It feels strange, actually sitting here getting to write at my leisure. I've had words bubbling over to the surface for weeks yet now I'm stymied for where to start...
Let's start with John Peel. I was quite saddened by his death. The Peel Sessions are linked with memories of D. so it was as if the last tangible link was gone. The Tsunami Tragedy..Obviously I was stunned and horrified..yet, at the same time..not shocked because Nature can turn deadly, it's just fact. I think the world's reaction was an example of the world agreeing on something at least for a moment. Yet, that same number of people die of AIDS in one year and not enough is really being done. A rant for another day... Bush winning the election and "moral values": Sheep, seriously. It's scary how hypocratical the people of this nation can be. Music: I'm woefully behind but wasn't the new Interpol. Trembling Blue Stars and Snow Patrol albums extrordinary examples of how perfect music can be? I'm not evading how things are personally. Really. It's just hard to put into words, I've not written in a year and I've changed so much emotionally that words are more halting now. Right now life is sort of surreal. That big storm that hit California literally cut the mountain off from the rest of the world. All roads in and out were closed, the telephone service went down and we were either getting 5 feet of snow or mudslides as a result of the rain. It was unbelievable. Currrently we can only travel one road out and only during designated times. It feels confining, add to that the fact that the schools have been closed and you can imagine, Rymer and I are bored out of our minds. It's been a strange year. I've found that the things which so desperately seemed to matter; no longer do. I've no clear outlook at what lies ahead but finally, somehow it's not so much a worry that things will turn out badly but a confidance that they will turn out fine if not great. After all, we all settle where we're meant to..
