there is nothing conceptually better than rock and roll...

I awaken at 630am. Clean myself up and get into the skin of a manager and head to the office. I get to the office early for the morning brief at 830am. But it was cancelled last minute, leaving me deprived of 30min of sleep.

REVENGE.

And so the course starts, headed by a bearded Irish dude called Mike Tuke, a cool dude with an ADDICTIVE attitude. 2 hours into the course and suddenly everyone was asking question in cockney slang or mock-irish.

I almost snorted coffee out my nose when i heard Cedric say "I'll reckon that..."

RECKON???

The curse of european influence didnt stop there.

I happened to stumble across a list compiled by Q magazine - listing the top 100 greatest songs of all time. At 11th place was my all-time fav, Dont Look Back In Anger by Oasis. But bless mi dearest soul (see, irish IS addictive), the NUMBER ONE song was a song i had never heard of before.

Turning to the worldest truest library of info, youtube, i searched for it. "LIVE FOREVER" by OASIS.

And i found it.

I played it.

It was awesome. I cant believe how good it was.

The day was dead shitty. Course ended with a mess of cat6 cables all over the place and alarms from all the test kits going off, and Mike Tuke congratulating us on a great second day to the course.

9 more days of this crap to go.

Then it was a rush of email answering followed by rushing off for my night course, interrupted by Mr Khoo calling me up and laying down a few "need to get done by tomorrow" tasks, followed by more emails bringing up delayed tasks faster than the a dead-rising necromancer in burnt out australia (oops).

Anyway, when the course ended, and i was hitching a ride back to my place with my engineers, a word flashed in my head.

REVENGE.

I detoured, got back to the office, opened my emails, looked at everything.

Then i called Mr Khoo, and lambasted him with HEAPS of questions that had to be answered before i could give him anything tomorrow. Unable to answer anything, he had to put it off to tomorrow, where he promised a good discussion.

I knew tonight i would have no emails on my blackberry. Live Forever baby.

song of the day is "Live Forever" by Oasis.

Maybe I dont really want to know
How your garden grows
I just want to fly...

Lately did you ever feel the pain
In the morning rain
As it soaks it to the bone...

Maybe I just want to fly
I want to live I dont want to die
Maybe I just want to breath
Maybe I just dont believe
Maybe youre the same as me
We see things theyll never see
You and I are gonna live forever...

Maybe I dont really want to know
How your garden grows
I just want to fly...

Lately did you ever feel the pain
In the morning rain
As it soaks it to the bone...

Maybe I will never be
All the things that I want to be
But now is not the time to cry
Nows the time to find out why
I think youre the same as me
We see things theyll never see
You and I are gonna live forever...

Were gonna live forever
Gonna live forever
Live forever
Forever
