check this out..

can anyone actually want what Orwell wrote about in 1984, what Huxley was talking about in Brave New World? It seems that people are so easily manipulated now by the media, religion, money and politics that they are willing to give up their freedom in order to provide security. Security?? This sounds like being in prison.

I'm going to move to India and live in a cave where they will never find me.

...on the sun and the moon

Me and some of my musical friends.. I think we look better in cartoon, and I think we sound alright on cd too.

Finished recording the first ep the other day and hopefully it will be in stores, or at least buyable from someone in the band or close to them, very soon.

...on what the bleep do we know??

I am starting to realise that I don't know anything.

It is a great feeling, the unknown, the possibilities, the unfinished story that lies ahead

I was never much of a planner, always been disorganised and careless but for the first time in my life I am content in being disorganised and careless. I can't make plans because when I do I usually end up wanting to do something completely different when the time comes round.. I hate the system that we have got ourselves into, looking into the future and having it all planned out. For me it just gives me too much to look forward to and takes away from my enjoyment of the present.

I have also been reading and watching a few things that challenge my old way of thinking. About my brain and about my imagination and about reality.

Everybody has their own perceptions of reality and that means everybody has their own reality. That means that when someone walks into a room they bring their own reality with them, their old loves, hates, heartbreaks, passions, bitterness.. whatever anyone carries with them is always with them ---- unless they learn to let go. We gotta learn to let go, be open to new experiences that aren't tainted by the old ones we have had. Not let our new reality be affected by what we have thought the old reality was.

Inside our little minds there is a whole lot of stuff that we don't know anything about. Our minds are a very powerful tool and if we can control them then we can learn to improve our reality. Make the most of our experiences, make the most of our time.

Getting stuck in a routine, going to the same places every day and every night, meeting the same people, having the same conversations over and over isn't good for our minds. It's good to keep fresh.

It's also good not to be addicted to anything. It could be cigarrettes, alcohol, heroine - you know all the 'bad stuff' people are addicted to. ORRR it could be just things like feeling sorry for yourself, comfort eating, shopping, sex.. whatever it is, lose it.

Addiction is about releasing chemicals into the brain to make yourself feel good. For sure drugs put outside chemicals into our bodies and can cause addictions, but there are enough chemicals floating around inside to make us addicted too. When we eat, it makes us happy. When we satisfy our sexual cravings, it makes us happy. When we shop, it makes us happy.. but just for a short time, then we need MORE MORE MORE.. I'm trying to lose my addictions.

I just watched 'what the bleep do we know?' this morning, nice thoughts, a little bit cheesey but worth a look. I am also reading 'the book of lost things' at the moment. The quote on the back of the book of lost things is "everything you can imagine is real". And i believe it... your imagination is your reality. It's good to try to imagine what you want your reality to be, maybe it will become it if you do it enough.

...on sailing away and life

I've been busy wasting my time and enjoying it.. check out this video that I unashamedly spent about 3 hours making last night - it makes me laugh anyway

I also took a drug test on the internet and it turns out my drug is life.. that's cool - I mean sometimes drugs are nice but I don't want to depend on them

I have kind of been interested in this recently, like addictions and drug use etc.. so it was nice to hear that the internet tells me that I am not addicted - of course that is the internet and it was on that facebook thing which I definitely don't trust

take the drug test here if you want, http://www.facebook.com/applications/What_drug_are_you%3F/7510858293


here is what it said about me:-


You are "Life"!
Drugs? Who needs drugs when you've got the biggest high of all - life. You get your kicks from saving orphans from burning buildings so that they can feed the hungry who help old ladies across the street. You love your family and your friends, and your friends' families and your family's friends. The people in the world who do use drugs are ashamed of themselves in your presence, and wish they had your moral fortitude. You big jerk.

well that's maybe what I want to be, I still have my dependencies and my attachments but I try to get as big a high out of life as I can,, I don't wanna die just yet, that means I enjoy life right? at the moment anyway, until I forget how good it can be to feel alive

...on snow

snow snow everywhere

playing like we just don't care

late at night we built a snow thing

in the morning there was no thing.....left (because some kids knocked it down)

the next day we went for a walk

and saw the fields and had a talk

i like the snow but i hate work

but i stayed off 'cos i hate work

i like to play i like to play

when im at work i like to play

so i went to work late and had a good time

'cos it doesn't matter where you are or if your poem rhymes or if the last line is too long

...on children

i love children.. it's ok to say that (i hope)

if I said I love 12 year olds that would be worse, but I'm not being specific so it's alright

Children need to be heard, let's not keep them quiet

they are beautiful and the most purest of pure

they are not evil, don't tell them that.. don't turn them into something they are not

don't turn them into adults

it'd be great if we never had to grow up - do we have to??

I want children to be heard more, I want to do some phusic with kids

if the police are reading this then it's ok because when I say I love kids I mean it

Kid's you're our only hope

there is much more good in the world than bad, you just have to look hard enough//

let's make a sanctuary

...on words

i don't need words

words hurt

i'm sorry

it's like as soon as i've got an opinion it has to come out

maybe I should glue my lips together

I will try to understand your life and learn from you too
