Swine Flu and Boredom…oh the joys!

Ok so its now Thursday the 1st October and its 8.20pm. Currently I have not left this house for 3 days now, and have been the illest I have ever been in my entire life.

On Tuesday morning I woke up, and I physically could not move at all, I couldnt talk, I couldnt think or do anything. My joints were absolutely killing me and my head was throbbing away like nobodies business. It was awful, during that night I had a terrible dream, because the fever had made me incredibly dizzy, I dreamt I was driving my car and then I crashed over the side of a cliff, next minute I was stood on top of a building in the middle of London, and Joe was stood next to me, but I was so disorientated and Dizzy, I was stumbling all over in the wind, and I fell off and hurtled towards my death, thats when I woke up.

The most awfull two days of my life, but now am on the right side of it, but it has left me very weak, I cant get up without getting disorientated and falling over and losing my ballance. Its the wierdest thing. I hope I am better soon, I am getting rather sick of acting like a decrepit 80 year old trapped in the body of a 21 year old man.

Roll on recovery!

Bye Bye

Mad Fer It…I Bloody Think So…

Last night, I played the best gig of my entire musical career, it was intense. I have never got an andrenaline rush as big as that! I gave it my all and so did the rest of the guys!

I really hope we won ourselves over some new fans, I think we deserve it to be fair! :)

Well done Joe for coverin for me at the end, what a legend!

“

IF you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don’t deal in lies,
Or being hated, don’t give way to hating,
And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise:

If you can dream - and not make dreams your master;
If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build ‘em up with worn-out tools:

If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breathe a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: ‘Hold on!’

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
’ Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch,
if neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,
And - which is more - you’ll be a Man, my son!

”

—Rudyard Kipling

Paper Work, Paper Work and Crumpets

I arrived home this afternoon to find an envelope lying sporadically on my hall way floor. Little did I know untill looked I into the contents, that it was a letter from Preston College telling me my application had been succesfull. :)

All is well with the world, this means that in the not so distant future i will be able to to walk into that stinking, horrible degrading place that is, Southport Job Centre Plus, and tell em too stick their Job Seekers Allowance up their arses!!! About bloody time.

I feel revitalised, this really is a revelation for me! I will soon be working in a field that i absolutely adore, I am enjoying what i am doing now and I am not even being paid at the moment. :)

What a good do!!!!

In other news, my lovely mother arrived home from work and brought a packet of crumpets, I love these round discs full of holes, especially lathered in a generous amount of butter, my prefference happens to be Lurpak.

Anyway I am off now to get dressed into something more suitable.

Irrelevant

I’ll see you in my dreams,

again tonight,

we’ll be walking under stars,

and basking in the moon light.

Because you, you are so beautiful,

for all the world too see.

I am speechless when I look in your eyes,

and your smile just completes me.

You see in my dreams I am free,

I can be anyone I want to be.

But in life I am just me,

and not what you want to see.

So I’ll see you in my dreams my love,

again tonight.

We’ll be cuddling under stars,

and maybe even kissing in the moon light.
