'"Don't know?"
"No, I don't know. I never see any difference in boys. I only know two sorts of boys. Mealy boys, and beef-faced boys."
"And which is Oliver?"
"Mealy. I know a friend who has a beef-faced boy; a fine boy, they call him; with a round head, and red cheeks, and glaring eyes; a horrid boy; with a body and limbs that appear to be swelling out of the seams of his blue clothes; with the voice of a pilot, and the appetite of a wolf. I know him! The wretch!"'

Charles Dickens, Oliver Twist.

THE POLICE ARE BACK!

WOW! I am so excited. Not only do we have tickets to see Genesis in Manchester in the summer, but now the Police are touring this year aswel! Hehe! WOW, I would LOVE to see them, that would be amazing. Two of my fave bands I thought would never be seen on tour again, are back! I bet the tickets will go extremely quick, so if anyone wants to buy me a rather generous birthday present, Police tickets wouldn't go a miss.

It's amazing how many people believe that Elvis Presley is still allive. There is an actually a religion and everything. SO strange. I read an article about how this guy thought he had seen him in a unrinal in Florida or somewhere. 'Elvis' denied that he was in fact Elvis Presley, but the witness thought he was joking and assumed that he was being sarcastic when he said his name was Ted. That must be a joke, right? The guy was really serious, and sent in his picture and everything!

'Moon S. Duepre, a former railroad track walker, was looking for root berries in a field outside the town of Midlothian when he spied a man he was certain was Elvis stepping into an abandoned old schoolhouse. "I know it was him, because he had a cape on and white satin pants with bell bottoms and lots of them spangle things that catch the sun and glitter sewed onto them pants," said Duepre. When he approached the building Duepre said he heard "a voice humming the strains of that Hunka Hunka Love song. There was no mistaking that voice. It was Elvis's sound. I went in the door real fast and surprised Elvis. He said he had just gone in there to find some momentary relief and asked me to respect his privacy. I told him I surely would because I truly had respect for him and his kind. He said he appreciated that and to thank me I could pick up a new Cadillac automobile at the Midlothian dealership, which I did the next day and put 214,000 miles on it before it quit on me.'

MAD, i tell you, MAD!

Well, on this day, in 1984, NASA astranaut Bruce McCandless performed the first untethered spacewalk using a Manned Manuevering Unit (what ever that is!) Mmmm, how interesting.

Did you also know that on the 17th of March, 1845, the rubber band was invented. Thats my birthday.

President Eisenhower signed a National Security Council directive on the anti-Cuban covert action program which lead to the Bay of Pig invasion, also on my birthday. The Cold War is allways interesting. (In 1960, by the way).

Serial killer Richard Ramirez, the "Night Stalker", commits his first two murders in Los Angeles, California murder spree. Also on my birthday.

I share my birthday with Nat King Cole ans Justin Hawkins. How cool. YOUR REALLY GROWING ON MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
