So here we are. My first ever personal blog. If you are reading this I will assume one of 3 things:
1. You are me in the future and reading this to remember what life was like when you were 23 - the most likely scenario given that is the point of this blog. This being the case - hey future me. How's things? Still got a memory like a sieve? Aye, thought so. It's a good thing you thought to start this blog all those days/weeks/months/years/decades/centuries (we've not yet ruled out rapid cell regeneration yet) ago.
2. You are a strange visitor who by some horrible turn of misfortune has arrived here and is wondering who the hell I am. This being the case - welcome. I'm Davey Stu (a derivative of David Stewart - we're clever about nicknames here), I come from Lanarkshire in Scotland and I'm a musician, among other things, and am still not quite sure who I am or what I'm made for (another reason for starting a blog!).
3. I've (finally!) gotten famous and my fans from around the world are googling my name in a desperate need to find out everything about me. In which case you are in the same boat as 1 and have actually come to the right place.
So right now, after 7 years of Primary School, 6 years of High School, A failed year at uni studying Biomedical Science, 2 years at Motherwell College studying a HND in Popular Music and 2 years down in London studying drums, songwriting and creating music, we now find ourselves at Edinburgh College (previously Stevenson College) finally doing our degree year. Finding it a little stressful, but still confident we'll get by. You're currently pondering as usual whether you're going into too much detail and taking up too much of your time. Probably. You're good at that.
Wait. I'm not sure how to refer to us. You are me in the future. I am me now, right? I keep wanting to say we though. This is getting confusing. If I say 'I' you know I mean you in the past. And 'you' is me in the future. 'We' will refer to something that applies to both of us. Got it? Nah, me neither.
Anyway I've also started teaching in the last few months. It's going fairly well and I'm alright at it I think. Hopefully you'll be a bit better though. I had a lesson tonight with a kid I'm teaching - him and his sister, although his sister was ill tonight. They're the ones I struggle with most. For some reason I never feel like I can justify what I'm teaching. But then I say to myself 'hey, you're the teacher! Do what you want!' I think I am moving a bit fast with some things though, and I'm not sticking with topics long enough. I'm jumping about too much. I hope to fix that though. We're gonna start focusing on single topics in each lesson and I'm gonna give proper exercises to nail things down. Boom.
I'm rambling again. Too much detail, I know. It doesn't help that I'm always in my own head, and the minute I start rambling I feel the need to mention that, then mention that I mentioned that I was rambling, then mention that I mentioned that I mentioned that I'm rambling etc etc. And I'm rambling again. What a vicious cycle. As Chris would say it's completely 'meta'. I'm still not sure if that's a technically correct term haha. Do you know future Dave?
Also do you still love palindromes? I love them right now. I keep looking for them haha. I've also been cataloging them in my mind. Here's the ones I've learned (and remembered) so far: race car (everyone knows that one), refer (I used that up there ^), solos, kayak, radar, rotor, Cilic (Marin, the tennis player haha), Salas (Marcelo, the former footballer) and I think that's it for now. If I think of any more I'll mention them. :)
Right I'm gonna stop talking now. Typing. Whatever. In my head I'm talking. I hope we'll keep this up. It gives me some sort of purpose in life, which I generally lack haha. Saying that, I'm eating into valuable pokemon time! I hope you're still playing. It does waste a lot of time but it is a lot of fun and it's kind of a part of us I think. Well me it is anyway.
Anyway, am aff. Catch ye son!
