so what's life all about, eh?? is it all about tight jeans and glo sticks, the weekend, a house and a family, a mortgage, money in the bank, designer shit, getting pissed, writing poetry, being a bastard or being honest, following the stars, following the tough old road, john fogerty, radio 1, radio 4, radio luxemborg, isles fm?? ? Does money make the world go round? hey man don't need to frown!! You know what i'm sick of:- fake smiles!!, don't you just hate them? We all need to get more exercise, thats for sure. We should all head to the west coast of lewis for a barbecue one day, get pissed and then surf our brains out the next day - that would clear some cob webs away, lets just go. Ticking clocks, tick tock - is life all about what we'll be doing next year or should it be about what we are doing today. What is success, answers on a postcard! We as struggling musicians, we shouldn't really comment but what does it mean to be successful? a record contract, being on the radio and tv - i reckon we should all just try and live without tv for 2 weeks. I thought that the other day walking up a street about 8pm at night and i could see all these tv's in peoples houses. What the fuck? It's like tesco's , they've got us by the balls! Picked up the herald today expecting to see that mad fucker who just killed 32 people in america but the headline was about the fact that 180 people died in Iraq in one day. Fuck me what is happening?? Also that tesco are trying to buy st mirrens ground - they truly are taking over the world. Be vigilant or else we'll wake up and they'll be in our bed. The reason i mention the iraq thing is that it's happening every day over there and we've become numb to the whole thing. Why are they less important than us or americans?????? So it's all becoming heavy here at cmmc hq, i'm pissed and maybe you're pissed but it's ok to just get down your thoughts. I've regretted some things i've written and spoke about in the past. Have you ever told someone what you really feel and they get pissed off?? Who cares eh, as long as we are honest. True friends are those that stick with you, thats what i say. Whether they speak gaelic or not. Have you seen La vita e' bella? If not, please go out and get a copy.
I'm sitting here pished, listening to our album - i think it's a really great thing. My wish is that in 20 years someone somewhere will be sitting pished typing away their thoughts and the thing they are listening to is cmmc, our job will be done. We hope it'll be more than one fucking person but you get what i'm saying. Where would we be without music? There is a song i'm listening to right now called the flying rodleighs, it's my favourite song on the record. It's actuallly about a real trapeeze group and a book i once read. There was a priest called henri nouwen who spent a few weeks with them and then wrote a book about them. The key to it all was the trust aspect. Having to rely on someone catching you every night. Thats what fucking life is about, knowing there is always going to be someone there to catch you when you fall.
so, i'm not sure whether anyone reads this blog as it's a bit outtta the way. If so i do apologise for my swearing. Let me know if anyone reads this, send an email to crashmymodelcar@hotmail.co.uk and just write 'What a Wanker!!!'....then i'll know i'm writing to myself..you see, i don't want to be a writing wanker, if you get my funny drift..
la vita e bella..
