Hey peeps and Pipettes.

Sorry it has been a while since my last blog, but I have to be honest with you, I haven't exactly been feeling myself lately. I'll explain briefly why. A Female. Explanation complete.

In today's blog, I thought I'd explain to you a little about Aidan. Aidan is a guy who is an amazing friend, always there for you, always has a smile on his face, and would travel thousands of miles out of his way to help out a friend. And we as a band do whatever we can do to ridicule him. Just as the fantastic friends we are.

Let me explain.

We first met Aidan in a pub in August last year, and eventually after many months and many drinking sessions, we asked him to join the band as our media guy. He does all our videos, facebook stuff and pictures. And hes good at it. So why? I hear you asking dear readers. Why would you make fun of a guy who is basically like the second coming only much sorter and slightly blacker? Well it because he takes it so well. He deals with it in a way that none of us have ever seen.

So for your entertainment, below is a list of things we have said or done to make him the centre of attention in a completely bad way. P.s if you ever meet Aidan, feel free to join in, and I'll add it to the list:

1. Me and my girlfriend at the time convinced him that we had broken up because of his involvement with our relationship.
2. Me and Chopper convinced him that Chase the Season had split up, and that he wasn't needed anymore.
3. During a poker game, me and Nicky convinced him that Three of a kind doesn't beat a pair.
4. We constantly tell him to go back to his ex-girlfriend and reclaim the balls she stole from him.
5. We told him that it would be a really good idea to sleep with a girl who was stalking with him, to which he went and met up with her.
6. We told him that a girl he liked looks more like a man than he has, or ever will do.
7. He's half cast, so the Black jokes run freely. None of us are racist at all, in fact, he uses that joke more than we do, so go figure.
8. We are constantly telling him he cant come in shops with us, in case store security start following us.
9. The phrase 'Aidan: the guy with the age of a 19 year old, but the stature of a 12 year old' often makes an appearance.
10. The night before our first gig, we all stayed at my place, and we made him sleep on the only tiled bit of my room. He woke up with neck ache.
11. We once promised to get a girl to talk to him in the middle of a club. We however left out the size and shape of said girl.
12. We usually make his carry way more than any normal person should healthily carry in the form of musical instruments.

And these are just the recent happenings. There are more, but at half one in the morning, its all I can remember. Now, don't get us wrong readers (this is the disclaimer bit) we love Aidan, and he is very much a part of the band. And the only reason we do all this stuff is because he deals with it so well.

Also, in other news:

Valentines day is yet just another day, although me and Aaron did stand outside a restaurant earlier shouting at the couples having dinner, We finished writing a new song. Not really news I know, but usually guys write songs about girls, we wrote a song about Iwo Jima. (Check it on Google, you'll soon recognise it), I found myself randomly working the spotlight for a pantomime on the main show, a few days ago. I have never seen or worked on any part of a spotlight before, so that was interesting......I doubt they will ask me back to do it again, its a lot harder than it looks. You have to flick a switch on, move a light, then switch it off again? Don't know about you, but that's all a little too much for my intellect to understand.

So I'll leave you with my final thoughts on what has been a rather emotional couple of weeks (not making excuses for the lack of posts, just giving you a reason).

They say

'keep your friends close, but your enemies closer'

I have to say I disagree.

I say

'keep your friends close, and your enemies in a different continent if that's possible. Because if someone can take the smile away from your face for even a second, then they don't deserve to be anywhere near you. Just don't do anything stupid to your enemies, like kill them, cos then the police would ask you what you were thinking, then it would lead them to this post, and I'd have a whole bunch of paperwork to do, and I can't be arsed with the hassle'

It's probably not as catchy as the first one, but I think it could catch on.
If you said it really fast.
