Indeed it is.

You all know me & my love for Sailor Jerry Rum...ever since my man Acyde intorduced it to me a few summers ago...

Well some of you may also know that since that time I have got to love it even more, & there are a few who are happy to see me with my Hip Flask out on an evening hoping to get the warm sweet feeling in their belly after taking a hit.

Things are about to change...Sailor Jerry is about to go back to what is their Original Flavour...yes Original...what you are used to was made for this market alone, & now we are stepping up to the Orignal 80 Proof Flavour. Yes I did write 80 Proof. I luckily got given a Bottle to try.

At first I was a little hesitant as I do like the sweetness of the Previous, but I have to tell you after a couple of swigs of the New 'Original'...I quite like it. The Sweetness is still there but a lot more Subtle, & for me it works.

Also I really like this Bottle Compated to the Otherone...being a visual person, this is all the more Original...the Fonts are all Original & it has less to say on it which works in my book...simple & clean...it looks Old School.

SO I say go buy yourself a Bottle...try it out & let me know what you think.

Yes I am plugging SJ...I fucking love it...but be responsible people, I am & I ain't no Lush : )

Be Well.

Yes...STRESSED > THE <> FUCK < OUT right now.

Everything is all a little tense in a most fields of daily practice.

BuT I take a little solace in the words of the Buddha, 'Nothing is Permanent'

Thank the Fuck for That.

Be Well.

Did a shoot yesterday for ANGLOMANIA via Sarah Young.

It was rather fun, but a few cross wires on the deliverables, but I hope that we get there with the final product...certainly have no time to reshoot...next week is hectic & on Sunday 28th...it is Seychelles baby !!!

Anyway...I digress, Likle P, Tarik F & Sas where on the shoot...those boys are always fun, especially my man Likle P. Yesterday was one of those delightful moments where Likle P starts to chat to one of the other models...putting on his charmer vibes, when the model says words to to the effect, 'I am not talking to you, after the way you were so rude to me last time I saw you !' There was a little huh, what going on there & then they worked out where that was, & LP gives it 'Oh shit, that was you !' But he did keep on trying to make good, turn on the Charm for her to forgive. I am hoping it worked out. I left before seeing or witnessing the conclusion...but I think it is a lost game...the damage was done.

But mad funny haging with these fellas...always Jokes !!!

Be Well.

I like to write, & seem to be doing a lot of it these days. Mostly thoughts & observations...some that will make it to the web & some that are just way to private.

These Moleskins are not a diary as such, but they do document a frame of mind that sometimes is a little lost & twisted. But then there are many an occassion where the written word is full of joy & childlike stupidity.

It is good to write, there is a school of thought that says, once you write something & define it, it loses its power. Perhaps that is why I write some of the things I do in these pages, to break it's power over me. I feel it works for me to verbalise a situation. You can see it clearly & asses it.

If anything I am keeping Moleskin in Business.

Be Well.

OK so there are a few people I know who will love this application, & if I am late on this shit then my apologies.

I was looking on 'That Hipster Porn' today....as you do & I thought there must be an application that will convert images into a Polaroid format. Well there is...

POLADROID

SO follow the simple instructions & see what happens. It is pretty good. It is a pretty good free application...it does ask you to give a donation, & I guess you should...but...

Anyway have a happy time converting all your snaps to look like our beloved Polaroids !!!

Be Well.

As the Trend for & of HERITAGE makes it's presence felt more & more, it is nice to see something comeing out of it that has a nice flavour to that takes it away from others of the same genre. & That genre is the Quilted Jacket. Unlike Barbour etc LAVENHAM has a little more thought behind it.

What you may not know that back in 1969 LAVENHAM were the 1st Company to make Quilted Blanket Rugs for Horses, & that was shortly follwed by their Quilted Jackets & Waistcoats. Today see's that heritage work very well with Contemporary Shapes & Colours that do make them stand out from the competition. I for one am a big fan...when I saw the Blue & Yellow DENHAM RIB Jacket in Supra a few weeks back I needed one of those...in fact I am still waiting for that call...hurry up fellas...my cash flow is getting used up.

& For all of those of you that like a man bag...check out their Quilted Tote Bags...they are rather good.

Anyway, check the stuff out here

Be Well.

Today we have 25th Hour playing in the back ground.

Forgot how good this film is, & Ed Norton is excellent in this. Infact the whole Cast is pretty High Calibre.

This scene is great...we have all been there.

Be Well.

Hello All...here are the Snaps from last Wednesday

Be Well.

So this Sunday no1 son Che was 15.

15!!!

Kid is amazing & I don't mind saying I am one proud father. Even though he fucking wrecked the house on Friday night with his Birthday Party. Place was a tip...but being the good Dad that I am I did ask all the leftover kids on Saturday morning to, 'Get the Fuck Out !!!' & helped Che clean the place up as much as possible before his mother returned (eventually) & kicked his skinny ass.

Man it was a mess...but hey that is teenagers & their house parties. You let them have it, that is what is going to happen. Glad my flat was not that bad after his shindig at mine : )

Anyway 15 years young & a god young man to boot...so all is good.

Keep on Keepin' on Che.

Be well.

Saw this in HMV on Sunday & it made me laugh.

Ok so what is the difference...all 3 feel the same ha hah.

Be Well.
