Talent here, talent there, talent everywhere (except on this blog of course)

So maybe I don’t have that much to say, maybe I am out of motivation, maybe I’m just lazy. Either way, it’s been too long between blogs and inspiration has been severely lacking lately.

Last night I tuned into 3MDR 97.1FM to catch the ‘Pilot the Dune’ show. Mates of mine, Cozza & Tristan, started it a couple weeks back and I thought the least I could do was tune in and see what it was all about. I have to say I’m impressed. The banter was funny, and it moved quicker than I thought it would. The true gem in this was the playlist, if it’s that calibre every week Ill definitely be a ‘long time listener, first time caller’. It was a great mix of old-school rock, stoner rock and soulful grooves. Check it out here: http://www.3mdr.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=12&Itemid=28

So this plug for the boys leads me into another highly talented friend, Mr K-Funk O’Callaghan. I say leads me into, and upon reviewing it, it does sound quite gay. Maybe rephrase that bit. Anyways, I read his blog daily and it always inspires me to think about ‘stuff’. Kieran is highly prolific in that he posts everyday, he always has some good shots, the words are worth some thought and you can pretty much learn something interesting with every read. Do yerself a favour and check him out: http://www.thelongacre.blogspot.com

Being surrounded by all these talented and motivated people is both a gift and a curse. On one hand, it’s a bit of a fire-starter, these people get me thinking, get me excited to do things, to create. On the other hand, I think “well, these dudes have got it covered, Ill just sit back and enjoy it”. It’s a struggle, Ill tell ya that much, but its one I quite enjoy and I’m certain I wouldn’t change it for the world. A quick shout out to Bedford, another immensely talented mofo, it’s been far too long between drinks mate.

In boring news, I have a new job, and its going quite well. Perched high in the sky, on the 31st floor, I now analyse product and technology development in the innovative energy area. After my failed attempts of being a porn star, these days I’ll just settle for a job with anal in the title. Boom-boom. This satisfies the inner geek in me. More coin doesn’t hurt either.

The OCD Mini project is coming to a head, and I can almost see a light at the end of the modding tunnel…I’ve been turned on by the stealth/blackout look after a bit of a false start with some chromey stuff…So I ordered some spankin black wheels and I’m sure they’re hurrying across the globe to be with me. At some point I do intend to write a fairly in depth entry as to what I’ve done, yes I’ll even have some pictures. Until then, use your imagination!

Well, Id like to say the updates will be more frequent, but let’s face it, I’m flaky at best. Until then, enjoy these little morsels I have left, and check out some real talent.
