Helloooooo?

The silence in here is deafening.

I feel like I am shouting into the forest. Nobody answers, yet I know you're out there.

Any subject requests?

What will it take?

I'll tapdance (or breakdance) if it sparks a little interchange of ideas.


Wake up people!

I'm An Addict

I am a Junkie.
But I don't ride the white horse.

I am a Tweaker.
But I don't crack the crystal.

I am a Stoner.
But I never inhale.

I am a Drunk.
But I don't overindulge.

I am a Caffeine Lover.
But I don't touch the stuff.

I am a Speed Demon.
But am always tired, never wired.

I am an Ecstasy Enthusiast.
But haven't ever touched it.

I am a Hopeless Romantic.
But all people see it that I am cold and aloof.

I am not what I seem.
I have control of these demons.
But sometimes the tigers show through my thin skin.
I fear that people fear me.

My obsessions take over me.
My focus is narrow.
My vision is shallow.
The visions are returning.
I can see the future.
I can't forget the past.
And things are just as they should be.

Soundtracking

I spend most of my time listening to music, I have blogged about it several times...
My favorite thing to do with any extra time I have is to play songs that match up to the activity I am pursuing: calm music can make a calm activity very meaningful, and a band such as The Sisters of Mercy can make a motorcycle ride more than it was before. I also like to listen to contrasting stuff: I'll go to the sand dunes, and while surrounded by mullet-headed hessians, listen to The Thompson Twins or Duran Duran (in my headphones of course, I don't have a death wish.) There's nothing quite like carving up a gnarly bowl while listening to Pearly Dew Drops' Drops.
But the best moments are gathered while alone, either hiking or cycling. The lyrics of the songs cut deeply, burrowing into my mind as I travel around. Lyrics combine with real life events, bringing clarity, messages and memories pouring out. Vivid images take shape, my mind races and I gain clarity and strong understanding of my place in the world.
