Hey, its not that hard to be “old enough” and buy some Buds  

Fun story whenever I hear ‘Bud’, I always giggle because it’s pronounced the same as ‘bod’ which is the Irish for ‘penis’.

 

Now remember that whenever you go out to buy some Bud 🙂

HKL is back in Manila for a while thanks to our nice Department of Immigration friends.

Hopefully we will sort this all out permanently in the coming days / weeks / months / years / centuries!

Good luck, @HongKongLady and @trcanberra! The current government in Australia is almost as bad as America’s, so don’t think it will sort itself out before March (2020).

Hold on trc, trc hold on

It’s gonna be alright
You gonna win the fight

Hold on HKL, HKL hold on
It’s gonna be alright
You gonna make the flight

Meanwhile, in my life… 

I dragged myself along with Silly Mum to the SHOPPING MALL, of all cursed places*, solely for the prospect of stopping in the guitar shop on the way back. Well, the mall took so long, we nearly didn’t make it, but fortunately they were open a bit late and so I got Sadie a guitar strap and AN AMPLIFRIARPARK! ahdn_ringo_09

It’s a Fender Mustang II, for those of yez who’rt interested. I haven’t even begun to make inroads into what all it can do; I’ve lots of playing around to do with it. a-hard-days-night-ringo-15

 

*I HATE MALLS with a passion. (Warning: petty rant ahead) They’re noisy, crowded, they smell funny, they’re too bright, I have to walk miles whilst dodging poky strangers wearing too much cologne, usually, and I’m bombarded from all sides by splashy advertising for things I’m not even slightly interested in, I can feel my sense of self being worn away by everything around me, and it’s just generally horrible. a-hard-days-night-paul-3 a-hard-days-night-ringo-13paul-mccartney 

Why the smeg do people enjoy shopping?!?!?!! a-hard-days-night-ringo-14

The one thing that made it bearable was my trusty headphones and some Rubber Soul (though it took so long I ended up listening to bits of Wish You Were Here and Sgt Peppers). I’m sure I looked a fright as my headphones are, let’s put it this way, not designed with fashion foremost in mind, and they’d been tackily mended by yours truly after getting somewhat broken, but I couldn’t have cared less — they kept my soul intact. My mall shield. a-hard-days-night-john-6

I couldn’t agree more. One of my local shopping centres (or malls for people who use that term) is called Highpoint, but no one in my family calls it that. 

We call it ‘Knifepoint’.

Do you like our name?

Ooh yes, I haven’t been in those places recently but they’re all horrible… however, there’s something about malls that stands out to me. I think it’s the fact that malls are supposed to be cool.

The main problem I have with malls is that if you’re a reseller, like me and my friends used to be, life sucks for you because there’s a 0% chance you’ll find something in a mall that you’ll be able to sell back at your store for 5x the price, that’s why I recommend resellers go to thrift stores and flea markets, as well as dumpster diving, although be very careful with that last step, as there’s a lot that can go wrong there.

Maybe you should try posting more.

Malls and airports are ok. I don’t go to either very often, but I like them when I am there.

I just heard The Times They Are A Changin 3 times in a row. 

I listened to the album version in the shower, checked facebook and saw a new cover posted of the song from a guy I really like named Josh Tuner (Here is the link) and then I opened my computer and the song began to play from iTunes. 

It was very funny to me.

I wasn’t sure exactly where to put this, but it happened in my life, so here it goes: 

I had to chose an artist for a project, research and write about them for school, so of course I chose Klaus. a-hard-days-night-george-9I wrote an entire page worth about him from memory, and I only needed a paragraph. How much of a Klaus nerd am I? paul-mccartney-facepalm_gif
