prog crap, it was shit and jazz the first time and now it's noisey to, great'... I like it for ALL these reasons.

Art On High and Under Hill... 
SPOILERS! (Click to view)
Went for a stomp across the Yorkshire hills with some lovely people on Sunday... all of my photos however have no people in at all. Just the wonderful sculptures that crowded the landscape... I mean, this was the purpose of the estate!
Naked Rabbit girls... Sophi Ryders exploration of her link to her mother and the lady hare... alright love, calm down.
Andy Goldsworthy..... My absolute favourite sculptor and maybe artist, his work leads it's self to photography to and it's all good. This is one of his wall pieces shot from below. Without going into too much detail, he loved and followed walls as a child, much of his work is about journeys and stone as a medium... this peice was a long stretch of the boundry wall with large trenches cut at intervals where the wall boxed out a pit trhough which a large root/tree arched from one side to the other, following the line of the wall. It was beautiful. All sorst of thing about the arterial nature of roots, branches and the built environment. Just great, made me think loads!
German functional streeet scuplture... can't remember the artist name... was called Nest 2... funky lil pavillion.
More Sophi Ryder... made from thin wire, lots of thin wire, twisted into shape. Has a hair like aethetic texture, spooky.
A bunker... one window... panoramic... door... you get it.

The Regular and The Territory... 
SPOILERS! (Click to view)
Went out with one of my most good friends on friday, Ash, she's a little wee diamond of a girl. However she has a habit of going out on her own at times and bringing the strange boys that she meets out with her later. I think mostly for my amusement.
This time she had met a couple of soldiers on the wednesday night... they were cousins. The guy in the logistics corps kept splashing the cash, he had like 200 on him and was buying everyone everything, not so bad I hear you say, but he was giving like 15 randomly to hobos and then telling me to tell my mate he'd done it.
'Tell her I gave that guy the money and laugh, yeah mate, like I'm really funny and stuff yeah? You'll do that for me won't you mates coz you're sound'
Okay... ummm... maybe. But I will be laughing at you when I do it dude, he thought silently to himself for fear of reprisal.
The guys cousin was alright, he was the regular, in the Staffs... twitched a whole lot. Blatent post trauma, but he was a perfectly sound guy with a few odd ticks is all. Loved the gay music, his older brother was a massively camp homo, so he picked up the cultiure without knowing as a kid and so knows all the good Top Gun music. Liked him..... however, tother guy. Picked a fight in the fist bar with a guy after trying to argue that calling his girlfriend hot stuff to his face, wasn't offensive. Ground 2 dirty dirty dirty 30+ girls on the dancefloor at Reflex and tried to 'give' me one, got so pushy with a girl (only vocally, but still) at a rock club we went to that she was almost in tears and was squeezing my hand and giving me scared rabbit looks while I tried to get rid of him without causing a scene (think he thought I was trying to steal her, not reading the signs and persuading him to leave the smoking area)... Jeez.
Plus side I met some old mates, Bertie and Nick, whom I have not seen in ages at one of the clubs which was lovely. We used to know each other through my old bandmates and the old Brum rave scene, but we bumped into each other slamming to Rammstein in a rock club and were all like... I didn't know you liked heavy music. We always hung out together with guys that were into DnB and Trance, lol... So we caught up on music, love, life and laundry... they both did geology at uni (our meeting ground) so travels loads for work, hence I hadn't seen em in ages.
By this time Ash was very bored and a little bit scared by the soldiers so was heading home... alone, lol. I think the guys went at the same time coz I didn't see them again all night.
While messsing about with Bertie on the dancefloor we happened apon a young girl
(I wish I had a photo of her to help explain)...
She seemed to have shoe problems thet were coming on and off... a lot. Picture a beautiful fae Arwen type girl, slender body and piercing blue eyes, blonde hair and a wicked smile that hinted at a mischief that had already exploded across your bedroom that night before you'd even met and if only you knew what she'd done... one of the most attractive and energetic manners that you'll find. Dressed in green tights and black shorts, with a black tee under a black vest and a glittering studded belt and oversized vintage worn clasp, so pretty cool. Now cross this majestic mental image, with a cave troll of the darkest Boreal forests of Norway. No joke, she was like something from a Darkthrone album cover for their latest fictional dark trance works. I love humans, the diversity of form in mankind amazes me everyday, just that a guy like Steven Tyler (with his Aztec features and that mouth) exist is amazing. She was a vision of beauty, but for very strange reasons. Anywho, when Bertie and I left the club she kinda followed us around, which was strangely sweet, her friend was a 20 stone chav, troll like, but not in the same way. None of the slight framed energy of her companion. They jumped in the taxi after us and proceeded to make trouble. We were both too tipsy and intrigued to kick them out so we went along for the ride.
After Bertie left the taxi pretty early in the journey (he only lives in the center of town) the fae blonde troll assaulted me... in the best kind of way you can be assualted, but still. It was only her dark magic that seemed to hold her from throwing her out the window. Don't get me wrong, most people would say she was hideous and definitely trouble.
All the pics are from Ash's camera so a lil bit of a lack of diversity... I still haven't got super used to having one yet.
All fun and game to begin with.
That's my... WTF are these two about dudette?... face.
Ummmm... okay.
Pretty sure I'm not seeing anyhting good here.
For those about to rock!

Fuck... they're just getting longer now I have pictures to include... I had a week of fables and frolics and parties and picnics all in technicolour and words and now I'm nearly bored of typing.
Yes... they are song titles. No... you can't have one. I can't... I'm driving. 'Me and Armini' are best friends these days and function still wins over form. The colours in the road make my mind wander down paths that lead to nowhere I knew. The autumn fires at my feet are kicked up and let loose in the winds that douse out the rain the dampens my smiles. I'm as chipper as ever.
