Greetings. I was going to say greetings to one and all but what exactly does that really mean? One an all? If I'm saying greetings to one, then wouldn't I just come up to you and say 'hi, wassuuuuuuuup!' Or something. If I'm saying hello to loads of you, then I dono, I'd uh, say something different, right? So why one and all?
Oh I dono it's all stupid and pointless anyways. For the record it's 2010 like it is in most parts of the world by now, apart from possibly Hawaii, Alaska, Midway Island and international dateline west.
Given that I don't know anybody from those places apart from Keao who might not even live in Hawaii anymore anyway, I won't waste time writing the three words, 'happy new year' but oh damn, I just did, so consider that my duty done. At this time, I am the only person who is cognicent in my house. My lovely wife Kirsten and son Jake are asleep, but I decided that I couldn't sleep anymore at about 5:58, read for a couple of hours, got up, had a shower, and now I'm here doing this. Once this is done and I've worked out what it is I actually wanted to say, I will return to my book and see what the first of the first 2010 has to say for itself, if anything. Most likely it will say much the same as most other days, but one can never tell can one?
Yesterday was fun though. James Bowden the QWS guy showed up, and spent a few hours here, then we received a visit from Ednun, who I went to college with, who we call Donkey Ed, but only in a nice way. He has a probably quite dangerous fixation with that particular animal so it is fitting. All in all, a nice day.
In the evening when our house was just ours and visitor-free, we watched eastenders, put Jake to bed, had some particularly decent alcahol, and finger-food which passed the evening away quite nicely thank you very much. I admit to not having been bothered to see in midnight, so I cannot say that I was awake last year, but oh well. There's always next year. And the next. and the next too, most likely.

So then, in a very quick year review, what has happened?

Marriage, April 18. Proceeding week, receive visitations from Pam, David, Patrick and Brandon. Also Domica and Iyana's Christening.

Week after wedding, lack of honeymoon due to lack of money. No lottery wins here. Christening party for above sisters, fun.

May 30, turn another age on the calendar for whatever reason. This appears to happen every year without fail, and I haven't yet worked out what causes it.

August 29, Kirsten joins me in the turning a new age thing. Is this some kind of trend?
Also, release my debute album A State of Mind. In following weeks, be notified it hits Amazon UK, Amazon France, Amazon US, and Amazon Germany. Possibly others. Also napster, iTunes, and just recently, CdUniverse.com. I think.

September 21, Jake is born. What a bloody day! Literally and figuratively. Tiring yes, but more for the wife than for myself. I'm just the guy after all. What do I know about letting some kid suck on my tits night after night? Sleep through it that's what.

September 22, my nan, my mother's mother turns 60. Living the life in Barbados, what more could you ask for? sun, sea, sand, sounds all good to me.

If having a kid is considered to be quiet, then the next few weeks are relatively that, as nothing too exciting happens.

October 8, London eye gig for Blind in Business. Fun, not particularly profiteable for myself, but that's alright I suppose. Someone benefited somewhere so that makes it all good. Vaguely.

November 5, Bonfire night. Nothing of import here whatsoever. Nothing. Nothing to record, nothing to show for it. What a dull day that was.

November 6, Charlotte's birthday. That's my crazy sister inlaw who turned 16, and took a trip to New York. Nothing to do with me, but a note on the calendar.

If anything else happened between then and Christmas I don't know. Probably, but nothing of great excitement so ignore it.

December 25, no idea. What's that all about anyway? Is it some sort of significant day I'm supposed to be aware of?

December 27, now ya talkin! food! fooooooooooood at my grandad's. Oh, and on december 25 I just remembered, I had also much much much good food at my inlaws. so that's what it must have been for. Man, how I forgot about the food I don't know.

December 27 till present, pretty quiet, and thus concludes this. How sad.
No truthfully it was a very eventful year I must admit, and i'm certain there are things I forgot but not out of spite, so don't bother suing me. If you think I have anything worth taking away you're mistaken. other than my wife and child which you can't have anyway, and if I forgot something I took part in that had anything to do with you, well I appologise for that also. Not for the taking part you understand, but for the forgetting there of.

Well, I must go now, I've been at this writing lark for what seems like ages, but is only in fact 33 minutes and counting, so that's that. I've only written this much in half an hour? that's quite sad isn't it? Aah well, can't have everything I spose.

Oh, happy new year. Forgot about that.

Yeah I know. I never thought I'd do that again either but apparently I did. Last show from me and arfy8820 this side of 2010 and you can download it here if you want. It's very chilled out, new music, much talk, and kind of a step back to the 2004-2006 days when it was Skype not teamtalk, and the quality tried to be good but failed. Must go to bed at this point, tiredness is making itself known.
Thank you for reading. Thank you even more if you can spair the time to listen. We do this for you after all.

To whom it may concern,
Wishing you and yours a merry/happy Christmas, if you celebrate and if not, good for you.

Right. so today I will be at my inlaws for the usual Christmas dinner and what not, which will be fun. I hope the rest of you have a day worth remembering, I'm sure I will. The last few weeks have been nothing out of the ordinary, hense the reason I've been this quiet, but I figure if I don't post now, I probably won't for the rest of 2009, so get it over and done with. Thus, I did.

May you have a better year than this one, and may you perhaps win the lottery and make millians, but if you do, just remember it was my good wishes that made you get as far as you did, so I expect a 60/40 cut, in my favour. Haa bloody haa.

Piece out. Can't be arsed to say much more. Nothing much more to say.
