I keep having a recurring dream...
A naked Indian takes me to talk to Jim Morrison !!!
The conversation goes....
Gord: Jim, why was I supposed to put on this concert?
Jim: Because you had to learn that it doesn't matter what you do, Cassandra loves you for who you are and that, being an adult means facing resposibility yet still taking the time to have fun.
Gord: Right, its like coming home on Friday night and doing your homework right away so that your Saturday night is free to just party.
Jim: No I like the way I said it better.
Gord: OK.
At the center of the plot of Wayne’s World 2 is Wayne and Garth’s attempt to stage a rock concert, a la Woodstock, but called Waynestock instead. Where does Wayne get the idea? He has a quite psychedelic dream where an Indian leads him in the desert to talk to no less than Jim Morrison, in a funny send up of The Doors movie. Morrison tells Wayne that the one thing he should do with his life is to put on a rock concert. His key words to Wayne are, “If you book them, they will come.” He also instructs Wayne that in order to pull this off successfully, he and Garth must go to London to locate Del Preston (Ralph Brown), who is supposedly the world’s greatest stage manager.
Where's Del when you need him??? Don't believe your dreams!!!
I think I am going mental?? I need a drink!!! ;-Dxx
I never felt magic crazy as this
I never saw moons knew the meaning of the sea
I never held emotion in the palm of my hand
Or felt sweet breezes in the top of a tree
But now you're here
Brighten my northern sky.
I've been a long time that I'm waiting
Been a long that I'm blown
I've been a long time that I've wandered
Through the people I have known
Oh, if you would and you could
Straighten my new mind's eye.
Would you love me for my money
Would you love me for my head
Would you love me through the winter
Would you love me 'til I'm dead
Oh, if you would and you could
Come blow your horn on high.
I never felt magic crazy as this
I never saw moons knew the meaning of the sea
I never held emotion in the palm of my hand
Or felt sweet breezes in the top of a tree
But now you're here
Brighten my northern sky.
LOVE MUSIC HATE RACISM - GIG
@ The Town Mill Mansfield
25th of November 7.30pm -11.30pm
£3 NUS £4 Non NUS
UNITING DIFFERENT CULTURES UNDER ONE BANNER TO PROVE THERES NO PLACE FOR RACISM IN SOCIETY.
FASCIST GROUPS LIKE THE BNP AND EDL WANT TO DIVIDE OUR COMMUNITIES BY MISLEADING AND LYING TO PEOPLE ABOUT THE CAUSES OF UNEMPLOYMENT, LACK OF HOUSING AND THE ECONOMIC CRISIS. THIS IS BASED ON THE DISGUSTING IDEA THAT ONLY WHITE PEOPLE HAVE THE RIGHT TO LIVE IN THIS COUNTRY
OUR EVENTS SERVE AS A TESTAMENT TO THE FACT THAT A DIVERSE AND MULTICULTURAL SOCIETY IS A POSITIVE THING
What's it all about, Alfie?
Is it just for the moment we live?
What's it all about when you sort it out, Alfie?
Are we meant to take more than we give
or are we meant to be kind?
And if only fools are kind, Alfie,
then I guess it's wise to be cruel.
And if life belongs only to the strong, Alfie,
what will you lend on an old golden rule?
As sure as I believe there's a heaven above, Alfie,
I know there's something much more,
something even non-believers can believe in.
I believe in love, Alfie.
Without true love we just exist, Alfie.
Until you find the love you've missed you're nothing, Alfie.
When you walk let your heart lead the way
and you'll find love any day, Alfie, Alfie.
I think that the poetry of World War One is unsurpassable...
I chose to study it in depth at university.
Just close your eyes and listen to the words..
The imagery is so vivid and horrendous but truely amazing!
Two of my favourites are Sassoon and Owen.
I have picked a selection.
I feel that Rupert Brooke is also very relevant.
This poem was written before the start of the war
Romantic visons of dying for one's country.
The excitement and the adventure that the soldiers thought they were going on.
Juxtapose this with the reality of the poetry of Sassoon and Owen.
The time line of the poetry tells the story of World War One.
Finally, one of my favourite TV shows of all time BlackAdder Goes Forth..
Finding humour in suffering!
Sometimes it's the best way to get a message across!!
The 25th of November at the Town Mill in Mansfield 7.30 -11.30!!
This has taken alot of time and effort on my part!! Trying to organise a gig with a budget of next to nothing has been trying to say the least.The two bands booked so far are The Educatables and Supermojo..trying to sort headline act asap!!I have pestered loads of bands but no confirmed acts yet...We Were Promised Jet Packs said last night they would have done it but they are touring all of Novemeber! They would have been amazing..next time if they aren't massive by then!! Been pricing up t-shirts but unlikely we will have a budget to do that.. :-( shame really as it would be coolio to have a t-shirt to commemorate the first gig I have ever organised!!I must mention a guy I met at the Hockley Hustle who has been really helpful.. Cheers Andy without your advice I doubt I would have been able to get all the contacts :-D
Anyone is welcome so get in touch if you want a ticket...
All the profits will be going to support the Love Music Hate Racism campaign!
Dear Dr G - I have recently met a new girlfriend. I really like her and I stopped over at her house for the first time not long ago. Everything was going well until we went to the bedroom! We were getting down to business when she got up and walked over to the window sill and closed three small boxes? I asked what they were? She replied that they were the ashes of her dead dogs!! Fluffy, Scruffy and Trevor!! It freaked me out totally!! I mean, why the fook would you call a dog Trevor? I found out later that it was the name of her dead husband. My friends have now started taking the piss and call her the 'Black Widow.' The problem I have, is that I can't get aroused anymore when I am with her because I keep thinking about Trevor!! I really like her, what should I do?
This is a more common problem than you would think!!
There are a few options available;
1) If you really like her, ask her if the dogs would like to watch? Take some toys for them to play with! Take them for a walk together...just think how romantic it would be!!!
2) Ask her if she likes it doggy style..always a bonus!!
3) Snort the ashes as a form of foreplay
4) Replace the ashes with pork scratchings..she will never know until you eat them!!
5) You have to ask yourself what sort of a crazy bitch calls a dog Trevor?
6) Leave the crazy bitch well alone...dead dogs on the window sill!!!
7) How fit is she? Above an 8/10 she can do what the fook she likes no matter how fooking mental it might seem! Always remember..true love never runs smoothly and your mates might take the piss but they can't suck your cock!!(unless you play rugby)
Be safe now!!! A problem shared is a problem doubled!!
Madonna Moment - This occurs when you are approximately on your third or fourth pint...when you get into the groove... you know what I mean!! The lager is just taking effect, music, women, etc...nothing else matters in the whole world but being in the pub at that particular time!! world debt, plague and famine are irrelevant..the Madonna Moment!! Make the most of it because there is only one way your going...down hill ;-D
Bum Crackling - This is a common day-after syndrome. Beer and a kebab or curry lead to sloppy bowels!!
In the rush to rejoin the fun in the pub you wipe quickly and without a care in the world. When you wake up in the morning you feel hungover and a little crusty. Your bum hair is a little shall we say twigletty!! You can risk not having a shower but this will lead to debris constantly falling into your pants for the rest of the day!! not good!! Shower is the only cure!!
Lecter Cake - This is a special cake you give to somone at work!! What a birthday treat they say THE MERINGUE IS SO LIGHT AND FLUFFY!! Little do they know there is something very special mixed in the ingredients!! ;-D see also jizz lobber..
Happy birthday work mate!!! mwah mwah!!!
Domestos Lollipop - I fooking hate swimming but see it is a necessary evil when I can't run!! 'But I like swimming' you say! Bollox!! How can you enjoy swimming in other people's piss and chlorine? Up and down the lane you go...dull dull dull..swallowing foul water!!! Anyway, not only is it dull it leaves you smelling like you wear domestos aftershave. Here is a test for you swimming people...Don't shower and let your girlfriend suck your domestos lollipop!! Mmmmm!!! lovely surprise!! Next time just save her the trouble and let her lick the inside of the toilet bowl!!!
Went to Birmingham on Friday...ace day, train, drink and company!
Started with a can of Stella on the train...this is the law on a day trip!
Train took approximately 1hr 15mins- on time,all good.
Went to see the Pre-Raphaelite exhibition which is permanently dispalyed at the Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery
The painting above was my fave in the exhibition - ‘The death of Chatterton’ by Henry Wallis (1856). The painting shows the dead body of Thomas Chatterton, an 18th century poet who killed himself by taking arsenic rather than live in poverty. The painting shows an impoverished young man who has died of self administered arsenic poisoning. Although relatively unknown during his life, Chatterton’s death became a well known event because of the romanticised reaction it provoked. As well as this painting, there were poetic responses from the likes of Shelley, Wordsworth, Coleridge and Keats. Like always, unless you see the picture in the flesh you cannot absorb the striking vivid colours used in the painting..truely beautiful and haunting! Also, discovered this artist!!!Patrick Hughes
Superduperspective by Patrick Hughes(from the front!)
This was fascinating..I will download the video I took of this painting!! you will be amazed..well I was!!
This is how the picture looks from the side!!!
Patrick Hughes is a Birmingham born artist. I had never heard of him before I went so it was a real bonus!
His work is described as -
Hughes’ paintings have been described as visual one liners designed to raise a smile and to question how we form our visual perceptions of the world.In Hughes’ exhibitions doors magically open and close and walls move as viewers walk past them.The exhibition is designed to amuse and captivate with eye-deceiving three-dimensional paintings appearing to really move – the exhibition challenges your eyes, brain and balance all at the same time.
After a few more beers it was time to go to the 'Bodies Exhibition' @ the Custard Factory -
The Exhibition--which features actual human specimens--allows people of all ages access to sights and knowledge normally reserved only for medical professionals. Take the opportunity to peer inside yourself, to better understand how your elaborate and fascinating body works, and how you can become a more informed participant in your own health care.
The Process -
A human specimen is first preserved according to standard mortuary science. The specimen is then dissected to show whatever it is that someone wants to display. Once dissected, the specimen
is immersed in acetone, which eliminates all body water. The specimen is then placed in a large bath of silicone, or polymer, and sealed in a vacuum chamber. Under vacuum, acetone leaves the body in the form of gas and the polymer replaces it, entering each cell and body tissue. and sealed in a vacuum chamber. Under vacuum, acetone leaves the body in the form of gas and the polymer replaces
it, entering each cell and body tissue. A catalyst is then applied to the specimen, hardening it and completing the process.This method of preservation creates a specimen that will not decay.
I had wanted to go to the Bodies exhibition for ages..by chance found out that it was on in Birmingham! C had wanted to go for ages as well! result! What can I say...It totally freaked me out at first! C said that the colour drained from my face..why? Because when I first went in the thought that underneath my skin was all this stuff!! freaky as fook! It is unbelievable..these are real people..whole bodies, sectons of brains, eyeballs, ears, brain tumours, diseased livers, reproductive systems, vein systems...to name a few! The Human Body is an amazing piece of work. The bit of the exhibition that affected me the most was the preserved foetuses! I know some people would find these upsetting and disturbing but they fascinated me! I thought they looked out of this world. I am lost for the right words to describe them..amazing wouldn't do them justice..there are 5 in total - 14,18,19,24 and 28 weeks.There is a picture of one below..trust me when I say that you need to see these in the flesh to understand how they look and how they make you feel! I will never forget seeing this exhibition!!
We then went for a shop around the Custard Factory Area which is full of coolio shops and bars!! Bought a nice vintage jacket which the lads took the piss out of last night at the Maps gig!! This makes me like it even more!!! After the Custard Factory we meandered back to town, had a few more beers and got the train back to Nottingham. A fantastic day trip! I would thoroughly recommend Birmingham for a visit!!
Me and the crazy statue in the Custard Factory Area in Birmingham! :-Dx
