I believe in the philosophy of a ruling class, especially as i rule
Yesterday (wendesday) was my first day and it was cool. I was kept busy all day as there was a massive stock and price sheck to do but as i was busy the day went reasonable quick. So far the staff are pretty cool and dead easy to talk to which makes things alot easier and chilled out. Hopefully they'll keep me on till after christmas so not only will i have a cool ass job but 30% discount aswell as other benefits like free rental at blockbuster :)
After that i spent yesterday playing Rollar coaster tycoon till 2 in the morning which meant i got little sleep as i had to be up by 7 30am to get to uni and am subsequently really tired now so i think ill go watch "24" or read "Love Hina" for a bit.

congratulations and celebrat-ions
Yes Yes, well I'd like to thank my mum and family, also my friends and last but not least all of my cats. If you read Rays then you will already know that I got the job at gamestation in southport. Excellent news i thought and most worthy of blogging. It would have been cool of ray had got the aswell but alas... Anyways im pretty excited about it. I start on wednesday at 08:45 where up i shall recieve my gamestaion T shirts (sweet). This all came as sort of a suprise, i mean the interview did go really well and the manager, she seemed pretty cool but the thing that was bothering me was that i was half an hour late, i did however phone to let them know but i really did think that it would go against me. Well how wrong was I.
Aswell as that my phone also came (although two weeks late) and its feckin sweet. Its just the right size, and smaller and id lose it. To top of this goodfortune i also got into uni again. This time to do a pretty cool course called moving image which is basically how to make independent film. Theres also a screen writing element to go with that so with any luck it should be quite exciting.
It's been seven hours and 15 days
Also i broke up with my girlfriend of 15 months. Im not going to go into detail as i know atleast one family member who reads this blog :| I don't know if we will get back together or not but the most important thing is that were still friends.
And so to end on something not so depressing although it could be argued...spirited away. To those in the area around liverpool need i say more. I mean is liverpool or is it not the new european northwest capital of culture yet we seem to be lacking dont we, if its the capital of culture how can such and acclaimed film not be shown. I ask you why. We know that anime in this country is unprepresented but for gods sake this film, like ray said, has won numerous awards and is on blockbuster status so capital of culture or no capital of culture it should be showing in abundance. Seriously though im thinking of writing to the liverpool echo expressing my concern. Perhaps if we got an online petition (hint hint ). I dont know, as much as i love liverpool maybe it should be stripped of its title and let manchester have it? Ooooooohhh!

Orange trainers train Orange trainers to train Orange customers to train thier Orange phones thankyou!
Just ordered the sagem myx-6 from Orange. Should be here within 2 days but mike ordered the same phone a week ago and it still isn't here??? Nehoos the reason i had to order a new phone is because i splilt milk on my old one on saturday whilst at work. Coincidently i only said a few days earlier I can't be bothered buying a new one because this one still works. Fate it seems is not without a sense or irony.
Also gonna put some pics up real soon, hopefully of short film im making to try get into uni, i have two days to film and edit it all, leaving it all to the last minute despite the fact that ive had almost a week to do it. Meh...

'oly sheeet
If I did blog on a regular service then I would apologise but fuck it. So without further ado I bring you”Marshall” a round up of the Leeds carling weekend, a week late.
Well things couldn’t have got off to a better start really after leaving some booze, food and disposable BBQ on coach then having to pay extortionate fares on the bus from the coach station to get there. But that was only half the miss fortune, once there Chris had a 2 litre bottle of lemonade explode all over him (he was using a knife to cut the tape keeping bottles together), the sausages got burnt after two minutes, fortunately though, my BBQin' skills came in handy and I made Birdseye burgers for all. However I did manage to go out on the Friday and spend £70 on a BBQ and food, the BBQ then got stolen, fortunately it was on the last day when we had finished using it anyway.
The only other bad thing to happen was to Tim who was unfortunate enough to have his tent stolen….then found it again 30 feet away in a neighbouring campsite! This, however, was not just a case of lost it found it. He decided to get angry and even said, though I’m sure not on purpose “You’ve never seen me angry”. Ok so its not exactly a quote but considering the conditions I found it amusing, Then again small things…small minds. Anyway, he decided to express his rage by roaming the campsite at 2 in the morning ripping up other people’s tents, followed by me trying to calm him down. He kicked off on some who had the same tent thinking it was his, needless to stay this guy didn’t hang around and was gone by the time we woke up in the morning.
Any-hoooo. The weekend was ace. Met up with loads of people and had a really good time, didn’t drink to much but smoked a lot of weed so J I’m kind of disappointed that I didn’t see more of the bands but often a lot of the bands I wanted to see where really close together or on at the same time. Also as a group we had to do what others wanted but I still got to see electric six, blink182, the end of placebos set, system of a down, metallica, good charlotte, blur, primal scream, death in Vegas and the cooper temple clause to name but a few. Needless to say a few minor injuries where obtained but not as bad as Tim who’s right leg is bruised and battered. Which sought of brings me to my next point.
During the weekend “X” amount of injuries occurred whilst in the main arena, perhaps most notably those that occurred during System Of A Down and Metallica. And despite there being thousands of people at the festival only a very very small amount where injured. I think the papers said something like 22. 22 out of thousands!! The point was raised about festivals being dangerous but the fact is that if you’re a fan of a band who’s music is heavy like system (who stopped the set when they realised someone was hurt (and the played thankyou by led zep which ricked)) metallica, you expect mosh pits to happen and if you don’t like them or don’t want to be in one then you don’t go near the front and I’ll put money on that the people injured realised there was a chance they could get hurt but wanted to be there. The point I’m trying to illustrate is that the small amount of people hurt where hurt as a result of them being in that situation voluntarily as opposed to the thousands of people who get run over by a car, robbed, INvoluntarily yet they say festivals are dangerous. Meh, I’m just ranting, anyway, topnotch weekend. Ill more than likely do it again next year. Also pictures to follow of skanky toilets.
