So, it’s miles off from the full moon and everything’s gone a little weird.

I think I’m having fun. In principle at least.

I keep on not thinking about what I’m saying and just splurging random sentences based on things I can see or smell or am remembering. Poor Mr Subliminal had to put up with me randomly running around town and buying musickyness for most of today. Then I got dinner cooked for me by the household of love…or something like that. Lovely people. Aubergine and onion stuff in pitta. Mmmmmmmm…mm.

Anyway, I’m at work for five hours…then quickly changing into my gladrags and jetting off to Bi-fest to watch two of my friends DJ for a couple of hours. Judging from the music that each of them usually prefers it’s likely to be a rather interesting mix of breakcore and twee indie. However…with a maniac adult baby and tiny, lovely weirdo on the old spinning platters, it’s hard to know what to expect.

I hope to have fun.

Anyway, the point is that it’s all been confusing. I spend too much money on records, but they sound like very good records so far. Organisation has been week.

I had a day of lazy yesterday, which only survived until about sixish..when I started rushing around town like a giant headless chicken. Fun was had…but it seemed to be a lot of effort. I still need to catch up on sleep and am refusing to let myself. My hope is that after this weekend I will have damaged my liver so much that it’ll make me want to give it a break for a while and just play like a nice normal kid for a couple of days.

I appear to be favouring the abstract.

Not many people can accurately explain what’s going on. I don’t know if that’s my fault or theirs. I probably should have trusted my instinct not to smoke any today…but even just one has sent me a little sideways.

Keep focussed on the fun.

Everything’s been weird for a while. For those that don’t know…I broke up with Siggy. This has been weird, but theoretically remains a good thing. I don’t particularly want to go into it.

Anyway, it’s not been that that the weirdness is focussed upon. I appear to just be having mild communication issues. Thoughts are jumbled and loose.

It’s not like I’m lost…just confused.

And spending a lot of my time too tired to do what I want to do.

On the plus side, I watched I heart Huckabees again the other night. It’s a wonderful film. I’d understand if lots of people wouldn’t like it, but personally, I think it’s definitely lovely.

It should be pretentious, but instead seems to pursue a rather unique goal of making the philosophical the everyday. Everything is indeed the blanket.

But, yeah…I think it’s nice, by trying to live philosophy rather than just talking about it, you get somewhere closer to something special. Taoist talk again (I’ve been reading the Tao of Pooh, which i don’t think what the I Ching meant when it told me to consult the oracle, but what the heck).

Anyway, I liked it, I can see how many wouldn’t. It does deal with things an a rather saccharine way, but then…i think there’s a lot of sadness in there. It’s just kind of cartoonified. But perhaps that’s part of the point. The film talks about living a philosophical life, but is forced to take place in a world that inherently fits the philosophy. The world is simplified and the whole piece is as detached from reality as philosophical thought so often seems.

I think I’m overusing the word Philosophical without saying what I think it means.

Whaddya gonna do?

So yeah, how should one approach life?

Feet on the ground…or in the air? Grounded or Aired? Full of reality or full of nonsense?

Fantasy or whatever else there is?

I do wonder.

What do you think?

It is a good film, and as for the main question, in my experience, one should strive for balance between keeping oneself grounded whilst not being afraid to pursue the fantastic and the whimsical. Too much of either side, however, can leave you feeling either a bit drained or a bit unstable…

Personally I’m enjoying having my feet in the air at the moment ;P
Sorry I’ve been crap recently, but I’m here if you want to talk via e-mail or in person.

Balance can be important….especially if you’re feet are in the air.

I tend to be that way most of the time (people know this already though..surely).

I am working on being able to spin around.

    Alabaster Crippens doesn't entirely believe in objective truth, therefore he can neither confirm or deny the accuracy of any statement, image or impression caused by, or displayed on, these pages of the so called 'internet'. He does however not want to get sued, even if the lawyers, legal system, and the concept of jurisprudence doesn't exist. Therefore if you believe the nonsense posted on here you do so entirely at your own risk. In other words: Don't sue me 'cause I might not mean it. Basically, anything you hear from anyone is unreliable, so if you want the 'truth' you need the perspectives of as many people as you can get..ideally people who are trustworthy and close to the particular 'truth' you wish to inspect. If you start trusting idiots with silly (and obviously made up) names then you're developing some kind of problem. Check your sources, examine their own politcal (or other) motivation, remember that anything people say is opinion unless you are certain that they speak the 'truth'. Even your own eyes can lie. Trust me on that one. Or don't..it doesn't bother me. Finally, everything written here is, to the best of my knowledge written by me and I reserve my right to be recognised as the author of these works. Any input from other sources should be clearly shown, if you note a mistake or anything..tell me..I'll try and sort out the problem. Please ask me if you want to use anything for commercial reasons...I probably won't mind but I need to know I'm not supporting anything I don't want to support. This is an attempt at a legal notice written without legal knowledge. Just follow the principles, I think most of you get what I mean, even if it won't stand up in a court of law. Just be polite you know...like in the good ole days.
