Motley Crue - Merry Go Round

  

Im really enjoying this old album , and hearing it on CD is actually a lot better than on the old cassette I had many moons ago . The album is raw as a debut album should be but there is a closeness to the way its been mixed which makes it quite easy to listen too . A kind of intimacy . I remember noticing an energy about it back in the day and felt it capture a moment somehow . I was right as on reading the dust cover I see band member Nikky Sixx now writes that the album captured the spirit of that first moment before fame with all its raw youthful exuberance and enthusiasm ( remember that ? ) I found myself quite taken aback by the similarity of his views today on the album compared to mine  back in the day . I guess they pulled it off with style then . Yes Im really into my old metal at the moment . In becoming my Dad listening to Status Quo or todays equivilent !  Noooooooo !
 

A full circle

I was going to write a post about how complicated all modern gadgets were . Windows 8 , TV remotes ( remember when you only had 4 channels ? ) or my new digital camera that has umpteen settings but when I'm feeling tired the automatic setting seems to work perfectly fine ! Yes , everything that you used to do without any mental input  is now is hard work , especially when buying a new replacement . I don't mind figuring things out but I'll be damned if I want to do that battle  while trying to carry out everyday " pleasurable " activity's  Its got ridiculous in my life time . Whats the future hold ? Seriously , I'm not laughing here ! 
   Whoops I have written a post I said I wouldn't , never mind because there is a flip side . While messing around trying to import some pictures a few weeks ago I found my new laptop has a built in camera . At the time I wasn't impressed as It started spewing out photo's of me randomly . The irony of loosing the old pictures i'd taken at the same time resulted in some choice words and some very choice photo's to nicely match ! Anyway after a little more controlled action I decided on a new profile picture . Well I had time on my hands...
  Bored one night this last weekend ( no TV /Internet ) I also accidentally discovered some editing gadgets and spent a while messing around with them . I really enjoyed that and was very impressed with all the options . Like I said all this was discovered by accident , but there again most useful things are . This is a growing characteristic in my life . Imagine the changes in mind set that requires ! Trying to achieve something is futile . Only accidentally will you succeed . Such is the modern way I believe .

My new profile pic is on hold today as I mess around . On reducing it down to " profile size " it looses all the effects . Strange .
