Time keeps on ticking...
...into the future. Can't believe how quickly the last couple of days/weeks have flown by. My prediction about not blogging regularly was spot-on, I'm afraid. Sorry about that. I don't know yet when I'll get back to my regular form, sad to say. At the moment, I'm trying to work Biblical Hebrew (the language, not the band) into my little noggin. Somewhat staggeringly, I'm finding myself actually enjoying it. Weird, that, but true. What it is, though, is four days a week of hassle - courses in the morning, then homework and cramming for the next day (oh, and a couple of other lectures, of course). I'm going to need the remaining days of the week to revise and review stuff - every week starts with a mock exam. Eye-watering stuff but, like I said, at the moment I'm still enjoying the challenge, so that bodes well, I guess...
What else is new? Well, exciting news is that I'm going to be the single, official main stage manager for this year's Himmelfahrtsfestival, coming up May 25th. Ticket sales are booming, apparently,which is good. I also talked to my all-time favourite sound guy, Jochen, on the phone earlier today and he has confirmed he'll be my monitor guy, which is awesome. This cat (whose CV includes work done for Phil Collins, Jimmy Cliff and Miriam Makeba) is just unbelievable - I used to think I had pretty good hearing, but this dude is in a whole different world when it comes to frequencies and phonograms. Mind-blowing!
Another cool thing is that, as a trio with Hannah and Billy, I've been booked for the Christmas Colours Festival which, as the name intimates, will happen in late December.
So, the rock'n roll quota for my year is looking better by the minute. Now add a couple of days' early spring sunshine, a successful attempt at dieting (another eddyquette first) and you have the perfect recipe for one happy bunny! Yes, folks, I'm doing just grrreat at the minute, glad to say. Knowing me, I may be bombed-out and moaning again by next week, but right now, things are great. Which gives me cause to praise the god I believe in. So, praise God!
Okay, on the downside, I've caught myself fighting my old temptation again a lot, what with all the nice weather and the preety girls out in droves. God is good, though, and is allowing me to be strong as well as giving me the knowledge that he will never turn me away if or when I fall. Now, that's hope for you - or at least, that's what I believe and what keeps me going. Seeeyah!!!
