What a difference 12 months can make. Exactly one year ago right now, I was doing a live gig in the SoBar in Swansea with Chris Blumer, having a free New Year's Eve night for me and Louise and getting paid just under a ton for it. Tonight I'm in, just me and Alyssa. I'm happy like that - my and my little girl.
12 months ago I had no idea that my previous 5 months' actions had made me a marked man. I paid for my mistakes in August. That really really ruined my summer - I couldn't settle for 2 and a half months. My own fault, I brought it on myself.
I certainly won't be going there again.
I guess mortality is staring me in the face - although late in the year, 2005 will be remembered for dad having a stroke. Even though it was a small one, it'll change things forever.
Met some really interesting people this year including all the guys from New Sandfields, AfanFM, Leah, the Bay View guys and of course Clare. Clare Clare Clare!
The Bay View has turned out to be a liberating experience. I'm free to do what I do best there and get paid comfortably for it, can't argue with that.
The winter and spring had to be a bad time for me - living in Swan Street really got me down. The place was cold most of the time and my then-landlord....let's not go there.
Made contact with some old friends this year too - very theraputic.
So what does 2006 hold for me? Let's hope nothing like the council incident occurs - I don't want anything like that anymore. Let's hope I can stay following Big J.
