I got bored and sleepless. I watched 4 dvd's of Samurai 7 over the last few days and it was pretty good, better than a lot of anime I have seen recently. I'd write a full review but that would bore me and confuse you guys as I go off on weird tangents. I have not played guitar yet today *bad me* and I will go practice after leaving this message.
hopefully soon I will be able to post a framework of the songs I am writing and the part they play in the story. I *am* a little hesitant about doing that though so time will tell?
Work has been so busy lately that I am beginning to lose faith in the idea of me staying with the industry for another five years. Being on call, and all the overtime I do, while allowing me to spend freely, is beginning to wear at many things, not the least is the amount of friends/mates/pal's etc I have now. Most of them I guess got sick of me never being home or able to receive their calls. It also affects my true love, writing songs etc, as well as any potential sleeping pattern. I need to put more thought into where to go from here I guess...
Anyway enough of me boring you, recommend me some anime! Or any dark tv shows to watch.Current Mood:  cynical Currently bludgeoning ears with: The Shadows - Apache |

Been a quiet week here with the usual too much work. I *am* looking forward to my holidays in a month and a half. I have been playing a few hours guitar today on and off and got my electronic drum kit happening. I must be the daggiest looking wanna be drummer ever but damn it was a lot of fun..
I think I need to exercise more strctly. Every time I try I get bored or work gives me 3491491 hours overtime and I lose track of it. Not good.
Well, all going well tomorrow I will give a proper update but for now I am going off to listen to some tunes and chill out for a bit...

Not too sure what to add in here I have had a quiet weekend where I finally got reacquainted with my strat... and about damned time too!
I sold a bucket load of music gear this year but I have started to get a nicer setup going with less clutter. Hopefully I will be able to get some practice and some songwriting in before I take a month off in October to record. It feels damned good to have those holidays as well as I have not had any since I gave up smoking 16 months ago.

Okay I have been working silly hours and not updating. Thank you to the one who nudged me! *you know who you are oh evil one!* :P
I saw Queensryche last week and I was very impressed. Its not often the gig is so good I forget to drink! And so good I sang along.
Don't tell anyone that part was embarrassing.
I am just so happy they played so much of "Operation Mindcrime"
Yay!
Anyway I get this weekend off, my first day not working on over a month...Current Mood:  tired Currently bludgeoning ears with: Queensryche - Spreading the Disease |

Its been weird there has been so little to update about. No new songs. No writing. Little playing. Too many 100 deg f days here - yesterday was 110 and thundery.. quite gross.
I've started running again.
The pain.
A few minor weights too.
Gotta get rid of this belly a little bit and get back as lean as I was two years ago.
oh I took some more guitar pics I may post as well.

Its been a pretty downbeat start to the year.
I have been feeling so lonely.
I know it'll pass ... I guess its just cos the few people I have been real close to are all dead now.
I know this mood will pass but I hate the time between now and then.
I hate being down like this cos it makes me down about being single.
Normally being single seems appropriate for me... like a second glove... gimme music and i am happy and all that
I guess its just cos I only got to see my mum xmas, and did not get to pay proper respect for my father, who would have been 60 on the 14th December.
We'll I'll get over it I know... life goes on... its just a crappy time of year for me where i wish I worked more hours than normal.

Thanks to those who wished me well for the new year, I hope the same happiness is returned to you as well!
Well, what will 2006 hold? At the moment I can see a lot of work.. I can see a lot of good acheivements and little time for me.
I am going to have to cram guitar into that and maybe a social life. I've been feeling those stupid pangs of loneliness I get at this time of year that end up meaning I spent new years alone in a dark room singing along with "Brothers in Arms" by Dire Straits.
It'll pass.
It gets annoying fast though that most peoples best time of year is likely my worst.
Anyways, back to more positive plans...
I am going to take my leave around July/August which is Winter here, and try to record some real songs... not those 24 hour piddly things I sometimes post here.
I have already started writing them so.... we'll see how it goes.
Again - hoping you all have a wonderful new year!

And I wish it was over like nothing I could say.. I spent half the day with my mum which was okay.. though we spent half the day paying respects to lost relatives. It was good to spend time with her. but the more time goes on the more i realise how much i miss having a family.... this time of year exacerbates my loneliness and i hate it. I look forward to getting back to working long hours and writing songs so I don't have to remember family and friends long gone..
Sorry to seem sour but I hope like hell your xmas is better!

Damn I have not updated in so long.
Anyways
I wrote a new idea or two, at overture.mp3
I like the intro I guess.
My guitar work still sucks but i can see how i am getting better.
Anyways
work really is both ace and sucks
its interesting
but the 100 hour weeks are annoying.
Later all!
