Day Off!?


I haven't really had too much to say or write about this week as I've been too bloody busy working.
The roster I'm on at the moment sux big time. 3 days on,1 day off. 4 days on,1 day off etc. so when I get home all I wanna do is chill.
On my 1 day off today I had no choice but to mow the lawn,otherwise it be a jungle and take me a week to do it. So that was my big,relaxing "1 day off"...And it was bloody hot.

Waking Up Tired

I need a holiday bad man. Problem is that I've gotta wait 'til December. And then I'm going overseas to Japan for 1 month. My wife and kids will leave in October which gives me 2 months all to myself. Shit! I'm gonna have to do all those things that single blokes do again,like cooking and washing up after myself.
Tomorrow is my last day at work before I have a break of only 1 damn day. Shit this roster sux big time. Anyways the day off will be very muchly appreciated.
Cheers...

Downloading YouTube Video's-HELP!

Does anyone have any idea how to download YouTube videos?
I've tried "greasemonkey" and "video downloader" but I can only convert the first 10 seconds of the file that I've extracted. I've heard that YouTube have changed the coding so we can't download but surely someone out there has to have cracked this!
Help meee. I've found so many videos that I thought I would never see again but I don't have any way to get a copy of them. And screw 'em if they think I'll pay for it when they are all uploaded for nothing and are there to be seen by us in the public internet highway.

Happy Valentines Day Baby

Now this is beautiful.
"I would die for you",as Prince sang.
For 5000+ years these guys have lain buried in an eternal embrace until one of US came along and decided that they would make a great monument to LOVE.
Let 'em be. Let love rule. Let sleeping lovers lie.
I have a strange feeling that if this couple are disturbed,there will be a price to pay...
Happy Valentines Yuko.

Wall Of Hair!

What the! Phil Spector pioneered the "wall of sound" with groups like The Ronettes & even The Beatles. But these days he's more (in)famous for the death of Lana Clarkson.
But man. What the hell is it with that hair!?
Oh those kooky rich & famous people.

Dream On


Two beautiful examples of what can be achieved with two hands and a piece of wood.
The 1960 Les Paul is worth 100's of thousands of $ and is one of the worlds most sought after guitars. It makes me drool just looking at it.
The Carrodus violin made in 1743 is worth a cool $10 million smackers!
One day...

Wasted Time

What a complete let down that jam was.
I don't know what I'm more pissed off at. The headache that called itself a guitarist/singer or the fact that me and the Bass guitarist were actually auditioning! What happened to "just having a jam"? What a fucking insult.
And to think we actually played "Summer Of '69"!!! It will not be spoken of again.

Pre-Jam

Tomorrow night I'm going for my first bash/play/jam/whatever you wanna call it in 6+ years!
Incredible 'aint it? Well maybe not to you,but to me it's a big deal. My life before marriage and kids revolved around music 24/7. So anyways to be going to play again is a big deal for me.
Will get back to you tomorrow...

The Faces - Stay With Me

Patience My Arse!

People piss me off sometimes. If I don't like you,I don't like you! Get out of my space and go annoy someone else with your bullshit 'cause I just don't have the time and energy to be bothered with you.
But there are some knuckleheads that you just can't help running into or having to deal with on a day to day basis,like work for example. In an ideal world we'd love everybody and we'd all be beautiful people who understood each other. But the truth is far more complicated and removed from that,so it has no merit in reality(sorry John Lennon).
We fight,and fight,fight and fight and fight.Fight and fight.Fight,fight,fight - yes it really is an "Itchy & Scratchy World"...
