Do you ever have those moments where you feel like you can listen to a song for days on end and never get tired of it. Or where certain songs seem to relax you so much that you stop whatever you're doing and just listen intently. One of those moments crept up on me and it seemed to nudge me into writing a blog about my recent adventures. By the way the song in question is Climbatize by The Prodigy. I find myself pressing the back button many times when it nears the end. I can just imagine myself driving on a motorway at night... endlessly. The streetlights blurring... minimal traffic... cruising to an unknown destination... with all the time in the world. Sorry, I should snap out of it. Quick, find Lady Gaga on the radio! That'll make me vomit out of this state...
To business. For those of you who have Twitter (here's me; VTApinapple), you may have come across one of those mass Twitter subjects called "#lameclaimtofame". For all you outsiders, this is where everyone posts something that they've done, or post an event related to them regarding a celebrity of some sorts. So for example I can see some randomer has posted "I've met Robert Llewellyn #lameclaimtofame". I decided to join in with this pointless event. Now for those who are aware, I could have posted exactly what that randomer had said. I have indeed met Robert Llewellyn, star of Red Dwarf, Scrapheap Challenge and his Internet show CarPool (a show where he gives various celebrities an interview whilst giving them a lift in his car). I recommend the Stephen Fry episode greatly. I could have also put "I've had a conversation with Chuck Norris' stunt double" or even "Gabe Newell sent me stuff" (now that's just bordering on boasting, I do apologise). But what I ended up posting was this; "I went to school with Louis La Roche". I wager that the majority of you won't have the foggiest idea who I'm talking about. Friends who went to the same school as me will know immediately who it is after this image.
When I heard he was actually touring in America, my original thought was "Holy crap, that makes 3 successful musicians to come out of Lowestoft in the last 5 years". OK so he isn't mega-well-known as of yet, but leave it a couple of years and I'd wager he will become quite a figure. Heck, he's already been played on Radio 1 and gathered a healthy following on MySpace (216,000 no less). A simple Google search reveals almost 4 million results and a similar YouTube search shows a myriad of videos. The most watched of which (and one which I recommend the most) being the Thriller Remix. Maybe I'm just years behind heaping praise on Brett, but I am genuinely impressed someone my age has pretty much made it. I've only recently found out so don't kill me! And in the remote chance he actually reads this, two thumbs up!
Moving on... As mentioned at the bottom of Part 1 of Topics Galore (the second of which will be here shortly after this post), I mentioned a friends 18th birthday house party. There was indeed much loud music and much alcohol. However I was very, almost pleasantly, surprised that not a lot of it was drank. I myself had the equivalent of about 2 pints, but no one was near the "pass-out, be sick in the bath" stage. Which was good. However the leftover drink was perhaps not good for my friend. Who now has a fridge full of lonely cans. As with most parties these days, I always take my laptop. A trusty source of music and light entertainment if things get a bit boring. Or, the combination of the two being: Audiosurf. I remember once when I was playing a song in the common roof at 6th Form a couple people looking over my shoulder remarked "How the hell can you see where to go on that!". At first glance, yes I agree it looks like some sort of 90's rave, what with all those different colours and fast paced blocks of mentality. However people forget I'm a gamer, and gamers being gamers tend to spend a bit of time working out and acclimatising to certain puzzles or situations. By Jove, give me a physics based puzzle or a reflex orientated slalom and I'll get the gold medal every time!
Anyway, that's enough from me this time. I think smaller post's will do if it's just for explaining my recent trials and tribulations. I'm currently being spammed with lots of Facebook emails about this new "Stalker Check" application. It is rather funny seeing arguments and weird twisted love stories spring up, just because so and so has been looking at someones profile the most. Oh well, back in the box it is for me! Until next time...
