hI ALL!!

a friend of mine went on holidays in Toronto and bought a mac book thin air or however it is called. He need help as this is a whole new world for him. any web sites for starters to read a bit and get cool applications?

help will be appreciated! :D 

Don't call me a mazohist or something but I love this morning.

The sky is grey outside, it is hard raining, I am alone in the office and listening to In Strict Confidence and I just love the feeling!!

Haven't felt like that for ages, I guess I miss the old days a bit.

Ohh please keep it grey today!!

I am looking for people who would like to do AFF (Accelerated Free Fall) skydive lessons from 1 to 8 in London or elsewhere in UK.

I wan to start the classes and I see it "the more the better".

Let me know if you are interested!!

...........i re activated my facebook account!!!

how do i add you in? I cant find any of you! :-(


My weekened is crazy, perfect....with unexpected surprise visit from Greece. More on Monday!!!

and we all know where he got it from!!!

Long time no see!!!

Sorry for the absence I had a sudden trip to Greece 2 weeks ago and then had to catch up with work which didnt leave much time for LJ.
Things are finally in place, my every day life is improving and I have a full schedule for the next few months with some trips in Europe and one trip abroad in October (hopefully, I need to take a leave form the office as one of my colleagues is leaving for Thailand and I want to go with her but it might be an issue for 2 people from marketing to be away the same days).

In plans to go to France or Berlin and combine this with a Rammstein live show. its been 7 years since I saw them live on MUTTER tour and I really want to see this band live again. No London dates till 2010 so I might do the trip and combine live and visit.

Combichrist show was nice, Andy was in a good shape, much better from any other time (I've seen them live a lot) but I'll stick to my original opinion, this band should quit. It is nice to remember them on tops with good energy and songs on stage I wouldn't want them to end up like most of the genre bands.

On music news, I;ll do some review uploads on Enochian Apocalypse even though the most decent cd releases these days comes from Tympanik Audio, which reminds me I need to visit North to my good mate tonyyoung  and have a listen to his new stuff along with a good catch up and alcohol. Hope to see gestapo69 and dollydiabolique  as well cause I haven;t heard form them in a while and kinda miss you guys :-)

Akron album has frozen atm since I am working on a complete new direction with 3 new songs and am not quiet sure if I feel to release the album anymore. My co-operation with SimonS is non-existent and i dont see a point in carrying out a project with him anymore.

On a side note, I got a lot of complains through email & txts form some "friends" for various reasons. Like should, would, didn't like, why i didnt reply to emails, why i ignore messages e.t.c. I can go on with this for ages instead I strongly advice you that if you have a complain about me send a complain letter to the following address:

13 Jog on lane

Who Gives a Fuck Road

PoBox. UP URS


Now be a love and jog on to the post box.

Hope you have a great week and to hear from you soon!!!!!
:-D

I'll be at the Combichrist live show tonight in London.

if anyone is coming over I'll be at a bar with a friend getting wasted....pop up to say hello :-)

Woot!!! i am going to Greece for 3 days, grabbing the long weekend bank holiday opportunity.

hope you all have a perfect weekend!

here is a photo of the camera which Google uses for Streetview!!

LOL!!!!!!!!!! I am laughing my arse off the last 20 minutes with this!! Enjoy!

 

bah!!! all places are booked. Training will take place on the 9th and 10th of May.
Guess my Skydive will delay a bit more!

Hah!!! I am re-training this Saturday and then I'll be ready to start the AFF classes for my Skydive degree!

Weather reports say that the weather is going to be shit this weekend but I'll pop up anyway to finish with the exams and then looking forward for a sunny weather!

I am so happy I'll be back in the skies soon!! I am just looking forward to see the ground from 5.000 feet again!

Monday morning.....back to work....after 8 days of holidays!!!!


Help!!!!!!!!! :-(

Greece is amazing. Had 8 excellent days.
I am going to the airport today at 19:00 and then back in UK, will be there around 22:40 local time, so home around 00:30 if the trains don't fuck up.
Had a p-e-r-f-e-c-t week. Perfect. Loads of food, loads of drinks, friends, not to mention I am in Love  :-)
Some times I feel it is like my destiny to live small moments instead of longer ones, but for the moment I'll keep em in my head.
I will come back in Greece again in August for my summer holidays and am already looking forward to it.

Ok I saw IceAge 2 very verryyy recently and even if I have missed the first movie I am SO into this character, maybe the reason I like this movie, it is by far a cult character.
This is from the forthcoming Ice Age and it gave me laughs so here it comes...

I haven't gone home since Monday night and I am completely exhausted. I am at work right now trying to short out some databases which is an easy job but not a pleasant one considering the last 2 nights.
I have an important meeting at 15:00, then go home, change and head north London where I'll have dinner. Then come back home (I WISH I arrive before 11 but I cant see this happening), wash my clothes, drier, record bass for one of my tracks and then pack my bags as I am heading to Greece tomorrow.

It is going to be a while till I get back ( 8-10 days more or less) so if I don't see you, Happy easter everyone!!! Enjoy!! :D

Good news, laptop hasnt crashed for 3 days now. That gives me time to carry on with the mix.

I am SO bored at work today!

The private sector is moving S L o o O o O W w L y.

I have absolutely nothing to do the rest of the day. I read my emails, I replied to them, read live journal, myspace, listened to music, read web sites, sports, talked on the phone and I still have 4 hours!

Help!!!! :-(

I am having very big concerns if I should release the new cd. I am trying to finish the damn album 2 years now and I can't, for any possible reason you can imagine.

I have composed nice ideas, layers, orchestral parts, I have made the structure, recorded vocals for 2 tracks e.t.c.e.t.c. and always something happens. First I changed the soundcard, then crash which resulted the loss of most files, then re-compose em. Then vocal files were corrupted, then laptop crashed again over the mix. Now Cubase crashed, fixed Cubase (or so I thought) but the sound distorts every 10 seconds.....I tried Ableton but the CPU can't handle it. Trying to have SimonS to record the midi files over his PC in Greece and send me back the wave files but he reply to his emails once every three decades and most of the times with 1 or 2 words. Like this is my own project and not his as well.

Either god is telling me that I should just quit or trying to do music over Windows Vista is a VERY bad idea.

How about you go fuck yourself you useless piece of shit (my laptop) if I didn;t have the trip this month I would stand up, go in the middle of the night outside MAC shop and wait till morning to buy a Mac and get over with it once and for fucking all but thats not the point.

Point is that I do not feel comfortable to release songs I composed 2 years ago or carry on a project with a person that doesnt give a shit about anything.

Bah!!! It's saturday and have a good plans for the weekend. I'll do one more attempt for communicate and then I am done.

Enjoy the weekend people.
 

I am SO excited about yesterday that I cant keep it away from this journal considering I mostly write about my dark times instead the good ones. It is funny how you wake up a morning and you think that this is going to be another weekend and ending up having simply a perfect day, irony of life.

I went out in the morning with a friend and used a voucher (and loads of money, I got paid on Friday!!) that my colleagues gave me on my birthday in HMV on CDs. Next on the list is the Battlestar Galactica full seasons, mini series and Razor DVD but it will have to wait till the full box is out.Then I went to buy a chorus pedal effect for my bass guitar and ended up on a Japanese restaurant with maybe the best food I;ve eaten in England.

Went to some friends to watch football and then I got an unexpected call from a friend where I was asked to accompany her on an early party (more like house gathering if you ask me) where I ended up being wasted, not hardcore drunk though. Met some very nice people and for the first time after the depressive period I went through I was actually feeling alive again.
I left around 23:00 (considering I was out 13:00 and drinking from 15:00 onwards, these trips up north really affects me) since I decided I want to take the tube and not the night bus as I was more than an hour away and the weather was really shit to just sit in the bus stop and wait, not to mention I had to change 3 buses before arriving home.

I arrived 23:45 when I got a phone call after exiting the tube & on my way home. It was a very dear soul from Greece (haven't spoke to her for months) where she decided to call me and spend her saturday night on a bar drinking with me over the phone. It is by far one of the sweetest things someone has done to me. We ended up talking for 2 hours (amazing how her battery didn't die not to mention that I do not wanna know her phone bill next month), she was having shots and I was over Jack Daniels on my bed, we actually got drunk together over the phone at the same time as we agreed to drink together the same very moments, hilarious *lol* I highly recommend this.

I still have a smile on my face, and we promised to meet in exactly 2 weeks when I am going in Athens for 8 days and get wasted in a pub together....she called me back 20 minutes later on her way home just to tell me how much she loves me. These are moments you realize that your efforts and love you shared with someone in the past were not completely wasted.

In other news, I found out that Friday the 10th of April (the day I arrive in Athens 20:30 local time) I'll spin music in a club from 00:30 to 02:00, which leaves me 4 hours to grab my staff, go home, see family, eat, hit shower, grab cds and attend the club considering EasyJet wont fuck up with any delays. This suits my plan as I will invite everyone I was planning to see and those I wouldnt have a lot of time to see as well. My best mate Alkisti is dj-ing before she departs for Leukada (A greek island with famous beaches) where she recently purchased a bar and wants me to play hard electronics so I'll start making the play list from next week and try to fit in some bands that sent me demos this week. If I get permission from Autoclav1.1 (TONY?!!!!!!!) I'll kick off with "Taking Blood" even if it isn't "hard electronics" all who knows me knows that I am an oversensitive jackass and this song just hits me and I think its a perfect kick off. No need to mention that I'll try to fit in the remix I did for E.S.A but this is subject of approval as well. Feindflug and Combichrist will be on the menu as well....more later next week.

This was a Saturday I really enjoyed from the moment I opened my eyes till I went to sleep.

Today is live show of A/P/A/T an alternative band from Liverpool who performs as headliners in a shitty festival in a fucked up wharehouse somewhere in South London where ALL groups suck dicks (no exceptions) but I really like these guys so I'll be there and £5 at entrance is really a bargain.

Now its time for a Coffee!!!
