Six West done and dusted….

Monday, December 15th, 2008

We finished the Find A Way record last night. It was really easy in the end and little or no stress was had. There just needs to be a bit of mixing done in Casa Lugosi and then send it off to be mastered. I’m really happy with the sound we’ve gotten, it doesn’t sound like what I imagined it to sound like but I think I’d be disappointed if there was no element of surprise.

Thanks to Iano, Nelly, Hash Brown and Lugosi for putting up with me yesterday and Lee Byrne for his eternal generosity and cigarettes. I just want to get it out now.

I have my last exam on Thursday but I’m just going to flake today, watch tv, read a bit and eat some pasta. YERRRR.

I literally can’t stop listening to Apes of Wrath. That demo is too good.

10 days until Santy, get busy.

Happy Birthday to my blog….

My blog is one today. Alot has changed in a year but some things stay the same.

Things that changed:

First Death are no more.

Another Day in Hell are no more.

Nelly is home from the land of the mounty.

My hair is long.

I’ve been to California, the UK and numerous other places that I can’t even remember.

Joe Dolan and Bernie Mack died.

I’ve seen more class bands in Dublin that I can ever have imagined.

I’ve done some tours.

I’ve met so many nice new people who I can now call good friends.

I’ve experienced the wrath of sleeping on floors and in vans.

I feel accomplished in what I’m doing.

I don’t drink as much diet Coke these days.

Things that are the same:

My eyes are still greeny brown.

I’ve never been to Luxembourg.

I like pop punk music.

I buy too many pieces of random shit like gold plated hdmi cables.

I still really like nice dinners.

I still smoke the zigaretten.

This year has been way shorter than I imagined it to be. I’m extremely smiley these days considering there is serious bad shit going on around us. The pigs have the cancer, Dublin is turning into Beirut and the worlds economy is melting down. I’m happy though.

Thank you for reading me.

Losing my noodle…

I’ve had such a great week. It seems ages ago since last Tuesday but it went too fast man. In order for the world to work it’s ways though, it has come right back around and kicked me in the scrotes. I have so much work to do now it is madness. It’ll all be worth it the end or so I fool myself into believing. It troubles me that UCD isn’t affecting my gears as much anymore. I’ve become pretty good at remaining anonymous, not that its hard out there but I’ve become quite fond of watching the creatures in their natural habitat.

Today I was in the library and this girl is freaking out to her friend saying her computer died. It turns out it went onto screen saver while she was in the jacks. Things like this keep me going.

I’ve rediscovered my love of Koka Noodles. I used the to eat them everyday in school, but only the curry ones for some reason. I hadn’t had them in ages and ages until recently when I had some in the practice room. Seriously delish, on the level. Since our reunion I remebered some of the ways I used to eat them, I’m not going to lie this shit isn’t for the faint hearted. I have been known to eat them with chilli jam and poppadoms, I have been known to eat them in rolls and toasted wraps. I have not or never will put cheese in them. Someone told me they did this before with the dreaded Pot Noodle. I think it was Joebreaker but I could be mistaken.

I’m smiling way too much considering my exams are next week.

People need to listen to Lucero
