“So this is fatherhood, going out chopping wood, I wish I was a martyr.”
– Ox.Eagle.Lion.Man - Fatherhood
Funny how Frederick Blood-Royale is getting so much coverage of the moment. I hope NME don’t champion him because then I will have to disown him. And then where will I turn?
Procrastination
I’ve read half of the Naruto chapters that are currently out. In this time I could have:
1. Finished re-writing my Othello coursework
2. Chosen the title for the All My Sons coursework
3. Finished writing my Classics mock exam
4. Gone into town and bought a sketchbook for the next photography unit
5. Looked for a job
6. Started writing well written articles
7. Looked for a work...
An image to describe my current emotional state
My head is in an altogether strange place.
Thou Shalt Not Worship False Idols
Failed at that one many times over. Good job I’m an agnostic.
I have three idols
Owen Pallett
Dev Hynes
Thomas Hein (second from right)
I want to emulate all three at the same time.
Sleep Deprivation
It’s not a nice thing. Managing to wake up every hour for about ten minutes all through the night cannot be good for my health. Yet the more I think about the sleep I’m missing out on the further the grasp of the night gets from me. It’s one horrible catch22.
In other, lighter news, I’ve found a nice printing company who I’m interested in buying a couple of books...
el-em-en-oh-pee →
Another of my friends’ bands. The difference being that I designed their tumblr! Nice, nice, nice.
This is the good life
For once in my life I am actually happy. I’ve had a basically good weekend. At least the past 14 hours have been good. Despite a couple of awkward hiccups. And in roughly an hour I’ll be seeing Sebastien Tellier. Could this be the start of my regain in mental health?!

I'm less ill now...
Niki (thirdlamb) told me that I was being melodramatic and stuff. She just don’t love me any more. In other news, I’m trying to remove the CBP in my ear and replace it with a segment ring. I can’t do either. I need help!!
I should stop using this like a twitter…
WTF happened to Bloc Party?
Silent Alarm = EPIC, with all scales of beauty.
A Weekend In the City = Huh, what’s this electro shit? Oh well, I’ll buy it just in case there are some hidden gems (there weren’t any)
Intimacy = I had refrained from listening to any of the songs. Then I decided to give it a chance and listen to a couple of tracks on itunes 30 second thing. I remember reading some fan saying...
God Bless Hussein Obama
Currently in the process of watching Aretha Franklin sing the American National Anthem. Blimey, what a moment in time. Seeing that strange pastor do some crazy speech about politics or religion or something wasn’t great. The queen of soul singing on the altar of democracy, on the other hand, now that is not something to be missed.
I should be in bed due to having a mild case of the flu....
It is highly likely that I am going to die
And not in the realist “oh everyone dies at some point” way. I may be being a tad over dramatic, but I seriously don’t think I’ll make it to the end of the week. The reason for this is thus: over the next four days I am going to be in college at 8.30 and leaving at 4.20, all to complete my stupid final boards for my photography course.
Today I missed out on a potential 4...
Teama Zissou
In a conscientious move to make myself a more cultured individual I have taken to rinsing Zavvi of all their worth. Straight past the common clear out films and straight to world cinema, then anime and finally art house. It is through this process that I hope to acquire a few of my favourite films, such as The Life Aquatic and others as well as getting those films that I’ve been told you...
5 Preview
I want some more 5 preview t shirts! I have the original Cavour top but I want most of their other designs too!
{these are the old ones, the new ones are equally brilliant!}

Why Alexa Chung is not enough for me...
I will admit to being in love with her for roughly a year (possibly more) without any shame, because I know lots of people hate her but the yare just jealous. She is amazing. But she can’t sing and isn’t ALT enough for me. So I’ve torn her from my heart and replaced her with someone much better.
This is Emma-Lee Moss (aka Emmy the Great). She can sing, is friends with Dev...
TNPS
Not quite sure why I haven’t written a post on them yet, possibly the same reason as I haven’t written one on Owen Pallett or Dev Hynes (because I love them too much to articulate). But anyways, I’m going to give it a go and put across why the quartet from Southend are more than you would expect (and why I shave the sides of my head).
After about five minutes of trying to write...
Stupid Photography
I’m pretty sure there is no way that I’ll get all of my work done in a week. And that’s including the time spent in my college frees where I will sit and write my analysis or freak out in the darkroom. I most definitely chose the wrong options for college. That combined with the addition of rain into my daily life is really wearing me down. In a short while I’ll look sixty...
Hands Up
For those who want to stuff Prince Harry’s racist terms up his royal ass. Mine is certainly up! I don’t know if this is some form of treason but to be fair he should be put back in line. Having someone as ignorant AND obnoxious as the third in line to the throne is a scary thought.
Personally I would have him jailed for a time and see where that gets him. Or maybe just strip him of...
Under Construction
As you may have noticed my tumblr changes form pretty frequently. It resembles my fickleness! But anyway, I’m still trying to find the perfect theme. Give me time & I shall hopefully finalise an idea for this. But it will take a while, I suspect.

theproblemkids(thisgirlhasproblems)
Before I start this post, let me say it is not written because this girl is a contender with me on the dazed digital website. It is because she personifies a lot of what I cannot STAND in people. So let’s go…
You know that post about my hate for lookbook.nu… this girl has gone a step further and started a blog and music thing. Let me justify my anger at her.
Firstly she...

It has arrived! Bérangère Claire has released her new preview… OH MAN
If you could see my face then you would be able to see the drool. And there is a lot of it…
happynewyears
My eyes hurt, my stomach does not want to ingest and I still want to go and hit the sales. There must be something wrong with me, I mean who honestly acts in this way. Last night was fun. Apparently I should make a mention of two of my mates’ bands so here we go
TUDOR TRON
OWLS
K’NEX (possibly deceased)
There you go, shameless advertising for your bands. I’m not going to...
