2006.

Wed, 04 Jan 2006 02:12:45 GMT

It's been a while since i updated this.
So i thought i'd post an entry
to keep my thousands of fans happy. hahah.

So, 2006 hasn't started off great for me.
Although i'm sure i'm going to be pretty busy most of the year, with band stuff.
Which is good,
because i miss it all;
the stress of booking shows
the stress of making the shows happen
the stress of websites
the internet addiction, and late night coffee runs because you're up trying to fix something.

Oh it sounds terrible, but i thrive on it.
If i'm not doing that, then i'm doing nothing else.
It's good to be back, and this time around it's going to be harder than ever.
But totally worth it.

girls - confuse me.
signals of positivity, signals of negativity.
it's all confussing.
minds need to be made up.
decisions need to be told.
to rest the hearts black or gold.

Ok i'm out.
Stay safe,
You are Under our Control.

my lazyness is taking over me.
I need to get my life in order.
Every day my feelings about this world get stronger
and i am finally coming together as a person.
I have my set opinions on the world and what is wrong with it
(oh, come on. everyone does)
My opinions are not for this journal.
If you would however like to hear my opinions on things
then go ahead and ask.

But for my opinions to be stronger,
my life is weaker.
There are asspects in which my life seems to get better
and with God on my side, i know things will work out.
I just need to move myself.
I can only blame my own actions.

Things that have been going down...

Wed, 30 Nov 2005 07:25:13 GMT

Well at the moment,
I am being threatened to be kicked out of school
for officially the 4th time in a year.
To be honest, it's getting boring.
and quite annoying.

But on the other side,
my band is back.
Yup Four Star is back.
recording december/january
CD coming out end of January.
Should be good.
I know you are all excited
or well, no you're not.
and nobody reads this anymore
but i mean if you want to be cool then tell your friends to add
us on myspace.
www.myspace.com/fourstar - surprisingly!

It's different music (none of the new stuff is online. yet)
But yeah, go knock yourself out.

Thanks,
-Grant

My acoustic show

Tue, 19 Jul 2005 03:36:00 GMT

In edinburgh on the 14th of july i got up on stage infront of about 100+(?) people and played an acoustic show. my first time ever and i was so nervous.
probably the best venue i'd ever played and i had to do it on my own.

DUE to the fact my band four star is taking a year out, more or less a split (which saddens me, because i love those guys. but people need space) so this was our second last show, and i had to do it on my own. man it was scary but sooo much fun. i got the biggest rush ever and couldn't stop smiling. It was awesome.

Here's some pics from it.

i played okay i believe you but my tommy gun doesnt and had an american guy called callum? sing it with me. it was amazing. the crowd were amazing. and if you were there. thank you.

MY BIRTHDAY.

Mon, 04 Jul 2005 22:59:20 GMT

It's my birthday.

Enough said.

Thu, 23 Jun 2005 21:29:37 GMT

I've had my face dragged in 15 miles of shit, and i do not like it.

this world takes the best

Sat, 11 Jun 2005 21:52:54 GMT

tonight is a sad night for me.

My mum's friend's brother was diagnosed with a form of cancer recently and could be gone within any minute now.
Yeah it sounds like another person dead from cancer - oh such a shame.
But for me, this is more.
This man made such a big mark on my life, even with only meeting him a small number of times.
He was the best person with kids.ever.
He was a family man, with a new family, a new baby and his eldest daughter getting married in august, and he will miss this due to the fact his body couldnt cope with cancer.
I have had close family scares and losses through cancer before, but nothing has made such a mark on my life. I have no idea why im so upset by this tragedy, but i am.
If i could give anything to let him live for just the rest of this year to see his family happy, i would give it.

Wed, 01 Jun 2005 21:42:40 GMT

time in everything takes up time and pain

Mon, 30 May 2005 15:55:06 GMT

My friend brendan is asking me to do vocals on one of his songs, go check out his band:
www.myspace.com/backseatconversations

my body is sore all over from playing football (soccer to those from across the pond) all day yesterday, so im in real pain today - and that's because im so darn unfit.

I am really a camerawhore with a shit camera. I'm like a prostitute in the middle of a field... with no business.

Star Wars Update

Thu, 26 May 2005 10:00:46 GMT

The Saga is complete and i've now seen all Star Wars movies that there is to see.

It was the greatest way to end up, a huge amount of action from start to finish. the best part being the darth vader breathing experience for the first time in the movie. so awesome.

i have to go see it again.

anyone wanna come with me? (laura?)

i'd lie for you. maybe

Mon, 23 May 2005 11:17:41 GMT

so it's 12pm and im sitting in my PJ's still and im getting ready to go see star wars. It's gonna be awesome.

check it out, i'm a Jedi which makes me cooler than you.

Anyway, i'll update this when im back from the movie. It's gonna be swell.

my needs and wants live a terrorist

Fri, 20 May 2005 02:03:40 GMT

i've got it.
your mission: to find her.

she has to be cute. be fun. stay up till stupid hours in the morning speaking to me, have good taste in music, understand that i hate my body and my face. understand i only want to be in a band in my life,and that's all im going to do. understand that i put my neck out for my band and would lose a toe for it... (maybe not).
i want someone who will love me and give me love... but not in that horny little teenager way... the way that when you call them they always answer with a happy tone, the way that when you sleep with them you're sleeping with clothes on and you wake up next time you with your bodys touching and you can feel their breathing. the love that only good people get. i want someone to spend each of my days with. someone i can trust. someone that is perfect.

im not bothered about big breasts, tall and blonde... or sex. sex doesnt bother me. i've never had it, so i dont crave for it. fuck it thats what i say (ok thats a really bad pun)

but now you have your specifics, go find her. and bring her to me.

dark hair, dark eyes too.
okthanks.x

My Foundation

Mon, 16 May 2005 11:14:22 GMT

so i've taken it apon myself to start a foundation for me.

The 'Grants Hoody Foundation'

This is where you come in.
If you want to chip in any amounts of money then i'll be sure and happy to accept. I can accept thru pay pal because im paying the hoody in pay pal... or you can post me the money. feel free, for drug free.
Yeah it's that Until Industries hoody... the drug free one.
I've had my eye on it for about 2 years now and i've taken it apon myself to actually buy it. so for the good cause you should help me purchase it!

Thanks,
-grant

it's all for nothing

Mon, 02 May 2005 21:27:49 GMT

is it wrong to hate being alone?
when every night is the same. alone. nothing to do, but everything to live for.

I look for not much, but for the small things.
The moments you dont note physically but you do mentally.
the things that dont leave you till you gain it all again.

Goodbyes hurt, and love is a drug to the blood stream. Something we need when we dont have.

I look for my reason to live. but still i don't find it.
give me your eyes to see what you see so maybe i can find it.

decision.

Wed, 27 Apr 2005 19:47:55 GMT

so i've decided to start a side project. sounds good huh?
in the veins of eisley, bn, jew, and bright eyes. Or something.

Should i do this? i'm undecided but i feel the need for a change;

less rocking out
more focus on my voice.

who knows, do you? help me. should i?

the weekend ends with tears of joy.

Mon, 25 Apr 2005 17:53:19 GMT

So i've had an awesome weekend with an awesome friend called laura.
First of all she is awesome. She gives me bottles of water when i need them and t-shirts when im cold and compliments me when im down.

we had some good laughs and i got to wear an awesome jimmy eat world t-shirt.
played a show in brechin - it was awesome. Missed the train and were stuck in brechin until Graeme's mum picked us up. she's a ledge.

Fell asleep watchin family guy.

now i'm sick and alone.

oh my.

What a day. Nice changeable weather. Had such a laugh with Karleen and Liam.

MCR were really really fucking good.
I wasn't really looking forward to going, but they were really good. Had everyone in the palm of their hands.
Good stuff.
Bunch of goths there too, but all was good.

Check out the pics from the day time.

Sideburn Boys got bored. Michelle got it good.

Liam (guitar tech) and me with some atticus hat.

I am the king of glasses.
