I’ve accepted an offer of a job today, working as an account manager for an internet company based in Poole.

The plans back on track, now I can:

1) Concentrate on making tunes – off to the PointA studios in Bos Vegas after this… I’ve bought the latest issue of computer music.. have a full days studio stuff planned tomo with James Herkes… remixes of “electronic sunshine” should all be done next week for a promo mail out

2) Finish the eBook site v2 – update the eBook (minor edits), make a sales page etc..

3) Buy a car… yep… sadly (ish) I need to get a car, have some funds so that’s ok.

4) Focus on good gigs, playing tunes I love… not for the money – I’m playing for Ministry of Sound presents Euphoria (in room 2) this Saturday at the Mud Club in Bognor Regis! (haha) oh and with Paul Van Dyk @ Slinky on June 6th!!

5) Keep on swimmin’ – sponsor me you fools >>>>>>>>>>

6) Learn spanish (?)

My weekends tend to involve a few key ingredients…

1) A crazy night out – Stealth vs Rescued (JoJo from Bugged out was good) – CHECK

2) Good Food – Yo! Sushi AND… “the cheesecake shop” hmmmm… food on a conveyor belt, winner… we bought 1/4 of Mango continental cheesecake (the proper sloppier kind – my favourite), Chocolate Berry baked cheesecake (yum) and blueberry baked cheesecake.

3) Animals! Decided to go for a walk to wollaton (I think) park… on the day the RSPCA had a dog show!!! Hahaha… saw some gorgeous dogs (I want one), the highlight had to be owners taking their dogs through the agility course, hysterical… most had to be dragged/coaxed/pushed through all the obstacles… some just kinda ran crazily.

On this occasion though, I merged a couple of these together… Lucy’s flatmates hamster Aristotle was awake when we got in – eeeee I want one!!!

Full pictures here

Oooh I almost forgot, I had Magic Corn – BBQ flavour… erm… basically sweet corn.. in a cup with a bit of butter and a flavouring, shaken (a la cocktail) and eaten on the go… keraaaazzeeee

Gaaaaah I’m feeling like a performing seal.

Someone throw me a fish, please.

I’m determined that I will get a job, its just taking so much more time than I ever imagined.. next week though I have the 3rd interview for a cool job, it’d mean a company car or paid mileage (2 days a week with clients on site)… which is ok I guess, bit of a pain.. I’m told by the agent that I’ll have a 2nd interview with a start up I went to see this week, I think I’d prob prefer that job (just), more scope to get my teeth into.

Instincts are a weird one aren’t they… this one job I went too, I can’t find a logical reason why, but my instincts tell me “No”. Odd.

Swam 72 yesterday, woop, SPONSOR ME >>>>>>

Off to Notts to see Lucy this weekend, so far our plans consist of Yo! Sushi.. a cheesecake shop visit… returning to the all you can eat chinese place (amazing).. hmmm food. 🙂

I’m all for people getting married… celebrating their love and bla bla bla… but jeez, is it me or do these things come in waves??

In 2 weeks time, I have 3 weddings in one week… Wed, Fri and Sat!!!

I think I need to put aside money into a wedding fund, with an overseas wedding (well jersey)… various hotel bills… presents.. travel… its all adding up, when you only have limited income.

In other news, i’m not really a tightwad.

The job hunting is still moving… slowly… got another interview tomo and a third (yes third for 1 job) interview/test day to be confirmed soon.

I had planned to do some work today, having worked a ridiculous amount over the weekend… i’m off to the beach. ciao.

PS bike club later – 645 bomo pier

Apologies to anyone who got spam from djdubyah at hotmail dot com… I don’t get how thought… its not an account I use, its closed – needless to say DO NOT VISIT THE SITE, either by typing in the URL or clicking any links.

Odder still, I’m aware of 2 other people whos hotmail accounts have sent out messages… perhaps someone has hacked hotmail? that would be funny… a bit.

Weird Linkage… I’m still getting lots of traffic for this old post on bullying (by old I mean 2 1/2 years!), although all the hits come from google, I can’t be the only person to of written such an article?

I just tried a few different phrases and it came top, above the BBC! wtf(eck)?

orig article

using the google link: prefix.. it shows, no-one linking to it! The mystery continues…

you just have to get back on again!

In no particular order:

The Alcohol Wagon: I won’t be drinking much on nights out, had a few over the weekend.. not a problem, but if I’m going to do the swim again I need all the help I can get… which leads to…

The Exercise Wagon: As well as swimming and bike club, I’ve started exercising again (simplefit) – this one was more pushed than fell..

The TaskFreak Wagon: Every time I get a good plan going, life seems to chuck me a curve ball… as I started to give up on getting a job and work on an alternate plan… I had a load of interviews come up (another one tomo) – my time man. went a bit wonky, trying to fit everything in… getting it back on track now

The Healthy Food Wagon: I’m snacking quite badly, more fruit, less choc :slaps wrist:

Erm… some of that doesn’t make sense… bed now, stuff to do tomo!

I don’t know why I didn’t consolidate my online DJ presence sooner… rather than links to myspace and facebook pages and dontstayin and mixes and clubs and and and…

Now I’ll just point people to Luke Dubyah dot com – at the moment its just that, a set of links to other places, soon it’ll be a bit more with mixes and stuff directly on the site.

Tom Middleton was amazing, gave him a copy of mine n Chris’s new tune, he came over while I was playing to say thanks and he’d drop me an email… if he does email, even to say he didn’t like it, that’d be amazing!

LEGEND, if you get the chance go see him.
