tales from an ordinary world

1999-08-23

First, the administrivia. Happy 30th anniversary, Mum & Dad. Happy 27th birthday, Scod.

Right.

I'm still deep in the trenches, but when you're feeling this way most people just don't want to know, so I hold it in and wait for the sun to break through the clouds - It's gotta happen one of these days. A slight case of optimism can be such a curse sometimes...

...and it's times like this when random loud music comes to the rescue. Moby's Animal Rights, Skinny Puppy, whatever else. I forget. Such a whirl of noise - lyrics that just don't make sense. Noise, noise, noise. Make it all go away. Make it stop.

Please.

Addendum : While reading the insert to Skinny Puppy's last studio album, The Process, I notice the dedication to one of their members, Dwayne Goettel - born February 1st 1964, committed suicide August 23rd 1995. What an odd coincidence. Thanks for the music, dude...
