You know the kind of guy who does nothing but good things and then wonders why his life sucks. Well, that’s me, Every time something bad happened to me, nothing good was waiting right round the corner. Karma, that’s when I realized it was all a crock of shit, so I stopped trying and day by day I’m gonna be more of a bastard, I just don’t care anymore. My Name is Andy. |

Hey everyone, i think an entire era might have gone by since my last blog, but this is more of a notification.
On Saturday Tyler is back in the country for a week, so we are going out to Fire!
That’s the plan except as Tyler doesn’t have a house here anymore we are screwed for floors to crash on, (might have to make a few begging calls to sort that out).
But yes all must attend and there are no exceptions as he won’t be back in the country for at least another year and a half! |

Well, i was hoping to do a positive update but as i am living proof karma doesn't exist...
My car just cost me £475 to pass its MOT, one of my friends from cycling died of CJD as my dad put it "the other day", and it seems i have to feel guilty because i enjoy my job, or because my friend in birmingham wants me to go to gigs with him.
Actually i was feeling shit for no reason anyway obviously my subconscious knew this was all on the way.
Am i glad Tyler is coming to visit this weekend, 2 days after payday, fucking awesome! |

Ok unfortunately for you this is probably going to include a lot of ranting...
I cant actually remember when I last updated but I think a lot has happened, at the moment work is still great, I know most people seem to dislike their jobs at the moment but hey I don’t care about the low pay I get to play in a sand pit and get paid for it. The lesson is if you slog your fucking guts out long enough you eventually get the job you want.
So at the moment I am destroying a Greenfield site as the locals see it but in reality it’s a Brownfield site that got turned in to a field 30 years ago. All the locals hate the development but they were too late on protesting as the archaeologists are there now so as the crazy dog lady has found out if you piss of the people trying to preserve what’s left of British history you get a restraining order. For some reason I have been put in charge of 46 tones of machinery (a 21 tone digger and a 25 tone dumper truck) they even let me drive the digger, the fools don’t they know who I am, I nearly invaded Paris!
Despite a lot of things in the world that are pissing me off, I like my life, yeah it could be better but I cant complain that after a weeks work I like doing I get to see gem at the weekends, as many of you will know its good to have someone you relax around in that content way you do in a relationship. If your not in one don’t worry it took me long enough, if your not prepared to go through some heartache you don’t deserve one.
I have seen 2 films recently and neither wowed me, Spiderman 3 looking back sucked, the acting was bad, the fights were like a kids cartoon and they needed at least another year to work on the story, it was mindless entertainment but I didn’t go for that I wanted a gripping comic book adaptation.
The second was pirates 3... I know I am gonna get a torrent of fanboy/girl abuse for this, but I was disappointed! The acting was no longer hammy in a good way, and wasn’t consistent. But the big thing that got me was how the only person who actually seems to do any piracy is Barbosa, all sparrow really has going for him is depps acting, and even he seemed bored of it. It seems to me Hollywood has made pirates lovable by removing their very spirit, that they marauded across the sea stealing cargo and cutting down anyone who fought back, but Hollywood even removed any treasure island adventure aspect, think about it! The biggest thing is why were they all suddenly interested in the pirate code when the first film drilled it in to us that they were more "guidelines".
The biggest cop out was the final battle, no one seemed to be winning at any point until suddenly there was a winner, there was no heroic suspense, (but I spose the 2 hour run up of annoying dialog and meaningless deals between people counted as that. better fucking not!) why did the rest of the fleet even need to turn up, they didn’t do anything, I wanted an epic, I was promised an epic. The 2 armadas lined up and 2 ships battled... fuck no... You needed all of them fighting it out, characters getting killed off, someone to gain the upper hand and loose it, more than one ship to sink, someone reporting losses of men ships etc in the confusion of battle, instead I was delivered a chess board with just 2 kings on the board.
Another thing that’s getting to me recently is the metal scene, apparently I have to dress like the same individual to be part of this, its full of people who always go on about how they hate uniforms then exclude people for not wearing the scene uniform. I don’t see why I have to like a set list of bands kerrang says is "in" to be accepted. I don’t see how or why people base their friends on being total fanboys about the same shit, its fucking boring, your never gonna find anything new in the world, your kids are gonna ask you if you were part of the metal scene and your gonna get embarrassed about it because its taken you that long to realise how stupid you acted, while I can look back and say I had a great time because I kept my head out everyone else’s arse!
I consider myself a fan of many types of music but I love metal, however I don’t own a single mettalica of iron maiden album, why? Because my friends burnt a few on my computer and I don’t see the need to spend money on them, I prefer to watch iron maiden live for the simple fact that live they blow my mind but I cant concentrate on an album to appreciate it. But that’s no reason to shun someone as music isn’t all there is in the world, my relationship isn’t based on music, I am just lucky we both have an open mind to new sounds and a good cross over of things we can appreciate at the same time, I know I turn my nose up at some of gems cd's, and she cant get her head round some of my collection, but we can always find something we can both put up with.
I was flicking through metal hammer laughing my arse off at all the bands that are just trying to hard on their image, all the time proclaiming how they don’t care about image and its all about the music, the bands I like just have some fucking fun, turisas dress up as Vikings shouting about destroying other bands because its they think its hilarious and it is because you know they sound great and only do that for a laugh. Mastodon rock harder than most bands that dress up in black with spikes everywhere and all they do is turn up in jeans and a t-shirt and riff the fuck away.
I guess I am just tired of such an aesthetically fickle generation, it goes against the very reason I got in to this kind of music, now everyone judges you on the uniform you wear, the problem is its too late for the world and 80% of the time their right because people are too stupid to realise they aren’t wearing what they want and they are just fuelling the uniform. |

Well hello strangers, its been a long time now I think since I last graced the world with my mind, then again my mind scares me so I tone it down a bit.
This is my third week living in Cambridge after starting my new job with the university and I have to say I am loving it, so what if I get up early for work, its work I love. It’s taken me a long time to get qualified and then a get a job in archaeology but I have done it and its everything I wanted.
Right now on to things that are getting on my nerves, all the cyclists in Cambridge that don’t think traffic lights apply to them, no wonder all the cars in this place hate cyclists, yesterday I grabbed the seat post of a guy who was pushing his way through the cars and about to make a break through the red when he asked what the fuck I was doing I told him to “read the fucking highway code you retard”, he seemed quite put out actually. Nearly every cyclist here needs to get some bloody lights too, they are all shite ninjas.
The myspace online indicator, I was at work my computer was off, yet apparently I was online, this happens quite a lot, and I know my account hasn’t been hacked either so it’s yet another reason why the site is crap. Incidently I am going to do an overhaul update on it.
Thanks to Cyrus I know the Download headliners, Iron Maiden, Linken Park, and My Chemical Romance (spit)! Ok maiden I understand, liken park will be fine if they don’t bring JayZee, by mcr????? Why, just why? I have decided to start stockpiling my stool and building a catapult to get the fuckers of stage as quickly as possible, so there might be a little less room in my car, as it is its nearly full anyway as Cyrus, Marty, Gem, Matt, Tyler all have first dibs if they are going but I think Cyrus might be going from Birmingham on his own steam anyway.
My birthday was good, Marty made sure I had a good time and I didn’t realise I had that many friends in Cambridge already, Marty has all the credit for this I am sure, and he should.
Gem came up last weekend, it was nice and relaxing, we went out on Friday with Marty, I seemed to make friends with a barmaid that liked QOTSA so Marty exploited this to our advantage of getting drunk quickly for a lower price, it’s a long standing tactic of his but as it was all in the name of booze gem didn’t mind… I hope… as an experienced barman I know it’s more welcome just to make polite conversation with bar staff.
Anyway I am off to edit, so I would give it about an hour before my page is totally broken! |

Well Christmas is over so I spose that’s a good thing, tho I think at the moment my parents are trying to freeze me out my room!
I know a lot of people will want to know, and a larger amount will declare they don’t care, but me and Gem have split for the time being, kinda my fault really, I don’t know how but I feel like a basted so it must be.
Things just came to a head with us, we were constantly arguing, I didn’t really have much time at all, and we both have a lot to cope with and sort out in our lives at the moment. So we don’t destroy each other we are sorting these things out apart, when we have finally got ourselves in order we will have to take things from there, its just gonna take a bit of time.
I thought it would be best to put this up here and spell it out rather than let the rumour mills of Bury St Edmunds and Ipswich fuck things up, as they seem to be doing so well. I know I hate finding out my girlfriend “apparently” declared she could have pulled 6 people on Boxing Day. At least with all this in writing the how’s and why’s cant get twisted and hurt either of us.
I don’t know what the rules of this split are, but I am gonna go by my own of not doing anything that would hurt her feelings in any way.
Since it happened I have, watched 3 seasons of Black Books and drank a crate of beer, and today I have been playing Call of Duty flat out, so much so I have broken my mouse a little, it has a rattle and the wheel doesn’t work too well!
Right the next event is new years, going by how busy Christmas eve was I am in for a hard night working in the pub, will have to work out how it looks tomorrow night, not that I am gonna try and get out of it, I need the money, I just want to know what to prepare for. |

Well I know it seems to be a cliché to hate Christmas at the moment, there are a lot of people who are doing the whole bah humbug thing, to be honest I don’t see the point in that. I freely admit I don’t like Christmas, but I will still be wishing people a happy one, its just I always seem to hit a sever state of melancholy and apathy this time of year, and current things in my head aren’t helping.
Anyway yesterday really cheered me up as I got to see Marty and Cyrus, we went to see iron maiden on the last night of there tour which was huge!
My reviews, first band I cant remember the name, but the lead singer was hot. Trivium were on next… well it was fun working out who they were ripping off with each song, but they really need some original sounding material. And iron maiden, well… what can I say, they know how to put on a fucking show, tanks and 12ft eddies!!!
Anyway I have to work at the pub tonight, and have to wear a fairy outfit… what I would really like to do is get so hammered I see fairies but hey.
Cambridge Archaeology (the one attached to the uni,) want me to dig for them, I have said yes and am just waiting on a contract and for somewhere to call home. This is good as since I left uni I feel like I was wasting my life here in Suffolk.
Merry Christmas everyone, just ignore me if I am not smiling, it’s just my family gangs up on me in that better then thou way they do! |

Well the recent weeks have… well… passed I spose… the middle of last week saw me and Gem having another argument and has resulted in us having "some time apart". This is basically so we can get things we need to get sorted out done and so we don't get any more stressed out and split up!
Been working at the Cross in Woodbridge as a barman at weekends for a few weeks now… its work, it's not great but I can do it easily enough, one of the girls said I was a natural.
Once again in my life I have no idea what's going on in my head, this happens occasionally because I think to much and it end up getting crowded in there. I used to be able to vent this by getting drunk with Marty or Cyrus, resulting in a conversation that makes no sense but clears my head. Unfortunately I haven't been drunk for a month or so, I actually can't remember the last morning I woke up hungover so it must have been a while ago.
Yesterday me, Tyler and Cherilee, hauled the party van over to her mums and me and Tyler had a lot of fun getting a sofa and dining room table in the back. We had one of the most hilarious Sunday lunches I have ever had at Cherilee's aunt and uncles. Then we hauled the van back to Ipswich and me and Tyler had more fun getting everything in the house.
Yep that's it! |

Well I suppose some of you must be wondering what I have been up to since my last blog, whenever that was, I can’t quite remember… wow nearly a month ago, there isn’t actually any excuse for not blogging as I really haven’t been doing much for myself.
Since I last told the interweb about my life I have signed on three times, which is 3 times to many in my view, especially if they only give you £11.50 a weeks for trying harder than most to get a job. So all I have really done is try and get a job, I am loosing the will to care about what I do now, all I want is someone to pay me to get up in the mornings and turn up.
House sitting for Tyler ended up being eventful as it resulted in the eviction of his house mate, and while standing in my room at home unpacking said housemate accused me of doing it deliberately so me and gem could move in, its cheaper to live at home at the moment especially with zero income.
I view myself as an easy person to live with, I cook I clean, I am basically a house wife, but that didn’t stop arguments between me and Gem, I honestly don’t get it… how do women always find something to argue about, it must be their practice at multitasking as it makes me feel both bad and confused at exactly the same time.
19’s mini gathering was fun, for me Beale and Gem it was a mini road trip, tho those two in a car is like having kids.
Went to a seminar held by a company called CPL, so after the training weekend I could be being sold to a pub as its manager, but as this could still take a while to happen I am still not giving up on being an archaeologist, and am still looking for a job so I have one less thing to stress about.
The last week I have done nearly nothing for myself other than clean my bike and do some applications, well I went to zest but that doesn’t count as everyone else did as well. Tuesday Wednesday, I moved Gem out of Bury, Wednesday Thursday I was helping Tyler move Andy out of his house.
Today I am going to fill in a load more applications, with any luck they might speak to me when they get them! |

Well I have to say its been a really long time since I did any form of blog, and there hasn’t been much excuse for this as I haven’t been up to a huge amount that would take up so much of my time to stop me, actually I don’t know what I have been doing on the net lately, the rekordsrekords board apparently miss me, I have had Don and Lisa ask where I have been already.
Towards the end of September I finished my contract with Royal Mail, I have decided it is definitely not a career I would want to do for the rest of my life, I spose it wasn’t to bad for a summer job but it would have killed me and my life if I had tried to keep it any longer. So I am signing on, it was fun to do the ole ode to spaced of saying you last worked a few hours ago, and I do seem to be sending out about 4 CV’s a week. I just wish one of them would give me a fucking job.
My dad still isn’t happy with me, well he never is, when I was working as a postie he called me lazy for not having the energy to do anything in the afternoons, and now he just has a go all the time even tho I am trying to get a career, he seems to think all I am good for is postal work or McDonalds. Don’t even get Gem started on him, he has upset her enough, while my mum accepts I have a long term girlfriend that I chose and she has to accept, he doesn’t, next time they are in the same room I am gonna get her to Goth up to the max, my mum will see the funny side and more than likely ask where she got the outfit.
So this brings me to Gem, things seem to still be going well, I do seem to piss her off every time I am around her, and my tactic of ignoring the argument completely because there shouldn’t be one only seems to make things worse. But as she is still with me I must be doing something right. Actually its quite comforting that she has stuck around for so long so far. Usually there is a 2 month sell by date on my girlfriends after that they have undoubtedly cheated on me or buggered off for some reason. But Gem hasn’t and fingers crossed, she isn’t going to either.
Anyway I have no money, but as of next week I will be house sitting for Cherylee and Tyler while they are in Canada.
Can a museum or archaeology department please employ me! |
