Taken some compass bearings....

...and it's time to make a move. Which direction? Towards the horizon.

I've been having a makeover. I guess it's part of a wider examination of my life, relationships and "where I'm at". Old clothes have become dusters / guitar cleaning cloths / new charity shop stock / etc. I feel like the "post-M.E." chapter of my life is opening up a bit more every week. New relationships have / are being forged, new music, literature, opportunities and collaborations have entered my orbit. It's good fun, I'm enjoying it. I guess it's partly an exercise in "cutting into the present - releasing the future". I'm just not the sort of person to hang around in the same place for too long, I'm always too curious about what's around the corner / over the wall / behind the mask. So I'm not, I'm moving on to pastures new, both virtual and real.....not quite sure where yet, have a few ideas, but I'll know when I get there. Thus this little blogular corner of cyberia will not be updated beyond the end of the month (Nov. '05) simply because it's served it's purpose. To paraphrase an old hymn, "This blog is not my home, I'm just a passing through." So thank you everyone for allowing me to ramble on about everything from Nietzsche to Liverpool F.C. to obscure music to cellular automata to post-modern, post-religious religious return to post-religious (non-?)religion. Thank you also to all the wibloggers who I've met, many of whom have helped feed me crisps, nutty cake things, really good wine (literally), and too much other high-in-E-numbers party food. Hope someone managed to make some kind of sense of bits of it. I'll play you out with some REM. Take care y'all.

Stand in the place where you live
Now face North
Think about direction
Wonder why you haven't before
Now stand in the place where you work
Now face West
Think about the place where you live
Wonder why you haven't before.

If you are confused check with the sun
Carry a compass to help you along
Your feet are going to be on the ground
Your head is there to move you around.
So, stand in the place where you live
Now face North
Think about direction
Wonder why you haven't before
Now stand in the place where you work
Now face West
Think about the place where you live
Wonder why you haven't before
Your feet are going to be on the ground
Your head is there to move you around.

If wishes were trees the trees would be falling
Listen to reason
