Friday
Had to play LPW, the song was Black Dog by Led Zeppelin. Luckily my band had practised night before so I was ready for once. Just annoying that I didn't get to play this time around. Oh well, it don't matter.
Came out and had a lesson with Windsor. Fantastic drummer, his got long ginger hair in a pony tail and a very very strong Scottish accent (cos he's from Scotland). He's my teacher for Session styles, and his the one where he tells you to rub the kid next to you's shoulders. So I had a great lesson, I said I wanted to learn basis of funk. He said play something funk for me. I did and he goes
'So who do you look up to in the funk world of music?'
I listen to a fair amount of funk but I was put on the spot and couldn't think. And about a week previous me and Steve got into a drummer called Dennis Chambers who plays great funk music so I just replied...
'Erm... Dennis Chambers init'
'Oh, great, so you know blue matter then?'
'..Yep'
Came out of lesson and had Burger King. Got on the train went home. Really nice to see Upminster again. Went home and saw family, so weird as me and me brother moved out at same time so the house is empty. Very strange, me Mum and Dad have turned so weird. All my Dad does now, is eat monkey buts and pinch me Mums arse as she walks past. As long as it keeps him off the streets. That night I went round Mikes and had a Will Ferrell night. Was wicked.
Saturday
Got up and went to see me brother with me mum. We got completely the wrong trains. I knew I was right but oh well. He lives with his girlfriend in proper nitty gritty East London. He took us around his local area to all these really weird exhibitions. Was really amazing some of the stuff. Too long to explain. Ask me sometime.
Came home and Nan, Grandad, Aunt and Uncle were there. All came over for me. Was great. Really nice to see them all as I won't see them till Christmas.
Went out to pub with Matt, Mike, Chris, Harry, Jamie, Jack and Capon. Was really good to see everyone.

Sunday
Got up after having a nice lay in. My bed at home is so comfy. Me and me dad watched You've been framed, then Harry Hill's TV Burp and then David Gilmour Live in Gdansk. Then had a nice home cooked dinner, which was lovely whilst watching Grand Prix. Typical Sunday programme.
Then went to pub with Iain. So lovely to see him, only had a few pints with him. But was just me and him so had a really nice chat. He's getting on fine. I really miss him loads. Made me realise how special college was for a social life. Everyone I met there was amazing and I love them all.

Today
Got up at 7.30 which was mental. Had to catch a train at 8.30 to get back to Guildford as I had a lesson at 11. Met Matt at the station and the trains were all running smoothly. Got there at just before 10.30 which was handy.
Had such a hectic day. Had my lesson at 11 till 1. I then went to find our local music store to buy some ear plugs. I got lost so I gave up. Went into Waterstones and bought a Pink Floyd autobiography book. Sat in the Costa Coffee there and read. Really nice and peaceful, Was great. Might have to do that more often when i'm bored. Was there for hour and half and then had my drum lesson which was also wicked. Met a guitarist who i've been emailing about starting up a funk band. He seemed really up for it and we're starting to jam next week. Shall be wicked. Came home and had a little nap. Natasha came over with Steve. I then rushed to make dinner as I had rehearsal at Hayden Place at 8. So I left a little late, walked fast in the rain to get there. The band didn't turn up. Really frustrated me. Got soaked and they didn't even boffer to contact me.
Now, just sitting here listening to Pink Floyd. Masters
