Are they Mighty enough or should I call them Rob?

So I start a blog and then never write in it... ah well.

I may or may not have mentioned this but a certain person has been studying like a demon for quite sometime now. Next Tuesday is the day it all ends... *fingers crossed*

Due to said study being stepped up over the last month I stopped looking for work so that I could concentrate on alleviating her stress instead of my own. In the lulls however I have been attempting to re-learn how to draw.

I think I am finally there. The mightiest of sketches have been sent off for evaluation and should they be received favourably I shall begin the actual task of telling my story... well, one of them.

A couple of my other stories I intend to send off to an artistically gifted friend whom I hope will choose one and render it into a more visually enhanced state.



I love Rob.

Perhaps an explanation would help. In the past I have informed you what I happen to be listening to at any given time. My tastes in music are wide and varied... the proper word would be eclectic.* The main time spent listening to music is when I am occupied with house hold chores. There are many cd's on my shelf but the one getting the most use lately would be Robbie Williams Greatest hits. Yes... POP, I remain unashamed. There is bad pop I admit, most of it probably falls into the bad category. However there is also the Wonderful, magnificent Rob! Don’t believe me? Go listen... still don't want his babies? That's cool. We can agree to disagree.

But I won’t stop there; one Rob is not enough... Exhibit B: Rob Thomas. Frontman and author of most of their music, this Rob steers the goodship Matchbox 20! Three Freaking awesome albums... go listen. It irritates me that the Matchbox has been relegated to the label of Pop. Just because the commercial stations Spam their Singles doesn’t mean the rest of their albums don't deserve to be heard on those radio waves! Thar be good rock music in them thar hills! And more than a bit of soul!

Admittedly This Rob has now released a solo album the majority of which I have yet to hear. Not because I don’t want to rather that I haven’t gotten around to it yet. I am well aware it is quite Poppy but if Williams can then why not Thomas.

And then there is Robin Williams… he may not create glorious music but he still deserves a mention and your love.

Rob’s FTW!

So I just checked my email and have received favourable replies in regards to my Mighty Artistic Undertaking. Now all I need is a website…

Incidentally I’m not listening to any 1 cd today… rather my mp3 playlist is working its wild magic with everything including Rob, Rob, Roxette, Tool, Chef and many more.


*A point to note I learnt that word from watching Sister Act 2 - Thanks Whoopi!
