Birthday blog!

So it seems that i should actually wait a bit to write my next blog but had a few things i wanted to say and as its my birthday i can do what i want (i know this cos my mum told me!!)

I'll start again with Liverpool FC (albeit much more brief than before) Gerrard, Torres and Benayoun all injured is shit! We had better win today against Stoke (slightly torn as i lived in Stoke a few years back and had a soft spot for Stoke City) or i will be forced to drive to Liverpool and beat Lucas around the head with Grandpa's sock*.

*An long army surplus sock full of old 2p coins...brutal!!

On a brighter note i have received an awesome present (because as i said it is my birthday) my amazing fiance has bought us tickets to see Pearl Jam in Belfast!!!! That would be part 2 of my holy trinity of seeing bands live i loved when i was younger complete (saw Faith no More at Download festival last year, seeing Pearl Jam this year so just have to wait for Rage against the Machine to reform and play some gigs).

I saw that Thomas Cook advert with Jamie and Louise Redknapp this morning, those two love themselves quite a lot, bearing in mind Jamie is a former LFC legend and Louise is, well no other word for it........very hot!! I find myself reaching for either the remote or a bucket when i see it, I didn't realise just how many scenarios occur that require Jamie not to have a shirt on!

After listening to The Podcast Four's first podcast about (amongst a lot of other things) censorship i found myself thinking more about a story i heard involving a friend of a friend (no names will be used!) who got home very drunk one night and proceeded to go on Facebook and send a private message to the first black girl he found (i won't repeat what the message said but needless to say it was in very bad taste!) this was a while back and to my knowledge has had no comeback at all about it, this leads me to another friend of a friend who put his Xbox live Gamertag (for those who don't know that is your online identity when playing on Xbox live) as "happynigga", now this guy is black (not that Xbox admin knew this) and he was forced by Microsoft to change his name, however shortly after this i was playing cod (again not the fish!) and come up against somebody with a name far worse than my friends friend, so i asked him about it to which he replied "dunno, funny though ain't it!?".........his gamertag was "IHAVEMADDIE!!" Just to round up "happynigga" bad "IHAVEMADDIE!!" good....well done Microsoft!

If anyone reading cares then the band i play guitar for (Cyra Elia, funny name, great band!) are hosting an open mic night at The Gresham, Mostyn street, Llandudno, so come along anyone that wants to and if you can play an instrument or sing then have a go, its on every other Thursday and the next one is Thursday 21st Jan.

Seeing as its my birthday (mentioned 3 times in one blog!) i will finish now as i am being taken to lunch by my mother, i will leave you to ponder this very important question, If they have gay nights at regular heterosexual bars.....do they have straight nights at gay bars?

Peace,

Marcus.

P.s did i mention that today is my birthday!!??
