I actually forgot i still had this. My last entry was about Japan and going to see walk the plank and such, wow it really has been a while, i'm sorry to the thousands of people who read this everyday.
Anyway in short let me sum up whats happened in the last few months.
-worked at sovereign
-doled about
-turned 20
-sorted out university placement for september 2006, i'm going to coventry!!! so so so stoked!
-got 3rd in a comp at manchester and 1st at a comp in clitheroe, unsponsered catorgory but cool fun radness.
-started work at KFC to pay off final JAPAN TOUR 2006 TOUR with melon, zoro and novan (frock). Its not the worst place i have ever worked, customers can be rather mean at times but most the time its cool.
can't wait for that, its gunna rule. Other than above i just skated a lot and met some new forum buddys here and there.
So yeh innabit. |

As usual sincere apologies to live journal for neglect and not giving it too much love. kiss kiss hug hug, yadda yadda yadda.
Lots has happened since my last entry (a tatooine winter ago) but heres the basics.
Went to Japan, Absoloutely amazing.
Quit Job, Unemployment is good but the cash is now beginning to slowly go down the drain...
Broke Arm 2 times after the last entry ( i think) Its now been almost 8 weeks since the third break, but it should all be back to normal (sort of) in 2 more weeks.
The bone has healed, crooked, so i have a wonky arm. I am the Barrow Chalba.
Many friends have moved away to Uni. I need to Get myself to one next year.
So far i have done very little about that....
I'm going to see walk the plank tomorrow. I wish i had a snazzy camera.
Anyway today has been well, pretty rad. A couple weeks ago i decided that i must goto the Heroin Skateboards, Live in antartica Premire in London. Everything was pretty much sorted, until boom, i come to buy the train ticket. a letter drops through my door saying i have to renew the rail pass card. no card means no cheapness, no job means very little money, very little money means *sob* i can't go. Pretty heartbroken i explained t o friends i can't go. Then today a miracle a kind chap (novan) sends me a message saying he has my LFA ticket and has sent me £20 to renew my train pass! My god what a hero so frock a big thankyou to you!
then to make things even better i went out and had a lonesome skate by myself and got wallrides off flat back! even better then i previously had them! so stoked! i am now sat here happily eating 2 slices of jam covered toast and a well earned brew, bed soon must be fresh for Walk the plank tomorrow!
Ta raaa! |

Not such a great weekend but we i invented a new game! FRISBOARD!
basically i was down the shack minus the skate board as it's not long till i'm healed so i am being sensible and not skating for a bit...
i found a frisbee and we all decided to play. it was great fun until it flew under one of the ramps and was unreachable. jokingly i picked up a large square messed up peice of masonite and threw that. all of a sudden it was on with iain and antony chucking the thing at each other full force. i didn't play as catching it with one arm would have been very painful. but it was funny as hell to see this large peice of wood going back and forth with some force, nearly killing iain and antony!
approximately 25 days until i leave work and abit more till my arm should be a Ok. |

crikey, i'm sorry i neglect you LJ! but i think you dserve another entry, i hope it doesn't bore.
this weekend was rad. i was feeling pretty shitty all week but this weekend made me feel happy happy happy again.
Friday was rad. after work i was invited to a party at Byron's and i went down. I met a few of his friends from university, Si, Toby and Shivonne (spelling is overrated). they were all pretty cool and super friendly and it was nice to meet some new people. Jayson, Station and some others were allready down Byrons and they were all drunk/stoned. Jay's offered me a can of guinness i could not refuse then we all got a taxi to the cross bar where a gig was.
As we arrived i realised that it was £4 entry, or you had to have a ticket. i had no ticket and i wasn't going to pay £4. i ran into the toilets and saw the singer from Legohair. "hey dude help me sneak in?" so i took my hat off and stuck my head under the tap and turned on the water. the illusion of sweat. then i put my arm around him and walked out yelling and saying"im so pissed haha what a rad night" the door guy fell for it and i was in for free! unfortunately Byron and his friends were denied and im unsure why. Jayson got in and the night was rad. i drank some good ol J.D's and coke and danced like crazy to legohair and teh main act Adjevorpourav (weird name). the last act were amzing and did a buzzcocks cover too. i was even invited to sng the chorus! and it felt so good. As the act finised Adam invited me to a party at his house and i got a lift all the way up holbeck.
when we got there i drank some more and then got stoned with a customer i had served in the shop earlier that day. then i found a bed and passed out for a couple hours. when i woke up 2 people were in front of me snorting cocaine, which freeked the hell out of me and in my drunk/conffused state i found a towel, wrapped it round myself and began the 2 hour walk home.
the streets were real quiet and it was quite cold. after an hour or so of walking i reached byrons house and stood outside for 5 minites contemplateing if i should walk in and ask if i could crash. I walked in and he said it was cool so i crashed. when i woke up i didn't realise where i was, when i did i walked home and fell asleep for another 30 minites.
work that day was funny cause i was sorta stoned still and quite tired. but it soon passed and after it i had a very mellow skate which was fun.
Byron phoned up again and invitedme down his house to watch a film so i went down and watched Baseketball, which was pretty good. then i came home and had an early night.
Today i woke up at 12 and felt awesome. i went down to the shack (our local ghetto as hell) skatepark. it was real fun and i got some new tricks after many many slams so i was stoked. i finally did the rail as well that 3 years ago fucked my back up. so good good.
when i got home i had a weird argument with my mum and sister and went to my room in a pissed off manner. then ste came round and we went out for what turned out to be a real fun and different skate.
i got home and Byron phoned up again! this time he was going to the last orders and invited me since he and his friends were going back to uni the next day. i went down but it was a lock in. we tried the duke but that too was closed. in the end they all came back to mine and met my dogs haha then they went home.
so my weekend really cheered me up as lately i have been quite upset and a bit annoyed at crap, mainly work.
ah well soon i'lll be in japan, then i'll have no work for a couple of months and hopefully i'll have a car and a drivers license!
2 words : ROAD TRIP!

Haha i always forget i have an LJ account. but i use this for more breif entries so here goes, what have i been doing since my last entry.
Well i've been working of course, saving up for the trip to Japan on the 14th of May. I informed my mother of this and i also said that a week before i go i am quitting my job, she freaked out.
"You can't give up your Job! So what i'll have you, Andy and your f**king sister on the dole!!?" then she went off on one as usual. I explained that if i am to go back to college and hopefully university next year i need to give up my fulltime job and get a part time job (Which hopefully allows me to have weekends free, so im going to have to try hard!).
I've been learning to drive as well and so far all is going well. As soon as i can drive I'll be everywhere. I love to travel. love to meet new people and of course love to skate.
Oh yeh I've also been skateing a hell of a lot. Last week i had my holiday in Bristol staying at my friend's house, bob. It was an amazing week full of skating, laughs and good memories. I also met up with my good buddy Frontsiderocker (Mark hewitt) aka novan on here. We had a really good vert session and i met a true british legend, Mr sean goff. i tried to introduce myself but stammered and was dumb struck. Mark also brought me gifts! the robot rules dude, thankyou!
Oh yeh i turned 19... nearly 20 thats halfway off 40. i should grow up im told.
but i'm not that</> much of a boring bastard! |

i ahven't really updated this for a while, i'm sorry i'm more of a diaryland whore....tut tut.
Been doing the usual lately, skateing, sleeping, wishing, working. There was an allnighter in bolton, that was swell.
stareing into my cats eyes, i really don't know what to write, it's hard to be inspired anymore. I'm missing someone deeply but feel to scared to write or talk.
I bought the first interpol album thhe other day, i downloaded some of their songs, i found it only fair to buy an album.
i think i have to buy the second one now though, there songs truely are splendid. |

Merry Xmas. it wasn't too bad. i got a cool jumper, so woo. Gran got drunk and it snowed! which was awesome. i chucked a snowball at my sister too, so that was grand.
Went to blackpool today to skate. i was getting super close to rock and roll's on the huge vert ramp (13ft) but one kneeslide attempt hurt my foot dam bad then it was time to go which sorta sucked. Other than that i had a good skate.
Err not much to speek about really. Think i have band practice tomorrow. should be fun since we haven't practiced in ages due to everyone(bar me) being at university.
Later. |

Hey.
Losing my LJ virginity right now (I'm sorry But my account over at diaryland has been used muchly and still is, trust me after readingthis you'll want the 5 minutes of your life back....maybe).
So um yeh... what did i do today? well i woke up at 9:45, 15 minutes to get to work, good start ey? It's 5 days from christmas, so it was super busy today which sorta sucked. To top it off the owner or Boss decided to have a go at me for not counting those horrible, shitty berny's jeans i was supposed to see what we had in stock. Even though Saturday was busy, which i explained and today was also busy, with only myself working in the shop. You know the cups "worlds gretest {insert dad,mum, sex machine here}" mugs? well my boss would get the "worlds Biggest dickhead, prick, wanker, bastard, cum lord and douchebag" award, no kidding.
No worries in 2 months i can quit, woo hoo!
anyway, my plans to skate after work were dampened, well soaked. it was raining y'see? So no skate for me. which sucked.
ah what a moany entry. biscuits and tea is what i need right now.
Sayonara! |
