Good stuff happening is good. Yes, yes it is!!! 15 good things in the world of Gareth lol :p

This blog has seemed to have turned into a strange place for me to get random silly thoughts off my mind so I figured I'd do some nice positivity for a change. I'm a bit hungover still from Al's birthday house party so bare with me...

Good thing 1 - Holidays!!! Just need to get these flights booked this weekend and I'm off on my big fat adventure which will be wicked :)

Good thing 2 - Resident Evil 5 soon!!! I've been waiting for this game since I lived in Cambridge (must be 4 or 5 years now...) and if this is anything to go by I can't wait - http://www.rehorror.net/v20/first-real-resident-evil-5-review ... March 13th is a long way away though annoyingly but yeah, after a disappointing demo my excitement over computer games that seems to happen every couple of years has reappeared and I'm getting ready to shut down my life again when it comes out. Geeky I know, but as one of my friends kindly pointed out the other day, geeks make the world go round hahaha!

Good thing 3 - Widen Cartel Album going up on iTunes in the next 4 weeks or so!!! Submitted the album and the artwork now so just needs processing and putting up there :) Exciting times, will be hilarious seeing it up there, considering writing to the Leighton Buzzard Observer to let them know and get them to do a horrendous review lolol. Genius!!! Need to have a night out to celebrate back in the Beezy... wont be the same without Tom there but someone has to hold up the fort hahaha ;)

Good thing 4 - Being a Lord!!! I am legally now a Lord (well, Laird as it's Scottish land I own) so just going to work out which of my bank accounts and other random accounts with companies to get the name changed to... getting my post delivered as Laird G Bishop will be stupid, love it :) Makes me want to commit some crime and get caught too so I can go to court and make the judge call me Laird hahahahahahahahahaaaaaaaaa. I'm such a dick.

Good thing 5 - Tea. Nuff said.

Good thing 6 - Andrey Arshavin!!! I'm so glad that as a club we have signed him, it's not just to help salvage what has been a pretty tough season for fans, but also as a statement of intent to our other key players that we still mean business as a club. I expect us to sort out our defensive woes (which actually arent that bad... 10 games unbeaten is it now?) and get a holding midfielder to replace Flamini's departure in the summer, but for now I think we have what it takes to ensure Champions League football next season. Let's just smash those dirty scummy yids on Sunday!!!

Good thing 7 - Rafa Benitez - all I have to say is LOL, keep doing your thing and let it slip!!!

Good thing 8 - Chelsea looking bored, poor, playing without passion and just like a team of players that are no longer interested. Keep it up!!!

Good thing 9 - Listening to old rave tapes that you used to love at school!!! Mickey Finn @ Helter Skelter Energy 99... good lord what a tape!!! Hahaha had a good little rave-up on my own the other day, oh the memories of parks and bongs lol :p

Good thing 10 - Uni starting again tomorrow - been so bored but looking forward to getting stuck back in (even if it is some pretty horrific sounding maths etc... should get the brain sharp again though!)

Good thing 11 - The Big Bottom Box Set!!! Bottom Live kills me every time, and having them all together is awesome!!! So glad I saw the final one live, wish they'd do more though :(

Good thing 12 - Call Of Duty 5 with friends on XBL - hahaha so funny!!! Love the Bouncing Bettys, too much fun as well as those great bastard moments... I never thought I'd have so much fun on there wearing a silly little headset but it's wicked and also a nice way to keep in touch with people too :)

Good thing 13 - Ram Trilogy - Molten Beats... what an album and still doesn't sound dated somehow... I think this is up there with my favourite albums of all time :)

Good thing 14 - HIP HOP IS STILL ALIVE IN 2009!!! Honestly, anything Statik Selektah is involved with is turning out incredible and it just gets better and better. Got loads to look forward to this year, including Termanology and Statik's 1982 album, Reks - More Grey Hairs, Statik's 3rd artist album, another Reks album too, new Granite State (!!!) and finally the one that really excites me is the thought of the Lil Fame (from MOP) and Termanology collaboration album. ShowOff Records is sooooo good right now, isn't it great to find a label that is prolific yet consistent with their quality too?!! Ahhh love it!!!

Good thing 15 - Finally, the fact that so many of my friends are getting such good success from their music and are pushing forward. My mate Phil signing a track to Shy FX's Digital Soundboy label for a 12", another mate getting some nice Radio 1 play, a few other friends still at the top of their game and broadening their horizons dipping into other music, it serves as nothing but inspiring for me and a constant reminder that with hard work anything is possible!!! Too much self doubt is a killer (and I am terrible for it) but just believe in yourself and be intelligent enough to realise what parts of your life and your game (whatever it may be) can be improved and sharpen them up :) Positivity 1, Negativity 0

G :)
