I’m in financial trouble at the moment. I don’t like my job. I’m permanently tired, and I may be ill. I’m currently hung over. There are people out there who I have upset somehow and who actively wish me harm. My car is falling apart and sucking money I don’t have out of my life.
But I’m sitting here listening to rock music (Slash’s Snakepit, as it happens) and looking at a blue sky, and I am the happiest guy in the world right now.
Life is what you make it people, remember that. We are the privileged. You’re reading my words on a computer screen right now, not lying in a gutter in the arse end of the world dying of something you can’t spell. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not lording it, I’m just remembering to be thankful for my particular set of stars.
So quit your bitching. Life is fantastic. The world is a marvellous place for those of us who are lucky enough to be able to enjoy it.
Remember this next time you’re whingeing about how your feet hurt, or that you got cut up in traffic, or that the guy next door has his music slightly too loud.
Get up off your arse and do the thing you enjoy, and look to the sky and fucking smile once in a while.
As you were.

Amen brother, I am sitting at home 2 hours before my first gig with the new band. I have managed to wind myself up so tight over this fact that my back has gone into spasm and I am unable to bend or move or lift my amp to the car… yay!
