country feedback

my course finished on friday and as usual by the time you get to the 5th day of a course your concentration level is low and you are just waiting for the day to end. all in all its a good course and i know a ton of stuff i didnt know before so in that respect it was mission accomplished already even before an exam has been taken.

also had football on thursday night and it was fantastically good. i think its getting to the stage where after not playing for a couple of months, we are now back into it. first couple of weeks are not as enjoyable as usual because you are getting your fitness back up but now things are much better. we should be playing again this thursday night again.

had a couple of calls about contracts and i turned a couple of things down that didnt sound like the direction i want to go in. i want to try and persevere for a bit longer till i find something i really feel enthused about. we shall see how it goes.

gym was good this weekend. had to take the bus yesterday because it was raining and its just depressing riding a bicycle in the rain. went to today on the bike because it dry. well, i say dry, it wasnt, but it wasnt raining although everywhere was damp. that kind of damp when there is no standing water but the road is greasy. it can be a bit slippy on the bike but i am blessed with skills and balance so thats fine then. a couple of drifts but i manage to keep it upright.

and thats about it. today i have mostly been listening to john fruiscante - country feedback. its my favourite REM song ever and i found this version of the red hot chilli peppers guitarist singing it a show in 2001. he had left the peppers a few years earlier as he had said he wasnt enjoying it and i think he had found something else he enjoyed more, namely heroin. thankfully he managed to get through it, though it really did look like he had got himself in a bad way at one point. i think this is him after being clean for a couple of years and back with the peppers again. there is an interview on youtube when he was in the midst of heroin addiction and he is fucked and it looks like he is at deaths door. thankfully he didnt go through it. anyways, enough talk about horse. enjoy this tune. its a fantastic cover.
