WHAT A WEEK......
7TH JULY 2008
What a weekend people, one hell of an emotional rollercoaster, from having one of the best days of my life on Saturday, what a cracking high… excuse the pun there…. Saturday couldn’t have been better.
Roll on Sunday, still feeling good, saw The Hulk and that was made better by the appearance of Tony Stark (Iron Man’s secret Identity) in the film, the high continued with The British Grand Prix, followed by one great tennis match between Fed and Nad…
Again it went higher with the new TV Series of Damages on Hallmark and new second season of Dexter starting, then as Detective Messa in CSI NYC would say “Boom”….. brought down to earth with a slam… Think I might write a book about it... the working title will be... "Cam, you're a really nice guy... but, The Life and Times of DJ TC...
Today is not a good day for me, am on a massive downer right now, so with that I’m gonna sign off and say Peace, Unity, Love and Having fun to yawl... I'm sure I'll be back on track soon... maybe not today, maybe not tommorrow, but soon...
3RD JULY 2008
Here’s a first; my dad actually picked up the phone and called me last night, which was really cool. From the tone of his voice and gauging from what he said I get the feeling his is quite worried about me doing the DJing game, esp. since most of my gigs of late has been in The Big Smoke at Corks…
Pops is quite concerned about the whole stabbing situation that seems to have hit London and I can fully understand his sentiments.
I did notice in the Metro today that some bird was acquitted of stabbing another girl to death, even though she admitted to stabbing her, but was crying self defence…. Hummmm… apparently they got into a fight, whilst grappling on the floor she happened upon a steak knife on the floor, so picked up the knife and stuck it in the other girl’s chest…. Me feels that if that story is true, putting the knife through her was optional… could have held it in a threatening manner, sure that would have had a similar but none fatal outcome… you have to wonder if the roles had been reversed would the other girl have got of scot free.
Well folks, 99 days to go before I’ll be heading to sunnier climes to kick back in a four bed condo on my lonesome, supping Bud Light by the pool, topping up my tan and yep I am sure looking forward to it, though hearing about Flyglobespan and their little error of letting a lightning struck airplane fly across the Atlantic, I just hope I get there safely… and on that little worry, I shall say Peace, Unity, Love and Having Fun to yawl…
1st July 2008
3am, I’m still spinning around in bed trying to fall asleep, got the old mobile phone radio on, as I’m one of those people who has to have some kinda background noise going on when I go to sleep… and no I’m not scared of the dark… so on the radio they are talking about the fact that today Holland introduce a smoking ban in public enclosed places.
Maybe, just maybe by the time I heard this next statement I was asleep and dreaming, but it was kinda surreal, this radio show said the following…In Holland you can’t smoke in a public place, but if you’re in a ‘Café’ you can partake of cannabis, so long as you don’t mix it with tobacco”…. How ironic is that….. if the statement is true, but I as I said I was drifting in and out of sleep.
My weekend was ok, my pal B came over with the intention of doing some gaming, he arrived at about 1030 and we then just sat and talked until 1930, and we noticed Independence Day was on, so we plugged into that, man that is a quality B Movie, then B, got a cab home, so we never did any gaming, so to all you doubters out there, blokes can sit together discuss about things and we didn’t even talk about sport at all.
On Sunday I watched V+ to get the hours down, so started watching Flash Gordon… some revamp on the old classic Flash Gordon,…..Now I’m a fan of the old Buster Crabbe and Sam Jones’ Flash Gordon…… but someone needs shooting. This rendition of Flash Gordon has to be the worse Sci Fi series I’ve ever seen… so I deleted all the recorded episodes I hadn’t got round to watching…. Which took my V+ box from 6 hours spare to 19 hours spare…. In a flash….Though, it’s kinda ironic that the 1980 Flash Gordon effectively destroyed Sam Jones career….When I say the worst ever, I mean it's even worse than Space Precinct....
Also at the weekend I communicated the manager of Corks Wine Bar, and we’re on for a Charity Do and also we’re on for a night called BIDD (Back in Da Day)… which will be aimed at 30somethings and older and will be focussed in the 70’s 80’ and 90’s and will be a MOBO lick. Ideally I see BIDD happening quarterly, but check out the “Back In Da Day” group on Facebook, join up for exclusive notifications of up and coming events... In the famous words of Afrika Bambaataa, Peace, Unity, Love and Having Fun….. to yawl
26TH JUNE 2008
Last night what a night, went to get the 1645 train home and…. no not for me… there were problems on the line... we had to in the end go all round the houses, and instead of getting to my home station for 1745, I had the joy of getting there just after 2015…. mmmm just joy….. then on top of all that, I couldn’t even have an ice cold glass of squash, because our local water supply is contaminated with some kind of parasite, so no drinking tap water without boiling it first…. which meant, unfortunately that I had to have an ice cold beer instead…
Go Germany go…. My bet of 2006 is looking good…. At the end of the World Cup in 2006, I put a bet on Germany to win the Euros…. Last night they made the final…. Come on boys, get in there…. I’ve got a feeling for Argentina to win the next world cup…, shall place a bet next Monday….
It’s a bowling day, hopefully we’ll put in a good performance, thing is last week we did ok, but we still got our arses handed to us as we lost 8 zip, thing is we only lost by about 8 – 15 pins in each game, it only I’d bowled to my average I have helped us to victory. Sweet Digits appears to have acquired a sponsor; we are just waiting for the polo shirts to come in the post…
Hey peeps, only 106 days to go before the big 40 in Florida... and with that countdown news, I shall say Peace, Unity, Love and Having Fun to yawl.
25TH JUNE 2008
Last night I went to see Indy and I have say I was overall quite impressed, there will be a review soon. I must try to be unbiased as one of my closest friends is probably one of the most knowledgeable people on the Indiana Jones franchise…. So B… I loved film man….. but there’s always a but….
One thing I forgot to mention yesterday was that I’ve acquired a few more DJ slots. I’m DJing at an after party on 12th July at Corks, the main event is a LIL Pleasures party… LIL Pleasures is similar to Ann Summers, so it one of those kinda parties from 7 – 10 then the club doors open from 10ish for one and all… but the first part is ladies only…. Even I’m not allowed to be there…
So if you’re a lady and you fancy a toys party with a disco thrown in then click on the LIL Pleasures link about to order your tickets… and if you someone who fancies a night out in London, the get yourself down to Corks on 12th July for 10pm… I shall see you there, in the meantime, Peace, Unity, Love and Having Fun to yawl.
24TH JUNE 2008
Well the Toga soiree was the weekend just gone and it was OK… it could have been better in terms of attendance, but I guess that’s fancy dress for ya… whenever this website does an 80’s night or Skool Disco night, they will get 200+, but other themes just don’t cut the mustard.
80’s and Skool Disco theme nights, just don’t take much effort, especially from a blokes point of view, you just dig out the worse tie you got, put on a white shirt and black or grey trousers and job done in terms of Skool Disco attire, but a Toga party means going out and getting stuff and it seems where effort is needed to fit in, then people just rather stay at home…
Big shout goes out to Jack Matser my fellow DJ who turned up with a swollen hand and wasn’t sure he’d be able to DJ, but he soldiered on like a superman…. sounds like a song coming on….
Must say hi and cheers to an old friend… we’ll call her ‘K Newey’ for the sake of the blog, we got in touch via Friends Reunited and been chatting a while and just wanted to say thanks K for the support over recent issues and I’m well chuffed you got my back… if needs be I’ll let you loose on the person in question in due course…
I’m hoping to catch Indy today, I keep putting it off, but hopefully I’ll get the film review out there before I see The Hulk, Wanted, Prince Caspian and Hell Boy 2… there are a few films coming out, though most have been pretty low key, so whilst you’re watching this space for the latest film review, I’ll say, Peace, Unity, Love and Having Fun to yawl.
