The Second Coming

A Contemplative Panda

At some point between Christmas and rolling around on the floor in academic agony clutching revision notes and a truckload of comfort food, I suddenly had a realisation. And it wasn't that rotating any faster would give me horrendous carpet burns. Nor was it that gyrating my body any faster from side-to-side may somehow transport me into a separate dimension where the only exams that take place involve chugging beer or writing essays on why Adrian Chiles and Adele should be assassinated by means of a funnel and an endless supply of liquidised cake; it was that something was missing from my life.

I'm not really a sentimental person, which is why this took me by surprise. Don't get me wrong, I appreciate tokens of effort: like someone buying me a pint, or any standard baby attempting to walk without looking like a drunken adult, but I just don't see the point in holding onto things that were part of a former you. It's harsh, I know. Anyway, I suddenly realised that what I was missing was writing and making videos, and the feeling I got when people were actually entertained by my general ethos of computing pretty much everything I think via this blog. And I let you guys down. I know I did.

So that's why I'm back; think of it as The Second Coming...minus the whole Jesusness, but plus dancing Chihuahuas...yes, there will be dancing Chihuahuas. Be prepared to be amazed, be prepared to be astounded, and you should probably prepare to be a little bit sickened...probably. Watch this space!

In the meantime, have a gander at this by Friendly Fires. They are honestly one of the great alternative bands, in my opinion, of the past 5 years and this is a track that has been firmly wedged between my ears for the last half a year or so:
