Easy fool,
This is my first ever blog; at least on WordPress, a proper blog site. It’s deep, it’s personal, it’s… fuck it, it’s probably shite – but I wanted to write one anyway. After all, I’ve heard everyone has got at least one novel in ’em. Though I can’t be bothered writing a novel, I figured perhaps if I pen the odd musing maybe, with future editing, I might have something worthy of a read years down the line; if only by me. Probably not actually a novel, at least I’ll have a collection of musings/postings, a neo-diary, my own memoirs. I wouldn’t be the first innit, I will join the ranks of the famous, the infamous, the lucky, the unlucky. All the legends & otherwise, who’ve preceded to write works before me. The Legendary, inspiring, joyous, upsetting, debauched, hilarious & troublesome memoir writers: Julian Cope (my favourite), Tony Blair, Terry Waite, Anne Frank, Adrian Mole, Kerry Katona – the list is endless.
I wonder just how many Z-list celebrities of recent times have made it to the publishers (& the pulpers)?
It is freezing in the UK now a big temperature change for me. Prior to the summer of this year I was turfed out of my warm home in Southern California. I failed to acquire the appropriate visa to continue my stay there.
Yesterday I arrived at a hotel in Brighton 250 miles from my Leeds home, to start a new IT contract. Now on arrival at a hotel (holiday, weekend break) I typically find the experience enjoyable but considering this small pokey room is going to be my new temporary home/bedroom, it is somewhat disconcerting. Even moreso, when for some unknown technical reason I couldn’t fire up the internet on my simless iPhone [troubles seemingly finally over now]. I’m way behind on my tweets right now!
But I wasn’t to worry about that, I snatched a complimentary “custard cream” (cos I could) & headed straight out to the nearest busiest streets (Preston St & The Lanes) & had a wander about before bed. Nice place this Brighton.
At the time of writing, I’m now at work on my break. I was pleased to find the office is right in the thick of it, by Brighton’s Lanes; love it there.
Though it’s a new job, I’m working for my old company from a box at my old USA office; I’m working remotely, from afar. Currently my US counterparts will be in bed, they haven’t actually set initial work for me, too busy concentrating on their long weekend for Thanksgiving last week, I should imagine. I’ve spent the day trying to retrieve all my lost notes and data from when I worked there but they’ve successfully eradicated every single personal bit and piece which I managed to collate over my >6 year stint.
Jamie, a friend from Manchester has been in touch with me today & tonight he has had me guestlisted to see bassist “Sneaky” formerly of Fingathing (who were ace when I saw them support DJ Shadow a few years ago). Thanks a lot Jamie, great to have something to do down here so soon!
Hopefully soon I’ll find some webbage to check my hours worth of mails, Twitter feeds, etc… & post this out!
