Well the weekend was shite, was stuck in at work for most of it. Fucking 10 hour shift on Sunday there when I was meant to only be doing 6. At least it's money though eh?

Apart from work though I have been rather busy on the guitar, my 7 string is helping me wonders in writing new stuff so I'm fair excited about that. Trying to find other bands who use 7 string guitars so I can learn as much as I can on the instrument, so far I've got Trivium, The Black Dahlia Murder, Dead By April and Dream Theatre. It's insane some of the stuff thats played.

Going to see Lamb of God and Between the Buried and Me this week so I'm really chuffed with that, I've been pumped for weeks and now its finally time! I can't actually wait, but I guess I'll have to. I'm mainly looking forward to Between the Buried and Me, they're my favourite band at the moment, I just hope they play Prequel to the Sequel or Autodidact.

Other than that not really much going on, not had time for much else, but I shall keep thee posted.

Fire retardant bins

Something just occured to me thats really really really annoyed me. I don't know why I'm writting this but I am, does it make any sense to anyone else that, imagine if you will, your house is burning down, you rush the family outside the house, grabbing no possessions on the way out the door just making sure everyones out.

Later on the fire's put out, everything is destroyed in the house, absolutely everything... only you have a fire retardant bin!!
The fireman approaches and says "I'm sorry for your loss, I truely am, but we did find last nights dinner in the bin so at least you can eat."

Bugger that!

The Prequel...

Well here we are, my first blog really, never tried anything like this so I don't really know where to start except at the begining eh?

Had some problems at home and college really, nothing major I guess, just alot of stuff catching up on me and its all arrived at once I guess. I got diagnosed with insomnia a few weeks back, I thought it was getting better, the doctor gave me some tablets which helped for a while, but now my bodies adjusting to them and they're no longer effective. This is effecting everything I do, at home and college as I'm constantly tired, but I get used to it.

College things have been cleared up, spoken to Andrew about it, just got to get my arse in gear and get things down, it will be done.

Got a couple of things to look forward to in the next coming weeks too. I'm getting to see my favourite band next Thursday and I've never been so fucking excited in my entire life! Between the Buried and Me, this could be a one off chance that they play and I'm getting to go see them, I'm so hyped it's unreal!!! So thats next Thursday.

Got Trivium in March after that, so at least I have a recovery period as this is gonna be one brutal gig.

I recently bought a 7 string off Ryan so I've been playing that and getting used to the ins and outs of the guitar, it's amazing. Never played anything like it, so I'm finding all the bands that I know use seven strings and have been learning them like mad, Triviums Shogun album was first, got Torn Between Scylla And Charybdis nailed, moving onto Throes of Perdition next.

Well thats me about done for now, as I said this is the first blog I've written so yeah, might not be great, but thats been everything thats been happening lately. Have fun Y'all!!
