All Hallow's eve

For convenience of all invited, a friend threw her halloween party last night.

The effort made with the costumes this year was really quite amazing. We had me throwing my weight about as john shaft (all blacked up and everything i were). Batman came along to add to the crime fighting ensemble, dragging santa with him to spread the joy. Four men in togas turned up, jason Voorhies and his victim, three women dressed as cats, an octopus (in my reckoning anyway). and spongebob squarepants. It were a marvellous party.

The day on the whole was dampened somewhat by the attitude of two lady friends. One a really close friend who decided to ignore me all night, an unprecedented act. the other, a lovely women who cant seem to discriminate between honest, outright appreciation and male lusting.

Highs and Lows

Its been quite an adventure in music today. Dan and i have reached, in our 1 year working together, a whole ten songs. this is divided into 3 particular sets and each one of them is as solid as they could ever be.

on a sad note Radio DJ John Peel Passed away yesterday. thats really quite sad considering his place in music history.

I thought i'd do the honourable thing and treat my guitar to a clean up, theres years worth of dead skin stuck to the neck and it just didnt look shiny anymore. taking off the age old strings seemed the right thing to do if i was to give the neck its full attention. lo and behold getting the strings back on again resulted in the complete breakdown of three of my strings. now i have to go and buy some and it aint something i can afford. Bi-atch

two months later

I lied about that whole family tree thing. im nowhere near talking to any ancient relatives. I keep getting the same old tales from me da cos its not like you can look your parents in the eye and tell them you've heard it all before and its not getting any more interesting. I suppose i have my self to blame as well. im just a teensy weensy bit scared of meeting relatives on my dad's side of the family.

I did, as promosed to the world and myself, get round to writing and recording songs. I've managed to do that twice in the past week on my own. The others we're written and recorded with the help of my good friend and writing partner Dan. Altogether we have 5 songs recorded (we have way more) and are close to having our own EP (we're called stuffed monkey look out for us).

The last couple of months have also been a bit tarnished with behaviour from me that i can honestly say has been quite intolerable. I have managed to upset a very close friend. In summary, i lost my temper and invaded her personal space in a very aggressive manner. Things have changed slightly between us. I've not seen as much of her since the incident. We still chat, it's not like we alienate eachother but i have lost a certain something in her that i will have to work hard to attain again.

the other crap behaviour was aimed again at another female friend. Her story may come, it may not. i aint promising anything. either way, it were me being rubish again.
