“Mae fy hofrenfad yn llawn o lyswennod.”
– (via samwalton)
Tried to translate this and all I got was ‘He is being me one will be hovering fully he eels’..
I'm on a train.
There’s a rather annoying man playing some ‘baseline’ on his phone and MC-ing along with it on his own..
I seem to of taken a liking to Drum and Bass..
Reality T.V
I’m not a fan of Reality T.V, and I think an hour someone watches a reality show they lose ten points off of their I.Q score.
The only true success found from this type of programming where the audience control who/what the audience see’s have been Will Young and Gareth Gates who (if you can remember) were the finalists of the first ever ‘Pop Idol’, which set off the...

Inauguration

Honest question, not a debate: Why shouldn’t they feel like they have more in common with a man they hear of everyday? Worker X who lives in the U.S may never see or hear of Worker Y in the U.K. Unless I’ve misunderstood you?
Worker X and his boss share some cultural heritage (and worker X has every right to be ‘proud of’ this cultural past), so to some extent you can...

*I said some stuff about America.*
Woah, woah, woah… Nationalism is a bad thing, it divides the working class. Being proud of where you live, for whatever reason is OK but being proud to be an ‘American’, ‘English’ or whatever creates a divide in the international working class. It makes the employed classes feel that they have more in common with their bosses than...
The Best Song Explanation Ever.
A man with a really posh, booming voice proudly announces:

Inauguration
samwalton:
Bloody hell, they don’t do things by halves in the US. There’s such an insane amount of people at this ceremony. All this talk of freedom and ‘peaceful democracy’, excessive patriotism, and exaltations of faith along with the fact the crowd is lapping it up is really annoying.
Ooh, and the crowd just cheered at Obama’s name; he’s a politician, not the fucking messiah.
Yeah, but his...

That guy from the Black Eyed Peas.
And obviously, who could forget the almighty Bono. Who will make a famous appearance after spending a decade up his own arse.
I’ll add more when I think of them. Feel...

I've decided..
One of my many new year resolutions was actually to start being a bit more creative other than just writing songs on my guitar. This is why I’ve decided that I will actually start to write something purposeful content on here. I’m not really sure what I’m going to do, feel free to help me out if you would like.
Just thought you would like to know, just incase you have no idea...

Well, what an amazing five days! We stayed in a place in the Lake District known as Brotherswater which is inbetween Keswick and Windermere. The weather was mostly rubbish and cold but warmed up at around 3:00pm where the sun settled nicely for some of my better shots (which still need to be uploaded) making it look a lot warmer than it actually was. One day when we went biking the...
