An odd occurance.

Last night Rach and myself went to the cinemas to watch the new Prometheus film. (Which I will review separately at some point later.)

Having watched the film we made our way to ashton to get some food and a taxi home. Whilst sitting in the taxi rank an ageing man stumbled in. Out of nowhere he screamed the highest pitched scream I’ve ever heard. Stared at us both then ripped the phone of the wall and put it in the bin. 

At that point we quickly went outside the taxi rank and pissed ourselves laughing. Just a nice example of the state in which Tameside is in. It was funny though. 

Waste of Time!

I just spent 20 minutes writing a post and then my sorry excuse for a new phone decided to delete it all. With no ‘undo’ option. I’m annoyed now. This is a better model phone, yet it is incapable of having a ‘Tumblr’ app. Therefore it requires me to write posts through the internet page, this is a much more difficult task then one may assume. The webpage doesn’t fit the screen causing me to scroll side to side in order to read what I have wrote. I dislike it!

Milkshake.

I’m sitting on my break, a bowl of noodles and a brew in front of me. I feel terrible. Wish could say it was a hangover but in all honesty it isn’t that. Sure I’m tired, though I don’t suffer a headache etc. I just have a horrible stomach pain. I feel sick from it. As much as enjoyed eating that kebab last night as well as the spicy chicken things, the name of them eludes me. I now wish hadn’t eaten them. Not the best way to start my post but I am sitting alone in the back of work feeling sorry for myself.

Last night was alright. I got to the witchwood rather drenched thanks to Englands lovely May weather. Went inside to find that there would be a band on. If you read my posts you’ll know I dislike bands at the Witchwood. People instead of enjoying themselves sit around/stand around bored out of their minds like indie/scene band members play loudly and scream lyrics so loud that we can’t hear them properly, not that we’d want to hear them however.

This band played ‘Learn to Fly’ by Foo Fighters which gave them an edge against bands from previous weeks, had they not continued afterwards playing another 4 of their rather dull songs I would have finally been able to say liked one of the bands that have played there. Ah well. 

It was a rather quiet turn out last night. Not as many people out as last week. Still had a good night though and a good laugh. Encouraging Matt, which via lack of text off Marney I am assuming he didn’t complete the task we give him. I won’t elaborate any further on that. I bought Jager again. It seems I will never learn. Luckily only bought one other person a shot this time. 

That was pretty much it, that and seeing Rach which do a lot and find brilliant. She’s the best, she really is. 

Tonight I plan to go home from work and watch the new supernatural, catch up with how I met your mother and also watch or a least start re-watching Inglourious Bastards as it’s brilliant. 

The Archive.

Having looked at next weeks rota at work, my free time will be scarce. With this in mind I realised I won’t have anything to write about nor the time to do so. Therefore apart from the ‘sum up’ post of how tonight at the Witchwood will have been, that i’ll usually write tomorrow or Sunday this blog will be quite for a while. 

Therefore i felt it was time to bring up the ‘Archive’ function of Tumblr to my readers. There is a link located on the side bar of my profile or you can visit this link below:

http://thescribblesofaramblingfool.tumblr.com/archive

It’ll show you all the posts throughout the months i have owned this blog, which you can click on to re-read rather than scroll through the pages. Though i doubt any of you will actually bother to read my old posts thought i’d mention it anyway.

So with that out of the way, i look forward to another Friday of drinking, i don’t look forward to the next four days of working and unless I decide to bother to write another post, (most likely talking about programmes and stuff you should all watch) then i’ll next post when i can. 

Media Students 1 - Physicist’s 0

I realise I’ve not yet posted about my weekend. As I noted in an earlier post I was going out Friday night.

It was a good night. I talked to those I thought I hadn’t spoken to properly in a while, as well as my usual friends too. Once again I had far too much to drink but considering I always do I guess you could say I had my regular amount.

I had a laugh. Copying Sparkys dancing to songs I didn’t know. Having a debate about how Media students are far better than Physicist. Which I won by the way so all you other media students can thank me!

Buying shots for people who just happened to be at the bar near me at the time (something I really should stop doing considering I moan about being skint!) Meeting new people, which though I say new I really mean people I’ve met before at the Witchwood but talked to enough that night to consider them more a friend than a ‘randomer’.

Having kebab on the way home, then eating the leftovers for breakfast. Always a classy and enjoyable thing to do.

Then on saturday night I went bowling with Rach, her sister and her Dad. I came 3rd place both games and had two strikes which was alright. Had a great time though.

That’s pretty much it.

IMPORTANT Public Service Announcement!

I post this message on here as it’s too long for a Facebook Status. But it is important that you all read this (as stressed in my title)

Before even starting work this morning it was clear what the ‘trend’ of facebook conversations, status’ and so on would be tonight. I was correct in my prediction.

Now however I have finished work. All I’ve heard all afternoon is boo’s and yay’s regarding the sport. I wish not to hear or read about it anymore. Therefore kindly fuck off with your boring posts, your needs to talk about an overrated game. It bores me.

People bickering, fighting and just out right becoming completely ‘Prickish’ over a ‘game’ is damn right childish. This isn’t all of you though it is most.

I won’t lie, in the past I have tried to seek interest in this sport. My family, friends and co-workers all like this sport therefore to watch it and understand it I could join in with more social conversations. (This was my thought at the time.) I don’t like it however and find it completely overrated.

To ‘sum up’ this post: Talk, write etc. about something else other than football. It’s shit, the matches are over and more importantly it is just a game!

Previously on ‘My Life’…

Not wrote on here for a good couple of days. So I may as well write a ‘catch-up’ post. First of all lets skip the typical ‘I’ve been working’ blah blah ‘customers annoy me’ blah blah speech. Even I get sick of moaning that same speech. 

Let’s move on to the stuff I find more interesting and i emphasize ‘I find interesting’, you may find it boring. I’ve been bowling again. Which i actually did a lot better at, my problem is that i let myself get too distracted by others around me. For me that’s usually irritating families with bratty kids who run on your lane, people who insist on bowling just when you’re about to bowl, causing me to ‘fuck up’. My main point however before i drift into yet another rant of mine is that i’ve been bowling, i played better and i had fun. 

I’ve watched American Reunion which I found hilarious. Though i’ve felt the last few films in the series were rather shabby, bringing back the original cast was definitely the right call. Not laughed so much in a while. Plus the cameo’s of two HIMYM stars was a nice addition too. 

I’ve began re-watching Supernatural season 6 again, started last night and i’m already on disc 3. I definitley think this is a better series when watched one after the other as opposed to having to wait weeks or months at a time for an episode as it was when first released.  I’ve been getting up to date with Game of Thrones, i re-watched the first series and was surprised with how much i’d forgotten.  I’ve also started playing Final Fantasy 9 having never properly played it before, it’s good to be getting use out of my psp considering how much i payed for it and how little i’ve used it. 

Then there’s spending time with Rach, which i’ve done a lot of too, and it’s been great. I love spending time with her. I’m very lucky. 

This weekend, more specifically this Friday I very much intend on going out. Yes it will be Witchwood, yes i’ll get my usual drunk self and so on.  What i’m mainly planning on doing however is catching up with some friends who for a good few weeks now i’ve not really heard much from. It’ll be nice to see how they are, what they’ve been up to. Plus it’ll be nice to have a night out in what feels like forever. 

That’s pretty much it. Can’t really say i’ve done much more as i’ve not. Hopefully Friday will give me something to write about. 

Design for Life.

Currently sat in the waiting room at Afflecks Palaces’ tattoo shop. I’m not getting a tattoo just so you know. Rach had a touch up on her back tattoo and Meg is having a new tattoo on her wrist.

I’ve been thinking lately a lot about what I want my next tattoo to be. I know I didn’t just want the one. I also know that what I get next needs to be just as meaningful to me as my first tattoo.

The Ouroboros that I had on my chest months ago was just what I wanted. I like the idea of a continuous cycle. That with death comes new life. The idea of rebirth much like that of the Phoenix.

My next tattoo I want to be similar. I want something, a symbol that has meaning. Meaning which is in line with my own beliefs about things.

I know for certain I will never have a name, a tv/film/game reference on me. That’s mainly because I always picture myself older looking back with a game character tattooed on me wondering why I ever got it done. (Which isn’t a knock at anyone with any tattoos like that, they do look nice I just think I’d end up regretting one like that as my tastes in things changes constantly.)

Though I know there are methods of removing tattoos the idea of a tattoo is having something on you for life. So the choice has to be right. It requires a lot of thought and planning. Needing to be really certain before making the choice.

I think I’m getting close to what my final idea will be. I’ve made design changes, additions, deletions and so on. I think I’m nearing the end of the design stage. Then I need to decide where on me I’m having it done. Pricing it up and finally getting inked.

Avengers Assemble!

That’s right folks, I’ve seen it. One of the films I have been looking forward to watch for what feels like a very long time, I have now watched. I won’t go into detail enough as to spoil the film for those who haven’t seen it, I merely wish to state how brilliant it was. 

I must admit, I was sceptical when I first heard they were planning on making an Avengers film. Though the separate films were great I generally thought pitting together such famous actors all into one film would fail. It was mainly thinking that one actor would seek to be focused on more than the rest. Kind of how the X-men films declined in decency from the first to the fourth film by focusing on Wolverine far too much and killing off Cyclops and Professor X. 

My doubts were very much put to rest, erased, actually they were destroyed. The film was brilliant. Already being a fan of everything Joss Whedon, I must say he once again did not fail to deliver.

It was very well written, had a lot more humour to it and looked visually amazing. The characters all stayed true to how they are in the comics. They all had a lot more depth to them as well (something which Whedon specializes at doing) and as for the Hulk, after one failed film and a second attempt which wasn’t that good either, they finally fixed the Hulk. If like myself you found him to be a very pointless character beforehand, this film completely changes that, re-casting him also worked out better.

I’d say to anyone contemplating watching it to ensure they watch the other films first. It’s a necessity if you want to enjoy it as it should be enjoyed. It is by far a new favourite film of mine. 

As much as I would like to go into more detail, as much as the nerd side of me would love to talk about all the little details and so on to the point where the post becomes more like an essay. I shall not ruin it for anyone waiting to see it. 

Therefore consider this a mini review and to those who aren’t racing to watch Avengers Assemble like I was, I hope this to be the push you need to start watching an amazing films series.

Pffft.

I’ve put myself into a foul mood. I’d like to think its due to sleep deprivation. A total of four hours and I’ve been awake since half five. Whether its that or whether its just a random mood shift I don’t know. What I do know is that this mood has ruined my morning. It’s gotten worse and worse. Like a boulder of snow rolling down a hillside. Growing in size, all the while I’m feeling more annoyed, impatient and agitated. As some may describe it, i’m ‘Meh’.

If I could I’d sleep, I’d sleep and make myself feel more positive. Unfortunately though I’m a morning person, once I’m awake there’s no going back to sleep.

So I feel shit for no reason. Not in anyway sociable and have a day of solitude ahead of me. If by chance you do make conversation with me and I come across as ‘grumpy’ and angry. I apologise in advance.
