This is the day that I have been waiting for my whole life for a long time. Somewhere to put things I love and show people what interest me, and to host my everyday life.

So welcome all to DailyRock, at the moment it’s pretty bare and empty, and I have no friends, BUT the bible did say:

“Do not despise these small beginnings, for the Lord rejoices to see the work begin …”

So here we go, let the blogging commence!

Rocky out.

(Trying to find a nice exit line, over time this will amazingly cool and edgy)

Spaghetti + Good Company

Had a very lovely evening the other night with some of the cast of West Side Story, cooked our own meal (Spag Bol, and I didn’t do much except for stop a possible fire and stir the sauce) and the did some jamming outside.

The weather was pretty warm and I NEARLY finished my whole plate (which is a big deal) and even though there was people from 1st to 3rd year there is was extremely casual and chilling. More of these sorts of nights please and thankyou.

I eventually want to shoot a music video revolving around this sort of evening, one where it’s just chilling with some friends and cracking out the banter in full force, first I think I need to write a song about it though….

(Claudine clearly loved what I was playing at the time of the pictures above)

You will be mine Nikon d80.
You will be mine.

Been practicing all night, well ok, not all night but a long time, going through my songs and fine tuning them as I’ve got a meeting tomorrow in London with a very cool producer.

Who? what? where? How? I hear you ask, I don’t want to reveal anything yet, but it’s rather exciting.

I’ll be sure to let you all know details soon enough, but the ball is rolling a fair bit now so it’s just trying to keep up with it and see where it takes me I guess.

Rocky out.

Walking out of my meeting in London and bumped into Bashy, which was cool.
He was surprised I even wanted to speak to him, said he’s working on album 2 and is already planning big things for album 3. Which is slightly exciting, just remember you heard it here first yea!
(I sound like such a fan)

Heading to the studio today with Simon (epic bass & double bass player) and Ryan UR Drummer (be sure to check out his YouTube clips here) to lay down a few songs and have a mess around.

Should be fun, and will take some snaps whilst we’re up there of us working hard, because that how we roll.

Not sure what songs i’ll record, guess we’ll have to wait and see ay.

Rocky out.

Alfred Lord Tennyson said

‘Tis better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all.

But at this present moment in time I’m siding with the quote ignorance is bliss.

You can complain about not finding love all you want but in reflection I think the emotional weight of frustration of not finding love is way more bearable than the emotional weight of losing love.

Ignore my random jabbering.

Jose Mourinho

Yes he deserted my beloved Chelsea, then kicked us out of the Champions League. But regardless of this fact, he beat Barcelona 3-2 tonight which makes him and his team heroes. I’m still VERY bitter from when Barca cheated against us (us being Chelsea) the last year and knocked us out of the champions league.

So thankyou Jose, now go and defeat the German machines known as Bayern Munich.

Gordon Brown

Gordon Brown is also a massive hero today for me. A old northern women approaches him, asks him some questions and ignores the answers, then asks him what he’s going to do about “immigrants” and “the eastern Europeans”, so he smiles, then cusses her when he gets into the car, legend!

His exact words were ” She’s just a sort of bigoted woman that said she used to be Labour. I mean it’s just ridiculous”.

This actually makes me like him way more than previously, so well done Gordy.

One of the best decisions I have made recently is to say no more often.

For many people, there is an understandable desire to avoid immediate confrontation.  To avoid disappointing and hurting people’s feelings. Nobody wants to be the bad guy.

What ends up happening is you dance around the no and drag it out.  And, amusingly enough, end up disappointing them in the end anyway.  Except now you got their hopes up so the impact when they hit that low is ten fold.

Bad Business deals, potential failed romantic relationships, inconvenient favors; saying no to someone and something isn’t fun, but it will save you a lot of time. 

They might not like what they’re hearing at first, but letting them know that you’re being honest and would rather tell them now instead of dragging it out will win you respect.

They’ll get over it, trust me.  And if they for some reason can’t, you’ve just proven that they are the type of person you should say no to in the first place.

Say no.

Taken From The Essential Man Blog

Since being at uni, alot of things have in a way clicked and I’ve opened my eyes to certain things that I hadn’t realised before.

One is that love is never easy. To me it seems (having not really fallen in love, but only dipped my foot in it a couple of times) that love requires great sacrifice, and for the couple to adopt an unnatural amount of selflessness to one other, and those things are the hardest things in the world to do. We’re all VERY selfish, I wouldn’t say that due to our “human condition” but more to cultural upbringing, and love requires you to go against this mentality of “me, me, me” and divert to “me, you & us”.

I’m getting the reality of love, well not really as when I’m in it all logics will fly away and it’ll be a whole different ball game, and honestly I can’t wait for that to happen!

I could go on for hours but let’s not bore the world now Rocky.
