New Adventures 18th - 25th

Well, it's been an eventful week in my life, but it may be a little boring for you to read, but I'm posting anyway. So, here we go...

Friday

Friday night was a rather convoluted affair, starting off with us going to Canal Walk, then back to Pierre's flat, where we played some PS3 / FIFA 09 4 player and just hung out a little, and then back to Canal to pick Kelly up before going through to ROAR to see some metal.

It was a good night, seeing two great bands named "Revenge by Dawn" and "Reverse the Sands". Revenge by Dawn were my favorites, being more of a death metal band influenced by In Flames and Dimmu Borgir. Their band consisted of two brilliant guitarists, who had awesome tone [probably mostly because of their awesome amps and guitars], and these two guys really drove the band playing intricate lead pieces and some great solos. The drummer was pretty good, playing some challenging rhythms, and intricate double kick fills, at high speed with minimal problems. And their bassist was good, keeping up with the guitars and helping the drums to really push the songs. There was however one problem: Vocalist. His scream suited the songs, but he came across as a bit of a cock, and screamed at the crowd all the time for no apparent reason.

All in all, I really enjoyed them, and would like to see them again and meet the guys. After that there was another band on who I though were mediocre, and then after Donovan hand torn a large hole in his pants across his butt, we headed home.


Saturday

I didn't feel so great, and slept most of the day, and then played dota in the evening. Then I watched some or other old James Bond, before turning in at about 3 or 4am. Fairly boring.


Sunday

Pretty much the same as Saturday actually, played some dota, watched another James Bond, watched some football, went to sleep. Oh, and I started planning the party I was going to have on Friday. I was pretty excited about the party, but things went pear shaped the following day.


Monday

As you may have read, my parents had some or other objection to the party, and so they gave me an ultimatum, which I didn't respond well to. I decided to call them out on the threat, and things got a bit ugly. Then after that, I found out that my uncle's flight was arriving at the same time and so I couldn't have the party at all in the end.


Tuesday

I was in a foul mood all day, and I was wrong which made matters worse. Then I apologised to my parents and my brother and got over myself, and ended up just playing dota with some friends again.

Wendesday

Got my CV together, and sent it off to a place where I was going to 'capture data'. I had a feeling that it was a little dodge but decided to find out. In the end it was dodge, but I didn't lose anything, so I'm not worried. Went to visit a good friend of mine, Val, that evening and we just had some coffee and relaxed.

Thursday

For some reason it was a really rough day today. Found out that I could have had the party after all, and that my gran was just confused. That pissed me off. Then I found out that the job which looked like it was dodge, was in fact dodge, and it kind of bummed me out. Then I cleaned my car's windows and pumped up the tyre [there's something wrong with it, like a puncture or something] and decided to get some sleep before going to visit my psychologist. I went to sleep and slept through 3 alarms, and ended up missing the appointment, losing R500. Not cool. This evening I had some awful news about two of my great friends, so that's not cool either.

All in all, not a great week, but we'll see what happens.
