Sleep would be nice

Well... it's 2.45pm on Monday and like a complete twat I have managed to stay up all night for not all that much reason at all... got myself some new toys and drums to play and sat making drum loops but somehow I'm still up sat in bed watching Jerry Maguire (which incidentally I remember being funnier and less soppy... bollocks!!! lol). What have I been up to all weekend? Not too much, but I have been doing some preparation work for the latest uni assignment I've been set, which is to conceptualise, design the circuits for and build a distortion pedal. It will be a really good thing to both understand the concepts and build the thing. I have the greatest concept too, got an old broken SNES at home so going to take it apart and use the case... I've drawn the concepts out and it will be incredible (if not the geekiest thing ever hahaha). Shame my soldering skills are pretty wank lol... oh well at least they'll be hidden :)

What else is going on... hmmmm... I've got about 5 days to get my brother a birthday present... fuck knows what I'm going to do, why are relatives so hard to buy for? At least my mum isn't too hard at the moment, she's always got some new gadget I can get an accessory for at the moment but what do you get a 28 (eeeek nearly 30 Stuart hahahahahahaaaa) year old with his own apartment in a different country? I'm sure I'll find something but if anyone has any ideas then give me a shout!

One final note really... a guy I barely knew died last week from back home in Leighton... my thoughts are with his friends and family, I know it's hit a lot of people quite bad and it's been tough for them... it's fucked up how life can so quickly turn around and change in a flash. I've not had this situation happen to anyone close to me, yet every time these things happen arise I always seem to feel that bit more mortal. I guess it makes you thankful for everything you have right now, and in a weird way it's one of the only things that seems to unite people, when it's just too late :( Death is a part of life, something we will all have to face at some point, yet it never gets easier to deal with and so I just hope he is in a better place now. RIP Jack.

Might write some more after I've slept a bit, but until then take care of yourselves people :)
