Oh! I'm so excited about things now, Isn't it amazing how putting on a record can totally grab you and make you see the world in a big summers day light, I just realised that all my dreaming and plans are soon to come to fruition. I have so much to do very soon and all of it is fun. The winter just can't get to me at the moment cos Saint Etienne is playing and I have found a body for the car I'm building, the place I'm working at is dishing money out at me the like of which I've never known and soon I'll be visiting Maja in Poland! Feels like everything I've been working for months is coming into bloom. Wow! I love being me at times like this. Sorry, but for some time I really have felt like I was in a rut getting nowhere and my (somewhat lofty) plans would never come into being and now that hard work has paid off and I may well just run down the street and shout at people with excitement after I've written this. Also today, when I was on my bike coming home from work this morning the thought "what is beauty(full) and how do we define this" and why is it that not all people see certain things as beautiful" Lada Riva Using one of these fine automobiles as an example, have you looked at one lately in depth? cos I reckon they possess a kind of simplistic beauty yet most people would agree with most other people that they are totally ugly. Is this the 10,000 thou' line between very beautiful and ugly? So (in a very roundabout sort of way) putting my newly discovered "Lada Riva theory" in to practice I question music. Broadcast are brill! but... Are they really any good? Much as I now place them ever so highly, when I first bought "Noise made by people" For about the first six months of ownership I only ever listened to "Come on let's go" cos rest of it just did sound like some noise made by Brummies. Then as l gradually heard bits of other songs they didn't seen so bad and tunes appeared from beneath the bleeps and drums. Now getting back to the my theory, I'm not sure if I have come to appreciate the music or that perhaps Broadcast only made one good song and the rest I just kind of got used to? I've just read back through what I just wrote and it's possibly not as much of a breakthrough as it first appeared because it would also explain the reason why people like drum 'n' bass, hard house and anything else that is without dought utter shite. Oh Ben (of Swiss Cottage) Do I ow you money? If it's more than ten pounds then you understand the chances of seeing it again are rather slim. Seriously though let me know won't you. Bloomin sister She goes off and gets herself in BIG (monster) debt and I have to lend her like nearly £200, Thats one thing but why did she have to coincide this with the week I go to see B&S. I can't afford to go now and I feel poor. ^ look, content Anyhow... I'm working nights at the minute and I quite like it After yesterdays shift I was really tired but some of the gals were going to have a drink round Roy's house, I tagged along for a *couple* of drinks. Suddenly I was wide awake with excitement as beakers were being filled with Tia Maria and offered around. The couple of drinks turned into an all day event anyway and it came out that this Richard bloke had a peanut allergy and the thought of Russian Roulette with a bag of Revels flashed though my mind. After spending most of the day there we made our way to work and hoped "Drunk in charge of a label gun" was not a serious crime. It's a good job without dought but I'm saving and having *plans* about visiting places. I was thinking that being as I'll be in Poland in January I could start there and then perhaps go and get lost for a couple of months in Europe before meeting up with you Greek picnic superstars in March. Yeah sod it, I'll do it! If you've read this FAR then you must have taken leave of your mind.
