I've decided I want to be a photographer

Here are some photo's from a variety of pretty fields in which I allmost definitely shouldn't of been...

I think the photos look nicer with writing in between so here are some lovely song lyrics that don't relate to the pictures in the slightest way, shape or form...
"You know I cherish you my love"
The Libertines, Time for heroes

"I'm a brand new sky, to hang the stars upon tonight"
Foo Fighters, Times like these

"To die by your side is such a heavenly way to die"
The Smiths, There is a light that never goes out

"Alarm bells ring when you say your heart still sings when you're with me"
The Libertines, Music when the lights go out

"Every time we kiss it's like an inside joke I allways miss"
Black Kids, I've underestimated my charm again

"I said you were special, you know that I meant it"
Maximo Park, Now I'm all over the shop

Cycling In The Rain

I'm eating cheerios [they are amazing], looking at old photos of Christams and listening to the Foo Fighters album 'In Your Honour' *Lyric Of The Day: "Dancing on the bones of my dirty past" ..that combination makes me feel rather happy- plus Dave Grohl and Taylor Hawkins are gorgeous!



Anyway, moving on from that ridiculousness to Nick Grimshaw- I absolutetly adore him, I think he's a complete love, not to mention his wonderfull accent and his friendship with Henry Holland
[Whom I fancy the pants off, even though I know he's gay]



Anyway, whilst listening to Grimmy's excellent interiew with the Klaxons (oioi) I decided to do a bit of Google Image stalking and came across an adorable photo of him riding a woman's vintage bike. I know he may not look his very, very best but how fantastic are his boots and wicker basket!?,,,



So partialy inspired by that beauty, but mainly because I quite fancied an AC/DC album, I decided to cycle to my local library, also in a black and white stripy top-cause I'm so rock n roll- really it's cause 1 CD's only like 98p and three are £1.50- bargain! And I think my lovely bicycle needs more public airing, I do allways feel like I should be transporting ET in the basket though...



So I was happily cycling along by the sea in a retro Damon Albarn style jacket and sparkly shoes, when it started to rain. It got heavier and heavier then pretty soon I realised I was practically stuck in a torrential downpour, not good. I arrived at the calm and quiet library, after having to shamefully push my bike up a very lighty steep 'ramp' in a cocophony of drenched, flustered, fustrated and quite frankly, embarrased mess then having to discretely check my homeless dog type reflection, in the back of a Red Hot Chili Peppers CD for dribbled mascara. Deary me. I decided to stay to try and dry off and wait for the rain to stop- it didn't. So I looked at the September Issue of Vogue, glanced at Q magazine and read an old Nirvana interview. It turned out to be rather enjoyable because there was a cute old lady sheltering from the 'monsoon' who kept giggling at a 'Things That Grumpy Old Men Do' book... and I think I fancy Kate Moss.



After years of hating her I've decided she's amazing at her job, allthough her mouth is allways slightly open, it is a good pose, I'm not sure if I've ever seen a bad photo of her and she's able to make girls want to wear the clothes she does- when she does decide to get dressed- and I can't not mention her spectacular taste in men- Pete Doherty and Johnny Depp <3
She's naturally beautiful, has lovely hair and must be everywhere for a reason.



I can't explain my jelousy. On a final note- Freja Beha is my new favourite model, I just can't get enough. She has a brilliant mouth and I love the way she stares into the camera like a lost child, she is able to make anything look good with her face and hair alone. Basically she's hot stuff!



And after Google Image stalking Pete Dohery, again, I discovered he went out with [or is going out with?] the model Irina Lazareanu, who I have loved for ages just without knowing anything about her, lucky lucky. I really like her innocent and fragileness...



And finally, if any of you like lips, polaroids, friends and bedrooms- your in luck...
Because I found a wonderful website thingy http://bit.ly/9PhBUy
Sorry this blog was so outrageously long! And cheesey.

About a Boy

I saw someone wearing a cream trench coat! It was beautiful. I don't know if I was happier about that or the fact that a resident of Whitley Bay wasn't just dressed in leggings and a vest! After that incident all I've thought about is how much I love trench coats, acctually, I would say it was more of a mac [if there's that much of a difference] ...he was like a walking Burberry advert, but indie! To be honest his hair was amazing aswell, perhaps the best I've ever seen. I think I might be a bit in love- his coat blew me away as much as it drew me in <3



...& then a few days later [5 to be precise] this mystery boy struck again! This time in Co-Op. I didn't think it possible but he somehow managed to look even better- this time he was wearing skinny jeans, black pointy shoes [somehow a medium between brouges and boots- I know: amazing!] and a lovely navy blue jacket [I've convinced myself it was similar to those of The Libertines] anyway he was buying humous and doritos. All I can say is oooft.



And now these lovely coats won't stop following me and I managed to find one in H&M for £30, here I comee! well, if I have money. Anyway, I ended up making a collage because Vogue was practically full of pictures of em!

Lyrics/ Photos of the day

I'm starting to really love Placebo, the singers voice is remarkable 'cause it has such a distinctively unique sound, I've only listened to the 'Meds' album a few times but think it's incredibly thrashy yet equally heartfelt and the lyrics are brilliant. This one from 'Drag' came across as someting that is very, very nice:
"I just gotta get off my chest, that I think you’re divine. You’re always ahead of the rest, while I drag behind"



Radiohead- I absolutetly love them- lots and lots. I know this might sound cheesy but I think they're music is completly mesmerising and simply gorgeous but it's also edgy and really powerful. I need to talk about they're 'In Rainbows' album- even though I don't own all the albums in the world and ashamingly, the only other Radiohead one's I have listened to are the Greatest Hit's and a little bit of Ok Computer [I also haven't really thought about any other albums to include in this- beacuse there are far too many wonderful ones] so I am totally biased, and I need to listen to more Radiohead but personally, I just think it has to be one of the best albums in the world. I manage to love it more and more everytime I only hear one song from it- probably because every single one is completetly beautiful. [The lovely begininng of Reckoner, the wonderful lyrics to All I Need and really just all of Jigsaw Falling Into Place]
The only way the album can be given justice and be explained to someone who hasn't heard it, is if they just sit down and really listen to it, because it will be worth it. Here is a lovely line from Videotape...
"You're my centre when I spin away"    



These photos I took have absolutetly no corralation with what I was talking about what-so-ever, I just thought they made the blog look prettier than if there was nothing there =)

Gaga

I know I probably shouldn't fancy Lady Gaga as much as I do but...
her hair does look fantastically attractive here:

I've just got a thing for black and white photography- I think it's beautiful

Lyric of the day

My mum's I-pod was on shuffle in the front room today and Faithless came on so I thought hey- lyric of the day! initially 'We Come One' popped into my head...
"All the subtle flavors of my life have become bitter seeds and poisoned leaves without you. I drain the colour from the sky and turn blue without you"
That's really beautiful but possibly a bit of a mouthfull for my simple 'lyrics of the day' so instead, here is a simpler and more minimal handfull yet still very lovely...
"You're the sun to me" <3
