Gig Gibberish!

Dave McPherson - Solo Gig Tour!!

So Thursday night I went to see Dave on his solo tour in Manchester. It was pretty damn awesome. I spotted Dave on the merch stall when the first performers were on, just casual selling his own stuff, what a ledge! My friend Lyndsey brought a t shirt and after much deliberation choosing a design, I also purchased a t shirt :D During the gig I met the 2 people who pledged for the Super VIP tickets, which basically involved Dave coming to pick them up at their house, go for a meal and a few drinks, then to the gig, all his CDs and then driven home and beers after! Their names were Ste and Raisa (like Raizer). They were really, really awesome people and I have definitely made friends for life with them two. Raisa was heartbroken that I moved to Cardiff cos apparently Im so awesome haha! My usual gig buddies rick and viki were there too rocking out :D Also made a few other friends there too, facebook has become so much easier for networking, I love it! So a fantastic night, singing to Daves songs with everyone, having a few drinks and there was even a massive photo session with the crowd and Dave after, awesome! I stuck around for a bit after and actually had time to chat with Dave and these 2 girls who grew up with him and everything. Theres so much to say I guess, but dont wanna bore you all ha! It was one of the most awesome nights of my life :)

Friday, me and Lyndsey headed for Liverpool, checked into a LUSH 4 star hotel, chilled out for a bit, got some food and bits, then went to the gig venue which was right round the corner from where we were staying. It was mad, as I entered the place, Dave was just at the bar getting a drink, crazy! Just to see someone like him chilling buying a drink like a normal guy. Me and Lyndsey got a little drink and headed to the closest table near the stage. I noticed that they had a scrabble set and other games there, so I challenged Lyndsey to a game haha! We were just chilling playing scrabble having a drink while the (terrible) support acts were playing, it was awesome, so geeky! Dave rocked once again, but it was just a shame that the crowd was nothing like the awesome people who were rocking it hard at Manchester. But still, I was impressed with Daves gig :D

ANYWAYS! There's probably a lot more to tell, but it was just an amazing couple of days, and hanging out and talking to Dave was easily the best part of the whole experience. Also meeting fellow hardcore fans was pure awesome. Im hoping to have Dave play a gig for my birthday and I can invite all the close fans to it and have a damn good celebration! Here's hoping.

In other news, Ive told this girl how I feel about her. I was on the coach on the way home listening to good old Paul Collier, such perfect music for just totally relaxing and zoning out. It just like slowly came to me that I should just be straight with this girl before its too late. So I sent her a lil text telling her what I thought and she feels the same, as luck or something would have it. So we are going to take things very slow, but Im already looking forward to that first date, its gonna be so lush.

Basically I reeeeeeally like this lovely girl, so fingers crossed :)

God, this entry looks like mush :/ Theres just so much to say, Im tired, early start tomorrow and Ive already failed in posting more than once a week, argh!

Im going to post a more philosophical entry tomorrow night, back to the usual. My day to day stuff sounds so boring when I type it out haha!

Project Sylo is slipping, I was quite naughty during them three days, so Im gonna have to kick myself up the butt and get myself back into gear! I cant fail myself :(
Im feeling all confuddled, this whole entry is probably complete rubbish to you all haha!
Will definitely make a more detailed and better quality entry tomorrow :)

A Vision of Beauty

Ive noticed its been a whole 4 days since I last posted..I hope you lovely people who are reading this can forgive me for depriving you of your precious entitlement to my blog :P Whoever is reading this, I would suspect cares for me on some level, and thank you for reading, you have allowed yourself to be immersed inside the inner workings of the most amazing and complex group of electrodes you probably know.... my mind :)

Tonight, I would like to talk about beauty, in all forms. In this world, there are such incredible saturations of natural, splendid beauty. Each day we may see an extremely high number of objects which exude some form of beauty, even man made. Everything we see and interpret as beauty must be appreciated. It seems to me that too many people walk around with their heads to the ground, completey excluding the world from their view, they may as well be blind, only then to insult the blind people who could not choose to be excluded with the precious sense of sight.

The invention of technology has vastly infected this world. We have become lazy and ignorant. In the times without technology, and probably a long time before, people were highly creative in the most natural sense. Wood Carvings, stone formations, all type of paintings and art, musical instruments...all these are so perfectly beautiful. Also, the resources to do some of these are becoming increasingly harder to obtain. Ive always wanted to do wood carvings, but have not found anywhere that teaches this. Of course, I can teach myself, but thats not the point. The point is that is I cant find a class that will teach this, then creative ability is being diminished in respect to this certain craft.

I work next to Cardiff Castle, I still havent been inside or had a look around yet, but I sure do plan to. I live near a beautiful bay and there are many amazing parks and natural grounds still to be seen. Ever so slowly, all this greenery and historic monuments are being crowded or even destroyed by modern technology or rather, society. Sure, there is plenty of fields when you venture out into the country, but even some of that is farmland and its a long way from home. When the government announced their wish to buy a public forest, it outraged everyone, and I didnt even think they gave it a single thought as to why it would be a bad idea. Such idiots trying to monopolise land to save their own arses! The point Im trying to make is to try your best to realise the natural beauty around you, in your local area and appreciate it in someway. Because they are the moments you should truly hold in your heart, not the storyline of a soap or the new phone thats coming out.

If you are still reading, my awesome friends, then I thank you. Hopefully by now you have an idea of how much I chat rubbish haha! So you can decide to stop reading future blogs, I know they are text heavy, so I do apologise. I thank you for reading all this. I only hope Im delivery a good read, if there are any topics you would like to me express an opinion about, then please do post a comment below with a suggestion, or even send me a message on Facebook.

I shall deliver an entry with my first week of Project SYLO very soon, Im sure some of you are excited to hear about it <3
