Two Out Of Three Ain't Bad
Monday, 9 June 2008
Oh Yeah, Oh Yeah!
I'm so pleased I decided to go and see The Subways last night. They do indeed rock!
Not so pleased that we managed to catch the support band, The Munroe Effect. They were shiteous in the extreme. Like a really, really, really bad shouty-shouty, thrashy-thrashy version of Incubus. That's what sprang to my mind anyway. Other comparisons were flying about...
At one point, the singer of aforementioned shit band asked the crowd "if they were there to see The Subways?" Well, we certainly weren't there to see you and your shower of poo! Truly terrible!
Anyhoo, back to The Subways. I must admit I didn't know much of their stuff at all before I went in. Maybe just "Oh Yeah", "Rock n Roll Queen" and recent track "Girls & Boys".
They put everything into each song, the crowd was going nuts (and dutifully "apeshit" upon request from Billy).
I left knowing a few more and will no doubt be buying their last album "Young For Eternity". New album "All or Nothing" is released on 30/06/08.Videos and pictures to be added soon...

Somethin' Stupid
Okaaaaaaaaaaay...it's this simple.
I want to know if a particular band will be at a particular place on a particular date.
Not much to ask is it? I can't get the possibility out of my head and as it draws closer (as dates tend to do), it's getting more and more possible...If those three variables came together in my favour it would be an absolute sodding miracle and a dream come true. I'd still have strings to pull, mind you.
Only trouble is, I probably won't find out until the day itself. I'll be a non-functioning wreck by then!

Hmmmm...
I'm not sure how I feel at the moment. But it's definitely not good. Why can't I get my shit together and stop analysing everything?
I really don't know where my life is going. It does worry me. And it worries me more because I know it shouldn't worry me. I know I should just live it.
But...at what point do you "grow up"? Put down roots, become stable, settle down??? Do you have to do these things??
I don't want to be like this. I'm rubbish at dealing with anxiety. I want to be carefree and young!
I wish I could talk this over with someone, but there isn't anyone. I know my friends wouldn't take me seriously. They never do. (There I go again...)
My family would listen, but they have their own issues to deal with (as do my friends too). I'm very aware of that and I wouldn't want to worry them again.
Gaaah. I need something to cheer me up.
I've also got this (other) absurd notion running through my head. I might expand on that later. At the moment, if it were true, it would be ridiculous. Would fucking cheer me up though. No shit.
