First of all i must apologose for the lateness of this blog, stuff's been happening and i havent had time to write you all.
Another end and a New Beginning to a week, in which a whole lot has happened, well here's the story, Thursday, I go to Sound Control In Birmingham, to get my Anticipated Gear, but only come back with half, missing the main showpiece if you like, my Vox AC30 wasnt in stock the guy who served me, Rob, promised me with a handshake that he would do his best to get me one before the weekend, and he did, All other sound controls in the area said "No Can Do" when he asked them to transfer an amp, so, in his own time, he drove to the NEC, where a Music Live! show was going on featuring famous brands promoting their gear, and got me a brand new Vox AC30 from the Vox Stand, and my parents went to pick it up saturday morning, i got a Vox AC30, Custom Wound .10 Gauge EB strings, and a Boss BD-2 Blues Driver For £630, which i was very pleased with .
So Thanks Rob, And Thanks Sound Control Brum For Fantastic Service!!!!
Another subject i would like to cover now...
Earlier this week i spoke to Richard and Stephen, from my old band "Alchemy" we spoke of a possible get together again sometimes, as things lie, i'd be over the moon to do that, even with the stuff that's gone on between me and Tom, i just can't be arsed with grudges anymore, why be enemies with someone when it's much easier to be friends, i let go of what happened a long time ago, as I in turn, have nothing to hate him for, when asked he said straight out "no" but he didnt stop there he sent me a very capitalized, very angry sounding MySpace Message, For your Reading Amusement here it is!
HOW D'YA EXPECT ME TO REJOIN ALCHEMY???!!!!!!
U WERE SUPPOSED TO B MY FRIEND AND U STABBED ME IN THE BACK!!!!!
AND I WOULDN'T HAVE MINDED IF U HAD SAID 'MY FAULT' WHEN I QUESTIONED U ABOUT IT BUT U MADE EXCUSES BOUT IT COMIN OUT WITH A LOAD OF BULLSHIT
TALKIN BOUT ME BEHIND MY BACK IS NOT ON AT ALLL!!!!!
I HATE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I DONT NEED TO KNOW WHAT UR REPLY IS GONNA BE AND I DONT CARE!!!!!
UR OUT OF MY LIFE MUSICALLY AND PERSONNALLY 4 GOOD!!!!!!!!!
What do you think? let me know,
but one thing is certain, when my studio is done, Rich, Ste and I Will Be throwing out some tracks hopefully, as much as i "bigged up" Alchemy, this will happen, the main reason i wanted it was the fact i wanted a mini reform was to settle scores and just get back to what we did best as a band, i know, everyone knows theres no "i" in Team, the last rehersal we did was, frankly amazing, and i'd like to get back with the swing of "Alchemy" which would, in turn, mean Tom would be there too, but judging from his last message, that ain't gonna happen, but hey nevermind, life goes on.
if you're reading and you have a view on this, i'm not up for arguing, but just get intouch over myspace or hammer_shot_tank@hotmail.co.uk , i'm up for guitar , music or just general talk any time i got free, people say i'm a good listener and i give fantastic advice, just the other day i was told "dude, i think you were a local hero and still are". so please you might as well, and you might get a mention in the next blog!
In the week, i might post some sound clips and samples of my new gear, trust me folks, this Vox AC30 is the best amp ive ever heard!
Now It's Time For *Drumroll*....
Tank's Word...
as my blog's go on, i'm told, how interesting they are, how inspirational they are, how much better they are than other blogs, and this makes me think, wow, people like to read about my life.
This week i have had loads of supportive message and stuff so thanks, and ive hit over 350 views! of the blog, double thanks
But the real word of this week, is the fact of how priorities can change, how emotions change, there is a constant flow between everything you like and dislike, whilst working i have alot of time to think, and a thought hit me recently, whilst faced with, birds eye prawn curry's, i spent so long holding grudges, hating people, for reasons that made no sense, as i said earlier, i have nothing to hate Tom for, he was a good friend to me, he may hate me, along with 90% of the UK population, but hell,i can't hate him, it's when you leave school you see where you went wrong, its like everything you knew was wrong at the time. if he reads this, i'm not bothered, its just the fact i can now stand up and accept what ive done wrong, but then again i've let go of an awful lot in the past, and now, i'm enjoying the main thing in life, living, i'd rather be friends with a man than hate him. readers will know my physical and mental anguish in the past, and now, i have let go of all past grudges. i want to carry on free from hatred, free from bieng corrupt, were all human i agree, no ones perfect, but i just want to change the image i had back at shire oak. its a new perspective on life i got now, and a more philosophical Tank/Luke has emerged from the wreckage of shire oak school. to everyone reading, thanks for reading, to all new readers i offer you a good will handshake, to all past enemies, i offer the same handshake.
Life is for living, not hating those you share it with.
you want to know something else, i'm going to be an uncle for the second time!
