When I said in an earlier post about my phone being lost, it was not exactly lost. I was on my home from a fantastic gig at the Wilmington by a band called Withered Hand, really great gig, people singing along, great laughs with everyone. Anyways I was on my way home, not far from my flat when I was set upon by a group of 'youth' they punched and kicked me <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">unconscious</span> and took my phone and wallet and the cash I had with me. On the plus side my oyster card was 70p in <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">deficit</span> and I did not have much cash as it was the end of the night. Note to muggers if it is cash you are after me coming out of the pub is a bloody stupid place to look. After a weekend of lying low and feeling a bit sorry for myself I went to the hospital hoping to find out that I was in perfect condition other than 2 black eyes a cut forehead cuts on the top of my head and some pretty big bumps on the top of my head... oh and that massive <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">ping pong</span> ball that was sticking out of the side. Fantastically the hospital told me that I had a depressed cheekbone... the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">indiest</span> injury in the world. This meant that a couple of weeks after the initial incident I was going to have to go to hospital and have my cheekbone made happy again.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgP3QNbV2IlALMu967KmO2jvWnnHsFfFXzL9ZzXxwIMiVY5wMtwR-kSL03TGVo11ns2fYQGPvL91wWuWFdDglZC5wQ5f2qSMTCjr3p_w37m-Ws16E-Fmb1HRISO2Mmy7vlC_NPg_NVgNCHd/s1600-h/DSC03107.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgP3QNbV2IlALMu967KmO2jvWnnHsFfFXzL9ZzXxwIMiVY5wMtwR-kSL03TGVo11ns2fYQGPvL91wWuWFdDglZC5wQ5f2qSMTCjr3p_w37m-Ws16E-Fmb1HRISO2Mmy7vlC_NPg_NVgNCHd/s320/DSC03107.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5444759715880776194" border="0" /></a><br />The best bit about this was that my face was just starting to look normal again, but the operation (cut insidethe mouth tool under your cheek and then pop!) would make me look like I had been beaten up again. Anyway the operation was a success and my stay in hospital was <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">ok</span>, nurses, doctors and everyone were all really nice.

Adam was an inspiration in me doing this smile thing, he was someone who all the testaments, from friends, family, in fact everyone he ever met tell you that he was someone who made you smile. Anyway rather heavy on the horrible irony at the same time as I was going to the hospital to find out the extent of my injuries the trial started in Preston. The outcome was that the young man who killed Adam was found guilty and my brothers good name was preserved and any accusations that the young man made that he was acting in some kind of self defence were threw out by the court. The fact that he was found guilty and my brothers name was left untarnished offered some relief and comfort but honestly not a lot. His loss left an enormous hole in all our lives and the results of one senseless act of violence will be felt for the rest of time.<br /><br />Now all the above is not by way of an excuse, it's just I lost my 100 day <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8">mojo</span>, my crap camera replacement took bad pictures (in truth as did my first). I was not out and about and for the best part of a month I felt like the elephant man. So I did not make it to the finish line... That is not to say I forgot about the project, below is a little round up of the past 40 or so days.

Jen and Calum Gordon, The Anstruther Mafioso's most beautiful. Jen plays songs under the name HMG Ginifore and can reduce a room of hairy rough looking chaps to tears. Calum can take photographs of that same rough looking group of men and make them look respectable with his fantastic photos.

Today we went to see Blackburn beat Fulham 2-0 which should be reason enough for a smile given our recent form. My friend Jane works for ESPN and managed to get me a couple of tickets for today's game, because my friend Jane works for ESPN the tickets were hospitality tickets. This meant turning up at 1pm for a 3 course meal and lot's and lot's of free drinks in a box with some lovely folk from the Lancashire Post. I will never be able to enjoy football any other way. The only 'funny' thing about today was because it's Blackburn they had a 'smart casual' dress code, because I live in London and don't go anywhere fancy I have not come across that in fifteen years... since I last tried to go clubing in Blackburn... actually I once was not let in an O'Neils in Watford with trainers on, I made a massive fuss with the bouncers, the manager and allsorts so I try not think about that too much... I mean Watford! Watford is a shit hole. I shaved my beard off... this is linked to the dress code and linked to the poor upkeep of my beard... anyway I am updating this on the train back to London full of free booze and happy thoughts, I'll stop now.

I met my friend and fellow 100 dayer, Paul (or Hardsparrow as he is known to the teaming masses... ) at the pub for the 100 day social, he had to leave at 8.30 to meet his lovely sister for a curry, so my plan was if 'the social' was not any good then I was going to pretend I was invited to Paul's curry night (i was invited but had accidentally eaten 2 dinners in the pub). As it turned out Paul had to tear himself away and I got the last southbound northern line (via bank) and found myself stumbling drunk wondering where the time had gone. The 100 days lark seems only to attract beautiful people with beautiful friends. I met a man from Ratwenstawl and a man from Penmaenmawr, both were impressed by the extent of my local knowledge. I write this still a little drunk on a train. If anyone lost any ear muffs (i said muffs) please get in touch.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuk_8PQoqJA2YgwPu2de18Px5O8B9qbioFaFzpHJM26eBXtZ3Wiua_n-6R8uk8v5uK8lH0O7QvWM2LFo99g2o-xq0ilv0BKdB9R2FiR4bSBsYH4R9G7xqVlDK2bVUCgL_MHnFqksmBLMqW/s1600-h/DSC01082.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuk_8PQoqJA2YgwPu2de18Px5O8B9qbioFaFzpHJM26eBXtZ3Wiua_n-6R8uk8v5uK8lH0O7QvWM2LFo99g2o-xq0ilv0BKdB9R2FiR4bSBsYH4R9G7xqVlDK2bVUCgL_MHnFqksmBLMqW/s320/DSC01082.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5427355499461630498" border="0" /></a>Dominic McKennahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17135228256061183262noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6410412131145018013.post-60862675153011151382010-01-16T03:40:00.000-08:002010-01-16T06:51:45.994-08:00Day 45 Picture 45<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj76lknes7mzrmrA_syHdS2Fb88R78IJqudyekZIH7K8TrOvKEUFELNGW_aVTBE1VqBdYs_E0MaDWaPiZtqOv6bNpS-9qurHm0pjisINtfwwfagXK7FjtSr_dIiSAHeDRXyEfo1NL2CmPh_/s1600-h/DSC01058.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj76lknes7mzrmrA_syHdS2Fb88R78IJqudyekZIH7K8TrOvKEUFELNGW_aVTBE1VqBdYs_E0MaDWaPiZtqOv6bNpS-9qurHm0pjisINtfwwfagXK7FjtSr_dIiSAHeDRXyEfo1NL2CmPh_/s320/DSC01058.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5427350445899221410" border="0" /></a><br />The Kids by Matt Sewell, I got this painting done a couple of years ago by the amazingly talented <a href="http://mattsewell.co.uk/">Matt Sewell</a> he is not only super talented but looks a bit like a young Bruce Springsteen, the chicks dig it...
