Light At The End Of The Tunnel

Looking back at the comments on my blog from a long time ago (end of 2005, I think)...I found this.

"Hey Tom, I find you very interesting. It could be that you're in London making your way, you write about it with not that woe-is-me sense of desperation or somebody-save-me victim attitude, but with the insight to know that you will make it."

Thanks Bri.

Come on people, throw me some more positive energy. Or as I said once before...give me $2 million dollars to buy synthesisers and I'll change the world!

I'm back on fighting form. Prepare for great things.

Tom.

Fresh Starts

I am having an epiphany of sorts at the moment.

Everything seems to be aligning in preparation for a fresh start.

We -The Change- had a good rehearsal at the weekend, and look set for a barnstorming set on March 27th at Cafe 1001 in Brick Lane. I hope that our "Pink Floyd on a fiver" film projections are ready to roll.

I am increasingly broke at the moment, which doesn't bode well for moving at the end of the month, but is something that I'll just have to rise above. I had a record company send me through some business stats on the record deal front today. I think that originally they were interested in just me, but it will be a Change record that gets released. We tried recording at the weekend, and though we didn't get the results we wanted...fuck me...the bassist and drummer are good. I would feel as though I was in safe hands, if I wasn't the paranoid soul that I am.

What else? I am writing a new opera. The treatment is fantastic, the lyrics and literary side of it are very strong. There is a distinct lack of music in the process thus far, but the ideas that I am going to apply are really interesting. Particularly if you like Steve Reich.

I don't write here much anymore. I can't be candid because if you search for my name on Google, this is the first thing that comes up and so this particular avenue has been screwed, which is depressing frankly. I could always take the Clark Kent route and adopt an alter ego, but in terms of a personal journal, I think that is a load of balls.

I might write here a bit more in the future. I might give facebook a whirl, a lot of my aristo friends seem to recommend it.

Tom.
