So I’ve had a lot of really shit things happen to me this year- a lot of them in fairly quick succession. Probably worst year on record for Mr. Alpha. Like Paulie Walnuts says- “You can take 2007 and give it back to the fucking Indians” (minus the racism of course). Anyway, this girl from my primary school got in contact with me just now on facebook. She was really sharp for a child- top reading/maths set, always had her hand up, always had the right answer. A high flyer, or as much as you can be at that age. What’s she up to now? I figured she’d be straight enough still but gone to a good uni, have a well-paid city job.

Nuh uh.

She had a kid at 15/16 and now works in the office of a pest control company. She plans to move ‘out of London’ which means greenbelt suburbia hell. Whatever, maybe she’s happy and this is her dream and I’m sure she loves the kid very much, but today was the first time for months and months that I thought to myself- “You know what, kid? It could be a lot fucking worse.”

The weiner mobile has driven by my work twice today.

Go out there and tell the guy to stop calling you "bro."

Let's totally kiss because I love you.

The "Bro" wasn't what I thought. I saw the person who said it and he pronounced it as a pun on my name. B-Ro. Instead of J Lo. But just as fucking awful.

I am now crushless. Except for you.

Aw. That's where the nuclear wessels are.

Trying out a baritone guitarist tonight for a prospective new lineup. I'm way out of practice, and she hasn't heard of a single favorite band I listed off...she is an experienced studio engineer, though.

If that doesn't scare her off, my drummer's BO is bound to. Gotta try, though...haven't had anything like a functional band for years.

Were. The naval base has been closed for a long time. Now the runways get used for Flea Markets and Mythbusters.
