Wow..a new blog..with a new home!

Well, evening all!

What can I say? A new blog, with a new home and a fresh face! I figured it was about time I made this abit more, well, cleaner? More accessible? I don't know really! I just always read technology blogs on blogspot and ended up here on google's answer (or maybe buy out?) to it!

I had to mention technology early, just so you remember it is me, Dave Jones, of whom's blog your reading! So!

Last.FM is playing me Damien Rice at the moment and it's a brilliant song! I'm loving Last.fm at the moment, I'm not being paid to advertise them by the way! My love of it has mostly been born from an idea a couple of friends had, that a group of us should go old school and send each other mix cd's! The idea was to create a track list of songs we've all listened to and loved recently, or by our standards the last year!

However, I'm soo behind with the music times, I find it so hard to keep up now, rarely listen to music channels, never download music (illegally!), I've just found myself lagging behind. So, I hit last, and well, I hope this isn't cheating too much, but my track listing that I'll be sending out soon is now hugely comprised of alot of music I found on there! I've found loads of new artists I love and I'm now listening to on a daily basis on my short commute to work!

I don't know what everyones opinion or feel of music is, but for me, it's always been a huge part of my life, I've really enjoyed this opportunity to think about my musical taste again and not only share old songs I love, but have now discovered new songs and artists that I'm already going to share that I've only just discovered myself and already love! Never give up on such simple gestures as mix cd's or the hand written word, I haven't sent my cd yet, but already the ones i've received feel so personal and have reminded about how inpersonal the internet really can be sometimes!

So anyway, you must be wondering what madness is going on with me these days? Well, over 6 months in now at the place of work I call Zenith! I couldn't feel more at home to be honest! Since September last year time has flown by! It's crazy!

Almost as crazy as my luck I guess! Since my last bulletin, I'm thinking perhaps my luck has improved some what. I'm sure you're all aware of my crazy shoulder situation, well this year, only last month in fact, I finally had my consultation regards potential surgery and so it is to be! I'm going to have a CT scan on my shoulder to establish the extent of the surgery required and finally, I shall be operated on!

Have to be honest, I'm terrified! I'm under no illusions that it will be a case of a quick anesthetic and suddenly everythings fine. It's not going to be the case! These things take time, and for a person like me who is hugely impatient, it's been a trying time! I've learnt alot about myself though over this 2 year period since I first did my injury. Mostly, give me solid hope, and I'll put soo much effort in. But as soon as the hope becomes a distant maybe, I immediately assume the glass is half empty and tend to think 'Whats the point?' BUT...and I use bad grammer and capitals for a reason, the single most important lesson I've learnt is, NEVER EVER take any ONE nor any THING for granted!

I was hoping this blog would catch afew more laughs than I expect it will, but at the moment I guess I'm feeling more grown up! Don't get me wrong, for those that know me, I'll always have story's to tell, I'm generally cursed and this hasn't changed! However I guess maybe right now, as much as I've joked recently about being an old man, maybe I am actually getting on abit? ;)

I hope you enjoy the read and I look forward to my next eventfull report!
