"If everything could ever feel this real forever..."

So here, as promised, is me and Dave. There is so much about this picture that makes me happy. Apart from the fact that I'm stood next to Dave Grohl, and the fact that he used to be in Nirvana, but he actually has his arm around me in a real 'giving me a hug' way. He gave me a big old squeeze if I remember rightly. He does look a little peeved though which is slightly upsetting but I refuse to dwell on that bit. My cheesy grin more than makes up for it. Fuck knows who the joker is behind me...
I can't believe I have photographic imagery of the split second I met Dave Grohl.
This picture has made me realise why I like my job so much. I've been going through a weird time of it at late and really not had the same enthusiasm as I used to have. For those who don't know - I'm a press officer for an independent music PR company. I look after the national press for bands such as Million Dead, Reuben, Hundred Reasons and The Answer. (Jimmy Chamberlin, Placebo and Gomez in the past) I worked fucking hard to get it too and it never occurred to me that one day I might grow tired of it. It used to be the only thing I had really in my life. I don't mean that as tragically as it sounds but when I was single my job/career was the most important thing in my life. That's changed now. Evan is the most important thing in my life and that priority shift floored me for a while. Coupled with a few hassles over the past few months - my job has slipped down the list of things I really like.
However, regardless of that I have been lucky enough to go to Glastonbury, Download, Guilfest and countless gigs for free. I get to go to aftershow parties and exclusive gigs. I've been to the NME Awards, Mercury Music Awards, Q Awards and of course the Kerrang Awards. Surprisingly its actually difficult to not get blase about all of it, to not feel jaded and unfussed. But when faced with a photo like that, knowing that that's me, and that's me with Dave Grohl, and I got myself into a position where I can have the opportunity to meet Dave Grohl. Well, I feel very chuffed with my little self this morning.
I am currently doing my very best to get press for Tommy Lee's solo project.
Hahahahahaahahahahahahaahahahahaha today is a good day.

Dave Who? If you get Tommy Lee's press then I may actually die of admiration.
