Lonely
I'm lonely but it's my own fault. I'm afraid to post here because the Secret Service had been watching this space since the 2004 election, due to some less than flattering, but non-violent, things I said about our President. Depression's my best friend. My cat got sick, but then got better, which is good, since he is basically my life. I'm also terrified to write because some people wrote some horrible stuff about my writing...that I was self-absorbed and boring. Well, if you can't be self-absorbed and boring in a journal, where the fuck can you be self-absorbed and boring?
The good news is that just for 'shits and giggles', I looked on Yahoo and found a person from Pakistan who also was an attorney. We both were rather discreet regarding politics, but still, I found it rather amazing that we could converse. The Secret Service may still be monitoring my internet journeys, and the Pakistani's country is in a 'state of emergency', but the internet is going STRONG.
It was difficult for me to find music to connect to. I finally encountered something that I could get into: A blind married couple from Mali - Amadou and Mariam. Here's there website: http://www.amadou-mariam.com/ If you love Afro-pop, with lots of reggae and 1960s soul influence, check it out. They are showing live concert footage on linktv of Amadou and Mariam, and they are going into a nice, psychedelic ravey jam. It's almost like Sister Ray with good vibes!
