another friday night, this time with bourbon and coke zero fueling the silliness, and the soundtrack provided at this time of the night by wilson pickett.

you cannot help but feel good when you listen to soul music, it's not just the alcohol, it's the music, not that i want to analyse the fun out out of it, but it is just so relentlessly positive and life-affirming.

go, eat drink and be merry, enjoy, wilson pickett, enjoy sam and dave, booker t and the mg's, smokey robinson, otis redding, jackie wilson, and all the rest.

yours soulfully

i checked, it seems i have never been featured in blogs of note.

not surprised really.

does anyone actually read this?

in any case i enjoy the relative anonymity i enjoy in this world, i value the acknowledgment of those i care about more than complete strangers, of whom i demand only the rapt and rapturous adulation and fawning toadying arse kissing.

anyway, today i am on holiday for a week or so, so i will going to see the desert, to find solace in the solitude and silence of the outback. i will hopefully find something of myself out there and come back more real than when i left.

lets think about loneliness for a minute, i am all alone in this universe really, i have dear close friends, and i would like to believe there is something akin to a supreme being who we can get close to through spiritual exercise, and i sure hope that i will find someone with whom i can live out my life, whom i can learn to love, but ultimately we are all single isolated units, seeking to huddle together in the face of what is a cold and impersonal world, with a very uncertain future.

maybe we all need more love in our lives, maybe the thought of love, the hope of finding true love and the peace it brings is what we need, i know that somedays it is all that keeps me going. hope is both a blessing and a curse.

love to you today
