RIP...



Early in December I was deeply saddened to hear of the untimely death of one of my favourite artists, Scott Weiland. I was, and still am, a big fan of Stone Temple Pilots and subsequently Velvet Revolver...










I was again saddened to hear of the passing of David Bowie, another favourite of mine, this last Monday. In my opinion he opened doors for so many other to be creative. His collaboration with Queen is one of my favourite songs of all times.










Then, today, Alan Rickman died. Hans Gruber is one of the best villains of all time, I loved him in Love Actually, and no one else should ever again try to play Snape, ever...











Its sad to see the people I grew up watching, admiring and enjoying die. They'll never be forgotten...

RIP...

Then and Now...

So things have changed significantly since I last blogged. Thought I'd do a little recap...


Then
Now
Single (and miserable btw...)
Married (quite happily...)
Childless (miserable about that too...)
Proud papa (two beautiful girls...)
Shitty job (the absolute worst imho...)
Pretty good job (doing quite well at it ...)
In good physical shape (well not too bad…)
In horrible shape (but I’m working on it…)
Bad temper (and easily stressed out…)
Better temper (not as easily stressed…)

It seems to me that things have improved drastically for me. I'm pretty happy with where I am and who I'm here with. Not every day is a walk in the park but its close enough. 

Wish I could go back and tell the me from then that it'll all turn out fine, he was really worried... 

Ah well, he's in here somewhere and knows now...

Here's to maybe...

Many many years ago I had, what I considered to be, a successful blog. It was successful in that it achieved what I wanted it to: I got to be creative, update my readers (not that many) on important goings-on in my life, vent my frustrations and do other bloggy things. My posts were mostly funny, sometimes depressing and generally therapeutic, mostly to me, sometimes to others...

The life happened, the world changed and the blog died. I actually deleted it, but same difference...

I'm not sure if I'm starting to blog again or if this one will die like its predecessor (of the same name) after this post. This may turn into a celebration of the past, a chronicle of the future or a filling in of the in-betweens,  It may come to nothing at all, lets see what happens, shall we?

So here's to maybe...
