So it's been over a year since my last journal entry and deviation. Kind of given up on writing, last year or so I've been focusing all of my limited creativity into my music, which I obviously can't post on here. Also just finished my first year of uni. I'm really not sure if anyone reads this but just incase, you can check out my tracks over on Myspace. If you're into jungle, old school drum&bass, ambient/chillout or the occasional bit of grime and dubstep. It varies but most of it would lie probably lie in the catagory of jungle/electronica.

There we go, I'm sorry to anybody I watch that I haven't been following their art for a long time. I suppose this website just isn't a priority anymore. I'm still reading a select few people's journals though, silently.

Another update next year maybe.

The tracks we recorded/produced at my college are finished and up, please take a listen

Listen to A Bloodstained Sunset if you want an idea of what my band are like (it's long but if you make it to the outro, you're in for a treat!!), but if you want to hear my singing my latest deviation along to an acoustic guitar, check out Just Words Part II (Acoustic)

Enjoy!

It's been snowing shitloads the last two days. We haven't had snow in like a year (last time I wrote a journal about snow was November 27th 2005), and it's a bit late for Christmas but early for the next one. Also, I just took a driving lesson in the snow and it's fucking awesome, surprisingly relaxing...even though you have to crawl along everywhere, you can enjoy the scenery and get snowballs chucked at your car by shitty kids being sent home from school...

I need to finish a portfolio to send off to uni next week, I'm writing a couple of new tracks so I'd better get on with that. Deadline is Friday but I'm in London from Tuesday to Thursday (romantic Valentines Day thingy for my other half, we're seeing a show...) so it'll need to be in the post on Monday.

Managed to get all my shopping finished today. Just need to wrap it now, that's a job for tomorrow night...in keeping with my trademark last-minute-ness.

Speaking of last minute, I also need to apply for uni at some point before January 15th. Problem is, I'll be getting the new Zelda for Christmas so from then onwards it's gonna be hard to tear myself away from my Gamecube. Maybe I should try and fill out some UCAS stuff tonight.

I also need to put music and foley to a couple of wildlife clips for college. Should be kind of fun. Apart from that, things are all good. I think we can safely say that me writing poetry is not likely to happen again, judging on the fact that the last one I submitted was nearing a year ago.

My band have been in the college studios again, managed to get the drums and guitars for two tracks down so far. Our tracks are a pain in the arse to record because we have a habit of accidentally inserting a lot of tempo changes in the songs. Anyway, they should be finished sometime in January, aswell as hopefully an acoustic track (which I will probably sing), and then we can stick all 4 of our recorded tracks on a demo to give out at gigs, or so is the plan. We've been writing new material and improving old songs, so we're hoping to get back into the swing of gigging in the new year.

I stole my brother's acoustic guitar and have been playing that alot. I'm not very good but it's so much fun to play, I'm pretty fast at picking up tabs too so it's all good.

I can't really think of anything else to write about. So happy christmas and stuff to anyone who reads this, get fat and get wasted.

A guy I watch, ~steampunk, offered 9 people free sketches. I got in there and he drew me a kickass sketch of Batou from Ghost In The Shell ([link]). Check it out, and go check out his page, he does some kickass art
