Behnaz Diaz!

Yo! I´m just chilling at an Internet cafe in Barcelona at the moment! It´s pretty amazing here! The weather has been so hot for the last couple of days, but I am happily putting up with it. We have skated a few spots so far, and spent a fair amount of time chilling on the beach. On the first night we got really fucked, carved a face into a water melon, and threw it out of our 6 storey apartment... Sick! Anyway I haven´t got long left on this computer, but I thought I´d stick a quick update regarding my travels on here. I´ll try and upload some photos next time I´m on here. Hope everyone at home is doing well! X

Hello! I never got round to putting up the pics from Barcelona! So here are some of my favourites, along with Shicken's edit of the trip. Watch us shave his head at the end! And check the photos of the water melon we carved... Then the ten metre blast radius it made when we threw off our apartment roof! X

The edit!

SUMMER

Hello!
Fuck, it's actually been ages since I updated this thing... I don't know why I never do it anymore? Anyway, as you can probably guess from this post's title, it's finally summer! And it's been a pretty busy one so far, with lots of the usual parties, adventures, chilling, good times, etc.

I can't really remember much of what happened in June... Except a couple of parties and a Barbecue round Emma's. So I might as well inform you of July's goings-on: The first weekend of the month was spent in Bournemouth! It's become an annual tradition to head down to the coast and get fucked for the weekend, so in fine form Edel, Aaron, Danielle, Elliot, Caleb, Big K and Myself drove down south in a convoy. We booked into a cheap hotel and spent the first night getting very inebriated on the beach until the early hours. Danielle, Edel, Big K and I were sharing a room so we dragged all the beds together and fell asleep watching 'Flight of the Conchords' on Edel's portable DVD player. On Saturday morning we woke up to rain which was pretty depressing, but by lunch time it had dried up and the sun was out. We got a nice breakfast at the cafe round the corner then headed down to the beach. We swam pretty much all day and had some pretty sweet fights in the sea! That night some of us went to town, but Caleb, K and I decided to just go for a walk because we couldn't be bothered with it. We met up with the others later, by which time we were all pretty crunk. The town wasn't very good so we headed back and slept. On Sunday we all went back down to the beach pretty early but pretty much everyone was up for going back because they wanted to go to the cinema. Me and Edel stayed for a few more hours n the beach and bought some food, which was nice! The ride back was pretty long, but we managed to get to the cinema in time to see...

Public Enemies! Which wasn't half as good as it could have been. A film staring Christian Bale and Johnny Depp has the potential to be amazing, but it was let down by Micheal Mann's poor directing, cinematography and lack of character development! It should have been more like 'American Gangster'. Oh well.

Not too much has happened in the last week apart from a fair bit of skating and going to Milton Keynes to see mates there. I'm off to BARCELONA on Saturday (which I'm very excited about), so I bought a new deck and some wheels + bearings for my board whilst in MK. I'll try and post something before I fly out this weekend, and hopefully I'll be able to keep you all informed of my antics out there if I find an Internet cafe... Anyway, I better get back to packing! Peace X

Hiya

Hello people! I haven't written in here for ages... Again! Sorry about that. The last few weeks have had their ups and downs! The main downer being that Dixon, Joel, Carl, Duncan and Enda have all jetted off to travel around Thailand... For the next three months! This has had a pretty detrimental effect on the friend group, especially considering how much time we spend jamming in Carl's room! We've all kept ourselves busy though.




A couple of weeks ago we all headed down to London for Edel's 18th birthday party. It was such a sick night! Edel and I got given £200 by her mum to go and buy alcohol, so we went to tesco and filled up a whole trolley full. Amazing! We had a little party in the garden at Edel's before all getting the coach to the captital. Patrick swore at a guy from the bus, and then the guy proceeded to throw a huge rock at the bus! Once in London we went to the first club. We went to three clubs altogether, and to be honest they were all pretty average... The best bit, however, was getting driven around on the double decker party bus! It had a huge soundsystem on it, sick lights, and we were free to dance/drink all we wanted... It was so good! We all got back into Aylesbury really really late, and pretty much everyone crashed out at Edel's.


Before the guys left for Thailand we had a pretty big meal at Frankie and Benny's to say goodbye properly. There was about twenty of us there, Carl's mum included! The meal was pretty funny and everyone had a good time, with the hardcore people staying out in the car park for a good few hours after the meal finished.

I don't remember much of the weekend but Friday was pretty chilling. Wooly, Gus, Freshie and I drove up to Oxford for a bit of shopping. Freshie picked up some of the new SB Stefan Janoski shoes, and I got some new Adidas Gazelles in purple. After that I went for a drink with Sophie in Berkhamstead, followed by a Call of Duty session round Big K's.

Last weekend was Dan Linke's house party. Christy, Gus, Freshie and I had been for a cheeky skate in Milton Keynes earlier on so we were all pretty knackered but it was still sick! I only heard about it the day before so it was a nice surprise to find it was actually a pretty good party. There were a lot more people than I expected, with pretty much the whole house full of people. The music wasn't too bad either and there was no 'standard beef' which lets a lot of parties down! Thanks Dan! (I have yet to find any photos from this party!!!)

And that pretty much leads me up to this weekend. I'm sure I've forgotten half of the shit that happened in the last few weeks, but if anyone reminds me I'll write about it on here! On Friday Elliot, Danielle, Caleb and I went down to London for another 'Chew The Fat!'. The weather was really nice so we were all pretty optimistic about the day... That is until we found out how much a return ticket to London from Aylesbury would be! In the end we got an Oyster card from Amersham which only set us back £9 each. Not bad! The gig itself was amazing: The venue (The Arches) was really nice, the soundsystem was sick, the crowd was chilling, as was the security. We stayed up all night, from 10pm til 6am, dancing to the likes of DJ Zinc, Foamo, Raffertie and Caspa & Rusko. We all caught the first train back to Amersham and had a kip on the way. I spent pretty much the whole of yesterday and today recovering and sleeping round Edel's. Oh yeah, Annabelle's back at the moment which is really nice.

Apart from that, and a fair bit of skating going down, not too much else has been going on. Caleb, Elliot, Big K and I went over to Stowe today because it's a really nice spot to enjoy the sunny weather. We found an amazing lake too which was super nice. Sorry for a lack of exciting photos at the moment, I need to install the programme for my camera! Hopefully it wont be too long until my next post! Safe X

Sorry!

Ah! I am so lazy when it comes to updating this thing nowadays! Apologies to everyone/anyone who actually reads this. As you can imagine the last fortnight has been pretty much the same as they always are. Going skating, going to parties, and chilling. Hard times. But seriously, the last couple of weeks have been pretty good. I managed to get some temp work at RAF Halton which was pretty easy. I just had to help some old guy put up beds and got paid 50 quid for it. However, I did manage to cut my lip because I got hit in the face with a spanner. Niiiiiiice! Since there are hardly any photos from the last two weeks, here's a nice photo of RAF Halton!

Last Saturday was Fleur's party. Unfortunately hardly anyone got invited so, dispiritedly, we all prepared for a night in at Carl's yard. The night took a turn for the better, however, as we soon got a phone call saying none other than DIXON (my very good friend who had been away for the last six months working at a ski resort in France) had just got home! So we all ran over to his house and hugged him for a long time. The night got even better when we heard about a party in Haddenham, so us guys all jumped in a cab over there. The party was pretty sick and (I don't know how we always manage it) we got in easily. A certain someone wrote 'LADS ON TOUR '09' on the wall (see photo) which was pretty jokes! The party lasted a good amount of time and standard ended in a window getting smashed and a fight erupting. Hooray!

The next day we all went over to Dan Linke's house because he was having a 'gathering'. It was pretty chilling, with the majority of people out in the garden drinking and smoking. Dan's dad got woken up though so we all had to leave!
I can't really remember much of last week, except for going to Oxford with Danielle and Jade. I bought a lovely new 'Third Foot' board which is currently lurking in my boot. Oh yeah, and my car nearly got locked in some weird car park!

The last weekend was ok. I missed out on a fair bit because I went to Wales and had a bit of a cold. But by Sunday I was feeling a bit better and we (yet again) heard of a party near Cuddlington, so a couple of taxis headed there. The party was actually really good: Turns out some guy owned a field and there was probably nearly a hundred people there all round a campfire, with a decent sound system which we soon commandeered! There were a whole load of tents strewn around the field as well which made it good for terrorising people! One guy who can only be named as 'pasty' suffered a horrendous amount of terrorising, and probably went home crying! Poor guy. After Carl set loose a load of sheep into the field we decided to head back. We missed our cab so we ended up getting back pretty late, but it was better than usual for a Sunday night.

We had a really nice barbeque round Emma's house on Monday... Thanks Emma/Emma's parents! Even though it was raining so we had to eat indoors, the food was really nice.... And even better because it was free!
And that leads me to now (Thursday). I haven't really done much this week as I don't get paid until tomorrow. Plus it's been pretty cold! We're all going up to London (for free!) on Saturday for Edel's 18th which should be pretty sick! Looking forward to that. Anyway, I'm in desperate need of some lunch, SAFE! X

Standard

Bonjour! How are you? No, you can't answer that question because it was rhetorical. I'm pretty good though. I'm trying to think of a way to make this post a little more exciting than usual... But I can't think of one. Maybe it'll come to me whilst I write. Anyway, this week/weekend has been (as the name implies) standard. The main news is that one of my best buddies, Annabelle, is back from uni for the week. Hooray! So the majority of the week has been spent round hers catching up and whatnot.

This weekend has actually been really good. The weather has been amazing, with lots of blue sky to keep me happy. Friday was spent chilling round Annabelle/Edel's yard, nothing too exciting. Saturday was such a good day, however. Christy, Chaz and Myself took a little road trip over to Abingdon skatepark, just outside of Oxford. The weather was so nice, and the park was siiiick. We all had a pretty fun session, and then headed back home through the Oxfordshire countryside.

Saturday night was spent at Dani's 18th birthday party. Because her parents own the Aristocrat Pub in Aylesbury, we pretty much had the place to ourselves. It was a really good party with a lot of familiar faces and some good music. The party ended at about 1am, but a few of us close friends were allowed to stay and jam in the pub for another hour or so. I headed back to Edel's with a few people and slept on the sofa. Everybody had a really good night!

Today (Sunday) I was supposed to go to Windsor with everyone to watch Carl's 300ft bungee jump... But I was too tired/hungover to go so I just slept. Big K filmed the whole thing and, to be honest, it looked like I missed out! Never mind eh. And that leads me to now... I always seem to be writing these things on a Sunday night. And I never did think of any way of spicing this post up... Oh well. Good night people X

Apologies...

Hello! Sorry for the lack of updates over the last couple of weeks... I have no excuses. I'm just lazy. Basically, the last fortnight has been pretty standard... Maybe a little better than average because everyone's off school. The weather hasn't been too great though. Anyway, I'll try and fill you in on some of the more memorable events.

The weekend before last was Jason's birthday. He had his party at The Saracen's, which could have been a bad choice, but there were so many familiar faces and a good playlist so it was pretty fun. I can't remember much of it, apart from getting very drunk and running off with Emily's camera. Wahay!


Last weekend wasn't too exciting. After hearing that some of our mates were getting in a fight, a few people ended up getting in a taxi over to Thame to help them out. They all managed to get in a fight, with almost everyone coming back with a war wound or two! I, however, ended up getting a cab with Fern, Emily, Lottie and Edel over to Leighton Buzzard to go to a house party we heard about. It was pretty jokes; loads of people were throwing bottles onto the road which was different! We weren't there too long though which was a bit annoying.

Last night was pretty good. Eight of us got a cab over to Rupert's free house and we all proceeded to get very drunk and dance the night away. We got a cab home at about 3am and everybody went back to Carl's free yard.

And that leads me to now, Saturday afternoon. Oh yeah, and as usual there's been a decent amount of skating these last couple of weeks... Sadly no footage though! Hopefully I'll put up a post tonight/tomorrow about tonight if anything interesting happens! Peace X

PS. I forgot to mention Big K got his hair cut! This is a momentous occasion for everyone. We filmed the whole thing, so hopefully you'll be seeing the footage very soon...

Chillin'


Easy now rude boys/gyals! Seeing as it's Monday I thought I'd put up a post about the weekend. Friday was a really jamming day. A few of us went to Aston Clinton for a cheeky skate in the sunny weather. Friday evening was siiick: A load of us went over to Big K's house. He had a free yard so we all chilled in the front room with pizzas, movies, etc. A few people slept over, but I decided to drive home and gave Edel a lift on the way.

Saturday was even better. The warm, sunny weather continued so we went to Aston Clinton... Again. There was a pretty big crew of us this time; with people skating, playing football, or just jamming on the grass. I headed home at about 7pm and grabbed a quick shower before heading out. K still had his free yard so about eight of us went over there and started drinking. At about half nine we all got a couple of taxis over to Bexi's masquerade party at Bob's Barn. It turned out to be a pretty sick party and some funny shit went down.

The party ended at about one and a whole load of people got taxis over to Big K's house. Seeing as his parents weren't home until Sunday, we all carried on partying well into the night and I even managed to get a few hours sleep in his sister's room. I woke up to the standard sight of a messy house with sleeping teenagers scattered all over the floor and empty bottles here, there and everywhere.
Aaron, K, Edel, and Myself treated ourselves to a proper fry up after a quick trip to Tescos. It was the best breakfast I've had in ages! We tidied the house and put on a couple of films, then I headed home about midday and caught up on some sleep.

Sunday evening I went out for a Mother's day meal at the Crow's Nest with the family. Two amazing free meals in a day made me very happy indeed!
And that leads me to today... Monday. The weekend's over already and there's a whole four days until it starts again. Friday should be good though as it's Jason's party. Good times! Anyway, I'm gonna watch some TV and hope that the weather's decent enough for a little skate tomorrow. Good night X

How high?

Yo! Here's a cheeky little post about what has happened during the week. On Monday Freshie and I went to Oxford for a little skate. It was pretty fun, we pissed off loads of people driving round in my car... But karma got the better of us and I managed to get lost about three times! Not good. I skated in Milton Keynes with some mates on Wednesday which was pretty chilling. In the last week I have come to the conclusion that 'How high' is probably the best film ever! It makes me laugh so much and if you haven't seen it then watch it NOW!

So far March is shaping up to be a pretty sick month! There's been some sick parties and the weather's been amazing. Anyway, I'm off out. I leave you with a picture I took of this pair of ducks that were in my garden yesterday, crazy shit. Laters! X

What the weekend?

Hello to all you lovely people out there! I thought I'd put up a post regarding the weekend's antics whilst I can still remember them. Friday was pretty standard, I can't really remember what I did in the day... So it probably wasn't anything exciting! We heard about a party in Bierton (I don't know how we find these things!), so we inevitably headed over there. There was a pretty large group of us and we didn't even know the guy who's party it was... But after our performance at getting into random parties last weekend we thought it was worth a shot! Along the way we were accosted by a horse! It was quite a scary experience; it just ran at us out of the darkness! After a few beers it calmed down though...

Unfortunately, our luck ran out and we didn't manage to get into the party. It looked pretty crappy though to be fair. The clientele consisted mainly of aggy girls and guys who spend a bit too much time at the gym (wastemen).
A fair few of us headed back to Edel's house to carry on drinking and whatever. I was pretty tired so I barricaded myself into a bedroom and had a really nice sleep!

Saturday turned out to be a lot better. Once again there was word of a party in Bierton... However this time we knew a few people going so the mood was a little more optimistic. James Rawlings had a free yard all night so we jammed over his and began the drinking whilst we assembled the troops. We got a taxi to the party a little later. About half of us managed to sneak round the side, but sadly the other half couldn't get in. We met up with Gus, Alza, Dan, Woolly, Ed, etc. inside which was jamming. It turned out I knew a fair few of the girls there too so it wasn't too hard to act like I'd been invited! I managed to steal a few beers which benefited my financial situation... Especially as I hadn't paid to get in! Carl and Dunc managed to 'Bear Grylls' their way in later on too... Good times!

Afterwards, a load of people from the party went back to James's yard and we carried on partying until the early hours of the morning. I had a really good time playing music on the speakers! Once the alcohol began to run out, people started heading home. I ended up getting to bed about 5am, but it was worth it because it was a really good night.

Today hasn't been particularly exciting: I handed in an application form at Budgens in Wendover and then just jammed in Aylesbury with some mates. The weather was really good so it was nice to chill after a hectic weekend. Anyway, I'm off to watch 'The Departed' (Such a sick film!). I shall leave you with a photo of me pumping some serious iron at James's last night! Good night ladies and germs X
