"Don't waste your time on me, you're already the voice inside my head" - 'I Miss You' - Blink 182
Today, I AM FRUSTRATED. I'm not sure why, I just wanna run up to something, kick it really hard and then hobble around swearing loudly after breaking a bone in my foot. However in the name of setting the mood I'll start with some good things shall I?
1. Shelbourne FC 0 - 0 Deportivo La Coruna. Not the most entertaining of games but putting Irish football on the map takes precedence over aesthetic issues. A scoreless draw against a side that reached the Semi-finals of the Champions League last summer is a great result. Hats off to Nutsy Fenlon and the boys. No matter what happens in the second leg, you've done us proud! Well, me and the handful of eircom League devotees that read this. The rest of you are probably a bit bemused.
2. Got my revenge on Niall on the chessboard last night (I'm aware that Chess is hardly the zenith of cutting edge entertainment but I'm good at it so bear with me). I stumbled out of the blocks and I thought he was going to demolish me again to be honest because he streaked into the lead. This would have been twice in a row and would have put my position as undisputed number 1 amongst our group of degenerates under serious threat. But I buckled down, played my way outta trouble and demolished him instead. Then after he'd gone home I had the bit between my teeth so I thrashed Bob 3 times (the second win took me 4 moves). So I'm back in the hotseat. there at least with my crazy new chess set (Marvel Heros and Villians theme).
3. I've been listening to the new Blink 182 album again in the past coupla days (listening to it now in fact) and it is absolutely amazing. I mean it's really top class. The days of fart jokes are long gone it seems for Mark, Tom and Travis and in their place are some of the most complex, emotive and unique songs this side of the millenium. Ah... "Stockholm Syndrome", what a tune...
4. Speaking of music, My Pet Giraffe continue along their merry way, another support gig in the pipline for anybody who wants to know, come and throw things (hopefully support) in our general direction. And I'm considering abandoning my earlier magnanimous idea of throwing 4-5 possible titles for the Demo/EP thing on the website and allowing people to vote. No, now instead I've got a pretty solid idea of what I wanna use but it'll have to wait because it's the name of somebodies website and I should probably ask their permission first? If they're happy enough, I even have a great idea for a cover (front and back). :-)
Hmmm, after listing those things I actually feel a bit better. It's the little things that count, according to many many people since people started saying stuff. I don't really have any plans as such, think my brother might be calling over later on to join in the noisemaking/jamming practice type thing and just hang out I suppose. We'll probably watch cartoons. Though he probably won't show because he has a habit of not showing! :-p I think my Dad wants to meet up tonight too. There's the potential there for a really lame family are like buses gag but I shall refrain from making it. Niall will doubtless call over too (routine is setting in) and we'll probably do the chess thing again. And the Playstation 2 thing. And I could be making a phonecall too. Ain't that right helium-bunny? :-p
