I walk home from work every day, so I usually take a different route every couple of days.  I shop, check out Virgin, check out the BB Kings schedule, get home, cook dinner now that Ian is home, and then watch a little tv with him.. sometimes meet Sean at the pub, sometimes Ian's out and Sean's not...

Sometimes I shove them both out.. and I sit on the computer...

Its all rather boring tho... so I try to attend as many concerts as I can.  I really had the craving to pack it all in and just go out following PT around the country...

However, my back and my check book said... "forget about it!!!"

THIS IS ELP

I try to go out as much as possible, concerts are quiet expensive in Paris but there is always a way even if you are broke:   La maison de la Radio the public radio station: they do free concerts , you just have to showup one or two hours earlier to get the tickets mainly Jazz and Classics, the acoustics are splendid. Then  you have a lot of people selling tickets outside the venues, so even for sold out concerts you can always get cheap tickets, you just have to wait for the beginning of the concert and look quiet desinterested and bargain, I  got tickets for Musical Box last week that way. My favourite radio station gives away concert places mainly for Jazz and I go quiet often to  The New Morning a great place for Mainstream Fusion and World. When we stay home we have mainly dinner and look TV or a DVD. When I'm on my own I play guitar or listen to music or try to bring order in my record collection.

Great!


And you can sometimes listen to the New morning jazz concerts en direct at home on the fantastic parisian radio station TSF 89.9!

... these are the good sites of living in a overcrowded, polluted city full of neurotics and neverending public transport strikes.

After school, well I listen to music, avoiding computer as much as possible, but I often end up there anyway, since most of my music is there. After that, supper, then listen to music again, and try to play music, then I sleep with my earphones on, or take a walk outside while listening music all the night because I can't fall asleep... which seem to happen a lot...

In the morning, wake up, eat, drink, then take my walkman, 5-6 CDs, and I'm off to school... (...)

as milder weather allows it these days, after work, i go play golf or hit a couples of buckets; most of the time i can play 18 holes, because the course is less busy at that time. in the winter, after work, i go to ski (cross country): there is a place here where you can ski in the dark!! no hills, just flat all the way! i use to have supper very late (past 8:00): i always eat the same thing! i always eat cold! i take my time then to visit progarchives, rateyourmusic and other sites i have interest.

yes, i have no life, but at least, i can do what i want to do, anytime! i'm a sociopath because i'm more interested in things than in people!! I have the perfect activities to never get a woman: golf & prog rock listen!

today, we had a social meeting with vegetables, wine, cheese & crackers: it was sooooooo boring! after 2 minutes, i wanted to leave! i felt so bad! if i do not get a social life, it is just because i don't feel comfortable with that! i looked at the people talking about useless things and i found them so ridiculous: what really makes me sick in those activities are all the non verbal language: how to react when you stand alone in your corner, after a person stopped to talk to you and goes to talk to another person; you have to shake the hand and thank some influencial people before leaving:  this really annoys me! you are talking to a person and suddenly, another one comes and they both start an animated conversation: and you are left there, all alone: how embarrassing this can be!

i hate social activities!Angry

Put on some good tunes, spark a fatty, put my headphones on and enjoy the ride. I also like to play guitar, surf the net, watch tv, sleep..

That's if im not out with my mates doing the usual, getting stoned and putting on my current "trippiest song i've ever heard"
