Oh tonight should be fun.
Since I missed the Decadence opening last week I decided make up for it going to a similar club about an hour drive away from where I live, since and old friend linked their myspace page and it seems quite promising.
So that mean I'm gonna get wasted and potentially meet some old buddies I don't get to see very often.
Whatever the case it beats the other proposals for saturday night in Bologna...hipster club often with in house cover band aren't really my thing so I'll take the long drive to greener fields
Even though I'm not to eager on driving with new rocks on, that's pretty much the only thing that's way uncomfortable with them on.
Have a fun saturday night everybody

Well things are rolling along...
Nothing new to report really, I was just tired of that dumb post I had before so here's a new one about...well, nothing.
Pretty much any news I might have now are all about potential things and filled with endless question marks, which adds an overall frustration on me.
After the gig last saturday I met with some old friends from when I used to work as a translator for concerts and apparently they need me again since they started a new booking agency some time ago and that spot has been unstable to say the least. I might accept that position, the reason why I left before is no longer present (even if the guy isn't in jail as he deserved) and from what I understood they no longer work in Milan which is a plus since I hate the place. Still it's not a proper job and that's what I want now, but still it pays something and something is always better than nothing, right?
Also in a month I might fly to London to see a friend, unless something screws up our schedule which hopefully won't happen, so I'm quite excited. I always enjoy spending time with her and we both need to misbehave for a few days, so I won't be surprised if she ends up dragging me by a leash to club Pedestal. Actually that will be quite fun and I won't offer much resistance.
So that's and I hope everything will take the right path.
Take care everybody
oh and cause I have absolutely no taste, I've been listening to these guys a lot lately

I got a hangover, I haven't slept and I feel stuffed...Life is good.
I'll write something with more depth as soon as my brain kicks in

Nothing new to report, I'm dead tired since I pretty much spent the day in my car going around northern italy dodging truck for some stuff I had to take care of. At least I got to see some old friends I hadn't met in some years and it was cool to catch up with them even briefly. I hope I'll get to visit them again soon during a more relaxed situation. Tonight I had to go to the Decadence opening but I received news that an ex girlfriend of mine was there and given the fact our friendship also ended badly recently I prefered to avoid the place. She'll probably be there often but tonight I definitely wasn't in the mood for it, at least I was also tired so it doesn't bother me much that now I'm home instead of getting fucked up in that place.

It's just tuesday and already I got a headache and my ears are ringing...nice...
I got a gig on saturday and since it's the first after a three month break of the band (courtesy of weddings, honeymoons, graduations and random soul searches) preparations are slightly more frantic than usual. Not that it's much of a show really, the only thing I'm looking forward to is the dinner at the club that usually is quite a treat. Other than that nothing new, most of these days will be about these preparations except a night or two where I'll make sure to deteriorate my head and ear status by getting royally fucked up at some club season openings. After all I tend to be masochistic from time to time and this week I'm hell bent on giving my body a whole list of reasons to hate me.
Whatever, I hope everyone else is having a sane, safe and enjoyable week

There are times I love being single, I have to admit that. One of the best examples of such thought I can come up with is related to my band, where I'm the only free guy left. Usually after a gig, while we wait for the ok to pack things up and go home, I kill my time by having a few free drinks and chatting with anyone that comes up to say he or she loved the show. When the time comes to leave I feel purged from the show and always carry the memory of a couple of good conversations I didn't expect. At the same time though my dear bandmates don't get to enjoy such situation since every damn time a girl comes up to them their girlfriends go ballistic, a fight ensures and they get home all pissed off. On the other hand though this status of mine put a huge bullseye on me so when we all go out together said girlfriends try to hook me up with some of their friends in the hopes I'll join the club too.
So far this tactic didn't work that much really, I usually didn't care or if I liked the "proposed target" I would pursue just a one night stand. Nothing more, nothing less and it was all good fun. That was untill a couple of weeks ago when a new girl came on the scene and for whatever reason it struck me more than all the others. Don't know why really, she was a bit too clean cut and fashion savvy to be my type but I guess she seemed nice and fun from the brief conversations we had. Combine this with a good setting things up courtesy of my bassist's wife and I thought it would have been cool to ask her out for dinner and whatever, so I called and last night we had a date. The result? Well...a disaster. No, I guess I'm exagerating here...we didn't leave the restaurant screaming at each other or something like that, it was all pretty civilized in the end, but it was quite clear we had only one thing in common and that was our friends, period. Still I feel I could have finished the date with more than a hug and a "see ya on saturday" but right now I'm glad I didn't push for more, friendship is all that should come out of this.
But no matter the disaster this kept me thinking that I guess it's time I try to put some effort in having a relationship that lasts maybe more than a year. After all I'm 26 and I should be a bit more mature on this subject, because one night stands might be fun and all that but really I've been there and done that too many times. I guess I'll see how to deal with this thing too, definitely I won't accept any other suggestions from friends, but I'll most likely pursue more than a hot night next time I hit on a girl.
Still last night I got to have dinner at my favourite restaurant, so it's all good

Well time for a new blog here, even if honestly there isn't much going on lately.
The weather got really shitty these last few days, much sooner than what I expected but afterall weather just ain't what it used to be. Days tend to be rather grey and it kind of fits my mood, maybe even affecting it, so definitely i'm going through a "keep away from me" moment. I guess it's also because I think I'm going through a transition phase and for the first time I don't have some sort of plan or real change going, so I just feel idle. I'm looking for a job and I know It'll take some time considering how the world goes, but this just sitting on my ass browsing ads on the net is kind of killing me. I really hate feeling useless. Things will get better, I know, life is like a rollercoaster with one moment taking you to the bottom and the other higher than you can imagine and this is a bottom phase. So i can just keep going and hope something changes sooner than later.
Plus insomnia doesn't help, despite I stopped drinking coffee, tea and anything else that can keep me awake.
Whatever, it's just a moment that will come to an end.

Distressing games in distressed times are payed with insomnia.

Yesterday a friend of mine had his birthday so we all went out for dinner. The night was pretty good especially since our glasses were constantly being filled with fine wine getting us all pretty drunk quite fast and obviously prone to very loud and dirty conversations. Yup several glasses of wine make a good night better.
Afterwards we tried to take the party elsewhere but as soon as we found a decent place we all were too drunk to actually care to continue and slowly retreated home. Can't say I remember much of what happened as soon as we stepped foot there, I can only recall one of my friends having a fight with his girlfriend and a four guys I didn't know that where wearing my band's t-shirt...that freaked me out a bit. Sure it's a cool thing and whatever, but for some reason it made me feel slightly uncomfortable (even if I was drunk and full of self confidence). Must be my usual problem with septembers, I always have a sense of impending doom during this time of the year and tend to see even good events as a sign of negative things to come. Time will show, though I kind of miss home right now
