So lets get the bad bit out the way, I got my results for AS-Levels last week, if you've been following my blogs for sometime you might know I had a really bad year of school last year and I didnt behave too well. So bad results were to be expected. So yeah, I got 2 U's and a D. Woahhh, yeah so the school dont want me back, so Im taking an early gap year before taking my next 'big' step in life. So this year me and my friends from the year above me are gunna do stuff like go abroad, so I wonder where this year will take me. So for most people that ive spoken to, it seems a scary thought to not know what your doing at such a crucial age in life, but honestly, Im glad it turned out this way. With that I still weirdly have my real dream hopes alive, somehow. Yeah my band are going to start recording this week, none of us are great at what we do, but we're having fun and we dont wanna be taken seriously, and that seems to be part of our appeal in our local area. The first song we ever made is about Terrorists, so you can see where the bands going right? But yeah, once we record some stuff, we'll put it on our Myspace and Ill post a link here so you can see how terrible we are

Now for the next part, I had to think real hard about this, and now Ive come up with my favourite 5 albums of all time, and the reason. So here they are:

Number 5: The Marshall Mathers LP - Eminem

Reason: This was the first album I ever bought by myself, with my own money. Its also my favourite rap album of all time, and its the album that made me appreciate that genre of music. Eminem's best album in my opinion, and by the looks of sales, I think it shows that.

Favourite Song: The Real Slim Shady - Yeah a bit obvious, and even though there are better songs on the album musically, its just a great, catchy song that come on, everyone knows. I can be in any mood to listen to this song, so thats why its my favourite.

Number 4: IOWA - Slipknot

Reason: This is the album that got me into heavier music, my favourite Slipknot album, and their most aggressive. This is also my favourite image of Slipknot, as their image does play a big part in the band.

Favourite Song: Left Behind - Who could forget that riff? And the crushing sound of the chorus? If you've heard the song, you wont forget it.

Number 3: Hooray For Boobies - The Bloodhound Gang

Reason: Excuse the title, but it totally sums up the whole album. Full of cheeky songs, and sexual innuendos. The songs are great, and funny. The albums full of them.

Favourite Song: Three Point One Four - I cant talk much about this song on GS, simply because its to do with something rhyming with China and Carolina. Yeah you get me. Funny song, great lyrics and the chorus is stupid. But also gotta give a mention to The Bad Touch, because everyone knows that song.

Number 2: OSC-DIS - The Mad Capsule Markets

Reason: This album is just full of great songs, and most change dramatically. Some songs just sound so different, yet still you know your listening to the same band. Some are a Techno beats mixed with some rap metal, some are punk songs mixed with drum and bass beats, and one is even metal mixed with ska. Not well known outside Japan, but these guys were big there. Its something very different to listen to.

Favourite Song: Pulse - This song was featured on Tony Hawks Pro Skater 3, so anyone who's played that will have heard it. Its a mix of a beat (known as the Amen-Break) and a simple 3 chord punk-rock song, with a catchy chorus and rap-metal verses. A great song.

Number 1: Enema of the State - Blink 182

Reason: Every single song on this album is great, catchy and easy to listen to. Was one of my first albums I owned, and I will always stick with this album. Its Blink's best album in my opinion and its also their best selling album, its also the one that got them the fame. This album got me into playing the guitar, and taught me you dont have to be great at playing an instrument or singing to be in a band and make music, not saying these guys are bad, since I still believe they were one of the best bands ever, and because they made songs that were so catchy, easy to listen to and easy to love. This album is a must buy for anyone.

Favourite Song: Every Song - Yeah every song on the album is my favourite, because I cant pick one. There's the obvious ones like 'What's My Age Again?' and 'All The Small Things', but also songs like 'Anthem', 'Aliens Exist' and 'Dumpweed' that people might of missed, all being great songs, and also their first serious song 'Adam's Song' is a really great song. I dont know what else to say about it, but go buy it if you dont have it. Best Album, EVER.

So there you have it, my favourite albums of all time, hopefully some of you will share yours

So there I was just browsing GS, one of few websites that truly felt like home, like I knew everthing about, whatever I needed to do on here I could do easily, I could find everything, everything was perfect. Then suddenly I click a link to my unions, and BAM! Im hit with this stupid GS Wide layout from that beta. Where did my old GS go? I feel like im on a new site, I dont like it. I felt comfortable of GS, now im lost again, like the very first few days on GS. Not only is it hard to find some of the stuff Im looking for, but the info about my account on the top right corner of my page is really small now, I can barely even see my avatar up there. Also, my user profile now looks poor. Really poor. The banner doesnt look like a banner anymore, just a random useless, wrongly-sized pic. It just doesnt fit, its the same for my blog header, they used to fit snugly (havent used that word in years) and now they just look stupid, Tetris blocks fit better on my page than these things. Infact, the page looks like a game of Tetris, just someone who was deliberatly trying to lose. everything is stacked up. Ill talk more later as I need to go out now. But damnit GS, Im not happy, atleast give us the choice of layout!

Im now officially back, as in everytime im on the net, im on GS kinda back

I had so many issues to sort out over the past few months, everytime I sorted one, another was waiting around the corner, each one seemed to be worse than the one before, so I was forced to spend my time doing other stuff. Im kinda glad it happened that way because I needed the break from GS, it was getting really boring around here, and the break did me good.

I'm getting back into my unions, starting with the PSN Union that seems to be doing fine without me, so thanks to Sheena and MeltTech for keeping it going, and all the other active recruits. Then when some decent news comes around I'll update the Next-Gen Evil Union, I noticed the members keep joining, even though activity isnt too high, but thats still good. Then there's the FRD Union, which Im yet to check, but I'll do it after posting this, I'll be surpised if it is active, since their isnt much going on at FRD, no TS4 news, so yeah.

I checked that Beta for GameSpot Wide....oh dear, what is going on? Im fine with the way GS is thanks, how about adding some more features to the site that makes me want to come back and bother checking it everyday instead of just moving everything around?

I actually cant think of anything else to say, so...erm...

Nevermind, anyways, if you wanna talk or anything then you can catch me on MSN or Myspace mainly, screw GS's PM system, it's so damn annoying. So yeah, only use the PM system to ask for my Myspace if you have to, or my MSN is in my About Me. lol. Try and restrict yourself from PM-ing me.

It's weird, I cant wait to see your comments, see how your all doing, its been too long
