July Update

Hi all. It’s that time of the month again so let’s get straight on with it!

So what’s been happening this month? I all honesty, not a lot. Spent most of the month looking for a job but sadly doesn’t seem to be anything going at the moment that doesn’t already need experience in that particular area. Still at least I still have my weekend job so that‘s bringing in some money and there’s eBay too :p

Saw Pearl & The Puppets in Glasgow at the Apple Store before they headed off to T in the Park. Was a great little evening. You can read the review here or here and see photos on flickr here.

And talking about freebies, seems that I’m having a run of good luck recently. So far, this year

• Won tickets to see Amy Macdonald in Glasgow in March
• Family pass to Edinburgh Zoo (which I offered to a friend of the family as I couldn’t use it)
• Irn Bru Retro Bruzil Shirt
• Found £75 whilst clearing out
• Won tickets to see Shakira in December

Well, they say that you need to be in it to win it. To be honest, I don’t give a second thought when I enter competitions. Guess it’s because there’s the thought of ‘it will never be me’ so when I find out that I do win, it is a bit of a shock :) Here’s to entering more competitions :D

I do have one more thing I need to get off my chest and that I’m surrounded by delusionals! Seriously, why do people think you can just snap your fingers and get where you want to be? Now I’m not saying that it’s not good to have dreams, by all means it is, as it gives you something to focus on. But at least be realistic! I mean, we’d all like to be famous but it doesn’t happen overnight. Allow me to give you an example:
Person A thinks that Artist X can do no wrong. Person A thinks that if they can get the rights to Artist X’s music to feature in a movie they’re planning that it will somehow making that artists career out with Japan/Korea and that will repay all the pirated discs of Artist X’s music.
Now, as much as I and other fans of Artist X would like it, we’re pretty much resigned to the fact that we aren’t going to see Artist X out with Japan/Korea, at least, not for the foreseeable future. Plus, Person A seems to make out that they’re the only person doing any promo…sigh, I sometimes wonder why I bother reading those types of posts….

So what have I got lined up for next month? Well, going to see Amy Macdonald through in Edinburgh at the Corn Exchange. Never been to this venue before so hoping that I can find it alright. I’m led to believe that it’s near Slateford station (it had better be otherwise I’m in trouble!!)

Well, think that all for the moment. Speak to you soon :D
