Noooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

June 4, 2004:
One of the most successful songwriting partnerships and groups in the history of the music business disbands after nearly a decade together.

New York --- After nearly a decade together, Creed has decided to disband. During their 8 years and 3 albums together (My Own Prison, Human Clay, Weathered) Creed achieved countless Rock & Roll milestones and sold over 30 million albums worldwide. With their unprecedented success at radio and their captivating live shows, Creed became one of the most successful acts to rule the charts over the past ten years.

Creed songwriter/ guitarist Mark Tremonti has decided to join forces with Creed drummer Scott Phillips, original Creed bassist Brian Marshall and former Mayfield Four singer/ songwriter Myles Kennedy. The new band, named Alter Bridge, will release their debut album on Wind-up Records on August 10th of this year. Expect a promotional acoustic tour of radio stations later this Summer, followed by a worldwide tour to begin in late August or early September.

Creed songwriter / singer Scott Stapp has been busy in the studio writing and recording over the past several months. His first post-Creed recording will be featured on an album coming on August 31st via Wind-up Records that will pool together superstar talent, as they individually offer compositions inspired by the film The Passion of the Christ. Simultaneously to tracking his contributions to the Passion title, Stapp will continue to work with producer 7 Aurelius, and has joined forces with Canadian rockers The Tea Party to work on his solo debut.

On the dissolution of Creed, Tremonti commented, "It's kind of sad to end a chapter of your life, but it's also exciting to be starting a new one. We'll always be proud of the music we made with Creed, but Alter Bridge gives me the opportunity to start over with a different perspective and a more evolved direction. This band begins and ends with the love of the music." Phillips continues, "Creed was definitely a once-in-a-lifetime experience, but I'm really excited to be starting over as well. The most significant things that we are taking from the Creed experience are the lessons that we learned. We truly believe that the decisions we've made for our future are the right ones. After writing and rehearsing the new material, we are confident that we've made the right choices."

Stapp shared, "Creed was one of the most amazing journeys through music and friendship I am blessed to say I was a part of. I made memories I can never replace! I just want to thank the fans who supported us and became a part of the Creed experience. We could not have accomplished anything without you!(fans)."

Also in 2004, Wind-up Records will be releasing a Creed Greatest Hits compilation. Details will be made available as plans for the album take shape.

something for all the ER fans out there:

Abby Lockart: Do you think it's possible to die from boredom?
Dr. Chen: I don't think so.
Abby Lockart: What if your mind wandered off in a daydream and you forgot to eat or drink for days?
Dr. Chen: Then you'd die of starvation and dehydration.
Abby Lockart: Caused by boredom.

Dr. Kerry Weaver: You hit another doctor?
Dr. Michael Gallant: Yeah, Doctor Pratt.
Dr. Kerry Weaver: Oh, well. In that case, I'll overlook it.

panadol the new aid :-)

had a massive headache today at work... usually i always get a headache around 1-2pm.. but this time it was huge.. couldnt' concentrate.. and my head was severely throbbing.. had to get a panadol at work... kinda worked...

might take a packet in with me now.. might need em to get through the next 3 weeks.. lol

the decision..

well.. spoke with my team leader on sunday and he gave me some good advice.. basically he said i had to make a choice whether to adapt and cope with the work environment or change the environment.. i don't think its worth changing who i am as a person to fit the work environment..

so i spoke with him again yesterday and notified him that i want to end my employment.. however i decided i'll stay until the end of june (june 30th to be exact).. this will give me time to look for another job (hopefully if i'm not too buggered after work), allow me to build up some extra cash, and maybe allow my work to look for someone to replace me...

all thats left now is i need to write a letter of resignation and hand it in by the end of the week :-)

everything is set now.. 1 last thing to do then its all good :-)

thanks to everyone who listened to me with this issue and gave me their support and advice :-)

actually maybe not...

been thinking about it heaps.. looking in the papers for jobs.. if i seriously aggressively apply for jobs.. i'm bound to get one.. God will provide for me.. God is a caring and loving God!!

everything is telling me to leave very soon.. the only thing keeping me there is the money.. and that aint a good reason to be staying in the job.. as i can support myself if i am unemployed while i look for a job..

i'll discuss this with a few more people tonight.. and way up my options.. and most importantly pray about this...

i'll post again tomoz or something on the results of tomoz..

staying.....

well.. after much thought.. i think i'm going to stick it out as long as i can at work.. until i really can't take it anymore and i go insane or something..

in the mean time.. i'll keep looking for work elsewhere..ahh.. uni life was so much easier..

allow me to introduce myself

in..a..galaxy..far far away =x...lived a short, fluffety-chubnubble by the name of jane i-chen hu. jane stuck her head out into the big bad world on a monday night back in 1985. back in the day jane was a cute baby (what happened?) and was a part of a beautiful, loving family. all was peaceful until...well actually it was never peaceful but this helps build good suspense ya?

at the tender age of 3 her parents uprooted the family from their home in taiwan and migrated off to a galaxy far far away - australia. jane soon grew up and it was time that she would go to school. these were the innocent year's, everything was trouble free and sweet. the year of 1995 saw jane move to year 5 and a private school. the years in high school were all part of growing up, being obsessed with boys and all their habits, trying to 'fit in' and discovering what it meant to be a woman and realising that school was now very important for her future. 2003 was an amazing year; the hsc came and went and many tears were shed for everything and everyone moved forward. 2004 was filled with new beginnings and new adventures as well as new struggles. jane hopes that the new year of 2004 will bring a change particulary in her studies and her renewed life with God.

to all the hardcore fans of dan out there, you must be wondering why this strange organism has invaded and is spilling her own cliffnote’s biography over someone else’s blog... a brief explanation in three little words (and an apostrophe) would be, well, we’re going out. so I apologise to all the heartbroken girls for pinching the most eligible bachelor from your grasps. i’d like you to get to know me a little bit better, and i hope you’ll see that i don’t bite ...much xD

i've had it.. :-/

the job is seriously getting to me now.. as most of the people who have been reading this blog have seen.. my attitude to the job has been deteriorating over the past month and a half..

everytime i've been getting home i've been grumpy and its affecting my home life and the way i think about stuff.. i fear it may start to affect the rest of my life also.. and in the end pulling me away from God..

last week it was getting to me really bad..and this week it really hit me hard..
during lunch 2 days ago i was seriously considering leaving at the end of this coming sunday.. which is the end of my 3 month probabtion period.. meaning i can leave without penalty and i don't have to give 2 weeks notice..

the only thing keeping me in the job is the money, the experience and the fact that i have a full-time job.. but if my attitude continues to plummet into the abyss, i don't think i can hold this grumpy attitdue i've been feeling when i get home back from affecting the work as well.. if it starts to affect the work.. i won't be able to do my job properly as i'll be constantly wanting to just go home and not talk to the customers on the phone...

i was talking to a few of the people who started the same time as me yesterday and they are having the same thoughts on, the job just being completely, 'crap'..
some of my other work colleagues who have worked there a while, say the same thing.. but the only thing keeping them to the job is the money..

money isn't a prob with me.. i'd glady earn less to be happier at a job..
the experience is a good thing.. but at the expense of losing who u are to get it.. i don't think its worth it..

i'm basically at a point where i know this job isn't going anywhere.. i know i want to leave.. i know i should leave.. but the fact is when should i leave.. when i have another job secured?? when i have earned enough money to get by unemployed?? or just leave at the end of sunday??

what do i do??
