What ho!
Did everyone have a good Easter?
..No chocolate eggs for me...
Despite a severe lack of funds I still had a portion of fun. Friday was Ramshackle's 'Long Good Friday' all-nighter which me and the Sirs of Sirs managed to survive. I managed to do a pretty harsh dance floor slide and bruise my little knees.
I'm going to pay for such youthful antics later in life I'm sure.
Between seeing old friends and watching movies (I've been taking in a lot of Charlie Chaplin) I've been looking after my sweet little niece. The kid has me in stitches everytime I see her. She knows how to work a room and is utterly adorable. She also knows how to wear out her Uncle. You put on a show for her and she demands you do it over and over and over again. I love it really. Hangover or no hangover.
Where was I?
I've managed to finish TWO big scripties and a few episodes of 'WTHIWWUP' (A portion of which is featured in the previous posticle) which is ggggggrrrreat for me. I have a stock of stuff for people who want to read something, BBC type people or friends.
I've been digging the following bands; The Organ, Howling Bells, Tapes N Tapes, Two Gallants, Metric and some others.
The bootleg record 'Those Weren't The Days' by Ryan Adams is awesome too. It's probably the best album he never released. R.A junkies should (Soul) Seek it out.
The new haircut has caused me to get ID'd more often. Doormen and women seem perplexed when I show them my ID. One of them asked what my secret was to which I replied 'I rub my face in Cheerios'.
I'm only 26...how old am I supposed to look?
*Sigh*
I'm going to the LIONS DEN to return a few things and get a few things back.
Wish me luck.

good luck dude. I will be in when you get back if you need to get stuff off your chest.
Love ya, Steve Awesome (the big cheese)
Good luck. :)
May have to give your Cheerios trick a try.. ;)
I get the same thing. It is like being 26 has to mean fat and wrinkley.
I still get carded, only now they congratulate me when they hand the ID back. Boston's a big college town, so I think they err on the side of carding absolutely everyone anyway, because I think I look my age :)
Good luck with the returning and the getting of the things.
Does rubbing them in Captain Crunch work as well?
Cheerios? I knew it! There really IS a whole lot of goodness in them there O's.
Good luck with the Lion's Den. Apologies for sounding relentlessly cheeky but if you find two Benjamin Zephaniah books there could you grab them maybe?
Hope it all works out ok dude.
Fresh.
You'll always look like a young dude (I only said dude because of that song, I don't usually use those terms)...
When I hear about kids I tend to freak out because I have two cousings that bring me to my knees in despair...but I know some kids are sweet and sort of calm...
Keep up the good work :)
I thought my comment looked strange...it's the cousings! lol sorry about that, my fingers are ahead of my brain.
"you'll appreciate your youthful looks later in life." that's the line i always get. oh, and also, "do you have another form of identification?"
::gives you a chocolate egg::
Oh honey do not bemoan your haircut of youth! In the last couple of years its all caught up with me and I now very much 'look my age':(
*tootles off to buy some cheerios*
Your passport must be battered from overuse. But not used in a cool travel way. Damn. You'll have to come visit me
S. Awesome---Thanks for being so great, not just last night, but over the past few months. Even I'm sick of my K-based problems so I'm amazed you haven't slapped me by now!
Stephanie---It's an emotional roundabout that I want to get off. I'm just not as good at giving up and letting go as I'd like to be.
Indy Girl---Which isn't the case. We're still very young in the grand scheme of things.
Stephanie---I've heard that Boston is a good place for bars. Is that true?
Angel Jr---It depends on your skin. Keith Richards rubs his face in gravel. That's how he gets his raveaged look. That and hard drugs.
Trix---I do take care of my skin. You have to, don't you?
Having you turn up on my doorstep would be a treat indeed!
Fork---Man, it never works out. I care about someone who is beyond my help. I don't know where the books are. I don't even know where most of my stuff is!
Devil Mood---My Dad looks young so we have that in our family. It gives us a chance to recapture our youth as we tend to grow up too fast and miss out.
Day---I've given up drink for a while. I seem to do better without it.
Kimbelina---As I mentioned earlier, my Dad looks great for his age, so that'll make up for my other shortcomings.
Thanks for the egg!
She of the handbag---I doubt it. I don't think i look all that young but it depends on where I am and what time it is!
Mr Awesome---I have two. A battered one for ID purposes and a shiny new one for travelling and worldy adventures.
Sorry it didn't turn out as you expected. Hope you're ok sir.
I'm totally fine. It doesn't really get to me anymore. There's no point letting it. Nothing ever changes but nothing isn't part of my life anymore.
You do look very young - more spritelike and youthful than anything else.
You got a new haircut? It doesn't seem so from your photo? Did you re-dye it?
You're so busy!
i'm almost 26 and i get id'd ALL THE TIME. people think i'm 19. no worries, though. i'll love being 30 and looking like i'm 23!!!!!
Anhoni Patel---I'm going to put some pictures up soon. There are some good ones from the weekend but they're all on my brothers phone. Next time he comes up I shall upload them.
Vesper---It's cool being youthful and unhaggered.
I get really annoyed that people think I'm way younger than I am. I tend not to get IDd coz I'm too lazy to go to the bar for myself, but people just assume I'm a feckless idiot whose opinion doesn't matter. I'd like for people to see me when they look at me.
Yes cheerio facials help, but also playing in the sandpit, sucking a dummy (pacifier) and wearing a nappy (diaper) seems to influence people's view of me.
But yes, when I hit 40...oh who am I kidding? I have grey hair and wrinkles, it's just a question of self centered people not paying enough attention.
Perhaps it's my naiveness that makes me seem like a child trapped in a breeze.
I've vowed to become more knowing of womenkind this year. i realised today at work how little I really know...
Best regards from NY! »
