This is my very first blog!!!! I hope you enjoy it. Rightio I better introduce myself. I am a 26 year old from Leeds who sings in a rock n roll band. I also have a day job as a postman. My writing style can be a bit loose ... however stick with it and we shall overcome this problem.
I guess that I thought I should do this as everybody else appears to be doing it ... I'm not usually a follower of trends but this is one thing that particularly got me thinking. So what I shall do is use this space to talk about anything and everything that I feel like I need to get off my chest. I will recount some stories from my present and my past (I won't go too much into detail on some though) ... I'll write about my opinions on news stories and talk about music or whatever needs to be talked about ... I would like this space to be a two way medium. The way I see it is some of the best stories come from when people remind you of things ... The smallest thing can trigger a memory, an emotion, or a reaction ... and I love it when that happens ... It's what keeps me going ... Yeah!!!!!!!!
I called this first post 'Love and Destruction' I don't know why ... I just think its a fantastic combination of words. They pretty much go hand in hand. Love is seen as a positive good thing ... However ... think about it in the terms of 'Being in Love'... Love actually cuts off alot of things from your life ... it changes some people ... It changes me... Admittidly it also offers alot of other things too ... I'm not in love right now ... well not in the relationship sense ... I'm in love with other things like the world, music, art, people, friendships ... But I'm not in love with anyone inparticular ... and that allows me to be the person I want to be ... I go around doing my thing ... sometimes I get lonely ... but I've been in love before and sometimes it's the lonliest place in the world. I guess I'm just thinking that if I was to meet a girl now at one of my gigs with no intention of getting involved but things develop and we go out on a few dates ... shes impressed by my band and all that ... Impressed by my persona ... all that stuff ... and then we fall in love ... and that's when comprimise(and destruction) kicks in. Suddenley I'm encouraged not to do as many gigs because we haven't had a quiet night in for a while and X-Factor is on. I comprimise once or twice because it could be nice ... and then it starts becoming the norm ... and music falls by the wayside ... but I've still got the desire to play and meet new people and to drink etc... so my character, my confidence, my swagger and all that becomes a little bit dipleted and I become a different person - Destruction!!!. However I probably become a little more organised ... I probably cook a little more ... I'll watch a bit more telly ... I'll wear nicer clothes and all that ... Nothing wrong with any of that ... Nothing at all!!!!! However its not for Rob Galloway. So gimme my guitar ... Turn my amp up to 8 ... I always start on 8 (I'll explain in a minute)... pass me some bourbon and get out ... I'm not the man you fell in love with ... yes I have changed ... you changed me ... not that you mean to ... Love just destroys the way I liked to live ... and for that one single reason love and destruction in my eyes go hand in hand. One day maybe I'll want to destroy my lifestyle and thats the day I'll look for love to help me do it.
What do you think? Love and Destruction!!! I'm going to type them words into Youtube and see what song comes up - We get this by Warrior Soul http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qG_WnXI7s1A
Rock n Roll!!!!!
Oh Why do I usually start on 8? ... Well 8 is usually loud enough isnt it? and if it isn't then theres always 9 and 10.
