the past few days
Ive been upto quite a lot since the last post on this little blog thing.
I had a job interview, and got an email. (yes, a fucking email. Saying how i was not suitable for the position.) Perhaps i should have given her my mobile phone number and she could have text me. That would probably have been less hassle for her wouldn't it.
I was wanting to have known about the interview last week, before i went to the festival, but only checked my emails for my job applications on monday and got the great news. Everybody says, "Well, at least you have a job." And yes, i suppose i can agree to that to some extent. Yet its not really the kind of job i had in mind after coming out of uni with a shit load of debt!
But hey, i do get cheap music. Then again, if i were earning some proper money i would be able to buy a lot more music wouldn't i!!
Fuck- rant rant rant. But i suppose this is the place for ranting so im not really doing anything wrong am i.

So, had the job interview. Got rejected. Plenty more fish in the sea and all that. I think i should start broadening my horizons and think about a move somewhere. If you are willing to travel, there are far more job opportunities available. I did get an email off of my uncle about one of his mates who has just bought some hotel out in Thailand and needs help marketing it. Im just hoping it isn't one of those dodgy hotels if one gets my drift!

Back onto other things. Electric Gardens Festival.

Got my tickets and was well up for it. Dance day Saturday and then indie/rock on the Sunday. Saturday was awesome!
Freq Nasty played and literally took the roof of the tent off. Everyone was super charged after his set, especially knowing that the Plump DJ's were on afterwards. Oh yes. It was pretty good so we stayed for the beginning of their set, but then left to go and see audio bullies- which i personally thought were fucking shite.
Im not sure if it was the crowd, or just the music they were playing but i didnt really rate then at all. It could have been mainly due to the venue, as they audio bullies were on the main stage yet the plumps and Freq Nasty were in the dance tent. Throughout the whole weekend (apart from Van Helden) all the gigs out on the main stage were nothing compared to the dance tents. Perhaps it was down to the club style atmosphere that the tent contained, and the way the music can't escape the way it does outside.
Not sure about the highlight of the saturday- its gonna probably be toss up between Freq Nasty and Van Helden.
So once the evening had finished at the festival, our night had just begun.
This was down to the fact that we hadnt managed to get any camping passes, and i was rather unfit for operating a vehicle! We thought it would be ok to just get the sleeping bags out of the car and just crash there, but a mates mate said it would be cool if we camped with them. They had paid for a pitch, and we had not. We would just have to set the tent up, at night whilst completely fooked. It was eventful, seeing as i just sat on my arse and watched Chris put the bastard thing up all by himself. Cheers mate!!
After a good, well, after some sleep we woke up to find ian had practically been up since 6am, as he didnt bother bringing a proper sleeping bag. Have a guess what the guy brought?!! An in flight blanket stolen from BA. It was a rather chilly night for Ian!
So we got up, dozed out in the sun for a bit whilst the girls we were camping with were necking some vodka- 9am. Nice. It made me feel rather queezy, but not as queezy as when i made my first visit of the weekend to the camping toilets.
Holy shit. Its perhaps the most retched, putrid smell ever. So why the fuck do the put the bloody fish and chip van next door to it!! Holy shit people!
In order to queue up and get some food you are punished by inhaling the shit of that man further down the queue with that dodgy beard. Sort it out people!
So, after nearly puking my insides out, we ventured to Canterbury to get a bit of supermarket grub and then headed back for further beers, and chilling.
The first band up on sunday were on at 1.30pm so we had plenty of time to chill and indulge in the finer things in life.
Sunday was so chilled compared to the previous day, and a lot busier too. Probably due to the Rock N Roll revolution that we are currently going through, its all "popular".
You should have seen the amount of people dancing once Automatic got on stage. What a crock of shit they were. Every song sounded the same, yet everyone in the crowd was loving it. We were quite far up the hill so weren't really involved with it all. Just watching the bands that we interested, or venturing back to the other areas to see bands that we wanted to catch, such as Electric Soft Parade. These guys were really good. Go and check em out people.
Anway, back to the Automatic. I noticed this one girl who was dancing away, and thought i recognised her. After another quick look i realised it was an old mate from school. The obvious thing was to go and say hello, yet i couldn't be fucked to.
Its like what me and Matt were saying the other day at work. I kept in touch with the people that i wanted to keep in touch with. If i had approached her, like i have on a few other occasioms since leaving sixth form i would have asked the same boring questions, and received the same boring answers. "what you doing with yourself now, still doing this and that." "do you still see him and her." "you still in woodchurch."
To be honest, i didnt actually give a fuck about what she was upto, and she probably didnt quite care what i was upto either. So i saved my energy for something more positive, like watching Ian skin up another joint!
That will do for now folks. Hope you are all well!
