Much Ado About Nothing ...
Once again I find myself alone on a Sunday afternoon after what seems like such a long time. My wife and daughter have gone out for a Christmas party and my sister (yes, she lives with me) has gone for Sunday mass. I do not need to be in the studio today because the young Chinese lady we are currently recording has other appointments and I also don't work tonight (yippee), so I do actually have a whole day free. I've had a very busy but productive week and today I've decided that I shall not do anything but vegetate in front of my TV (with season 3 of the 44100) or write an entry for my blog. Well I guess I'm writing my blog first ha ha ... oh well, TV will seem so much more enticing by the time I'm done here. I'm also pretty sure that when this entry is ready for posting, some of my family will be home, but that's ok because these past few hours of quiet is all I needed to get 'ME' back in line with everything else not work related!I was actually toying with the idea of writing about my favourite pastime ... 'FISHING'! How some 'fishermen' fish with a line and tackle and others fish with nets. I think I'm more of a line and tackle man!!! Ha ha ... but then I realized that there's actually nothing much to say about that topic because;
1. Most of the fish who've actually taken a 'whiff' of my 'bait' have been a little skittish
2. Some of them have actually been 'small fry' so I've had to throw them back in
3. Some have been too large to reel in
4. Some have already felt the hooks of other fishermen but can't resist the lure of fresh bait (no ... this is not an autobiography)
BUT most importantly ...
5. All my very close friends would know that I'm not really talking about 'fishing' ... because I really do hate that hobby!
So I thought about that other title I had in mind, 'THE AMERICANS & THEIR BUSH'. Well I have since found out that not all Americans support a Bush ... so that idea went down the drain too! Besides, the political connotations and ramifications of that topic feels a little uncomfortable for me to handle at this point in time LOL!
OPEN SEASON ... that's what I'll write about! Heck, which one, the cartoon or the actual act of hunting! The cartoon is fabulous and there's nothing more anyone could say about it except ... 'WATCH IT'!!!!!! So it's 'hunting' then, well with the exception of carrying the bag of cartridges/ammo for my late grandpa when he used to go hunting for green pigeon, flying fox, squirrel or wild boar ... I actually know next to nothing about it! That's another idea going up in flames!
TOM FOOLERY ... now that's a name that's fascinated me ever since I was kid! It's not just a name, it's an implication! So should I write about 'TOM'? I don't think so because most Toms I've met have not been interesting enough for me to even remember them. Besides, the 'toms' that are really closest to my heart belong on a drum kit! Oh well, 'FOOLERY' then! Now that's an interesting topic, don't you think??? Would you call what I'm doing now 'foolery' or would it be a desperate bid for attention!! Ha ha, a little of both you think? Well it's either this or a picture of a half naked individual to go with the entry. LOL ... I think not! I do want all of you to get past the picture and actually read, even if there's nothing here. Ha ha I think I'll leave the option of a sexy picture open for when I'm really scraping the bottom of my literary bowl!
Oh well, I guess I'll just have to resign myself to writing about my day and other developments with regards to my life as a musician, and being 1/3 of my band BIG GAME! Hope all you people out there have not forgotten about us, we actually have a few surprises in store for all of you this Christmas and guess what ... it's going to be free too. No paying for anything ... YET!!! :o)
Well it's a wonder I've actually got so far with this entry. Ha ha ... everyone should try this because it isn't difficult at all, especially when you have no idea what you want to write about. Just remember to split your subject matter (if any) into as many paragraphs as you can ... I find that gives the illusion of volume. 'Take care and God bless all of you' at the end of your entry makes people think you care ... supposedly, it portrays your sensitive side ha ha ha. A little 'P.S.' after you sign off helps too, it gives the impression that there was something really important you almost forgot to say, a little sense of urgency always helps LOL!
Voila ... like magic, I now have another entry ready for posting. Ha ha, ok so it gives new meaning to the phrase 'much ado about nothing' but at least you now know what my 'nothing' is! Take care and God bless all of you.

P.S. Thank you to all of you who have taken the time and trouble to check the BIG GAME clips out on YouTube. We've not had time to post any new stuff there yet but there should be something new by Christmas! For those of you who haven't visited us there, here are the links;
