"It was the tiniest suitcase I had ever seen, and believe me, I've seen some small suitcases in my time..."

I'm sorry, but I'm [un]able to post to this blog right no[w] - but please call back so[on] - your visits are im[port]ant to us.

It's a done deal. No more concearns for a while. I might even take a holiday - I might even leave me mac behind. But probably not. I'm off wandering for a few days, but I'll be keeping busy. I need one week in some cheap and cheerful hotel away from everyone and everything. Just think. Plot me future out a bit.

I went into work for the very last time today. Finally sorted it all out. Strange - they've finally got everything sorted out too. Tried to find a nice way of saying 'I'm going off to be arty'. The place looks fantastic - this warehouse studio with a coffee lounge, reception, iMac style kitchen. But they still worship satan.
[Any]thing is possible.

Thanks to lovely Lee from the Cobridge Massive for this cheering shemail:

THE FOLLOWING IS A CHINESE GOOD LUCK TANTRA TOTEM...

This tantra totem has been sent to you for good luck. It has been sent
around the world ten times so far. You will receive good luck within four
days of relaying this tantra totem.

Send copies to people you think need good luck. Don't send
money as fate has no price. Do not keep this message.
The tantra totem must leave your hands in 96 hours. You will get a very pleasant surprise.

This is true, even if you are not superstitious.

ONE. Give people more than they expect and do it cheerfully.

TWO. Marry a man/woman you love to talk to. As you get
older, their conversational skills will be as important as any other.


THREE. Don't believe all you hear, spend all you have
or sleep all you want.

FOUR. When you say, "I love you", mean it.

FIVE. When you say, "I'm sorry", look the person in the eye.

SIX. Be engaged at least six months before you get married .

SEVEN. Believe in love at first sight.

EIGHT. Never laugh at anyone's dreams. People who don't have dreams don't have much.

NINE. Love deeply and passionately. You might get hurt but it's the only way to live life completely.

TEN. In disagreements, fight fairly. No name calling.

ELEVEN. Don't judge people by their relatives.

TWELVE. Talk slowly but think quickly.

THIRTEEN. When someone asks you a question you don't want to answer, smile and ask, "Why do you want to know?"

FOURTEEN. Remember that great love and great achievements involve great risk.

FIFTEEN. Say "bless you" when you hear someone sneeze.

SIXTEEN. When you lose, don't lose the lesson.

SEVENTEEN. Remember the three R's: Respect for self; Respect for others;

Responsibility for all your actions.

EIGHTEEN. Don't let a little dispute injure a great friendship.

NINETEEN. When you realize you've made a mistake, take immediate steps to correct it.

TWENTY. Smile when picking up the phone. The caller will hear it in your voice.

TWENTY ONE. Spend some time alone.

Now, here's the FUN part!

Send this to at least 5 people and your life will improve.

0-4 people: Your life will improve slightly.

5-9 people: Your life will improve to your liking

9-14 people: You will have at least 5 surprises in the next 3 weeks

15 and above: Your life will improve drastically

and everything you ever dreamed of will begin to take shape.

Happiness is a perfume you cannot pour on others without getting few drops on yourself.

"Art is an outer dialogue with an inner voice."
Genesis P'orridge 'Troubador to the worlds'

"Ultimately all L-if-E really IS art, and all art is a conversation with and path towards union with the ineffable, with the Divine, with those beings and super beings that are more than humanE. It is movement towards re-union with a Supreme Creator, with OLODUMARE.

"Basically, what I replied to these Lords --who were under the administration of the Queen, answerable directly to her-- was "Look, you try to close this show down, we'll paint the whole place camouflage. We'll put sandbags outside and declare this a free zone. We'll have a war. You're not coming in, we're not going out. What do you want? Because I will not stop and I will not close this show down for you, for the Queen, the government, the newspapers or a-n-y-o-n-e. If we have to live in here under siege, we will. And you won't like THAT publicity!" (laughs). "

The Great Chocolate Bar Conspiracy

‘The Great Chocolate Bar Conspiracy’ of the late 1990’s apparently told the story of the connection between victims of the ‘visitor phenomenon’ which began in ernest in the mid 1950’s. A report by Dr Inkval Ability of The University of Haddenford, suggested that each and every victim of aparent ‘alien abduction’ had all eaten a certain chocolate bar as children.

What you refer to as 'the consumer society' is actually a mechanism designed to ensure your proper transition from Pisces to Aquarius. Each transition has such a mechanism. The last one, transferring you from Aires to Pisces, was the idea of the risen man. This idea, and the ethics of the Gospel, gave you a structure upon which could be built a new society. But that time is past. The society has out-lived its usefulness. It's time for something new. This is why the present mechanism is destructive, not constructive.

After the suffering you are about to endure, mankind will never again lust after material wealth. You are about to suffocate in your own garbage.

"I have much more of a sense of self," Liz says quietly, looking out on the water. "I'm getting some power. I just gave it all away - just to any man in my life."



"The music didn't matter, the place didn't matter. It didn't matter that I hadn't had enough to eat, or sleep. I didn't feel out of place.

I feel impossibly light - unthinking but conscious.

Maybe I'm not looking for anything. Maybe everything I really need is all right here and now - if I know how to look for it.

But when you look me in the eye, I know that it's OK to - just - shut - up...

I'm at rest. I'm wading out into the space you make, with just this curious gaze - a brave bemusement.

Not waiting to be entertained. Not speaking about nothing.


You forgotten about the town. It's never been on the map because it's so small. Just a couple of streets really.

I'm looking. I've always been looking - I just have no idea what I'm looking for. But when I meet your gaze, I feel like I could stop - I feel like a child sinking into quicksand. But it's safe. I can accept it. But it's really bloody scary.

Those barely blue eyes wide."

'the press coverage is largely utter bullshit. Tell everyone you know.'

The authorities have no idea how to handle this kind of thing. We are given no legal way of protesting that doesn't get us ignored and ridiculed. So I'm sure it's a total shock when people actually take a stand. But look at it this way - if that amount of protestors were really blood thirsty thugs - do you really think they would have just stood there all that time without tearing the police limb from limb?
