Full Tattoo

as a 30something-maniodepressive-capricious person, I am trying to maintain some peace of mind while tracing ordinary-sweet-everyday ornaments placed on bookshelves, next to shoeboxes, in front of bathroom tiles, between piles of assignments and lap tops, of which naturalness-normality hits my lonesome-bitter face like a cold north wind from which I am trying to protect myself under unfamiliar duvets… or maybe like a summer breeze which I anticipate to cool my cheeks and for that reason I should stay uncovered from irrelevant cloths and bodies…

or maybe some music therapy will do its magic again and clear up my mind like ten days ago where I attended a Full Tattoo live session. Full Tattoo is a band of five musicians who blew our minds with covers of popular english and greek songs. they took us in a journey mainly rock but with interesting stops in other music genres too. Gary Frad vocals, Alexis Kazakopoulos acoustic-electric guitar - vocals, Alex Chrysostomides electric guitar - vocals, Nikos Adamopoulos drums, Lefteris Papadakis bass. and please excuse me for stating preference but it would be hubris, that would lead to divine retribution and punishment, not to mention that Alex Chrysostomides was for me, that I hadn’t have the chance to listen to him before, a total revelation! a complete musician with amazing guitar playing skills and original expressiveness and enthusiasm on stage. him performing black from pearl jam, was absolutely breathtaking.

well and returning to what said before, black is the perfect closure for my day… or maybe not. I know! some hot chocolate will fix everything!... shit! I forgot to buy milk… black.
