The whole of Friday was pretty amazing and has me on a natural high with an incredibly inflated ego. Put on your 3D glasses it’s time for a blog whoooooooooooooooooa!

New ink

Got some nautical stars on my arm around my bouncing souls logo, another step closer to a sleeve. Take a look and tell me what you think and feel free to recommend anything you’d like to see on my arm.

Of course going to the pub afterwards resulted in myself receiving compliments regarding my new ink. Huzzah, ego boost!

Women

Frank and to the point I got rid of a girl that I had realised was no good for me. Some people just take others for granted and I’d much rather be single than with a woman that makes me unhappy. Of course this further inflated my ego because I’m a complete jerk.

To top it all off through two of my closest female friends gave me some very flattering comments regarding my physical appearance, phwoar!

Manhood

Of course being in such a happy mood by this point I was being rather extrovert. Whilst playing a game of pool with my friends down at my local pub I had some chav mouthing off at me telling me to hurry up and calling me shit, naturally he only did this when my back was turned and refused to make eye contact or respond to me when I called him out on it. Anyway later on in the night the douche comes over to me all cocky and confident and challenges me to a game of pool. Much to his dismay however I beat him. Martin 1 – Yob 0. Cue him leaving the pub in a strop, good times.

Stupid YouTube video

And what else is there to do after coming home from an awesome manly night than to jump into Sony Vegas and make another retarded video.

Another silly youtube video for you folks. This time the source is Garth Marenghi’s Darkplace in the key of Gentlementlemen.

Oh, anybody want a Pot Noodle whilst I’m here? I have about 40+ of them.

I ate two of them and now I feel ill

As you may or may not know I’m a big fan of Red Dwarf. Have been watching it my entire life, hell I was born the same year season 1 aired.

Well anyway, more to the point. I’ve just finished a video of mine, I went through the script for every episode and found every instance of the word “smeg”. I then cut them out of each episode and stuck them all into one compilation.

Unfortunately it seems like Sony Vegas messed it up a bit whilst rendering but the message is still sent across. Enjoy!

My new(ish) guitar

I love my guitars. Namely my new Stratocaster. Though I’m sure my old Cort X-16 with Seymour Duncan AHB-1s is getting jealous at the thought of having to share its residence with a newer younger model I simply don’t have much use for an active guitar anymore. My playing style needed something still high output but with less edge on it and after a little shop around it came to this.

Welcome on board the Squier Stratocaster with 3 Duncan Hot Rod Rails delivering a most exquisite tone. The yin to my X-16’s yang.

I was quite resentful to buy a Strat, the shape is cliché and they are literally everywhere. There is nothing unique about a Stratocaster anymore. However I couldn’t argue with the sound, the sound is simply fantastic and I’ve attempted to make mine a little bit unique by plastering it in stickers. After all, I am in a punk band so I can get away with it.

I always had this strange obsession with keeping my X-16 as clean as possible (as far as stickers are concerned, I clean my guitars regularly anyway) and with this Strat I’ve gone in the complete opposite direction. It’s loud in appearance and it backs it up with the sound it produces.

I’m in love again :3

Tim & Eric Season 5

I would never have expected a deadpan humour sketch show to go on for a fifth season. Hell I was amazed when they started work on the second season. It’s not that I don’t think the show isn’t good enough, hell I absolutely love the work of Tim and Eric. I was just under the opinion that it was a very niche show and wouldn’t appeal to all that many people.

But in being proven wrong I have also been injected with a renewed faith in the human race. If something as glorious as this can be mainstream then maybe the mainstream isn’t as awful as I imagined.

Having just watched the first episode of season 5 I have to say that at first I wasn’t impressed. It felt weak and rehashed. The same feeling I had with seasons 3 and 4, that was until the amazing “Quall of Duty”.I haven’t laughed so hard at a Tim & Eric sketch since the Farj and Cops & Robbers skits.

Season 5 is looking to be an improvement and I hope they continue to maintain the quality they started out with.
