Stevie's Diner
I've changed the name of my blog today, and it now apparently means that nobody can get to it. I'm not sure why.
My link is: http://steviesdiner.blogspot.com/
It's still the same journal, just with a different name, so I don't understand it. *Scratches head*

'And now, the end is near;........
.......And so I face the final curtain.'
This is actually quite sad to write. I didn't think it would be because we're all going to keep in touch via our new blogs/journals, but it feels so weird to be typing my final entry here on aol..:-(
I've been writing my journal for 3 years now (although I've had two blogs here as I lost my first one) and it's been one heck of a ride! The friends I've made, and everything we've been through on here..it's amazing!!
I haven't forgotten about the J'land song. I just listened to what I have so far, but with so many lines missing, I'm afraid there's no point in me posting it just yet. I'll end up having to fill in the blanks myself, but HUGE thanks to all those who did send me your vocal clips. They sound great! Jan, Donna and Morgan....I'm comin after you to steal your voices!! lol!!
Well, I did make a new blog over at 'Blogger', but I've just managed to actually move this one over there now, thanks to Donna, so I'm gonna be deleting the blog I made the first time around. God this is confusing....lol!!
My 'new home' is..........
....and might I say it looks mighty purty actually!
I hope to see you all there. Please give me links to all of your new blogs, even if I didn't read your journals much before. I'm seeing this as a fresh start and I want to keep in touch with everyone MUCH more. I miss you all..:-(
Well, this is me finishing my entry here for the last time. *Wipes nostalgic tears*
It's been such a blast..thanks for reading for the last 3 years.....YOU ALL HAVE THE PATIENCE OF SAINTS! lol!
Much love!
what are you waiting for?? Get over to Blogger!!!

Abandon ship!!
Dear AOL Journals user,
We're sorry to inform you that on Oct. 31, 2008, AOL® Journals will be shut down permanently. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
It is very important that you save your Journals content before the shutdown. We're working on a way to easily move your Journal to another blogging service -- you can expect an email within the next week with more details about how to do it. We want the transition to go as smoothly as possible for you, so you'll have two choices. You can either save your information manually and find another place to blog on your own, or let us handle the migration for you and automatically transfer your Journal to a different blogging service.
In the meantime, please bookmark the People Connection Blog, where you can find out more about AOL Journals. You can also subscribe to the People Connection Blog RSS feed to stay informed about any changes. We'll be updating the People Connection Blog often, so please check it regularly.
Sincerely,
The AOL Journals Team
Does anyone know how to move journals to blogger yet? I've set up a new blog on blogger, but I'd really like to be able to just move this one there.
Thanks..and this is sooo sad. :-(

In a World............
I was very saddened today to learn of the death of Don Lafontaine, who's voice is famous worldwide. He provided the narration for over 5,000 movie trailers and just as many tv commercials. He's one of those guys that you don't really think about. You just KNOW he's gonna be there whenever you go to the cinema or put on a DVD.
In 'the voice', 'Now......one man must fight for justice!'
I've heard soo many people mimic that 'movie guy voice', and I've even done it myself. I guess that kinda makes him more famous than a lot of movie stars.
R.I.P Don...you'll be truely missed!!

BIG BIG BIG BIG NEWS!
Well, this is gonna be one hell of an entry! lol!
I haven't updated in a while. Truth is, I didn't know where to start!
I'll wrap it in a nutshell. I ended my relationship as I felt we've just grown so far apart. We literally aren't the same people to each other anymore, but we're still friends so it's ok.
Secondly, I went to Manchester last week to stay with some friends. We went out and I made friends with an old famous singer called 'Lonnie Gordon'. Her record producer is also a friend of mine, but I'd never really thought about letting him hear one of my songs. Well, one of my friends randomly played him one of my songs, and I can't believe his reaction. He loved it. As soon as it ended, he asked me 'Stevie, how do you fancy a trip to London to record for real?'. I almost fell off my chair with excitement!
I think I have to be in London this weekend to stay with him and Lonnie, but I'm still waiting for confirmation. He's recently brought Lonnie out of retirement and she's been touring the UK. Ironic thing is, I was in Blackpool on holiday a few weeks ago, and Lonnie and Deano were in the club next door to the one I was in, and I never even knew it!
Also (and this excites me even more), the guy who produced '9 to 5' for Dolly Parton is writing me a song that suits my voice! HOW INSANE IS THAT?! I know, it sounds ridiculous, but it's true..lol!
I'll be honest, I had no idea who Lonnie Gordon was when I met her, so I checked her out online, and I actually like some of her stuff. This video is probably my fave!
The audio's a bit quiet on this, but it's the best one I could get. Wish me luck guys.... Hope all's well out there. Missed you all lately..:-(

Goodbye to an old 'friend'
Well, the bastards over at 'Eon' have won and the cooling towers (a MAJOR Sheffield and Yorkshire landmark) are to be demolished at 3am tomorrow morning.
I can't even write this entry as I guarantee it wont be very pleasant to read.

Feeling Enlightened
Walking on the Milky Way, I say what a day!!
Hey guys.....
This is somewhat of an emotional, self discovery, self healing kinda bullshit entry, so if you're not into that, please turn away now..lol!
Today started badly and become one of my more difficult days. I've not experienced it quite like this for 2 years, but I woke up and within minutes suffered a panic attack, and it hasn't really left me all day. It's still there now. I had to have the day off work too, which pissed me off cos I enjoy Mondays! Again, there's no huge reason for it, but I haven't been sleeping properly and I've had a few stresses. I just wish my body would handle stress and fatigue differently to this!
Anyways, onto the good stuff.
In 1995, I remember being a 12 year old boy sitting in his room taping the chart show from the radio. I'd always try to time it so that I didn't get bits of the DJ's voice overs on the recordings...(early pirating scheme me thinks). Anyways, on one particular tape, I remember two songs that really struck a chord in me.
One was 'In too deep' by Belinda Carlisle, which was in the charts that week, and the other was a song that I've never been able to find since. I remember the song really making me feel good. It was very uplifting to me, and I remember how I felt listening to it. All I could remember was a portion of the video and the fact that he mentioned outer space in the lyrics. That's it, so for all these years, I've not had enough information to track the song down. I've searched high and low, online, in chart records, back of compilation CD's, word of mouth. Nobody seemed to know what I was talking about. I was actually starting to think I'd dreamt the song up.............until today!!
With my free time (and to keep myself occupied today), I decided to post my memory of the song into certain forums online to see if I could jog anyone's memory. Person after person sent me link after link to songs from that time with a 'space theme', but none were right.
I'd just about given up when someone mentioned a title that seemed VERY familiar.........
'Walking on the milky way'.
THAT WAS IT!!!
I downloaded it straight away and almost cried when I heard it back. Good memories that I'd forgotten came flooding back. It made me feel the exact same way that it made me feel when I was a kid. It was fantastic!! It's not even about the song anymore. It's the relief of knowing that I wasn't wrong and that I've actually found it!
If you're interested, here's the song.
Just wanted to share the story...cos for some reason, it's important to me today. :-)
Hope you're all well!
