TRANSFORMERS 2 IS AWESOME!!

Sure, its not going to win any Oscars, but IT IS SO MUCH FUN!!!

Everything you could ever want in a movie!! Babes, cars, robots who fight each other, explosions, army tanks, blazing guns, aliens, a couple of funny guys, WHAT ELSE DO YOU NEED?!!

In the merry month of June. . . .

Hi folks, sorry there has been no action for about a month, things have been pretty hectic.

Here is what you missed in June.

The most awesome thing was that my friends Paul & Sarah got married last week! I hadn't been to a wedding in about 10 years and this one blew me away! It was such a great day and everyone had such a good time, weddings are so fun! Congratulations guys!

Went to Paris on Paul's stag which was a lot of fun. We didn't really do anything too crazy,

just stayed in a caravan and saw some sights. We met some cool american/australian girls and they showed us about a bit. We went out for dinner and made paul wear a dress which was funny, ate some snails too, were actually really good!

Finished my exams okay and passed them all, hurrah! The day I finished, we went down to the sea and Karl brought his new jet-ski, perfect way to let off some steam!

Went on tour with the Belfast Ultimate Frisbee team to London for a few days, definitely helped my game, looking forward to some summer league matches! We had some suitcase issues and i managed to ditch my roll-mat and a few other essentials, so i improvised and raided some bins for cardboard! Also slept in the airport for the first time, some random girls walking past branded me "disgusting."

I started my job with Blue Zinc a couple of weeks ago, so i am no longer a slacker but a regular 9-5 working man. The company seems cool and the people are friendly so the next year shouldn't be too bad. Holywood is a super sweet place to work, i can grab a sandwich from the hundreds of food places and then walk down and eat it on the beach, awesome!

Just home a few days from Duke Of Ady Gold! This is the annual camping trip with my buddies where we go to the mountains and make a big fire, cook lots of meat and swim in the river. This was the third trip and because its the summer, we got totally destroyed by midges, not cool.

On a slightly sad note, i moved out of my student house on Malone Avenue today. A lot of good times have been had in that dump, and it is going to be weird moving back home, but i don't think i will miss it too much. We had a killer beach party to give it a good send off, you can't beat a pumping disco in the living room! Cheers Matt, Karl, Mark, Ady & Chris!

Childhood is gone my friends.

Hurrah! It's my birthday! Yes, that's right people, Ben McFeeters is 20 years of age today!

Despite the fact that i have an exam tomorrow, today has been brilliant. Went out with the CHASE crew last night for some Volcanic Steaks and they did not disappoint! You get a 400'C hot piece of rock on your table and you cook your steak on it, it's brilliant fun! We then had a bit of a rock band party afterwards, cheers guys!

Got up this morning and headed to church where everybody had breakfast outside on the grass beforehand! It was an absolute scorcher and the summer atmosphere was totally in action, good times had by all. Came back home and lay in the sun for a while and then got a few presents. Exciting stuff, got a pair of slippers and a belt from the parents and a ps3 game and some nice grooming products from my bro and sis.

Grandparents called in for a while to say hello and then I hit the books for a hour or two of revision. Was a good day, chillin' in the sun, what more could a man want?

Regarding the exam, freedom is a short 15 hours away! My housemate Karl has just bought a jet ski, so i think some aquatic fun is definitely in order!

Strange Days

Surprisingly, this is my first post since the dreaded exam period started. I expected to be on here every other day moaning about how terrible life was because I had to revise. Well here i am, 2 exams down, 1 in about 2 hours and 1 more after that.

Yeah exams suck big time. I think I have just about had it with learning for a while. I mean 16 years is enough of school, right? It is starting to become a bit of a drag.

On a different note, its my birthday in 3 days. I am going to be 20 years old, in the words of a song I like, "these teenage years, no they don't last," true dat. I am relatively sad about this turning of age as it means I am getting slighty old and boring, listening to Neil Young, finding kids very loud, getting sore heads and working in an office 9 to 5. But they say theres no time like the present, so the plan is to just keep on rolling baby. There is no time to be looking back, life is good and will be gone before we know it.

So yeah, that's my thoughful bit over, here's a list of things to do when exams are over:

• Watch Ferris Bueller's Day Off
• Fit the dukes of hazzard horn to my car
• Eat a KFC Boneless Banquet
• Catch up on Lost & Flight of the Conchords
• Go on a camping trip
• Take my dog Buzz for a walk
• Maybe go for a spin on the skateboard
• Get a new pair of shoes
• Read a book
• PARTY!

Late Night Lucozade Energy

Up half the night working on a stupid project. Ady has done all the work and is still going while me and chris are sitting doing nothing on facebook. Anyway heres whats been going on in the world of ben.

-Got some exams coming up, the usual thing, should be revising a lot but it isn't really happening.

-My friends Paul & Sarah are getting married in about a month, that should be a lot of fun. I'm a groomsman and we are planning the stag trip to Paris! There is 6 of us heading over and the plan is to party and sleep in some super cheap hostel. Have to get berets to wear, complete the look.

-I got a placement sorted for next year which is cool. Working for a little IT company in Holywood (Its where all the stars hang) answering phones and making websites, the guys seem pretty cool so it should be alright.

Yeah thats about it, some exciting stuff happening once exams are out of the way, cant wait!
Heres a game to play, useful and fun! - http://images.google.com/imagelabeler

Speakeasy Dj Set

Bagged myself a DJ slot in the Speakeasy last night, was great fun. Myself, Russell and Chris McB from Queen's Radio were spinning the tunes, people seemed to be liking it.

April Update

Hi blog fans!
Sorry for the lack of posts recently, i have come to the conclusion that life is too short to have a good blog, so updates will be pretty sparse from now on. I also quit my photo 365, which turned not fun pretty quick, i think i lasted until half way through march. It would have been good, but it is such a flippin' hassle that i just couldn't hack it.

So here's whats happened in the last while. . .

-Went to Kosovo
-Had some job interviews
-Won a rock band competition with "The Sons Of Thunder!"
-Had a brilliant St. Patricks Day
-Played football a lot
-Went to an awesome Queens Radio Gig/Party - best one yet
-Did some exams
-Been on some trips


Kosovo was the highlight, was there for 10 days on a trip with my church, doing kids work and a bit of everything really. Made some friends, had such a laugh, brilliant time. Its a beautiful place, the mountains are incredible. I'm sitting editing the video right now, will maybe post it up here when its done.


Heading to England tomorrow to play hockey, should be a bit a laugh, then back into uni for 3 weeks. Will be crazy hectic to finish things off, then have 4 sweet exams in May. One month and it will be summer, let the good times roll!

Anyway here's some songs i'm listening to on Spotify (Get it now loser!)

-The Used - Burning Down The House
-The Nightwatchman - The Road I Must Travel
-The Rolling Stones - Beast Of Burden
-The Pogues - Star Of The County Down

And this song which has the best video i have seen in a long time



Future Of The Left - The Hope That House Built

Hello again folks

So here is a little update for all my virtual friends out there is blog land. I am sitting in the dreaded computer labs again, and still not really doing any work. Anyway what is up with me these days? Well not a lot really, just chillin', doing some uni work, doing some radio, meeting some friends, sleeping a whole heap, things are good. Went to a Lord Of The Rings marathon on saturday which was really fun, although i was a loser and left after the first one, will have to watch the rest some time. Have been eating lots of takeaway pizzas recently, last 3 nights in a row in fact. Dominos, 4 star and express pizza have been getting some good trade from me!

Anyway this is a really crap post, so heres a sweet list of "lasts" to make up for it

Last song - No Woman No Cry - Bob Marley
Last food - Soup and a big baquette
Last movie - Eagle vs. Shark
Last album - The Answer - Everyday Demons
Last text - "Yo man send ur student num asap!"
Last purchase - Water & Haribo
Last gig - Megadeth
Last game - Rock Band
Last words - Until i can think of something better to post, Goodbye!
