The imminent death of this mixed up boy
I'm just a fiend without a friend
I don't really have that much to say
I'm only here 'cos the whisky's free
That don't really bother me
I just don't want to say a long goodbye
With a cig in my mouth and my bag hanging off my arm
I didn't think I drank that much but it must've been quite a round
Well, he's shooting his mouth off and I have love in my eyes
Like a prostitute she comes on to me, she says "Hey you, you got a light?"

As you may or may not be aware, my job is not exactly the most exciting one in the world. To give you an idea of exactly how unexciting it can be at times, the highlight of my day today was finding out that one of our clients doesn't actually have its base in Pontypridd as we originally thought but Pontypool. Yup, really, it was that bad...
Still, the weekend beckons now although sadly I shall once again be spending it without emogirl as she's away in Hull for an engagement party. Ah well, looks like I shall be headbanging at "Rock of Ages" on me own (must remember to tell friends that if I get drunk and maudlin and start threatening to ask the DJ to put "Every Rose Has Its Thorn" on to stop me before I get lamped by some biker!!
)
As you may have gathered from the last few journal entries, this has been a seriously depressing week so rather than dwelling on it any longer, here's a joke to try and lighten the mood a bit:
********
Three rats are sitting round a table in a pub comparing "hardman" stories. The first one says, "Just the other day, I was in the cellar and I saw some cheese on a mousetrap. I reached in, took the full weight of the trap on my neck, got the cheese and survived to tell the tale!"
"That's nothing," says the second one. "I was in the cellar the other day and I saw some cheese laid down which had rat poison on it. I scoffed the lot and here I am, still feeling fine!"
At this point, the third rat heads for the door. "Where are you off?" ask the other two. "Ah sod it, I'm bored," he replies, "I'm just gonna head off home and fuck the cat!!"

Hope everyone has a good weekend - speak later.

PS (added Sat morning) Forgot to mention this last night - I've also come up with what may be the design for my first tattoo if I ever get round to sorting it out - what's everyone think?
Oh, some other good news btw (it's about bloody time after the week I've had!!) - I shall be appearing at the Vine in Leeds on Monday August 16th to do a gig as my "god of acoustic rock" alter ego Billy Two Rivers - anyone in the area, get yer arses down there as I need all the moral support I can get!!
And also, thanks to my employers at "Sandman" magazine, I'm off to review gigs by Vicious Cabaret (absolutely frickin' brilliant local band who sound like a really really evil version of the Hives and well and truly rule) and the Dead Pets (local ska-punk legends) for nowt! Yay me! Here's hoping that the big evil black cloud that's been hanging over my week so far is going to have some sort of silver lining to it after all. Speak later y'all.
