+Someone left a bag of "Junk" out in the hall at work. It included a Wireless Apple Mouse, some Creative Headphones, a load of Aux Cables, Kettle Leads, a Portable "Iomega" Harddrive (not sure if it works or not), and tonns more. Beyond me why half of it was thrown out.
+Writing new songs at Bobby's and Friday.
-I've had two parking tickets in under a week, after never having got one in two and half years of driving.
-My eBay being restricted, but eBay not even knowing why. Clever.
Currently wanting this.
Watch the new BMTH video if you haven't already, its fantastic;

Converge
Converge were amazing at the Underworld, no matter how many times I see them, I'm still gobsmacked as to how tight they are, its ridiculous.
I got Roman Laris's book the other day at the Dome show (which was amazing, bring back Dome shows on a Saturday), check it out, buy it, its awesome!
Its my birthday next week, the funeral the same day, good times...

Ronnie
So when I was really young and spent most of my days outside in the garden, there was a guy that used to come to our house to do gardening. His name was Ronnie. He was a friend of a friend of my Mum's I think, but either way, he was always at our house. As I said, he was a gardener by trade, but most of the time he just came to our house and just talked and drank tea etc. He didn't have any relatives left, no parents as he was old, no brothers, no sisters, nothing, so was a very lonely man. My Mum, much like me, is a worrier, so always made him welcome here.
He was really good friend to me growing up, which is important at that age. He was someone to rely on, someone to talk to, always letting me help him garden, or build something. My Mum said earlier on this evening, "he thought the world of you".
Over the years our family lost contact with him, I don't know why, I think he had a falling out with my Mum over something stupid and they never made it up, but I can't be sure.
Three Years ago my Mum got a call on her mobile from Ronnie saying he was dying. He had no-one to call except my Mum, he didn't know what to do. We rent to his flat where he lived alone in South Croydon, to find him barely able to breathe and in a total state of confusion. I can't be 100% sure he recognised me/knew who I was, but I'm pretty sure he did. It was terrible to see him like that, I can't believe it got to such a stage without anyone helping. He was taken into care shortly after.
He passed away today, aged 80.
This news has really upset me, I hope he didn't have a bad time in care, and I hope the last 3 years he spent were happier than when he lived alone.
The funeral will probably be next week, i'll go and pay my respects to someone who made me very happy in my early years.
To Ronnie, Rest In Peace.

Epic
Fail, I didn't get the job, the interview actually went really well, I prefer one on one interviews, when theres more and one person I get really intimidated. Its so annoying though, total waste of time/effort and money.
I've been writing loads in E on my Telecaster recently.
Need to record some of it, that would be fun.
I've listened to 16 hours worth of Russell Brand's old podcasts, or 960 minutes if you want to look at it that way. Only another 80 odd hours to go.
Life goes on.

Confidence
The woman from the job agency gave me a call earlier and said she'd put me forward for a temp job in Angel. She rang back a couple of hours later to say the place liked my CV and asked me to come for an interview at 11am tomorrow, which is today as I'm writing this.
On the phone, the agency woman said to me make sure you are confident in the interview, shake the guys hand firmly, look him in the eye, speak loud and clearly etc.
It got me thinking, I just can't do any of that, I can't be loud and confident and walk into a room and be like "HI, MY NAMES ANTHONY, HOWS EVERYONE DOING HERE!?".
There are some people that are like that naturally, they can just talk like water from a tap on demand. I always try and do it, and I just end up feeling stupid and go even quieter than before.
People sometimes perceive me as moody and quiet, I'm really not, I just like hearing people talk, and often don't have a relevant point to interject on.
Ah well, what a goth, hope the interview goes well, I could be starting Monday!

Metal
I really hate it when people link me Youtube videos, because I can never be bothered to watch them.
Chances are you might think the same with this, but I suggest you all watch it, as most of my friends are metal, and therefore will find this hilarious.

CD's
Does anyone else think its a shame that music is like water nowadays?
We were saying in the van a couple of weeks ago, remember the first CD's you owned, you worshipped them, I bet you knew every track, even the last few off by heart.
I remember I would buy CD's, and just put them on repeat in my room whilst playing Tony Hawks, and it never seemed boring at all. Some of my fondest memory's of CD's I did this with where, Sum 41-All Killer, No Filler, Blink 182-TOYPAJI, and Enema of The State, and Jimmy Eat World-Bleed American.
I also find it really weird how I can still remember how pretty much every song went, even to this day.
Nowadays, music is so disposable. I can just look up a band, download everything they have ever done in about 2 minutes, and then listen to the first 4 tracks of an album and judge it by that.
I really really try not to do this, but its so difficult when there's so much music to listen to, and I don't have a long attention span.
When I do find a CD I can listen to pretty much the whole way through without skipping, I think its amazing.
I can't decide whether I would prefer if I couldn't download music and had to buy CD's in order to hear a band, or just enjoy life as it is at the moment, where I update my iPod with new music almost every single night.

Fail
So, I just shaved my "beard" off, I still can't get over how much hair came off, madness.
I lasted a month and nearly two weeks, i'll miss it.
I just listened to the new Have Heart record, it alright, its not as good as the last one.
It actually sounds a lot like the last MLIW record, I can't decide if thats good or not...
I downloaded 3.5gb's worth of Russell Brand Podcast's, which is 111 hours worth and i'm slowly working my way through it, its too good.
I really like the new More Than Life song, definitely check it out.
Lastly check out a new music blog.

Ou Est Le Gare?!
Europe was incredible, by far the best tour we've ever done!
We had so much fun with BWP, those guys are the best.
On the whole the shows were great too.
The Ferry was well jokes, we saw Paramore, Theo threw his Coffee at a coach full of kids, and had an argument with some sort of Welsh Bono.
When we got off the Ferry the other side, we stopped for petrol and the van broke down. We all had to push it and it eventually started to work!
France was amazing, the show was incredible and the promoter got us a tonn of food and loads of beds to sleep in at the venue.
A few of us (including Dyas) went out in the town to find a bar or something. We heard a band playing, so followed the music. We ended up in a small bar with some jokes dude playing guitar along to a backing track. He was so funny, he did Frankie Goes To Hollywood, then some massive interlude which included a tonn of fret wankery, and then the whole song again. The whole thing was about 15 minutes long. He was wearing a trench coat, had big grey curly hair and glasses. After a while we looked round and actually realised we were in a gay bar. Especially after some drunk dude started chatting to me about his brother from London or something. We left shortly after haha.
Bobby, Tailbee and I slept in the van, which was surprisingly comfortable. As it turned out later, us three and Twig would sleep in the van every night as it was so comfortable.
On the way to Dendermonde we found out the next day was cancelled.
Again the show was amazing. The venue was really cool, it was just a scout hut kind of thing. The promoter hooked us up loads of free drinks etc (they love tokens out there), and we hung around after chatting for hours. Some people slept in the venue, and as usual we slept in the van.
We were awoken the next morning by some wankers playing drums and some other wankers swinging flags about at like 9am. Worst but oh well.
Some incredible people from the show the night before managed to sort us a last minute show in Ieper the next day, so we were moshing.
We got to Ieper, which is an amazing city and had a look around.
We all split into groups, then played a matinee show at like 4pm, so we were done by around 7pm. The show was cool considering it was organised about 15 hours before we played it. Quite alot of people turned up. We didn't get any money, but we got to play so its all good!
A few of us went to the skatepark later via the bridge everyone always goes on about. I managed to walk over it, it was pretty scary, I don't like heights!
We hung out later on by the Menin Gate, and talked for hours.
It was a great day, especially with Dyas drunk skateboarding later!
We slept in the van again, and didn't wake up til midday, finally got a lie in!
Ethe was..well very much in the middle of no-where!
We showed up and it was very dead. The venue was really really nice, but it was clear from the start that no-one was going to show up!
We played to pretty much no-one, but we had great fun. The promoter gave us our money and a load of drink/food tokens, so we stuck around after for ages, again talking and drinking.
To be honest, most of us had a fantastic time, regardless of the show!
We left just after midnight and headed straight for Duisburg, via flipping an abandoned car at some service station on the way...
We pulled up outside the venue in Duisburg at 5am, by which time it was totally light.
Bobby, Matt, Twig and I all went for a look around the practice rooms, which was well scary as it was so dark. Then we spent the next 2 hours looking around these huge works, which I still haven't worked out what they were. It was just tonns and tonns of abandoned warehouses. We looked round and managed to not get spotted.
Just as we climbed around the bushes and over the wall we heard a car fly past, we were well lucky not to be caught!
It was 7:30am by the time we got out, so we all had a wash in the street as we were really dirty from looking around the factories. I get the feeling we were the first people in there for a long long time, hence all the dust.
We walked around town, got some bread and nutella from Aldi and headed back to the vans, by which time most people were up.
I hadn't slept in so long and kept falling asleep all the time!
We went to Essen for a bit around 3pm, had pizza! Then headed back to the venue.
The show and venue was cool and the promoter paid us, so its all good.
We headed off after the show to get the 7am ferry from Calais.
Wayne drove overnight, what a king, we all fell asleep.
I slept pretty much from when we stopped in a service station in Holland to my house, apart from getting out to show our passports before we got on the ferry.
We dropped everyone off, loaded all the stuff out the van at about 10:30am at my house, then left to drop the van off. We got to Hendon at midday and dropped the van off, got the tube back to Victoria with Wayne. I said my goodbyes as he was getting on the bus (what a hero).
I got the train home, and I was so tired I got a taxi from the station, the end to an amazing tour.
Big up Wayne for being the best driver ever, he helped us out so much, and is the best dude!
The same goes for Twig, thanks for helping out with merch/van rental/everything.
And again, massive thanks to BWP for being the best band/dudes who are always up for a laugh!
Heres some of my camera photos (the quality sucks, but oh well!)

Europe
So after having the busiest day i've had in quite a while, i'm finally ready to leave for tour.
23 minutes before we are supposed to leave...
We got a much better van than we had paid for, because the van we had paid for wasn't back on time, so we got a Mercedes Sprinter for the same price. It has a PS2, and the seating space is bigger than my room. Its the best thing I have ever seen.
I met Wayne at like 1pm, and we went and got the t-shirts and then went to get the van, and didn't get back to mine til about 9. Then we had to go and pick up all the equipment, (via an amazing Dominos), but yer its all good, the hard parts out of the way, now its mosh mosh mosh.

Podcasts
Today is the 3rd week i've gone without shaving, my attempt at a beard still looks crap, but i'll still leave it til next week anyway.
Found this cool music blog here. The way to use it is "Sort by Contributor" on the right, which is cool because different people obviously favour different genre's. Theres a bit of everything on there, you just have to look around. (Don't forget to click "older posts" at the bottom to go to the next page).
I really want more Podcasts to listen to. The only one I listen to regularly is the Russell Brand (and friends) one. I know a lot of people hate him, but he is very witty and entertaining.
Polly has gone to Malta for a week, I dropped her at the airport earlier on, it was so confusing, I never realised how big Heathrow was!
The Underworld show was cool, we played well, just a shame I was pissing about trying to get the shirts for most of the evening!

We are playing The Underworld on Sunday with Your Demise/Azriel/Burn Down Rome/Throats and maybe some more, should be a good show!

Stress stress stress, will be amazing though.
We are also going to fly to Sweden in July to play a show or two, that will be un-real.

Stufff
Went to see Chris Rock at the o2 Arena on Friday night with Polly.
He was so funny. It was all new material I had never heard before, which was great.
Plus he was on for along time, around 2 hours I think!
The o2 Arena is crazy, its so big and Americanized!
We were sat in B1 on the floor if you can spot it!
(Click the picture to enlarge)
I haven't shaved in 2 weeks now (the longest i've ever left it I think), I might not shave for a while longer and see how it goes...apparently you need to leave it at least 4 weeks before deciding.
My friend James who uses eBay a lot has had his account suspended for 30 days because he got too many negative feedbacks, so he's giving me £100 to use mine for the month, good times considering I have about £20 to my name!
This week I have been mostly listening to Bayside, they are a really good band, kinda like Saves The Day meets Alkaline Trio.
I need to buy a capo for my guitar at some point.
I have been saying this for about a year, I really should just do it!

Couple of Things
Four Year Strong ruled tonight, its beyond me how that band is so good.
I found this cool blog that has alot of good music on it.
I finally got hold of the Kids In Glass Houses album!
Lastly, I like this;
"There are known knowns. These are things we know that we know.
There are known unknowns. That is to say, there are things we know we don't know .
But, there are also unknown unknowns. These are things we don't know we don't know."
-Donald Rumsfeld
Nothing groundbreaking, but the last line is scary if you think about it.

Southbank
Whilst I longed off skateboarding a long time ago, I strongly back this video, which is about saving the legendary skating area of Southbank.
Watch the video here.
Areas like this are vital to todays society. I have only ever been to Southbank a few times when I was younger, but as described in the video,the amount of people that use this area for fun/meeting new people/hanging out with friends is unreal.
It seems in todays society something is taken away from us every day. We are constantly being told what to do, but more so what not to do. There are so many things that we can do at the moment that future generations won't be able to enjoy (The closing down of many music venues in London is another thing being taken away all the time).
Whilst I agree with some of them (like the banning of drinking alcohol on public transport), others need to be fought, and this is one of them. (Incidentally two things I can see being banned in the future are; Smoking whilst driving, and listening to loud music whilst driving.)
Please take the time out to watch this video and sign the petition here.
