Syd Barrett. Founder and original front man of Pink Floyd, he basically gave the band their sound and direction before a mental breakdown. People just blame it on acid( he took quite a substantial amount of acid) but he had an underlying bout of schitzophrenia which just surfaced early because of the acid. He then retired from music sensibly as opposed to keep going and probably burn out and die. He only died a few years ago.

D'oh!

The only other time I had seen his face I had seen before was on the cover of Piper at The Gates of Dawn.

That's just awesome! I wish I could have my neighbour's dog - he's so small and cute with really curly fur. I would like a cat too but I'm allergic!

I'm having an awesome day. I've got the day off due to ANZAC day for New Zealand and Australian's. I'm going to play Fallout and eat chocolate and play some excellent tunes. I just wish my internet was up at it's normal speed so I can do work on my journal.

I'll give you some of mine, do you like white chocolate? I also have a tin full of scrambled lollies and sweet chilli and sour cream chips. That's what I call a good stash.

Nah not a fan of white chocolate. Plus it reminds me of a guy in grade 11, in high school, who presented me with an assortment of white chocolate candies when he asked me on a date, and then he stood me up

Oh that's fine, I'll pick up some normal chocolate for you.

Ok that's a real dick move, did he apologise or did he never call you again?
