Its been a while...

As you can see by the title, it's been nearly 3 months since I did one of these sad blogs I do!

I'm not gonna go over the last three months obviously but the last few weeks I have been pretty crazy, starting college and all that. It's all a little hectic right now but I felt I should write one for the people who actually read this haha!

Yeah, well, as I said - I've started college! Which is epic! It's quite funny because a quote I'm using from the Scrubs finale is 'I build it up so much in my head, it can never match my expectations'. I do this for everything I do and to be honest, nothing ever does live up to what I built it up to be, but I'm not gonna lie - college has. I've met some awesome people and the course is insane (Media film and tv production). I feel really in my element in the lessons, all this creative stuff I used to write and have ideas for has finally got somewhere when I can put them, it feels weird actually to be somewhere I can feel like I'm actually going to be doing well in.

On another note, my band - Half Mile Heights. In the last two months a lot has progressed and changed. To start off on a bad note 'cause I want to finish on the good note is that some friction was caused in the band between myself and another band member. I'm not going to say too much because this is way to public but its strange because you would think something that was supposed to be set up for a laugh has caused a friendship to completely sink into something where neither of us talk. Still, I don't regret anything I said or the way I acted (minus the facebook annoucement via Half Mile Heights) and during all the arguments and things - I don't wish to go on and change things, right now I'm happy with the situation which may seem a little twisted but in all honesty, I feel like this because I haven't thought about it too much. Again, without saying too much - yes, this did flare up from something and all happened extremely quickly, none of it happened over the course of time. It's also made me realise how much I actually love playing music with Gocher and Lewis because (even if it's not in the best way to come about) I actually want to create something with this band that means something to the each of us. I'm not gonna go on like we're some huge band that split up like blink-182 or speak like Tom Delonge saying we 'want to change music' but both blink-182 and Tom Delonge have influenced me so much through this little area in my band because the way he talks about things such as blink's break-up and getting back together and how he talks about Angels and Airwaves is how I would love to lead my life and I'm finding that I actually am. But yes, this band, despite being in early stages actually mean's a lot too me because I'm doing the band with two people I consider as very close family and mean a lot to me so when we practice, we all put ideas in and it seems any bad vibes (though there wasn't much) has now gone.

On the positive notes of all of this, the band is beginning to slowly piece together. Members, equipment, it's all starting to set in stone and sessions have been incredibly productive with things being placed together on the day and being tweaked to sound even better. For me personally, and I think probably the same for the other two is that we are generally working hard to make it our thing. We don't want to be able to put to a genre, we don't want labels or anything, we simply want people to like our style which is changing during each song, from rock and heavier riffs to techno and progressive easier rock. We won't be gigging any time soon and we will be back on practicing VERY soon and I want to hopefully get a recording to put up on YouTube so people can hear what we've been up too.

I will try and get round to do more blogging now, the dust is beginning to settle with Gocher starting the music academy, Lewis improving extremely quick rate on the drums and me with College.

See you soon! x
