GHIII - Slash video

Following New Threads...

It's a new year and I'm following new threads


I got Guitar Hero III as a Christmas present from my children to play on my XBOX 360 allows you to play off against Slash! ----- There's Velvet Revolver DLC available which I found out via xboxgamezone.co.uk/forum ----- I then bounced to Slash and Slither & She Builds Quick Machines on YouTube. ----- This led to me downloading Velvet Revolver's album Libertad from iTunes store and then buying Slash's Snake Pit - it's five o'clock somewhere and Velvet Revolver's Contraband ----- There's an acoustic version of Slither over on MySpace. ----- This led me on to anticipating Rock Band which although out in US, makes its debut in UK in March. ----- This led me on to buying the book Slash which is interesting from a study of addiction perspective for me as I also start another job soon, a temporary project working at a day centre in Bristol.

This is all an expanding horizon for me because although I bought You Could Be Mine by Guns N Roses when it was the soundtrack for Terminator 2, I missed out on the whole Snake Pit / Velvet Revolver thing.

New Year!

The New Year

Christmas fades
As each of the 12 days roll languorously into each other.
A New Year bursts forth in firework glory.
Now, as I collect the spent casings of exuberance that litter the pavements of this new day
I start to focus upon new beginnings...

Christmas!

Boxing Day

I felt a fraud
Boxing Day had passed into Boxing Day Night and I hadn't boxed,
I hadn't even punched the air!
Looking at it obliquely, I hadn't packaged anything either. Nor had I even broken down a box at work which would have allowed me the opportunity to say I had deconstructed Boxing Day, a semblance of engagement.
But, there you have it. Boxing Day had gone and I hadn't boxed.

Christmas!

Christmas Day

Some b*st*rd broke into our house last night!

They came in via the chimney, There were black bootprints all across the carpet (a mans I'd say).

They had it away with all the mince pies and drank my sherry and what's more, they even raided the kitchen and took vegetables! Well, some carrots were missing...

They spread boxes all around the front room making a right mess I can tell you.

Well, If I catch him I'm going to hang him up by his chestnuts and roast him over an open fire.

Christmas Eve...

'twas the night before Christmas
And all through the flat
Not a creature was stirring
Not even a rat...

Christmas is coming...

Christmas was coming
Geese were clapping on weight like there was no tomorrow
And hats were full of assorted coinage from all the four corners of the globe.
It mattered not that one had neither low denomination currency
Nor the lowest denomination, currently in circulation and legal tender itself
For God in his heaven would shower his beneficence, like the snow that would surely fall
On all.
