Ahoy

so, i've been having one of those days where i turn into a complete misanthrope. you know, where all you do is watch documentaries on strawberry farms in Oxnard, organise the fridge into two categories yum and yuck and finally in the midst of your stupor, buy a ukulele of course!
yes, i bought one, and only about 14.99. quite a bargin for a half decent one too. i've also been indulging in hundreds of youtube tutorials trying to learn songs by beirut and local natives. im getting the hang of it! plus with my abnormally small hands the ukulele makes a nice alternative to the guitar for me.. going to eat
 while being here in the middle east with all the heat in my dad's house is great i've been missing (yes... MISSING) good old wales, and living in the valley. my friend H and i have a diabolical plan inspired by two people in ireland where we'll cut up some pubes and sell it to year 7&8s who are desperate and foolish. enterprising no?

oh my god. who is god, even? well i found him in the form of an ethnic hipster youtube vlogger KASSEM G. check him out here. his best videos are probably the California On series where he and his camera crew walk along Venic Beach and ask the population about various controvertial topics such as marijuana legaliasation, sexting, religion and the like. its a bit of a laugh to see.
here's CALIFORNIA ON ENGLAND

SIDEKICK 4 GIRLS

I've been away for this easter break at my lovely old home Bahrain, a little island under the sun. We've had a bit of political trouble here over the past few months but thankfuly its all peace and love here again.
here's Bahrain:


I've catching up with old friends, and have met a load of cool new people who came to bahrain after i left and some of them have some cool stories to tell about donkeys in greece and getting their nose peirced by a prozzie in india!  A trip to bahrain is not complete without hitting up the oh so infamous Wranglers, full of $leazy bastards and pumpin' beats it's the best place to
1. get absolutetly destroyed
2. get perved on my old grenades
or 3. dance till dawn
plus its in walking distance on the beach!
