Today I am: basking in the warmth of cosmic sorrow, tiredness and being slightly askew. My dreams were unsettling. A man brainwashed my family. Please note that this is not my actual family, but a different family that came into existence for the purposes of my dream.There were stones and a snake at some point. Oh, and I met Meg White in a bar, I asked her if that was really Jack White singing on Danger! High Voltage. She wouldn't answer me, but Jack White was actually there, facing into a pillar. He had a fruity coctail.
Another list for your viewing pleasure. |

I should mention that I had my interview on Monday morning. I brought my suit, and my birth certificate along. Y'know, to prove that I actually WAS born and didn't just materialise out of thin air twenty minutes ago. There were two interviewers. A man, to who I was to address my responses, and a woman who took notes. Notes such as: 'ASYMMETRICAL FACIAL FEATURES', 'mumbles and stutters', drank water from a small plastic cup' and such. She was cute; he had a small, but prominent wart on his face, and also an uneven hair cut. When I came to the end of the interview, I was asked whether I had any question to ask them. This is traditionally where I mess up. I said no. I got up to shake the hands of my interviewers. I tried to speak, but owing to a lack of air pressure, I only mouthed the words 'pleased to meet you'.
I went home and began the first draft of my script for The Magdelene Sisters II. In this gritty, hard-hitting sequel, set in a Magdele Laundry in rural Ireland in the 1960s, lounge singer Doloris Van Carter (Whoopi Goldberg) poses as a nun in order to escape from her mobster boyfriend. This sassy, black woman teaches the nuns the true meaing of soul and turns around the fortunes of the convent's choir. You'll also have to endure Kathy Najimy's stupid face (and stinking, possibly infected, vagina) on screen for a good thirty minutes. It's fucking sick! |

I was unwell for the past two days. However, I am currently well. Two days of lying around the house isn't fun. I feel all isolated and stuff. At the bottom of the celestial heirachy, and assigned no particular function. Outside seems particularly green and vital.
The trees hunch and bow in sympathy. They understand great sorrow. And the general stillness. Nonspecific stillness. I've spent far too much time watching television over the past few days, and it's taking it's toll. I'm a firm believer in the idea that in trying "to make sense out of the barrage of disconnected information we face daily" people generally try to find patterns where there are none, and try to assign meaning where there is none. I'm not one of those people. Since the age of fourteen I've found myself unable to believe in anything. I'm a skeptic. But not in the hostile sense.
I'm going to miss the leafy campus when I'm gone. And other things. |

| | the hum of computer fans | ] | I'm in limbo, awkardly shifting on a squaky swivel chair. The studio is overwhelmingly blue (walls, carpet, etc.), and may or may not have ever been cleaned. My braces, newly tightened. I had a brief and fairly unnerving meeting with my esteemed course director about a composition portfolio, that I have yet to begin. The remaining few months will be full to the brim with the joys of granular synthesis, phase vocoders, and stuff like that there. I may need a sip of Jesus Juice to get me through. Anyhow, lighting and fans. Things like windows and fresh air are luxuries to those studing sound technology. |

| | Papa M - Hole Of Burning Alms | ] | Woke up. Got out of bed. Had breakfast. Slunk to the bus stop, wishing I was still in bed. By the end of my 75 minute bus journey, I was consumed by intestinal discomfort, and felt like I was going to vomit. So I stepped of the bus and hurried along to the Burger King on O'Connell St. I rushed into the lavatory, and my discomfort was relieved, but it was then that I realised, the mensroom of Burger King is a strange place at 9am. There was an African band banging at the door of the stall next to mine, pleading with the occupants, two skangers, for a joint/hit/fix/score. I dunno exactly, but DRUGS anyhow. I wasn't exactly comfortable being in the midst of this, especially given the fact that I have to wash my hand quite a lot after using the toilet. Nobody noticed me.
And so I rushed off, once again. To my Civil Service Aptitude test. I made it in time. Squeezed into an elevator, like a Sardinian. So, I waited in line, produced my forms, and sat where I was told. I could make a go of this Civil Service thing. I can be a faceless slug. The tests were intense. And the waiting between tests, while the slugs explained all. I swiveled anxiously on my swivel chair. When it was all over I volunteered to participate in testing of their new computerised Aptitude Test. The reward was a fifteen euro voucher for the Jervic Centre. There was a problem with my computer. A slug with glasses came to fix it. As I moved, I took his photocopies in hand. So used, am I, to carrying around photocopies. He seemed bothered by this, and I didn't feel the need to explain.
And so, I'm rushed out of the building, and wander across the luas tracks to the Jervis Centre. My experience, is of stumbling around wondering exactly where I am. And that strange hooting sound was just KT Tunstall. Argos is confusing. |

Agnosticism is not properly described as a 'negative' creed, nor indeed as a creed of any kind, except in so far as it expresses absolute faith in the validity of a principle, which is as much ethical as intellectual. This principle may be stated in various ways, but they all amount to this: that it is wrong for a man to say that he is certain of the objective truth of any proposition unless he can produce evidence which logically justifies that certainity. This is what Agnosticism asserts; and, in my opinion, it is all that is essential to Agnosticism. That which Agnostics deny, and repudiate as immoral, is the contrary doctrine, that there are propositions which men ought to believe, without logically satisfactory evidence.
Thomas Henry Huxley, "Agnosticism and Christianity" Agnosticism and Christianity and Other Essays (1889, Buffalo, NY: Prometheus, 1992), p. 193.
My feeling as a Christian points me to my Lord and Savior as a fighter. It points me to the man who once in loneliness, surrounded only by a few followers, recognized these Jews for what they were and summoned men to fight against them and who, God's truth! was greatest not as a sufferer but as a fighter. In boundless love as a Christian and as a man I read through the passage which tells us how the Lord at last rose in his might and seized the scourge to drive out of the temple the brood of vipers and adders. How terrific was his fight against the Jewish poison. Today, after two thousand years, with deepest emotion I recognize more profpoundly than ever before that it was for this that he had to shed his blood on the Cross. As a Christian I have no duty to allow myself to be cheated, but I have the duty to be a fighter for truth and justice...".
[Adolf Hitler, speech, April 12 1922, published in "New Order"]
If you want to know what God thinks of money, just look at the people he gave it to. Dorothy Parker (1893 - 1967)
Antichrist is the pope and the Turk [Muslim] together. A beast full of life must have a body and soul. The spirit or soul of Antichrist is the pope, his flesh or body the Turk. [Martin Luther, Table Talk]
The big thieves hang the little ones. Czech Proverb
If you believe everything you read, better not read. Japanese Proverb
Military justice is to justice what military music is to music. Groucho Marx (1890 - 1977)
Feminists hate men. They're sexist. They hate men -- that's their problem. Jerry Falwell
To call a man an animal is to flatter him; he's a machine, a walking dildo. It's often said that men use women. Use them for what? Surely not pleasure. Valerie Solanas
"All sex, even consensual sex between a married couple, is an act of violence perpetrated against a woman." Catherine MacKinnon
“America is a dumbass country. It’s sad that we’re a superpower in this world. We treat this country like it’s a sports team: Go America!! Kick Iraq’s ass! All right red, white and blue!” Indira |

| | Europe - The Final Countdown | ] | I squeak when punctured by a needle. No, I mean an actual squeak, like when you apply pressure to certain doggie toys. I never had a doggie when I was a lad, and so, I'm only now learning the practical realities of such concepts as: love, empathy, compassion, and various others. I was always better at stuff like greed and materialism. And gluttony. And at freaking out at the IDEA of somebody TOUCHING a piano key with greasy HANDS. Anyhow, the point is that this the cutest thing I've ever seen. My paranoia is kinda at odds with my apathy and laziness. I mean, all of these paranoid internet guys really make an effort, and are well informed about stuff, stuff that may not even have happened.
Now I'm off to puncture squeaky toys with needles. |

Yesterday I gave blood. It was a cold day, which I spent in Dublin. Wandering around, as usual. And putting up notices in guitar shops. The IBTS clinic on D'olier St, looks straight down O' Connell St., from the window of the canteen. From there I could see the spire of the Pro-Cathedral, and of course Ireland's greatest folly, the Spike.
A cold day. And I think I should get rhinoplasty. |

| | Hildegard of Bingen | ] | I sat in the library, being, as I was wet and hot and tired and with no motivation to do any kind of study, I decided to listen to some music. Hildegard of Bingen, who was apparently also a theologian, apart from being a composers and Abbess. Her music, gently distorting as you would expect from an old cassette, is an expression of perfect calm. I watched the faces of the others around me from that booth. And the overcast sky. And the crane behind slowly turning. I took slow, deep breaths. |
