Okay, so I may not have my Gibson (the guys decided to repair the hadstock which'd put the price up, and I can't afford to take a £250-300 whack in 1 go right now), HOWEVER 1: Talked to my bank, and they gave me a 1000 extension on the spot. 2: Job hunt still not been great - it's a bit annoying trying to find something that'll pay weekly, it's far too corporate 3: I wasn't able to see Motorhead, but I at least got a tour shirt via my amigo who did, so I can pretend and make like they made me deaf to be annoying : And the biggest one of all 4:As a result of my finances been fine, I don't need to drop out of university, as I feel on top of my world. I also managed to plan my budgeting and have stuck to it like a padeo to a nursery, so I've been able to have enough spare to buy a Vintage V100 (essentially a LP copy, set neck & all) for 160 including posting. It'll come either this weekend or next Monday, and they sound great for been such a cheap guitar, so looking forward to that . My only problem seems to be my course head, who's none too happy with me showing up to sessions and lectures after saying I'm on my way out. I need to smooth that problem over, which shouldn't take much - I'm a really different guy to how I was when I asked for the form. Lot brighter, thinking far better, and while the whole incident's given me an interest in dasrker subjects (Gotten to really like sixx: AM and the book - considering the subject, it's great fun to read). The whole incident just reminded me of my motivation. Long story short, been this long-haired, heavily musical and musically influenced, and with my laid-back style, a lot of people I've had to work with haven't exactly taken a shine to me studying performing arts and acting, so I've been fighting my own mini-war of almost revenge, Just to show them all what this small-town piece of white trash can really do. Looks like the war's starting again - brace yourself, Stoke. Also, my band idea's finally gaining momentum - Was talking music & ideas with Ian (hopefully the band's drummer - Bad Obsession is thankfully sticking as its' name), and we're on the same page there, so looking forward to starting that in the Spring (After I write some Damn tunes & get the lineup complete)
Anyways, things are awesome now, even if not without its' complications, but fuck it - That's life, and it's nothing I haven't handled before - I mean, fuck, I've just gotten over alcoholism, depression and poverty, what's a disgruntled boss and a few assignments? All the best, readers , "Parasite"
