While eating copius amounts of pasta

It's Tuesday afternoon and the sun has reared it's face for the first time in 3 days I think. I am happy :D

Re a lot of the comments on my last blog: I AM NOT SAD! I AM A HAPPY PERSON! I read all the comments with everyone telling me to cheer up and that it'll be alright and I was like "why? what's wrong with me?" *shrug* I did a bit of ranting i'll admit but really I'm fine guys, no need to sound so concerned. Ajma :)

I mentioned the Spring affecting ze creative processes... got another song I'm working on, which I shall now share with you... it's called Reign...

I've got doubts runnin' through my mind
About the life I'm livin', like where is it all going
Started out with the best of intentions
But somehow my directions got lost in my translation
Along the way, Lord won't you please show me
The path that you've made for me, a better-ending story
Cause I want to be what you want for me
And what you want for me is so beyond me
So won't you

Reign, and let Your Kingdom come

I've got doubts and about a hundred questions
Philosophical reflections, human interpretations
Of this life and our day to day livin
The love I should be givin' I can't find it within'
Myself, and nobody's got the answers, it's like the blind leading
The blind leading the blind, won't you help me find my way
Back to you, Father true and merciful
I'm asking please won't you

Reign, and let Your Kingdom come

If you would come and take your place
In this heart of mine
In this heart of mine

Out.

We only have One Life

Take a deep breath in. Hold it. And exhale. This is going to be a long post... and rather disjointed...

This morning has not been good. Last night I was in a bit of a mood, those you know me well enough noticed I think. I think it was the product of a band session which was a bit of a let down. I was really, really looking forward to it (especially after a weekend being relatively trapped in a hotel talking about hospital experiences and how I feel about the course and bla bla). I did kind of enjoy it, it was everything I expected it to be, and at the same time not. That hall really does not help, mike's never happy with his sound (cause of the reverb), I can never really hear anything well (cause of the reverb) and mig keeps forgetting what he has to play (because of the drugs :P). Add to that the absence of a bass player (Ian i know you're busy, we miss you), a pianist and a decent singer. eh. Anyways this left me feeling a bit, well disappointed. Wasn't in a bad mood or anything, just kind of detached all night. Kinda thing. So yes, this morning:
> I woke up from having that general feeling last night
> I had a friggin weird dream. I don't know what it involved exactly except that a lot of well you guys who read this were in it, and it involved a large white house, and I don't mean obamaism.
> Lost an hour of sleep.
> Wanted to wake up at 8 to get an early start on my assignments. Either my alarm didn't ring or i switched it off in my sleep. I woke up at 10 dazed and confused.
> The sky looks like someone vomited on it.
> No milk... which means no cereal.... which means no breakfast....
> I get an email informing me i have a mock exam in 2 weeks, and actual exams in 4.

Meh. Bear in mind I haven't shaved for about 2 weeks now so I look like darwin's evolution drawings, about 3 stages back, but then what's new.

Exams, exams, exams. They're getting really close now, and I have so, so, so, so, so much i have to cover. The fact that I've got things like youthful worship, the conference and the mime, worship team, giving my slum survivor witness on friday, possibly animating millenium chapel BJ's mass thingy, and who knows what else going on does not help. At all. Eh, the stress begins... well relative stress, I seem to not be able to get too stressed about exams these days, life is too short to get stressed. "Life is too short to have bad tone". Mike told me that yesterday, it's a quote from the Droff (Hillsong's premier guitarist). I'm getting into my guitarry nature again. I've spent a good couple of years heavily focused on acoustics and songwriting, and while that's not going to change, the electric is calling me back again. I spent a good amount of time geeking out about fenders and pedals and all things techie with Mike last night, was great (sorry Achie :P).

Anyway the stress crunch is here. I have to stay in all day to finish my family medicine and behavioural science assignments so maybe I can start studying from tomorrow. Behavioural seminar thing (the one i finished yesterday) actually wasn't all that bad this year. We had to watch Patch Adams (again) and ER (the george clooney days) and then reflect on issues mentioned and blar blar. Hurr hurr. I enjoyed it cause our tutor for the weekend was ok, and cause I got to relate to some people in my group who are having doubts about the course too. ^^ I got a cold from it all though *sniff*

I've noticed I've developed a coping mechanism for having lots of work to do which involves listening to copious amounts of a certain artist. Last year it was Jack Johnson *visualise beaches and flip flops*. This year it's looking like it's going to be JJ Heller (Thanks Achie :D). I've been listening to her on loop for the last few days and it's just worked it's way into my system, so much so that I've found myself randomly muttering lyrics to myself now and then. I love how songs can do that, they can become part of you and even though after a while you'll get tired of them and you'll move on to something else, there will always be that imprint of particular song or artist on you.

Speaking of songs, I've been writing quite a few of them. I think there's something about Spring, the weather, the hormones, the promise of new things and the hope of greater heights... Last year my creativity went into overdrive, I was writing songs upon songs, most of which I've forgotten, the good ones I've retained. And 2 of them made it into the recording we did which incidentally was this time last year too. I miss the studio. To be frank it was an immensely humbling experience. Only in the clarity of the studio can you see so vivdly how far you still have to go. That said, we learned so much from the experience (which is good cause i don't really like the final product of the songs we recorded). I've had a growing longing for the past couple of years to get into production, I've always loved it, seeing a song form and become real from basic odds and ends, become something beautiful and personal and living. I think my attraction to film stems from that too. I haven't had much time to write this year, both in terms of songs and poems (which I had promised myself I'd take up again but the few I had got down to doing were on my stolen macbook :'( ). Here's just a little fragment of something I'm working on, I hope I get down to writing it:

All I can do is wait for grace
All I can do is seek your face
In quiet be found
In stillness I wait

You laid down your life, You took my place
And all that I've known
Echoes this thing
This beautiful thing

But we are waiting for a greater glory to fall

The lenten talks have been great as regards inspiration. A big big congrats to everyone involved, it was brilliant! Personally it gave me a bit more of a drive, of connecting with a God who plans for things so great that our heads would just explode if we knew about them now. At one point during the adoration on Thursday I just picked up my phone and started typing out lyrics. It really was great :)

I probably had other things to talk about but I can't remember at this point in time. Love is.

Out.

The BiBlog Experiment

Disclaimer: The following blog is in conjunction with Mr Xmun Callus, who's blog may be found here. Please refer to it in order to make a complete reading of that found here-under. You are about to get confused. Less than three.

As I type this I'm sitting in the communications lab which I have found is a refuge of all things mac on campus. It is rather glorious. §

Indeed. I've also decided that being Fr Mike's personal secretary is rather nice. AND we had sugar cubes! §

I agreed. Insomma, as you can imagine we're both skiving lectures, surprise surprise. Technically we're here to work on assignments. We'll get to that in a bit. §

Illallu, it was brilliant. The dance was fantastic, even though there was the sound mishap. It made me actually want to be involved in a dance like that.... And the worship was brilliant, kudos to Sam and the band ;) §

Yup, pretty much. I'm really looking forward to the rest of them :) Sim I really liked that shot you took of Sam's back by the way, very cool. §

(I've been checking Sim's spelling for those of you who know him well enough... I think that's all of you really... it should be decent this time :P) Something I realised from yesterday is just how long it's been since I sat with the congregation. I've been part of worship team for about 4 years now and not playing during worship is quite a strange sensation, it's like I don't know what to do with myself. Though then again it's nice to be able to just get lost in the worship instead of having to deal with technical problems and trying to think of what song should be played next and where the Spirit is leading us. §

Still though, I wouldn't trade worshipping through the music, it's become part of who I am. Simon has lectures on journalism and next year on photography.... I hate him. I hate you too Malcom, you smug b*****d. 2 years..... 2 more years.... if I pass my exams this year insomma... exams are really getting close and my brain has lost the ability to worry about these things... flip flops :) §

Yar, and you're pretty damn good at it ;) One of my biggest problems is that I like too many things - music, art and design, and now I'm really getting into film (though not in the same sense as Sim, more in terms of scripting, direction and storyboarding). You see my problem? I think it's because I like so many things that I never just concentrate on one and become very good at just that... which leaves me being diverse yet mediocre... §

VESPAS biznitch!! §

It's actually so much fun not knowing where you're headed in life. Who wants a schedule? After all this mayhem, I'm pretty sure I'm going to look back on it all and laugh. With a good few stories to tell. Life is for living after all. §

Ditto dude. Though you really should cut down, two sugars is more than enough. I'm not going to take care of you when you're 50 and diabetic. §

Right...... As Jack sends us drifting into the afternoon I think we should leave you here, confused and muttering to yourself. Oh, and one last thing... §

Out.

The Matrix has You

Bonjour, le petit grenouille sur le tete de la vache qui tomber est frappe sur ton pantalon. Bien sur.

Pretty sure I got some of the grammar wrong there but it's been a while since o level french. Recap on the weekend shall we?

Friday: Led worship at community. I think it's the third time I've had to lead there and I'm still trying to find my footing, I'm not as comfortable there as at YouthfulWorship yet... then went off to the launch of Y4J band's new album :) By the time we got there they'd already finished, but socialising was fun and being us we ended up rolling wires with the team hehe it was actually fun to do cause we weren't obliged to. Been listening to the CD over the weekend, good work guys! I especially like the voices, some real good talent there. There's always more though, so keep at it! XD

Saturday: After the weekly saturday lunch with my dad went off to have a jam session with mig, mike and ian. Was really great to meet up, working on a couple of new songs too which i always love doing. We really need to find a new place to meet though, the reverb in that hall is ridiculous... after that went over to the st julians church and joined in some of the intercession for the lenten talks. The Spirit in that place was amazing. I really miss being able to praise and worship with people in my generation, going round to y4j again has been rekindling a passion that fell asleep for a while I think. Bring on the talks!
After that we went, to my shame, to macdonalds (I'm sorry Kris, I know). I even ate. I have to admit, it didn't taste like dead gazelle this time. Spent the whole evening there which was actually really fun.

Nothing interesting to share today,a thousand apologies. Paula made a great vid of the picnic last thursday, I don't know if it's anywhere on the net though.

Out.

Guess who...

Yeah, I'm back. Again.

Been reading everyone's blogs and basically I started missing writing again, so yeah I'm going to give the blog a try for like the fourth time I think. Again, I promise nothing, in the sense that what will be written here is largely a stream of conscious from my random days to the confusing clockwork of my brain. Oo err. And Kris you can read this so I don't have to write an email every time too :P

I'm going to start with the new look. I hope you like it. I don't mind it so much, an improvement on the other one at least. I spent about an hour cruising that meffing site trying to find one that I liked and the artistic perfectionist in me came out, the bastard. Clicking the "next" button became a compulsion that I just couldn't say no to. Ranting already, woo.

To be honest I don't have much to say. Yesterday was brilliant (as Simon's already mentioned most of). I haven't had that much fun in a field in aaaages, especially the frisbie game... even though we killed half the foliage... it'll grow back though XD Had uni today, I was really really tired though. Took me ages to sleep and when I did I had some really weird dream about what I can't remember except for the fact that it was really weird... Was supposed to have lectures till 3 but the last 2 didn't turn up and we ended up waiting for an hour for nothing. Lovely. Got community tonight and then off to meet whoever at whatever is left of the cd launch...

Anyways, since i spent all afternoon looking for the backdrop I'll stop here. Follow n that if you like.

Out.

Yes, I am this bored

So, what does your average guy do when he doesn't feel like studying renal pathology like he should and the slow internet connection deprives him of his most beloved House? Ta Daa! I am now going to proceed to ramble on about various disjointed things... don't look down...

New Year's Resolution. Every year most people make one. Every year almost all of those people have broken it by January 2nd, and that's the few that make it that far. Last year my resolution was to try be more outgoing, especially with people I already know. You know how sometimes you'll pass by an acquaintance in the road and you're not sure whether to say hi or just keep walking and you end up in this whole inward awkward situation? No? Just me then... anyway this resolution usually ended up with me shouting people's names from across the road or uni quad among other places. Went overboard a little i think, but hey it was part of the fun. Point being, i did stick to it to a certain extent and this year I have a new one. Put simply and rather artistically, it's to replace fear with love. I got thinking over the last few months about how many things we do in life are motivated by fear... of embarassment, of consequences and who knows what else. Well I'm trying to put an end to that as much as i can. I know i can't completely eradicate it, but i want to do things cause i'm passionate about it or cause i want to help people, not because i'll feel guilty if i don't.... this is going to turn into a long blog, i can feel it.

Recently I've been thinking about all the things i want to do in life and have started to think that there may come a point when i actually won't be able to do them. I mean, finish university, start working, eventually (God willing) get married, settle down and then *BAM* you're meffed. You spent your youth hanging out with your friends and advancing your career and now you're an adult. You have responsibilities. Deal with it. Scary. Well, I want to try and take one year out of that whole shindig and do all my bucketlist of things. So what's on my bucket list?

1. Go (back) to New Zealand and Australia and live there for a few months (note: the rest on the list will take place there or in the following places). 
2. Get a job in some silly surf shack. 
3. Go to Japan and America while I'm at it.
4. Learn to surf. Do it a lot.
5. Buy a vespa.
6. Go skydiving and base jumping. Yes, with Simon.
7. Go snowboarding.
8. Go horse-riding across the NZ farmland.
9. Learn to do the Hacka.
10. Visit an old Japanese temple, sit under a cherry tree, buy underwear from a vending machine (you gotta love Japan).
11. Go to Hillsong.
12. Buy a didjeridoo.

I originally only had up to no. 7 but made up the others for good measure :)

Out.

Alive, alive, alive forevermore

Hey kids, yeah, wow huh? 

I don't really intend to keep this up... and seeing as when I do intend to I don't... so not much hope is there? Anyway, I'm humoring Simon with this meme thing... here goes...

Matt needs to not play every little blog meme that comes along... (I'm not even kidding)

Matt looks like the Hulk pictures from skateboarding photos (shrug)

Matt says 'where the hell is Matt' (...)

Matt wants to sleep with Chelsia (I swear I don't know anyone named Chelsia but there's a youtube vid if you're interested)

Matt does silly stuff (hurrah!)

Matt hates cold weather (not so much)

Matt asks Lita to marry him (....what is it with the women?...)

Matt likes pulp in his orange juice (if it's tropicana I do actually..)

Matt eats John's Balls Jr.'s sportswriter profile (erm...)

Matt wears shorts during Suzuki Sx4

Matt was arrested for excessive speeding

Matt loves to ride the pole!

Ok.... sooo......

Long days and Green Men

I have had a long long day. Went in to Valletta at 8 this morning to get my passport done, then Uni to help finish off anatomy project since it's due today. Thanks Chris and Claire for letting me leave early :) Submitted my physio essay yesterday for reviewing, now I hope I won't have to change or add anything... Want to do pharma assignment on Sunday so next week I can start studying hard... I'm so busy at the moment it's not even funny, apologies to everyone if I'm nervous at times... ajma...

Off to Mass in Zebbug tonight, then prob Dubliner's after. I know it's Duluri but I really need a drink tonight, just one of those days.

Wanted to share this, Edward Norton as the Hulk! Maybe this time it'll be good...

Out.

Not of this world

Hey everyone. Since my last blog I've almost finished my physio project, hopefully will get it done today :) Anyways, I want to talk about yesterday...

Last night I wasn't in the mood for staying at home working on the project, so I decided to go to the mass meeting at the fosos with Simon, Lara, Angie and Sarah. It was quite fun, though I think the others thought I wasn't really enjoying it... actually I was taking it in for most of the time, I hadn't been to a mass meeting since I was little. Met a few people there like Brian, Doreen and Daniel, as well as Bianca, Andrea and co. Also saw Max, Danila and Emma, hadn't seen them in yeeeaaaarrsss! Insomma, waited aaages for Gonzi to come out, and once he did, waited ages for him to give it a rest. PN good, Sant bad, we know, we know. Jumped around like idiots a lot, espeically in the rain at the party after... which turned into more of a rave...

Now, I don't want to put down mass meetings or anything, but I reflected on something this morning. Thing is last night I felt weird being there, cause I've gotten so used to cheering and shouting and jumping for one thing - God. It was really strange to be there and seeing so many people going crazy for a guy in a suit... Don't get me wrong, I like Gonzi just as much as the next nationalist, and I know the party's done/doing a lot of good for the country. But still, cheering, jumping, shouting and all that still felt kind of.. empty. I remarked about it to Simon and he just said it's a bit of fun for it's own sake. I know that, and I'm not saying it's wrong. I just found myself wishing I could see people acting this way for God, becuase HE is who is worth our praise! It's so strange how people can get fanatical about political parties, even turning it into idolatry, and then be so indifferent to God. It shows the Devil's got his hands around thing Earth, and it's so sad...

I felt really out of place at one point, and I do kinda now, looking back on it. And you know what? I thank God for that. If you feel out of place on this Earth then that shows that you are searching for a home that is not of this Earth, and that is precisely how I feel, praise God! It may sound strange, but I hope all of you feel that way too, or come to, cause if you have met Jesus, if you've given your life to Him, you are not of this Earth.



Out.

Colour me black and yellow

Waaaaaaah I've been busy lately, or more accurately, am in a general state of busy-ness that should last for the next 3 months or so. Reasons for this aaaaaare:

1. Projects. I hate projects. I hate research even more. My anatomy project is due next week and my physio project is due by the end of the month. I am attempting to get both finished by friday this week. Then next week hopefully I'll start and finish my pharmacology project which is also due by the end of the month, which by the way, is about some kind of laxative. I hate projects. When I actually do finish these I have to start studying seriously for my finals which begin last week of May. Oh joy.

2. The boys and I are finally getting down to working on our own material. I'm very very very happy about this, and I'm liking what's coming out a lot, praise God. A lot more developments are on the horizon but I won't discuss those as yet seeing as everything is still in its early stages and nothing is definite as yet, the point being we've had to step up our schedule considerably and that means more time rehearsing and writing. More updates later on, but let's say God is very faithful. VERY faithful :D

3. Got a few other odds and ends that are gonna keep me occupied, like filming for 4given, weekend retreats, going abroad with Mike to Prague in April for the RELaY conference, and possibly other things that I can't recall at this point in time. Oh yeah, Resident Evil 5 comes out at the end of the month and Metal Gear Solid 4 on June 12th... I need to make time or sleep less...

So yeah, busy. I kind of really want to know my exam dates (I only know 3 out of 8 so far) cause my uncle's going up to some festival in England (or maybe Scotland, I don't remember) for a weekend in June and he's gonna watch Delirious? and David Crowder Band live in concert, so naturally I want to go. My mom told me if I was interested she's pay for me to go up, so naturally I really want to go. Thing is my finals are in June so basically I'm kind of screwed over... ah well...

Election week this week, my first time voting. I'm not exactly excited or particularly interested, though for the first time I found myself learning certain things about politics and the way things are going. Jen's dad (the legend himself) and the whole scenario with Sant that's going on at the moment is particularly amusing. I just really hope we come up, and I'm taking a positive attitude about it. Plus I really wanna go car-cading on Sunday XD

Last note: I finished Uncharted: Drake's fortune a couple of weeks ago and COD4 this afternoon. Both very very good games, thanks Mike :)

Out.

Ready Now

Heyo, got a busy weekend coming up - Behavioural sciences weekend from this afternoon till Saturday afternoon, dvd night thing at community on Sat evening, going to Qrendi at 8 in the morning on Sunday to animate the mass, and got a lovely dvd/meal at Dan's place Sunday night. Tis lovely indeed!

Life at the moment feels pretty weird I gotta say. As far as everyday life goes, I think I've gotten used to being single again now and I'm pretty free, enjoying the little everyday things and even uni isn't getting me down anymore.... though I know I still have loads of work to do but I can fret about that later. Spiritually I feel like I'm going through a renewal, coming out of that stale feeling I experienced. It's that feeling that propelled me to start listening to 'normal' music for example, which was nice for the time, but now I feel I'm being called back... I'm going deeper and I want to go deeper. It's a great feeling, and rather exciting too. I think it has a lot to do with all the stuff that's happening collectively in the group (you know who you are ;P). In short, it feels strange cause at the moment my life has a lot of things on the horizon, a lot of change and renewal... I don't know if you get what I mean but lets just say spring this year is really going to mean new life for me :D Meh, I've got a whole weekend of this intrapersonal stuff and i'm already babbling about my feelings...

Yesterday I discovered the 'Desperation Band'. I love them, I really do, that perfect passionate feeling of praise and worship, it really gets me lost in the moment...





Out.

It's THAT day of the year

Out XD

Missing the Feeling of...

When nature calls

Ajma ajma. Just spent a couple o hours writing a bit of my physio essay. It's taking longer than I'd like to get done, but it's interesting enough and i'm actually learning from it. That actually extends to the whole of my course at the moment, not getting as much work done as i'd like (where do the hours go?) but i'm really enjoying it. Blamf.

After much deliberation due to the weather (don't give me that 'you're a pussy' stuff sim, the weather was awful on friday, and setting up in the dark would have taken aaaages), we did go camping after all. Met in Rabat bright an early at 8 on Sat morning and headed just outside Buskett for the day, night and following morning. Was lots of fun, spent most of our time cooking, eating, drinking beer (repeated these steps several times), climbing stuff and shooting stuff with mike's airgun. Big thanks to Jonni who's camping know-how proved invaluable and to Miggy for all the excellent food :D Cooking and then eating pasta outside in the rain on Sat night was something i found particularly fun hehe. I'll def be up for it again :)

After a good wash and change of clothes went to watch National Treasure Sunday evening, the film was... well what you'd expect it to be, and the company was brilliant, even if Jen and Chris did start to sabotage my car when we stopped for petrol ;P

Damn it's cold all of a sudden, been one of the few genuinely winter-ish days today. Looking forward to having a good weekend at Dubliner's at the moment, woo!

Edit: Simon's posted a video he made of the camping trip. It's pretty funny, though I still don't really know why i'm "The Posh"... Anyways thought i'd tell you about it, maybe he'll stop SPAMMING MY BLOG that way... XD

Out.

Jump on it

Why won't Blogger ever remember my username and password?! It's little annoying things like this that are responsible for upsetting people's days.... and killing penguins... not sure how but fairly certain it's true....

Community weekend was a blast, was a great experience and loads of fun. Though can't say i expected any less. I want photos guys!! :D

I've had a really looooong day. Woke up early, watched Al Murray on youtube in a lecture hall, wandered around Mater Dei looking for another lecture hall (which was HUGE, HUGE!!), went to another lecture all the way back at Uni, went to Mass, went to library, went to gym, hurr. I'm rather thoroughly knackered now, so of course i need to post something like this:

Art rant

Mornin'. Blogging so close to a previous entry isn't my usual thing, but I want to post something that I really like, though I think only Simon will really appreciate :P

Ian from three panel soul (and the late machall) recently did a pic for genericon. He's posted a video of him doing all the post-inking work on it. It's about 20 min long so unless you're really into this thing i think you'll lose interest fast. The fact that there's no commentary is a shame, would have learnt a lot more from it, but damn does it take a lot of work to make these things. This vid showed me, at least, how much artistic knowledge it takes, both in colour and light.

Though I think I've sussed out Ian's method to his style:
1. Keep designs simple and expressive
2. Have a good knowledge of colour (you'll need it for base colouring)
3. Go friggin nuts with the shading
4. Make final touches that I can't even conceive

Anyways, back to braincells for the day, got me last exam tomorrow morning, have no idea how it's going to go... ...community weekend starts tomorrow though :D

Out.

Buttmonkeys I'm bored

Had an 'off' day today, I'm going to rant about it, because that's what you do when you have reached the end of an 'off' day.

Ok first of all, went to Mark's birthday meal last night at Hard Rock, was good fun. What was particularly amusing was watching a bunch of foreign guys dance at an empty koyote after. By their dancing it looked like they'd been snorting engine grease all day... And Mark, I don't want to imagine the hangover you had this morning ;P

Anyway, long story short, I got in at around 2 30 last night. At 7 45 this morning the bell rang... electricity meter guy.... of course I had to go open for him. After that I did the logical thing and went back to bed for 2 hours. When I got up at 10, the maid had arrived and the whole second floor looked like a warzone. I hate it when that happens. Do you ever wake up with that feeling that everything is severely messed up, especially since you can't take a piss in your own damn bathroom? Yeah, I had that today...

Went to gym with Mike, came home, had lunch. Then I started reading neuroscience... and well that is basically it. Meh. Been sitting here all day and the lack of anything interesting to do is knawing at my brain. Ok, time to stop being emo now.

Out.

DotCom

I'd like to kick off by paying my respects to Heath Ledger, he really was a brilliant actor and it's a shame to have to lose him so early in his career. I know it's his performance that'll make his last film so spectacular. May he rest in peace.

It's a beautiful day outside, really feel like enjoying it. Had a great night last night, thanks to everyone who was there, was brilliant :D Also was really nice to go to the y4j mass, it's been a while since i went and you guys are doing a really good job. Keep growing and going deeper ;)

Main reason for today's blog is:

www.maranathamalta.com

Click on it, bookmark it, visit it every single day. After so long the community website is finally up and running, and to be honest I'm very impressed with it, I never thought it'd be something of such high quality. Woo!

Been listening to a lot of snow patrol lately, in particular "Run" and "Chocolate". I really love their sound, some beautiful melodies.

Anyways, 2 'exams' next week then it's off to the community weekend. Really looking forward to it, eh guys? ;P

Out.

Edit: Ok so the link isn't working, whatever, just copy-paste, you know the drill. Hurr...

Bars and guitars

I want to talk about 2 things today:

Subject A
I've been actually going out for the past couple of weekends, which, as most of you know, is not normal for me (because everyone knows that paceville is nothing but evil and trickery. I'm sorry Dez, it is ;P). Now, I don't know if this sudden urge to go out and meet people is a by-product of being single again, though it probably is, but I enjoyed myself. To be honest, i still hate paceville, but i have discovered somewhere I really love, Dubliner's. I went out there last Friday to have some drinks with the guys after community... nuff said about that.... and I went there on Saturday and found out my second cousin works there. This is funny, because i never knew of his existence before then. This friday I'm going to meet chris and some others there after the Healing Service. In short, I like this place, it is fun :D

Subject B
I've started studying for my exams last week and things aren't going too badly. I have the exam next Tuesday and while I don't exactly think i'm going to be impressing anyone, I'm not really bothered. Thing is, i've been getting a rather big creative streak recently. I swear, I can't put my guitar down. This i spose is a good thing... though it's coming at some expense of my study time as while reading i'll get up and go write something... and then play it for a while... and then look up a song on youtube... and repeat basically. I don't really know what I want to say with this... it's just... there. *shrugs*

Last note, I really want to watch this film.

Last note #2: Muffin!!


Out.
