There's a lot been going on.

I haven't written in my journal in even longer than I haven't written this.

A lot of things have happened since my last update, all of which felt so important at the time, but now it's all subsided, and I'm left with the most recent events burning their effects across my mind.

In brief, I've moved back to Birmingham, worked a little a couple of record labels, got a girlfriend, broken up with girlfriend, changed my plans for the future several times, stressed myself, travel from Birmingham to London more times than I can remember, made some great new friends, probably lost some others (looking at the way my FB friend count goes up and down all the time), but I've been having fun and enjoying my life while doing all that. I may look miserable, and sound melancholic, but truthfully I'm very happy. Maybe it's arrogance, but I like the person I am on the whole.

One year to go of Uni, then I have a big decision to make. I can stay in Birmingham and work my ass off to make enough money to go abroad and train to become a snowboard teacher, or at least do a season or two out there boarding as much as possible. OR I can move back to London and start interning again working my way slowly into the music industry, which is where I'd like to end up.

But of course a lot of this depends on the band, which band I don't know yet, but if A City Within are still going I'd like to think we'd be in a place to start getting a bit more serious. So if that's doing well then, build up a massive debt paying for everything that a band needs and have a great few years playing shows and making records. That's the dream anyway.

In the meanwhile, I found a great promoters in Birmingham, so I can finally go and see good bands and not be on my own!
