GOODBYE
When you lose someone special, I guess you can never be totaly prepared. It doesn't seem real... It can't be real...... Now my head is full of regrets, but I guess one shouldn't spend to much time pondering on the 'What if's' in life. It was sudden and most of it it was without to much suffering. Goodbye Gran.
Sleep , sleep tonight
and may your dreams be realised
If the thundercloud passes rain
So let it rain, rain down on here
So let it be....

INTRUDERS
The big surprise was revealed on Big Brother tonight. Two new housemates suddenly walked in on the action. One of which has to be evicted in two days time. An attempt to try keep it interesting and help keep up the ratings perhaps? Afterall the introduction of the dog didn't really work did it.

BOREDOM
When you spend an entire day inside, at home , you feel kinda unproductive and bored. One tends to pace around alot not knowing what to do or where to go. Still managed to find stuff to do though. I now have a more organised room, which makes no difference really. Or does it?. I did leave the house for about 20 minutes later in the evening, just for a drive to get outta here. The whole weekend was very laid back actually, even when I was out last night things seemed rather mellow.
Still figuring out what to take away with me and anything else that needs to be organised. Clothes, Cases/Luggauge, Sleeping bags, Credit Cards, Mobile Phones, Travellers cheques, Passports, Walkmans, etc etc etc. It's a headfuck just thinking about all the planning that's needed for a holiday like this.

CONTIKI
So, this is the tour I shall be taking to kick of my European Vacation. Better get used to minimal sleep and excess partying pretty quickly (not that that will be much of a problem for me), but still, at 23 i just can't seem to last as long or go as hard as i used to. Call me Gramps. A month on the road with the same group of people is going to be an experience.

GET BACK
School Re-union Fiday night. Been six years since I saw alot of those guys and well was great to catch up. Although it's a little scary when you find out some of them are married, have kids or are really starting to settle down. Still, it kinda felt like old times all over again and I seemed to get along with people much better than I did when I was at school. Mind you, we were always sober back in those days, something which I can't really say for the other night. Was pretty messy by the end of it.

REVEALED
Oh yeah, also bought the new REM album earlier in the week. Usually first impressions let you know how good an album really is. What can I say, I played it once and i've been playing it lots since. Already have a few fav' tracks, although 'I'll take the rain' is in pole position. Proabably one of Stipey's better lyrics to date.
Already in my top albums of the past year or so, alongside:
U2 - 'All that you can't leave behind'
Powderfinger - 'Odysey Number 5' .
Placebo - 'Black Market Music'
Coldplay - 'Parachutes'
The Avalanches - 'Since I Left You'
....And no i'm not going to include Radiohead's 'Kid A' in that list. Sure there are some good tracks there but it wasn't as good as the hype suggested. Gimme Ok Computer or The Bends anyday.

WORK AND VISA'S
Been a weirdish kinda week. Things feel strange and i can't explain why. All I know is that my interest level in such things as work has been , how shall we say, kinda low. Continuing with my holiday preparations, this weeks task has been to organise a UK working visa amongst other things. At least that has been given my full attention.

BLEED INTO ONE
It's articles like this that help reassure me why I listen to the music that I do. Ok so it's a little over the top but still, reading this put a great big smile on my face.
...but I believe rock ’n’ roll to be not a genre of music but an all-encompassing force that simultaneously forsakes and embraces all that came before it and all that has come since. I believe it to be the sound of freedom, liberation, the human spirit unshackled. I believe in the Kingdom Come and then all the colors will bleed into one.
I believe in fire in the belly, passion in the back seat, snare drums that sound like cannon shots coming over a ship’s bow and singers, writers and poets who spill their guts, open their veins, make us laugh, show us the way
