Hockneys Journal

Ever get the feeling that you are a complete and utter knob?

Cos I do

Fucks sake

I dunno what to think

Well.

In a perfect world, I would buy an island. Maybe somewhere near South America, Costa Rica, mebs. And build a big zoo. For dinosaurs ! ! ! And it would all go perfectly, and nothing would happen. It wouldnt be like some movie that I happen to love.

And all the kids would come and see the dinosaurs, and be all "wow mummy!" And I would wander around in my suit looking at them all being happy seeing the things they think about at night, and I'd be like "ahhhh, money well spent"

And I would also build the technology to bring back Robert Muldoon from the dead, so he can be my game keeper.

And it would be cheap entry too, so anyone can come.




I hope someone does this someday, I wanna see a real life dinosaur ! ! !!

Sooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Yo yo yo y'all.

Another riveting entry in my Livejournal. Lucky yous eh :)

Friday. Newcastle, seeing the Misfits :D I can't wait. Should be fun (drunk) times. I'm gonna dance like an idiot =D

Not much else has been going on really. Turns out I have been at work, then comng home and doing jack shit, seeing people from time to time, then repeat. After 5 or so months of it, I'm finally getting bored of it. Good job I start uni on Monday then :)

Me and Bud are hitting the Freshers Fair tomorrow, get some free stuff :) And I need to see Big Vin about changing my course from Media Production to TV Production. Cos radio and journalism suck tail.

Want to see Katie more than I do :(

Bored as fuck ,the weather has been proper shit, which not only means I can't do anything, it also means frogs come out agrhh!

And I think I'm skint again :(

Bad day haha. well actually, it's been OK, work went fine, then came home and sat on the xbox for a few hours. See what I mean about doing the same thing over and over.

Anyways, I'm off now. Not off the computer. Just dunno what else to type.

Byesiessssssssssss

Finally

Finally, after waiting 4 weeks, I will have money to spend. Although after my calculations, it will not be a lot. With car tax, and phone bills, and Misfits tickets, and Sum 41 tickets, and nights out, I am still gonna be a skint little wabbit.

And also, after 4 weeks (minus last Thursday) I get to have alcohol. And boy, do I intend on having a lot of the bastard =D Aruba, Fridays, better be good, might be shit. So if it is, I will run on down to the place where everybody knows your name.

And the Katie and Dave family has grown again. There is a hamster, a real live one, called Bubbles. And it is a tad awesome :D I like our family.

I might go to sleep now. Damn, I want alcohol :(

Byesiess

OK I asked first, probably!

cfeuwbgfsd bjsd

Fucks sake.

Bored, which is making me pissed off, and also upset hahahaha :S

Im weird

I am going to use Livejournal more.

Fact.com

So basically its an area of the interweb for me to jabber on about the things that make my little geek brain spark a little bit. Maybe rant a little bit when angry, maybe come cry on the shoulder of the world wide web when I'm sad. I dunno....suppose shall find out when it comes.

But yeah, my Livejournal is back in business, baby!

Only I have nothing to say now, because I'm very confuzzled, slightly upset, and also slightly happy.

Yeah, for people who read this, my mind is a very confusing place...

Hello LiveJournal.

Haven't done this for a while, and I currently have a 2 hour break til my next lecture, with nothing to do, so thought I would update this.

Nowt new has happened in my life really, same old shit happening every week.

Went to Silks on Saturday, was actually better than I thought it would be. Mainly because they played Taking Back Sunday twice, The All-American Rejects...and other stuff that I like that I can't remember due to the many many aftershock shots I did. Unfortunately we left at bout 2ish (I think) during the middle of Just A Day by Feeder... Which sucked cos I like that song...and I was singing it for the next few days. Rang Debbi From Swindon on the way home, talked to her drunkenly about Brand New, and how I can't understand her southern accent, and she can't understand my northern accent. Good times.

On the subject of Brand New, The Devil And God Are Raging Inside Me came out today, I saw it in HMV, it's all pretty in a cardboard case thingy. I also had a quick browse through the random music magazines to see if there were any reviews. Only one, and it was in NME.....and it got 8 out of 10, which made me happy, cos it deserves reviews like that. Because it is ace. But no doubt everyone will write it off cos its by an "emo" band. NME liked it! That's not an Emo magazine! Fuck You!

Anywhos, bored shitless. Pub tonight, alcohol = YAY! I think I'm becoming like borderline alcoholic. Ahhhh well. I'll survive =)

Guess what.

Jeremy Enigk is supporting Brand New.

Jeremy Enigk.

The ex lead singer of Sunny Day Real Estate, and now lead singer of The Fire Theft, and his own solo stuff too.

He is gonna be performing before Brand New. I really am truly truly excited about February 8th now, I means I was when I didnt know the support acts, but its Jeremy Fucking Enigk.

No one knows who he is, admittedly, but he is a bit awesome.

So yeah, be happy for me, cos I am.

=)

A woman had to be rescued from the roof of a burning building today after a row of shops and a nursery caught fire on Teesside.

Fire crews were called just before 3am after reports the shops at The Ings, Redcar, were alight.

Firefighters arrived to find a woman, believed to be in her 20s, on the roof after escaping from a flat above the shops.

"She had got out of the window on to the roof," said Cleveland Fire Brigade watch manager John Yoxall.

"We had to pitch a ladder and one of the firefighters went up and walked her down the ladder."

Four fire engines from Redcar and Grangetown and a hydraulic platform from Middlesbrough were needed to tackle the flames.

Mr Yoxall said: "All the shops are linked and the fire was through the roof. All the shops have been affected, quite a few of them severely."

Today, shocked owners of businesses at the Embleton Court shops, including Bell's Stores, two takeaways and a hairdresser gazed in disbelief at the wreckage.

Outside the Rosedene Nursery, director Clare McCullagh and staff were hurriedly arranging alternative places at their other nurseries in Marske and Saltburn for the 48 children due to attend Redcar today.

Gazing at the gutted building, she said: "It's terrible - we've got a big commitment to look after a lot of children.

"You look at the devastation caused and the fact it can happen so quickly and furiously.

"We've built the business up over 10 years from nothing and now this. We'll want to stay here though."

Police are investigating how the fire started and are treating it as suspicious, although no cause had been established at the time of going to press.

Malcolm Thompson, whose daughter Zabeena runs the Turner's Mill Fish Shop, said the one consolation was that no one was hurt.

"The planning people got this one right by isolating it from houses, yet making it central to the estate.

"That's the only good thing - the girl got out safely and no other houses were affected.

"Our shop is devastated. The roof has come in, debris has gone through the range and the new equipment we've only just bought has gone. It will have to be completely redone.

"It will be a massive loss to the community. It's the busiest little shopping area I know of - on a teatime, you can't get parked in here.

"All those people will now have to go somewhere else for their provisions. It will be a huge inconvenience."

Julie Winter, whose Hair Over Heels hair salon has operated at Embleton Court for eight years, heard of the fire in a phone call from one of her five staff.

She said: "From what she told me, I was expecting the worst and that's what it is like. It's about how we are going to cope now."





Im sad :(

I am a bit drunk.

I am also not wild or exciting or charsimatic...appparently. Then words kinda hurt me a bit, speshully when you have 5 hours fo work top think of their meaning.

I figure if someone is not exciting they are boring.

Am I boring????

Tis a bit bothering that the girl who I like who seems to like me back actually finds me boring and stuff.

I lost my glasses at Sumo, fuck knows when, I just realiseds that I was blind, and then I cried a bi cos I had a bad day and losing my geggs was just the tip of the iceberg.

And then Jon found them, which was a bit ace. Barman gave them to Jon, which is a bit cool.

I dont even know what charisma means haha.

Mars Bars when drunk rock.

My friends rock.

Tom rocks Carrie ;)

I rock no one :(

Drunk, alone, and sad, read mty profile, it says what kind of girlfriend I want.

Why is it that I can never seem to be happy. Why am I so damned unlucky with girls, and why do iI tend to fuck thing up so much.

I proper wish I was someone else.

Someone who got the girl.

Someone who lived happy ever after.

But I have tio deal with everyone else being happy and me bein not happy.

Its a bit shit, to be honest, or TBH as the kidz say.

As if I text my tutor, who is like some guy in his 50s who writes books on spies (Like Father Like Son: A Dynasty Of Spies) telling him to come to Sumo.

I want love. What the hell is sop wrong with nice guys that they are just left for dead by the girls.

Wsa thinking at work, I realised the thing that makes liking someone hurt the most.

The fact that I like them, and I think all these "what ifs" and "maybes" like maybe we ciould be perfect together and what if we were great with each other,

And its them what ifs and maybes that make things hurt the most, cos I think of all the great things and get it all built up, then it gets ripped from you like some sort of Terminator heart pulling out thin.

Thats what kills me the most

The what ifs.

The maybes.

Ive gone on a bit ha..ha.

Alcohoo, thats my excuse, I apologise if |I have offended anyone or whatevre.

Blame the vodka and coke at Sumo.


Just, where in the rule book is there somethng saying "Nahm, avoud then nice guys, they are shit, just go for the guys with big boots who break the klaw constantly, and who are a bit shit, cos they dont cvare bout societys rules, tjey dont care bout maybe kissing some other girl when they are drunk, and they dont eally care about you. Cos you are just a pair of legs, thats all you are. to all them "not nice" guys you are a fanny, thats all.

hey dont follow their heart, they foollow their dick. ANd it sucks, cos usnice guys ge3t jack shit, and its a bit balls.

We sdo nothing wrong, we wouldnt dream of cheating on yu in a million years, and we love you with al ourn hearts. And that clearly aint enough, because we are "boring" and "shit" amd "squares"/ We care anbout you. probably more than anyon else cud, but we are too nice to be boyfriends.

And itr leaves you thinking "will I be alone forever" cos it sure as fuck seems thjat way. IM too nice, im not filthy or dirty or mrude, im just David J Hockney, a nice guy in a not-so-nice world,. who cant seem to fit in and find happiness whe nall the world is happy, and who cant seem to find someone who wants him, becauseim too nice.

Its vexed me a bit .

What are us guys meant to do, us nice guys who wouldnt hurt you or make you cry, because if they did then they would hate themselves, and make themselves cry, because the girls mean the world to them. What about us guys who feel they are gonna end up being 40 and still aint had a proper meaningful rellationship.

What about the virgins.

What about the shy geezers who cant help being shy.

What about the guys who dont fit in,. who arent "cool" or " wild" or nothing like that, who just be themselfs in front of you, instead of forming some sort of crazy cult where guys have to ask girls to "suck my dick" before the girls like them, or have to have poked at least one chick before they can go all the way.

Where do they stand in life's crazy crazy cycle, where abouts do they lay?

Guys who lay crying at night because they are worried you dnt like them no more, worried trhat they may have changed and them changes may have made you not like them anymore.

Bcasuse they have feeklings too, contrary to popular belief, and they also need love. And maybe they act happy, maybe thats a cover up so they dont hurt theirn friends by showing how much they are hurting inside, and how much feeling alone is killi ng them.

Thats my rant over, I hope you enmjopyed it, and I hope that those guys and gals who read it let it sink in, and know that everyne is human, everyone needs love, and only certain peopledont have love, and feel alone, truly alone. People like me.

Alcohol makes me a bit philosophical,.

So yeah, thats it. Game over man, game over. if you can read this and see what im trying to get at, congratualtions. If not, just ignore the drunken ramblings of a bitter singleton who is a bit down.

Just ignore me, uys and gals.

Cos im not worth it, im too nice for you girls. so who gicves a shit, as the song goes, "Nice guys finish last". And that is too bloody true it is unbeliavable

My first livejournal post as an apparent "adult".










Fuck that! Im still the same immature guy you all know and love ^_^

I found out today that I was born to the sweet sounds of Phil Collins singing In The Air Tonight

How good is that!
Anyways, cya all tonites xxxxxxx

Lollerzzzz.

Heyheyhey people, tis only me. Just thought I'd update cos Im bored and stuff. And Im slightly hyper hehe Yeah! My birthday Friday, everyone be there. Although I think Ive told everyone on Livejournal anyways :S Well if I havent, The Wacky, bout7.30 ish, then Sumo after. Cos I'm Kool.

And I cant wait for it. Ross and Greg have been getting me all hyper bout it, telling me how good Sumo is and all. So now I cant wait. Then....on the Saturday, I am randomly going to Rosses cousins wedding reception. I kinda invited myself lol :P and he said I could come, and Im sure someone said he was on about hitting Empire after, which shall be cool. Then on Sunday IM going out for a meal with the family at The Wacky again, all are welcome, but I need to find out soon cos we need to book it :D#

And and and.....Dashboard Confessionals new album came out yesterday, so me and Ross trekked down Redcar town to buy it. It was weird in music zone though, cos they had the usual DC card thingery with the other albums in the Metal section, but the new album in the main CD section. Which was weird. But we found em, there was 2 copies, and we both purchased them silmetaneously (or however you spell it). And that was cool. But I have to wait til Friday to get it because its a birthday present apparently. Although I have it on my computer anyways lollerzzzz

Steel Gala was on sunday, twas fun fun fun. Despite the fact I nearly took out a beardy guy by doing a backwards roley poley, in an attempt to better the gymnastics that were going on in the main arena. ANd I also ate a sugar dummy thingery that looked like something suspicious. And Ross crowned me "The Most Embarrassing Person He Knows"..... YEAH

Driving test today, slightly nervous about it, which is weirdy cos I wasnt about the one that I showed up late for, so dunno lol. I hope I pass, but I just wanna get it out of the way so I am on the home straight to my birthday ^_^. So wish me luck for that people, I shall let you all know how i do.

Righjt im offskis now anywhos, I need food :D

And on that bombshell, it is David. Updating his livejournal. My god! I have been ignoring the LJ lately, so thought I would update it. And cos I have a few things to brag about.

We are currently on the eve of the best free music festival in the north east, and maybe even the world. MML (for all us scenesters who use acronyms) is tomorrow. And I for one am incredibly exprited about it. Slightly hyper, so all you guys who are gonna be meeting us or whatever, or happen to see me at the train station before I have alcohol, I will be basically drunk on hyperness. If that makes sense.

Until we hit the TFM stage, and get sauced.

So yer, musak live. Be there or be square.

Next thing to brag about. New Dashboard songs. I have already heard the beautifulness that is So Long, So Long. And I have sang along many a time to Don't Wait (which, incidently is their new single, video on my myspazz page, checkit). ut I now have the aural pleasure that is "The Secret's In The Telling", and it's brilliant. It manages to be sweet, yet powerful. And I am addicted. That is what the lyrics at the top of my entry are. Now before you go dismissing it as "stupid emo crap" MARK, I suggest you go listen. Because if you like heartlfelt lyrics that are sung from the heart not the wallet, then you should like it. And if you don't you can just jump off a bridge and die. (bit of a San Andreas reference there Kerri. Radio X. Hardcoreeeeeeeee) Here be the link, go listen people.

I urge you. URGE YOU! URGE!

Anywhos, downsides. Work for 5 hours today. I have 5 hours of stacking toilet roll between me and funfunfun tomorrow. Which is slightly ghey, but I'll survive. I hope. And I'm tired, after a Leos sesh, and probably my last underage Leos sesh, since it is my birthday in 2 weeks and 6 days. And I am uuber exprited bout that too.

Wow, rambled on a bit. Well, I shall be off now. Need to gel the hair and have dinner before I go do some work for the establishment. But I'm secretly a spy, I don't work for the man, and I ain't no narc. DOWN TO THE ESTABLISHMENT! Eeeee it's like 1984 (the novel).

See you all tomorrow gents and ladies. Give me a ring if you fancy meeting us up for a bit or whathoover.

It ain't no lie, baby bye bye bye
