Dan Lucking:

home of some of the most unusual and irrelevant material found on the internet, including a brief stint at trying to translate the bible for computer geeks (and then realising I wasn't quite enough of a geek)

The Various Online Incarnations of Dan L
I dunno, I've been thinking a bit about how long I've actually been online in some form, back from the very early days of Dan Lucking (just my usual name :p) through Deus Ex Machina, The 300Ft Potato, and the straightforward Dan L.

Right now.. I dunno quite where it all fits. I'm having a lot of thoughts about life as a whole, blogging, music, God, and what have you. I'll come through it in the end with a better idea of where I'm going, but tell then..

I don't handle multiple blogs well
Or, I do for a time and then one gets neglected. Friends.. I think this one's already dying.

New Song Thingy
OK, some day I'm going to get the hang of regular posting again.. but until then.. a song.... well, a song in progress. Needs a second verse.

A bright new morning on the way,
But it's just out of reach
I'm on the road to an unknown place
I have to leave what is behind me

That's the way it is,
Nothing to lose, everything to win,
Am I ready for this?

That's the way it is,
Nothing to lose, everything to win,
Am I ready for this?

I'm on the road, the road of freedom,
I'm on the road, the road of freedom,
I'm on the road, it's a narrow road,
It's a simple road, but the sights you'll see are out of this world

You've nothing to lose, cos you gave it up already,
You've all this to win, with your heart and soul secure,
You've nothing to lose, cos you gave it up already,
You've all this to win, with your heart and soul secure..

2 days to go!!!
OK, 2 more days til the Annual Sheffield Uni Gospel Choir Concert. I went on a little wander down (or up, then down, then up, then down, then up, then down.. Sheffield is a very hilly city) to Oasis Pizza in Broomhill, to pay about half of the cost for the 50 pizzas we're getting to feed the choir and other performers, etc. The guy I spoke to (coincedentally, also the guy I spoke to on the phone yesterday) was a really cool and laid back guy. Can't fault him. Apparently, he has 2 restaurants in the area, Oasis Pizza and Pisa Pizza, and both of them are going to be working hard on Thursday to make our 50 Pizzas in short enough time that they won't be too cold when they arrive.

Update on life stuff:

I won't be getting the job at church as a caretaker, cos I can't make the interview day tomorrow, however I do have a payrise at work as of today (pay day, woo hoo!!) so now I'm on £1,100 per month, up from £1,000 per month. after tax, that's £890 up from £805. Technically up from £820, but £15 of that was student loan repayment stuff. Good news is, though, that this month they've also put up the student loan repayment threshold. Before it was £10,000 per year, now it's £15,000. So given that 1,100 a month=13,200 a year, is less than 15,000, I no longer pay anything back on my student loan just yet.

So yeah. Been a pretty good day. Don't Americans have to pay their taxes on their own initiative or something? ie. you have a set date in the year when you, err.. pay your taxes?..

I much prefer PAYE (Pay as you Earn) which is the accepted standard in the UK, whereby your taxes are paid out monthly via deduction from your wages. I think if it were up to me to do it, I'd forget..
