Colour in my life.

So I've been making massive work hours lately, at the expense of my summer.
50+ hours aren't going to be that unusual, and they might even grow up to 60+ hours.
With that much time wasted, you'd say I don't have any time left for myself.
But somehow, I manage to relax every day.

The first thing I do when I get home, is get a cold beer from the fridge.
I'll light a cigarette and sit down outside, preferably listening to artists like Robbie Williams, Jamiroquai and Justin Timberlake.
Now don't get me wrong, I'm not going mainstream, this just suits my mood so much better.
Or could you picture someone mallow out to Lamb Of God's Redneck, or Pantera's By Demons Be Driven?

Right now, I'm sitting here listening to Summer of 69 and drinking an almost ice cold Monster.
(For those of you don't know, 69 isn't a year but the sexual position.)
With a cigarette in my mouth, I decided to text Erik and ask if we'll go swimming this afternoon.
It's too bad that he's working 'till six.

For those who've known me longer than a few weeks, you probably know I almost only walk around in black or the occasional white.
Yeah, change is coming. I won't stop wearing those colours all together but I need a bit more variation.
That's why I ordered all kinds of different coloured shirts from Districtlines.com, 4 Ray William Johnon shirts, and an aqua MeekaKitty shirt.

I'm actually not that excited about wearing colour, but I imagine lots of people would think it'd be an improvement from my usual gloomy appearance.
And I'd hate to have people think I'm gloomy.
(I mean, we all know I'm always extremely happy and content with myself, right?)

There's a block party here tonight, with a western theme.
I'm not really looking forward to it, I'd rather have a normal party instead of a themed one.
But since I'm in charge of music, I might as well show off what I can do and what I know of music.
My mom actually thought Cotton Eye Joe is real vintage country music.
I slapped her with a Johnny Cash album.

I'm also planning lots of other stuff for this summer, half of which probably won't come to fruition.
Appelpop 2010 is the first edition of this festival to have foreign superstars on the program. We've had Anouk, Di-Rect, Golden Earring, After Forever and Within Temptation over quite a couple of times but it's not the same.
So the first two international artists to ever play on that stage are Gabriella Cilmi and Alphabeat.
Neither of those two really interest me musically, but I'll go see Gabriella to drool some.

And the thing that'll cost me most of my money this summer: A weekend in Bristol.
I'll probably need about 700 - 1200 euros for that. It's what I'm really excited about, but dare I say it?
I dare say it: It would very possibly be the best weekend of my life.
No, wait. The best weekend of my life that doesn't involve sex or excessive use of alcohol.

So in short: This is going to be an interesting summer.
Now if you'll excuse me, I have a book to write and beer to drink.

See ya on the flip side.
