Squash and a beer

Today I tried Gaymers cider... a pear one, I have to say that I really like it.

After squash we went up to "Everything else is noise" in Brixton. A cool little/big pub on the high street that some times has live bands. Today I had a Chicken and bacon salad that I really liked but after the running around of the 6 games we had I think I needed a little more.

oh and I won a game this time!!! proper happy about that one hehe

Running behind

Ok Im sorry but im running a little with my blogs so Im going to do a catch up today.

Yesterday was a long one as I had to get up early and then work.

I spent some time at the club that really didn't go well so I went to see some of my friends. They have 2 lovely kitty's and we spent some time biting the flee back. (A toy on the end of a elastic string)

A bottle of wine and alot more cat toy fun later I headed off home gelous at one of my mates having the new HTC Desire(see below)

This is one of the OTHER phone Im thinking of getting if the Iphone 4G does not live up to expectation. Fast expanded memory as well as a few other cool bits.

Song of the Day

Club Life

Today I have had a long day.

Starting the day with an early start for the day time rave. 10am the alarm went off and I was out of the door around 11.00. Down to Camberwell to get the bus to Vauxhall for the party, Not knowing who was going to turn up I went in. The music was ok if you had been out all night but as I had just got up I was hoping for something a little harder!!

It looked like there was only about 50people there maybe more but in "Club Life" (formerly Factory) It looked empty. I stayed for a little while doing some poi and getting some pics.

Before to long I left to see 2 of my close friends.

Funny that this event was not on DSI but I might put a few pics on my site soon

Dennis Hopper (17 May 1936 – 29 May 2010)

Dennis Hopper

One of the stars of possibly the biggest biker movie of all time Easy Rider passed away today

I loved him being a heel as I always remember him from films like Speed and That shitty Super Mario Bros movie in 93. Him being the best part of it!

more films like

Apocalypse Now (1979), Boiling Point (1993),True Romance (1993),

Waterworld (1995) just to name a few and in a total of over 100 movies.

This is one of the actors that I liked and could play someone you could believe in...

Rest In Peace

Saturday Night In

Today I was going to Spin in Hyde park, But the day was cancelled due to the weather being shitty. After a little chat with Fluff where she found out that I have never been to the Tate Modern, Going there became the back up plan. Shockingly that did not happen as well lol.

So I just played some games and made some dinner, Getting to play with my brother on Gears2 was great. Then I set up an Event for him on Facebook for his birthday. As I was setting it up I saw the "upload an Image" button. Being this is an event that I have made i wanted to do something nice., and to use photoshop a little more I made up this pic just for the Event. Using a random image from google and a photo I had worked on a while back.

I think it came out really good

A Bear Kicked My Ass Today

Think your good at staff??? think again!

Thanks Shy

New Lights Work!

After setting up my new lights to make sure everything worked and all that jazz.

Something just dawned on me, I never took any photos of them lol, well I was working by the time I had finished setting them up... Hey my place is not that big, only one toy to play with at a time.(Thanks Mum for my O.C.Ds)

It was almost like having the sun shinning through the window, I know that's just what I got them for but I was happy with the effect. After turning them off, I looked around the flat and saw just how little light we have in the flat.

Sorry for no Photos of it but I'll get some done as soon as I get some time...

Till then here is Bink watching the sun set.

American The Bill Hicks Story

Its not like me to say I wanna see a flim before it comes out but This one.... I wanna see.

If you dont know who this is then you need to educate yourself! Then come back to me.

This guy puts a smile on your face and a through in your mind. If he did not pass away I think that he would be the president by now.

R.I.P Bill and as you say "It's an insane world, but I'm proud to be part of it."

Squash Not Much Else(In a Good Way)

Today was A nice day, I woke up earlier then planed so what to do with the extra time that I had. Played some more Splinter Cell and got some achievements, Hand a nice long shower.

Fluff had gone off to see a friend and I had the place to myself. My own music on and the cat on my lap(if only for a few minutes).

Then off to Brixton for a Squash game and what a game it was, I did get my ass kicked but it was getting closer on every game.

Back home after a drink and Pizza from Ritzy I just chilled out.... Nice to have a night without to much going on when I have already done something with my day.

Song of the Day

This is the pendulum tune that I was in... but not in, Anyways it poped into my head today and I was thinking about putting it on the Song of the day

Spits This week (25/05/2010)

Well as I was running around all day and happens to eat one to many smoothies at the Cafe. So Spits this week was a little bloated.

Working on some different moves this week, anti-spin3 pettel flowers with an isolation in the mid, but all the pics are really just of some of my friend being random and crazy jumping through hoops... and I'm not even joking

Love Walk on Love Walk

Back in the old days(When i 1st moved into my own flat) there was a little place called "Willows" My brother used to take the piss calling my ex Girlfriend "Willow" after the character in the 1988 Movie as she was a petite girl (no where near as tiny as Fluff). Anyways, that nice place is now gone hehe. anyways its a really nice Cafe/Restoration and its really really nice. We have been there 2 times now and both times we have both loved what we have got. Cheap (for what you get) and great food, even the salad in the burger was fucking amazing.

Oh and some kick ass smoothies!!!

Choppers in the Park

While in the park with Fluff, there was a roar, a blast of wing and then there was something new in the park with us.

A blue chopper landed on the green, With kings right next door to the park I was not shocked but it was something different in the nomal day.

Then another one joined it about 10 min later, after a little chat with the guys looking after it (not the pilot's) to find out that just the week before. somewhere in Surrey 2 guys had tried to "carjack" the helicopter, chocking the pilot and hanging off the back wing.

And you through Camberwell was bad lol

Tuesday Fun With the Fluff

The 1st part of the day was spent in a nice little park behind Kings called Ruskin Park. Its a nice park with green flats, tennis courts and some really nicely done flower beds, as its behind Kings college hospital. There are a lot of ill and old people going for walks there... as well as some air hospital choppers(I'll get into that later).

One other thin there have there is an abundance of life including a pond with ducks, geese Fish and alot of other birds(Crows, Pidgins, Robbins and others). Great for getting some snaps but alas I did not have my long lens with me or I could have got some really cool ones.

Save Our Music!!

I really hate it when some little new chump brings out a song using a great older track... Everything from A1 nicking A-ha's "Take on Me", Burke stealing "Hallelujah" from Jeff Buckley to Leona Lewis ripping off "Run" off Snow Patrol, Glee doing the one thing that I think should NEVER be touched by anyone and thats a Queen song. Sorry but I don't care how good you think you can sing your dreaming if you think your better then Freddie Mercury!

This one does something that nearly every cover/dub never does.... Add's something good and not just make the track sound like shit! What makes it worse is that all the little tiny spawn's of Satan THINK that there no talent fucking idols made these amazing songs.

This should be a stand of anyone that really loves music and what it can do for us all! dont let these wank stanes still some of the great music that our generation has made, let alone the ones generations before mine

Professor Green - I Need You Tonight ft. Ed Drewett : Official Video - watch more funny videos

Im Feeling sorry for the Wolds of Sweden

I wanna Go I wanna GO!!!

This is a Zoo Swedish style. and I am really hoping that I can see it this summer when in Lund

Something that I cant Say but I'm happy for

Today someone I know did something that they have been REALLY trying to do for a long time now and I was going to put up a post and a video for this person but as I was asked not to... I'm not going to.....

..... But this is for you and once the cat is outa the bag I'll do a post with the Video in it.

Till then well dont keep it up and im looking forward to seeing more on Tuesday!!!

Another Long day part 2

Part 2 od the day was a evening on the heath of Hampstead! Shy joined me on the trip up there, to meet cookie & her Plus 1, Queenie, Kay and my Fluff. The heath was packed when we got there. A guy was racing a R-C car along the ground.

We bumped into some other people doing some poi and went off to say hi. Gotta love that about poi people - always open and up for a chat, and a play as well. After a good day of chatting spinning and meeting new friends(as well as seeing some old ones) We headed off home and I had a big smile on my face.

Another Long day part 1

Today I had a long day planed but after a nice night out with the Fluff I was not feeling top of the pops.

The plan was simple, go to the Spin for Peace, Freedom, and Human Rights that no one really turned up for, then go up to Hampstead for a meet with the Swedish connection.

After a quick run around I left my place to get up to town, the meet was set from 14.00 till 21.00 but I did not get there till around 15.00.... But no one was there, alot of sleeping hippies and tents and not much else, Shy met me soon after I got there and Alex from Spits/Synergy Spinners joined us a little while later.

The sun was shinning and the sky was blue so It was fun just spinning in the Sun.

New Toy!!!

Guess what?

Today one of my latest Ebay items came in the post, This grip is going to around the £200.00 and I snuck in on the last few seconds to grab it for £80 with P&P... I like sneaking lol.

After the glam shoot the other week I could feel my wrist getting tired and with the add Squash that we're now doing I did not wanna really fuck it up.

I have only done a few shots with it today but I'm hoping that I am going to get some good ones on Sunday... Wish me luck

Squash for the 2nd time

Today was the 2nd Squash of this week and I have to say that it was really great. Getting a good sweat on this time, and we both had a good run around.

This time at Brixton Recreation Centre, A place with a full gym, swimming pool and bowls as well as Squash and a footy pitch.

We had a little walk around it this time as we both wanted to see what the Gym was like. I've been told that its going tfor only £20 per month and for a gym in London thats really great.

Hold this space as I ould be joining them soon enough.

Addicted To Ebay?

I know that this sounds really lame but I have only just started to use Ebay.

I 1st joined it in2003/4 but rarely used it as I kinda got Burt on the 1st thing I bid for, It was a Sim card for a mobile phone for 0.99p. I did not have my pal-pay set up as I did not know what the fuck pay-pal was. After trying to set it up(its a bit of a pain in the ass) the seller of this item left me bad feedback!

I ended up starting up a new account a few years later with a different name and never used it till after I got my D-slr, it was only for an off camera lead but the easy of getting something from half a world away was really cool as I could not find a Sony lead anywhere!.

xbox 360 chat pad

Now im into bidding for items and have since got a xbox 360 chat pad for half the price that its in the shops. Also have A set of studio lights and a battery grip on the way as well as a few other things.

Theses something about waiting for the last few seconds of the bid to die before sneaking in there with the highest bid and hoping that it is the highest, as you don't have enough time to replace you bid at 7seconds. Watching an item for a few days and it not really rising, getting your hopes up and then checking about an hour before the end, and some little fluff ball has pushed the price up to silly money.

Now my pockit money has gone for this month and I have to be a good boy till next month.

Anyone Looked up tonight?

Fluff just let me know that there is a beautiful crescent Moon tonight, So I jumped up and got my long lens out.

Shooting at F45(I didn't know glass could go that far lol) and a shutter 1.5I got some shots, I just open my window and shoot right out of the flat, funny when you think about some shots... remember what the rest of the frame looked like.

Just goes to show, you should always have your camera to hand.

Song of the Day

Just putting the last few touches to the Glam shoot pics and listening to the Plan B album and loving it, an album with a story issomething I love but dont really here these days.

This is the last track on the CD but I have to say its a good one...

Enjoy

New Lights

Well today I order my new studio lights, So looking forward to geting some new shots with them.

But 1st I have got to get these last few photos left from the shoo the other day, Tomorrows the deadline and I now have 21 photos done and I'm looking forward to finding out just what the model thinks

Squash Twice a Week?

Today My and my Squash baddie (who I have still to come up with a nickname for) went up to Hammersmith for a round of Squash... this is the 1st time since Sweden I have been cos of the foot injury.

I forgot my wrist support and I have a feeling that my wrist is going to be playing up on me this week now, Other then that It was really fun. I love doing something a little different and doing something active is always a plus.

But as the title says, Were now going to try this 2 times a week.... lets hope all this working out pays off lol

Song of the Day

I'm still trying to get around to getting my guitar string fixed and I keep thinking of different songs that I wanna play, this being one of them!!

IT ECCLES TIME

Today Was going to be a lazy day for me, work on some of the pics from Wed shoot and play some games... I did have to pop to the shops to get some food, not a big thing at all.

while i was out getting some food in i saw something that I have never seen before.

Real Lancashire Eccles cake, something new but sounded funny so i picked them up.

7mins in the oven and out they came, smelling of something like a figues cake, but it turns out it was they have Currants in them.

On the back of the bag it read

"These cakes are individually made from the finest ingredients obtainable in order to re-capture the authentic appearance and flavour of a Real Lancashire Eccles cakes"

Fun in the Dark Event

Last night was the Fun in the dark event, A poi spinning gig with some of my friends on Clapham Common. Shame only a few people showed but between us we had some fun and a few drinks.

Would love to do it again and with some better weather which tuned out to be just fine for the whole evening... not a drop of rain or a blast on wind till we left around Midnight.

Thank's again guys and I'm hoping you had as much fun as I did

Song of the Day

This morning i woke up with this tune in my head, enjoy

Skinnies Got a Teddie

Skinnies Teddie

A good friend of mine is a fucking Queen on photoshop and she has been doing Custem made Teddies for her friends, and now i have joined that elite rake of friend lol

THANK YOU!!!

A Day With The Family

Little C on GH3

Today was a really nice day dont you think, the sun was shinning and the birds kept singing all day long. I don't know why I was so happy, maybe the shoot yesterday went so well or maybe it was that my brother, nephew and one of my oldest friends was coming over(she happens to be my bros G/F as well)

Easy E & Bush in the Pie&Mash Shop

We headed up to one of my fav little food places in all of London, Walworth roads Pie and mash shop is just legendary and the 5 of us (that Fluff and I as well as the other 3) enjoyed loads of licker and mash... mmmmmh my belly's smiles just thinking about it now, yummy.

Ralph balloon

Then Off to Blockbusters where I got Easy E a new game for his Xbox, Gears of war 2! its a game tat I have had for a while but its online bits are just some of the best and I still think its one of the best 3rd person shooters on the market.

Flow toys Beer opening

After having my 2nd pair of Flow toys I'm thinking of getting myself a Flow-wand but after a little look at a few sites its harder to find then you would think, Still have to check homeOfPoi but if i find some more I'll let you know.

Now this is a poi add they never had before

Photo shoot!!

Well to day was the day of the big shoot, Well it was not that big but was in my mind.

This was the 1st Glam shoot that I have done and it was paid work so I could say that I'm a Professional photography.... hehehe.

Any ways we got picked up down the road and we headed down to Surry for a few hours of shooting, Fluff was my assistant and helped me with everything for getting my tools and holding the reflectors. She was also a big help to getting the right angles and was a valuable source of feedback as the shoot progressed.

Pics might be up soon If She doesn't mind, best to be nice, right?

Mini Shoot

Today I wanted to do a little shoot before the one im doing tomorrow, Fluff helped out being my model and using the new screen that I got yesterday we got a lot of work done.

Working with the lights that we have and the techniques that I have learned over the last (wow its been nearly a year) from book the net and my friends that are in the game (of Photography).

I'll Put some of the pics up once I have had a chance to work on them, and I'll let you know a link once I have one to give

Song of the Day

Thanks shy for this one, been a while but I still love Shinedown

To Many Things 2 Remember

Today I have been stressing about an up coming Photo shot.

I got a nice plan white background from the Arts shop and did a little food shopping. Got home and read up on a book I have on Nudes to help with some last min tips and tricks.

I have most of the stander kit and I believe I have the skill to pull this one off, But I'm still a little worried about it. I think I'll be fine once I'm there and shooting but till I press the shutter for the 1st time.

Now I am trying to find a way to do watermarks(the easy way) in photoshop CS3, But as my computer is being so fucking rubbish im using Fluffs as she has 2gb of RAM on her (Windows-XP) PC and my tiny little 1gb(on vista I might add) is not doing the job

Song of the Day

Why not lol

Elephant Parade

LINK

The other day Fluff came home telling me about some elephants...

Today I found out what she was on about!

We hooked up with one of our friends who knew about all the elephant. and a map that lets us know there all over the city, from Brixton(south) to St.Pancras(North) - West Field (West) to Greenwich (East). a total of 258 all over London and each one is panted, edited, tilded and any diferent kind of artwork/DIY you can think of.

Today we hit up the south bank and around H.M.S Belfast, and after a quick bite to eat were I saw a Square Pie for my 1st time we headed out to get some pics. Link to the pics at the top of the page.

Song of the Day, Fail!

The other day When i was up the park, FiaTheGreat showed me a tune on the guitar, I just went to start learning it as its a beautiful song and It makes me feel happy.

I pull my guitar out of its case but something sounds a little funny. The 3rd string from the top was busted.... that just suck's as i was really in the mood to play a little something.

Who knew that VR was short for VeryGreen?

Did anyone watch the Election last night? or any of the new about it.

Remember that guy in the VR room? walking around looking smug and all matrix like...

Every time I saw him I did not see the cool FX and the CGI backround, I saw a Stupid man in a Green room

Well I have something to make him look a little silly....

Don't you just love the BBC

Fun In The Dark

LINK!!!

After the Fun in the sun, and the chats that I have had since. I think its time for another night od spinning fun but this time on a nice spring evening.

Fire will be the chose of the night if people are up for it and I think it could be fun.

Some of my friends did something in Clapham a few weeks ago and as its not a park we can stay there after it gets dark. Plus its another night to spin fire as im sure there will be loads this summer with Southend lights and the legend's that are the "Fire & Dance" partys (Thanks JE)

Im sure this will be a smaller night then last time but I think it could still be fun.

Song of the Day

TUNE!

What to do in the early hours

Well this morning I needed to kill some time and as my computer is like running poo and i cant do anything with it, I disided to write some games reviews on the last few games that I got so enjoy and let me know what you think

LINK

Cat Fun!!

This is not really the high light of my day but it was close, after pulling out half my flat and tidying up everything, i sat down to have a little play with my little girl.... the fluffy one

Did You Vote today?

Well I did and as I'm watching the Election on the telly tonight I'm hoping that my readers went out tonight and Voted(or in some places got to vote)

Now im not going to get into it with anyone as I have chatted with everyone over different things and I'm not going to get into that over the internet. I'm just hoping that non of you went for the B.M.P as I'm hoping that I don't know anyone that stupid.

Camden's Speakers corner

On our way back to Camden we popped into a pub called The Spread Eagle, We had a baked potato and a beer each. Chatting as we walked to the tube, a white guy with a mega phone was beatboxing (and was good!) made us stop, both me and FiaTheGreat, stand there and watched.

It was like Camden's Speakers corner, It turns out that some guy was taking a stand about living in England and having a dig at the up coming Election.

Videos going up on youtube right now, and onces its up, Ill put it on here.

Till then heres a LINK to my my channel

Wednesday In the Park

Last night (Tuesday Night)I had a little look on face-book to see if an old friend of mine had messaged me.

FiaTheGreat is one of the old Spotters for DSI and I'm happy to say one of my oldest mates in the rave scene.

As shes living out in the far east right now, she poped over to Europe to see some friends and family and we were going to have a chilled day in the park and have a little get together. Trouble was that she had planed it for 12.00 at London Zoo.

Being that It was 3am when i read this I had to run off to bed, Cutting through Camden town I was running a little late but got to the park around 13.00.

After all it was just the 2 of us but It was nice to chat and chach up as it has been a long time since we had seen each other, I did a little fire poi and she played the Guitar.

Apart from the lack of Sun it was a really nice day

Spits This week

Well with Spits this week we had a big turn out, Lots of new faces and the smiling ones of old hands.

I worked on the 2 moves that i needed but got down one I did not even know I could do, Nice when that happens, I do have some film from Tuesday but as anyone that's talked with me of late knows that my computer is being really shitty. So I'm going to have to wait to make something of the footage (edit, crop and music).

My New Game gets Yahtzeed

Zero Punctuation: Splinter Cell: Conviction

Day at the Queen's

Just as we left Stockholm, both Fluff and I wanted to get some cinnamon buns but my one was so dry that I could not eat it. So as Queenie and Fluff were in a cooking mood, I got my bun after all.

Mondays Trip Out

We went off to see the Queen today, Nothing much planed but as we had not seen her in such a long time we made a move up to hers.

One of the troubles of living in London is knowing that every weekend there's at least one tube thats not working, This weekend it was the line that Queenie lives on so we had to go to another station. While waiting for her to pick up up, Fluff and I went on a little walk around the station and we found some nice flowers, just growing up in this car park.

Sunday In Covent Garden

A few months ago we went to Le Pain Quotidien with Happy-Street. On Sunday Fluff and Me headed up to get some lunch.

We both really wanted to get some greens so we got a chicken salad... pics below

After a lowly meal we had a little look at the sweets and very un-characteristically I got something for afters... Its called a Pavlova and hmmmmmmmmm yummy

Sorry for being late

Hey there guys, Its been a bit of a killer week for me so I have not been on but I'll do me best to update you on all.

4days of fun and running around to see and chat about.

Gamings should be played... NOT WATCHED

Heavy Rain is just another game that kinda forgot the

meaning of the work ..... GAME

Plan for Tuesdays Spits

Every time I get to go up to spits I just spin and chat or chat and not spin at all but this week I'm trying to get a little plan together. As I have been working on my staff of late, my poi is kinda getting dusty.

I am going to be doing staff as well but I wanna work on 2 different moves 1st Caps and then Pirouttes. both moves dont look like WOW but I belive that both will add a little something to my skills and make myself feel a little more spinny

Another Saturday night in

This is becoming a thing of mine now, The weekends used to mean so much but these days its just hard work going out at the weekends. Thinking of going out and doing some poi tomorrow but as its pissing down in rain right now it could end up being wet as well.

Just been looking at some old glowstring vids from Youtube.com, Itsreally bring some old memorys back from the good old days of poi, I say good old day but I mean when only glowsticking was the only poi that I knew (the last time that I felt like a poi master)

These days I feel lost when I'm around my poi friend as most of them could spin me under the table... Everything from Isolations and anti-spin just makes my head spin. (no pun intended)

I missed the Fire!!

I herd that some of the guys from spits were going to to spin some fire on the Wednesday after I got back and I have just seen a video from the event.

As you can guess, I'm kinda pissed at myself for not going. They called it "The Full Moon Fire Gathering" and as the next full moon is not till round the 27th I'm going to have to wait a month.

So this Sunday, if the weathers good (I'm told it might be shitty) I'm going to spin some fire and have some fun with myself, If anyone is up for it then let me know and I'll let you know if it happens or not
