Eargasm

Just been and had a musical session with my friends and we came up with a soft-rock-club beat of a song. It was great! With two acoustic guitars, one keyboard and a laptop with FruityLoops I don't think we done too bad.

The Funny Prayer

he past few days have seen riots and looting for some reason or another in England. This was an adaptation of "The Lords Prayer" made in to a parody that I read on Facebook. It made me chuckle.

If you are easily offended by anything that could be labeled as some-what 'blasphemy' then please do not read on

Our father, who art in prison
Only mum knows his name
Thy riots come
Read it in the Sun
In Birmingham, as it is in London
Give us this day our welfare bread
And forgive us our looting
As we're happy to loot those who defend stuff against us
Lead us not into employment
But deliver us free housing
For thine is the spliff
The blackberry and the lager
Forever and ever
Innit

 I hope you had a giggle from this too

Twitter Titan Test

I have broadcasted for a retweet on Twitter hoping that my new, lovely, shiny blog may gain some interest and/or views. We shall see how good Twitter really is for exposure. But besides being a public awareness agenda I hope to gain the attention of people that they actually enjoy following me on here too.

To those of you who came via Twitter, a big HELLO to you all!!!

Naughty WLM...Hello Yahoo Messenger

Windows Live Messenger has been a very naughty so-so. It has been telling me fibs and saying that my friends were offline when they were all on! So I have crossed the line and gone to good old Yahoo Messenger, and OMG it has changed so much as I have hardly used it in years. I've linked it to my Twitter and my Facebook and am looking forward to being rekindled by Yahoo Messenger

Bored Much

Here I am sat at my laptop thinking "What should I blog about that is interesting?" And the answer I came up with was a big fat nothing! So I'll give you a live update of life at the moment...

My grandma (bless her cotton socks) has been in for a hip operation and has been kept in for the five whole days. She can't wait to get back and we are all looking forward to her return. She is up and about with her crutches but must wait for the doctor to come in and give her the all clear tomorrow. What other way is there to enjoy the grandkids during their summer holidays? Speaking of which - the kids are off school and only when it is the summer holidays do they realise how fun being at school actually is...I've been to the park, been on walks, visited the forest and still Amelia says "Daddy, I'm bored!" It's a no win situation.

I've also had a mental block on songwriting and think that I need some form of inspiration, so feel free to comment this on how to gain inspiration for songs.

Enough for now.

Feastly Breakfast

This morning we (me, my daughter and my sister) went out for breakfast at our local pub. Now me being me asked for the HUGE breakfast and was served accordingly. I was expecting little sausages and little bits of bacon. Bot no no no....I was given sausages the size of a human arm, bacon the width of a pig's back, eggs from hardcore chickens and much, much more (toast, beans, tomatoes etc...)

And of course a good old cup of coffee! Energy for the day much?

That Friday Feeling

It's been a strange old Friday today with not much happening besides dark clouds looming overhead. It sounds like something from a stereotypical horror but it is true. Everyone in my family is feeling 'chilled' and too relaxed. My mum has taken to an afternoon nap, my daughter's watching TV in my bedroom and I'm sat on Facebook and Blogger.

Well, a good cup of coffee might shift the mood a little but I honestly think a good sleep should do the trick. Sod's Law says that if I rest then the rest of the family will become re-energised and will keep me from resting.

So coffee it is!

Pump UpThe Jam

Today I am going back to the gym as it has had a week's refurbishment. I'm kind of excited and curious to see what they have done. I am also one sleepy son of a b**** as the 'air conditioner noise' video from last night knocked me out. I have gone from being 21stone 3lb to 18st 10lb but I haven't half felt the workout. What is it they say...no pain no gain.

Sounds To Sleep To

The past few weeks I have had the most shoddy amounts of sleep imaginable. I have been in bed by midnight and was sat thinking what noise will help make me go to sleep. I have already listened to videos that come under the label of 'Meditation Music' and 'Relaxing Music' and had a vague idea of what I was searching for. This was until I wracked my brains to think of something soothing to sleep to.

When I used to stay at my grandma's house she had one of these air vent things on the wall that looked a bit like this. There were dozens of times where I had fell asleep to the soothing low-hum of a motor and air in perfect harmony.

So I checked YouTube for sounds such as Hoover, Hairdryer, Washing Machine, Lawnmower.....and I'm not crazy! People out there in their 1000's love to sleep to this thing that they have labeled "White Noise".

I don't know whether or not it is cause I am a Virgo, or just a fusspot, but I need to find the low HUMMMMMMMMMMM noise to get to sleep and am not satisfied with these high-pitched hairdryers on a good 80% of the videos. One video of a washing machine caught my attention. If you are reading this, please do try it and let me know how you find it to relax/chill/sleep to.

Hello World

What an appropriate title to my first post...Hello World!

I remember being back at school learning about HTML where we had to get 'Hello World' to appear in Internet Explorer by using the Notepad.

Here is what the code looked like for those who don't know what I am on about.

They were the good old days when coding was in its infancy and was the most alien thing in the world for a young schoolboy like me. It seems nowadays though that young people are picking up these skills almost second nature due to the customisable profile designs MySpace and indeed Blogger. Back in the days, when Facebook was hardly used, young people had to have a profile that stuck out. This included learning how to use HTML to get a funky picture as your background of your profile, or how to have flashing GIF images.

When I was a youth ''Hello World'' was an amazing accomplishment...God I feel old and I'm only 26 with less than a month to go before I hit 27 (or 30-3 depending on how you view it).

So, yes...Hello World! My name is Jay (short for James) and I am just starting off on my journey in to the world of blogging. A little about me? I'm a coffee gulping, musical minded, Internet gaming, sweet-toothed father of one from Coventry UK. I love deep philosophical conversations, writing songs/lyrics, learning new things and cultures. Without including this post I will usually end on a philosophical question or words of wisdom.

That's enough for now as I have friction burn on my fingertips from all this typing!

Bye World
