AGNOSTIC
I was strumming an eerie chord
when rain began to fall
In that moment
a life of not only believing in
the supernatural
but believing also that a person
of all things
should be its trigger
seemed a thrilling life indeed
And then, like rain, the hysteria
passed
...just thought i'd open this entry by laying my cards on the ideological table, so to speak. i have loads of these pointless minor poems; i'm thinking i'll print them onto toilet roll and sell them downt' market.
* * *
so... hmm, bit of trivia for ya here - now that i'm rehearsing 3 times a week in 3 different bands, practise itself will be costing me 72 a month, 864 a year. not sure how i feel about that figure. meh. and speaking of music, i have a run of awesome shows coming up:
25/08 - Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds @ Alexandra Palace
31/08 - the fucking PIXIES @ the "Alli Palli" again
07/09 - Nile @ Camden Palace (what's with all the palaces?)
(can't remember)/10 - Mick Harvey @ The Underworld
...hooray.
* * *
i wanna change my profile pic. these days i have more hair, more beard, but less tache. plus the current pic is just a bit crap. stay tuned.
* * *
we (my housemates and i) had a guest at the house recently. she and i don't know each other so well, but it's been a while all the same so we did the catching-up thing - or at least tried. she asks me "how's life been?" i pause for a moment, and then for some reason come out with "well, it's been a slow and gruelling process of discovering all new boredoms, and depths thereof." so that was the end of that conversation.
* * *
it's Fenchurch's birthday tomorrow, so be nice.
* * *
i shall leave you with a Sartre quote that i have always found far too comfortable applying to myself.
"I haven't any troubles. I have some money like a gentleman of leisure. I have no boss, no wife, no children. I exist, that's all. And that particular trouble is so vague, so metaphysical, that I am ashamed of it."
