shine

there was a point last week after i accepted the contract at the bank that i wanted to change my mind and tell them i was not going to do it after all. i know exactly what is ahead of me and i know its going to be shit. i then went to the gym and had a think about it a bit more. its good to clear your mind and exercise and its condusive to clear thinking. anyways, after my work out i decided that actually i would not back out and just do it but that i would put on a full court press to find something else in the next 3 weeks before i start. sometimes you just need to step back and think clearly about things without any distractions and the gym is a really good place for that. its no coincidence that i study more when i train harder. 

actually there is one distraction at the gym. lingerie model was working out on sunday as well. i got talking to her a couple of weeks ago and it was hard to hold a conversation because she has had a boob job and its spectacular. anyways, she was there again this weekend but i just waved and nodded. its hard to concentrate on what she is saying when i talk to her. will catch up with her next time i see her there. 

also as is usually the case, my phone has started ringing off the hook all of a sudden. there are a few other contracts going at other places and i will take any of them if they come through. will see how it goes. even if something comes up after i start at the bank, its no bother. i also had to fill in the forms for all the security checks that i have to go through and it took about 3 hours to fill all the forms in. welcome back to the world of mind numbing bureaucracy. something is going to come up soon. i can feel it. 

today its depeche mode - shine. this is an album track from the exciter album. glastonbury festival is on next weekend and will be populated by middle class cunts who are into middle of the road shite that gets played on radio 1. the headliners are the rolling stones, mumford and sons and arctic monkeys. i rest my case. depeche mode should have been headlining. they have 3 decades of material and are an important british band, but i guess they probably fall into that middle ground where they are not elder statesman of music nor bright young things that 18 years olds are into. i am glad they are not there. i feel cooler for liking them and they are cooler for not being there. they are still producing new material and not just living off 'everything counts' or 'enjoy the silence'. 

turn the lights down and the music up and enjoy the beautiful sounds and lyrics of one the best bands in the history of british music.
