Brothers, when will we be three again my brothers?

Arrived back in a London covered by a layer of strange grey floating carpets... oh wait... these are clouds! i had almost forgotten what they looked like. Whizzed through security with my fantastic English passport before stumbling out into arrivals and waiting for ages looking for someone i recognised to come and get me! It was my mum's birthday so i had friends arrange to pick me up because i wanted to surprise her. And i did, though i think she had a hunch.

After dealing with the family around for mums birthday we went bowling. By the time i went to bed i hadn't slept in 48 hours. Damn flight times! But i get to see my mum and my brothers.

I was born into a family of nutcases...

All in all its good to be back but i have already walked through town thinking... what a shit hole. But having my brothers around me and my friends lining up to see me it makes putting up with this country and the long flight all worth it.

For the Uneducated...

Sure this is for one musically challenged person in particular, but its time for my favourite album this week anyways... seeing as I'm gonna be busy sorting out my trip to the UK for the next couple of nights!! 

Reminded of it, when someone said mumford and sons, i quickly fiddled with my ipod and blasted out my favourite London Folk music. Noah and The Whale. Their debut album 'Peaceful, the World Lays Me Down' is a masterpiece.

Everyone I've recommended it to loves it. Its obviously a bunch of teenage guys armed with acoustic guitars and a drumset singing about girls. It's soft yet sometimes upbeat, especially '5 years time'. Most the songs are super catchy despite them being luvvy duvvy. If you've recently broken up best not to listen to it! Leila I've put a few tunes on a CD for you but this is the album they are off! Buy this album! haha

Other favourite this week, as ever is all Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds stuff... he is my favourite artist...

Dare i say it even more so than Muse? and i looooove Muse...

As you can see, been into the softy stuff this week. Maybe thrash it up next week when the new Klaxons album is out. Massive excitement!!

When you get bored and start drawing things...

Heres a few drawings i did recently. This is what happens when ur friends leave the country and you are stuck in on a friday night. Plus im skint at the moment because im saving for my trip back to the uk. Yes they are Dragonball Z characters but hey i love anime. And heck its easy to draw too!

Hope someone thinks they arent too bad.

You've been sentenced to death by sexy

Album of the week.... thought this might be a nice way to make sure i do something once a week at least on here. Simple really. Just whatever album I've enjoyed listening to this week I'll post.

This week its The Eagles Of Death Metal with... 'Death By Sexy'.

The title pretty much sums it up. An album of sexy rock and roll. Its not unlike Queens of the Stone Age, namely because the qotsa frontman Josh Homme is half the band. His style of sexy riffs and dirty lyrics, apparent throughout qotsa albums oozes sexiness and forces your body to move in ways you thought rock and roll would never allow.

 If u look them up they look like american neo nazi's ... but they're not. Josh Homme is infact the smexiest ginger i think I've ever seen.

Or put in a way that's not so gay.. if i had to be a carrot top then I'd wanna be him! Ok, still sounds a bit strange.

While we're on the subject Josh also teamed up with Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl and Led Zeppelin bassist John Paul Jones to form a Superband. They are called 'Them Crooked Vultures' and are definitely worth a listen.

Because she wanted pictures...

Special request for you leila... some random pics to fulfill your thirst while i attempt to plan something interesting and gather a scraps evidence of me having a life. :P enjoy

Recently in thailand with my favourite little buddy i met at the croc farm.

I heart animals.

Back in the school days (seems so long ago now)

Always seem to be surrounded by beautiful people! lucky me.

Coming to Oz i have to try and be a surfer dude... i can surf.. honest

So there... thats most of the very few pics i have of me. Ill try and make this a bit more interesting!!

Promise...

The beggining of something beautiful?

Well, this is my first blog ever. I want to say so much dribble yet i know no one will be reading this. Well not yet anyways. Persuaded by the lovely Leila at work i thought i would give this a go. I want to show my friends in the UK when i go back and i hope they might use this as a way of keeping track of me! It just seems so much more personal than facebook! Wouldn't you agree?

This is obviously a work in progress.. a way of me trying something new to tackle my thankfully decreasing loneliness in this new but beautiful city. But watch this space..
