A weeks gone by so lets look at whats gone on!

Its that time of the week where i give you an update of my wonderful week and look over events that have happened around the world.
 
This week I've been starting to work on the new designs for the Oceanic Rock Legend Collection t-shirts. I now have 4 designs in all with over 40 different ones to choose from. So here for the first time is a preview of one of the collections for the 2013 season. Also to run along side with the season i will be opening an online store so the t-shirts can also be purchased online. My very good friend Spiro from Print Maniac is going in to business with me on the website. I will be building the website and then Spiro will do all the printing and posting from Zakynthos. I've had so many people ask for the t-shirts who don't visit the island i decided to make the online store.
 
This is Spiro's shops website:- http://printmaniaczakynthos.gr/home/#
 
The new Oceanic Rock Legend Collection logo which will also be the new sign for the bar but instead of the "Rock Legend Collection" it will be replaced with "Chill Out Bar".
  

A few of the "Quote Collection" designs.








So that's just a sneaky peak at this years must have t-shirt LOL.

Thank you all so much for the sweet shop cocktails you'd like to see on the Oceanic menu. Now I'm not saying all will get on it as the drinks need to taste exactly like the sweets or i won't allow them on, so not all will be able to be made but I've bought all the sweets mentioned and will start to perfect the recipes over the next 3 months. If you arrive at Oceanic and I'm the size of an American who just loves their fast food its all your fault through all the sweets and cocktails ha ha.
I'm now thinking about ideas for the bar so much that i can't sleep at night. As I'm laid in bed my minds racing and i have to get up to either design something or search online for my idea, just last night i had the Dave Grohl Quote t-shirt so had to get up to design it so i wouldn't forget. My mind is going, i forget the simplest of things these days, its the age LOL. What was i saying again?

Oh yes ideas for the bar. I am also developing alcoholic rice paper flying saucers with sherbet centre and cocktail marshmallows. Both these i will be making from scratch, this is really going to be trial and error. The rice paper for the saucers will take 48hrs to produce but hey i got time on my hands before i go back to Zakynthos. These will be sold by the bag and you'll get 5 pieces of mallow or 5 saucers in each bag. I can see the kitchen is going to get trashed.

What else has been happening in the world this week.

Delia smith has said she is quiting TV. Hang on, don't you have to actually to be on TV before you can quit it?

Figures came out on what bands were getting to reform and tour, Steps £5m, Happy Mondays £750,00, now can you see what i mean about the music industry being a farce.

Gazza needs help with drink and its been said the FA should help. I myself dont see why they should but perhaps his ex-wife should dip in to her millions that she robbed off him after the divorce.

Harvey Nichols unveils Spice Girls cocktails. Talk about missing the band wagon, I think Harvey Nichols are 17 years behind the times.

David Beckham is now playing football in Paris. Posh said "David is delighted with my idea and will do as i say."  Mrs Beckham + Clothing Range = Paris.

Mario Balotelli refused to answer questions from a sun journalist in Italy. Wish more people would stop talking to the Sun gutter press.

Wales lost to Ireland in the 6 nations. Told you they'd be crap.

England beat Brazil in a friendly, Roy says "We can beat any team in the world". It was a friendly, tackles are never full blooded in case of injury and friendlies mean nothing. I can see Roy setting himself up for a big fall.

Wales beat Austria in a friendly. Lord above, miracles do happen, we've actually won a game! but then again it was a friendly.

After the mid week internationals FIFA have decided to enforce a ruling of "No Tackling" to take immediate effect after this most dangerous and brutal tackle left the player deaf he was tackled that hard.


To back up their ruling they watched many hours of high standard football. This also included Londons Mayor Boris Johnson. This tipped the scale after seeing such a high class player commit an obscene and violent tackle. (No Sound but its fun making up your own)


The IRB (International Rugby Board) have gone the opposite way and told their players they must tackle harder to make the game more realistic unlike football. (No Sound but its fun making up your own)
 

Every now and again a band come along with a song that makes the hairs stand up on my arms and gives me a adrenalin rush. I have to be honest that these days the charts and its music is as a good as paper umbrella in a monsoon. Do you really think Rhianna would get as high as she does in the charts if she didn't get her puppies and butt out? And whats with all these singers joining together? Aren't they strong enough artists to release a single on their own? And at No.1 this week is "Oh, yo, yo, come all yo faithful" by JE-SUS feat. By.God with Lil Donkey.
I know we all have different tastes but come on, is singing to a backing track with voice auto changer real music? Is a computer generated "Thud, Thud, Thud" someone being a real artist?

But I'm rambling on, so here is the song that is on loop on my music player at the moment. The band are called Imagine Dragons and the song is "Radioactive". I like it anyway and this is my blog, SO THERE! LOL

If you look very closely the fighting den boss in the video is Ritchie Valens of La Bamba fame.

 
                                       
If your in to music then watch "The great album showdown with Danny Baker" on BBC4 Thursday nights at 9pm or if you miss it catch up with it on BBC iplayer. Really good programme and i don't even like Danny Baker.
 
Well my fine friends and blog readers that's it for this week. Lets hope i get some sleep over the next 7 days or next weeks blog may be full of blah,blah,blah, blabbering crap and nonsense rambling.
Oh, that just sounds like most weeks. So i'll leave you with last weeks stats of how many readers i had visit my blog after the update and where they are in the world, not bad for a little bar on a little island.
