Rufus Wainwright at Hammersmith Apollo

Oh what a night!
An emotional rollercoaster and a fabulous show as well.
When I arrived I spent 20 minutes in tears just wishing that Sharon could have been there with me to see it, it just felt so wrong being there on my own. Rufus did two sets, the first 30 minutes of set one was a real struggle for me, especially when he played Sanssouci (which was played at Sharon's funeral). I did settle down a bit after that and it was a really wonderful show.

It's a damn shame Sharon wasn't there, she would have loved every minute of it. Rufus just gets better and better with every performance. I am so glad that she introduced me to his music.

The show, as last time, ended with Rufus doing his wonderful rendition of Get Happy. This was the final song played at Sharon's funeral but rather than the tears of Sanssouci that I encountered earlier I just had a big smile on my face from many happy memories.

Off to see Rufus Wainwright tonight

It's a big emotional one for me tonight as I am off to see Rufus Wainwright at the Hammersmith Apollo. Sharon and I had bought tickets on eBay so that we could be a lot closer to the man himself. It's going to be so strange watching Rufus for the third time but without Sharon. I know she'll be there with me but it's going to be really hard.

Just found this on YouTube, seems fairly apt to put this on here and you all know why:

Angel

I'm alone
Yeah, I don't know if I can face the night
I'm in tears and the cryin' that I do is for you
I want your love - Let's break the walls between us
Don't make it tough - I'll put away my pride
Enough's enough I've suffered and I've seen the light

Baby
You're my angel
Come and save me tonight
You're my angel
Come and make it all right

Don't know what I'm gonna do
About this feeling inside
Yes it's true - Loneliness took me for a ride
Without your love - I'm nothing but a begger
Without your love - a dog without a bone
What can I do I'm sleeping in this bed alone

Baby
You're my angel
Come and save me tonight
You're my angel
Come and make it all right

Come and save me tonight

You're the reason I live
You're the reason I die
You're the reason I give
When I break down and cry
Don't need no reason why

Baby, Baby

Baby
You're my angel
Come and save me tonight
You're my angel
Come and make it all right

You're my angel
Come and save me tonight
you're my angel
Come and take me allright
Come and save me tonight, Come and save me tonight, Come and save me tonight,
Come and save me tonight, Come and save me tonight

- Angel (Aersomith)

Chieftains 2 Flames 3

Well that was a much improved game from the Chelmsford Chieftains. I don't mind losing a game when we see a performance like that. If they can continue to play like that every week then I'll be a happy bunny! Perhaps things are finally coming together now. It was great to hear more people joining in the GOALIE, SIEVE chant. Big thumbs up to Guild Flames netminder Joe Watkins for giving us a smile when he left the ice at the end of the game!

Sara's Halloween cocktail party

Sam and I went to Basingstoke to attend Sara's Halloween cocktail party. Lots of dressing up and lost of alcohol was drunk and fabulous time had by all. Party finished at around 4am (including an extra hour for the clocks going back) with the finale being loads of use doing karaoke on SingStar on the PS2

Here's a few pics:

Siren

She stands on the water on the lake of souls
The woman dressed in black,
She stands with her hair in the storm,
And her arms raised to the sky.
She wakes on the water on the lake in the forest,
The Devil and the woman in one,
She siren stares,
and siren sings.

And she's calling.

So I walked to her grave where the sea meets the sand,
And the moon was shining,
And the rain from the storm comes soaking through,
And I looked to her for the things she knew,

And she was calling.

Come to me.

She said,
It's time to face your master,
give me your soul,
Take down your cross for me and I'll throw it to the sky,
She painted heaven, a picture red and black,
Her sweetness, and for all our hearts,

And she's calling.

She gave me revelations,
Delivered me,
Waves drew back and this ship came crashing in.

And she's calling

- Siren (Nosferatu)

My bass gear

Here is my bass gear. The Coffin Case adds a nice touch don't you think?
Will be getting a nice purple lined one soon as well for my other bass (more pics to follow):


Fasten Your Seatbelt

I've just dug out the old Sticky Sweet demos as well as listening to the re-recorded stuff that Mike has done and I am so excited about doing this tour now!
It's a damn shame that Sharon isn't around to see it but I know she'll be there with me anyway with a smile on her face.
I guess I am going to have to do some shopping now, could do with some nice new glitzy stuff to wear on stage! Shopping, YAY!

Love and Lipstick!

Holiday approved!

Well that's it then!
Work have now approved my holiday request so I have no excuse whatsoever for not doing the STICKY SWEET tour in December.
I am excited and nervous at the same time!

K.T.Glitz is back!

OMFG!

I don't know what to say. I used to go by the name of K.T.Glitz back in my glam days when i formed Sticky Sweet with singer Mike Stevenz after one drunken night in Gossips in London. Shit happened, grunge came and Sticky Sweet died.

Mike started up Sticky Sweet again on his own and he plodded along for years with a new line up trying to kick start the old dog. I nearly got involved again once but it never happened.

Well Mike called me tonight and asked if I wanted to re-sling the bass guitar as he needed me to complete the line up for a four date tour supporting ADLER'S APPETITE and KRISTY MAJORS. Adler's Appetite is the band put together by former GUNS N ROSES drummer Steven Adler!!!!!!!!! Kristy Majors used to play for glam legends PRETTY BOY FLOYD (who were and are still one of my favourite bands).

So folks, it looks like good old K.T.Glitz is back and about to have a ball and/or make a complete tit of himself (or possible both)!


N.B. please note the above will only happen if I can get the time off work (now how fucking rock and roll is that????)


Halloween is coming so here's some Elvira!

Long time no speak...............

Wow, has it really be 11 days since I last posted? *blinks*
A week ago I got really ill and have pretty much been out of it since then. This was a nasty virus that I hope I never have the misfortune to come into contact with again. I didn't eat for 5 days, didn't drink properly for the first 2 and had a really rough ride topped off with some chronic rigors that left me aching and tired. Sunday was my first real day where I even felt remotely human again. Went back to work yesterday and I guess I am probably running at 75% at the moment.

Lots of things to talk about, which I'll get posted as soon as I can.

Good to catch up

After work today I headed into Chelmsford and went to James Bryan Opticians just like I used to do EVERY Friday.
Met up with Sandra and Bev and we went for a couple of drinks at The Nag's Head before popping in to Strada for a nice meal.
Sandra then dropped me back home, popped in for the grand tour and a coffee before heading off home. It was great to catch up with Sandra and Bev and we should definately do that moer often, and hopefully next time, Tracy and Claire can come along too.

Ohne Dich ist alles doof



Ohne Dich ist alles doof.
Without you everything is stupid!

Ohne Dich (Without You)

Ich werde in die Tannen gehen
Dahin wo ich sie zuletzt gesehen
Doch der Abend wirft ein Tuch aufs Land
Und auf die Wege hinterm Waldesrand
Und der Wald er steht so schwarz und leer
Weh mir, oh weh
Und die Vögel singen nicht mehr

Ohne dich kann ich nicht sein
Ohne dich
Mit dir bin ich auch allein
Ohne dich
Ohne dich zähl ich die Stunden ohne dich
Mit dir stehen die Sekunden
Lohnen nicht

Auf den Ästen in den Gräben
Ist es nun still und ohne Leben
Und das Atmen fällt mir ach so schwer
Weh mir, oh weh
Und die Vögel singen nicht mehr

Ohne dich kann ich nicht sein
Ohne dich
Mit dir bin ich auch allein
Ohne dich
Ohne dich zähl ich die Stunden ohne dich
Mit dir stehen die Sekunden
Lohnen nicht ohne dich

- Ohne Dich (Rammstein)




TRANSLATION:

I'm going to go into the fir trees
There where I last saw her
But the evening is throwing a cloth upon the land
And upon the ways behind the edge of the forest
And the forest it is so black and empty
Woe is me, oh woe
And the birds sing no more

Without you I cannot be
Without you
With you I am alone too
Without you
Without you I count the hours without you
With you the seconds stand still
They aren't worth it

On the branches in the ditches
It's now silent and without life
And breathing becomes oh so hard for me
Woe is me, oh woe
And the birds sing no more

Without you I cannot be
Without you
With you I am alone too
Without you
Without you I count the hours without you
With you the seconds stand still
They aren't worth it without you

- Ohne Dich (Rammstein)

Monty Python's Dead Parrot sketch, scammer style!

How funny is this............

Tears on my pillow

The last three nights have not been good. LOTS of tears when I get into bed. I can just about hang onto the vague thread of reality that is my life but the pain never goes away at bed time. It just feels so wrong getting into bed and Sharon not being there. Last night I even tried to imagine that she would be there in a short while but of course that was just stupid.

Lady Jaye Breyer P-Orridge RIP (1969 - 2007)


When will it end?

I've known Genesis P-Orridge for many years now and had the fortune to meed Lady Jaye (then known as Miss Jackie) back in 2000 and then again in 2005. She was full of life and energy and was a wonderful warm person to be around.
I can't believe that another one has been taken from us and so young!
Gen my friend, my thoughts are with you during this very dark time.
Lady Jaye will be greatly missed.



World Of Darkness (the beginning...)

And as the ancient mystics have foretold, those of us that are condemned to walk in the darkness shall never see the light again. And as our blood stained tears fall in mourning for that which we have lost we realise that this pain will haunt us forever.

Eternity, all our days, a cruel harsh prison from which there shall never be a merciful release. And on our sleeves, minds and hearts we shall wear our scars for all the world to see, living testament to the cruel hand of fate. And just as our dreams have been taken from our waking hours, so too so shall our sleep be robbed of them. Happiness for us is now but a distant memory, but in our memory is happiness, and should you see us smiling then this is not the now, it is the past for as with our dreams, happiness is no longer a gift that we can treasure.

It is with this realisation that we can have peace in that this is the path that we must tread, for it is destined, and so our journey in this world of darkness begins, walking hand in hand with the ancients and the lost.................

Show Me The Meaning Of Being Lonely

So many words for the broken heart
Its hard to see in a crimson love
So hard to breathe
Walk with me, and maybe
Nights of light so soon become
Wild and free I could feel the sun
Your every wish will be done
They tell me...

Show me the meaning of being lonely
Is this the feeling I need to walk with
Tell me why I cant be there where you are
Theres something missing in my heart

Life goes on as it never ends
Eyes of stone observe the trends
They never say forever gaze
Guilty roads to an endless love
Theres no control
Are you with me now
Your every wish will be done
They tell me

Show me the meaning of being lonely
Is this the feeling I need to walk with
Tell me why I cant be there where you are
Theres something missing in my heart

Theres nowhere to run
I have no place to go
Surrender my heart, body and soul
How can it be youre asking me to feel the things you never show

You are missing in my heart
Tell me why I cant be there where you are

Show me the meaning of being lonely
Is this the feeling I need to walk with
Tell me why I cant be there where you are
Theres something missing in my heart

- Show Me The Meaning Of Being Lonely (Backstreet Boys)

I had too much to dream last night

Actually I didn't. It's quite sad really, ever since Sharon died I have stopped dreaming altogether. Maybe it's because all my dreams have been shattered?

There's an old TOPY proverb that springs to mind:
"Our aim is wakefulness, our enemy is dreamless sleep!

Seems like the enemy has finally got me.
I wish I could dream again. Maybe I'll never dream again. What is there to dream of? The only thing I would class as a dream now can never be reality anyway, it really us just a dream.

This blog still has my NEVER FORGET YOUR DREAMS, THEY ARE THE HOPES OF THE FUTURE line on it. I am not actually sure why now.

My dreams are gone, as are my hopes, and my future.

The happiest fairy tale ever

Once upon a time, a guy asked a girl "Will you marry me?"

The girl said, " NO!"

And the girl lived happily ever after and went shopping, dancing, camping, drank whole bottles of wine, always had a clean house, never had to cook, did whatever the hell she wanted, never argued, didn't get fat, travelled more, had many lovers, didn't save money, and had all the hot water to herself. She went to the theatre, never watched sports, never wore fricken lacy lingerie that went up her butt, had high self esteem, never cried or yelled, felt and looked fabulous all the time.
THE END!

Chieftains win!

Yay, today was a better day, woke up feeling much refreshed!
Sam and I headed off to Chelmsford to see the Chieftains beat Telford Tigers 7 - 5.
Scrappy game but very entertaining as we went armed with cowbells and sieves in an attempt at trying to make more noise at The Riverside rink. Was nice to have lots of people starting to join in our GOALIE, SIEVE chant!

Forbidden Planet, 300 and meeting folk

Well I made it through the day, just about!
I haven't felt this rough for a long time, and yes I know it was a self inflicted injury.
Met Toni and Aaron at North Greenwich and we headed off into London. Dived into Pizza Hut as I needed to eat to try and stay in the land of the living. After that it was off to Forbidden Planet and for once I didn't spend a penny (so I must have been really rough HAHA).
To celebrate being 15 Sam wanted to go and buy the 300 DVD. We went back to North Greenwich and Toni was going to take us to an Asda so Sam could buy it (as it was cheaper there) and then she was going to drop us back at the station so we could go home before taking Aaron to meet her brother.
Turns out Charlton were at home and so the traffic was hell. We ended up having to take Aaron first and so we popped in to Toni's mums and met her brother Jamie. To complete the All Star line up Eddie Barrington turned up (he lives at Toni's mums). Now I haven't seen Eddie for over 18 years so that was a real blast from the past!
We finally made it to Asda and Sam proudly purchased his copy of 300 and then we headed off home.
Got home, had a light meal and watched 300 with Sam and then I crawled into my pit still feeling rough!

Urrrgggh!

Just urrrgggh!
Head from hell is pounding with a vengeance but we ARE going to London to Forbidden Planet (and are leaving in a few minutes)!

Hazel's house warming party & stuff....

After a mad rush I finally made it to Hazel's house warming about an hour later than planned last night.
Lots of wine was drunk and lots of fun was had.
Nice to meet, Chris, Sarah, Laura (again), Kate, Kirsty and David.
Shame you-know-who turned up and took the shine off the edge of the night but hopefully we won't be going down that route anymore!
Staggered off to the train station at 04:30 and got home at at 05:50. Dived into bed only to be woken up at 09:15 with the washing machine being delivered and a head from hell!
Managed to get a small amount of sleep before waking up at 12:00 suddenly realising that Sam and I were supposed to be leaving to go and meet Toni and Aaron for a trip to Forbidden Planet.

Happy Birthday Sam!

Happy 15th Birthday Sam!
It's incredible to think you are this old now!
Hope you have a great day

All my love

Wishing The Hours Away



Dazed in the twilight
I see the mayfly fly
Clustering round streetlamps of a small town
Rush around, around
Flicker to the ground like snow...
Or the embers of a drowsy fire in cinders
Ephemeral, perpetual...
And frail, pale,
Written in water, fading
As the clothes we wore drift to the shore
In waves....
In choirs, in spires.

White dressed... moon blessed...
Milk... breast... flower...
Wishing the hours away...

Time, still fleeting
Transcending, neverending
Still meeting here with eternity
Still hand in hand
Washed clean of sand, like shells...
Then time flies by
And moments die in thousands
Enshrouded, clouded

White dressed... moon blessed
Milk... breast... flower
Wishing the hours away
Soft-fleshed... dark nest...
Miles away.....

- Wishing The Hours Away (All About Eve)

Beauty To My Eyes

Stars have been subjects of poets and priests and girls on bended knees.
I see the heavens looking at you.
I like just looking.
Good enough for two, half for me half for you.
It comes completely simple and true.

'Cause you're beauty to my eyes.
You are the brightest star among the dullest skies.
The only truth among all of these lies.
You're beauty to my eyes.

Now I am dreaming, voice in my head and you are breathing from my bed.
I wake up sensing reeling for you.
And when I'm lucky, blue eyes help me see a secret vision just for me.
I think you know that I see it too

'Cause you're beauty to my eyes.
You are the brightest star among the dullest skies.
The only truth among all of these lies.
You're beauty to my eyes.

Sometimes looking and other times lost.
Always hoping that under light and under certain skies
You'll always know that you are beauty to my eyes.

Now it is day time but it cannot compare to everything that I find there.
First time I saw you darling I knew.

'Cause you're beauty to my eyes.
You are the brightest star among the dullest skies.
The only truth among all of these lies.
You're beauty to my eyes.

'Cause you're beauty to my eyes.
You are the brightest star among the dullest skies.
The only truth among all of these lies.
You're beauty to my eyes.

Sometimes looking and other times lost.
Sometimes looking and other times lost.

Beauty to my eyes
Beauty to my eyes

You're beauty to my eyes
You're beauty to my eyes
You're beauty to my eyes

It's not easy having a good time!

Oh where does it all end?
Someone please give me a break and make things a bit easier for me, just for five minutes at least.

As if last week wasn't bad enough, the CD story continues this week with enough big holes in it to drive a big lorry through.

And talking of big lorrys..... Toni called me last night to say that she was going to Lakeside with her friend Wendy and a lorry drove into the back of her car. They were both OK thankfully but the car has to go in for repairs. Hope it's not too expensive and the car isn't written off by the insurance company. Luckily she'll get a courtesy car as she needs one for her job.

And talking of jobs..... Sophie called me last night to say that she had lost hers! She'll be moving down with me soon so hopefully we can get her employed again as soon as possible.

God isn't this fun, it just keeps coming like a train crash. Sometimes I think that life isn't worth jack.....

And talking of Jack, we can't have him with us where we are so he is having to be rehomed so Sam is a little upset. He's got used to the idea now but it's a real shame. Sophie has found a woman in Stratford upon Avon who will have him so at least he'll be well looked after and loved.

Oh well peeps, downwards and backwards and all that carp!
It's not easy having a good time!

Decipher Reflections

My parachute didn't open
And when my back up failed
The pixie dust prevailed
And I woke up next to you
All I wanted was to hold you

I was born in a city
However small
It held a hospital
For location where I came into being
It was all down hill from there

What do you do
When your life's a disaster
And your moving faster
And its getting harder to breathe

What do you say
If some is right but
You disagree
Even if it's the truth

I was told you are depressed
By a little bird
That was severely hurt
As it did not notice my window
It just flew wherever the wind blows
As it convulsed on the pavement
It whispered I am hated
Your genetic flaws
I said say it all
You cant decipher reflections from reality
But neither can I

I noticed neither can I
I noticed neither can I
I noticed neither can I

You are the circle
I am the square
I have the none cut
You have the cool hair
We both take showers
For almost an hour
But only once a week or two

What do you do
When your life's a disaster
And your moving faster
And its getting harder to breathe

What do you say
If someone is right but
You disagree even if its the truth

Since Yesterday

Just close your eyes and then remember
The thoughts you've locked away
When tomorrow comes you'll wish
You had today

And as we sit here alone
Looking for a reason to go on
It's so clear that all we have now
Are our thoughts of yesterday

If you're still there when it's all over
I'm scared I'll have to say
That a part of you has gone
Since yesterday

And as we sit here alone
Looking for a reason to go on
It's so clear that all we have now
Are our thoughts of yesterday

Well, maybe this could be the ending
With nothing left of you
A hundred wishes couldn't say
I don't want to

And as we sit here alone
Looking for a reason to go on
It's so clear that all we have now
Are our thoughts of yesterday

It's so clear that all we have now
Are thoughts of yesterday

- Since Yesterday (Strawberry Switchblade)

Phone finally works

Had a BT engineer round this morning and the phone finally works, YAY!
