Some people hold grudges. Cant call em daoists. Doesnt matter what you do, you just cant please em. They learn to hate you. They yearn to hate you. So, forget em . And forget the future.
My first mobile blog. Upward? But ho! Walked out to BEDLAM venue in Woolston to catch up with the Andrew o'Connell phenomenon. Really pleasant evening and met some great chch locals. So bedlam is a Thursday night doo-dad that kicks off 5:45, an after work crowd enticer. BYO. A bonfire. Vehicles. Van's. What ho! Simon Nunn christianed the night with a sublime set of hymns!
