Hollywood Undead & going broke.... Ho-hum !!

Well "Greetings" World's !!

It's been a few days, since I last posted anything - once again... sorry about that !! I think it was Saturday, when I last put finger to keyboard, oh well !!

Today is a very cold - for early September - Thursday.... and, I'm home alone !!

B has gone up to Wells, to see her Dad - and also a quick visit, to see her Auntie G !! There was a chance, that I was going to go... but, to be honest - I felt like crap, when she left home... so, I stayed  in bed !! That was a couple of hours ago...... I still feel like crap - but, I'm trying to get myself going...... hence, I'm typing these words to you !!

The music of the moment, is..... 'Game Of Thrones - Season 4'..... well, the soundtrack Cd !! As yet, I've not seen any of season 4..... but, hopefully, it will be available, to buy on DVD, by Christmas - so.......... Santa, put a copy under the tree for me !!

I'm not going to list all of the tracks - but, some of them look
interesting !! Also - having read all of the books, so far published, I recognized quite a few of the names !! It's going to be good, to watch the DVD - whenever I get a copy ?!

Anyhoo - where have a I been, since Saturday........ nowhere really !!

Yesterday, we spent some time, over at the M & M's house, trying to do a bit of painting...... I didn't do very much, I'm sorry to say !!

My main task, was to go up the ladder & paint the high bits of the landing area...... the problem was, the first coat of paint dried, into the wall, really quickly - then the second coat, well - just didn't dry at all !! Sooooo - my plans to do all 3 coats, all in one afternoon, just didn't work !!

I couldn't see - because of the wet areas, which parts I had already done & which parts needed another coat !! Bit of a bummer really !! Anyhoo - I will go back, at some point - if need be & have another go.

It won't be for a while, at least - as, on Monday, I'm back into hospital !! I would put a "Yippee" in there - but, I'm too knackered to care about it all.....

I have to report, to the hospital, at 7.30am & - I hope - by lunchtime, I will be in the theater, or better still... back on the ward, in the recovery area !! Long time readers will know, this is surgery number 9 or 10 - depending when you start counting, so.... I'm getting really used to it all now !!

I'm told, I will be stuck, in hospital, for up to 5 days - but, if I can get out, after one night... I will do my best !! I'm pretty good at escaping hospital - so, hopefully, I will be home, in under a week !! Time will tell, I guess.....

The big bummer, really... is not knowing just how long & just how much stuff, to take with me. If I get out, the following day - I only need a few things - but, if I'm stuck in there, for any number of days... well, I need to take more items !! It's the not knowing, that is the bummer part of it - nevermind !!

Going back to music - I treated myself to some second hand albums, care of our local "old" record shop..... if I remember them all, they are:

Dire Straits - 'Dire Straits' + 'Brothers In Arms' + 'Communique'
Aerosmith - 'Oh Yeah - Ultimate Aerosmith'
Hollywood Undead - 'Desperate Measures'
Velvet Underground - 'The Velvet Underground'
Iggy Pop - 'Power & Freedom'
Cheap Trick - 'At Budokan'
Jon Anderson - 'Animation' + Song Of Seven'
Jan Akkerman - Tabernakel'
Lou Reed - 'Lou Reed'
Little Steven - 'Voice Of America'
Bo Hanson - 'Magician's Hat'
The Byrds - 'Collection'
Faces - 'A Nod's As Good As A Wink'
Edgar Broughton Band - 'Oora'

I know for a fact, that I already own a few of these - either on tape or Cd.... but....."why did I buy them ?" - well, because I wanted them, I guess.... no other reason than that !!

Talking of going bankrupt - which kind of leads on, from buying stuff....

On Tuesday, I had a 'phone call, from a lovely lady - who quizzed me, about why I had "officially" (love that word !!) gone broke..... at the end of our conversation, she assured me, that was everything taken care of & that is that !!

I will remain "Officially Bankrupt" for 12 months - after that, if I'm still alive (I guess) I am allowed to do what I want..... until then, if my circumstances change, I have to notify them.... otherwise, I'm free to get on with my life !!

The whole thing - the whole going broke thingy - has been far less of an experience, then I expected !! Mind you - never having been here "here" before.... I didn't know what to expect !!

But - everybody has been sooooo very nice, about it all !! I guess, they've worked out, that I didn't do this deliberately & so, they've treated me really nicely !! From going to court, right thru' to the 'phone call, this week - it's been quite an eye opener !! I expected it to be far worse.....

One thing, that I was concerned about......

I've been buying stuff, for the house, for sooooo many years now, I didn't want to lose anything. It turns out - unless you have some really expensive stuff - which, believe me, we don't - you get to keep it all...... I half expected to lose it, to go towards my debts !! But - it won't - so.... that was a great relief !!

Sure - I did buy myself a new bit of kit, to record my tapes, over to Cd...... but, it turns out, that was "Ok" - so, I didn't need to worry about any of that..... !!

I do not recommend, that any of you go the same way, that I've gone...... but, I also don't recommend any of you spend 14 months, having surgery after surgery.... it's amazing how things turn out !!

Ok - 'Game Of Thrones' is just about finished, so I will think about getting some dishes washed & a few other things, that I ought to do.... preferably, before B gets home !!

So, with Hollywood Undead blasting out of the Bose - I will thank you all, for logging in & reading my words..... "HI" to you, over in Germany.... it's good to know you are all out there.... until next time...

Bye Bye
