The Year Is 2009

So recently there has been a lot of talk about this thing called Christmas. I'm not sure if you have heard about it so I’ll give you a brief introduction to it. Basically, or as far as I can understand, around 2000 years ago (give or take a couple of years) there was this baby born. He then later grew up into a man and became a sort of magician of some kind. I hear he was better than David Blaine... anyway. Apparently because this dude was so good at magic, people still celebrate his birth. Yeah, I suppose it similar to Winston Churchill day. Although it’s celebrated in December, despite this bloke being born sometime around March... but hey, I didn't write the rules. The best part about it is that people give presents out just wily nilly. So back to the main point. People have been asking, what do you want for Christmas? And I’m like? What do you mean? They’re asking me what present they should buy me. Now let’s not forget that I just celebrated my birthday... (See the last blog for proof, oh, it was good by the way) so now I’m getting 2 lots of presents. MENTAL!

Also, as its December, that means that it’s almost New Year! Not the Chinese new year of course because there arsey, and have their own sometime next year. But it’s this year for them. I know, confusing right! So I thought i'd do a little summary of the things I liked about 2009 (two-thousand-and-nine):

Music: - Top 5 Albums (in no order)

• White Lies - To Lose My Life
• Kasabian - West Ryder Pauper Lunatic Asylum
• 30 Seconds To Mars - This Is War
• Julian Casablancas - Phrazes for the Young
• The Cribs - Ignore the Ignorant

Movies: - Top 5 Cinema Release* (in no order)

• The Hangover
• District 9
• The Soloist
• Watchmen
• Star Trek

*I am yet to see Avatar, and Sherlock Holmes is not yet released, but I think these could be contenders.

Seen as though this week has seen the passing of yet another celebrity, I have decided to name the 5 celebrities that have died this year, that have had an impact on the world.

• Michael Jackson
• Les Paul (think guitar)
• Bobby Robson
• Farrah Fawcett
• Brittany Murphy

Other than that. I have nothing else to say, other than:

Congratulation to Rage Against The Machine who managed to keep X-Factor Joe off the top of the Christmas chart. It was one of the most exciting Christmas chart races for year. I know I bought 3 copies... how about you??

a long awaited party...

Now before you jump down my throat and demand to know why I haven't been writing a blog recently, why don't you stop to think...? I’m not a performing monkey, nor do I condone the enslavement of monkeys to force them to perform! Although, I do enjoy seeing a monkey wearing shorts! And drinking tequila! But only if that’s what they want to do, and are not being forced to do so by anyone!

But that's beside the point. The reason I have not been writing as much recently is simply because of late I have had a hell of a lot less free time! what with the excessive amount of uni work recently, and being in lectures 5 days a week, and in work for 8hours + 2 days a week, its barley surprising that the blog has not been a focal point of my day to day routine. I don't even have anything up my sleeve that I had planned to talk about. I really just decided that I would sit down and type and see what comes out. So far it has turned out to be a load of babble.

As the title suggests, there is a party on the way. Yes that's right people. The mysterious 'Elliot' after who this blog is named is real, and as such has a birthday. That day is coming up. Now I shan't disclose the age that he will be but it’s a big’en. As such there is a party planned and will be taking place soon. I personally am excited. And I believe that others are excited too. It’s going to be more epic than Bilbo Baggins party in LOTR. Well, it would be if there turns out to be a couple of midgets there and a dragon! And let’s not forget the finest weed in all the shire!

But enough of that. Let’s get back to the main creative side of this ere blog. Recently, in between the hard work of university and work, I have been working on a screen play. A movie screen play. What do you mean you find that hard to believe? Why? I know you haven't heard of it, that’s because at the moment it’s a secret. Well I think your just being awkward now. Right that’s it. I’m not going to tell you about the screen play if that’s the attitude you’re going to take. F*$K YOU TOO! No one is making you read this are they? Don’t walk away from me whilst I’m talking to you! Don’t you dare slam that door! Oh you don’t know what you have just started!

I’m sorry about that, but I’m always getting rattled about my screen play. Anyway, all of this talk has got me thinking. Recently, I was told by 3 people that I have neat handwriting. I’m not trying to brag or anything, it’s just a fact. 2 of these were off close relatives. Close relatives that didn't actually believe that I had written in their birthday card, because the writing was so neat, and they did not recognise it. I mean seriously? When was the last time you saw my handwriting. Everything these days is written four you in the form on Times New Roman, or if you’re really lucky, Ariel. When was the last time that you actually write anything down? Anything important I mean. I don't mean when you make a list of things that you need to do for the day:

1. Wake up

2. Eat breakfast

3. Read Elliot's Blog

4. Question Elliot's sanity when he has arguments with himself on a blog.

5. Take a mid-day nap

6. Wake up

7. Eat breakfast... oh wait, I've already done that. But if I wake up again surely I start the list again... so I will have to have breakfast again, and then re-read the blog. Which would be pointless because I’ve all ready done that? But if I don't wake up then that means.... oh no! Man this list making malarkey is difficult. Oh well. I’ll have to make a note of that on my other list, and remind myself not to make a list because it’s too difficult.

Ok, so admittedly not everyone does that. And not even a lot of people do that. It’s just a select few that do it. And I am no knocking it gosh no I love it. Not in the way a baby loves cocaine, but I find it to be a quirky addition to you! Also, don’t give babies cocaine. That’s ridiculas. That’s how cholera is spread! And you don’t want a baby with cholera. Trust me. It’s nothing but buy this, pet that. Allow this......

One final question:

Does anyone know where I can get myself a Mysterious Looking Bird... or a French Ostrich... or a Half Blind, but with heightened senses iguana??

Let me know....
