Friends
thesingingwalrus:
We give thanks for friends.
Our dear friends.
We anger each other.
We fail each other.
We share this sad earth, this tender life, this precious time.
Such richness. Such wildness.
Together we are blown about.
Together we are dragged along.
All this delight.
All this suffering.
All this forgiving life.
We hold it together.
Amen

I’ll leave you with some groovy muff related tweets, just because. Because who can get enough? Of that stuff?
“He found himself miffed by his lack of muffs. She miffled: Boy, one good muff is more than enough..”
“Then she lead him to muffytown, where he miffled & muffled till they were muffed. He was no longer miffed, it was a great muff”

Hi Tumblrs & Tweeps. Cool Cats & Freaks. Doll Faces & Geeks.
Back to work in the morning. I hate staying in on Weekend nights, as I did last night, & Fri (though visited shops in town after work) as free time is increasingly hard to find. Band Prac was good though & I didn’t feel energised or feel like anyone would enjoy the mood I was in
Been sulky & tired all...

Kill The Messenger by Head Full of Steam
Kill The Messenger live at Rosemount Hotel, 14 July 2011. Video by Lyla Rovello Twas a favourite gig of mine this year, with The Darlings & Starcleaner & Dam Few & on this particular night I felt like the venue was lucky to have us. Really good music

Why Not? live by Head Full of Steam on @MusosTogether http://www.musicianstogether.com
A raggedy garagey pop song addition to our live set. A fun break to the weighty, intense material I’ve been writing lately. Also, slightly to my surprise, a favourite with the boys to record late this year
Would kind of like to say it’s autobiographical, but it’s more from conversations

LOVE LIZA
Brief Description, by me: A grief stricken man, in the aftermath of his wife’s suicide takes to gas huffing.
Love Liza is a very good film & it’s as good a performance from Philip Seymour Hoffman as he’s ever given. Kathy Bates is completely believable & affecting too. It’s also very very sad & made my housemates wonder what the hell is wrong with...
I didn’t think much about how I go to the same place in the same park for a lunch break/get out of the office & read break, till someone was sitting on MY spot on the grass! How dare he sit in MY spot!? Fortunately he was gone real quick & I could wind down a while in my happy place.
A co-worker was also nice enough to bring in a nice ipod dock with real good speakers for the music...

Me after what they call hot cupping therapy, to ease the huge amount of tension & knots in my upper back & shoulders. I wouldn’t have minded looking like this for a week if it had’ve worked :/ I am a monsteur
Having lunch with my Dad and family for Father’s Day on Sunday. That’s a bad one of my Dad at the bottom, sorry Dad. 10 second timer doesn’t always get you looking your best. Not that I’d want you viewing this page anyway. By the way Father’s Day is Sunday 4th here. I noticed some of you in other parts of the world have it on other dates, I had a huge panic a month...

My computer is playing up to the point where I’ll need to get a new one. I don’t really like it enough to spend near the same amount on repairs.
Have missed the informative, or at least interesting posts on here & it’s nice to check up on you folks.
I had some important stuff to do that is a hassle on my phone, but of course I had to stop by here. I’m at one of the...

B & W edit on Picasa by me
Great music & company. I screamed out my soul on the chorus of a new song I’d been waiting to play live for ages, called Devil Train Blues. I could hear the guys very well behind & to the right of me & they sounded real good so spurred me on. Cheers Mick (Drums) &...
