A wicked weekend all round, I’d forgotten how much fun Cardiff could be… got quite a lot of studio time fitted in and then a blinding night at Censo… followed by recovery (more beer) sat outside in the Square and then for a couple at a ragged looking casa (man, that place needs a refit!).

But… thats it, I’m def. going into detox for a while… creme egg cold turkey and no beer!

Cheers to all who came down, a good crowd always makes for a good night!

The next one for me at Censo is May 12th with Vicky Devine! Yikes…

Onwards n upwards… some tough times ahead, lots to do… more later…

UPDATE: They loved it so much, we’re doing next bank holiday too… April 30th - wooo!

              

Tis the season… to eat creme eggs! Yum, I loves ‘em… in fact I think I’m properly addicted, I’m eating at least 1 a day! I’ll stop on monday… probably…

anyway… talking earlier, I realised that my life at the moment feels like a game of whack-a-mole, you know the one, little moles pop up from holes and you hit them with a mallet… great fun but the more you hit, the more that come up… and they get faster… and more frequent… and more than one at once… thats my life!

I’m doing things, but the faster I do them, the more they pop up… quicker n quicker.. one down… two up… aaaahhhhhhrrrgggggghhhh!

Well, time for a break, I’m off to Cardiff tomo… if you’re in Bournemouth on Sunday - come n see me spin at Censo, I’m playing Electro n house classics from 12, Stu aka the weatherman is on after me. Woooo! Email me for guesty.

oooh almost forgot! The latest installment of 2manygenres is up on polysonic music, an absolute beauty this week, perfect for the Easter Bank (drink) Holiday… of course if you subscribed, you’d already have it… winner!

Hope y’all have a good one… see you next week… when the hangover goes…

              

Yesterday I invited a friend over to lunch… (being known for my slightly un-orthodox cooking methods) in a moment of inspired genius, she decided that rather than me cook something, she would challenge me to a bout of ready, steady… cook!

So, shortly she’ll be arriving with £5 worth of ingredients, which are unknown to me and expecting me to russle up some form of culinary delight within 20mins… wow, my life is non-stop keeeeraaaazzzzeee fun kids!

I’m sure you’re all dying to know what happens, so I’ll post a pic and recipe here for you later…

“it’s Luke’s Cooking Corner and here’s your host… Luuuuuuke Dubyaaaaaaah! Ready, Steady… dubyah cook!”

I’ll get my coat…

Ingredients:
Carrot
Leek
Wholegrain Rice
Chicken
Small tin of tomatoes
Red Onion
Button Mushrooms (to follow mr spoon…)

Gently fried the leeks and onion in butter and olive oil, with pepper and basil.
Cut the chicken up and browned it off with paprika and pepper.
Start the rice.
Pile everything into the same pan, add mushrooms and tomatoes a tiny bit of flour to thicken the juices… then the rice…

voila a Chicken n leek goulash/risotto:

tiny bit disappointed.. I wanted a challenge! Some weird piece of fish, or an obscure veggie… ah well, maybe next time…

              

…I was thinking about the littlest hobo… that poor dog, never did get home…

(click for theme tune!)

In my quest to check if he did make it home (he didn’t) I did find out a useless fact though…

“A then-unknown Mike Myers appeared in an episode of The Littlest Hobo. He played a paraplegic Frisbee thrower’s friend.”

Which made me chuckle oncemore…

              

Ooops, I always forget birthdays, it doesn’t matter if i write them down… store them in an organiser… leave notes in my phone… I just forget! I think maybe my brain is lacking some part that lets you remember…

Anyway, just a quick one to say that I missed a birthday of sorts last month on 14th March… aLUKEonLIFE was 1 year old! Wow, it kinda seems like its been longer… but also where did that year go??

Hmmm. Happy Birthday to my website! (what a nerd)

              

I don’t mind shopping… but I don’t think I’m that good at it. So, after failing miserably to find a shirt on thursday, I enlisted the services of a personal shopper/stylist!

WOW! I’m never shopping alone again… the planned 1 shirt turned into 3 awesome shirts, a cool coat and some much needed trainers… for the sum total of £120, WINNER!

Even if I do say so myself… I looked hot last night!

Weird isn’t it though? I’m not exactly a shallow person, yet appearence IS important to me, I think part of it is image generally… selling yourself as a DJ/Life coach/whatever requires that you look a certain way sometimes.

I’d be lying if I said looks aren’t important, thinking about it, its just niave to say they don’t matter… our fundamental human existence is due to finding a desirable mate… a reputable business colleague or a trustworthy friend - image and first impression play a big part in that.

It’s like networking… I meet so many wannabe DJ’s who just expect to get gigs… they work hard perfecting a set, finding tunes… but dont spend any time on their “brand”, how people see them (online presence, CD’s…) or working at networking, its a required skill… but too often you hear the moan (from idiots, who just don’t get it) “it’s not how good you are, it’s who you know..” well do something about it you plonk stain.

Something stands in the way of your goals… fix it!

Hmm… hungover ramblings finished for now.. Peace. X
