Just so I can say, this was suppose to be typed up on Friday, just before my Once per Month deadline, but I was knackered to fuck that day, to be completely honest. MWai and I had just arrived back from pretty much almost 8 days straight of being off the grid. He was over for his Afghanistan home leave; and its trippy to think Im actually saying that, I know somebody on Afghanistan home leave. Wierd. And he's not even in the military; just look at his hands, does it look like he'd be in he military?
Met up with Morris in London last weekend in LDN for two things: 1) Get out of Ireland for a little bit. 2) See LCD Soundsystem at the Brixton Academy, effectively ticking one box on my bucket list (See a concert at London's world famous Brixton Academy) Its been well document how the Iceland volcano with the weird unpronouncable name threatened many things over the last 2 weeks and wrecked havoc over Europe, but I didnt really care about any of the hundreds of millions of dollars lost in the airline industry, or the absolute crippling of general business in Europe alone (for example, no one could even courier anything at work.. no one was flying), the only thing I really cared about, selfishly i do admit, was this trip. Hell I needed a vacay.. what can you say. For anything else I deeply wanted to see this song live, my declared summer song for 2010.
Oh yeah, I also wanted a week of Morris' Afghanistan stories. Because they are amazing. I wont spoil them here, he owns copyright, so youll have to ask him yourself next time you see him. But lets just say he had the intimate undivided attention of everyone we met. Huong and I ceased to exist. And he didn't even get a chance to use his "Im a UN medievac pilot stationed in Kabul" line.
