yeah as you can tell i'm in a pretty good mood at the moment since ive spent the last five days at soul survivor; if anyone has not been or doesn't know about soul survivor ( really you haven't lived) i'll give you the quick lowdown. Basically it is a huge christian camp filled with about 10,000 teenagers each of the weeks its on. Theres tons of stuff to do ranging from sports, skating or just generally chillin. Then theres the main meetings, which are awesome, often lead by the legendary Tim Hughes

Or worship is often lead by Delirious? Or how about Hillsong United

But i really cannot get through my lowdown of soul survivor without mentioning the great Mike Pilavachi, he truly is a legend.

So thats pretty much what soul survivor is and i would like to give it up for all my friends who all made soul survivor great, matt, rob, doug, pete, jon, bev, rachael, dave, jemma, brett and all the cool new girls i met may, louise, lucy, julie, beth, emma and ciara.

I think i have to give stevie p his own little mention, his campness was liked by literally everyone on site and everybody knew his name, so lets give a shout out to fantabulous, spinniferous steve

So cheers everyone, cant wait for next year

Unsurprisingly Red hot chili peppers. Actually i was kinda hoping they would win because they are truly an awesome band and so im glad im dedicating this post to them.

The chilis belong to an elite group of bands that have stood the test of time and lasted (whilst remaining popular) for over two decades. This is probably due to the originality of their music and the various elements it consists of. It is really a wierd mixture of funk, rock, punk, pop, rap and pretty much everything. It has awesome bass tunes, provided from ultra cool 'flea', great guitar riffs from John Frusciante and wicked drumming from Chad Smith. But really Red hot chilli pepers would be nothing without Anthony Kiedis aka Antwan the swan. He's such a good vocalist and performer since he's got his completely unique style that is pretty much impossible to imitate. I reckon that he's similar to ( i know i'll get many who diagree) Freddie Mercury. Hang on hear my out. The two have quite similar stage presences on how the really put on an a friggin awesome show and really write wicked tunes. And yes i know Anthony is not gay and doesnt dress up as ladies.....watch the video for Queen's 'I want to break free' and you'll see what i mean

My mate James (still envious of him for this) was lucky enough to get tickets to the Chillis live at Slade castle. Check out the amazing pic below of what was apparantly an amzing gig.

Now seriously for that many people to like them they've gotta be pretty darn good don'tcha think?

So what's my favourite Chilis song? Pretty hard to choose since theres so many great ones. But i'm gonna have to go with either by the way, californication, can't stop or under the bridge. But i really do recomend this band highly and mtvs always doing chilli days so go check them out...........now.......go buy their cds and taste the greatness that is the RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS!!!

Basically im posting about The OC, kinda sad talking about a tv show but hey what do i care. But the thing is i really do enjoy watching The Oc, i really don't know what makes it so compelling. The only reason i sarted watching was because i saw an advert for season 2 (which just finished) and the girls looked hot! But as i watched more i became genuinely liking the show; aswell as the girls of course. I think its the mixture between comedy and drama that makes it so good, ad it executes it sooo well.

People may have just dismissed it as another Dawson's Creek love-athon..which The Oc has elements of...but thats not the point. The point is that the characters are actually interesting. Plus the show contains the legendary SANDY COHEN!!! The epitome of legend....surfer lawyer and generally Mr Cool-Nice Guy.

Anyway i recently bought the season 1 boxset because i hadn't seen the first series. The thing that i really liked about the show is that i actually found it interesting from the beginning and had substance to it. Different to say Friends (also great show) which i didn't really like the first series. Orange County (which is a real place in california by the way) is so different to the U.K, and ive talked to people that have actually been there and it is actually quite a good synopsis of life in The OC, ignoring the fact that storylines have been exaggerated for effect. The term 'The OC' refering to Orange County has apparantly been adopted as a much more common phrase because of the show.

So yeh anyways thats pretty much what ive gotta say about the awesome show that is The OC

For some reason today i thought i would post my thoughts on what annoys me the most. I must say that i really do i have a huge dislike of chavs in general. Its not really that they wear gay clothes but its just they act like such losers, c'mon seriously who goes round looking for fights, its because their life has no significant meaning to it so they try and act hard. People who are genuinely hard don't need to let everyone know, they just are. So thats what annoys me really about chavs, oh and the fact they can't string a sentence without a swear word.

Next is the height issue i don't really mind light hearted jokes about my height but c'mon get something better because its really old and lame. People seem to think you cant do stuff because you may be shorter than someone whats up with that, if it was to with height id understand but most of the times it not and just another time to mention that their tall and im not, some type of gay superioty issue.

Next what annoys me is foreign people working in public relation jobs, who cant understand english...come on all i wanted to know was how much a smal popcorn and small drink how hard is that? Quite apparently! Like if they learnt english in a decent way id understand but really c'mon.

Next what i really dislike is worthless celebrities, like i have now problem with celebs who worked their way to fame i.e the fresh prince will smith (legend) but people who just become famous for being rich or the child of someone just annoys me. Mabye im just generally in an annoyed mood but hey wotever.

by the way live 8 was great if anyone didn't watch it you missed out on the biggest concert ever

So finally the day has come after 4 excruciating years of waiting. Most of you will probably know that i am referring to the fact that i have been waiting for a phone for 4 years whilst everyone around me owns one. This is because my parents didn't trust me that i wouldn't spend all my money on it and that i would take it to school and get it confiscated......which was probably true. To be honest i am quite pleased that i had to wait because no it is so much better and i feel i deserve it, and technology means that i have video, pictures, mp3, bluetooth and all that in my phone....something i wouldn't have if i got a phone earlier.. Now as a reward for finishing GCSEs i have finally got a phone and here it is in its greatness:
