coma white

praise the lord and baby jesus, its sunny and warm today. it was quite mild yesterday evening when we were playing football as well. had fooled myself into thinking that my fitness would be ok, because i had been cycling and going to the gym over the last 4 months since we last played, but it turns out it all counts for shit, when it comes to playing football. we were all struggling after 15 minutes and i played a stinker. i might be missing it next week so my next game will be in 2 weeks time. i think i might hit the treadmill a few times at the gym, before then.

the bank that did the telephone interview with me, wants to call me in for a face to face nterview next week. i know someone who works there and mailed them to ask them what it was like. he didn't make it sound too good. i will go to the interview and see what kind of feeling i get from the place. if its lame i will pass. it is quite a bit more money but to use a footballing metaphor, i am not michael owen, or andriy shevchenko. i am not someone who is just gets blinded by a big contract but ends up leaving liverpool or acmilan only to end up on the bench at chelsea or newcastle a season or two later.

i also got a call from a really good company today who were asking my availability for a contract and i told them i could start in 2 weeks. she said that might not be soon enough. this is all becoming strangely familiar scenario. i know there is peach of a contract out there. i just need them to be a little bit reasonable.

i also heard lots more sad stories about stuff that happened to friends and associates recently on top of what happened to the guys at football recently. i shall not recount them as this could become a very depressing blog, which is worse than what it currently is, which is simply mundane.

today i have mostly been listening to marilyn manson - coma white. this if from the mechanical animals album, which a lot of hard core manson fans hated, but i am not a hardcore fan and i thought it was his best album and i prefer it anitchrist superstar which preceded it. credit to him for trying to so something a little different after a very successful album. one could argue that his recent albums have been safe and back to the formula that made him popular and there is also that fine line between being cool and edgy and just being lame, contrived and deliberately shocking to just get publicity. i think he has skirted with both sides of that line, but then again very few people can get it on the money all the time like a david bowie or prince or nine inch nails.

have a lovely weekend flower.
