6:35 pm	Chur ni-duh bah! I woke up today at about 7:00 felt angry about it and forced myself back to sleep until 11:54 at which point i turned on the tv and found that bbc2 were showing Tron which I had missed the start of so I felt angry again. Went downstairs for coffee and watched some baseball from opening day, Houston and Chicago I think then wandered upstairs for a while and stared at the ceiling for most of the day until I turned on my computer and tried to find something to do. I've eaten and come back up here ... don't know what I'll do for the rest of the day ... any thoughts? Current Mood: blank Current Music: Dismemberment plan (Comment on this)

2:27 pm	Roi (reprise) I got bored last night and started sketching again and came up with this ... I quite like it, basically represents how I have felt for the last few days then I cheered up a bit and came up with these ... I'm thinking about going with a super stylized look for GBZ instead of the pseudo realist look I was trying to achieve... who knows, either way it kept me off the streets that night Current Mood: blah Current Music: The Breeders (Comment on this)

10:43 pm	On the Water I'm starting to get the feeling that I am the family joke. It seems like no one in the family seems to take an interest or even care what I do. They don't seem to care when I get upset, or ecstatic or slightly bemused by something. It feels like I've become more like the family pet who you stroke occasionally but ignore 90% of the time. oh and I'm sick of being told I listen to "Kill yourself music" just because it's not on the radio ... or dance music. I'm sick of feeling like this ... Current Mood: angry Current Music: Screaming Trees (1 Comment |Comment on this)

3:32 pm	I slip on it every time! I'm not really sure what I'm about to post. I don't think I have anything to say at this point in time. I'd rather not just update on what I have been doing because that has become rather tiresome and well lets face it my life is pretty dull most of the time! On thing I would like to write about however is jamming with Gal. I went over to see him last week and we jammed for a little while. It wasn't the longest jam session we have ever had, or the most creative but I'm struggling to find a time when I have felt so ... happy. For the most part it was just him sat at his beat up keyboard hammering out chords and arpeggios with the organ setting on and I playing around with similar ideas chords and licks that went well together. I just felt so relaxed I don't know why really, it was just a fun time i guess, I do miss having a kit set up in the corner though! I'd like to do some more drumming. I'm looking forward to the next time we jam. Current Mood: chipper Current Music: Fight Like Apes (Comment on this)

9:05 pm	The consonants and vowels Hallo! update time I guess. Still out of work, but all the things I have ordered have finally shown up which means I can get on with some serious drawing! yey! I spent most of the week at Lees house, It was just nice to get away for a while. Also a two tv setup ... genius! Since I got back I have spent most of the day with my guitar and I have loved it! just learning Mountain goats/bright eyes/elliott smith songs which has been a lot of fun. Ive also been working on a few ideas Ive had but I'm not quite sure where they are yet. I know one is definately an acoustic one ... I think :S but one has the making for an awesome wall of sound kick you in the face kind of song. I wish I knew where to go. (Comment on this)

11:09 am	Spittin' into the mic and dancing Yesterday day we had our (what i would concider first successful) recording session. It was all done down at Sye and Daves house and it was hard work. Working with a system none of us really knew how to use was a bad start, we did however get a full song down. We have a demo for pond hockey and just saying that makes me feel slightly better for spending the entire day plying it. If I'm perfectly honnest with you I don't think I'm really that happy with it. I tired a couple of different things in the recording (Mainly playing around with the outro) I'd like to do that part again. I just hope the next time we decide to do some it isn't as hot! Daves house is worse than Gals for retaining heat, now add that to being trapped in a small room surrounded by bedding made it alot worse. Also I messed up a couple of time which added to the frustration. after six or so hours of recording it was time for band practice ... we moved from one really hot box to another ... which was hotter! also the dance band seems to have moved with us and does mondays also now. Have I mentioned how much I dislike the summer? because I really really do! Current Mood: tired Current Music: BSS (Comment on this)

12:32 pm	Rewriteable Its post time again, are y'all excited kids?So lets see now, what is new? I am now, finaly on the new deal for musicians program which I was supposed to be on a while ago. It's strange, they basically give you more money and in return all you have to do is fill out a time sheet of everything you have been doing whilst also trying to find work. It has its good points and bad points which I shall now outline: 1) since being placed on this program i have been practicing alot more, so i have spent more time with my bass and my lyrics book trying to put some new material downthe flip side to this is my creative output has been minimal. I have come up with a couple of little things, Mainly intros to stuff and thats it. last night i got the itch to write and began scribbling away in my note book. it was a short story i thought might work as a song. It was about a guy who gets dumped on his birthday and goes out to blow some steam and possibly seek revenge. it started out ok and i found that it was flowing out of my, somehting which has not happened in a long long time. i get to a point, about half way through when I realise something. I'm writing something which needs emotional depth. this is supposed to be about a breat up and the myriad of emotions that come with such a thing and all i could think was; "How am i supposed to write this, being as emotionally retarded as I am?" by this point I had dropped the pen and pushed the book pathetically over the side of the bed and layed there watching something and nothing on tv and thinking about her, Which made things worse. I soent the next few hours in darkness staring at the celing in silence, i couldn't even muster up the effort to put a cd on the sterio and listen to thats as I did the night before with the spectacular Tom Waits album "Blue Valentine." this was how my day eneded which up until my brain kicked in was a nice day. i had played some bass int he morning, gone on a little road trip with Sye, hung out with gib, Dave and Beck (Who are now an item again) and even smoked alittle weed (Little being the key to that sentence)it just feels like everytime I try to do something creative my brain kicks in and tells me I'm not good enough and I quit. alot of this I feel is down to the fact I have no job, which means no money. no prospecs because I seem to be incapeable of accumilating enough pitty to be given a job and as MArvin Gaye pointed out the other day I have no lady in y life. That however I take full responcibility for because I know everything that I'm doing wrong on that front. I was kind of hoping to stretch that out, do it in little sections with diagrams and flow charts but I just sort of rambled. I'm pretty sure i didn't even make all of the points i wanted but now I have got this far I see no point in going back and giving it another go. I do wonder though, if I had the cash to go out and get loaded every week ... would I feel any better? Answers on a postcard Current Mood: discontent Current Music: Costello (Comment on this)

10:42 pm	St Andrews Fall I just thought I'#d pop on and give a quick recap of what has been going on this past few weeks. Firstly my money came thought and I ordered my guitar which showed up in great shape and sounds fantastic. Gal and Sally broke up a few weeks ago. I'm nore sure what to think about it to be honnest. Women are insane and I'll never understand them. I got a virus that has been going around last week and missed a few days of work. MY dad ended up with it as well as june who passed out in the bathroom, smacked her head and tore the ligaments in her leg. the night it happened I didn't get any sleep and when I got to work the day after I was so burnt ou tI couldn't remember if I had locked the back door. Turns out I had and when I got home from work (A trip I made as soon as I had gotten to work because I paniced and left) they tolkd me to stay home and try again tomorrow ... oh yeah and I have been given the sack. Seems that there isn't enough money to pay me so they are letting me go, they can pay natalie however so she will get my job. Being old sucks ass! thats about it really. im unemplyed again, broke ... again and still have no idea what I'm going to do with my life.

10:22 am	Dancing With Ones Self ... I thought I'd come an d kill alittle time before I have to get ready to go to work. It was the BSS gig on wednesday. It was a good show, i enjoyed it despite the fact I felt like shit that night ... aswell as right now. It was just nice to see a bunch of people who obviously got on really well and loved doing what they do I don't think I had been to a gig which felt quite like that. I still came out of it wondering why I wasn't doing that but if bands got up and running in a short period of time every time one started up there would be way too many bands out there. I'm quite looking forward to monday when Sye is comming over to jam with us. I hope it works out so we have one more member to add to the (Hopefully) soon full roste. then we can concentrate on not going down well in barnsley heheh I'm still all gunked up, I've been trying to force the evil out of my head by thinking of lyrics ... didn't work. I really hate feeling like this! Current Mood: sick Current Music: Sonic Youth (Comment on this)
