I’m really…

Posted on July 19, 2006 by Matt

bored. Well, I’m only bored at the moment, I’m surprised how well I’ve kept myself occupied over the last few days/weeks. It’s been great fun! I decided to start saying “yes” when people ask if I want to do stuff (I’m taking a leaf out of “Yes Man” – go read it, it’s brilliant!). Last night I went to a BBQ at a random house, to see Kerrie. On Saturday I said Yes to helping out with a kids club and Yes to going to Buxton carnival. I also said Yes to going to James’ party in Manc, but got stranded in Buxton and wouldn’t really have been able to make it, but I still said Yes! This afternoon I’m going to give Amy a rollerblading lesson! I can’t wait!

How rubbish are the British public!

Posted on July 14, 2006 by Matt

Very rubbish! I’ve decided I’m never going to get into rubbish TV shows like Big Brother again, because they just leave me disappointed with the state of people’s opinions. Tonight, Nikki was evicted from Big Brother. Out of a choice of 11 people, they evicted the one who has the most personality and is by far the funniest housemate in the whole series!!! Are they bloody mad? I’m so riled (I never use that word – I’ve expanded my vocabulary to get my frustration across). If you’ve not watched Big Brother, and I can understand why, then just let yourself go for a minute and watch a few videos of Nikki’s best bits all hand picked from new friend Youtube.

I’m just gonna leave it at thoes for now. If i find anymore I’ll put them up, but here’s some pics of the many faces of Nikki!

Are you Matt Goldspink?

Posted on July 14, 2006 by Matt

I’ve been reading a very funny book called “Are you Dave Gorman?” in which two flatmates, Dave Gorman and Danny Wallace, make a bet that Dave can’t find 54 people with the same name as him. It’s a true story and there was a TV show and a comedy circuit of it, and the book has photo’s of all the Dave Gorman’s met. Now I was wondering if there any other Matt or Matthew Goldspinks in the world. Odds are… no! Goldspink is a very rare name and I don’t think I’ve ever knowingly met anyone with the name that is not related to me. But, if anyone does know a Matt or Matthew Goldspink other than me then I’d like to hear from them! I don’t know why, it’d just be interesting to compare life stories and… well I don’t just have a chat!

In other news, I’ve been granted a US Visa (woohoo!) so I’ll be going to New York with work now. I had a slight break down in communications with the woman interviewing me for my visa. She asked me to place my “right ring finger” on the fingerprint scanner. Unfortunately I had no idea which one my “ring finger” was and so looked at her blankly. She then demonstrated by waving all four fingers at me! I looked even blanker. It was only then I realised she was touching one finger with her thumb. Using my amazing powers of deduction, I guessed she meant that finger. So I put it on, only to hear her say “your RIGHT ring finger, please”. Needless to say she probably thinks I’m far to thick to be harmful to any Americans!

New About Me page

Posted on July 8, 2006 by Matt

The observant amongst you may have noticed that I didn’t have an “About Me” page. Well fear not, I’ve just done one. It’s a bit pants, but you can see it here.

Jarvis Cocker Photo’s online

Posted on July 7, 2006 by Matt

James has just passed me the photo’s from Jarvis Cocker DJing at the Mint Lounge a few weeks back. I did shake his hand! Honestly!!! It was one of those moments where the world around you disappears and there’s a connection with you and said person and nothing else matters, not even photo’s to prove I completed some bloody challenge.

Mix Of the Month (A little late): 1 to 12

Posted on July 7, 2006 by Matt

Apologies for this being late! What with being in Mallorca, moving out of Manchester, Graduation, etc… It slipped my mind! Anyway, here’s a random novelty mix I did a while back this year. It’s called (rather aptly)

“1 to 12″

I’ll let you guess why (hint: take a look at the tracklisting ;) ) It’s only 32mins long this time due to the nature of the theme of the mix, so hopefully my bandwidth won’t get caned this month. Also, apologies for the quality of the mixing, I haven’t really tidyd it up, so the mixing is a bit dodgy.
Listen Here (14Mb wma file)

Tracklisting

  • 1 Thing – Amerie
  • 2 More Dead – RJD2
  • 3 MC’s and 1 DJ – Beastie Boys
  • 4 Better or 4 Worse – The Pharcyde
  • 5 Minutes – Sound Providers feat. Procussions
  • 6 underground – Sneaker Pimps
  • 7 Nation Army – Nostalgia 77
  • 8 Ball (Remix) – N.W.A.
  • 9 To 5 – Dolly Parton
  • 10 Years – Braille
  • Eleven Twelve – Sesame Street (Braces Tower Remix)

Getting Fat

Posted on July 7, 2006 by Matt

One of main challenges for the year is to get fat. I’ve been a skinny prawn all my life and now I’m back home again sponging off my parents before I start work, I’ve decided to eat as much as I can. So far I’m not doing too badly. My initial weight was 9st 3lb on Monday (very light). Then on Thursday morning I weighed 9st 7lb (still very light). I’m aiming to hit 10st 5lb (with a bit of belly) by the end of the summer. So stay tuned for weight updates!
