King Geek (or is it Geek King?)

The concert was AMAZING!

 Loved it!

I got a ticket signed by Chris and Jaret (bfs)

Chris signs his name backwards!

 we had to wait for 2 hours for bfs to come out i think my mate froze to death…

and also got another ticket signed from ppl from ZebraHead and Army of a freshman way cool show!

 Okay i left this post for quite a bit now so ill expland alot and try and talk about some of the crap i found funny.

 Was a truly amazing concert troughly loved it and cant wait to go to another.

 Anyway about 4 hours of contined jumping and singing, and everyone was so lucky it was load so they couldn hear me… i ended up right at the front moshing it near the speaker :D

during the end of bowling for soup and the end of it all i couldnt hack it, they ran out of water at the front and i was erm dying. so i had to go out to get a drink right in the middle of 1985 and missed all their last songs which usually are the best :(

so when i finnally managed to shove my way out i get there and about half of Zebrahead said hey… and i ignored them to get a drink. i was thristy!… and i said hi once i had downed to lrg coke cups :p

 amazing how sh*tty you feel when your dehydrated.

 what makes the above situation (of me ignoring zebrahead) worse is when we were quing out side one of The Bloodhound Gang was going round trying to sell their album, and i just thought he was a roadie @_@ oops… i only realised just before he got on stage. ace guy tho.

As i was hanging about NOT trying to stalk bfs… :p i saw something which just made me laugh.

there was the sterotypical obsessive middle aged fat bolding fan talking of the guy from zebrahead… but thats not all no this guy wasnt obsesive with ZEBRAHEAD NO he was talking about how much he loved Bowling For Soup! now is it just me who thinks, no matter how much you like the other bands which your touring with you still gonna find someone who is going on about another band a little annouying?!

what made me particularly laugh was they guy (form zebrahead) had one of those “will you just shut the F up and go away” faces every time he turned away from him.

hehe

so after standing out side the oasis, with most of bloodhound gang and army of a freshmen who were jsut standing arround having beers and smoking, until 1.30am (bearing in mind the concert finished at 11something with my mate tom who was so cold he was blue and shivering so feverishly he could barly hold the he camera phone ><

anyway i ment Chris and Jaret from bowling for soup, got photos as you can see above. and Tom kicked him self a day or so later when he suddenly thought wait a minute. why did i sit arround for 3 hours after with you and not get a photo of ME with them… silly boy tom… hehe

shame couldnt really wait arround for Gary and Erik but  i think if i had told would definatly not have been able to defrost, and my dad would have been a bit peved if he had to sit in the car for another 2hours…

also i have a hint, ALWAYS try to pay for £1 posters with a tenner! i went to buy a small poster and only had a tenner and because he couldnt find change he just said take it :p so i got a free poster yay to me! ><

 i can tell im rambling now.

I will have to have a go at posting my Mac computer review/rant soon.

Okay just a note today(friday aka Day 5) i only did couple of hours and left at 11.30 so i could sort out for concert…

Well i honestly cant think of anything new to write about for my work experience as i have done basically the same stuff, i folded and boxed a TON of A0 and A1 plans A0 is huge btw its like 16 A4 sheets all stuck together :p Lol

 Anyway.., then it is was just basically boxing the filing and stuff so all not that fun.

 and the things i want to write about i want to do seperatly so i will hold of and have my rant and review in a second after this so look out!

Ok so i ended my work experience, happy and fairly confident of my self when i eventually do have to get work (which isnt self employed.)

 Now have to go back to school on 29th coursework… exams… can it get worse?

When i was leaving was given nice little note which gave one of those nice feelings…

i also got a tenner which was a bonus.

THEN, on the last number 8 bloody bus it appears whoever got on next found my wallet with £25 in notes and over a fiver in change. as well as all my cards.

 but i had the tenner in a differant pocket :p so i gained a tenner and lost 30+quid… that is just so flippin’ me! Grr  ¬.¬

 im going to sulk now.

 but wait CONCERT!!! WOOOT

yay day 3 - Wednesday! Half way through the week!

Well today did a delivery with piers (who is Director of Kall Kwik) of leaflet things to Anne Snailgroves office, no one was there so they got god knows how many boxes placed with care on by their door…

 So when you get one through your door (which im gussing they will do) you can know i had a hand in it! 

 It feels kind of nice when you have someone who is in business asking your opinion about how they should go about doing something. which i was asked about how it could be best done which being me i kind went on a bit about how the coding should be good, and how loads of designers knock designs up on Photoshop and Dreamweaver which make gastly code!…

So erm what did i do… i Designed the front of a christmas card. with business in mind..

i will post a image soon.

I laminated some A3 Posters which (again im gussing) will be put up arround swindon.

Also did a bit of Admin work ie empting pre 2007 orders and boxing…

 Really though it beats school, and so much better when you have something to do!

Ok, i know i am writing this (and i will be writing day 3 and 4) today which is day four sorry i was really lazy and forgot! See even when i have a bit of ranting to do im stupid and forget!

 Okay just so you know i will write this as if its that day

Anyway Day 2 in the real world…

And things don’t completely suck… that much.

 Okay so today we actually had some bits to do which is SO much better than nothing (i never thought i would say that) So taday i had the exciting job of managing the black and white photocopier (belive me its not a standard it has multiple trays and everything (Woot) anyway… i was manging this machine which was doing 2000, 15 page thingys and stapling them at the end (all automated of course) so i was packing, refilling the paper trays (which took 3 packs of paper each) and i had to “Air” the paper first so it dont all stick and muff it up (Would anyone be interested if i wrote a tutorial on how to “Air” paper? XD seriously i will to fill a day if anyone asks me to hehe) anyway yea, and i also change the huge toner and the staples… well paul (Kall Kwik Manager) did because (in his words) the thing is a ba****d. 

 Also did colour coping… (the peak of excitement)

 And of course i ended up doing some webdesign (haha if you can call it that) and some coding (http://dansgalaxy.co.uk/templates/band_site) its really quite crap… but if i had the right images it would have been better (<- see here we go workman blaming his materials…)

Now i am TRYING to make my self save my opinions i got from using a Mac for another post so i wont go into it, but i used the mac a bit more today (3 hours straight).

Anyway i will get writing Day 3 now :p

“Day one in the big wide world, and Dan has had loads of fun… no just kiddin’”

 You may have guessed from the title at the first sentence it wasn’t good.

 I get there…. Well i say “there” i mean the address i have had on my form… and the big sign saying Silly you, We’ve moved! to then go to the new address.

 Small company with about 10 employees, with lots of large printers…

 I did some erm coping… IE put sheets on top type quantity press green button… WOW YAY (can you see the sarcasm dripping off those words?)

90% of my time was doing… well nothing! it was a situation of there was no work for us to do, but we couldn’t actually do nothing!

GRRrr! it pointless, they have no work to do at all and its just coping

 And our jobs so far has been defined as empty the bins at the end of the day, hover and o the best making tea/coffee.

Now i suddenly realise all my posts are probably going to fit into the ranting category…

 Day 2 is soon to come…

ok. here it goes. “The big wide world”

 at least thats what the leaflet said… im joking… it’s not that big.

 Ok so i am set for work experience next week. one week of erm fun… ¬.¬

 If anyone could try and explain how Programming, Computing, Webcoding and everything along those lines turns into me getting a place at a Printing firm i will never know.

So far i am not looking forward to this, i have to get up early get on some bus, and go somewhere and then try and find my way from the bus stop to this place… i hate this its rubbish why can’t i do work experience for “Working from home” i would like that. and atleast i could earn money for the work i do.

Anyway i feel very disapointed in myself really with my blog. its erm dead. and probably no one will even read this but hey… it just takes up my server space and bandwidth what do i care! Lol

I am hoping the work experience will give me something to write about so i will keep you posted on what i do and how much it sucked… or you never know i could enjoy it…

 We shall see… or at least i will and who ever botherd to read this far.

The only thing i am looking forward to is the Concert i am going to on Friday!

i will be seeing Bowling For Soup, Blood Hound Gang, Zebrahead and Army Of Freshmen.

I like bowling for soup so it should be good.. and who knows i might even get autographs! woot

i would love to meet Jaret! love his hair. and the rest… (of the band(s))

and i can garentee a very big Blog post on friday and i will try and add photos!  

Have fun guys!

Ok, now heor a thread on my local haunt i was looking for strange facts, and came across a site with all the strange laws which havn’t been revoked.

These included a few weird ones which have never been enforced.
