Snow

Yeah i wake up walk out side my house and see that everything is covered in a blanket of snow, my face dropped and the words that uttered from my mouth where "Where the hell did this come from" so i thought i should document this and i took a picture in my lane.

I would like to clarify yes i do leave my house when its dark, and i was the fist person to step foot in my lane as you can see the one set of footprints being mine. I do love the sound snow makes when you step on it, i was just walking with a very smug look on my face from the sound.

Well when i got down town i started to wait for the ferry then suddenly Sian appears and says "Yeah the buses aren't running snow day?" my response "Oh hell yeah" so we trotted off to her house for her to get changed into warmer clothes, then we strole to my house so i can get some warmer clothes which where just a pair of gloves. When then walked to Beth's house so we could get her out and have a snowball fight we did so and played in the snow for like 20 minutes became cold then went back to Beth's and spent the rest of the day there watching films and what not. All in all was a good day.

2009 A Year In My Life.

So seeing as everyone else was doing this style of blog i guess i would join in with it, just so i could fit in and be accepted by you guys.

January: Now this month, the first of the year like most was pretty boring you know just Dartmouth Community College doing my last year of A-levels and playing American football/Basketball at the end of the day on a Monday simpler times funnier times as it was this was pretty much routine. But then one day a well known Mr. James Wade said to me come to my gig thing in brixham the RU and i was like sure man sounds good, i get there being all VIP like i have to ask for my ticket like a proper badass and its in a envelope, Damn i'm awesome. Anyway yeah i found a good friend now who goes by the name James Strutt and sat with him and some of the guys from Churston i met at Wade's Birthday, kinda out of my element this is where i also met Sophie Duffield's Girlfriend. But i watched the gig with all the bands and had an awesome time then came time to see Wade and Alan at the end of the show and i was like yeah you guys kicked ass and stuff, then came a turning point in my life from then on as from no where come Duffield and says "So you must be Ricky i've heard a lot about you, I'm Duffield" Instant friendship was formed, while walking back to Wade's Graham did the typical Graham thing and said to me "Hey chap come back here and talk to me" so me and him got talking and another friendship was born. I'm glad i got to meet these 2 guys they have shaped me to what i am today.

February:What happened in this month i actually don't remember i think i just started hanging with Battery Powered more and became better friends with everyone.

March:Now this month is interesting as this started all of this as Karys talked me into starting a blog i was reluctant and first but then look where i am now, I think this month just had more BP Gigs and stuff which was awesome Flanders beer being consumed and stuff.

April: Damn i really have no clue what happened this month, nothing good then haha.

May: Ah yes the one and only Jeff Fest (AKA Karys' Birthday) where lots of fun was had and i got to school the fools on how good my American Football skills are, yup thats right i'm to good at sports. More good times with Giging and what not.

June:Was this just more Gig's i think it was haha.

July:More gig's again, but didn't i help out with the Brixham Fun Day and have my chance at being in Battery Powered and pretty much sucked ass.

August: My favourite month as it has my birthday in it And i turned 18 jesus old man now, and i started working at Woodlands and made some new friends For example Pippa.

September: no least favourite month as in this month was the last BP Gig which was very sad but there is a recording from it so i can always listen when i want to remember all the good times, and then the formation of Ricky and the Pigeons yeahh, with a few issues to deal with which where resolved. Then my not favourite memory Alan, Duffield and Karys Leaving for Uni, sad sad times they where missed a lot. And then i started College oh yay

November: The month which i made a big step in my life and cut my long hair of 4 years and completely changed my style from wearing loads of black to colours and then made friends on my course so i wasn't as lonely, Ricky and the Pigeons was going really good getting a lot done was amazing. Went up to Bath to see Duffield and he introduced me to Phil and Ollie both really cool dudes, such a shame that me and Phil discovered we had something in common on the last day, what a drag.

October: This month sucked ass, thats pretty much it.

December: Started good we where all back together again loving life was awesome, Orange gave me free texts for the whole month i was like hell yeah and went insane. Then we lost Danni from Ricky and the Pigeons which is shit, and we are currently looking for a new singer, and well christmas was as usual the same, just working like normal.

And that is my year pretty much, as you can see January was my most eventful month.

Friends

Thinking to myself i have come up with a list of friendship groups which are always changing, it starts from when you are young and just progresses, so let me care to explain.

Primary school now these friend you will keep for a couple of years possibly longer depending on whether they go to the same secondary school as you, But the meaningfulness of these friendships are pretty shallow, But can be long lasting if you keep in touch.

Secondary school these friends can become more stronger the older you get, as you will get a better understanding of things, so the meaningfulness of these friendships can be pretty high and you are likely to stay in touch.

A-level/College these friendship are pretty much the same as a secondary school, so i wont go into much more detail but then you will keep some of these friends but not a lot of them.

University now this is being forced into a new place and meeting a lot of new people, now you are living with these people for a couple of years and you can get pretty close to these friends and you can stay in touch with these friends depending on what they are doing, so these can be pretty meaningful.

And the last stage of this friendship cycle

Work Friends, these are the people you are more than likely going to spend the rest of your life with so these people you gain a good connection with and can be pretty meaningful seeing as you'll be seeing these people day in and day out.

But now in the age of the future technology for example Facebook, you can keep in touch with all the people that you have met throughout your life and still keep in touch this new technology have changed the dynamic of friendship for the world, its a bit crazy if you think about it enough.

I mean i did, but then i have way to much spare time on my hands.

2010

Only having 2 year left to live apparently i think i should make the most of this as i will die when i'm 20 damn only 2 decades old that really that old.

Question which i would like to ask who ever decided it was called the Noughties, because i would personally like to find that person and punch them in the face, i mean seriously was a stupid name for a decade of time could we sound any more like simpletons, people are gonna look back i think that the past decade was filled with lots of crime and what not, i think a decade should be called what reflected in that year, so pretty much terrorism, war, death and politics unlike any other year or decade but still the Noughties c'mon thats just really retarded.

Here's hoping that this decade will be named something better so when i'm 29 *shocked face* i can think yeah that is actually a good name for the past decade.

Well i guess i will have to wait 10 years to find out this new name of the decade.

Random Birds In My Garden

Well i was in my kitchen cooking crumpets as you do, when i look out my window and see none other than a PHEASANT, I was like no way that's amazing but more or less like what are you doing here pheasant you don't belong in my garden your not even a local bird, so in this moment of amazement i took a photo, and well needless to say its a terrible photo but still a photo none the less.

So yeah see if you can actually see it, wow that picture is filled with fail haha. Well honestly i think it was actually going for this type of look.

I'd like to believe all birds aspire to be eagles which can dance and come out with witty slogans.

Irish?

Commenting on one of Duffield old blog posts here.

Hahahahaha, The potato famine was hilarious.

Damn makes me laugh all the time.

Childrens Slides Not Meant For Adults

Well on facebook i mate a status saying my shoulder still hurts from the slide i went down at work, well what facebook doesn't know is i also made a video of this adventure on my phone, sadly though it is really bad quality and very dark so you can't see anything so all it really is, is just dark and me screaming in pain and the start of the video you see Henry my partner in crime who told me about this wonderful idea.

Also there is a lot of static build up when you go down(you scientists will understand why) so most of the pain i get is from electric shocks which is rather uncool.
