26 mei Big Fish, Small Pond.At some point in life there comes time for change.
I am not writing this blog anymore. I'm sorry to all my adoring fans who (are probably now in tears, yeah right...) have followed my adventures over the last year, university and non-university. I know that at times it has become hectic in this blog, even downright confusing. It has helped my through good times and bad, leaving all my friends and moving 70 miles North to attend university. I hope this has brought you as much joy reading this as it's been for me writing it.
However, don't be too upset because the fact is that this blog is now just moving! Check out my new website at www.bobbikk.co.uk! That's right, I have my own website! May the adventures continue!
Bobbikk 25 mei Euroseason's Greetings!It's everyone's favourite time of year again! That's right! EUROVISION TIME! (Ok, well it WAS everyone's favourite time of year last Saturday. I know this is a little late, but I've had rehearsals lately that take up most of my time and energy.) So, here's my run down of this years entrants, because I know that none of you want to forget the magic (or majic) that was this years Eurovision:
1 SWITZERLAND “If We All Give A Little” / Six4One
...we can all win a lotto! This forgettable little ditty sounded like something off of childrens TV. What a rubbish opener to the contest. Although, Switzerland have a reputation for bad songs after the awful 'Celebrate' of two years past, which managed to get 0 points from EVERYONE. That's quite an acheivement. It has since been proclaimed not only the worst song in Eurovision history, but possibly even THE worst song in history. 2 MOLDOVA “Loca” / Arsenium ft. Natalia Gordienko and Connect-R A very boring pop song that tries to rhyme as many words as possible with 'loca'. Mocca, Poker, Doka, Foka, Woka... this song is a joke-a...
3 ISRAEL “Together We Are One” / Eddie Butler This song began this year's Eurovisions obsession with wearing white. Maybe they did it to try and stand out and be different, maybe they were just idiots. Who knows really? Well, since they didn't win, and everyone else wore white too... methinks we can safely say that it's the second option. 4 LATVIA “I Hear Your Heart” / Cosmos Hurrah! Boys with talent! They sang well (best singers in the contest in my opinion), even if the song itself was a little forgettable but that is easily remedied by a random robot that has nothing whatsoever to do with the song! Which they had, so all is good! (Also continued the 'we're gonna wear white' trend) 5. NORWAY “Alvedansen” / Christine Guldbrandsen Ah, the Norwegian version of the Corrs. Sadly, like the Corrs, no-one was looking at only one who had talent, due to the fact that everyone was too busy looking at the pretty ones. The title translates as 'the elf dance'. Right. No elves in the audience unfortunately, so no-one was dancing. 6. SPAIN “Bloody Mary” / Las Ketchup They did 'The Ketchup Song'. 'Nuff said. 7. MALTA “I Do” / Fabrizio Faniello My Eurovision obsessed friend Chris suggested that Fabrizio may make the ladies swoon. Well there was no swooning in my house that evening, oh no. Definately not, unfortunately, we were too busy trying to determine just how ugly he was to actually listen to the song. Sorry Malta. 8. GERMANY “No No Never” / Texas Lightning I'm sorry. This is the EUROvision song contest. No American's please, even if they're from Germany. The Americans are going to have their own version of the Eurovision by the way. It's true. My bet is that they're gonna call it the 'World-o-vision Song Contest'. 9. DENMARK “Twist Of Love” / Sidsel Ben Semanne Twist? Breakdancing? Danes? Underlying message of peace and love? How could this lose? Well, the answer is, like it did on Saturday. 10. RUSSIA “Never Let You Go” / Dima Bilan Another decent song. This is where the contest actually starts to pick up! I can still remember the 'flesh on my flesh, bone on my bone' bit, so that's a good sign. Unfortunately Russia is a bit behind the times, so the bloke singing it had a mullet. Also, Russia is a little medically insane, so there was a strange lady inside the piano and random ballerinas. 11. FYR MACEDONIA “Ninanajna” / Elena Risteska There is a joke in Eurovision that Macedonia could get through to the Eurovision Final just by singing the phone book. In the case of this song, they might have been better doing that. Also, I know that by making the women wear less in the contest some countries can get the pervy old man vote, but this young lady was pushing the realms of decency a bit... 12. ROMANIA “Tornero” / Mihai I can't actually remember this song. That's how good it was. 13. BOSNIA & HERZEGOVINA “Lejla” / Hari Mata Hari
Another decent song, another act all wearing white. This song had a great melody and a melancholy feel to it. However, the main thing (to any drama student that is) was the stage picture the created at the start. Wow, thos Bonsnogovanians know their theatre! 14. LITHUANIA “We Are The Winners” / LT United HA HA. They weren't. Wankers. 15. UNITED KINGDOM “Teenage Life” / Daz Sampson Daz, the hope of the nation. Didn't do very well, did he? However, news reports state that he's wanting to go back and have another go! His mum must be so proud. 16. GREECE “Everything” / Anna Vissi Ah, obviously the Kelly Clarkson of Greek music. Anna was the favourite to win this years contest. Well, despite her obvious Avril Lavignity she didn't win. Don't worry love, you haven't lost everything, you've just lost with 'Everything'. 17. FINLAND “Hard Rock Hallelujah” / Lordi Yay Lordi! Yay Fireworks! Yay Monsters! Yay Mr. Lordi's Top Hat! Yay Bat Wings! Wow, this just had to win, didn't it? I mean Finnish Monsters who manage to include the words 'Arockalypse' and the time of 'Rockening'? A well deserved first place I think! 18. URKAINE “Show Me Your Love” / Tina Karol I think I passed out after the wonder that was Lordi, and when I came to 20 mins later, I think this song was still going with it's 32nd chorus. And THEN they brought out the tambourines. How LONG was this song? I mean, there's only so much Ukranian repetetiveness I can take.
19. FRANCE “Il Etait Temps” / Virginie Pouchain She was French. She sang nicely. that's all I remember. It doesn't matter, it was only France. 20. CROATIA “Moja Stikla” / Severina I checked out the lyrics to this one on the BBC's interactive service. Something about a stiletto, grass growing under it, knocking on a door and half past two. Maybe she was on drugs when it was written. Maybe she was on drugs when she performed it. It didn't make much sense, but at least she didn't wear white. 21. IRELAND “Every Song Is A Cry For Love” / Brian Kennedy True to form, Ireland flog us a peace anthem. Only Ireland would do this. ONLY Ireland could produce a song with so much 'save the children' vibe. So let's not talk about the song. Let's talk about the backing singer who looked like a priest and had a disproportionately big head. Didn't he have a big head? 22. SWEDEN “Invincible” / Carola Sweden attempt to knick the chorus from 'The Winner Takes It All' by ABBA in an attempt to re-live former glory. They forget that you need the ABBA beards of Benny and Bjorn to pull it off. Noth the aging face of 'The Human Hurricane' Corola and her fantabulous wind machine. 23. TURKEY “Super Star” / Sibel Tuzun A strong performance from Turkey complete with ear piercing high notes. I thought this would win (don't take that as 'wanted this to win' because I wanted Lordi like most normal people) so much that I said 'I think this will win' about six times. Thank God it didn't. That woman had a very scary face. 24. ARMENIA “Without Your Love” / Andre Last song of the contest and it's performed by Eurovirgins Armenia. Lets hope that they learn from their first time and come back with a lot less bland and a lot more cheese. Well that was this years Eurovision. I'm not obsessed... am I?
Bobbikk. 16 mei ...and Death Blinked.Just over a week ago, I had a battle to the death.
I saw my life flash before my eyes and the a great white light was glaring down upon me. The whole world closed in as the adrenaline pulsed its way around my body, tightening every muscle and honing every sense. Breathing heavily and twitching ever so slightly I edged towards my nemesis, both of us knowing that only one of us would leave alive. The dance of death we performed, would have, to anyone watching seemed beautiful, but to us it was the last dance of survival, the only music playing the rushing of blood in our ears.

I lept forward with a powerful strike straight to the head. Although not fatal, this left my opponent dazed and confused. Annoyed and a little scared that I had not killed him with the first shot I lept forward with another. That was it. He was gone. Not just dead, but vanished from existence, never to be seen again. I emerged, shaking but the victor, to be showered with praise and adoration from the woman I love. I had done it. The wasp was dead.
Ok, so it was only a wasp.
But it was a BIG motherf***er.
Bobbikk 12 mei How Alarming!BRRRING-A-LING-A-LING-A-LING-A-LING.
"Oh shit. I'm only wearing my boxers."
BRRRING-A-LING-A-LING-A-LING-A-LING.
My first words of the morning, as the fire alarm proceeded to go off for no reason. Everyone crams outside. We stand, we laugh at what everyone is wearing, or not wearing, as the case may be. We comment on how warm it is, and praise God that there is no broken glass on the ground to cut our bare feet. Others who experienced a similar fire alarm the other day laugh at us for revenge. On the whole it brings us all together. Fire alarms are most definately life affirming.
However, say you are escaping a burning building, deadly smoke is pourring out of every window. You can feel the heat of the flames lapping at the back of your neck. It's almost impossible to see and harder to breathe. You manage to clamber out of the building alive, with the few possessions you happened to have in your hand at the time. What is the first thing you do?
Apparently the answer is, as demonstrated by the Greek community of our block, have a cigarrette. "Oh, wow, I've just been saved from the deadly clutches of this inferno and it's evil ashen smoke! What I really need right now is to burn something and breathe deep on it's lovely fumes..."
Bobbikk 09 mei It's a Sign of the Times.Crewe is thoroughly wheelchair accessible.
Every single bit of the city of Crewe is completely and utterly disability friendly. You could go anywhere on crutches or in a two wheeled sitting device. ANYWHERE. Nothing is out of bounds.
I know this, because I saw a sign. It said Crewe, and then next to it was a little picture of a man in a wheelchair. It's amazing what they can do with a bit of concrete and delinquents on community service these days isn't it?
Bobbikk. 25 april Morning Has Broken7:15: Rob awakes to the sound of the alarm and his own voice greeting the day with "oh dear Lord it's morning already!" A good start.
7:30: Rob has had breakfast and smacks his lips with glee, as if to say "That breakfast was lip-smackingly good!" Which it was.
8:00: Rob is showered and joins his two companions for a good old bout of morning exercise. They walk to the local sports facility centre (or, as it is known to the local inhabitants, 'that place with the pool and gym and stuff') before realising that it does not open 'til half 8:30
8:30: Overly snooty sports facility centre receptionist allows Rob and companions entry to her pool of delights (Rob chuckles at the innuendo-ness of this, like a small child (tee hee)). They swim. And swim they do.
9:30: Tired, but feeling good about themselves, the three swimming maestros leave the pool, chuckling about the implications of the 'shallow' end and the 'deep' end. English students find amusement in the strangest of places.
10:00: Rob arrives back at his room, feeling good about himself and the fact that he has seen a time before 10:00.
Now, here's the question... what the hell do I do with the rest of the day?
Bobbikk 24 april Lancaster Sun, Lancaster FUN!Well, I'm back at uni. There's bright sunshine outside, my first lecture is in about half an hour and I've managed to muster up the energy and motivation to unpack my stuff. My DVD collection now seems much more impressive than it did before and my friends have agreed that my new clothes are very stylish.
I have very mixed feeling about being back though. For one, I am once again on my own. No parentals are looking after me, and whilst this is not necessarily a bad thing, it does mean I have to do everything myself. Far more importantly, though, it means that I am once again 70ish miles from Sara. However, I am going to have FUN and then when she comes to visit we shall have more FUN and then when she goes again I'll have more FUN. Sounds FUN doesn't it?
Other than informing you (whoever 'you' are... *suspicious glare*) that I'm back at uni, I do not have a lot to say. So I'll shut up.
Shhh... If I have to be quiet, so do you, so, shhhh...
