alwaysbeenasmilerOh what a week, what a week.
I barely had any time to think and I volunteered (imagine that) for overtime. Wednesday however I had just gotten off of work and I was in the breakroom, tooling around on facebook when suddenly a headline catches my eye.
Jason Orange Leaves Take That
And I'm thinking, 'what sort of sensationalism is this?'. I am after all a BIG fan of the band, I have loved them since '94' when I was a teenager. Was gutted when they broke up and then elated when they got back together. However upon further perusal, I found that indeed it was the truth and yes, Jason did leave the band.
You know there are like several stages of grief, the first being of course denial. Except I am not the type to deny anything, I accepted it as truth in my head, I launched straight into 'sadness'; sadness that an era had ended. Yes, Take That are now a trio but there are so many beautiful memories for me of them as a foursome. It's just beyond words.
I can understand that Jason Orange is an intensely private man and I wish him all the well, I just am going to remember all the great times of him being on stage, the quirky interviews and everything else. He just made the band and with good reason he was my favorite member but-- I wish him well. As I told facebook, the jury is still out on if I am going to go to one of their concerts. I had been excited about the prospect but, I just don't know. I guess it all depends on how good their next album is.
On a happier note.
My PS Vita should be here when I get home from work tonight. I also pre-ordered Tales of Hearts R for it. At the very least there is that.
