living life one day at a time!

So then, if you bought The Sun on friday and happened to turn to page 22 those of you that know me may have recognised my mug starring out at you. Yes my head (and Richards) was used to promote Wrigley’s extra mints!!. I can now lay claim to sharing column inches with Russle Brand, Kate Moss, Chris Martin, Gweneth Paltrow and Kasabien!!

Add this to the fact that my legs and arms appear on the Intel website The Digital Lounge and i’m becoming quite the advertsing whore!

In an attempt to take away any angst anyone has who knows me about getting me a birthday present heres an easy solution. Much like my 21st I’m after a new computer for my 30th so relatives, friends & family here officially starts the “Luke New Mac Fund” please don’t buy me anything for my 30th but do leave a contribution to my new Mac all donations can be paid online below, click on the button then just below the username and password is a link “Don’t have a PayPal account?

Surfing around this evening and found this site, My Heritage ideal for the very vein, you upload a photo and it goes off and finds celeb lookylikeees. You need to pick an full frontal head shot or you’ll get some interesting results, (my first attempt had me looking like Angelina Jolie!!!) anyway my results are below.

So then October 11th 2006 is rolling around and I will be 30 years of age! God that sounds so old written down. I remember thinking that people in their 30′s were sooooooo old. To be honest I dont feel physically or mentally different from when I was 23, well maybe mentally a little, lifes experiences have somewhat added a layer of cynisism, but the fact that i’ve always been hopelessly optimistic person probably means its un noticable but I spose the biggest thing I feel is not being where I imagined, we all have childhood dreams of success, fame and fortune. As I write this 31 year old Jamie Oliver is meeting Tony Blair securing 400 million in government funds for better food in schools, maybe its an unfair comparison but he is one of these people who at least publically seems to have hit the groove.

And this is what seems to occupy me the most, I have been OK at alot of things but never seem to have found my groove. It seems that alot of my efforts and energy of my 20′s have been wasted without really much to show for it, i’ve written music, learnt to be a graphic designer, ploughed hours into bands, and other peoples companies and yet I’m still on a meagre wage, and as yet none of the musical endeavours have gone on to become anything, many strong friendships have kinda melted away and new kind of semi distant one has replaced them.

Its not that I’m down on stuff I’m doing OK, but I didn’t expect my life to end up at 30 so fricken normal, its not enough!. It comes down to the fact that all of my 20′s where I thought I was taking risky desicions, I really was making very safe ones, and the life I lead now is the product of those very safe decisions, here I am staring in to my 30′s thinking, its time to start taking some real risks!! Time to man up grow a spine and go and make it happen… whatever the funk it is…
