“Try not. Do, or do not. There is no try.” (Yoda)

I am in the process of doing the layout for
our first book. There is so much to consider when you're working with a large group of people. Lots of personalities and opinions, luckily though, our group are basically brilliant. Supportive, thoughtful and helpful, and for that i thank them.

Today is not a good day, i'm in a bad mood... one of those inexplicable ones that I can't explain to anyone let alone the wife, so, she just pushes and pushes for more information that I don't have to give and we argue and then stop talking to each other. it's not ideal, why can't people learn to stop pressing your buttons?..
THIS book doesn't help... it's written by idealists that don't understand every different person. One good bit of advice that someone once gave me [A Shrink] was talk to each other like this... you talk to her for ten minutes, during your ten minutes she's not allowed to talk to you, she must just listen. And then she talks and you listen. it's a good way to get those things out that you just argue about mid-conversation.. you know, she says something you don't like and you start back at her mid-sentence... well, try it.. it works

What an amazing song... that link will lead you to Amazon where you SHOULD [waves jedi hand] buy this single... it's a bit melancholy, but amazing.

Hello Simon, don't mind me, just reading your blogs, it's only fair after all.

I am just noticing on the side there that On a Clear Night is on your list, cool! Missy Higgins is rad ay. I want to go see her and I could've in December, she was at Tamworth, but I had no one to go with and therefore no transportation. :(

I like this particular blog of yours.
