Interrupted Dream

Last night I had insomnia and could not sleep till after 4.30 am. When I finally did fall asleep I found myself in a dream that I was at the airport on my way back to Thailand with a group of my friends. It was one of those really vivid dreams with lots of detail and I was extremely happy in it. Then 8.30 am a bluddy fire engine and a load of other sirens go passed my window waking me up with a startle. I was gutted in my dream the plane had not even landed yet. Now this dream has just made me m

Tonight is gonna be fun

Tonight I will DJ with my friend Gordon he is the guy who does all the remixes for Blackbeard Records. He has been lucky enough to remix for people like Jill Scott and Jamiroquai. We met when I was DJ'ing in a bar with a few years ago, we live in the same neighborhood so I became good friends with him and his record label partner Toni. In my opinion he is one of the best remixers in the UK at the moment.  if you fancy hearing some of his music have a look here http://www.myspace.com/blackbea

suspect ulcer

Been quite ill and not my self lately. Wont tell ya the symptoms but it's a bit worrying, I never go to the doctors but my friend at work made me. Got to go to the hospital tomorrow for a load a checks.Possible stomach ulcer or something else, doc reckons it's probably related to stress because I have not had more than a couple of  days off in a row from work since I got back from holiday in October. Problem is I can't take off anytime now because my boss flew off to Phuket last night for 6 week

Right girl wrong time

I think I may have made a terrible mistake.I met someone who's company I enjoyed very much, made me smile and we had lots in common, we could chat for hours effortlessly. The girl was not the cutest girl around although very beautiful in her own way but I was more concerned with having fun at the time and meeting girls cos of looks rather than personality.Over time I realised I think about this girl all the time and miss her company much more than any of the girls I was seeing and have seen sinc

Menu

Just been given the task of coming up with a new summer food menu for my bar. We don't have a huge kitchen so I need to think carefully about what to put on it. If anyone has any good ideas please let me know, I am  especially interested in Thai style saladsThanks

Red Red Wine

All my plans for an early evening in last night got canceled when we got a visit from our wine merchants about changing our winter Vino for some lighter summer wines. Of course it would be very wrong of me to purchase any wines without testing a bottle or 3. Now I have just woken and am pleasantly pleased to say that hopefully the wines we are buying wont give my customers a headache from hell the next day as I feel fine this morning.Can't remember much of last night though !!!!!

punched in the face

Saturday night I had an idiot in my bar He was flicking cigarette buts at people and very drunk I asked him to leave and he punched me straight in my face. Bad move on his behalf, he was jumped on by several of my friends who just happen to be fitness instructors, lets just say that before he new it he was outside of my bar a lot worse off than me restrained by 4 guys twice his size before being picked up by the police who where already looking for him for an earlier attack on a doorman in a bar

Crazy

I just had someone add me on MSM who got my ID from TF We spoke for about 5 minutes nothing much just asked her name and profile she said it was jijaa, I looked and could not find her profile so I asked her a few more questions about where she live and job. Then she asked me could I help her with money to study. LOLOf course I said no straight away and within 2 seconds she was off line.Never had an experience like this from anyone on TF before but I will now take my MSM off my profile.

Big move

FINISHED MOVING YESTERDAY   After two weeks of swapping shifts and friends helping me move my record collection and recording studio I have finally got all my new stuff in to my new home.As some of you already know that I was living with some absolutely useless people who would rather go partying then pay the rent. Well it's only been one day out of that place and already I am feeling happy and refreshed and full of life again.It's amazing the difference your surroundings can make to your well b

Thursday night in London

Last night was the first of hopefully many art exhibitions that I organised at the bar I manage in London. I was a bit worried as it was the first one so I did not know how well it would work out. I have put lots of energy organising it with no help from anyone I work  with as the other manager who has been at my bar longer than me thought it was going to be a waste of time, but I convinced our boss we had nothing to lose by trying. As it turned out was a total success, 10 times better tha

Moving on

Yesterday I had a chat with my boss about my living situation. I have been having real problems with the other people in my house share with them getting rent in on time and paying bills. It just so happens that a large room is available above work. The best thing about this is he has said that because I have been working so hard I wont have to pay rent or any bills and can stay as long as I like with this arrangement. This will in effect double my income and make it possible for me to save up f

Oh what a night

Last night I went for a quick drink with a couple of friends at my bar to talk about an event we put on once a year (it's called Camberwell arts week, we put on bands and all sorts of artists show or perform there workout side live) . Well before I know it I have had a few drinks and am in the party mood but my bar is closing and I don't fancy having a lock in with my staff as it's my day off, but then my door men ask me if I want to join them going to an african bar thats open late.  This place
