I'm sitting here, finally have a minute to relax (ish), so feel like I should write something at least. Nothing too deep I guess. I think I'm gradually getting in to the Xmas spirit, again, I'm not religious, but Xmas to 'non believers' (Oh I believe....Terje Haakonsen, you are my God) is a time of family 'happiness', of unwrapping ridiculously overpriced gifts, eating that spare turkey leg, drinking that extra beer. I'm not going to bore people to death over the 'true' meaning of Xmas, we all have our own opinions, so be it. But I think we should see Xmas as a means of how to live our life. I mean I don't quite understand why it takes a 'special' event for us to put that extra bit of effort in, whether its visiting someone we haven't seen for a while, or sending someone a token of our appreciation. I had a conversation earlier today about living your life like everyday was your birthday, or indeed Xmas. I don't believe the motivation for 1 day should create such 'hype'....I'm not saying it's a bad thing of course, it's good if 1 or 2 days a year we are extra happy for example, but I think we should all live everyday to the fullest extent we can. If only it was that easy to 'pretend' everyday was Xmas (or a holiday day).....I guess I'm subtly moaning again...about not having a 'positive' lifestyle (oh irony if ever I saw it) but may be there is some truth in it...who knows?!
One thing I can say, if I here f**king Slade one more time, I swear I'm gunna freak out.....check out this video.....I don't think I've ever seen Slade actually sing live/play guitar properly (check out the guitar actually changes notes and everything even when they take their hands off it...amazing this modern technology) etc etc. Ironically (again) this is the year of my birth....thank f**k times have changed......well sort of.....
