It's the 5th of March... And my weekend consisted of the (ab)normal things that makes life bitter-intoxicatingly-sweet... Friday... Became unusually twisted as I was invited for Sheesha by some 'lovely' friends in the evening... And somehow I found myself in quite a dillema. I had two close buds with me and we had 'bonged' ourselves to arse-whooping oblivion before hitting the Galadari for some Mint/Melon and Grape flavored sheesha... As always we somehow landed @ Soprano's; a kewl karaoke joint in Colombo 7 that has some decent tunes by Nazareth, Def Leppard, Deep Purple, Guns 'n Roses, Slippery When Wet era Bonjovi etc., and we started to have a few rounds of Beer and Tequila... And couldn't really stand hearing anymore Bee Gees or 'Quando' and destroyed the place with 'Living on a Prayer' and 'Love Hurts'. The night took a further vicious turn and we ended up at a night club where the in-house band ripped but the music in general sucked like HELL... --------------------------------------------------------------------- Saturday... 'The ashes of my wake' So after waking up feeling like I'd been reverse hogtied and beaten with a Cricket Bat... Soon realized that it was Dhanushka's Birthday (Guitarist of Paranoid Earthling) and everyone was gonna crash and burn at the studio. So another party on Sat... So needless to say... There was one room hammering out 'Maiden, Lamb of God & Opeth' while one of the other rooms dished out Trance, Techno and Rave Music while dusk kept crawling... So it finally ended up being the Metalheads vs the Rave Fanatics... And guess what? Everyone ended up in the Metal Room... \m/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- Sunday Took care of some stuff, while the Guys were tightening some tunes off 'Silent Chaos Serpentine', 'Hollow Dreams' and a Nevermore cover for an Unplugged Gig on the 11th March. I rehearsed some tunes off 'A Matter of Life and Death' and then hit the practice space and as you can imagine after two previous days of subjective poisoning... I fucking gave it my leather lunged guts off... Had a blast... And somehow suffered immensely last night... Things took a dearth turn. I couldn't sleep... I could feel my chest concocting a storm... I could feel like my larnyx was screaming for serenity... And my throat was thick wrapped in latex... Me
