Arrived

So i got back to the land on Eng yesterday from the U S of A. Flight was ok, i did not get upgraded like i did on my way there, departure time was half an hour later but we made up for time because we had a tail wind. i have my flight ritual which starts with me getting onto the plane of course and then getting to my seat. I then proceed to pick up the inflight entertainment guide and depending on the flight time i then choose the number of films i am going to watch, in my case it was a six hour flight so that makes bout 3 or 4 films and music channels. On this flight i chose my movies in order of preference, only to find that they had not changed the movies to 'flying to UK'!! i was annoyed becuase that then made me have to flick through that set of movies and quickly pick movies i had not read reviews on. So i chose and was pleased because they had Nacho libre (which comes highly recommended by my brother). I settled in my seat read to watch the movie only to find that the channel did not work properly and kept flickering!!!! Now come on British Airways i know i am only flying world traveller (economy) but you could at least give me my moneys worth!!! I ended up watching Wah Wah and listening to the Futureheads new album and the new Snow Patrol albums (really good) for the rest of the flight!!!

Turbulence was a little rough over the Atlantic but i made it through after a couple of white knuckle moments (in my case would be brown knuckle i guess?) Undoubtably the best part of the flight was when we literally flew into daybreak. I unfortunately did not have my camera but found this image that is identitcal to what i saw. It just made me appreciate the earth we live in, being able to see and breathe life and the time i had just spent with my brother, his wife jen and my little 5 month old nephew 'mr chu'

chunes!

Is it just me or does itunes 7 make my music seems better and more exciting to listen to. I find myself wanting to open up the new version on itunes and listen to my beats over and over again. It could just because it's a new version, that looks tighter and cleaner, because i know it's the same music i had last week when it was the old version! Whatever the reason. two thumbs up to Apple for the new design!

music week-all this week

morning music listener!! Just after my last post, i decided to make this week, music week! So all my post this week will be me sharing my favouritist artists and some not so good. Aswell as all things related to music!! Woo hoo!!

Here he is Mr Cool himself, with a capital C. Mr Ben Harper at bonnaroo 2006. It's a really good acoustic song and the guy playing the djembe is Leon Mobley (awesome!). It is just a badass song with really good lyrics and the sound is awesome!! I've watched this video many a time and i have another version in my itunes library where he sings with Jack Johnson!

Shweet music!

Have to say i'm over excited with his new cd. Who you may ask? John Mayer of course!! It is awesome.



A treat for your ears and eyes, here's a live performance he did earlier on this month on NBC! You can't help but smile when he sings.......well i can't!

Just a thought......

Right so i was told to act 22 by my brother in a conversation slash slight disagreement. To cut a long story short he told me to go out and do stuff by myself in dc. Think he wanted me to explore! Anyway it got me thinking. How does a person act their age? I understand that you can act imature and realise that, but when all you are is living your life as a 22 year old. Are you not being 22? I think one can only say act 22, 33, 18, or whatever you are once you have been that age because you have learnt and realised what you should and should not have done!

Funny

they always crack me up!!

Learning

So here it is another week, I have 9 days left in the US of A (I will post a summary of the summer run down), till I get back to the UK and back to getting my brain into action again. Over the weekend I went to a barbecue and tried root beer. Never had before so opened the bottle and had a swig. Not too sure whether I like or not, the jury is still out on that one. I sipped about 3/4 of the bottle, you would think that I liked it if I had nearly the whole bottle! But every time I had a sip I tried to work out the flavours and whether I liked it and before I knew it 3/4 of the stuff had gone. I think it tastes too much like a perfumed drink, rather than a refreshing drink.

www.pandora.com probably my best find of the week! What is it? Free web radio, but its a little more special than that. What you do is type in your preferred music artist and the station chooses other artists that are similar to yours and all you do is sit back and listen. It will play 5 songs or so then ask you to sign up which is free. One snag though, it requires a US zip code but we all watched Beverly Hills right?! :-)

Still trying to get blog to look like I want to, think I might have to get off blogger so I'm not limited. So to any blogging veternas out there who don't mind giving me advice, it's more then welcome.

The lucky and the not so lucky!

Man U 1 - 0 Tottenham

Blogging Expeditions!!!!

Right so here is where it all starts......for me and my blogging expeditions! This will be my attempt at keeping a digital diary, where I will post my thoughts, to which I have to add a WARNING to because some might be a bit random! But I shall strive to provide interesting reading for y'all!! You may be wondering who I am as you read my blog in which case I want to say hi. I'm a 22 year old graphic design student, trying to figure out who I am and what life is all about! My post may be regular and at times a little sporadic. Enjoy and thanks for reading!!
