A Massive Mental Bowel Movement
It has been nearly a whole good and proper month since last updating this space. Measured between bulk days at work of course. I haven't written here simply because I haven't been moved to.... it has been next to the last thing on my mind... I tend to write scatter brained ideas down on tiny strips of paper and file them away, rather than connect cohesive thoughts, bind days and nights, and draw long spans of time condensed into text here. But I'm doing it now....
After July's 2 bulk days, I was exhausted, I worked overtime both days, could have worked a 13 hour day but camping plans prohibited this. So, by 5PM on the last Friday in July, KT and I were on our way up to Sussex County, I believe there was a full moon. The first night and day were good, nice private site and all, but all the waterfalls and parks we went to were corwded with the fucking fat weekend hikers who bring everything coated in various colours of plastic and tiny whiny kids who are on so many meds, and all have ADD, and can't even begin to comprehend why they are breathing. But the day was good, Ian traveled on up in his battered shit mobile, blundering and sputtering all the way, battling severe chasms of depressions and just the general questioning of "Why?". He enjoyed himself so, and has continued to do so till this very day.
Sometime after this, Donki slowly came back into the semi-fold and had returned with some revamped time management skills if I don't say. And a ruling job. We soon went down to Seaside, got some warm mushy dougnuts, for Donki's first Seaside adventure, he won a shitload of things, including a fantastic doll, stickers, and an absolutly ridiculous heartshaped lamp... slavic women were everywhere, always extremely polite too, and can take the perverse humour with more than a smile.
MO! have been slowly gaining more momentum, lots of ideas, and noplace to really vent/extract them unfortunantly, recording this weekend, should make for a canvas that sounds full of colour. Doom 3 was released, which I properly bought the day it came out... the first 2 came out when I was 10 and 11 respectivly, and I can fondly remeber being absolutly terrirfied and inspired by the game, the most recent edition did not let me down one bit, it is an absolutly marvelous game that is beyond well done, simply playing it evokes quite a large array of warm fuzzy childhood memories. Shooting classmates with sawed off shotguns in the library doesn't even remotely factor in to these memories either.
Worked for Branch Labs again as well, back to Nestle, where we UVed and did penetrin testing on their coffee cells, 3 short nights of work for a rather large paycheck. I hope to be working their more frequently in the coming months, great pay, and great people. When work ends I'll also need to call Beth and set up a dinner date with her, fantastic, it'll be a good catching up time.
This week has been pretty nice so far, good night last night, working on music the rest of the week. Today Donki and I visited Aziz and got things finalized for the new website, and then Friday seeing Yes... Steve Howe's fingers'll probably fly off when he solos during... well anything, at least I should be close enough to catch one. After that, no work, gives me a good 1.5 weeks to normalize things, book a nice weekend camping trip, and generally rule. Also, got a Yamaha CS15 a few weeks back, arrived anyway, great great synth, huge grungy sounds, and nice gentle filter sweeps if neccessary... really unique sounding oscillators in general... well worth it. Hopefully I win that Nord Modular too.....
Iv'e seen more headlines in the past weeks stating "Al-Sadr ready to negotiate" than nearly anything else.. I guess this just goes in with accordance of Muslim law, where it is only acceptable for Muslims to have a truce with "infidels" in order for the Muslim forces to regroup and rework their strategies. Once they have done so, the truce is off, and fighting begins again, as it has over and over as of late. Senselessness, so much for "holy" shrines.
Religion and/or the religious, exist for my personal amusement.
