So you Ages ago... infact it was my last blog before my 2 year Gap I said i was going to see Glassjaw in Dublin.. well as usual that didnt happen. The signer Darrel has very bad Crones disease and for the last 3 times they have Toured the Uk they have always had to pull out because he has been unwell.. although his side project (who are GUFF!) head automatica have toured countless times and he has been fine.
So heres hopping this time they will manage to actually play, Ive seen them b4, 8 or so years ago and thats who long i have been waiting to see them again. and I CANNY WAIT!
So whats the Mitch Buchanan bit about?
whlle i was leaving work and old man - who was called Tom - slipped and fell on the ice near the train station, anyway i ran across a busy road (like a tool) too see if he was ok i helped him up and at first he seemed ok then his nose started to bleed and he had alot of pain in leg, Anyway I phoned an ambulance and waited with him, he was such a nice old man, bit of a shame anyway the paramedics came, it turns out he had a broken shin bone and mabey a fractured rib or two :(.
Anyway i got home an hour later than i usually would, but im not mad about it at all, infact i feel strangely quite happy... must be Karma or something lol.
Tomorrow is another day.. BUSY BUSY BSUY! Amir Khan has a fight on Sat so we have been mobbed with Sky and Rebock calls all day. Its good to be busy though.

So first day in the new studio today, and i got lost, infact i dont think ive i even tried i could have got at lost as I did today, it looked something like this.
Please note: this is not my usual face, thank you
Not very good, I ended up getting the completely wrong train and ended up on the other side of Glasgow, an easy mistake to make, I took the train to Pollockshaws East instead of Pollockshields East.... A mistake believe it or not I have made before. I did it when i went to see Mogwai, And I can now honetsly say that my lesson has been learned.

I went here instead of work and I had to get my boss to come pick me up. lol was a funny start to the day but it was all taken with a smile.
The new studio is really!!! really! nice. we have our own room and the sales and events team also have there own room, its all good
It was business as usual, although we have to now go through all our stuff and change the address and phone number details etc.
I hot home ok, and managed to get my connecting train just as teh doors were closing, takes 1 hr 15 min to get home. Which sucks, im going to look into taking the car i think, theres loads of spaces although I still hate heavy stop start traffic. Plus it was freeeezing tonight

Im working on new biz . contact cards for myself, there not really for business, i just want to try and get my name out there and become a better known designer.
The design i have in my head is really nice but ill need to work out costing as it may be a tad expensive :S.
