So today i spent over 4 hours trying to find 3 journals for this goddam physiology assignment! at least im thankful i didnt have the wrong brief unlike one of my coursemates who already wrote 1000 words on Caffeine instead of Steroids - gutted!
Will start it in a bit..

So winter is pretty much here.. although lets be honest, it never really leaves us hah
Need to get me some sexy winter gear !
I.E.


And im definetly going to get me a piece of this sexy balaclavaness when i get back home. Will make my cycle journey into town alot warmer - plus maybe i could hit some banks on the way down just for kicks.


Before you say it. Yes its from Modern Warfare 2. But they just look so dam badass!

Offtopic, im trying to build a liquid dubstep collection. Currently im exploring every nook and cranny of the dubstep scene in order to build a collection so that when i get some cdj's (no idea how soon this might be) i will be able to have a nice mix with a different tempo of music which i've wanted for a while instead of having to purchase more vinyl at 6 quid a pop. Not to mention lugging it back and forth from home to uni has been pretty annoying. Alternatively I might just invest in Serato which allows me to simulate mp3 files using 2 blank vinyl for my decks. Although with a 500 quid price tag, it could be a while saving to get that beast.
Without even mentioning i dont have a laptop haha..

2 quick examples of liquid dubstep tunes which i've only really decided are ideal are by an artist called Jakwob (thanks to Jow-seph-pheen for the introduction!)
Originally i couldn't actually find a download link for this tune but after requesting a copy from the man himself, he directed me towards a link here so if any of you are interested in getting a free copy, he's been nice enough to distribute a high quality 320kbps to the public for free! Legend!

Ellie Goulding - Starry eyed (Jakwob remix) 320kbps

Alternatively just stream it here

'Starry Eyed' i have been rinsing on my mp3 player all summer. Such a deep and soulful bassline that progresses constantly throughout the song with a beautiful blend of vocals from Ellie. Cycling down the beach in summer I could listen to that on repeat no problems but i fear over-repition could make me sick of it. I'll limit myself to 5 plays a week. OK 6. 6 is fine.
One last tune i thought id mention is this newly discovered one i found from Jakwob - its a remix of Jump the Gun by X & Hell. pretty sexy i must say. But dont take my word for it..


Unfortunately as there is no liquid dubstep subsection currently involved within the scene, im worried this could make it a bit of a lengthy process but i'll get a nice selection eventually. Just need to keep digging!

Right time to do some work..

Oh almost forgot to mention - on tonights specials board we have Roast Lamb Shoulder and winter vegetables with Mint and roast potatoes. Yuuuuuum. Will deliver the verdict in the next post! Maybe even a picture if i feel it lives up to a decent standard.
Much love

SO! today was quite active in terms of exercise.. again. I really should cut down on doing too much too fast - injury owns me today.
After having an awesome 2 hour Korfball Tournament in which we overcame our opponents 13-0 in the first match and 15-2 in the second, i get home for an hours rest and then straight back to the pitch for Hockey training.

What is Korfball you say?
Right. here goes.


Korfball is popular in Netherlands and Belgium especially. Chances are - without you being at uni and having a uni team (as is the case with a lot of other people ive asked) or me telling you =D you wouldnt have even heard of it!
It consists of 8 players per team with 4 girls and 4 guys.
The court (full size basketball court) is divided into half with 2 guys and 2 girls on each side. Still with me?
The aim of the game is to get your attacking side to score in the korf (basket) whilst every 2 goals onceded (for any team) results in a change of sides. Thus switching roles for both sides i.e. attacking or defending.

Whilst many people end up judging a book by its cover (when i end up describing it sort of like netball.. which is probably my fault haha) it is actually a very skillful/fast paced and physically demanding sport. Your reaction times will be tested and you will really need to broaden your perceptions in order to see/predict what is about to go down!
Check out a short video to see what i mean.


After having looked up more Korfall after a few practices I really enjoyed the skill of this guy Leon Simmons. His awareness and reflexes are bare none !

Anyway. Enough of my obsession for my newly acquired sport.
I'll get back to White Chicks and hit the hay as tommorow is another day and I shall be reporting more randomness soon!

"Once you go black, you gon' need a wheelchair!" hahahaha

Goodnight y'all!

Right well this will be my first blog entry ever! I used to keep a diary but paper is such expense these days no? Hurray for the interwebz!

I aimed to transfer my diary and create a blog as i hit uni, but ended up amidst all the spontaneous events as you do, and kept putting it off and off. But here i am finally!

My aim with this blog will mainly focus around expressing my opinion on various bits and bobs which i stumble on, be it via the internet or other sources, that i find interesting/funny/out of the ordinary/exciting/appealing.

I guess the majority of my blog will focus in and around the music scene seeing as thats something that really interests me at the moment (Drum and Bass/Techno/Electronica/Dubstep) and just generally the grimier side of things as thats my sort of spectrum these days =)

I hope you too find the random matter i find interesting, and if you care to follow me and make some comments i would much oblige your insight and opinion along the way!

Much love to you all!
