    Frank Turner - St. Christopher Is Coming Home

     

    "Monday morning comes a-crawling in from another weekend choked with cigarettes and sin, and I've been busy so much lately, that every time I get some time to spend I end up drunk or sleeping in. And I miss you; you're busy too. We call each other up when we're messed up, and say we'll meet in the new year, but it's perfectly clear that we'll do no such thing, come the spring."

    Frank Turner - Love, Ire & Song

     

    Well a teacher of mine once told me

    That life was just a list of disappointments and defeats

    And you could only do your best,

    And I said "Well that's a friging cop-out, you're just washed up and your tired, and when I get to your age I won't be such a coward"

    But these day I sit at home, known to shout at my TV

    And punk rock didn't live up to what I hoped that it could be

    And all the things that I believed with all my heart when I was young

    Are just coasters for beers and clean surfaces for drugs

    And I packed all my pamphlets with my bibles at the back of the shelf

     

    Well it was bad enough the feeling, and the first time it hit

    When you realised your parents had let the world all go to FECAL MATTER!

    And that the values and ideals for which many had fought and died

    Had been killed off in the committees and left to die by the wayside

    But it was worse when we turned to the kids on the left

    And got let down again by some poor excuse for protest

    Yeah by idiot friging hippies in 50 different factions

    Who are locked inside some kind of 60's battle re-enactment

    And I hung-up my banner in disgust and I head for the door

     

    Oh but once we were young, and we were crass enough to care

    But I guess you live and learn, we won't make that mistake again, no

    Oh but surely just for one day, we could fight and we could win

    And if only for a little while, we could insist on the impossible

     

    Well we've been a good few hours drinking

    So I'm going to say what everyone's thinking

    If we're stuck on this ship and it's sinking

    Then we might as well have a parade

     

    Cos if it's still going to hurt in the morning

    And a better plan's set to get forming

    Then where's the harm spending an evening

    In manning the old barricades, so come on old friends to the streets

     

    Let's be 1905 but not 1917, let's be heroes, let's be martyrs, let's be radical thinkers

    Who never have to test drive the least of their dreams

    Let's divide up the world into the damned and saved

    And then ride to the valleys like the old life brigade

    And straighten our backs and we won't be afraid

    And they'll celebrate our deaths with a national parade

     

    So come on let's be young, let's be crass enough to care

    Let's refuse to live and learn, let's make all our mistakes again, yes

    And then darling, just for one day, we can fight and we can win

    And if only for a little while, we could insist on the impossible

    Leave the mourning the to the morning

    Yeah pain can be killed

    With aspirin tablets and vitamin pills

    But memories of hope, and glorious defeat

    Are a little bit harder to beat

    I've come to the semi-decision of taking a year out from university. At school I wasn't taught any knowledge as per se, but simply how to pass exams. My school also didn't offer some subjects that are taken as assumed knowledge for my course, which leaves me in a sticky situation. It's probably best I take a year out for private study and work, and drop from MEng to BEng when I return to uni. Or at least that's the plan until my parents convince me otherwise.

     

     

    Also, 2 new songs in the works. "Wasted (Youth)" and "Edging Closer to Sideways". If I hadn't lost all the songs I wrote in high school I'd have a decent album by now :bow: Of course, there's also the slight issue that I'm lacking in the drummer, bassist, and singer departments.

     

    "Wasted (Youth)" isn't quite as introspective as the title may suggest. It's partly about myself, but largely about Scotland as a whole. My sister was put on antidepressants towards the end of last year (the same ones my mother is on), and another friend just told me yesterday that he was put on them last month. "Edging Closer to Sideways" is a bit of a sensitive issue, hence why the title (and lyrics) only slightly allude to the subject matter.

    I have a problem. I have a flat for next year, but no flatmates. I can't afford £960/month by myself. Everything's just kinda fallen through, and I can see myself having to move back home. Not good, given that I don't see myself being able to commute 70 odd miles to uni every day. Especially given that I don't even own a car anymore.

     

    Drop out of uni?

     

    Year out somewhere?

     

     

    My life is epic fail.

    Daddy let me use his credit card :sigh:

     

    They wouldn't take my debit card because they're funny Americans :)

     

    For some reason American companies like us to pay with methods that let us spend money we might not have, but don't let us pay with methods that only let us spend money we have.

     

    And I do have the money, because I have over £700 in that account! Until rent day :D

     

    Never before have I come across someone so reluctant to take (less than) £6 off me.

    That's some pretty impressive plasmas. My deut mines are pretty small, so I don't have enough to build many plasmas, especially with robotics factories to build. I'm shipping res directly where it's needed for now, but when numbers get bigger I'll start chanelling it all through a main planet.

     

     

     

    And Borg, you can easily cover that one up by just joining us in 36 ;)

    What are your defences looking like to protect that production?

     

    My standard is 200 RL, 200 LL, 20 HL, 20 Gauss, 20 Ions, and shield domes. I can build plasmas too, but there's no pressing need just now. My neighbours are largely ignoring me.

    So, how's everyone getting along now? I've got a decent spread of planets in G1, then a couple in 2, 3, and 4. All with robotics factory 9 and solar plant 22. Solid defence but not OTT, and just enough cargoes to move res about for building. I think I'm also lucky enough not to have anyone spring up with a moon nearby, which is handy. Carry on as is for the next couple of months, then fleet in summer.

    My uni 9 account will probably still be in VM when the clocks roll forward here. I rely on my computer telling me when the clocks have changed, so I always screw up that fleetsave the night before.

     

    And given that my lectures are pretty much over this semester, I'll just grab an "extra" hour's sleep when the clocks change.
