What do I write with a blog title like that? Bit arsey. Bit up itself. confrontational. Cool.
When I meet people for the first time, i always like to sit back and hear who they think they are. I'm sure we all do it. Or, it could just be me. There is something about first meetings, particularly over booze which lets people say how mean they think they are, and anyone doubting it, look out.
Usually people turn out to be quite cuddly, having got this off their chest. Some don't. They are the utter bastards they said. But, they weren't lying. Aah.......

We've been to the office.
Current mood:homey
Category: Life
This evening Beth and I went to my office. I haven't been there for ages. Jan, Feb, March are the most lethal for my MS every year. April isn't looking that good. It was snowing on the way there, which makes moving to Santa Fe seem like a great idea all over again.
The office is great. I will be chugging down there a lot over April and May to sit and write my show for Edinburgh.
. I know everyone else seems to be running their shows already, from what I'm reading. I don't have that option. If I could gig everyday I would. However, I gig when I can. This means its fresh, or a bit creaky.
So down to the office I go. Time to form the babble into focused bullshit.

Maybe I know exactly what I'm doing. I'm getting things wrong on purpose.
99% pure chocolate, much like 100% pure drugs, pure shite. There is a reason they chuck all that sugar in. Fans of grave dust are in for a treat.

Surrounded
Category: Dreams and the Supernatural
The front room is full of books. Books we are throwing away, in an attempt to monk ourselves so we don't have to move much. Its stunning the level of shite you accumulate. CD's that never left their plastic wrappers, books whose spines remain uncracked, food that sits in the fridge slowly rotting, awaiting eviction. Slowly rotting awaiting eviction. Hmm. As a life metaphor, quite horrible. Nice turn of phrase though.
If the Devil has all the best tunes, the misanthrope has a lot of the best lines. Being profound and meaningful only ever works by accident. As soon s religion is crossed with money it is worthless. Salesmen selling something pretend in your head, trying to frighten you into believing and paying for something that they aren't even sure about. They sure like the money though.
How did I get from too many books to religion? Bible.

The last. The final. appocalypse. a lot of people base their lives around the belief that the world will end. They hope their religio-superstition is the one, and when everything implodes, their Goddy person will sweep them up into paradise. They are also the same people who watch drug ads like hawks, trying to figure out what is wrong with them now.
What are you worried about? if you are right, death is a fun transition into what you keep bleating on about. A lovely cloud, a beautiful pasture, and no bills. Or, you got it wrong, in which case pack some lotion.

spent a great couple of days in Illinois, where we will be moving when we can get our arse in gear. Wasn't really looking forward to coming back. No diss on columbus, which has been a cool place to live. I'm getting twitchy, and my brain has half moved out already.
This happened in England too. As soon as Beth and I knew we were getting married I knew I was leaving England and moving to America.
Movement is one of the few controls I have with MS. When I left england,I had stopped doing stand up because my body couldn't take it anymore. Came to Columbus thinking I would never perform again. Saw an audition for shakespeare in the park and ended up acting for 6 years. Last year MS caught up again and I cannot act on stage anymore. Solution? booked a one man show in Edinburgh at the fringe, which I know I can do, having done a few one man shows while I've been here. To be honest I'm not quite sure what's coming. I know I'm grateful for the opportunities I've been given. But, gotta go. Slowly.
This evening was great. Saw Morrissey at the palace downtown. Gig! What's great about Columbus is that you can see a gig this good and its dead easy to get to, comfortable, great sound, and even the stage invaders waited patiently for the last song and then took being hurled from the stage remarkably well.
Morrissey did a few Smiths tunes, i didn't realise the Death of a Disco Dancer could be that powerful. One of columbus' great strengths is that great bands come through here all the time. i saw Bob Dylan supported by Elvis Costello last year, and the Cult, and Bruce springsteen. This is a great music city. Cheers Columbus.
