I
rushed to work this morning, running a little late as I managed to turn BOTH my
alarms off. My subconscious in the morning definitely plays tricks on
me, convincing me things like, not going to work, missing my morning run, not
needing an alarm and you will naturally wake up at the right time.
The
reason my normal morning routine was eradicated this morning was I went up to
London last night to a gig.....and WHAT a gig it was.
First
incident was forgetting my ID and not having the time to
go retrieve it. Why is it, that even though I am 25 (and a 1/2) I
still feel the fear after forgetting my ID. I haven't been ID'd in years. But
the fact that it isn't available to you, if this situation arises,
for some reason still puts you on edge! Maybe it's the dread of not having a
cider, in the sun before a gig.
Second
incident is sandwich packaging. I mean REALLY. Who designs and approves these?
I'm not one to normally buy pre made sandwiches, it goes against a lot of my
morals, sandwiches are clearly the easiest thing you can make yourself,
therefore it is never really justified to purchase one that has been made for
you. However, on the rare occasion that I have no time, have to jump on a train
straight from work to attend a gig I bought one (reduced, which lessons the
blow)
WHEN
did sandwich packs become so, unbelievably hard to get in to??!?!?! Pull here,
push this bit in, slightly tare this part, and then it explodes anyway, and
often you loose a part, if not all of the sandwich on the floor.
Note
to self: Stick to home made, easily accessible food in future.
London
IS a pretty cool place really.........Pretty AND cool being the key points of
the last statement. There is no-where that is as aesthetically pleasing
as London, and it was pretty chilly.
I
mastered the drinking but not getting drunk challenge last night. The
key here is clearly water......and having the confidence to say NO.......Saying
this, the pre cider did definitely enhance the musical experience, which I felt
for the first time in a long time. That moment you are completely at one with
the music, the crowd and the true connection to everyone in the room. WHAT A
FEELIN'.
The
support band was a flute playing beat
boxer type situation. I enjoyed it but my friends review was
'council estate reggae', NOT the best review I've ever heard someone say, but I
enjoyed it immensely. It was interesting to hear the views of people though the
medium of music. It's an alternative way of being influenced rather than just
the TV or Internet. And, it's a chosen form, not a fed form.
I
realised while standing there that believing and having faith in what you do,
who you are and having the confidence to go and live the life you want is more
of a common thing than I first realised. I could hear the same messages that I
have been thinking about in the music I was hearing.
All it
takes is one person to change the world, and if you believe you can, then you
will. There is nothing simpler. People don't reach their dreams by just
dreaming, people reach their dreams by believing. It's not external influences
that make things happen, it's the internal belief that it will happen, and then
it does.
