I Do Miss This…
I have missed this stuff soooo much. Silly bint that I am to have done so. Really don’t know why I should have. Why does it matter anyway? Dunno…

Early birthday present! Thank you, Simple Minds! OMG…I don’t even know where else to begin or what else to say here other than …. SQUEEEEE!!! Russell Mael guesting on a track! Fucking hell! That is so fucking awesome! I’m betting Jim would have been like a kid in a candy store with that one. Jeez-o!…

Reading today’s post on SM FB, it sounds as if the days of rest have done Mr Kerr a wealth of good. It sounds as if he is in positively rude health in fact. Which is all good. I’ll stay here in my bunker feeling completely “damned if I do and damned if I don’t.”…
“You don’t learn how to be an artist by going to school. It’s something you’re born with. It’s about observing the world – but laying down your own truth.” The quote above was at the end of Jim’s post today, credited to Bob Lefsetz. Before I continue on about Lefsetz I want to say that…
A curious thing happened yesterday. Jim posted a photo of himself and Gordy – looking for all the world like a coupla Glesga gangstas – a great image, really, esp. as it was given more menace by Jim’s face being obscured by shade. Despite it feeling much like “pissing in the wind” these days, I…

But over seven years of producing the art though. Writing and study have taken over in recent months. I’m not sure when I last made anything. It has always been my own “Act Of Love”. The “art” always expressed the things that I wanted to say when words failed me. Mostly “I love you, Jim”…
In reply to James Clear (and James Kerr, for the matter. Lol). Jim’s post today. I do miss those kinds of posts! These would be the kinds of posts we’d get from him fairly regularly “back in the day”. Posts with a philosophical slant. “All good things come to an end.” “Nothing lasts forever.” “You…
What does one do when the creative writing well seems dry? Find a topic? Pick something? It’s nearing the end of the first week of January. I could talk to you about howJanuary feels to me? It feels like a month of 62 days! Most of the time… But this time may just be different….
I would have liked to have written more in relation to Jim’s post yesterday, but I had just written my waffling blurb about Space (or more accurately what the song Space means to me) for MMM and I didn’t have that much writing left in me. So I left it for today. I’m not sure…
