Hang on a sec...

I just needed somewhere to say that I'm seriously fucking happy. I kissed her and it was awesome and...I haven't been so pleased in fucking ages. Fuck Dublin. I wanna stay in Kingston.

Goodbye.

Blogs.

Fuck them. Phase has past.

See ya.

Dope Songs

Bands I Like and Think You Should Like Too: Daggermouth

DAGGERMOUTH
Hardcore/Pop Punk

Daggermouth are my all time favourite band ever. Their album Turf Wars is a fucking masterpiece; every single song is gold. Their first album Stallone is fucking class as well, although not as good as Turf Wars. I honestly cannot pick a favourite song from it because they are all delish. I can only find live videos of them, so it'll have to do.

You Do This As A Fad, We Do This As A Lifestyle


Fucking perfect song. The vocals aren't as good live, but trust me, the recording is amazing.

Hawt Lixx


I could do this for every song on that album. I love it that much. Here it is, and Stallone, if you want to listen to it. I urge you. If you like it you should buy it too, support the lads wha?

Daggermouth - Turf Wars
Daggermouth - Stallone

Another Moan.

Whatever.

A lot of women think that to get a nice boyfriend they have to look good, and society puts pressure on all women to look good.

Well now men have a similar problem. Women want us to look like women.

It's the only possible explanation I can think of for lads like these being so popular:


What the fuck? The hair is one thing, but WHAT THE FUCK IS HE WEARING A HAIR BAND FOR. AAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGHHHHHHH.
Am I mental? I know you shouldn't judge people by how they look. But in my experience, most people who I've met and looked like that were fucking dopes.

They're almost as bad (but just a little bit more bearable) than these fucks:

Bands I Like and Think You Should Like Too: Say Anything

I'm gonna do things like this from now on. I'm not arsed updating this with lame, uninteresting stories from my mediocre life.

So.

SAY ANYTHING
Rock/Pop

I only started listening to this band at the start of April and I already think they're one of my favourite bands of all time. It's a nice departure from the boring rock bands and the overly poppy pop-punk bands of today. The riffs rule, the vocals are so catchy and uplifting and the lyrics are clever and funny. The first song of theirs I heard was Alive With The Glory Of Love. It's got a simple and very danceable rock riff and it's definitely an awesome party song. It's so much fun to sing along with in that the melody is catchy and it's not hard to sing and the lyrics are instantly memorable.



The harmonies there are just amazing. Every single bit of vocals in that song is just perfect and gorgeous. One thing I love about this band (although it's not present in that song) is how they use 'Bops' as a background vocal.

There are some class examples in that song, starting at around 0:48 (best listened to with headphones).

Both those songs are from the album '...Is A Real Boy'. I haven't totally strayed from it yet but I've found a couple of awesome songs from other records.



That's from the album 'In Defense Of The Genre'. That was the only video I found that wasn't live. Ugh. Why do people make these kind of videos? Lame. In Defense Of The Genre has 27 songs on it so it's hard to get totally into it but it has some gems.



There's a better version of that song but I couldn't find it. It's such a great song though.

I sound like a 15 year old here, I think. Fuck. Maybe I'll get better at writing these things and not look like a total fucking mongo fanboy. Anyway, get into Say Anything and we'll be best friends.

If I could swim, I'd swim out to you in the ocean.

The weather in London right now is incredible. It's so hot, but not humid at all. The sky is clear blue and it makes me really relaxed. I'm going to Will's house today where the weather will probably even nicer. I'm gonna try to get some work done. I have some writing to do, drafts of stories to go over and then two cunt essays to get out of the way.

I'm really going to miss England in the summer, I think. I feel settled here now. I still think I could stand to make a few more friends; the other night I went to Shook Ones and I knew pretty much one person there and he was with his mates as well, so I was kind of on my own. If I start going to more gigs and make my face known I'll hopefully end up chatting to people and shit. Jesse Michael's from Operation Ivy's new band are playing here next week and I can't wait. Operation Ivy are too good and one of the first bands that inspired me to be in a band, and I'm sure it's the same for a lot of people. I hope I get to meet him or at least shake his hand, it'd be so fucking cool.
Ireland in the summer will be okay I guess. I'm happy that I'll be with my own friends again but not happy at all that I have to live with my dad. He is the most impossible person in the world to live with and my old house is fucking disgusting. My brother and his girlfriend are stuck living there and I'm pretty sure they're kinda depressed right now. I really need to find out about my job though. That dopey new manager in Malahide still hasn't got onto me about it. Sap.

I'll make the most of the last month here. First year has fucking flown in. I can't believe it's May.
