my-world-beyond

got into london aboot half eight

got off at wansted about 9.45 went strait into the george

dad and brother waiting inside

left just before kick out time

all members of party staggering (note: first time i've got really drunk with my dad, i've seen him drunk but i've never got totaled with my dad)

got home and then things got really weird

after getting drunk with my dad i then got stoned with him

then we went inside and watched some shit on youtube

this is the kind of shit i do with my roomies when stoned not my brother and my dad

we watched

hocus pocus focus link

siam shade - virtuoso link

singing picard link

vader sessions link

it was by far the most fun i've had with my dad ever

also if you have the time there is this

it's the full length live version of octavarium 

it's 27 mins long and performed live

you may want to skip the first bout of vocals but the guitar and keyboard synth work is truly amazing

the drumer mike portnoy whom there is a link to a solo of his in an earlyer entry is one of a select few who have been enscribed into the rock and roll hall of fame in his own life time

this is easyer translated into latin then done

these people are some of the most skilled performers in the world

some say the singer drags them down but i don't care

i will see this band live before i die

i will buy a dream theater ticket and see them live even if i have to hop on a plane to see them

until then i'm going to be buying a few cds

till next time

i bid you good day

jimmy and a broken computer lab chair do battle again

swear attack bloked by squeky wheel defence

chair moves into broken back rest stance def + 50

james uses clenched fist intimidation posture

and gets another chair

fucking chairs

new shit different day

i liked it better when i knew what was coming

heading home this fri for dads b-day should be a joyus event of much laugthter (and beer)

as usual my cranial capacity leaves me with out any ideas for a gift

i can't just go on buying the old git golf balls every year

maybe a record

shame the only record shop i've seen deals in trance, house, tecno and hip hop

me thinks such a record, if bought will spend it's days as a place mat for the casserol dish

best place for it

still will be good to go to a place were the faithful walk with heads high

were there are more chavs than emos

were my entire music collection is on show for well conciderd selection

away from the uni shit storm and into the fire of family

well

another pirate signal gets out

trace teams left with out a clue

the world beyond reason

the world beyond meaning

the world beyond all understanding but mine
