Kix

All around the world you go
All around the world you go
All around the world you go

The more you go the less you know, hey baby
You never stand a chance

All you're looking for is somebody to feed you
All you're looking for is something in the air
All you're getting are some trash to breathe

The more you leave the more we love you baby
Why should you stand a chance

All that you love
All that you need
You came in for kix
All that you love
All that you need
You came here for kix

You're a super accident
You're a major accident
Everybodys tryin' to pay the rent

Out she went
It's heaven sent, hey baby
You never understand

All that you love
All that you need
You came in for kix
You're workin' so hard
On your demand
It's all about kix

It's not that funny, is it
It's not that funny, is it

It's not that funny, funny

[Air harmonica solo] ( Yes we've all done that!)

All that you love
All that you need
You came in for kix
You're working so hard
On your demand
It's all about kix

All that you love
All that you dig
You came in for kix
It's all in your head
It's all in your blood
It's all about kix

It's all about kix, sweet sweet kix

It's all in your head, It's all in your head


Per Gessle - Kix, The World According To Gessle

New Toy!

Canon Ixus 960 IS ;-)

Just waiting for the battery to charge before use.

Nout wrong with the Ixy 800 but I decided I needed a new gadget for holiday in 2 weeks time.



























So anyway, off to see Indiana Jones again tonight, lets see if I can actualy like it this time around!

Clutching At Straws

I'm still trying to see how so many poeple are enjoying and that if you didn't enjoy it then you must be strange.

Here is why I disliked it.....

Some of the script (not all) was terrible (stay away Mr Lucas this isn't bloody Star Wars!)

Some of the acting (Harrison Ford and Cate Blanchett the exceptions) was awful but then is that due to the script?

The chase in the jungle.......good for the first 10mins........not funny for the ext 10mins!

The ants! again.....funny for the first 5mins but not the next 5mins!

Ray Winstone......not funny what so ever!

I could go on..........


There were some fantastic one liners though.


And now I'm going to be late for my 8am physio appointment if I don't shift my arse!

Gutted

It's so bad I may have to cancel that 2nd booking for Sunday

:-(

One very dissapointed Indiana Jones fan!


By the looks of it I can't cancel the booking, bugger!

You Were Named After The Dog?

Don't Turn Your Back On Me I Won't Be Ignored

107 pages in, I'm slightly worried that this might actually be Jaina's last stand going on here!

We've had almost 7 books of Jacen becoming evil then suddenyl we get almost a whole book of Jaina turning into the Sword Of The Jedi and now this book.........


Fuckity! its 10.30pm, I'm knackered but I just can't stop reading!

Jaina cannot die, I will not allow it!!!

;-)

Sword Of The Jedi

Once mysterious prophecy, Luke Skywalker's words have become truth. But can even the Sword Of he Jedi bring down on of the most powerful Sith Lords of all time?


Yes of course she can! Jaina is going to kick his arse from here to the end of the universe and back and around again and if she doesn't I'm going to sit and sulk for the rest of eternity!

I am spoiler free so this should be good! :-)

Did I mention that my book has arrived in all its hard cover 320 pages of glory?! >;-)


Girl's On Fire

























Now thats what I call Express!!

And I get the book 5 days earlier than it comes out in the UK.

I'll have finished it by the time it comes out here.

At 320 pages long I might even have finished it by tomorrow morning!

The Delays

Due to some nagging I'm finally going to see The Delays in Southampton on Saturday.

So seeing as I have only listened to one song of theirs I thought maybe I'd give the new album a try.

It's pretty good! :-)

Everythings The Rush

























I've come to the conclusion that when I listen to new music I don't give it enough time to grow on me.

I've had this experience with Fiction Plane, The Delays and even Def Leppards new album.

So the moral of this story is...... keep listening you'll either love or hate and either way you'll know all the lyrics and be good in pub quizes when obscure music questions come along.


Anyway, did you know that Carlsberg Export now comes in 1 Pint cans?! Excellent!


























Invincible has made it as far as Philadelphia in the US ;-) I think its currently on a plane coming here but I can't be sure as it doesn't quite say 'it's on a plane half way across the Atlantic'


























And so far I've stayed spoiler free although its been very tempting just to flick thru the topics in the spoiler forum.

Next weeks plans include a midweek "eatings cheating" drinking session with my friend from hockey and then going to see Indiana Jones - Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull atleast twice!

Holiday is creeping ever so much closer!

YAY!

What The F.......................

OK so book is on its way.

Now I only ordered 1 copy so what the hell is all this bollocks on my order.....






















And when I click on one of those many tracking wotsits I get this....
























Well atleast its Express ;-)

Stop! Move Away From The Spoiler Forum

Trying to stay away from the spoiler forum!

Why am I looking at it now when its possible that the book may be here by Thursday!


Anyway, I've just had the weirdest dream ever!

I dreamt that we were on our cruise, that I was sharing a cabin with Def Leppard and that I'd forgotten most of my clothes.

I'm not sure where all this bollox came from, it just got dragged up from the depths of my mind.

So now I shall be making a list just incase I forget stuff when we go away on 8th June.

'Suppose A Rocks Outta The Question?

**Warning, theres possibly alot of swearing to come!**

Just made it back from The Def leppard gig in London.

Made the mistake of driving up there, although the journey itself wasn't too bad the usual troll around lloking for the phantom car park meant that we didn't actualy get to the venue until just on 7pm (this is having left Oxford at 3.30 and at MacDonalds by Ikea at Wembley at 4.20!)

After several detours (Thanks SatNav you bastard!) we found a car park by St Pancreas train station and I nearly crashed the car into the barrier as I looked at the prices for parking but seeing as there was nowhere else to go we didn't have alot of choice.

We could've gone by coach but I wouldn't be writting this now as we'd still be on it probably trying to get out of London which seems to take an age for some reason.

So anyway, venue was small but then I expected it, what I didn't expect was the amount of cocks there would be about and there was a fair few of them.

Now I'm not blessed with height and I don't expect to see much if anything unless I've q'd for hours (been there, done that...theres only one band I'd still do it for and they will probably not make a record again let alone tour!)
What really fucking narks me is how inconsiderate other peoples are and its not just tall blokes its women aswell who either don't see you or think cos you're small you're going to move out of their way regardless.
I spent the entire gig being shoved in the back and then nearly headbutted by some fucking knob infront of me who was doing air guitar in a square centimeter of space. ( if he wasn't doing that he was taking a photograph of every fucking movement the band made, I'm all for concert photos but not for the whole gig GIVE IT A REST DICK HEAD! YOU'RE FUCKING ANNOYING!)

Concerts are just full of wankers these days!

Needless to say Leppard were fantastic as always Sav even managed to mess up 'Pour Some Sugar On Me' which was amusing to say the least, Mother enjoyed herself even though shes shorter than I am and saw some blokes shoulder blades all evening

Anyway I was pleasantly surpised when we got back to the car park to find it only costing £10, so no need to take out a bank loan to cover it ( crikey thats cheaper than parking in Oxford!) ;-)

Roll on June 26th Wembley concert, we're sat up out of the way of the fucking annoying dickheads on the floor, I just can't hack that anymore, its a personal space issue with me and fucking dickheads keep invading it!


And just to top off any rant that I appear to be having, anyone taking pix with a mobile phone or using flash on their cameras are all wankers! ( this includes me but theres a point to all this)

This is what you get if you take a picture with a mobile phone....





















Now I'm not David Bailey, but thats just shite!

So I'm a wanker for taking it but if you look very closely theres an idiot using their camera with flash!

KNOB!

I'm now going to drag my tired arse to bed, good job I'm not on the coach as I'd still be in London.

Got To Be In It To Win



This blog has turned into a bit of a YouTube fest ;-)

Switch 625

As I sit here in my hyper mood watching Def Leppard dvds I just wanted to post this video.....




RIP Steve Clark!

A Blogging Good Time

The power of music! (or possibly beer....you decide!)

I've just gone on eBay to get me a copy of 'Highlander' on dvd, all on the back of watching a Queen dvd that I got for Christmas 3 years ago but have never watched.

I had to watch the dvd cos my amplifier has died which is hooked up to my PC for sound to come out of my surround sound speakers.
The amplifier dying means no PC sound! so no music via winamp, so I started off watching Kerrang channel on sky and then have gone onto my Queen dvd and am now currenlty sat watching Def Leppard 'In The Round, In Your Face' dvd.

What next I wonder.....will I watch a Roxette dvd and feel the need to go and buy Pretty Woman or Super Mario Bros on dvd? ;-) (I hope not!)

I need to get out more! wheres summer?? I can get out in the garden on my laptop with wireless internet and drink beer outside instead!





























This DVD can seriously damage your health!

Everyday.....

"Everyday, evey night, every week I sing la la la la la"
Everyday - Brainpool

My brother has finally made it to South Africa after delayed journey.
He was supposed to fly out on Wednesday night but I got a call to say his flight had been delayed and that Virgin were putting him up in a hotel over night.
That was nice of them but it meant he missed his connecting flight in Johannesburg that took him to Durban where he is staying with friends.

"Your boss is breathing down your neck, you need to get away, but it will soon be holiday"

Holiday - Brainpool

Thank god for wireless internet! he got on msn and we managed to find him another connectiong flight but that meant an overnight stay at Jo'burg airport so after looking around a bit he found a hotel too.

Gotta work out how to claim on the travel insurance when he gets back.

Got a text this morning to say that he had checked in for his flight to Durban so he's back on track all be it a day late! and he left his new hat on the plane! I told him to claim for that too ;-)

I worry about my little brother (he's 30 this year!) ;-)

"Baby the trees are high and maybe, you would try and save me if I fell into the lake"

In The Countryside - Brainpool


Anyhow, I have Def Leppard tickets for next week album launch party, paid £50 for the 2 in the end which was a very good price as they were £20 each originaly plus booking fee's.

Mother has no idea........BRILLIANT! >;-)


"Living on the edge I'm tryin to keep a level head, Well every morning its a bummer getting out of bed"
