My Head is Slowly Dropping of My Neck
I'm starting to suffer from extremely bad headaches from just sitting at the computer and writing stuff. Id love to go outside to write but the weathers rubbish. Im not going to leave the house until wasted ( apart from going to work and helping Ronnie move house on Sunday) I am determined to write ten perfectly crafted songs even it kills me. We are great need of gigs so if anyone reads this and wants us to play please message me. I like playing gigs and it also seems to give me an extra push to write towards. Also Dan appears to like playing gigs, and also appears to like drinking quite a lot and decided we should knock of a bottle of straight rum back before our last gig. This may not have been a great idea due to the stage mainly consisting of holes and masking tape. I would personally love to keep writing this blog more but until I have written my ten songs of life love and larger, it will remain short and sweet anyway here is a some lyrics from a drunken anthem I'm working on.
You broke her heart, and I broke ya nose
Turns out all she wanted, was buying new clothes
But I used my fists to win me my pride
and after all this she tossed me aside!
This songs for the fighters, not the winners, or great.
for the cold and the broken and ones that we hate
and with fists full of steel and hearts full of gold
well stand strong in this battle until we get old
(If I had a fortune id spend it on booze
its not who ya are its just what ya choose)
Were not in the headlines, were not on the news
lets raise our drinks high with nothing to loose
with nothing to loose! you are what ya choose! with nothing to loose!!
These friends are my hero's, they fill me with hope
We walk on this city, with the thinnest of rope
We conquer these mountains, using only our souls
We've swam through the oceans, and walked on the coals.

Nothing New Or Old Or Anything Really
Sorry I haven't updated this for a week. Ive been busy thinking and playing rock and roll shows. To be quite honest nothing interesting has happenned. I guess you have to make intersesting things happpen which is why i want to just wan to run off with my guitar around my back.
The show on Friday at the wagon and horses was amazing! Happy 30 years to Johnny and thank you very much for letting me play your awesome show. The buffet was a tidy affair cheers mate.
I definitely have to say for both me and Dan that playing outside on a bench to a bunch of people beats hands down playing to no one inside. For the interest of those who are wondering who Dan is I am no longer a solo artist me and Dan are erm what you could describe as folk duet that being quite a loose expression. I also like to say thank you to all the people that gave me and Dan all that free beer on Friday night if people continue these stunts i will end up being really fat Greg! On Saturday night I went to the dogs races which was awesome although a little short lived I got to see Grant, Shane, Tom and Grants family all of which I haven't seen for a while. On another note if anyone has a house party this summer that would like me and Dan to play at it let me know i personally prefer playing parties for beer way better atmosphere. Pictures from Friday will hopefully be on there way soon. I have recently restarted up my ever growing addiction to google earth(anyone else use it a lot drop me a message its seriously a full on past time for me) It also has seemingly made me want to travel the world again. Ideally I would love to just busk. My way around the world. This could be seen as possible but I wouldn't like to do it by myself and finding someone to join me at the moment would probably be a bit of a struggle . Although as everyday draws to a close I feel a greater urge to just run off into the abyss. There will be some songs up online hopefully surfacing themselves in a form of a my space page later this week. Also Seen im now not longer a solo artist any ideas for band names ?We may also playing be a gig in Tenbury Wells within the next month or so I will also keep ya posted on that. As long it doesn't get flooded again this year, although going by the weather this week I think this would be unlikely.
My next blog which will be soon will be a lot more interesting Ive just lost something Ii need to complete it. Also If anyone knows of anything cool going on this weekend , let me know as I was supposed to be going to a house party in London but this seems to have fallen through.
Anyway I'm not quite sure why Michael Jackson's unexpected death. Has upset so many people? Joe Strummer, A musician who worked till the day he died to make interesting and diverse music (And also I'm pretty sure sold a large amount of records). Purely because he loved music. Unlike Jackson who quite frankly was pushed greatly into something he didn't want to do. Strummers death got a couple of news item and an interview with Bob Geldof (Who Strummer hated) Anyway I don't wish to go about this any longer as its obviously upset a lot of people who have lost something they loved. I think Jarvis Cocker summed up my opinions on the matter quite precisely on Question Time tonight. So if you want a better argument watch a re run. Anyway to bring this all to a point. Dont forget Jackson, but always remember Strummer.
