AND ABOVE ALL, WATCH WITH GLITTERING

EYES THE WHOLE WORLD AROUND YOU BECAUSE

THE GREATEST SECRETS ARE ALWAYS HIDDEN

IN THE MOST UNLIKELY PLACES.

Being A Lush Rules

Last night was one of the drunken kind. I learnt about the amount of wine I can drink (not a lot), how much food I can eat before I throw up (not a lot) and how much fun people in suits have (a lot).

Two fantastic moments stood out for me. The 'staunch Catholic' man who told me to become a Catholic before I go to hell, whilst he was downing two pints of beer....classy, and the joint agreement on the train home that my replacement is not cool.

Now I'm living out a true nightmare of a hangover, contemplating a shopping trip and another night on the razzle and laughing in the face of the Idiot, (a name deservedly given to a true wolly of a person).

Being single is quite the refreshing treat although it turns out my flirting skills have not moved on from the days of accidentally on purpose bumping into people and saying something along the lines of "Alright mate, you have cool hair". The best thing is that I can just pass off all my idiotic moments as being down to the drink and not to the fact that I actually do act like that.

As I said being a lush rules.....all I have to do is wash off the smell of last nights toxins and start the routine all over again. Who wants to live to 90 anyway.

Happy...

I'm not sure how it happened but I seem to have stumbled into being a copy writer and I couldn't be happier. Today was probably the best day I have had in months, after being told that I am good at my job I stood next to Ronan Keating in the work cafe. I was then told one of my absolute idols, Bruce Springsteen, was also rehearsing at the same place. I tuned my highly trained, over hearing ears to listen through the paper thin walls of the office and I am pretty sure I could hear 'Hungry Heart' being played. I think I nearly wet myself.

Then came the after work drinks on the terrace with the investors. Two glasses of Champagne a couple of red wines and some Greek canapes later I realised that I really love work. It might not quite be the glamorous highs of writing for a glossy but being paid to write is a dream come true. Sometimes it just takes dedication and the right person to believe in you. The saying 'you never know what's around the corner' couldn't be more true and if there is something you want to do you have to keep trying until you get there. As Mike Skinner would say..."Knocked down five times get up six."

I'm glad to well and truly have seen the back of 2010, and be able to move on. I can't wait to find out what the rest of the year has in store. At the moment I think things can only get better.

My Dream Man

I'm rediscovering Paul Weller, and having a good listen to a couple of CD's I forgot I was given. I think I found his perfect song. 'Frightened' is beautiful. The man is god.

I shakes and fall
Underneath my sheets
The sunlight creeping
From my head down to my feet
Telling me to rise
And face the light again

I plead to dawn
"Don't make me move"
I just want to vanish
And forget all that's true
Just one more night
And i'll be alright

Hoping to be everything you want
Wish I was the man that you thought I was
Waiting to fly up on eagles wings
But truth be told - I'm not that bold - at all

I'm more frightened
White Lightening
So sudden and blinding
Yet no more enlightened
Just a little more frightened

I'm gonna get it back
I'm gonna get it soon
I've just got to catch up
For my world to resume
To be light
And to hold you tight while you dream

And I stand alone
So does everyone
It brings us closer together
As a strange distant sum
So nar so far

Hoping to be everything you want
Wish I was the man that you thought I was
Waiting to fly up on eagles wings
But truth be told - I'm not that bold - at all

I'm just frightened
Woke up this morning like that
And all the roads that lead back
Lead me nothing that is nowhere
-Lonely

-And just a little more frightened
White Lightening
So sudden and blinding
Yet no more enlightened
Just a little more frightened

I am going to spend the year living by this saying.

Neglected

My poor little blog has been neglected by me far too much of late. You see I have been rather busy trying to fit in a life between the hours of 7.30 pm and 10 pm each night. I am getting better at the whole commuting, living, eating and sleeping lark though so I am back in the blogging game as of today.

Many apologies hopefully some good posts will follow.
