What is it about oz???

I live here: moonlit bournemouth beach

and I love it… I can’t help but wonder if I should try n move to sydney… I’ve almost lost count of how many of my friends are now living there! (is it me??? “lets see how far we can move from Luke!”)

Found out today that another friend of mine (Benton) is emigrating to Sydney in a months time, he got made redundant, has joint Oz/Uk citizenship and basically decided he’s had enough of the UK!

maybe its time to accept those cheesier DJ bookings and rack up a load of money to head down under… hmmm.

Is it that decent uk people have had enough of this country and want to live somewhere hotter thats a bit like blighty?

pondering

thailand…

Life constantly changes, do you hate that or embrace it?

I have a philosophy that I want to look back on my life and say “at least I tried” or “I did this, and it didn’t work out”… and even better “I took a chance and ended up doing… (insert crazy event here)”

and not…

“I wonder what would of happened if…” or “I wish I’d tried…”

I think this is another trait of mine that some people mistake for luck!
(I learnt to accept my failures as part of the journey to success, in fact, if I don’t mess something new/different up at least once a week.. thats a wasted week!!)

So, when the opportunity to go to Thailand for 2 weeks, in just 4 weeks time popped up, I thought about it and then thought, woooooooooo!

It’s going to be tough, squeezing all the bits of work in between now n then… and cashflows not great right now but I have some cunning schemes up my sleeve.

Hope y’all good, leave me some comments and say hi… I know I’ve been lame at staying in touch… and I know you’re reading this… I’m a nerd remember, I know how to read my webstats!

an update on stuff

Where the flinkin’ blip did the last month go?

those of you that know me, will know I cram quite a lot into my life anyway… but these last few weeks! Man… I think I need to be hospitalised to recover!

In the last 2 weeks I’ve:

Been backstage at bestival (see below)
Worked at NEC, got to see Jasper Carrot LIVE… long-ish story, bit random.
Done my 2hr radio show, live from a “secret listener party” on FIRE 107.6
Worked about 45 hours in 4 days for the fantastic Poole Animal Windfest
Sat on a train from Bournemouth > Hereford (130miles) then drove > Shrewsbury (another 50ish) and back in 2 days (one Gran’s not very well… although on the mend a bit now)
Built a site for a friend n techno lover! (I will do some more work on it soon stu, promise!)
Done about 5 days web contracting work
Started my preparation for the Luke Vs MP showdown on Nov 2nd… (more on this soon!)
Moved one lodger out and another one in… fitted a net curtain and some new blinds!!!

If I’ve not spoken to anyone recently, I’m really sorry, literally had only had a few minutes to spare in the last few weeks… I should be doing my reactions, chart return and playlist now but I just can’t be arsed. With 6hrs sleep, I still had only 2hrs 20mins at home in total in last 24hrs… barely time to eat, shower n check my email for any mega urgent stuff.

Anyways, there is a plan forming for a few things…

A manifesto to myself

If re-elected I will strive to:

1. Reduce the amount of weird hours I’m working
2. De-clutter, clean and DIY my flat to the level I want it at
3. Increase the bank balance to more healthy levels
4. Make some time to make tunes and write my book (still pondering doing it on here somehow)
5. Spend more time chillin with friends n loved ones

peace

My New Skill

This weekend, I learnt something new and exciting about myself.

You see I realised that I possess a skill beyond most people’s comprehension!

I can tell you your fortune by reading your empty weetabix bowl. (kind of like tea leaf reading, but more breakfasty)

For only £25, I will give you a bowl of (hot or cold) weetabix (with or withour sugar), you eat it whilst telling me about yourself and then I will be able to interpret the remnants to reveal your future life. Amazing eh?

SPECIAL OFFER: As a reader of aLUKEonLIFE.com I offer you a one time introductory offer, one reading for only £20! Thats a 20% saving!!!

Summer, blink?

“Holes in the sky, where the sun stumbles bleary eyed from behind the clouds, it’s a summers morn”

I think I blinked and missed the summer, ooops.
