My darling friend Nat, and myself.
My friends and I have decided to build a christmas tree as a treat to Leonard at the recording studios. It'll be really pretty with a lot of lovely lights! :) I've never had the joy of having my own Christmas tree, and even less so, people to celebrate it with (My family isn't Catholic). It'll be a welcome change and I really look forward to this year's Christmas! We're also all heading to Thailand for a shopping spreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee in the first week of January which I'm GREATLY looking forward to. Thailand is one of my favourite places in the world, apart from Paris.
I had a blast @ LIME SONIC BANG. I don't think it was mistake free, but it was such a welcome homecoming from our fans who have stuck around waiting for the new material. All I can say about the new upcoming album is that it will be a change in direction; where we will be focusing on aspects and the trials and tribulations of life, and love. The thing that inspired me most in the development of the album's new songs is my observations of our youth culture; and h ow it is such a lovely but tainted thing. The oddity of how we all feel so alone in a world of lonely people, when all we have to do is reach out and touch somebody's life.
Also I have made a new year's resolution for myself. My immediate vice is I have a soft spot for pretty girls. I love pretty girls. Which sane guy doesn't?! I will try to cut down on my instant attraction to lovely ladies.
This has been such a roller coaster year for me, both career wise and personally. But it has also been the most soulfully rewarding year of my life. I've met new friends that I truly love and adore to bits. I've built up relationships with people I truly care about. I can't think of a better reward. I'm getting used to being in my own body, and learnt to reach out to more people through music and words. I'm financially secured and the optimism is good. I've learn to deal with my critics and bitchsters with the adequate "fuck yous", and I've kept the ones I care about close to my heart with the never-enough "I love you"s.
There are some people I know personally who are going through hard times in their life. All I can say is hold on, have faith, and keep that chin up. We will never be the best at what we can do in life, but we'll never be the worst either. I'll be there for you.
It seems that the viewership of my blog has gone up quite a few notches in this year. YAY!
Heading down for a smoke now. Yes I know it's bad for health, but how can anyone deny themselves Viceroy Super Menthol Lights?
