A little about me.

Firstly, welcome to my blog. And, yes. You can pretty much assume this will be the usual, quite typical first post of any new blogger. 

It seems as though everybody has a blog these days, and whilst it's fair to say that's an exaggeration, it does seem as though most people I actually know have one. So, it feels as though it's time for me to get started. It's something I've wanted to do for a while now, and I'm talking years, so god only knows why it's taken me this long to get going. I guess it must be all this free time I now suddenly have, time that I'm still not used to. Who knows!  

With a bit of luck, this should be fun, and exciting, and interesting, and expressive and everything else blogging is all about. We'll have to see, but I'm looking forward to keeping this going.  


So you may or may not want to know a bit about me. To be quite honest, there isn't a great deal to know, but here goes:

My name is Anthony Belcher. I'm pretty tall. Or at least everyone seems to think so. I'm from a small town in the middle of nowhere called New Ollerton where I currently live with my mum, brother and sister. I'm eighteen years old, soon to be nineteen. And, all things permitted, I'm currently about to take what will quite possibly be the biggest step of my life so far and move to Lincoln to go to university (more about that at a later date.) 

I've got great family, great friends and the most incredible girlfriend who means more to me than I think you could possibly imagine.

I play the bass guitar and have done so for over five years now, as well as a little bit of piano, a little bit of guitar, double bass, drums, and a few notes on the clarinet courtesy of my sister, haha. For the past two years I've played the bass in the school's various bands, which now that I'm finished with I miss so very much. But! Lincoln has an orchestra society, so hopefully I'll still be able to get my big band fix. I've also been informed of a cheese and wine society, so hey. Can't complain.  

MOVING ON. 

I also play in a small band with my friend Jack and his older brother Lee, and we've got our first gig in a couple of weeks, so I'm looking forward to that. My music interest varies. A lot. I'm not even kidding. For example, my iTunes ranges from bands like ABBA and Spandau Ballet, to bands such as Slayer and Iron Maiden and pretty much anything and everything in between to be honest. But, if it's from the 80s you can pretty much guarantee I'll like it.  

I swear I don't belong in this decade.  

My favourite film of all time has to be Back to the Future. Followed by the two sequels. But I love films. The cinema is bloody expensive though, and I rarely sit down and watch a DVD.

Ah, now I'm running out of things to say!  

Hmm. Ooh! I like purple. And I like to wear different coloured trousers, and I've only ever worn a suit once in my life. (For a concert we did at school, funny that.)  

You know what, I'll shush for now. So I shall thank you for reading. Good bye for now!

- Anthony.

Vinyl, and why it's better than anything you've ever heard before.

Hello one and all! So if you don't know by now that I like vinyl records, then I probably haven't told you. Sorry about that. But yes, I do indeed appreciate a good vinyl. There's something about it that is just so different to any other form of physical audio, like a CD, or cassette, *chuckles*. I don't think I can quite put my finger on it, but the sound you get from that tiny stylus running itself through the grooves is actually quite magical, and to my ears there's nothing quite like it. I've been wanting a record player for some time now, and when I went out to search for one last week, I ended up buying a full Hi-Fi system. Vinyl, radio, cassette and CD all in one, wow! Of course the tape section will likely never be used, and the radio doesn't particularly interest me, since I can only find a couple of stations. That does include Siren FM though, hooray for local radio! The speakers don't match the stereo itself, and it's been sold to me with

The worst day of my life ever.

But not really I guess.  Today, rather last night my computer died. Now, if you don't know me, you probably won't know that just about my entire life revolves around my computer. I use it for all my work, gaming, YouTube, Twitter, etc, etc. So you can imagine my despair when I return to use it last night and it doesn't power on. Apologies now to those of you who won't have any idea what I'm on about. And apologies if the format and such of this post goes haywire, I don't think I've ever blogged from my phone! I'm pretty good with technology, I usually know what I'm doing. But this one honestly stumped me. So I turned to the trusty Overclockers UK forums for help and, after some very useful information from some people who're much more in the know than me, I had a list of solutions.  Tested my power supply, and it's fine. (thank goodness.) If my power supply had gone, there's a chance it could have taken the whole system with it, which wou

Hello, 2016.

'Ello. Well, what can I say. It's been ten months since I last wrote on here, my-my, how time flies. I'm not going to apologise, I always seem to start posts with an apology for my absence. I've been really flipping busy. And when I wasn't, I had nothing to write about, so I kinda just left this website alone to gather virtual dust. It's 2016 now, and even though we're not even two months in, it's been a pretty rough one so far. It certainly hasn't all been bad, though. No doubt it won't be all that easy of a year, and at one point a couple of weeks back, I was really close to calling this one a write-off. But the fact that we aren't even two whole months into the year means I can't give up this early. So what should I talk about? Well, right now, not a lot. I'm trying to focus on my degree, but there's a hell of a lot going on around it that's making it quite the challenge. However, at risk of this turning into a long, boring
