Just got in from a gig at Centurion, was meant to be &#8216;not drinking&#8217; and keeping a clear head, but the call of the Kronenberg was just too much &#8211; well, it would&#8217;ve been impolite not to.  \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n<p>The gig was good, excellent line-up &#8211; Simma; Casual Kai; Sundown; Jimmy Two Times; Steven &amp; Michael Cochrane and a fantastic banjo player called Dan Walsh &#8211; he was just amazing!  Good crowd too &#8211; most of them commiserating after this afternoon&#8217;s match &#8211; including Gav; I met him when I got in there.<\/p>\n<p>Been doing a lot of thinking over the last few days, am excited about finishing my study as there are LOADS of things I need to do which I&#8217;ve been putting off until after this month.  <\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Are you going to get a life?&#8221;, I hear you cry! <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p> Yes, that&#8217;s the plan!  I have a list of things I promised myself that I would do with all of this TIME I&#8217;ll suddenly have &#8211; there&#8217;s a few things I need to do in the house <i>(note to self &#8211; save more money!)<\/i> like install a shower cubicle and get new blinds throughout the house (actually, I&#8217;m going to try to sort that this week); I promised <i>Sundown<\/i> I&#8217;d sort out a new website for them; I should return to my guitar lessons; am also considering taking up the violin &#8211; saw a cool purple electric one I quite fancy; promised various people they could come for dinner; I should have more time to exercise&#8230;and there are a fair few dvd box sets that are just <i>crying<\/i> out to be watched! \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n<p>There are some personal issues I need to sort out too, nothing major, just a couple of situations that I need to sort out in my head.  Something happened a while ago that I should&#8217;ve dealt with at the time but I purposely put it to one side because I was too busy and dealing with it would&#8217;ve slowed me down.  I guess now (as the situation hasn&#8217;t changed) it&#8217;s time to deal with it.  The problem with putting something to one side is that it stays in limbo and you still end up having to face it.  <\/p>\n<p>While thinking about this, I&#8217;m listening to Mike Lindup again &#8211; the <i>Changes<\/i> album.  It always makes me feel better no matter what my mood is.  There&#8217;s a song called <i>Fallen Angel<\/i> which has the lyrics:<\/p>\n<p>\t<em>Angels cry as they fall<br \/>\n\tPlease tell me why you don&#8217;t hear my call<br \/>\n\tAngels cry as they fall<br \/>\n\tNot a day goes by when I&#8217;m not thinking of you<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&#8230;.that&#8217;s kind of how I feel at the minute.<\/p>\n<p>Sorry &#8211; didn&#8217;t mean to wax sentimental; sometimes songs can hit you in the head and other times they can smack you in the heart.  This song is powerful enough to do both.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, not wanting to leave this on a low note &#8211; as I&#8217;m fine, in fact &#8211; I&#8217;m still quite wired.  Therefore, I now feel the need to watch a vampire movie, <i>Underworld Evolution<\/i> me thinks!  A hot chick &#8216;kicking ass&#8217; (which is inspiring!) along with some sexy (male) vamps and lycanthropes! \ud83d\ude00    <\/p>\n<p>Nite all!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Four days till D-Day (exam) and I&#8217;m too wired to even think about sleeping.
