(no subject)
Everywhere i turn i hear that fucking new bonjovi song.. Man it sucks, what sucks worse is that i just cant get it out of my head! The last time i song drove me this crazy was when that 'Mr dobalina Mr bob dobalina' (spelling?..) was released. Makes me want to chop my ears off.
I havent updated this properly for a very long time, and i doubt anyone has noticed and/or cares but here goes...
Since my last confession i have taken over the running of 'Common Bond Records'.. it has been a pretty smooth changeover considering i have no experience in business. As far back as i can remember i decided i wanted to be someones lacky for as little time as possible, and that running a business is what i wanted to do... this seems like a good place to start. There is a LOT to learn about all the finer points of mechanical royalties, publishing legalities, tax, accounting and all that jazz. It has also been hard to co-ordinate other people to come together to meet deadlines, and also learning the seemingly obvious, yet not otherwise thought of sides of music marketing has been an interesting experience too. All in all im glad i took the plunge, and i have some good things coming up... Now i just hope people buy stuff of me so i can keep my kneecaps.
I have also decided that im going to stop playing basketball until further notice. It has been my favourite sport for about 10 years now, and i find it frustrating trying to play something i used to be so passionate about in the surrounds of retarted metrosexual wannabees, pretending with their mates that they are reliving the 'glory days', whilst abusing the referees at every given opportunity because they are frustrated with the simple fact that they just cant and never could play basketball at ANY sort of respectable level. Ahhh Lords sports club how you have ruined me. Anyway basically i cant dedicate enough time to playing competitive basketball, and im disgusted with social basketball. So thats it. I think i will start playing squash more often, and also Golf. I have had very limited experience with both of these sports, but i have enjoyed the time ive spent playing both. Squash i want to do to enhance my neural pathway response times, plus my general fitness... and Golf i want to play, because i am preparing for retirement. Im serious... when i retire i want to be the best Golfer on my street (at least). I have a lot to learn and i hear clubs are expensive.. Maybe ill call on Don Soprano to get me some...
Which brings me to my next development... The Sopranos are soooooo fucking good. Ive never been a big TV guy, so i never got nto sporanos because it is one of those shows you need to watch ALL the time, and there has pretty much never been a show that i have watched all the time because tv sucks. But Sopranos doesnt suck. It fucken rulesssss, ive watched seasons 3, 4, and most of 5 in the last 2 weeks (Yes, i have a lot of spare time) and when i get broadband i will dl seasons 1 and 2, and as soon as 6 drops im snatching that shit up.
Miles Away is doing good.. The record has been selling well in Australia, and more importantly weve had a lot of really positive feedback about it. It comes out in Japan at the start of Next month, and its US and Europe release dates are still unknown... Will be a lot of fun to go out on tour again. We go out in December with our buddies CHAMPION, INTERNAL AFFAIRS, and BETRAYED. I look forward to seeing all my great friends over there... Again, what a great birthday gift. Also on the horizon is a Japan tour, Hopefully US as soon as we can worm our way onto someones tour, and NZ.
NZ is my homeland... as ive grown older i have learned to cherish the time i spent there with family when i was younger more and more. I used to not like it and take it for granted, but now i really want to go back. And it looks like i will!
Speaking of birthdays, i think i have gone past the barrier of worrying about my age... Is 23 really any different to 22?? Nah its all good... in fact 23 is much more of an attractive number. I will be promoted from Clyde Drexler, who was always pretty nice, pretty smooth, but not amzing, to Michael Jordan himself which by all accounts means that my 23rd year of existence could be the best of my life... We will see.
Today i applyed for a job at Body Performance gear because im not getting all that many hours here in the gym... It didnt go so well, they asked me wierdo questions and made me 'sell' them a fucking biro. I was'nt impressed but made the most of it... I doubt i got the position, but if there is a BIG emphasis on making sales, then im not sure if im that keen anyway.
Speaking of jobs, Jess just started work in an actual carreer position.. Im so proud of her, she really did go up against the odds, and succeeded. Talented, beautiful girl, and now she can pay my bills for me too! hah
Ive decided that i want to make a concsious effort to learn as many things in life as i can. I have decided i will one day be a rich man if it kills me, in terms of financial success but also in that i want to know a lot of stuff too. Right now i would like to: Learn to play golf, learn to speak spanish, french, italian, learn about japanese history, the history of the catholic church, and greek mythology, learn the tax system back to front, learn subliminal marketing back to front, learn to play chinese violin, flamenco guitar... and im sure there is more. I want to have mastered all that shit by the time im thirty, and then learn more cool shit.
I want to get tattoo'd, i think it is time to add to my diary...
Look forward to the weekend... catching up with my homeboys in Miles Away, and all my other bro's and ho's, and the parkway hippies too, and oscar the cat. Good stuff.
