Every road leads back here

Christmas is not the best time of year for me.I don't know why exactly.I used to love it even as recently as two years ago.Since i don't know why i hate it i can't really do anything to remedy that situation.Ah well.

I just want to see The Spirit on the 1st.I saw the posters for this in Cali back in July and it looks hella good.Shout me if you're going to this.
Im also digging on The Watchmen.I maintain it will be good but i am prepared to eat my words.Im always sketch about comic movies.I was'nt a fan of X-Men and that new Wolverine movie is going to bite.Whoever they have playing Gambit is sooooooo wrong it hurts.He is my favourite character and Hollywood has fucked me over one too many times before.That is never a good combination.
FUCK YOU HOLLYWOOD!!!!



Forging Frienships....FUCKING HELL!!!
The set they played on monday at Have Heart was too good.Congatulations to the guys on the good news.The song 'Every Road :eads Back Here' is awwesome and is going to be good to hear on record.This album will be release of the year.Get your pre-orders NOW!

Coke Bust-Demo 7"
Coke Bust-Fuck bar culture
The Helm-s/t 7"
Holdxfast-No words left
Internal Affairs/Allegiance-Split

No Shelter

Am i selfish?
i can't answer this for myself anymore and its frustrating as hell.

I ask cause i had a very contempelative walk home tonight.I appreciate what i have and i know im in absolute no position to complain but fuck it i want perfection and i know i will never have it.I was walking by cows lane off Dame street and,as always,i look in the kitchen fitting store imagining what the display would look like in my house.It has an island with a huge extractor over it.This may sound strange but for as long as i can recall i wanted a house of my own.Its an all consuming obsession.

As i said i was having a very contemplative walk home.My ipod is fucked with a broken screen and it was playing songs on random but in groups of albums.Its wierd and is not a setting that was not on it when it was working.I really wanted to listen to Haymaker or Outburst(or some other band that will make you think im cool and dig hardcore) but then this came on.Its the opening theme from my favourite anime.It always sends me off on wierd trains of thought.

I took a detour up along one of my favourite roads to have a look at the houses.Its not that they are particularly fancy but some of them look like Austrian homes that you'd see in mountain towns.Amazing three storied houses that have open planned spaces and awesome chrstmas trees.This again got me thinkingof the hose i will probably never own.Lots of bother stuff flooded back like stupid mistakes i made that either one way or another would lead to me not walking back to a cold Dublin house.Whether it be actually making something of my life and going to college and having some fucking drive.I want to do architecture in college so bad but i wonderif ill be able to commit to something lke thay.Im a flakey motherfucker with a lazy,selfish outlok on life.I want to have designed my house.To have open floor plan and art i like on the walls.To have the phrenology bust on my window sill like the houses i see when walking home.Will i ever get to Japan?These are all dreams i've shit on in the name of taking the easy way out.If this was'nt Eddies laptop id be smashing the keyboard out of frustration.
FUCK EVERYTHING!

Birth.Conspire.Be.Upset.

So Ceremony played two nights ago.How fucking amazing were they?I really want for this to be happening again.
They have such intensity that really comes across.Ross is an amazing frontman and sounds as clear live as he does on record.Their simplicity is just perfect.I fucking love this band.Seeing them at Sound&Fury was only a warm up to this show.
Fuck that venue though.Paying for water?FUCK OFF!
Aside from the shit this show was fucking awesome.Never Healed were pretty good also.I was'nt too sure about them on record but they really blew me away.

Have Heart has a lot to live up to.


The dog that came in to hang with me in work last week.He is amazing.
