What a 48 hours!

Ok, so first of all I've had a manic toothache for weeks and weeks (verging on months now) and today I finally got to see a dentist about the beggar, turns out it's really bad and they may have to amputate. I mean root canal. which if you don't know is where the lovely dentist man takes out your tooth's nerve and replaces it with rubber, meaning the tooth is effectively "dead" but still usable, unlike the other treatment I was offered: "Rip the rat bastard out".
the reason it's got to this stage is because I'm not a fan of dentists, for my own reasons, and now I've given up playing nice with them and I am now speaking my mind to the drill toting buggers. luckily this dentist wasn't too bad (Jon, his name was)he understood (after looking at the tooth) that I was in A LOT of pain, and sympathised, but the one conversation that sticks out from our meeting is this one:

"Jesus Joe, this is bad, I can see why you've had sleepless nights! How come you didn't come in sooner?"
"I fecking hate dentists"
*looking at the drill he's holding*
"Fair enough, open wide"

On the upside, last night, to preoccupy my pain i went to a gig, not just any gig though, my first Ska punk gig, featuring Sonic Boom 6, Big D and the Kids table and the very very awesome Reel Big Fish.

It was as amazing as I could have hoped, and I had a brilliant night, even managed to sort of high 5 Aaron from RBF, which is cool. they have such a stage personality and presence which the live CD doesn't capture.

Here's a video of RBF's cover of Take On Me, and pictures might be up later if i can steal them from Charlie.

Back on the old grind

So, Today I finally got back to college, after almost an entire week stuck in the middle of now where with the snow (I live in the middle of no where, I didn;t wander out into the wilderness.)

So apart from the occasional walk in the white the snow has been good for one thing by my books, and that is in fact, my book.
I started writitng it a while ago, and while im not exciting enough to have memoirs, I am creative enough to have a novel, based on pac man.

So being back at college is a good fun time, and it's excellent seeing everyone again but for 1 reason and one reason alone i want to be at home, and that is Chuck.

Chuck season 3 returned last night for a 2 hour special, which has got me thouroughly excited.

Now apart from my internal struggles between good and evil I seem to be working rather well (not in college of course)
now off to look at some mobile typing equipement.

So, Snow.

Ok, so it's late, the snow I mean, not the time, it's in fact midday and I should be in college. For the 3rd day in a row I'm out of college and I'm a bit bored. I've got exams in weeks!

But in all fairness, it's allowed me to get on with this, which is a project that I've wanted to do for a while. A more personalised blog for me.

So here are some pictures of the white stuff which has allowed me to write this, and ultimately fail my exams.





Well Hello,

This is an idea that I've had in my mind for a long while now.
If you follow any of my other activity you'll know I already have a weekely article in the Crack'd Pot, and now new is a kick in the crotch of stupidity with How Are You Alive, but I've never really had a more personal blog which is something I've wanted to do for a while.

The closest thing I've had would be my old myspace blog, the back catalogue of which can be found here.

So here it is, the start of a more regular, shorter look into my life.

Joe is out.
For now.
