Magpies ought to be extinct

I'm a fan of the footy team, not the animal. The damn things keep swooping me on the way to school. One in some park about 2 ks away from home, which because of I have taken to riding on the narrowest of two way roads for a couple of hundred meters. Though that's not too bad. further down at a main intersection, there is one really disgruntled magpie that insists on flying out of its way to swoop me about 5 or 6 times, following me for quite a while down the path, clipping at my ears on every swoop. The other day it actually hit me in the back of the head and if it weren't for my helmet I'd be bleeding. Trust me, I've been hit in the back of the head by a magpie before and its not pretty - felt like a rock the size of my fist and drew some nasty blood. Bleh. should report them to the council and get 'em to get rid of them. Just this morning, when i was riding to school i actually went on the other side of the road, another 50 or so meters away from this damn magpie and it still decides to follow and swoop me, even though I was under the roofs of the shops beside me. 

Anyways, been doing quite a bit to do with music recently, if you haven't noticed by now, I have put up some links to some of my song prototypes, and will be putting up more in the future if they continue to get listens. I play in a church band, which isn't too bad, but we play very low-key songs and mostly acoustic... and since i play lead electric guitar, I find it very dull. But, just the other day I got invited by a friend to start up a band. Again, probably nothing too exciting, since it'd mostly be rap/pop/pop-rock and covers of songs, but oh well, anything to get me writing music and actually playing ^_^ so that will be good.

So yeah, just here a school in the morning writing down my thoughts. nothing that exciting at the moment. I guess I will go continue this post at home.

......

*huff huff* god riding home is annoying. I ride to and from school if you haven't gathered by now, and its about 7ish k's each way, bout 30-40 minutes up and down hills T_T ugh it gets exhausting.

But anyway, so I've been reading this webcomic series for roughly 3-4 years now, and its absolutely BRILLIANT I just have to share it. Its called Least I Could Do, been going since 2003, though I find it was best from 2005, specifically when Las Desouza started as the artist. If you're going to check it out (which I highly reccommend), start from the start, since you will then get a better understanding of a lot of the references made later, and of reccurring events and characters. just remember it gets better from 2005. There's a lot of comics though, so don't go at it half heartedly, since it updates every day since 2003 (though only recently sunday as well)

So yeah, thats it from me I guess,,

Oh, and if any of you know anyone who would be into reading blogs or whatever, don't hesitate to point them in my direction. I'd love the attention and any more readers would be greatly appreciated. Once I have a few more then I'll get into putting up more songs, info about my one-man-band project, reviews and all that jazz.

Signing off,
