The sun’s out big and bright today, and it’s actually really warm. This coupled with the fact that it’s nearly April means that as far as I’m concerned, it’s pretty much summer :D.
I rose really early this morning and got myself clean, showered and presentable for going back to work for the first time in 6 days. I’ve been sleeping really well lately, I think it’s working hard in training and stuff wearing me out and setting me off nicely. Driving to work this morning was just glorious, I was singing along (like a choir of angels obviously) to an old Blink 182 album I dug out, had the windows down and was feeling good. I’m pretty lucky to be able to say I was having a really good time going to work I guess.
It’s Tang Soo Do again tonight and I think I’m going to pop home at lunchtime and see if I have any deliveries left for me, I’m expecting a few things but mainly my new heavyweight dobok and belt. This new dobok is going to have to last me a long time, so I’m getting a decent one. I’ll have to wait until the end of the week to trim it I think. I’m learning Pyung Ahn Oh Dan now, and it’s by far the hardest form yet I’ve had to do. There are lots of odd little movements and turns, and the jump gets me every time. It’s great though, and now replaces Pyung Ahn Sa Dan and Ee Dan as the most tiring to perform. For the rest of the evening, I’m not sure what I’ll do, I dare say I’ll find something to keep me busy and my hands occupied though – I don’t like being bored.
Now if we can just keep that sun up there burning hot and bright for the next oooooh, 5 months or so, that’d be great. Does anyone have a magic wand?
I’ll leave you with a couple of songs today (I know, I spoil you). Firstly is the first song I think about when I think of summer, and I love screaming along to it on a sunny evening, driving nowhere in particular. I defy you to scream along to the chorus, I love the continual guitar riff in the final section too.
Lost Prophets – Last Summer
And this was the main track for the ride in this morning, I love the whole album.
Blink 182 – Going Away To College
Jesus you couldnt have picked two more conflicting tracks ! The blink track is one of my fave crank-it-up-and-make-them-hear-you songs ever. That lost prophets track on the other hand is a bag of ass, cant stand it
Awwww sweet Blink 182 song, makes me go “hmmmmmmm”. And get you with all that energy! Someone been waving a magic energy giving wand nearby??? 🙂
