500 (plus a tiny announcement)

So this is kind of blog post 500. I say kind of because I have posted more that I deleted (ie, the Hala Pickford versus David Bret stuff).

I asked on Twitter what I should write about and it was suggested I cover issues with workmates. This would be a return to some of my earliest stuff. I thought about it but then I realised I hate my own job so much right now that actually writing about it would just piss me off even more.

Sorry about that.

I was also asked to write about my political views. But no one wants to be THAT bored...

I thought of doing another retrospective. Maybe explore the growing trend of psychopathic Bondi Rescue fans who like to harass and threaten innocent people and try to destroy reputations for their own personal gains. Or cover the popularity of my Beautiful Men/Inspirational Women series. But I am still annoyed about what happened recently concerning that. Maybe a nice post dedicated to the heroes I have lost over the last few years? Kind of sum it all up... What about a psychological evaluation of what sort of individual would actually waste their time stalking ME, purely because of the persona I present on the internet? Or maybe do an evaluation of the amount of crap I have bought and blogged about since I started this a few years ago?

Nah.

I decided to do something a little different.

Today is Mothering Sunday and I got the old dragon a paella pan. Not my fault I am not great on the difference between metric and imperial... I am getting my new kittens today - Koji and Miso. I will post some photos when I get chance. April 6th will also be one year since we had to let Boomer go. April is not a good time for me...

Speaking of which...

That little announcement I mentioned at the start...

This is a world exclusive so enjoy it!

I have decided, after long deliberation, to write a biography of Cozy Powell.

It is something I have been considering for many years. I have said before (many times) that Cozy is someone who should definitely be remembered. I am in a position to make that happen...

I don't know how long it will take me; my Phil Campbell biography was very slow to progress but that was entirely down to Phil. I obviously wont have that issue with Coze so it will just be a case of trying to squeeze it all around work and university.

Whether I will publish or just stick it on the blog will depend on the amount of feedback I get on the project. I, personally, would like to see it in print.

So, Cozy fans! Got a story or tribute you would like to share? Either post it here (use the comment button) or drop me an email at irezumi.x.muzan@gmail.com.

I promise to post regular updates on the project and we'll see where it ends up.

(Oh, and I will also start thinking about writing the story of my 10-odd years spent working in the music industry. I'll have to wait till a few people are dead before that epic sees the light of day, though...).
