Have you ever fallen asleep on the tube and been woken by the tube driver at the end of line? I managed to do just that last night.

Coming home from a work night out, I caught the District Line from Wimbledon but on the way fell asleep and was nudged awake by the driver at High Street Kensington. In my ‘I’ve too many beers‘ state I decided I’d just get on the train on the other platform regardless. I didn’t look where it was heading or if it was even still running. It was 1am after all but I figured as the doors were open it was. Luckily it was headed west and towards Hammersmith. I’ve vague memories of walking home after that and eating Maltesers in bed before crashing out!

It could have been so much worse had the train gone east…

I have dirty socks. Maybe my shoes need to go in the machine? Meh.

Sitting at my desk shortly after getting to work today it started to snow. Through out the day the snow remained constantly light, turning heavy towards the mid afternoon. Heavy enough to start settling on the ground of this city I call home.

Here’s a pic I took out the window at work.

So as planned, today I shaved off my beard, shaping it as I went, to see what things would look like. Check out the new mo look, it wont last forever.

Soundgarden are another of my favourite bands of all time. Check them out here in 92 at the Pinkpop Festival in the Netherlands.

And again, Alice in Chains are one of the bestest bands ever. This is Would? recorded on Later… with Jules Holland back in 93.

As with most rock from the 90′s, Stone Temple Pilots are one of the best bands to have graced this earth. Checkout Plush recorded live on Storytellers.

God damn you’ve gotta love Pearl Jam! They’re without a doubt the greatest band to have ever existed on the face of this earth.

I’ve got my ticket for Hard Rock Calling to see them again next year in Hyde Park London and I’m very much looking forward to it.

So today is officially the last day of my glorious beard. It’ll be shaved off tomorrow on the first day of 2010. I’ll be shaving some shapes into it for fun as I trim it back, even leaving a mo and big big sideburns to see how they look.

A selection of birthday presents from the people at work. Beer from rum barrels can’t go wrong, nice!
