sail to the moon
I was looking at the moon earlier, it is a deep feeling when you think about how many eyes have looked upon the moon at night, and at the time what thoughts would have been floating through their minds. It was interesting because yesterday I was discussing with my Dad, how he and his Dad grew up with the fear of conscription looming over them, whereas my fears are different but obviously not to detatched from the paranoia experienced during the Cold War. Yet for thousands of years, an eclipse of the moon would have people running for the hills.
The world is an incredible place if you look past the dark sides. For instance when I was in Essex near the Thames Estuary, the sun was setting and hundreds upon hundreds of birds were migrating. It was beautiful to behold even from a Fiat Punto.
What has really inspired me recently is the theory that the role of men in the world is in serious decline. When you consider that industries like mining and textiles, craftwork practically made Britain the biggest Empire in the World, yet none of these industries really exist anymore. Men don't do these things. It's not a way of life. I find it quite interesting, I have written a song with the line "I am not human, I am a machine and I will spread my seed". It's a bit Radiohead let me put it that way.
I have enjoyed doing it though and continue to do nothing else but playing my guitar for most of the day. Including keyboards and recording random sounds. I'm going to start properly putting them together. My aim is to finish these songs in the next 10 days, whereas I have songs with lyrics and stuff that I'm going to record. It's only sketchy stuff my confidence isn't amazing but nevertheless I have never been so creative.
I was in Leicester at the weekend. It was so much fun. My new flat is fantastic and I will love living there so much. It was such a good day, just to see everyone again and being back in a comfortable and enjoyable environment. I've had enough of home really, I don't know the people here anymore. Things are so different now what either way I look at it, things are better. I appreciate what I have and I have a lot. Well obviously there are some things missing in my life, but things are good right now.
Anyways I'm going back on the 14th to watch Larrikin Love, perhaps, but I might not end up going. Also want to look at some archives about medieval history, because the pub I am living in is over 300 years old. The site atleast. There is a medieval map with it noted on. Astonishing really. Hope there are drunken ghosts wandering around! Aslong as I'm drunk I won't care, might have a little dance with them lol. Then go get a kebab!
I have had my hair restyled. Might actually grow back the way I want it to. It better had it cost £39. Yikes.
