Here is what I have been doing over these past few days, DAHM INTERESTING STUFF IN THIS...probably.
Well I shall tell you what I have done.
1. Work... I think I'll just stop there.
2. Technically my first ever storytelling gig. Last Saturday I travelled with my storytelling brothers and sisters to Nottingham to tell stories at a fete. I told a story called 'The story of the Blacksmith"....by far one of my favourite stories ever, everyone usually loves that one. Another story I told lasted only five minutes called "Pippedy Pew."
Pippedy Pew
Me Mammy me slew
Me Daddy me ate
Me sister Kate,
Gathered up the banes
And put them between two milk white stains
And a bird I flew sing Pippedy Pew.
All in all a beautiful day. Also we could get free bacon cobs (rolls) because we were the entertainment. At the end I bought a toffee apple but I lost it for some unknown reason.
2. Filming. On Sunday I took part in a film about the Perv Busters.
Have you ever heard of the perv busters before?.....No.....ok, this is quite awkward...shall I tell you what the perv busters are?....oh alright then I will. (All of this part of this blog is entirely fictional because I wasn't actually questioning you. I was going to write about what the perv busters anyway...forgive me.)
What's going on? Oh yeah. The perv busters are a creation of my fellow Derby university brothers who film short clips. The perv busters are people that basically bust pervs, going to their houses and unperving them. The pervs tend to throws spoons and breath loudly... think of it a a zombie type film except zombies are replaced with perverts (the good, comical type pervert.) But don't worry because it is as crazy as it sounds, so it is definetly thoroughly entertaining.
3. I have also been doing other activities. The usual stuff. Ummm... doing cart wheels off sky scrapers, throwing jam at cash machines...the usual, boring stuff that everyone gets up to.
This blog looks like it's going to be a long one. Sorry.......and by sorry I mean I suggest that you get a longer attention span.
(Why do I always sound really mean in my blogs...it's meant to sound vaguely humorous. My severe apologizations.)
Over and Out.

P.S I just read through this post. It sounds weird and written badly...please read it anyway or summing or nuffing.

Long time, no post Ed!!!......music.
I wanna talk about the music that I have been listening to recently. I could talk about the coursework that I have been doing but I am having a break from that by writing this blog... and I can't guarantee that you will be interested in my research so I thought I will talk about music because everybody loves a bit of music in their life.
Righto the first artist I shall talk about is a sixties looking rock chick called Lissie. I happened to find out about her music while I was browsing on youtube for a good old tune. The first thing that I noticed was her voice (obviously) as it was quite gravelly. I quite like gravelly voices, they tend to suit folky/rocky type songs. She is travelling about Britain at the moment with some other musician who I can't be bothered to look up and remember. But anyway I found out that some time in the summer, August I believe, she will be in Leicester for some festival at the De Montfort Hall. I'll be in Leicester at the time but I'll have to see what happens.
...AAAnnnnd swiftly on to the second musician. Myself and my sister first saw this band when we watched Later with Jools Holland on BBC 2 just last night. They are called 'Villagers' but the focus seems to be the acoustic guitar player. From what I have learnt so far is that they are an Irish band who have represented Ireland in a festival that I can't remember. But they are really good. My sister and I can't stop listening to their song 'Becoming a Jackal.' They are on youtube if you wish to hear brilliance incarnate. I would post a link but this blog won't let me. Aw well sunny Jim.
Ummm I thought I was going to talk about another musician but I can't think of any more. Actually I will say that over these last few weeks I have been listening to different music than I used to. For about two years now I have mostly been listening to rock, punk, metal, 60's and 70's music and acoustic bands. But recently I have been branching out to other types of music that I originally never would have thought of listening to. But one thing is for sure. I will never EVER get into gangster rap. The only things that I discriminate against in this life is gangster rap, those retarded N'Dubz morons, chavs, The Office USA, Life on Mars USA, Law and Order UK and baked beans.
And on that angry sounding bomb shell (I'm not angry at the moment by the way, the words just make he suggestion that I am) I bid you adieu dear reader of this blog.
