Let's talk.

Raining here now!
Go to the cinema xxxx

 

We have'nt got a cinema in our town anymore,they converted it to a swanky bistro/bar

 

That is unfair. Do you have Ten-pin bowling? That is fun. xxx

 

Now why would I go out in the pouring rain to the cinema, when, if I'm patient and wait a couple of years, the same film will be shown on the television and I can sit back in my recliner armchair supping Remy Martin and munching choccies to my heart's content.

 

No bowling either, not much of anything in this town

 

Well my darling, I don't blame you. xxx

 

Oh dear, let me think?
Get to the pub. xxxx

 

Nah, I much prefer a nice cuppa tea & a cheese sandwich

 

Me too in the week.
Get baking. xxxx

 

Done that at the weekend, ( see the munchie thread)

 

OH????

You are a challenge!

Let me think?????
Go to Youtube and learn to Tango?
You can then Tango me. lol

 

I don't dance
How's the ankle by the way?

 

Not painful anymore. It is still healing though.

Don't dance??? Mmmm what are we to do to amuse you? lol

 

site actually seems to be in one of its drifting away from things the interest me fazes.

environment not being an aesthetic, but what we are surrounded by and dependent on, however invisible this might be to people living in cities and worshiping cars.
i do love infrastructure when it serves all, regardless of social or economic status, and does so in ways that respect environment.
one that depends upon everyone being required to indenture themselves to a car, doesn't.

freedom of kinds and construction of shelter is interesting too, and another dominant, symbolic value based culture, doesn't seem to favor either.

not suggesting we should have to ignore the box of human society entirely, but any real freedom does lie beyond conventionality,
and not in the direction of increasing inconsiderateness either.

i seem to recall, or perhaps did i mis-perceive at the time, that hip counterculture, the underlying concept even, was that no conventionality was a wall around the universe,
but instead only one tiny off in its own little corner, part of it.

i even love technologies, when they are chosen with logic and used with consideration for more then what is one's own.

i'm glad people still like cats. they might be the only thing we would recognize that might still be around long after our own species is gone.
they somehow redeam everything else in spite of themselves.

the whole mind altering thing wasn't an end in itself, but again a way of recognizing the shallowness of conventionality.
even if it did, for a time, become a kind of mini-conventionality of its own.
like blue denem, which i could never stand, because it was, even long before hip or even beatnik came along.

well someone wanted to talk. these are my thoughts, however random or otherwise.

i could say things about sex and families and religions too, but each have their own places elsewhere.

 

"well someone wanted to talk. these are my thoughts, however random or otherwise."

That's all well and good, but did you have to throw them all at us at once? It's a bit overwhelming!

I would like Soul to let us know how he is.

 

I'm okay.

Things in my life are looking upward, but it's been a challenge; like climbing Everest a challenge...

I have changed jobs frequently, frantically trying to make ends meet for each month's dues.

I'm marrying the love of my life, and that is how I choose to characterize my persona: husband. father? maybe not... (getting a vasectomy April 6), but husband and hugs and holding hands, with absolute certainty.

She's coming... she'll be here next year after graduation and it can't be soon enough.

She's also sick. She has the flu for the 5th or 6th time in two years!

Here is some video I shared with her on the importance of vaccination:

 

Thank you Soul.
I have been thinking lots about you both.
Let us hope this year is a good year. X

 

It seems a number of us are going through some shit right now. I'm still recuperating from my hospital stay, still have a drainage bag attached, I see a doctor tomorrow and I'm confident that I'm ready to have it removed. It's like a lightweight ball and chain. After that I'll still be on meds for a couple more weeks.

But we're all going to recover and see better days! And one of the things that will help pull us through is the support we get from our friends at HipForums!
