Day Nine : Last day of my twenties

Looking back on the first 30 years, Im pretty pleased with how its gone, I've achived alot that I set out to do, although my time and indeed my love for making music has come to a close, I had a damned fine time with some very good dudes making it.
Its a shame that the very tools that made making music more accessable and economical were also its downfall, filesharing and home recording battered an already oversaturated marketplace. To think I once made a living just being in a band is laughable now, but it was an awesome time, especially playing large hometown shows and far away in the desert of Las Vegas, unimaginable good luck.
The idea of having my own buisiness worrys and thrills me in equal measure, but I have to strike out. If we dont change our future, others will for us.
Spin the wheel, roll the dice.
Life wont wait.

Day Eight : Floating Free

Of late I have just got stuck in to work, its been busy, a blessing and a curse, taking on a manageral position can be daunting, but I'm so busy I just dont get time to worry.

I miss working at Keepsake Tattoo, I miss being in a band, but not so much as to do it again!

After seeing two teenage boys covered in blood after a Lambrini fuelled fight I felt in the mindset of 'I HAVE TO ESCAPE ALL THIS'  and now I know I can.

The family paid us a fleeting visit for a Geocache, the ritual eating of the family cheese, finally the taking of silly photographs, enjoy. X






Day Seven : Quick, wake up, lets have pancakes.


Ooooosh, wanted to try out my new Hoodlum tattoo machine in lieu of getting my licence in the next month, or however long it takes B&H council to process my application. Only fair I test it on myself, ouch, I'm too old for this lark.

Its 10pm, we've been in bed an hour, watching River Cottage season one.

Jessie has been crowing about these cinnamon swirl pancakes she saw on Tumblr.

Suddenly, quick, like a bunny, my mind decides.... I must have pancakes.

The deed is done.

Come to the dark side..... We have pancakes!
