Ramble on....

Yee-yah Y'all!

I'm ready. I'm ready to rock again. It's been a while since i've been in a working band. The last live show I played was BDO 2005! I miss that feeling very badly. The strange mix of nervousness, excitement, self-belief and doubt - there is nothing like it. It is being in the now, not yesterday, not last week, not next week, but right bloody now. Playing, listening, moving, sweating, breathing, thinking, feeling, it can be very intoxicating and yet so sobering. It can be like the best drug and sometimes the worst come-down. It's an addictive thing. But sometimes I need to go on the wagon. To rejuvenate and re-evaluate and sometimes re-invent. I have done that - I know I am no soloist or superstar. I work best with people to encourage me and sometimes fill in the blanks that what sort of talent I have misses. But also to offer critisism and stop the super-ego running riot. Introvert/Extrovert, sometimes I can be so full of myself I just want to slap myself, then sometimes I can be so withdrawn that people call me aloof and cold. It's not that I try to be aloof and cold - it's just that I am soooo unsure of myself sometimes I withdraw, and close up and don't respond. I can be a very deep thinker and, when I am, I go very quiet. Sometimes this is mistaken for other things. But it's just that I'm evaluating all that I know had trying to figure out what I should do. I've been accused of being slow to action, but when I do make a move, heaven help anything that gets in my way! I don't know if this is a good way to be, some people open up a lot more than I do. Some people sound out all of their problems with others. I just don't quite operate like that. When I'm close to a decision I may ask for an opinion, but generally I've already made up my mind (how does one 'make' up their mind, is it like a bed? In that case mine has no top-sheet, I just kick it off when I'm sleeping.)
Mr Cool is back (in the good way Mr Sales!) and he's ready to go, go off!

Wah,
J.

All my friends are getting married...

Hey y'all,

Firstly, big congrats to Mr Sales And Ms (soon Mrs) Fairy! Luv you guys heaps! This is a big thing for Mr Sales, seeing how he's 'been there, done that'. So props to my peeps in Brisneyland! As long as Johnny C don't get jealousy! Big times for Mr Sales - a proposal and the impending arrival of his sprog from pommyland. You know we're here when ya' need us bro'.

Trivia at the East tonight - came third...not quite like the old Royal days.....yet.

Willian - rock the Iberian part of Europe girl. Sleeping in airports...think of it as being in an unknown touring band... no one knows you and ya' can't afford the accom. Sleep when ya' can euro gypsy! You know you rock!

Sorry Mr Smith and QP about Saturday - I was going for the Swans.... I was going to give you guys a call, but got too involved in the game and the draught....

Hey D.I.D. and Princess E sounds like you guys had some fun with the euro gypsy - miss you guys too! Maybe catch up on messenger soon. I think you'll see my housemate soon. R.O.C.K in the USA!

A big hello to the Biggs clan! What's doing you party pie, sausage roll, cherio eating bums? How's the CJ going?

With the impending motor racing spectical this weekend, my thoughts are with Mr Ford. Someone tell the bugger to give me a call (I'm an unemployd bum after all!)

And say a big howdy to the tiger-girl too! Wah!

Hopefully auditioning for a band soon, let ya' know when what happens, happens.

It's all happening at the zoo!

Lizards, giraffes, OTTERS!, pygmy hippos, big green snakes and meerkats. The tigers were a no show though.....
