College, Gigs And An Old Memory
So lets' start in reverse order: The other day I was sitting at home and recalled a time when I knew my Dad lived elsewhere, not after they divorced at 8-9 years old but younger, I don't know where the thought came from and on a wierd sentimental level you know the song JCB by Nizlopi? That's always made me sad more than anything but I never knew why & I'm wondering if what I discovered had something to do with that feeling of a 'loss' somehow. It turns out that when I was about 3-5 years old me Dad had actually moved out for about a year cos they were having problems. Ain't it funny how I didn't know this until I'm 25 -nearly 26- and throughout my growing up and even more so when my parents spilt I've never felt like he's been in my life that much, he has in many ways and that's great but he's never really and still doesn't know who I really am or what I really do, it's just such a strange feeling & once again it negates the fact that whenever I have kids I want it to be right, I would never want to let them down, and I think I feel let down more than anything by quite a few people that have been close to me, it's funny though because it makes you stronger I think, it also means however that I don't let many people get inside my head or knowing me really well, but it does mean that I know what I want and what I want to achieve and finally how I go about my life.
Just thought I'd share

Onto last night, went to see Billy Bragg who wasn't bad at all, it was interesting because I don't really know any of his stuff properly so it was cool to be in a gig and hear others singing for a change, I was saying to me bro - Andy - that if you're at a gig the majority of the time everyone there is because they Want to be there and that creates such a great atmosphere. It was in Exeter at the Lemon Grove which is a cool little venue, I did however drink faaaar too much Grolsh and had a rather heavy heed this morning, still all for a good cause!
Also, the support was very good indeed, he's a local lad anyway and is he Seth Lakeman, definitely worth checking out and strangely I think his live stuff seems better in a way, including a violin and double bass and generally a classy sound, a good gig all round and so blinking nice to get out of Totnes.
-----------------
So today you ask? Why I'm just about to HAND IN MY FINAL ESSAY!!!!
Finally! It's happening to me right in fron....hmmm.......
Just have to type up some Web research things put that in my folder and then I am all blinking well done.............yay me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And quite literally about to be off to the pub with a few peeps for end of year celebrations, we've got a Summer Ball next Sat (10th) which is fantasty masqerade (spelling!) if anyone has any ideas that would be coolio indeedio.....right I'm off for a drink! :D
Hope everyone is well luv me
