Chris' Little Blog

Hello children

2007-06-25T21:52:00.000+01:00

hello one and all i have obviously lost my mind as i have decided to start a new blog in welsh so if you can't read welsh, well you won't understand it but you can still check it out and look at the pretty pictures (work in progress) and if you do speak welsh then you probably will just laugh at my grammer etc, comments tips are welcome (except for "you're crap, just give up, that may not be appreciated".)
there has a lot happened in the last few days, more than i thought of so this may take longer than planned and i don't have longer than planned, oh well let's see

June 9th Parent's 25th wedding bash
My parents have been married 25 years, crazyness, and on the 9th we had a party (i like parties) there may soon be pics up on the web, i've just been busy alright. but yeah: food, music, tent, drink it was good fun.

June 13th Cymbeline
Shakespeare's most well known play, it was very well done by the cheek in jowl theatre company (named after the quote from midsummer nights dream) who transformed the massive theatre in the barbican centre into a studio space for this show, it was really well done.

June 14th - 19th Hannah's trip to london
Hannah came to london it was too long ago now for me to remember but i do remember going to thorpe park, giraffe,james' park the south bank centre (com plete with water feature)

china town, trafalgar sq. science and natural history museums.

June 18th - 23rd - BLT Lighting.
from the 18th to the 23rd i volunteered to light the Bromley little theatre's show of once a catholic, which was very funny and kept me entertained in my little box, pictured left. My brother was in the play and said they needed a lighting man so i stepped forwards, and it was good fun. apparently i'm doing the sound for the next one, and training someone up. sounds like fun.

June 23rd - midsummer night's dream
One of shakespeare's lesser known plays the dream focusses on two young couples and a band of players and their mis-focussed loves due to some fairies. all in all a good show and being in the open air theatre i was a bit worried about the rain, but it held off so it was a dry show as well bonus.

June 20th - present - Triple E
I am once again back working at Triple E which is emmence fun assembling metals.

right i'm off to bed now, g'night.
Chris

Hello

Biggin Hill Air Fair.

Today, and yesterday, was the Biggin Hill air fair where the RAF show off their planes. It was quite amazing even though i was a few miles away from the action. I took a load of photos though like the one pictured here (follow the flickr link to see the rest).

The Tent Event.

All this week my parent's church did an event in coney hall rec under a giant tent it was quite amazing, even if i did only catch the last day. Tomorrow i said i'd help take the massive tent down so i need to leave the house at 6:30, that should be fun.

Going to Bed.

On that last point of getting up early I therefore need to go to bed, which i shall do. Night all.

Chester Zoo. (aka. A Giraffe, A Giraffe, A Giraffe)

2007-05-29T00:17:00.000+01:00

Intro.

Hello Guy and Dolls, Princes and Princesses, Llamas and Ducks. (i think next time i'm reading to a welsh child who is learning animals i may listen to how they say Llama, could be interesting). welcome once again to this fine blog of mine.

Chester Zoo.

Today, which was Bank Holiday monday, I went, with the church to Chester Zoo, it was quite fun there are photos on my Flickr account for you to peruse, feel free to comment there or here, i'm quite easy going on such things. As photography seems to have become a hobby of mine i urge you to check out the other photos there if you haven't already and do the check out thing, i wonder, getting back to a zoo themed blog, what would happen if the zebras walked into the giftshop and concequently walked pasted the checkouts thus getting scanned, the best answers i have so far heard to this are:

The machine would display Zebra (simple, yet effective)

The machine would display Kill

The Machine would display Meat, Dinner

if you feel these are not sufficient to meet your zebra scanning requirements please feel free to comment your suggestions on what the checkout machines should be programmed to read when a zebra is scanned.
So today was fun i walked round a zoo with Hannah, I was taking photos and she was talking to animals, who in turn were ignoring her (I will add at this point that it is quite hard to concentrate on taking a photo when all you can hear, in you ear is a teenager saying to animals in a voice she must have borrowed from a passing seven year old: "Biscuit, biscuit do you want a biscuit, i don't think he wants a biscuit."). I would list all the animals we saw but that would take ages and your better going to their website and assuming we saw everything. but to name a few, for those who will not visit the website, we saw. Lions (sleeping), Giraffes, Penguins, Bear, Jaguars Rhinos, marmots, KOMODO DRAGONS and there also was a small shrine / statue / display dedicated to my favorite animal ever: The Dodo.
Right as today has become tomorrow i should bed as today, which used to be tomorrow, requires lots of revision as does wednesday for my exam thursday 9.30 in the morning.
so i shall bid you fare well

Rawr (this is what the lion would have said had he (or possibly she) been awake)
Night
Chris

ooh there was also a bat cave thing where you walked around and the bats could fly free, that was quite interesting.

Hello World (did you miss me?)

2007-05-27T08:46:00.000+01:00

Right i figure facebook is not enough to keep the world up to date with the goings-on of my brain and in my life so i thought i'd start this up again, however i'll probably run out of inspiration again and get bored, anywho. I am now at the end of my first year Drama degree at the University of Wales, Aberystwyth (Prifysgol Cymru Aberystwyth) there is one exam left on the 31st, ie thursday. woo then summer, not that i've got much planned for the summer.

So i'll quickly fill you in on my itinerary for today, then i must go and do it; firstly i'm off to church where the wonderful steve coleman-williams is having his head shaved off for charity, hee hee don't worry richard, pictures will follow. After which wonderous events the church are having a picnic and as i can't be bothered, and don't have tasty enough ingredients to make sandwiches, i'm going to buy a subway, cheating? probably but hey.

right i'm off now, back soon
Chris

Hello

2005-06-07T23:40:00.000+01:00

Richard has taken me off his blog links on the basis that i don't blog enough to be cool in his books, but i don't think i'm going to appologise for having a life.
anyway after reading jess' blog and some of bod's i took the same insanity test as they did and here are my scores, worrying;

Disorder Rating
Paranoid: High
Schizoid: Low
Schizotypal: Very High
Antisocial: High
Borderline: Very High
Histrionic: High
Narcissistic: High
Avoidant: Very High
Dependent: Very High
Obsessive-Compulsive: High

i wonder if i should be worried about this at all

oh well never mind eh?

anyway that's all i came on to say

i'm off to bed now night night
*chris*

saw this and thought of you

2005-05-17T13:08:00.000+01:00

Jess needs to know

2005-03-06T18:30:00.000Z

Hey guys jess:

see you all later
*chris*

Driving me mad

2004-12-08T18:21:00.000Z

Hello all my energy to go christmas shopping in bromley has been exhausted, so i'm sitting here at my desk with a carton of pineapple juice and a large pot noodle waiting for a meeting to start

hmm yes so i don't really know what to say as i've been out of the habit of doing this for some time but the important things are i passed my driving test the day before yesterday which is all fairly scary also i re arranged the telephones in my office today and have completed all my work for the week so i need to use my brain tomorrow as to what to do but i'm sure i'll find some work to do

my brother and a load of my mates got confirmed the other night which was funky and groovy if you don;t know confirmation is an anglican thingy where you get up infront of the whole church and say yeah i want to do it i want to live my life for jesus. and it's all brill

oh well i only really came to tell you i can drive as everyone seems to think i kept it quiet so now i can just say 'didn't you read it on my blog?'

Person X, Me, My Dad And I

2004-10-25T15:49:00.000+01:00

'ello people,
it seems to me that "I Haven't blogged in ages" seems to be such a common expression in this virtual world of blogging and from studying closely its useage i find that it resembles new years resolutions the realisation of how the individual has not blogged for a considerable amount of time and from this realisation will atempt to put things right but more often than not, won't, like i say it is the same problem most people have with new years resolutions. infact there is one person i know who is perticularly bad at keeping her blog, oh maybe i don't need to reveal her gender, err so yeah this person is perticularly bad at keeping their blog up to date so if you see them just say Je....maybe i shouldn't say their name as she'll kill me so how about initials hmm maybe not,,,,,i know their initials backwards like some kind of spy code yeah that will, will, oh no that won't work anyway if you see this person say to them 'hi person X why have you not blogged in ages'

it has been a fairly strange week as most weeks are, i got a phone call from my girlfriend last night but i don't remember it, i remember that she called and that i talked to her which i suppose is a step forwards from what i've been doignto my other friend who has been calling me at rediculous hours of the day who i've picked up the phone to and instead of talking just showed the phone under my pillow so all i know is i wake up with my phone under my pillow and a recieved call at about 3 in the morning madness. but to Jess at least i picked up the phone, i think but i can't wait to talk to her about it because i really have no idea so hey that's that.
I have also discovered that i'm turning into my father, for a while now i've sounded like him when on the telephelone and yesterday i was making a seasoning for the guacemole and trying to think of a container to put it in and he was chuckling away to himself to which i enquired why he was laughing and his reply was that he'd have been doing the same thing in the situation 19 years ago so there you go like father like son. i think my dad's really cool so i'm on a good track
anyway i am now going to go out and get some fruit see you all soon
chris

Chris Stewart? who's he?

2004-09-24T13:43:00.000+01:00

When someone goes out of your life do you ever think what you'd say to them if you met them.
I had a friend, who went off to uni last year and i hadn't seen her since then but today i ran into her by the traffic lights in west wickham (a well known meeting place)
but it seems that she reappeared into my life after i had stopped missing her, so my thought for the day is if we have to stop missing people before we see them again are we prepared to give up the things we hold on to if to let them go will bring on a better future?

any way enuff of that i went a bit strange there but the music has now changed to something a bit more happy-'the killers' if you don't know them look them up 'somebody told me' is one of their best

so yeah, life! Life is good a new wave of people however are leaving my life :( Rach and sarah are off to Uni and probably a load of other people i've forgotten my little girlfriend is off to madagascar in Jan/Feb
so yeah life is more kinda strange at the moment i think meeting my old friend has knocked my mind into a silly mood

I REMEMBER!!
i remember what i was going to tell all you pretty people, i went looking for 'chris stewart' on google today which i'd never done, dunno why, anyway i found allsorts of interesting things apparently I have a book out called 'Driving over lemons' which now i think about it is probably what i would have called it so well done chris stewart, and i also found many other things but the most interesting of all is that Genesis's's original drummer was called,
Wait for it,
Can you guess,
yes you got it
Chris stewart

now from deeper research i found that chris stewart was the drummer not for genesis but for the band they formed out of 'the garden wall' bad career move

any way i should go and carry on tidying my room
later on
*Chris stewart* (the original Chris Stewart)

Goth Bands Cont.

2004-09-14T23:53:00.000+01:00

hey guys i thought i'd write this in a new post 'it just seemed easier'
last time jess asked who london after midnight were and i am here to tell you they are an american band who started in about 1990 and are still going strong to my knowledge there website is www.londonaftermidnight.com

and Richard, yeah he kinda looks like Mark Watson

anyway i should go to bed
love to all
chris

Goth band

2004-09-02T21:31:00.000+01:00

hello just a quick one i'll probably expand on this subject later but i just thought i'd let all you people know that out of shear bordem at 930 i took a which goth band are you test and i got:

You're Bauhaus, the grandfather's of goth. You
probably don't call yourself a goth...but that
just makes you cooler. Nice boots, by the way
}:)

Bauhaus, fantastic, old school

see y'all soon
christy

2004-07-24T16:59:00.000+01:00

bonjour mon petit legumes

hope you are all groovy
tomorrow is the set up day for soul in the city and this house is manic with preparations
oh but we did get to go to a wedding the wedding of my good friends paul and heather which was very nice

Bod (my brother) has bought himself one of the saddest things i have ever seen an offline blog where he can blog to himself when he doesn't have access to a computer so he can upload it later madness(in my opinion).
for the last couple of days we've been going door to door and putting leaflets through peoples doors i think we chose the hottest day to do that

Appologies camping and sisters

2004-07-19T20:36:00.000+01:00

hello my groovy friends and people i don't know alike

i must appologise for my lack of posts over the last however long as my girlfriend has been out of the country and this was one of the few ways we could let each other know what's going on so sorry jessie cran

any who yes i have just returned from SPREE a weekend away for the crusaders group and met a whole load of groovy mad people (just the kind i like) if you want to know more just email me

anywho yeah a while back about 2 years i met my mate's girlfriend and she was the coolest person ever (still is) i haven't seen her in ages and today out of the blue she walked in to my work it was the best shock i've had in ages . she is my twin sister not for biological reasons but rather for we were born in the same hospital and are so similar in character and such things but i just thought i'd tell you all how overjoyed i was to see her today so hello to her

um yeah i'm really tired so i don't think i'm going to write anymore tonight
see yall soon

love
*chris*

2004-07-19T20:26:00.000+01:00

hello guys this is a coment i made on my brothers blog in reply to a sarcastic sounding post he made about soul in the city

yo yo me chicken bleds
soul in the city is such an amazing thing, here tell you what lets take the religion out of it for a second
You have got 30,000 people coming to your city for two weeks and are going to be going around brixton and lewisham and orpington and bromley and makeing a change tidying stuff making run down parks and youth centre fit for use again helping people put a smile on kids faces and so many more things
doesn't that sound appealing to you
ok three years ago they sent about 1000 people to manchester and the crime commited from that week onwards and to my knowledge is 5% of what it was before, this guys is the most crime ridden area in the UK and the crime was reduce to nothing in comparison
in a weeks time 30 times that amount will be coming here can you imagine London with no crime? London with a smile on it's face if it takes the satanists to do this isn't that a step forwards if it takes the Jehova's witness'es then i'm well up for that and if it's the christians well obviously as one i'm slightly biased but i feel they are the people who can pull it off, if they get off their asses and do what Jesus told them to do 'everyone knows what the church is against but this summer lets show people what the church is for that teh church is for loving people for helping people for listening to people and that we need to show a genuine love and commitment to the people we meet
i think i've ranted long enuff i might put this on my blog any way let me end with a joke
what do you do to reduce the crime in an estate in manchesteranswer: bring down a thousand christians
hope this was all understood
love
*chris*

The Ball, Magic and plants

2004-07-02T16:21:00.000+01:00

*Jess didn't do anything radical to her hair :)
and so on

at the top of this post there is a photo of the gang there are more photos to follow

there was also a magician there who was very good he had his routine polished even if i already knew the tricks :)

Today my mother and i went to wisley one of the RHS's gardens and it was all very pretty and we did some drawing and i bought some cacti (cactuses)

well i have to go now i've got a youth event to go to see you all soon bye for now

Lynard skynard, free bird and the promise of CHAMPAGNE!

2004-06-30T23:51:00.000+01:00

Hello world
I'm not in a great mindset just now i seem to have enough presure on me i feel like my head's going to explode. Mostly a really lifechanging decision i need to make is F*****G my brain royaly any who enough of my pain lets have the happy chris back again i might shange the track, i'm currently listening to free bird by lynard skynard and i think i need something a little more upbeat un moment sil vous plait

ahh that's a bit better for my mood nemo nightwishes new track anywho the Ball, woo i am tommorow going to the JAGS school ball wit Jessy-cran and i don't think my head will survive but i'll go and have some fun as per normal it is far too organised for my likeing (it's too late to spell things correctly) personally i prefer just going to the pub and just chilling for the evening but no we are going by limo which will be an experience then champagne then everything else is a blur and i have no idea what is gonna happen so i'm just gonna ride it (surfing term)
but i think what annoys me most is that all my sugestions have been brutely rejected i said i should:
pin my hair up
Paint my nails to match her dress
and many more
and they all were turned down with a stern look >:-@

anywho i've got a suit hanging up somewhere and i must remember to take my shoes to work tommorrow or all will be DOOMED argh

anyboing like i say my head has got too much buzzing round inside of it so i'm going to go and sleep and see if i can loose some pain

see y'all soon

At The Moment There is no title it might change when i've finished

2004-06-26T15:28:00.000+01:00

Hey all

i've just caught up on the blog world and read all my friends recent posts and since looking around the world has seemed not to have changed as i thoght it had but rather my mind has been distracted for the last 6 months and now looking back on it the world seems overall like a rubbish place with wars and death and murderers and the type font algerian (the most discusting font in the world) and Moths and worst of all distrust

so what has enticed these statements you might ask well i'll try and tell you, no i wont sorry i've just had a thought (if you feel really lost don't worry anyone else reading probably is too as this is just pouring into my head and i'm just typing) so instead i will talk about..er..SEX no that'sprobably not a good idea either hey i know you guys could do us a f(l)avour if you are reading this just drop us a line tell me who you are and maybe something about you I dont know just for fun either comment after this post or there is a link to my email address in the LINKS section

and in return i'll tell you something about me
well my Name is Chris stewart and i live in Bromley just south of london i like most kinds of music with a slight lean towards rock, My favorite kind of food is mince and tatties (mushed potatoes) i work for a media company making radio shows and the like, i play the piano and the guitar (neither very well) i am growing my hair long on the basis that i prefer the lookand i can't stand having anything artificial in my hair (gel, Wax Dye Anything) except hairbands i can deal with them, i own a car that i can't legally drive yet, i have a small girlfriend called jess she's a true fruitloop 'honey nut loops lets loop together' and i used to work in a graveyard. hmm i'm just thinking through who'll be reading this and trying to think of something that you all don't know (that i can also safely publish on the internet) no i can't think of anything really well anything that wont insult people so i'll move on

we have a paper towel dispenser in our kitchen that dispenses paper towels and i forgot how quickly this thing opens so this morning when putting paper towels in it it broke (oops) sorry dad i didn't mean i am i forgiven. i think that's a real stitch up you know coz people go on kilroy and opera (not the opera) and all these jerry springer type programs and ask if they are forgiven but i think thats really silly coz if i was in the forgivers place i dont think, however i felt, that i could give an completely honest answer or more to the point i feel the answer wouldn't be the same as if i was at home coz you have got 40000 people watching approx. and however strongly you feel about something there will be a point of i don't perticularily want to look like a tit on national TV

anyway i think i've written far too much i've got to go and get ready i'm going out for dinner with some mates as it is a load of people's birthdays and i've only got 2.5 hours to get ready

love to all see ya soon

PS don't forget to contact me cheers

oh i've just remembered that i was going to try and end this with a list of groovy things to counter the ones at the begining but now i can't be bothered really if you want to know the world is truly a great place go and look at a plant but look at it properly you will learn something, or phone a friend you haven't seen and meet up with them or watch you favorite feel good movie (mine's love actually, so there you are something you probably didn't know) or if that all fails just smile in the mirror and think you are who you are because you were meant to be who you are meant to be
love and kisses
Chris

Yeah man Bowling is the best thing ever (after children of course) we went bowling and I have quite obviously lost the knack the first game i came 3rd (which is only really 2nd as we had a pro with us i don't think he should count) so yeah on my part it was an appauling show of how bad i'd got but they did bring us all food, Marvelous my speciality,

i've been listening to nightwish a lot recently if you don't know them you should they are excellent it's a heavy rock set up with Tarja Turunen (who's birthday is 2 days after mine he he he and my girlfriend thinks she dresses cool so it's all good) who sings with a classically trained opera voice sounds brilliant check it out
www.nightwish.com
Songs to look out for:
~ over the hills and far away (this song has inspired me to learn the piano again)
~ Fantasmic
~ Nemo
~ Dead to the World
~ Wanderlust

i have stopped writing that list as i'm just going to name all their songs so anyway yeah that's about it really oh jelly and ice cream is cool Tarja's fit and the sun is shining oh and england lost the footy :(

by for now

Chris

From Work

2004-06-12T12:45:00.000+01:00

Hi there i would say i'm sitting at my desk writing this but i'm not as no one has yet given me the internet but don't fret i am not slacking off it is my day off i'm here waiting for a meeting to begin and just enjoying the feel of the fans in my face. For those of you that don't know i work underground, not in a mine, but a media company and we hire out a room from a church so i am sitting here in a basement talking to y'all, in case you don't know this is what i do (intresting facts)

Audio tape mastering 29hours
Audio recording 3hrs
Radio programme 13 hours
audio/pa maintenance 5 hours
Display boards 18hrs
booklet 29hrs
outside customers 6hrs
Admin/meetings 2hrs

That is apparently the breakdown of the work i do in a month and where does the time go?

Everyone's out to get me (must be said in a very paraniod voice)

2004-06-11T12:19:00.000+01:00

hello again world i have decided to believe the world is out to get me my brother is more obsessed with the internet than I. He has got a blog somewhere in hyperspace i'll put it in my links in a minute but anyway all his likkle friends also have blogs now the Bod (my bro) has influenced my girlfriend to get a blog but more than this she has hidden it from me Shocking listen

Why? Because certain people should not know about it.
Chris - another good reason for not letting Richard know about this...Chris will now think I'm sadder than ever (sorry my dear - when you read this - I love you x)

but we still like her Kinda

anyway i'm off now just thought i'd let you all know i am a typical Bloke who gets very upset when left out of the loop
