I was so nervous heading to London – how would I cope in the big city? How would I deal with the famous London Tubes? All this was answered and more the moment I hopped off the train at Euston and rubbed my eyes. Such a big station!

Within, like, 10 seconds I was lost. I had to ask for instructions to the tube station and finally found it. Then, I realised I didn’t have a ticket so I had to go back and buy a dayrider. Pretty expensive, and pretty hectic. Guess I’ll have to get used to this if (when!) I move to the Big Smoke.

I finally found the building where my (hopefully) new work will be. I checked in at reception and felt nervous. Shock horror! I’d forgotten to eat the sandwiches my mum made for me! Oh well, they’d have to wait until the train home later.
The nice interview lady called me in and I walked confidently into the room… 10 minutes later I was out. Nice and simple, kept all my answers short and to one-word and they seemed to be very impressed that I didn’t have any questions to ask them, showing I was sure I was the man for the job.

I left the building convinced I’d be back soon enough. I breathed in the clean London air and breathed out again, coughing a little due to nerves. Like the victorious man my father always wanted me to be, I strode back to the tube station and got lost twice on the way back to London Euston. It didn’t matter though – I was a man about to move to the big city, ready to make it in this world, and with a French sandwich in my bag!

Sometimes, I think I’m a little immature, especially in regards to how I act on the internet. At the end of the day, I need to know when to grow up. Today I received a job interview with a company of some repute that I’m really excited about. In fact, if all goes well I could be earning quite a lot of money, even to move out!

I’ve been getting my head together and in the right frame of mind for my interview. That means I’ve had to ignore Dave C’s calls as it’s time to move on. I’ve been swatting up on my knowledge of leased line and SDSL connections to make sure I can really nail this interview! I came top of the class in I.T. at secondary school, college and university so hopefully this will stand me in good stead. Plus, I have loads of experience in the programming world so maybe this job is in the bag already! Fingers crossed…

The job is in London, so I’ve made myself a nice packed lunch for the train. Well, mum made it. It’s a corned beef salad sandwich, with a yoghurt and a can of Dr Pepper. Hopefully the pop won’t make me too hyper – I don’t want to scare the interviewers off!

When I’ve finished the interview I might head around London for a bit of a sightseeing tour, take some snaps and upload them to Facebook. Or even send a few to my dad – he always promised to take me around London when I was a child but unfortunately he never really got the chance. It was his work that got in the way really. Oh well, I guess he did all that hard work for me and my mum.

Anyway, interview tomorrow! Eeeek! Wish me luck!

well, me and dave c have decided to end the band, but its ok because we managed to make some waves on our way out. basically dave’s dad has a polycom soundstation 2 which is great for video-conferencing. we then set up our band (then name we settled on was ‘tHiS iS rAnDoM’ and played songs down the phone, using the soundstation, to various people in the music industry.

it was like doing our first concert/rehearsal as we played together for the first time and some of the songs (esp. ‘mad shouting’) we just winged it! anyway, here’s our set list (with some sample truthbomb lyrics) and who we played to…

‘government in a bin’ – sara cox’ p.a.
sample lyric:
“if you all got in the bin itd be an epic win
oh cameron, hope you get rick roll’d to death”

‘john major in a minor (hot as currie)’ – xfm sales line
sample lyric:
“wellllllllllllll whats the story, youre a tory owww!”

‘first class plain ticket’ – this morning competition hotline
sample lyric:
“i refuse your economy sandwich
i refuse your economy sandwich
i refuse your economy sandwich
yeaaaaaa! (ive brought a truth packed lunch!)”

‘fudge scientology (aint dat sweet?)’ – emi (although we rang bmi instead for a laugh!)
sample lyric:
“travolta’s a faulter and cruise is a lose……r”

‘mad shouting’ – deaf institute, manchester (ironic?)
sample lyric: arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrggghhhhhhhhhhh my ears!!! (improv.)

we got bored after a little while and decided to get a dominoes. then we had a chat about the band and decided that we’d done all the work, said all the things we were ever gonna say. we felt like the world has changed for the better as we tucked into each eight-cheese stuffed crust. it was a good way to go out. on top.

\sv/

me and dave c have started our own band! we don’t have a name yet, and we haven’t recorded anything, but we know that our style is going to be anti-commercial and very much kicking against the wall of conventional society. sort of like dylan before his hair went grey and he sold out man!

(for those wondering why i am no longer using capital letters it is because i have had enough of authority!)

anyway, the band has been going from strength to strength since yesterday, and we already have ideas for three concept albums. one of the ideas, my favourite, is for an album called ’suck this’ and is composed entirely from sounds
created by vacuum cleaners.

(boom! that was the sound of your mind just a-blowing…)

don’t misunderstand us here, guys, we’re still involved in the anti-scientology movement and are still defo against all of the government’s terrible conspiracies. in fact, we’ve told 4chan of our intentions and they seem 100% behind us. most people on msn also seem to think this is a good idea, and twitter has been rockin. #changintheworldthrumuzak

one person who doesn’t think this is a good idea is dave c’s dad, who thinks dave should be concentrating more on his gcses next year rather than hanging around with a guy in his mid-20s who just gets him into proper mad trouble oh well – mr c will be thankin me when me and his son change the world and bring down the banks like halifax and hsbc. if he doesn’t thank me – lizard ftw!!

our first band practice is tonight and i think ive invented some pretty good chords. ever heard of z minor?

(boom! boom! double mind blow ftw!!)

listen out for the revolution…

\sv/

We are legion. We are strong. We are over-age.

In 2008, the internet group known only as The Anonymous put on masks from V for Vendetta and complained about Scientology. It was really awesome and I wish I was there! Here’s to the next one guys!

Scientology = mega religion FAIL!!!!

COME ON ENGLAND!!!!

Wot up homedawgs??? Sometimes it’s bo’ easy for me to feel alone, what with my solitary outsider status and my eczema. Don’t get me wrong, I like to chat to chicks on the online bingo chat rooms, but sometimes I like to just kick back and see what’s happening on the edgier side of the net.

For those who don’t know (losers FTW!), I quite like to kick sand in the face of the oppressors, and I do this by going on various websites. Number one on my hit-list is 4chan. 4chan (I can’t link to it here for fear of reprisal from the lizards – oops, I mean government suits) is a website where culture goes to die… in a good way!

Do you remember Anchorman? 4chan’s like Anchorman mixed with Chris Morris’ early s**t but with a slice of acidcrack pie.
Sometimes I don’t really understand it, but that’s the point? Anyway, me and my friend BloodTowel69 were shootin’ the breeze about it over MSN webcam, and we’re gonna be launching some great internet pranks in the next few weeks. Our s**t is gonna be like bangers and mash – completely mental!!! We’re going to be like the internet but for the Web 2.0 generation. Proper subversive, proper intelligent, but without alienating the common mandem.

So what you’re gonna see here over the next few weeks are some of our revolutionary killer net pranks and ting. Wear a hardhat London – we’re taking down Parliament over MSN!!! \b/

If I had to some our ideology up in one go it’d have to be watered down because our talent don’t do soundbites for your media Twitter generation. We’re exposing corruption and conspiracy, but lyrically, and with a dash of HTML. Gonna Java good time, we’ll Flash ya, L & O & L FTW!

Do you see?

Nah.

Cos it’ll hit you.

Like Vodka-Wine.

Splendified.

Typical Ghostface Killah’.

…

Out.
