Hello!
Hi, so, let me start by telling you about my cool weekend with Phil! Yeah, he came down for the weekend because we were going to see Biffy Clyro! For the 4th time in my life, may I add! And as usual, it was absolutly amazing! I wouldn't expect anything less, from Biffy though! Did you notice every single sentence has ended with an exclamation mark yet?
That pic wasn't from the gig, but they were about as amazing as that. I was deep in the crowed and didn't even struggle to breath once! Unlike Reading festival, that was hardcore. I wish I could say the same about Phil though! He was almost right at the front, and actually passed out because of the excitement! I found him drenched and slumped in the corner, he sounded like heck. What a trooper! I'm so proud of him.
The day after, I took Phil down town for some shopping. And I'm so pleased to tell you that I managed to do something I've been wanting to do ever since I thought of it. You know those stupid idiots in the mall that try to sell you hand moisturiser? The first thing they ever say to you is "Hi, can I ask you a quick question please?" without fail. Well, finally they asked me it again on Sunday. Phil lent out the way so I could look her square in the monocle and say "you just did!" and then we both walked off whilst staring at her with satisfied smiles. I kept staring because I was hoping her head would explode at my cunning, but instead she just did this stupid sarcastic laugh thing. Bitch.
A few hours before Phil arrived on Saturday, the doorbell rang. Thinking it was him I raced to the door and ripped the door open with a big smile! It wasn't him, two suits were stood there, and they wiped that smile straight off my face. They said
"Hello there. How are you today?"
in the most solemn and Jesus-like voice ever. I told them exactly how I 'was' and they didn't hesitate to tell me about their spreading of the word of "Jesus Christ, the savior". I told them we were a house of atheists. I told them the truth! I like talking about it, hell, I've even been to church with my Christian friends! But I was way too busy to pwn them right now. They asked if anyone else was in, and I told them this was a one bedroom house.
Carrying on with the topic, I was talking to a Christian friend of mine and he explained how he has to 10% of what he earns to his pastor (sorry, church) every week. He gives £5 a week to his pastor. What's more, the university have awarded him an £1000 bursary this year, so he's going to give £100 of it to the church. Need I say more? Man, I wish I had thought of this one. He told me his pastor was "a legend" and I told him how I would be the nicest guy in the world if loads of people gave me 10% of their earnings each week! It's a great scam that takes advantage of peoples stupidness, so you get a laugh as well! I just feel bad for my friend.
Oh, and I do mean stupidness. I don't care if Christianity really is the correct answer, no one should pay money to be a Christian, to have their own beliefs. What? Do you think it's more likely to get you in to heaven? Are people that go to church twice a week more likely to get into heaven that people who go once a week? Give me a break.
On a side note, we had a great jam in the band again today. I can't get over how good the drummer is (Liam)! Not just drumming, he remembers all the little fiddly bits in the songs. We're thinking of calling ourselves "Shouting at Lions", but I think Liam's right, that's not important right now, we're barley even a band yet. I always do stupid stuff like this when I get into a band, ohhh, what's our myspace page gunna look like!? What can we call our album!? Who cares, I just like jamming. True
Oh, p.s. to all the people who tell me I shouldn't use my Tesco's clubcard because they can find stuff out about me: I don't care!! Get over it! You're worried about your information? Think of what google have on you!
Point taken. Google probably know way more about me than Tesco know about you.
ReplyDeleteGreat blog by the by. I especially loved the "Bitch" part. I can just see your little disappointed face when she wasn't completely pissed off that you were an ass to her. Haha. XD
Heya Richy boy, when did you grow balls? hehe I have this image in my head of you being macho and sticking up for yourself, and then straight after pulling a really cute smug smile and ruining it!
ReplyDeleteLove you(will have to visit soon)

P.S. am very jealous of your excessive Biffying!
hey- interesting post glad you had fin at the show. I'm missing brand new (i still hate they came to your school no im jelous), they are coming to my hometown 2 days before i get home- it makes me wanna die, favourite band i've NEVER seen. And my roomate is going and uhh i wanna cry. I digress. So the church makes him give the money or he does voluntaily. If he wants to support his religion i guess thats his own business. But i also think its really shitty that even if its vuluntary he feel obligated to do it as a student, i understand being an estabished adult, but giving way bursary money seem a little much. But i mean i'm an atheist too basically- so its difficult for me to comment unbiasdly.
