I'm 16 now :)

Well what a great day, last night Chris sent me his and Allisons birthday Gift or a preview of it...wow it's amazing, it's like this mirror with an image from my favourite book ever (shown in the reading section of the sidebar) it looks fricken awesome! Rammy jam had sent me her present too which is fricken awesome and is now accompanied by my new sony ericsson w800i :-)

Lauren bought me a 1gb RAM stick for my iBook, it's like having a whole new computer. Then me and her ordered some pizza which was nice (we're going out for a meal tomorrow night with the rents) and then we just talked, it's nice to just talk with each other, it helps relationships much more. I'm happy...very happy now, we're both happy. School has ended for both of us and in many cases a lot of chaos, turmoil and stress has ended with it, leaving more time for us to grow closer together and become more matture together.

For the people who even just told me Happy Birthday, i'm extremely grateful that you even remembered it was my birthday and that you even bothered to think about me :-) stuff like that keeps me happy, just knowing i'm not alone and that there's someone looking out for me even if i don't know them that well.

Today i think i received the greatest gift of all, happiness. I found comfort in knowing those who care, thanks to everyone :-)

So my school ended on thursday (for me anyway) so now i'm working for my dad at his place. It's weird, i have this worry about stuff for school like every day but then i realise "what...i don't even go to school"

Been trying my best with this website right now, it's going alrite i guess, need more traffic. Been playing a lot of guitar and stuff lately, sorry i haven't posted more, my sleeping pattern has been so messed up, i woke up at 4........pm, today. I really need to get into something more regular.

So yeah, il do some excercise to tire me down a bit. later y'all. drop by the site

United 93.....................

So i had a chance to go out with mates tonite...not necessarily by my own choice but it ended up happening none the less. So we went to see United 93....it's about the 4th flight that was hijacked on 9/11...it didn't reach its destination due to the passengers trying to overthrow the hijackers to control the plane.

It made me cry...several times....yeah i'll admit it. i sat beside 2 of my best friends and cried while watching it. It showed so much detail...so much evil...so much sadness....what topped it off and made me cry was the fact that it was true and that today's society is unfortunately so evil like that. :( how and why would anyone do that? it makes no sense to me.

Today i was kind of upset over all i guess due to some personal issues, most of which were my own fault i guess. On the plus side what put a smile on my face was my big cousin Stephen came over and sat with me and talked with me while i waited on my friend, that cheered me up.

...Such a moving film. (what a pun eh?)

the site.........

www.featuredmp3.com

i was supposed to mention it on the post below but my little html thing didn't work with my widget. oh well...

...so anyways i did a little more to the site fixing things here and there, overall it's giving me a good sense of acheivement, it's cool to be able to do something like that at such a relaxed pace.

Media exam (last one) is nearing...and i haven't revised yet and i really should to just refresh my memory on things. I hope i pass it

Too tired to make a constructive post, will try a better one later.

um......yeah....

so it's been a wee while since i've been on here, but it's for a good reason. I've been building a site with my cousin (Gareth, check his blog in my links)
so yeah...that's the name of it, we plan to update it as much as possible and include an article about something apple/mac related as much as possible.

So i have one more exam left, could almost say i've left school now, i've even handed in my sheet to the head mistress to say i've handed in all my books, locker keys etc. and she has now signed it to confirm that i am no longer apart of my school. Kinda sad when i think about it, i'll miss school if i don't get back, i really hope i do.

So i finished the guitar for Just a Phase...it sounds alrite i guess, needs a few tweaks here and there...let the drummer (Ben) hear it...i dunno if he liked it or not, he said part of it was annoying. Parts of it have timing issues, so i will have to fix them.

Anyhow, check out the site...shall try and post more frequently again.

The Beach.........................................









well it had to happen..................

I guess it really did have to happen, i thought that i'd maybe be able to make it through all of my exams without thinking "i failed that one" but no....that day came today, chemistry, i was well rested and hadn't revised due to excessive revision on that subject alone earlier in the year...well i may have passed my mock for it, but i have definitely not passed this one. i made such a hash of it, i guess there's no point in me complaining about it...there's nothing i can do now and i have one more science exam where i can try my best to make up for the loss.

so anyhow...i got my first birthday present the other day (yeah pretty early) but it's soooooooo cool, my friend from canada (ramdeep...check the blog out in my links ;-) ) bought me this Incubus Lollapalooza Cd and may i say...it's fricken awesome!! Since the album before this bootleg was released, Mike of Incubus switched from PRS guitars to fender. To be honest i didn't think it was a good decision, on the bootleg and infact on any live material since then played by the band, you can tell the difference in the guitar, there is a crisper sound to the guitar and it seems kinda sharp or something, where as the PRS gave a deep sound. Fair enough, this is perfect for songs like "Nowhere Fast" (the fender) ...so i was thinking, why doesn't Mike use both his PRS and Fender?? It'd make more sense to me i guess, and have a guitar to suit all songs. So anyhow...what a fricken awesome bootleg!!

Still haven't done much to just a phase, i'll wait til either tonite....or tomorrow....or the weekend maybe, i dunno. i need inspired in some way again...motivated.

maths.....grrr.............

both good and bad...i have another maths exam, but after the next 2 hours of confusion (the exam) i will not have to do it in school ever again. everyone says you'll never need it outside of school...but i'm kinda skeptical, we'll see what happens.

So i've been having some complication with blogger lately, a post of mine wouldn't post...blogger said they were doing maintainence, so i just waited and tried to repost it but to no avail. it was a nice post too. :(

Still haven't got around to recording any more of Just a Phase, i've kind of been lazy on the musical front, i haven't been at home very much this week at all (a lot of time in Larne) so i haven't had a chance to play my guitar much, hopefully i'll get more of a chance this week, my vocal cords feel a bit pish right now too...they need worked on, i wish i could sing much better...i haven't got a very high range, anyone know of any ways to increase a vocal range without having to pay $15 for a one month program that is guaranteed to work or you get your money back and a free ab-master 3000 as compensation?

Time off.......

so now i have a week off until my next exam which is nice, i'm not even gonna bother talking about my maths exam cause it was just a waste of two years, got my next one next week for maths.

so i'm probably gonna get a haircut while i'm off, it's been made pretty clear to me that i look like too much of a hippie, i was actually quite enjoying the look, but i'll probably just get a trim or something.

So right now it is warm...and i can't think of very much to say cause i'm way too tired, more tired than i should be.

Just a Phase...............

So last night i finally sat down and played around with garageband to try and get the orchestral stuff incorporated into the song. i thought it sounded quite good, apparently it's slightly off so i'll need to go back and fix that.

I think i may have found a way to make ammends with some people, things haven't been the greatest with regards some people i know and i'd rather not have anyone dislike me right now...not that everyone has to like me i guess, but i'd like to fix things and apologise for the way i acted towards them in the process.

So it's hay fever season and it's been bugging me all day, until i went and bought some clarityn (hay fever drug stuff) muhaha...it doesn't stand a chance now...except there's only 7 tablets and it was buy one get one free so i have about 2 weeks left of defence, plus i got a pretty nifty "survival kit" free as well (for hay fever...not for fighting off a pack of wolves or something in the wilderness)

Yeah so i think i'll go and record the bass line to this song now...oh yes, garageband is so cool i can do that with my guitar. it lowers it an octave and i can make a good slap sound with it (not that it's appropriate for the song) i'll keep ya posted

Insomnia of a teenager..................

things were going ok as regards exams, until today, well i wouldn't exactly say both of the ones i had went horribly (biology and business studies) but i couldn't sleep until 4:30am and had to get up at 8am...so in 2 days i've had very little sleep. I couldn't really concentrate during the exams and had all sorts of things in my head.

So i'm lacking sleep, i've always really had problems with sleep within the last 2 years, ever since i remember becoming a teenager...well that'd be 3 years then, but yeah, as soon as i became 13 things got tougher, it wasn't so easy for me to sleep anymore. Maybe i'm just being stupid but it was like the art of sleeping (there's a skill to it????) just slipped my mind and i could no longer get to sleep on time, no matter how long i lay there just waiting. A friend of mine told me it's maybe that subconciously i have stuff on my mind all the time, i thought that too, being a teenager can be more stressful than some people like to think and they give it the whole attitude of "oh you don't know what stress is until you're 40 and in debt" and i'm sure that's very true, but being a teenager comes your first real responsibilities, you learn how to communicate, you learn how to treat people and learn how society works (sure, you learn this when you're younger, but when you get older it progresses to a more advanced level) Could this be why i don't sleep so well? constant thoughts plaguing my mind?? do i think too much?? or is it just that i've had my iPod for about 3 years and listen to it everynight before bed, maybe the music provokes my thoughts and i'm sure it most likely does that indeed. do i talk to much crap when i've had little over 3 hours sleep within 2 days??

So i popped 4 sleeping pills and tbh i feel quite ill (not cause i took them) and have done all night, it's just the lack of sleep, but as i type this the sweat is oozing out of my back. and so i need sleep, even if it is more than 3 and a half hours i'll appreciate it so much more cause i've lacked it.
