First Post Facebook Post

ahem

Unfortuntely, due to the recent increase in popularity of that which we in the know refer to as 'the 'book', or even simply as 'fb', there has been less occasion to keep up with excess bloggage. I am taking a firm stance, however, and attempting to restore this dieing art form. On that note I proceed.

So, I last wrote after the U.S.; excuse the cliche, but so much has happened since then. I have been strumming away to my little heart's content, perfecting my guitar concentration face and finally got 'da boyz' together for a bit a bread and jam - with endorsement from a certain Miss Zoe Ball at this year's Glastonbury where can we go wrong? Don't believe the rumours - I have been reliably informed that said Miss Ball gave up both sarcasm and alcohol for lent (are we past easter yet?? mmmmm.....).

So, Glasto was a ball (excuse the pun)and predicatably so rather muddy (zzzzz... I know). Pear Cider (sorry perry) featured heavily and I got drunk, and stoned....

Holidays planned for the Summer?? Well, I am hopefully going to whisk away my gorgeous, kind, funny, intelligent girlfriend to some place exotic - fancy getting involved in abit of naturism.

Clearly I have neither the literary nor mental capacity to write even a sentence of the above - but it is a close representation of recent events.

I sign off, Peace Ash.

This is my united states of whatever

Well I guess its time for another post, seeing as its been more than four months since my last one...lazy bugger. I can only remember stuff that happened over the last few weeks so anything important that happened before them I apologise to - I may remember you some day.

So the major thing that happened recently was my first trip to America - the land of plenty. I went there with not a few pre-conceptions and left quite dissapointed that they were mostly wrong. I really did enjoy myself over there, and could see myself emmigrating one day. So, obligatory list time:

Stuff that ruled:

Huge meals at restuarants
Everything is sooo cheap
Women love the English accent
Snow
You can buy anything you want - the choice is ridiculous
Everything is bigger over there. Example: Burger King here - Double Whopper with cheese. Burger King there - Triple Whopper with cheese.
Wendy Burger's square burgers


Stuff that sucked:

Very poor quality of 'micro-brewery' ales
Tipping everybody for everything
Claim culture - everything has a warning label like "This chocolate bar is only intended for oral consumption"
People are a bit too happy - maybe I'm too used to good old British cynicism and happiness is actually a good thing


OK thats it for now, pictures to follow...

Peace
