Sober Music Appreciation
07/05/11 • 0 Comments

Holy Chuck Norris.  Last night was one of the BEST times of my life! Ventured to the Zoo in the Valley to check out some AMAZING talent. Drove in using my spidey senses (GPS – you are NOT my friend) and surprisingly made it to the carpark conveniently direct opposite the venue. No anxiety attacks for a change! Great start to the night. As I had limited used of my legs (persoal traning session from Weds) I found a seat and was going to remain there for the night, sipping my water (slice of lemon added to jazz it up a bit). Once the live music started, I couldn’t sit down, I was so DRAWN to the sound and the stage that I stood up and sort of danced (swayed? bopped a bit?) to the three acts that were on. Like 4 hours. And I didn’t even THINK about having [...]

Almost didn’t write this..

Went to a gig on Saturday night to watch my Fiance sing. I chose to drive. Well, not really. My housemate doesn’t drive so automatically I am designated driver. Which automatically took away the urge to drink. So rocking up at 10.30pm saw us walk in on an array of people already sloshed to the eyeballs. Speaking of eyeballs, there was one particular girl that who’s eyeballs were so red and bloodshot I wondered if she was on something else. Ordinarily if I’d had a couple of drinks and feeling the buz, I would have been really interested in how she went overseas to an asian country, bought ciggarettes, spend a while figuring out how to open the packet, how she tore the packet trying to get a ciggarette out, then how she felt stupid having to ask someone how to open the packet normally. But I didn’t have any drinks [...]

Can I hear a HSM for Saturday?

Well good morning people! it\’s 9:19 am and I\’ve just woken up from a heavy night of making awesome commentary on the Royal Wedding. Some nice, some not so nice (jealous? perhaps…) but overall got into the excitement like most people. There was cheese and wine and great company. Today, I\’m pretty proud to say I resisted the urge to have a few to get through the evening thus NO fuzzy head – hangover- dark mood – anything like that. The only thing I am feeling right now is slight anxiousness that I shouldn\’t have reset the alarm to get up later for my pending personal training session at 10. Pfft. i can get ready in 5 mins no probs. So while getting ready last night I heard a dancy \’Rhianna\’ song (goes \’Who\’s that chick\’ or something to that effect..) and I shook what my mumma gave me all [...]

Procrastination….?

I can’t quite remember just how I stumbled across HSM, but at the time I thought “Dang that is a great idea”. I’m pretty sure I found it while I had a hangover in fact (ironic? fate?) So I have joined out of curiosity. Because I have sooo many social events coming up in may I decided that I would start on the 1st of June. Hence the title of my first blog. Start of the next financial year. Then I got sick. Nasty, dirty, painful chest infection caught probably through work. So I said to myself “Self – why don’t you just get better and see how you go without drinking at any up coming events” (notice that I didn’t put a question mark – made it a statement to trick Self) So, here I am, blogging about it. I have a plan, see. My plan is to have a personal [...]
