Looking back at my week off there appears to be ‘re-occurring 80s theme’. I must have chosen, the best week to take off work, being a big fan of 80s music, and 80s related material in general. It started subtly on Sunday evening. I didn’t get a chance to re-visit my childhood, but I do regret not finding the time to watch the epic film. The film in question? Indiana Jones and The Raiders of The Lost Ark. What took me back to my childhood, was the theme. Unfortunately, I had deleted my Themed MP3s from my hard drive and archived them to CD-rom. Thinking that this would be a clever thing to do! (Why?) I then had to search around for this elusive CD-rom, unable to find the score, by the famous, man of many themes, John Williams. Eventually, I did find what I was looking for, and have done the right thing and copied the Themes back to my hard drive. However, the 80s theme was to continue for throughout the week. Magic, the easy listening music channel, had an Ultimate 80s week. I saw, my favourite music video, on Chart Show TV, when they counted down the album chart. I also, saw Knight Rider, and in this particular episode, they were able to slipped in the name of John DeLorean. Interesting indeed. The good news is that Indy will be back on the small screen tomorrow evening, in the second installment, the “Temple Of Doom”. I must remember to find the Sky Remote Control and hide it somewhere…

The man, who most deserved a goal in the FA Cup, got exactly what he deserved and provided us Gooners, with the only silverware of the season. A season which as always started with so much promise and hope ends, on a high, but somewhere, you feel, we deserved much more… Looking back at my life then, I see myself struggling to come to terms with events taking place before me. In a way, these events still cast a shadow over me now. I am unable to put into words, the reasons for this, having spent far too much time searching for answers. But I feel that looking forward to the future, I am destined to have these questions answered. Or perhaps rather, THE question answered. It was great to see Arsenal lifting the trophy, again, particularly after watching Robert Pries, being stretched off, against Newcastle last season, in the same competition. He will forever be, the midfield maestro and does nothing but expel true class when on the football pitch. Perhaps, one day, I’ll watch an FA Cup Final…from the comfort of the stadium…

Music wise, my Audio page has now been fully updated. I had been listening to R Kelly, at the beginning of the week, but recent additions to my play list, include, Shakespeare’s Words, by the vocal harmony group, One True Voice. Strange, how the score to this song, sounds very familiar to some 70s police/detective series, particularly when it ends. Another is a trance/techno record from Foundation (no not the Motown group, The Foundations) but a debut release called “All Out Of Love”. It has a great piano score through, and great vocals… and yet again, proving to reflect my mood…
