PR stands for Pricking Round...
There is a plan in this business park to organise a human chain of 400 people and then get the media in to cover the event in order to raise awareness and money for the victims of the tsunami in Asia. In all honesty, who is not aware of this already? I wrote to the park manager in order to express my concern that this was a publicity stunt on the back of the tragic death of an employee of the park, (along with the fact that I know the guy organising it is a PR Prick) but stating clearly that the fund-raising part was a good idea. Next thing, I get a call from this PR guy himself who promptly accuses me of being uncharitable and hampering an important event! I explained that I was not being uncharitable, where upon the slimey git said "Oh I didn't mean YO-O-OU, I mean some companies...."
Yes, and I am Barbara Streisland. Next thing he asks who he can speak to in HR so as to get things speeded up. Little bollix. I told him politely to fuck off and wait til he hears from us. I hate that kind of shit. I have just sent an email to the park manager asking if they will guarantee us that no Branding or Logos will be used by anyone involved in the project. Think I'm being cynical? Well aside from the fact this guy is famous in this city for having done so before let me tell you a little personal experience.
A few years back my friend was murdered (incidently, they never found who did it) and a "Benefit" night was organised in her honour. It turns out that the family never agreed to it, secondly that the guy organising it was never a friend of the victim's, and that he had sold all these malicious stories to the papers about the victim which were very hurtful to the family as well as being complete lies, in order to gain free publicity for his band. People just love a tragedy. And here I am writing about it - the irony is not lost, trust me.
Anyway, I was ready to go pop, so I just had to get it out of my system. Aside from that I am still in a ludicrously good mood. I have been listening to great music, and I made a great track that's a mix of industrial guitar and vocals with electronica. It's not finished as I am still programming it at a friend's house, but I am definately getting my own equipment now.
Also meeting up with Gluin and the other boy sorted out a lot for me. I feel like I don't want to be chasing people. I feel like if someone cares they will approach me at some point. I want respect...without it I'm not interested. Besides, worrying about boys just stops me doing other things. This way I can throw my energy into working on music and such.
It's a strange thing, but being single for 3 years has brought me (eventually) round to the person I was before, that I thought I'd lost. I have my energy and zeal back, I also have some of my lust for music back, and things are once again all possible. There is no such thing as impossible.
I may take a welding course also, but we will see. I hope I stay this person for a while now.
