Glastonbury:2013 - Synopsis of Superb!

Whassup bro's!

I'm just watching Glastonbury at the moment, preferring Nile Rodgers & Chic over Arctic Monkeys any day and I must say I'm impressed with the coverage so far & the quality of acts. I may just do a proper review over the course of this weekend, but I've got a meeting tmw with a new and rather amazing sounding lady who deserves to remain nameless yet for the protection of identity (and to save embarrassment, lol! :P) so we'll see!

Earlier, I will say, I watched Seasick Steve & all I can say is having not bought his latest EP yet, "Hubcap Music", I was hardly surprised when I saw and heard the quality from that record, even if the sound guys need more training on how to combat feedback, lol!

More to follow...

Peace out!

Zonin' In, Not Fadin' Out...

Whassup bro's!

My how time flies when you're having fun right? Tempus Fugit, man, tempus fugit!

What a busy-a$$ week I've had, from gathering intel on my business start-up that I'm looking to launch (the likes of which will form flesh on the bones of a dream as I bid to become 'The Guy' instead of always working for him!) along with writing a couple entries on this 'ere blog of mine!

In due course I'll reveal more details as I open my life up on these pages to bring you all along for the ride...

R.I.P. Mick Aston

Well it is indeed a sad day today as one of the most energetic of personalities sadly passed away; Mick Aston of Time Team fame.

My condolences go to the family and friends of one Mick Aston and, as an avid watcher of Time Team from its early days to right before Channel 4 altered the formula (I won't put here what I think as this is not the time!), it's heavily saddening news for all fans of the archaeological programme.

I don't need to go into too much detail about this one as fans of the programme know what a loveable guy he seemed to be who was genuinely interested in his work and that always, ALWAYS came across to the cameras.

He seemed like a really genuine and down to earth guy and without the likes of him and Tony Robinson, I do not think my interests in history would have been shaped and boosted as drastically as they were by this programme!

They truly were one of a kind!

Mick, you will be sadly missed. :(

Remote-Controlled Feelings...

I'd start of this post today by asking if you've ever had one of those days... but then it would detract from the meaning of this, my latest post on such a day where it's not so much a rant as a self-affirmation that I'm seeking to express.

Coming at a time where I'd quite honestly lost all hope in the goodness of humanity (but then that was only because I'd been sh@t on as far as the no-go with the 'lady-friend' of mine I've spoken of!) and wondered when things would ever change.

Until I got to a point where I thought 'surely it doesn't have to be like this, bro!'...

BSB: Knockhill - Kiyo's Back!

What a fantastic couple of races that was!

After anxiously awaiting the return of the British Superbike Championship (honestly, I cannot tell you how many times I checked the website to see when the guys were due to arrive at Knockhill, lol!), I was left wondering how many more twists and turns there may be as things progress ever onwards towards the Showdown.

It turned out that these races were what the word 'eventful' was made for, because there were people dropping bikes galore in this race (much reminiscent as it was of the MotoGP trip to the Catalunya circuit last weekend!). It also saw the return of Dan Linfoot, who you'll remember crashed out in quite spectacular style earlier this season.

Whilst it was a day to forget for some, for others it would definitely be a day to remember...

MotoGP:Catalunya - The Reign In Spain...

Well, I must say that this was one of the best races I have seen this season!

Once again, qualifying saw Cal Crutchlow end up on pole position, clocking in at 1'41.501 only to be mugged as this time Dani Pedrosa put in a simply electrifying time of 1'40.893 to go ahead of him and Jorge Lorenzo who managed to pip then third placed man, Alvaro Bautista, by 0.148 of a second.

The race itself didn't just do qualifying justice, it outshone it in terms of the action as once again riders were going off left, right and centre...

2AM & Still Thoughts of Blogging?!

Whassup, bro's!

Well, I must say this certainly is a surprise... 2am UK time and I'm still ever conscious of what I'm going to put in my next entry on this 'ere blog of mine!

You faithful bro's have got me well over 600 views of which I am so, so proud and privileged so a massive massive thanks to all of you, whether you gave a cr@p about what I had to say since I started in February, you helped get me where I am today and for that I thank you all, each and every one of you!

As promised, and much belatedly, I'm gonna tell you a little story to explain this signature of mine, given that I promised it and until now have not delivered...

F1:Canada - Pedal to the Vettel

So we finally have a triple winner this season then!

With Sebastien Vettel, one never knows what to expect when he gets behind the wheel of the car as one minute circumstances are for him allowing him to pull away and comfortably dominate a race and the next, the others are much closer, even surpassing him in places during qualifying.

This time, it was one of those former moments as he was able to lead comfortably almost from lights to flag (with only two brief respites as Nico Hulkenberg and Lewis Hamilton led during the pit stop phases)...

Blackpool - Adventures in Fun Land

Heyyo!

As misleading as this title deliberately appears, no it does not describe a visit to the Pleasure Beach in Blackpool, it's simply my title for this entry about my day trip there with my family...

Playable Fun Stuff

Whassup bro's!

It's been a while since my last post on this here blog (well, a matter of days anyways!) so I figured I'd ping together another post and upload it for you all to let you know what I've been doing these past few days.

Let me say this from the off, those of you regular readers know that I've been looking for work for some time now and the latest update on that front, after countless non-entity agencies not even bothering to say that I've not been selected, I was put forward earlier this week for a position in Huddersfield, so we'll see what happens there...

MotoGP:Italy - Uno, Dos, Tres for Jorge!

Well I think I can safely say that this was one of the most entertaining races so far this season!

In qualifying for this race, you had riders throwing their bikes left, right and centre, ranging from Marc Marquez flying off at 175mph, to Cal Crutchlow dropping his bike in qualifying for a second successive race weekend, yet still managing to bring it home in third...

Turning the Crank

Well, here we are, back where normality can resume... one can hope!

Let me give you a brief rundown of all that's happened since my last posting of a non-review aura...
