the dopest ghost in town.

so this week the north west has decided to fuck with our heads and go all tropical. i open my blinds in the morning to blissful sunshine ready to hit the park and by the time i'm having breakfast there'll be an ACTUAL THUNDERSTORM. this never happens around here. extremes of weather are not usually something you'll find in the north west (votes for extreme right-wing parties however...)

anyway this means i've not bothered braving the confusing, nasty outdoors, and instead found solace in the crumb-laden sheets of my ridiculously comfy bed and our best friend the internet. i thought i'd share my highlights of the past few days with you.

KIDS

this film is so fucking cool. ok its mostly about aids and nasty shit but it got me right in the mood for summer. now i just want to live in new york and chill with my homies on the park with blunts in rotation and skateboard all day. if someone could sort that out for me that would be excellent.

PLATFORM

ive spent a lot of time on this site the past couple of days. its basically like vice magazine except not as, ermmm, cunty (is that a word? it should be). still a few shit pretentious articles but the majority are genuinely funny and well written. here's a few personal favourites:

The Worst Feelings In The World

90s Kids Shows Were Scary

Staying In On The Internet

Things To Do Before You're 21

TOTALLY BONE

http://totallybone.blogspot.com/

a blog written by a friend of a friend and his girlfriend. loads of hilarious and intelligent articles and plenty of hatin' on american apparel, which can never be a bad thing. 

FLIP STUFF OFF

http://flipstuffoff.wordpress.com/

pretty self-explanatory really. simple but really makes me laugh!

LITERAL ALBUM COVERS

http://www.funnyordie.co.uk/blog/posts/15153

continuing the trend of simple silly things. pretty bloody funny though.

HOLLA DADDY

http://www.holladaddy.com/

winding people up on dating sites. i particularly recommend the first one (with victor). me and my mate jake did this once but went nowhere near the lengths this guy goes to. there really are some freeeeaks in the world. bit mean but fucking hilarious.

JAH RASTAFARI

this guy is classic. i don't think anybody has ever been quite as happy as him ever. a role model for us all.

again not much to say on this. just a few funny bits and pieces by mostly british comedians. check out his and matt berry's twitterband project. clever shit!

there's more but i'm getting bored. all i'll say is LISTEN TO GOLDEN SILVERS THEY WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE.
