Newspapers, Gigs and Missing Laptops.

FIRST THINGS FIRST. I'm working for the Maidenhead Advertiser this week, and so far it has been very interesting. I've written articles, read about 4 different newspapers a day, visited a police station and watched videos the public aren't allowed to see. It's been brilliant (:
I'm hoping to get into the music side of everything, so that means all the local bands in Slough, Windsor, Maidenhead, etc. There's some band profiles that I'm gonna check out soon, so hopefully I'll be able to update them with any information that isn't already on them.
SECONDLY. So, as a carry on from that, there are a lot of gigs going on around Slough at the moment. I do enjoy going to see all the local bands, however crap they may be. I suppose it's not only the band, but the people who go. They make the atmosphere I suppose (:
THIRD. Missing Laptops. That's no fun, right? My Laptop seemed to go missing these past couple of days, HOWEVER. I have since found it because my Mum nicked it! How rude! Her excuse was that I needed to sleep more and "surf" less. That may be the case but even with two days without the laptop I'm still sleepy. Fail.


Why is it that you always take it out on me? Is it what you need, to make your life complete?

The Windsor Pork Roll Shop.

FIRST THINGS FIRST. Yes. You read it right. The Windsor Pork Roll Shop. I went into Windsor today for the first time in a few months, and quite a few things have changed in my absence. You know, the usual stuff for a recession, shops have closed down, been sold on, changed names, or just seem to have been abandoned.
But there are a few shops that you walk past and think "How the hell is that shop still in business?!" The Windsor Pork Roll Shop is a perfect example. People are running out of money or are just too scared to spend it, so why not open up a shop dedicated to Pork Rolls? Not something useful, oh no, that would be silly! Pork Rolls are what everybody needs!
So, if you find yourself in Windsor, check it out. It's near the castle, you can't miss it to be honest. I myself won't be going in, you know, the vegetarianism sorta says I have no need to, but it still made me laugh.
SECONDLY. You may have noticed that I have a lot of things to say about TWLOHA recently. Yeah, I have a reason for that, I swear. As I said in a previous post, I got my profile on the TWLOHA street team site, and the site has various activities to do, polls, chats, exclusive footage/pictures, you know, that sorta stuff, but there is also a section called "Orders." Sounds rather foreboding, right? Orders. Kinda like, "Do as I say motherf**ker or I kill your children" But no, that's not the sorta orders I'm on about. In this section they ask you to do various things to help promote the TWLOHA organisation, so that explains all my posts about them. The day they ask me to kill my children, not that I have any yet, is the day I don't fulfill my orders for them.
THIRDLY. xTHCx. Know what it means? No, I don't think you do. Stands for Taplow Hardcore. Yeah. It's about promoting the hardcore music scene in and around Slough. Basically, it's a lot of people going to a lot of gigs, and making the music scene a better place to be. I quite like the idea myself (:

Anywho, I have decided that every post will be finished off with a lyric that has stood out to me that day. Could be from any song, any band, could even be a lyric from a TV jingle. I'm that sad.

You can not kill what you did not create.

DO IT, NOW NOW NOW!

To Write Love on Her Arms [TWLOHA]

Okay, so I have been aware of TWLOHA for quite a long time now, and was considered part of the UK street team, just never had a profile on the proper site. [http://towriteloveonherarms.fancorps.com/]
So now I am a fully fledged member, I have decided to fulfill a few of the orders they ask.
Seeing as I'm in the UK and it would be hard for them to post stuff like the info cards to me, I've taken to doing the small tasks like "change your profile picture to the TWLOHA logo and print-screen it for proof" I mean, that's cool right?
It could make people more aware of them, yeah? So, I'm doing what I can. Go find out about TWLOHA and what they do, you don't have to be religious, because, lets face it, if you did have to believe in God I wouldn't be involved in it. Wow. If there is a God I'm going to hell just for that statement. Whoopsie.
It's all pretty cool. They were on Warped Tour - TWLOHA are pretty big on the "alternative" music scene right now. So yeah boy and doll face - go check it (Y)
Tell them to look up - tell them to remember the stars.

New Blogs, Lip Piercings and Killer Cats

FIRST THINGS FIRST. New blog, ayee? It's got the same name as the last one. I only got a new one because well... I suck at remembering passwords, and I seem to have forgotten the old one! That's no good, no good at all. I won't forgot this one though, because Windows Vista is so kind as too supply it's users with little "post-it-notes" that tag onto your desktop. Vista users know what I mean, yeah? Yeah. Those things. So if anyone looks over my shoulder when I have no windows up, they will know all my log-in details. Not the best way to store information like that, but what can you do.
SECONDLY. LIP PIERCINGS hurt like a mo'fo at first, I can tell you. Needles through skin, youch. But once the stud is in there, it's all good in the hood (: I got mine done a few days ago now, and it's fine. I love it. Just a silver stud at the moment, but this could change...
THIRDLY. Killer cats? Wait, what? Killer cats? Yeah Killer Cats. They're cats and they kill. Well... maybe not kill. But they savage. My cat is the perfect example. I turned the TV on and the volume was, I admit, really loud. My cat, being the coward he is, decided not to just get up and run away from the nasty sound, but to get up, savage my stomach, then run away from the nasty sound... what a mean kitty.
