Bah, of all the things to have occur, I sprained my ankle at the MOSH 06 gig, just before the Super Illegals set. The official story is "I sprained it backstage while practising stage moves" but the real reason is closer to "tripped on leg while dancing backstage, much drinking involved".
The MOSH gig went surprisingly well! Must say the kids are alright! Despite us being the old fogeys playing non-screaming music, they actually had a good time. Thanks to all who attended.
So thanks to said sprained ankle, I spent my new year's eve at home with my nephew in my arms and my parents by my side. Quite a pleasant change. Sums up the year nicely, to have family by your side, just as I finally realised how important they were to me this year.
I'm glad everything happened as it did. Lessons are always learned the hard way for me but once learned I hope I never forget.
I want to say a big thank you to everyone reading this; you've enriched my life somehow I'm sure. Thank you also to friends old and new; to loves lost and found; to the people who have been there for me; to God who never left my side; to music for being an outlet.
A happy 2007! To a better year ahead!
