I think i'll start using this again!

But not tonight!

Yesterday....

I did nothing.
Not a tap.

And glad for it.

I rarely laze about in Athlone but home seems to drain all the incentive to work out of me! I found it hard to pass my mother the paper!
Also, my sound engineering is slowly seeping into my head but it's a process that drags.....
I'm very interested in it! I just hope I don't waste my time at it! I like small recording projects and for some reason I have a fascination with fixing I/O setup problems but there you go, it's just me!

The MBox is a great piece of kit but the potentiometers are a bit finicky. Blasting the gain up to the 9's for hot levels at times. I look forward to EQing some tracks today. Probably won't after an hour but there you go, i've the attention span of a gnat!

YOU'RE AN UNDERACHIEVER!

Would've been a phrase that may or may not have given me that get-up-and-go every morning.
Who can tell?

I see myself as quite a hard-working guy. Got a lot going on for me. In fact if I may be so bold I think I am the greatest person in the world. Some might argue but ask yourself this:
What do they know?

Let's look at my life shall we? No? Well then you may as well Ctrl/Cmd Q and jump out of a window! Expand your mind muddafucka! Here's Birth-Aged 2:

Birth
September 29th 1988 - I was born a child prodigy, being one of only 2 children in the world born with the handsome gene. Doctors said it was a miracle while nurses tried to get shifts working with me in the hospital.
* Joel Schumacher kicked himself for casting Corey Haim in Lost Boys when, had he waited a year later he could have had me and higher box office takings if we're being fair. But I couldn't lift my head at the time so there would have been a lot of work in the editing suite. All for the best, eh?

Aged 1
December 12th 1989 - Having not received what I had wanted from Santa Claus last year I attempted to relay my wishes to my parents. Seeing no comprehension dawn on their faces I gave up and went to see Look Who's Talking. Leaving the film, fully aware of the futility and oppression of children I bought Sue Townsend's Adrian Mole Books and had a few laughs at my expense. World 1-0 Aaron.

Aged 2
April 12th 1990 - After grasping the meaning of sarcasm aged 2, I set off around the house verbally abusing every sentient being.
April 13th 1990 - Having watched a family critic on our oversized television (which coincidentally I had bought with all my modelling money from SMA and Pampers) I brought my mother to tears as I told her that her attempts at making me feel loved and wanted in this family were 'slapdash' and 'insulting'. She didn't even brighten when I told her her food was 'passable'.

How do you know when you're an eccentric?

1. You know where everything is in the mess that is your room (no harm done)
2. You've got sellotaped glasses (fairly mild)
3. You can recall most Pokemon at the drop of a hat (bit odd)
4. You repeat everything you say twice. That's four times (annoying)
5. You named your granny after a cordial..and it sticks to this day (weirdo)
6. You have a jar of your own baby teeth (STAY AWAY FROM MY CHILDREN!!!)

I dunno...I think i'm a bit odd sometimes....
Loads of thoughts running around in my head. For instance:

What direction am I going in my life?

However, in the same thought I can completely waylay my fears, push them to the back of my head and save it for a rainy day, eating toast for breakfast before class in the morning and watching another bomb blast in Bagdad while at the same time letting it breeze over my head while all I do is worry about No.1.
I'm such a cretin.

I don't know why these things bother me....live for the present, right?
But that's my problem. I'm obsessive. I don't put something down, I let it linger, let it follow me around and beat me with sticks like some asbo on a mission.

But then I chill out and put on some Dave Matthews.

He'll sort me ri' out!

And he does. Bless.
