Introduction.
June already? I really didn't see that coming.
I haven't blogged for a little while now and that is primarily due to this funnel of truth, this great vent of over exposure, this one, great, blog is being
*You may need to sit down for this shocking exclusive expose'*
Yes this here "infowebs-sighting" (® C.J Hixon 2005 - 2008)
Or is it...
7)All of the above.
I think you've had my point driven into your face at this stage so I'll leave that nugget of awful right there to fester.
Lastly, witty banter.
example:
"Fully Loaded, Deaf and Dumb and Done says:
You flat out don't care about conserving energy do you?
Fully Loaded, Deaf and Dumb and Done says:
look at you fast asleep drooling like a child.
Fully Loaded, Deaf and Dumb and Done says:
you make me sick
Fully Loaded, Deaf and Dumb and Done says:
i outta hack your machine to make it play all saints very loudly right about now to wake you up
Fully Loaded, Deaf and Dumb and Done says:
so you can see how disgusting you look.
Fully Loaded, Deaf and Dumb and Done says:
by disgusting i of course mean hot."
Copied straight from an MSN conversation with myself as I know for a fact that the gentleman in question sleeps with his messenger on and open. I believe he is of the character that he will not be offended by the message he'll eventually wake up to nor do I believe that he finds any truth in my statement of "So you can see how disgusting you look. By disgusting I of course mean hot." and I know for a fact that he won't view this message as any sort of sexual advance. Just japing of the chops is all.Witty banter. If only the rest of the world were more like him... or me... or any other sensible soul I have the good fortune of calling my friend.
However this is not what the world is coming to. People are suing for anything and everything under the sun. What I would deem offensive others would see as everyday lingo, par for the course if you will. The saddening difference is that nowadays I can claim money for my prudish offence.
I believe that this blog can be and eight of ten times is very offensive. My only argument would be that if you don't like it, don't read it (I'm sure I've said that on here before...).
Fact remains that I have just plain got to either change the URL without telling anybody, in which case only a select handful of people and the odd stumbler by will be able to read my musings of day to day woe, or stop caring. The latter being the tougher decision to make (if I do end up going along with the second I'll sort the template out for FireFox I swear)
And so I thought I'd stick one last, albeit huge and in three parts, post on here to see how I feel about the whole charade. A post about a few things that are ever so important in my drop in the ocean, flash in the pan of a life. The way things should be, the way things are and the way you want.
Oh do enjoy you clever sausage you.

C.J & Si Hixon: "Must Try Harder"
"There's never been a public display of gratitude, that's a wrong that needs righted" - New Song #3 - C.J Hixon, May '08
I first met Si in 2002 whilst working nights at a 24 hour service station. It was a couple of weeks in when we first started discussing music, a conversation that drew from a vivid almost lucid dream I had the evening before about Wayne Coyne of Flaming Lips fame coming at me with a chainsaw and me having to find an appropriate kitchen utensil to disarm and and kill him with. A great start to any long lasting relationship.June already? I really didn't see that coming.

*You may need to sit down for this shocking exclusive expose'*
Yes this here "infowebs-sighting" (® C.J Hixon 2005 - 2008)
is being *a-hem* READ BY some PEOPLE!!!
WTF?
If you are reading this right now it may seem obvious to you you may even be thinking along the lines of "The boy has quite clearly lost his proverbial marbles. This here is one of them electronic pages, designed especially to looked at with the eyes and such larks" you'd be right and apparently a Cockney. (If you're not a Cockney please email me your details of ethnicity here so I can command my inner monologue to be more befitting of your race in future.)
Allow me to explain myself. This here site has over time developed somewhat of a "Rep", and a negative "Rep" at that. I've never personally had a "Rep" before (other than being a lazy, border line alcoholic that would rather spend time in his house playing guitar and talking to a porky Basset Hound than do any actual socialising with real people.) and the intronets (® C.J Hixon 2008) to me have always been closely regarded as a place for fun and joviality.
Observe:
See?! We all had fun with that didn't we! Good clean wholesome good times with no foul fucking language or anything.
It's got to a stage here that I really feel claustrophobic for fear of pissing people off. Allow me to preempt some future enquiries, let's all play a round of:
REASON FOR HATING MY BLOG
If you've never played before, the rules are simple, just spot which of the following sentences that best answers or lends itself to the statement:
"REASON FOR HATING MY BLOG"
1)For fear of getting Dooced.
2)For constantly having to hold back due to social anxieties.
3)Being unable to ever name names and shame shames about things that are or could be happening anywhere in the world and subsequently... (See point 4)
4)For being completely misunderstood (It happens so easily when I type before I think and there's zero inflection, most of this page could be read like I'm crying or being really sarcastic... I'm doing neither right now.).
5)Being reduced to posting blogs like this one and putting out a (unfortunately truthful at time of posting) image of myself that I really don't like and never want to be.
6)Feeling obligated to post about things I do enjoy but are for varying reasons quite quite silly and thus making me come across to any that read as quite a silly person. Example:

C.J & Si Hixon: "Must Try Harder"
"There's never been a public display of gratitude, that's a wrong that needs righted" - New Song #3 - C.J Hixon, May '08
Once we had gotten all aspects of daytime drinking integrated with a loose night shift rota we went on to develop our somewhat "Unique and partially unlistenable" style of performing music. Filling in gaps in the sound with a detuned guitar and an ear for off beat drum fills we both enlisted the only person we knew that could have a crack at singing and so The Hixon Trial was born.
I guess this is the half caff version of events that everybody gets, but it really is that simple.
In 2005 I was living in Suffolk some way away from Essex and keeping contact with my good friend once a week via voicemail. Feeling particually shitty one day I suggested an excusion to a meeting point between the two of us, Colchester. upon arrival Si presented me with a Mini Disc loaded with awesome music entitled
"A Little Comp - March '05" The tracklisting ran like this:
1. bang bang (my baby shot me down) - nancy sinatra
2. hounds of love - the futureheads
3. badhead - blur
4. waking up - evan dando
5. hands off the bayou - pavement
6. moving on - mercury rev
7. the storm - tanya donnelly
8. into my arms - nick cave
9. academy fight song - mission of burma
10. the classical - the fall
11. pretty baby - the milkshakes (feat. billy childish)
12. formed a band - art brut
13. lowdown - wire
14. hands around my throat - death in vegas
15. avril 14th - aphex twin
16. today is the day - yo la tengo
17. geno - dexy's midnight runners
18. oh my god - kaiser chiefs
19. true to you - thee mighty caesars (feat. billy childish)
20. pay no mind (snoozer) - beck
21. finest worksong - rem
22. start choppin' - dinosaur jr
23. i see a darkness - bonnie 'prince' billy
24. the ship song - nick cave
25. layla (piano outro) - derek and the dominos
I still have it and we have kept up the exchange of sweet tracks to this day.
Some of mine have been 52 tracks long and some have been on CD thus limiting the amount of music to around 20 tracks or so. These past few months I've made a few doozies, Somthing to sample yourselves (If you can't read it clicky for bigger)

June '08:
But it's not all Mix-Tapes (yes, I said tapes) and drinking (we also smoke) I maintain to this very day that there is no better man to have behind you hitting the skins (so to speak, I never use the term 'hitting the skins')
A little 'shout out' from me to you sir.
Happy Birthday (Comp in the post)
