Yes I've been visiting the far off world of Facebook, I'll probably be spending more time there now than here. The main reason for this is simple the fact that I don't feel that I need to vent or comment here as much as I used to (not sure if that's a good thing or not), but I will be turning up here on odd occassions.</p> <p>So, there ya go! </p> <p> <small> <a href="http://kizlode.blog.co.uk/2009/11/20/long-time-gone-7423155/#comments">Comments</a> </small> </p>http://kizlode.blog.co.uk/2009/11/20/long-time-gone-7423155/#commentshttp://kizlode.blog.co.uk/2009/10/11/grunt-grunt-7140828/tag:kizlode.blog.co.uk,2009-10-11:/2009/10/11/grunt-grunt-7140828/Sun, 11 Oct 2009 01:41:56 +0200 <p>Well, here I am again. I'm not a very good friend really, not only in the blog world but in the real world as well. I don't contact my friends when I say I will (I always have the best intentions to do so but never quite manage it), I don't keep up with their blogs, I don't phone them, and to be honest I think about them anywhere near as often or as much as I should do. So I would like to say sorry to all my friends both here, on Facebook and in the real world. I would promise to try to do better in the future but we all know that would be pointless and wouldn't happen so there really isn't any point doing it, all I can say is that I will try not to loose touch completely with you all.</p> <p>We've been suffering from colds and stuff as a house-hold but are all getting better gradualy.</p> <p>There was so much I wanted to put into this post but now it comes to it I feel kind of lost with it all.</p> <p>Stuff it, see ya!</p> <p> <small> <a href="http://kizlode.blog.co.uk/2009/10/11/grunt-grunt-7140828/#comments">Comments</a> </small> </p>who-careshttp://kizlode.blog.co.uk/2009/10/11/grunt-grunt-7140828/#commentshttp://kizlode.blog.co.uk/2009/09/18/another-one-down-and-me-too-6987504/tag:kizlode.blog.co.uk,2009-09-18:/2009/09/18/another-one-down-and-me-too-6987504/Fri, 18 Sep 2009 01:28:24 +0200 <p>Well that's another guitarist down, and I am as well. A good bloke struck down and left with bugger all really. I feel really flat, and I was so high for a week. Pete is ill at the moment as well which doesn't help (although I think it's just a 24 hour bug of some kind), I feel useless when he's ill because there's nothing I can really do to help him. Nic is ok, but tired mainly due to having been up all last night with Pete.</p> <p>I suppose it's just a matter of sitting back and waiting to see what happens with everything band wise.</p> <p>Focus; focus; loosing that and just fading in and out of mind. Whenever I really think I know I know that I don't, and yet maybe I do but I just don't know that I do.</p> <p>Anyway, see ya!<br> <img src="/img/smilies/icon_wave.gif" alt=":wave:" class="middle" border="0"> </p> <p> <small> <a href="http://kizlode.blog.co.uk/2009/09/18/another-one-down-and-me-too-6987504/#comments">Comments</a> </small> </p>tonynicpeteguitaristbanddepressionhttp://kizlode.blog.co.uk/2009/09/18/another-one-down-and-me-too-6987504/#commentshttp://kizlode.blog.co.uk/2009/08/28/the-good-the-bad-and-the-other-stuff-6844725/tag:kizlode.blog.co.uk,2009-08-28:/2009/08/28/the-good-the-bad-and-the-other-stuff-6844725/Fri, 28 Aug 2009 23:27:34 +0200 <p>Well, today has been an odd day of ups and downs. The guitarist with our band has sustained an injury to his hands so we had to cancel our rehearsal today (not sure what will happen about future rehearsals we'll just have to wait and see). On an up note I got my Maths GCSE result today and I got a C, which was the highest mark I could get on the level paper that I did, so that's good. </p> <p>I'm still feeling a bit flat to say the least, although I do start a different form of counselling next week which I am hoping will focus more on the deeper seated problems from my youth. I have no idea whether this will be a good thing or not as it is possible that it will change a lot of things in me and in my life (although it's also possible that it wont), I'll just have to wait and see.</p> <p>I know that people might not want to hurt my feelings or something but I really wish that when I ask for feedback on something someone at least would give me some. My music on MySpace and my Podcast sit uncommented on despite my opening both them and myself up to peoples reviews, still there you go.</p> <p>That's all from me right now.<br> See ya!<br> <img src="/img/smilies/icon_wave.gif" alt=":wave:" class="middle" border="0"> </p> <p> <small> <a href="http://kizlode.blog.co.uk/2009/08/28/the-good-the-bad-and-the-other-stuff-6844725/#comments">Comments</a> </small> </p>myspacepodcastmaths-gcseguitaristrehearsalcounsellingbanddepressionexammlcsteveresulthttp://kizlode.blog.co.uk/2009/08/28/the-good-the-bad-and-the-other-stuff-6844725/#commentshttp://kizlode.blog.co.uk/2009/08/21/podcast-and-stuff-6770005/tag:kizlode.blog.co.uk,2009-08-20:/2009/08/21/podcast-and-stuff-6770005/Fri, 21 Aug 2009 00:47:40 +0200 <p>Well, having had no interest shown in the idea of doing a Podcast for up and coming bands I decided to try comedy instead, don't know if anyone else will find any of it funny but I'd love it if someone would have a listen and let me know what they think. Here's a link for you:-</p> <p><a href="http://fatmanlaughing.podbean.com/">Fat Man Laughing</a>.</p> <p>There is also a blog to go with the show (although I haven't completed that yet) on Blogger with the same name.</p> <p>Other than that I have been doing the useual stuff and feeling a bit manic of late. The band I'm on are doing a gig next Friday, I'm not sure if we're ready yet but it's a bit late now. Anyway if anyone wants to come along it's at St Pauls church in East Ham (I'll give you the full details if anyone wants them).</p> <p>That's about all for now.<br> See ya<br> <img src="/img/smilies/icon_wave.gif" alt=":wave:" class="middle" border="0"> </p> <p> <small> <a href="http://kizlode.blog.co.uk/2009/08/21/podcast-and-stuff-6770005/#comments">Comments</a> </small> </p>fat-man-laughinggigcomedypodcastmlceast-hamst-pauls-churchbloggerlinkhttp://kizlode.blog.co.uk/2009/08/21/podcast-and-stuff-6770005/#commentshttp://kizlode.blog.co.uk/2009/08/12/arrrrgggghhhhhh-6703809/tag:kizlode.blog.co.uk,2009-08-11:/2009/08/12/arrrrgggghhhhhh-6703809/Wed, 12 Aug 2009 00:27:50 +0200 <p>Don't suppose anyone has a couple of hundred quid they don't need?</p> <p>AAAARRRRRGGGGGGGGHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!! </p> <p> <small> <a href="http://kizlode.blog.co.uk/2009/08/12/arrrrgggghhhhhh-6703809/#comments">Comments</a> </small> </p>http://kizlode.blog.co.uk/2009/08/12/arrrrgggghhhhhh-6703809/#commentshttp://kizlode.blog.co.uk/2009/07/19/quick-tv-comment-6542760/tag:kizlode.blog.co.uk,2009-07-18:/2009/07/19/quick-tv-comment-6542760/Sun, 19 Jul 2009 00:38:19 +0200 <p>So I just wanted to make a quick comment on a couple of TV shows.</p> <p><strong>Kröd Mändoon and the Flaming Sword of Fire.</strong> Am I the only one that thought this was a real disappointment, I wanted it to be good and watched the first three episodes in the hope it would be, but it just wasn't.</p> <p><strong>Psychoville.</strong> I know that I sometimes have an odd sense of humour but I can't help it, I think this programme is fantastic. As someone who didn't get into The League of Gentlemen until almost the end of the second series, and who could only ever seem to watch it on odd occassions, I think the black humour in this show is just as good if not better and I can't wait to watch the next episode.</p> <p>There, that's me done for now.<br> See ya<br> <img src="/img/smilies/icon_wave.gif" alt=":wave:" class="middle" border="0"> </p> <p> <small> <a href="http://kizlode.blog.co.uk/2009/07/19/quick-tv-comment-6542760/#comments">Comments</a> </small> </p>tvpsychovillehttp://kizlode.blog.co.uk/2009/07/19/quick-tv-comment-6542760/#commentshttp://kizlode.blog.co.uk/2009/07/16/podcast-bands-6523638/tag:kizlode.blog.co.uk,2009-07-15:/2009/07/16/podcast-bands-6523638/Thu, 16 Jul 2009 00:19:58 +0200 <p>Hello everybody, I will put up a proper post soon but until then I have a favour to ask.</p> <p>I'm starting up a new podcast which will be based around up and coming bands. If anyone knows of a band that are either out there playing or soon will be and that want some free publicity, if they contact me I will arrange to interview them for my Podcast, advertise any gigs they have coming up and play a couple of their songs as well.</p> <p>Thanks. </p> <p> <small> <a href="http://kizlode.blog.co.uk/2009/07/16/podcast-bands-6523638/#comments">Comments</a> </small> </p>podcastadvertisingbandshttp://kizlode.blog.co.uk/2009/07/16/podcast-bands-6523638/#commentshttp://kizlode.blog.co.uk/2009/06/19/cats-maths-therapy-and-worries-6341617/tag:kizlode.blog.co.uk,2009-06-19:/2009/06/19/cats-maths-therapy-and-worries-6341617/Fri, 19 Jun 2009 12:25:15 +0200 <p>Well, let me start by thanking people for their birthday wishes, sorry I haven't replied individually but things have been a bit odd round here, and in here (he says pointlessly pointing at his own head, which none of you will be able to see).</p> <p>We are now the proud keepers of two cats (I say keepers and not owners because whilst you can own a dog, you can never own a cat). We have a black boy cat called Pip and a tabby girl cat called Nor. Don't ask about the names, Pete decided on them. They are just little kittens at the moment but I am assured that they grow quickly, so they should be big cats before we know it. Pictures to follow.</p> <p>I had my second Maths GCSE exam, which I thought was easier than the first one, not that that really means much because I've had job interviews before that I thought I did brilliantly at and didn't even get shortlisted, so what do I know. Just have to wait until the end of August now for the results.</p> <p>I've been a bit down of late and things in my head haven't been too fantastic. So I am going back into counselling to see if I can deal with some of the crap from my childhood that still gives me problems, also to deal with some stuff that happened during my drinking days that I didn't deal with at the time. Had an assessment on Tuesday and now have to wait to find out when I can start. We shall see what happens.</p> <p>Sometimes I know I worry too much and at others I think maybe I don't worry enough about the things I should, but at the moment I seem to be worrying a lot of the time about a lot of things, some more important than others but all with the same intensity on my part. I think, no I know, that I need to talk some of the things through but find it difficult sometimes to know how. O Lord what am I waffling about? Anyway there it is!</p> <p>That's all from me for now, see ya later<br> <img src="/img/smilies/icon_wave.gif" alt=":wave:" class="middle" border="0"></p> <p> <small> <a href="http://kizlode.blog.co.uk/2009/06/19/cats-maths-therapy-and-worries-6341617/#comments">Comments</a> </small> </p>catskittenstherapycounsellingpeteworriesnorpipdepressionmaths-gcsehttp://kizlode.blog.co.uk/2009/06/19/cats-maths-therapy-and-worries-6341617/#commentshttp://kizlode.blog.co.uk/2009/05/18/maths-addiction-starbucks-thanks-and-stuff-6138486/tag:kizlode.blog.co.uk,2009-05-18:/2009/05/18/maths-addiction-starbucks-thanks-and-stuff-6138486/Mon, 18 May 2009 22:44:34 +0200 <p>Well now, today was the day that I had the first of my two exams for my Maths GCSE course. I'm glad it's over, not looking forward to the second one on June 1st, not sure how well I did (I know that I guessed the answer to at least 4 questions) I'll just have to wait and see.</p> <p>I have recently come to realise that my attraction to big women and women with big breasts is actually an addiction, in the same sense as my alcoholism is. One of the things that marks out an addiction of this type is the continual repetition of an action hoping for a different outcome despite the fact that it will not happen. With alcoholism this means drinking, and getting drunk, in the hope that it will solve all of your problems, which it clearly never will. I have the same thing going on when it comes to big women and women with big breasts, I continually watch them (either in person in the street, although not in a stalking way, or on television) hoping that one day they will bear their breasts to me, thus turning me on, despite the fact that (with the obvious exception of pornography and/or anyone connected with it) I know it is never going to happen, but still I watch and I hope, and all this whilst having a wonderful big woman at home that I love and that loves me, and that I would never cheat on, I must be mad.</p> <p>Why is it that when I get a medium cappachino from Starbucks I get three quarters of a cup of coffee and one quarter of a cup of foam, but when I get a large cappachino I get half a cup of coffee and half a cup of foam? I'm sure I'm getting less by ordering more!</p> <p>I want to thank everyone for the comments left on my last entry, not feeling bad about it really but felt confused about how flat it left me for a while. Still, maybe I'll try again next year <img src="/img/smilies/graylaugh.gif" alt=":))" class="middle" border="0"></p> <p>Well, things are slowly getting back to whatever normality is around here <img src="/img/smilies/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" class="middle" border="0"> and we are all doing ok.</p> <p>That's all from me for now, see ya!<br> <img src="/img/smilies/icon_wave.gif" alt=":wave:" class="middle" border="0"> </p> <p> <small> <a href="http://kizlode.blog.co.uk/2009/05/18/maths-addiction-starbucks-thanks-and-stuff-6138486/#comments">Comments</a> </small> </p>examstarbuckswomenalcoholismaddictionbig-womencappachinomaths-gcsebig-breastscoffeehttp://kizlode.blog.co.uk/2009/05/18/maths-addiction-starbucks-thanks-and-stuff-6138486/#commentshttp://kizlode.blog.co.uk/2009/05/15/x-it-6117920/tag:kizlode.blog.co.uk,2009-05-15:/2009/05/15/x-it-6117920/Fri, 15 May 2009 01:43:58 +0200 <p>Well, here I sit. I fell at the second hurdle, unfortunately, and so won't even make it to the TV auditions stage. Maybe next year, if I can bothered, or maybe I'll try Britain's Full Of Weirdo's or whatever.</p> <p>Not that I'm bitter, I think that anyone that looks like me and is over 45 and goes into something like The X Factor thinking they could win it and become a global recording artist is more than a little deluded. The strange thing is that I didn't really expect to feel as sad about not getting through as I do, it hasn't made me feel down, just normally sad.</p> <p>All I can think is that they obviously had their quota of fat, middle-aged, alcoholics with a heart condition for this series and so that's why they said no <img src="/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif" alt=":DD" class="middle" border="0"></p> <p>So now back to what passes for normality, back to family and trying to get prepared for my first Maths GCSE on Monday.</p> <p>Anyway, that's all from me for now (Nick I will e-mail you over the weekend in reply to your message) see y'all<br> <img src="/img/smilies/icon_wave.gif" alt=":wave:" class="middle" border="0"></p> <p> <small> <a href="http://kizlode.blog.co.uk/2009/05/15/x-it-6117920/#comments">Comments</a> </small> </p>the-x-factornickgcsefamilymathshttp://kizlode.blog.co.uk/2009/05/15/x-it-6117920/#commentshttp://kizlode.blog.co.uk/2009/05/12/x-and-more-6100005/tag:kizlode.blog.co.uk,2009-05-11:/2009/05/12/x-and-more-6100005/Tue, 12 May 2009 00:53:57 +0200 <p>So I had a day and a half on the 6th of May, but in the end I got through the first round of auditions and now have to go to the next one this Thursday, if I get through that then my fizzog will possibly be on the TV doing an audition to the four judges proper. We shall see <img src="/img/smilies/graylaugh.gif" alt=":))" class="middle" border="0"></p> <p>Other than that, and the ankle pains from all the standing and walking done on that day, things are going ok...ish. I've been a bit down, on and off, Nic seems to be doing ok but I have been feeling lately that we are not connecting as we used to (don't know why, might be to do with the very active little boy we have), Pete is fine, bouncing off the walls a lot of the time and pushing his boundries as well as learning and developeing quite well. So all in all pretty much ok.</p> <p>Well, that all from me for now.<br> See y'all<br> <img src="/img/smilies/icon_wave.gif" alt=":wave:" class="middle" border="0"> </p> <p> <small> <a href="http://kizlode.blog.co.uk/2009/05/12/x-and-more-6100005/#comments">Comments</a> </small> </p>peteauditionsnicx-factortvhttp://kizlode.blog.co.uk/2009/05/12/x-and-more-6100005/#commentshttp://kizlode.blog.co.uk/2009/04/15/looking-for-help-5951587/tag:kizlode.blog.co.uk,2009-04-15:/2009/04/15/looking-for-help-5951587/Wed, 15 Apr 2009 23:51:11 +0200 <p>I don't know if any of you might be able to help me but it's worth a try. I went to the cinema in the late 70's to see Star Wars, in North London, and it was supported by a short documentary film which was, at least in part, about the Kent Custom Bike Show. As Star Wars came out in around 1978 in the uk I assume that it was the show in either 77 or 78 that was in the support film. I am trying to find out any information at all about this film and would be really grateful of anything that anyone could tell me or any where that you can think of where I might find out more about it. </p> <p> <small> <a href="http://kizlode.blog.co.uk/2009/04/15/looking-for-help-5951587/#comments">Comments</a> </small> </p>19771978filmkent-custom-showstar-warshttp://kizlode.blog.co.uk/2009/04/15/looking-for-help-5951587/#commentshttp://kizlode.blog.co.uk/2009/04/06/down-holiday-and-x-5896750/tag:kizlode.blog.co.uk,2009-04-05:/2009/04/06/down-holiday-and-x-5896750/Mon, 06 Apr 2009 00:46:14 +0200 <p>So now, where to start.</p> <p>As Staind put it 'It's been a while', and it has. I've been spending a fair amount of time faffing around with Facebook for some reason that to be honest is beyond me right now <img src="/img/smilies/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" class="middle" border="0"></p> <p>I seem to have come out of the down (although still wavering a bit sometimes) and am feeling alright..ish at the moment as far as that side of things goes.</p> <p>We went on holiday for a week to the Haven Holiday Camp in Caister (Great Yarmouth). We, well Nic actually, managed to find a cheap deal because of the dates and so went away last Monday. The journey there was pretty good and the camp itself was fine, about three hours (or maybe even sooner) into our holiday we went to the main entertainment centre, the Neptune Room and Pete was running around like a looney as were lots of other kids, Pete managed to collide with one of them and bounced off at an angle hitting his head on a stool and spliting his eyebrow open, we then spent about three or four hours in A&E in the 'local' hospital which is actually about halfway between Great Yarmouth and Lowestoft. Still he was fine afterwards and the rest of the holiday went well, although the weather on the last day and a half was a bit grotty, and I managed to come back with a cold and chesty cough which are now giving me grief. Still it was good to get away for a few days and just be somewhere else doing different things.</p> <p>And now for an amazing thing that may well leave some of you astounded and amazed. About a month or so ago I found myself sitting at the computer surfing the net, as is my want late at night, and I logged onto a site that I signed up to ages ago for musicians to find like minded people with the aim of forming bands and also for bands and singers to find out about opportunities for performing but I haven't really looked at for about a year or more. Anyway there were a few messages for me to read and amongst them was one that had a link in it to a web site which I decided to have a look at and just for fun submit an interest to. I honestly didn't think I'd hear anything from them but, coming back from Holiday I found a letter on the door mat addressed to me asking me to attend an audition on May 6th for the 2009 series of the X Factor. I can't wait <img src="/img/smilies/graylaugh.gif" alt=":))" class="middle" border="0"></p> <p>Anyway, that's about it from me for now, talk soon, maybe.<br> <img src="/img/smilies/icon_wave.gif" alt=":wave:" class="middle" border="0"> </p> <p> <small> <a href="http://kizlode.blog.co.uk/2009/04/06/down-holiday-and-x-5896750/#comments">Comments</a> </small> </p>musicthe-x-factoraehavenstaindgreat-yarmouthfacebookpeteholidaynicdepressionlowestoftcaisterhttp://kizlode.blog.co.uk/2009/04/06/down-holiday-and-x-5896750/#commentshttp://kizlode.blog.co.uk/2009/02/19/the-sword-of-damaclease-5604776/tag:kizlode.blog.co.uk,2009-02-19:/2009/02/19/the-sword-of-damaclease-5604776/Thu, 19 Feb 2009 01:58:03 +0100 <p>I can feel that I am slowly slipping and this could be, as the song of the title says "the start of a very big downer". I hope that by knowing it's starting then I might be able to deal with it better and maybe even find some way of avoiding it altogether, we shall have to wait and see.</p> <p>So, with what could possibly be my final up thoughts for a while I decided to post some things here.</p> <p>Pete is full on 99% of the time when he isn't asleep, which is fun. We've been through some stuff and are working our way back to normality (whatever that is) one step at a time.</p> <p>I was the victim today of possibly the strangest drive-by abusing I have ever recieved. I was walking along the road, pushing Pete in his buggy, when a car came round the corner and drove past me, as it drew level with me, the driver of the car shouted "Pavarotti!" is his best broad east end accent. I thought well, that's the last time I go out in white tie and tails with a handkerchief in my hand.</p> <p>It's been an odd week, meeting up with people I haven't seen since rehab, other people I haven't seen for a year or so contacting me on Facebook (I'm still not totally sure why I'm on that), mayhem in Romford at Kidspace, and then Iron Maiden win a Brit Award. Whatever next?</p> <p>So, a few days ago, I am sitting in Starbucks (as is occassionally my want) with not much more to do than contemplate my navel and watch the world go by, when I am struck by the muse and compelled to write something. When these things happen, which is rarely these days, I just sit and write without always being completely aware of what I'm writing until I've finished and read it back. This was the case on this day, and so I wrote the following:-</p> <p class="center"><strong>"Let's say that all that's inside a persons mind becomes the entirity of that persons life and all that is outside of that person is percieved as being a delusion, but a delusion that has been manufactured by a specific person or body with the sole purpose of entrapping the deluded person. The 'fact' is stated by the person and within the delusion, that the manufacturer of the delusion <u>must</u> be already in the life of the deluded person (which could be said to be fairly logical reasoning) but as that persons life is, as has previously been stated, all that is inside of their own mind, then the manufacturer can <u>only</u> be themselves. They, having worked this out, therefore reject their own thoughts and feelings as being part of the manufactured delusion, which sends them off into a never ending loop of delusion within a delusion, in which they can argue that everything, both inside of their mind and outside of them is both real and a delusion at the same time and so, therefore, is also neither of these two things and so, therefore, does not exist. If everything, both inside their mind and outside them, does not exist then either they are an empty shell within a void which would, logically, be incapable of the reasoning needed to come to the original conclusion, or they also do not exist, which then poses the question 'If they do not exist, how can they reason that they do not exist?'"</strong></p> <p>I have not real idea if any of that makes any sense but I just thought I'd share <img src="/img/smilies/icon_crazy.gif" alt=":crazy:" class="middle" border="0"></p> <p>Well, with that of my chest I'll be off.

My cold/flu thingy has gone, no more gut problems, so now all I have to deal with is yet another ear infection. I've seen the doctor and have taken another pointless seven day course of antibiotics (why do doctors bother prescribing Amoxicilin when everyone knows it doesn't do anything) and am going to phone for another appointment tomorrow to see if he can give me anything that will actually help. During the meanwhilst, I am getting more and more fed up with it.</p> <p>We've been having a few problems with Pete and his sleeping over the last week or so, this has meant that neither Nic or I have slept very well and have both been feeling a bit tired and rough, still these are the joys of parenthood I suppose <img src="/img/smilies/icon_confused.gif" alt=":-/" class="middle" border="0"></p> <p>I've done another rehersal with the band (and in answer to Old Nicks question it's Jeff - Sandy's boyfriend) which went well-ish. We are having another on in a couple of weeks and I'm taking some songs along to see if they want to do them, could be interesting. I am enjoying doing the singing thing again, even if the last two times I have had a throat problem and have ended up the following day sounding a bit like Barry White when ever I speak.</p> <p>I had a great time last week going to Camden with Mr Kelly to see Kings X at the Electric Ballroom. I've heard some of their stuff before and liked it but live they are great and since the gig I have downloaded a few of their albums to listen to and I really like their stuff.</p> <p>Anyway, we have a fairly full weekend and week ahead so I'm off now.<br> See ya!<br> <img src="/img/smilies/icon_wave.gif" alt=":wave:" class="middle" border="0"> </p> <p> <small> <a href="http://kizlode.blog.co.uk/2009/01/30/playing-it-by-ear-5472858/#comments">Comments</a> </small> </p>barry-whitemusicpetesandycamdenkings-xold-nickdoctorjeffthe-electric-ballroomchris-kellybandear-infectionnicmlcgighttp://kizlode.blog.co.uk/2009/01/30/playing-it-by-ear-5472858/#commentshttp://kizlode.blog.co.uk/2009/01/16/if-music-be-the-food-of-love-i-ll-have-a-ham-sandwich-5385395/tag:kizlode.blog.co.uk,2009-01-16:/2009/01/16/if-music-be-the-food-of-love-i-ll-have-a-ham-sandwich-5385395/Fri, 16 Jan 2009 01:55:23 +0100 <p>So, it appears I am now in a band. I did this audition and they were really happy with the way I sang and everything, which I am a bit suprised at because I didn't think I did that well. I suppose it helps that I know the drummer (he is a guitarist friend of mine) and that none of the rest of the band think they have good enough voices or want to sing, but hey I'm not knocking the fact that I seem to be a singer once again (if I ever was one before that is). So I sang some good classic rock songs, and a couple of Def Leppard numbers, and really enjoyed myself. They have some of their own songs that they've been working on as well which don't sound bad but need a bit of polishing up, so all in all it could be good fun. The band are called MLC, at the moment (it stands for Mid Life Crisis) but I don't know if that will be the final name or not. Anyway I'll try to keep anyone who's interested posted as to our progression.</p> <p>On the home front, we are all gradually getting better but we still have sore throats, coughing and stuff going on within the house, although nowhere near as bad as it has been.</p> <p>I'm going to finish with a little comment on something I heard earlier tonight on Newsnight. They were asking if this country still has a 'Rolls Royce' Civil Service. I think that firstly it really depends if you thought we ever had one to start with, but the thing that I thought straight away was 'Why do we need one when we've got a Ford Cortina Government and a Reliant Robin society?'</p> <p>See ya!<br> <img src="/img/smilies/icon_wave.gif" alt=":wave:" class="middle" border="0"> </p> <p> <small> <a href="http://kizlode.blog.co.uk/2009/01/16/if-music-be-the-food-of-love-i-ll-have-a-ham-sandwich-5385395/#comments">Comments</a> </small> </p>newsnightsingingdef-leppardreliant-robinmlcrockfamilymusiccivil-servicerolls-roycebandford-cortinahttp://kizlode.blog.co.uk/2009/01/16/if-music-be-the-food-of-love-i-ll-have-a-ham-sandwich-5385395/#commentshttp://kizlode.blog.co.uk/2008/12/20/hhummphh-5248321/tag:kizlode.blog.co.uk,2008-12-20:/2008/12/20/hhummphh-5248321/Sat, 20 Dec 2008 02:05:12 +0100 <p>I sit down.

So here I sit with a slightly snotty nose, a slightly thick head, a feeling that shifts from being cold to being hot, and a dose of the American Malt Liquors. (For those of you who don't get that reference check out this <a href="http://www.schlitzgusto.com/history.asp">LINK</a>).</p> <p>Nic is still not completely well, but is looking after me, Pete and the house wonderfuly. Pete is better...ish, not sure if he's completely over it either, but he is pretty much back to being his odd little self.</p> <p>Still, I'm not one to dwell on being ill or to wallow in it, so I'll try to get back to being able to do stuff as soon as I can so that we can hopefully have a fully functioning household for Christmas.</p> <p>See ya later.<br> <img src="/img/smilies/icon_wave.gif" alt=":wave:" class="middle" border="0"> </p> <p> <small> <a href="http://kizlode.blog.co.uk/2008/12/16/so-here-we-are-again-5228839/#comments">Comments</a> </small> </p>american-malt-liquorpetesicknicchristmashttp://kizlode.blog.co.uk/2008/12/16/so-here-we-are-again-5228839/#commentshttp://kizlode.blog.co.uk/2008/12/03/a-link-i-forgot-5157931/tag:kizlode.blog.co.uk,2008-12-03:/2008/12/03/a-link-i-forgot-5157931/Wed, 03 Dec 2008 20:14:33 +0100 <p>I forgot to post this link.</p> <p>I don't know if anyone has seen this before but I loved it when I found out about it.

If I do the foundation one, the work is easier but I will have to get somewhere around 85% just to get a C grade (which the highest I can get), whereas if I do the higher one, the work is harder but I only need to get about 60% to get a C grade and if I do better I could even get a B. I shall have to try to think about it properly and make a decision at some point in the next few weeks.</p> <p>Niki and I have had some nights of broken sleep because of Pete, and in my case my insomnia which has reared it's slimey head once more. Apart from that I think we're doing ok...ish.</p> <p>I'm sitting listening to some of the songs that this band that my friend wants me to join are covering, mostly pretty good with a couple of Def Leppard songs as well, still you can't have everything (where would you keep it?)</p> <p>Well I think that's about it from me for now, although I'm sure there was an actual reason for me logging on here and writing a blog entry but I can't think what it was now.</p> <p>Ah well, back to my train of thought as it was before.....</p> <p>Blank, blank, blank, coffee, blank, blank, blank, (yawn), etc..... </p> <p> <small> <a href="http://kizlode.blog.co.uk/2008/12/03/thoughts-and-things-5157884/#comments">Comments</a> </small> </p>def-leppardinsomniabandpetesongsmaths-gcsemusicnikihttp://kizlode.blog.co.uk/2008/12/03/thoughts-and-things-5157884/#commentshttp://kizlode.blog.co.uk/2008/11/19/meme-s-dr-who-dreams-and-stuff-5060786/tag:kizlode.blog.co.uk,2008-11-19:/2008/11/19/meme-s-dr-who-dreams-and-stuff-5060786/Wed, 19 Nov 2008 02:09:31 +0100 <p>I don't know if any of you have seen this one before, but I was tagged by Niki to do it.

I have been reading with interest some forums online discussing who should take over the role of Dr Who when David Tennant leaves. I was especially interested in the discussion that was a debate over the possiblity of the next Doctor being either a woman or black. For my part I haven't really got an opinion as to exactly who it should be, but I did have a rather strange dream the other night in which I was playing a bit part in an episode of the next series and the Doctor was being played by Colin Firth. Stranger still was the fact that he was wearing what appeared to be a black denim suit with leather trims on the pockets and collers, a black silky shirt and a white linen tie.

Now, as those of you that know will know, that is an historically important pub in the world of British music history. Birth place of The Small Faces and Iron Maiden (amongst others), and home to the near legendary Neal Kay for many years. It was also the first place that I ever sang live in. Aparently it is being closed down and has been sold to a developer, it is rumoured that they will be knocking it down and building apartments on the site. Now whilst I will freely admit that it wasn't the greatest of pubs, it was what it was, and to many people it was a big part of there growing up and real life education. Although I haven't been to the place for probably about six or seven years now, I will miss it.</p> <p>On the other stuff front, I have been down, stressed and wound-up over the last week or so. There have been many reasons, not all of them know to me, and I can't truely say I'm over it yet, we shall see.</p> <p>Anyway, that's about all for now, see ya!<br> <img src="/img/smilies/icon_wave.gif" alt=":wave:" class="middle" border="0"> </p> <p> <small> <a href="http://kizlode.blog.co.uk/2008/11/09/a-sad-goodbye-and-other-things-5006112/#comments">Comments</a> </small> </p>the-ruskin-armsmusiciron-maidenneal-kaydepressioneast-hamthe-small-faceshttp://kizlode.blog.co.uk/2008/11/09/a-sad-goodbye-and-other-things-5006112/#commentshttp://kizlode.blog.co.uk/2008/11/01/hello-ian-and-other-stuff-4964441/tag:kizlode.blog.co.uk,2008-11-01:/2008/11/01/hello-ian-and-other-stuff-4964441/Sat, 01 Nov 2008 02:42:15 +0100 <p>Well that's another Hello Ian over with, we gave our chocky sacrifices to the micro demons at the door and peace reigns in our house, at least until Pete wakes up.</p> <p>Being off the happy tablets has meant that I have been a bit prone to mood swings this week, I think I've dealt with it pretty well but it's been hard sometimes.</p> <p>After all the media frenzy surrounding the recent incident with Russell Brand and Jonathan Ross has subsided I really feel the need to vent a little about it myself. Whilst I am not a huge fan of Jonathan Ross (I consider him to be massively over-rated and more than a little arrogant and unfunny) and am definately not a fan of Russell Brand (I personally think he is not funny, never has been, and is just a complete waste of air that I would love to lock in a box without food or water with Jimmy Carr, Alan Carr and Graham Norton and then set it adrift on the atlantic in the middle of a storm) I do think that the producer and editor of their show is as much, if not more, to blame for the offensive material that has caused all the problems actually being allowed to be broadcast. The two over paid presenters should be punished in some way (as they have been, although I think that Russel Brand may have secretly been trying to get out of his contract so that he can go to America to work on a film and other stuff and so hasn't really had any punishment at all) but so should the producer and editor. I also think that the media compounded the problem by continually repeating extracts from the show and the offensive comments that were made.</p> <p>Well that's that little rant over.</p> <p>A little up date on us. Niki seems to be fine, she's off to work tomorrow and has another terrible journey ahead of her because of the tube lines being suspended all over the place for maintainence but apart from the early start and annoyance of that she's ok. Pete is doing really well, apart from his tendancy to want to do everything we don't want him to or tell him not to, but that's to be expected at his age I suppose. I have a bit of a sore throat and have been feeling a little bit grotty for the last few days but don't really know what it is, I don't really feel ill, just a bit washed out and, of course, there's the on and off depression.</p> <p>My other two children seem to be doing alright, as do their other halves and their own children, which is good, even if they do make me feel old sometimes.</p> <p>I have been asked if I want to sing in a band that a guy I know is in, they do some covers and some of their own stuff, and want to work on more stuff of their own. Having looked at the set list, and considering the fact that I haven't sung with a band for a long time now (and hardly ever sober) I'm not tottally sure if I'm going to do it but I might go along for a rehersal or two just to give it a try.</p> <p>Well, I think that's about all for now,<br> "BRING OUT THE TRUMPETS!"<br> <img src="/img/smilies/icon_wave.gif" alt=":wave:" class="middle" border="0"> </p> <p> <small> <a href="http://kizlode.blog.co.uk/2008/11/01/hello-ian-and-other-stuff-4964441/#comments">Comments</a> </small> </p>trumpetspetesingingscottnikirantdepressionbandbeccahello-ianjonathan-rossjelly-sweetsrussell-brandfamilymusichttp://kizlode.blog.co.uk/2008/11/01/hello-ian-and-other-stuff-4964441/#commentshttp://kizlode.blog.co.uk/2008/10/26/doctors-and-all-that-4932029/tag:kizlode.blog.co.uk,2008-10-26:/2008/10/26/doctors-and-all-that-4932029/Sun, 26 Oct 2008 01:41:18 +0200 <p>Well, I'm now off the happy tablets again, because they were making me feel ill and my doctor said "Well, you'd better stop taking them then." No offer of any kind of replacement or anything, so I suppose I'll just have to put up with the depression.</p> <p>I'm really terrible when it comes to dates, I'm always forgetting peoples birthdays and things. I hate myself for doing it but I just cant seem to find a way of getting any better at it. So, sorry to any one who's birthday or anniversary I have missed, I didn't mean to.</p> <p>I can't think of anything more to say really, except<br> "BRING ON THE TRUMPETS!"</p> <p>See ya<br> <img src="/img/smilies/icon_wave.gif" alt=":wave:" class="middle" border="0"> </p> <p> <small> <a href="http://kizlode.blog.co.uk/2008/10/26/doctors-and-all-that-4932029/#comments">Comments</a> </small> </p>birthdayssweetsdepressionanniversarydoctortrumpetsadverthttp://kizlode.blog.co.uk/2008/10/26/doctors-and-all-that-4932029/#commentshttp://kizlode.blog.co.uk/2008/10/10/again-and-again-again-4847804/tag:kizlode.blog.co.uk,2008-10-10:/2008/10/10/again-and-again-again-4847804/Fri, 10 Oct 2008 02:56:26 +0200 <p>I thank you all for your comments on the birth of my newest grandchild (although I think some may have missed the sarcasm of my posts) <img src="/img/smilies/graysmilewinkgrin.gif" alt=";D" class="middle" border="0"></p> <p>So, now, here I am, yet again, here and here I sit and stay.</p> <p>Back on the happy tablets once more, hoping that they work (the fact that I'm not also drinking my own body weight in cider and scotch at the same time should help with that) and they start working quickly because I've had enough of feeling fed up right now.</p> <p>I've started my Maths GCSE, not looking forward to it completely as words are my thing not numbers, but we shall see what we shall see.</p> <p>Pete's had a cold and is teething, Niki now has a cold and feels pretty rough, I seem to have side stepped the cold for now but I'm sure it will catch up with me at some point.</p> <p>I've managed, and I'm not quite sure how, to record some new songs. I've put two of them on my Kizlode MySpace site, it would be great if anyone wants to if you could have a listen and tell me what you think (good or bad).</p> <p>Anyway, that's me for now, see ya!<br> <img src="/img/smilies/icon_wave.gif" alt=":wave:" class="middle" border="0"> </p> <p> <small> <a href="http://kizlode.blog.co.uk/2008/10/10/again-and-again-again-4847804/#comments">Comments</a> </small> </p>musicpetedepressionmaths-gcsenikimyspacefamilysarcasmbabykizlodehttp://kizlode.blog.co.uk/2008/10/10/again-and-again-again-4847804/#commentshttp://kizlode.blog.co.uk/2008/09/28/some-thing-4793847/tag:kizlode.blog.co.uk,2008-09-28:/2008/09/28/some-thing-4793847/Sun, 28 Sep 2008 23:37:46 +0200 <p>Well, the baby turned up at 6.30 this morning. So I am a grand-dad once again.</p> <p>I have done something which I may live to regret in order to prove that I am not rubbish like the others.
