Right I don't expect people read those but I can share it all if anyone bothered, that is my highlight of this year 2008, month by month in brief:
January:
Going to 5 gigs in that month was surprised me. Normally January was a quiet month. Rolo Tomassi was the best band I have discovered this year.
While everyone at work recovered from flu. It was my turn to be ill, I had no voice and yet still came in and worked has suffered me.
February:
Stalking BRS; Chinese new year, got three valentines cards (first time in 27 years I have got a card on the day that I don’t really give a fuck, how weird?)
Laura got a sack while Chris and I got a verbal warning at work. My hatred of my boss Dupe has started, as was I Was A Crap Scout as I drove up all the way to Cambridge just to see Rolo Tomassi and it got cancelled!
March:
Hardly have any highlight for me. Hardly have anything made me happy
I have been slagged off by the store owner, Dupe in favour of Franck made me felt isolated and losing my motivation. In no win situation and Kylie wanted to leave I was thinking of quitting even though I love the staffs I was working with (most of them)
April:
BRS stalking start again, playing cowbell in front of 600 people with the band was fun, something will live in my memory for a long time.
Planning to go up north and see Lisa but couldn’t make it in the end. Work has gone bad to worse, I was so close to move to Canterbury store successfully and already hand in my notice, but store owner blocked my move by complaining to headquarter. After a long chat with Dupe and some thought from myself I decided to withdraw my notice. Kylie has gone, since then she didn’t talk to me even found a new job she told Chris but not me. I always treated her as my friend but I was upset by what she did.
May:
Primavera Sound and trip to Barcelona was brilliant. Discovered few bands, saw Portishead twice, get involved on Holy Fuck stage invasion, getting first metro train then got myself locked outside and slept on the front door. Ace time!
Kylie and I stopped talking each other and she still owed me 1000 quid, and she sent me a text by called me ‘a cunt’
June:
Nothing much happened, Sarah suggested me not to talk to Kylie anymore but I decided to give her second chance as she apologised for what she has done. We kissed and made up.
I have been accused racist at work by Jack, who then turn out to be rebellion worker. Also Franck had visa problem and could not come back to work for weeks.
July:
Shit summer started. Jane has left, I had a bust up with Jack and the only weekend I asked for day off was completely ruined because of him. The only good news was that store owner (who hate me) step down and his dad (who actually like me) in charge. That and my strong mentality made me not to leave
August:
Shit summer continued, double shift almost everyday last year, same thing happened this year. Jack mugged me off and I end up doing 25 hours in 2 days. Then he has done a sick leaves for 2 weeks left to piss me and Dupe off. Laura has gone off with me because we had an argument on the phone.
Ra Ra Riot and meet up with few people on Ra Ra Riot gigs was my only highlight for my wonderful (NOT!) summer.
September:
Kylie promised me to pay me back some money, but she failed her promise and ran away for a week, she left me on debt again and I felt like an idiot by giving her a second chance. This time, I listened to Sarah advice, ignored what happen just have a good time at Bestival. Even though I have no money I still had a great time at Bestival. Seeing people did mud slide and mud wrestling, everybody dressed up on the weekend lighten up despite the shitty weather. Bestival has also become my favourite festival and turning point of my life. To make it better I got myself a pay rise.
October:
Another good month, seeing my best friends on this month. Came up north to see Lisa (13 months since I had seen her!) and got pissed up, first time ever been so drunk in BRS gig, missed my shout out from Steven. Then later that month I came across to Shropshire to see Sarah (10 months since I had seen her!) and stayed with her for weekend. Went to lots of places like Cadbury World, shopping in Worcester and Bullring. Got her a handbag she loved as her christmas present.
November:
Very happy for Sarah, she passed her theory test early November then passed her driving test on late November. Planning how much I need to save to complete my investments has restricted my frequent visit to London. However, I discovered so many things, Oprington is the best place if I want to stay in London till very late; Monday is my favourite day at work; Little Boots live set is a lot better than I expected.
December:
Witnessed my gig of the year. Coheed and Cambria played first and third album at the venue which will close next year. Came up to see Lisa again and witnessed her pint was glowing (well, she dropped her blackberry in her pint). Found out Kylie still not pass her theory test and Jack work as a bin man made me had the last laugh for end of the year.
Well overall I don't think it was a bad year, could be worse! This year I definitely find my real friends who care about me and trustworthy, yep thats right Sarah, Rob, Chris and Lisa, I was talking about you, thanks you! Now 3 blogs in one day, I can fuck off to bed, happy new year! don't say to me "happy new year" yet till 26th Jan, I only do Chinese New Year ;)
