rihanna

one of the guys got married last week and he posted on facebook everyday before the wedding about random shit he was doing, and then he facebook posted on the wedding day and now he has gone on honeymoon and its been 3 days and he has posted everyday from his honeymoon. what the fuck?!!. 

you are having that great a time on your honeymoon with your new wife that you feel the need to tap around on your phone and be constantly posting random posts and pics?. i suspect you might not be having that great a time if you are on your phone on your honeymoon. also, he is away in a foreign country and the data roaming charges must be costing him a fortune, but i guess its a price worth paying to project a certain image of yourself on a social network. 

its like he is almost too self conscious when in reality not many people actually give a shit. here is an interesting interview, part of which deals with bands being too self conscious and the rest of it is about society and politics and lots of other interesting things. 

even though it was a 4 day week, it was a struggle. only 4 more weeks till i am out of there. its strange, but had they given me a 6 month contract and i knew i was going to be there for a while longer i would feel more motivated and happy to be there. the fact i know i am leaving soon has completely shot my motivation to bits. this is always one of the toughest part of contracts, when you just need to keep going when you know you will be gone soon and your mind is on the upcoming holiday or the next contract. 

part of me was thinking i should have just booked  a week in los angeles, instead of tokyo, and i know LA quite well now and i could have gone down to san diego for a couple of days and just spent a week laying on a beach in socal and going to baseball games or MLS, or even seeing a band play. it would be easy and very stress free. instead i am going to one of the most crowded cities in the world staying in a metropolitan area of 30 million people. sometimes i wonder if another big bustling city is what i need right now. i am fed up enough with london as it is. 
......and then  i think, no way, its tokyo and its going to be amazing. i think it will be. my mind just wants to take the easy way out sometimes. its a symptom of fatigue. i am on my knees with tiredness these days. 

this is song that was mentioned in the interview i linked to. i agree it is a great song and she is one of the few people doing interesting things in pop music, as opposed to just going back and recreating exactly what was done before and adding nothing to it.
