Quaint ramblings and occasional reflections of a journeying Aussie musician...

Stormy Weather

.....hey folks, just stoppin by to let yers all know that I'm still on with this whole blogging thing....just seem to come in and out....got some writing ideas for the future, trust me!...........it's funny too because I was going to write that the laptop has now invaded ALL areas of my life! People say they couldn't survive without their mobile phones and I never quite believed them because how did we get out of the primordal slime in the first place right but I'm fast nearing the point where I could quite honestly say that I couldn't do without the ol happy slappie lappie....I'm on it at least an hour or two a day and I'm not even playing games.....and that thing that I got in the first two weeks where I kept coming up with new ideas and new combinations of things to do with it, that hasn't stopped yet! itunes music shuffling, journal, business, myspace, it just goes on and on....ridiculous!
....the most recent one is shuffling through my itunes library, putting on new albums while listening to what's there, usually late at night when no-one else is around.......haven't been hanging out at gigs much, it's kind of how I've been feeling lately.....
The whole visa bizo is the main agenda at the mo.....it all goes down in a couple of weeks when I train to Paris and come back in on my new work permit.....it's looking like it's a goer (touch wood*) but still not entirely confirmed.....(sigh) what can one do but live in hope methinks....
Not now....they can't deny me now, not when I've just gotten a whole bunch of stuff together....it can't happen now, they can't send me back now, not just yet.....please! If any one knows of some secret holy shrine to the Home Office hidden somewhere in central London I'll gladly go and kidnap a couple of goths from up on the Lock to offer in human sacrifice to the great bureaucratic Olympus....
Peace and goodwill to all round the world....more soon my loverlies, I promise!

*just learnt the other day where that expression comes from....pagans used to touch trees in the forest to bring out the good spirits in them....in a world still dominated largely by religious extremism, maybe it'd be a better place if we all just went around and touched some trees now and then....guess that wouldn't work in the desert though..........

Nice work on the comment spam there Mike.

Just dropped in to say, I was looking at your myspace and OMFG YOUR SISTER IS NO LONGER A LITTLE GIRL. WHEN DID THAT HAPPEN?

I would have left this comment on your myspace but I don't hold with that newfangled claptrap.
