"But where are all the Cool People?"

Oh yes. Where are they?

This question really struck a chord with me when I heard Steve Wright (off Radio 2 and Steve Wright in the afternoon) say it the other day on the TV.

He was explaining how when he joined the Top of the Pops show back in the early 80s everyone had a frightfully posh BBC accent. All he could say was " Hey but this is a Music show. Where are all the cool people?"

Yes where are they Steve? I certainly dont get to be around them most of the time. I always get to meet the uncool and unhip set. The set that could bore the pants of me. Sentences that ramble on about something so uninteresting. Sucking the lifeblood from me. I have usually stopped listening halfway through anyway. I politely smile and laugh in sympathy. Whatever. Hey I hope that these uncool people dont think i am their friend now ? Yikes! Ive been hanging round them too long. Correction theyve been hanging round me too long. Have I been indoctrinated into the Uncool set?

Oh lord I may need a personality transplant. This is serious! No cool people dont do serious.

Mission - I gotta find the cool people. Where are you cool people ?

Hey Rubi, you are a cool multi-coloured fish swimming in a large tank full of flounders and identical grey cod.

I been back to work a few times and you're no where to be seen, I guess """working""" from home :-) or have you found a new set of shinier fish to hang out with?

I fearI have slipped into some parallel universe as I'm sure I saw the words steve wright and cool in the same sentence.

I'm the pot that's going to call his kettle black.

Part III - Please Give me Second Grace

In this blog is my memory. Part ecstasy, part torture. To explore, and to arrive at the start — and know the place for the first time. Here begins a new enlightenment " You are the music while the music lasts " T. S. Eliot

The Arctic ....ashes to ashes

Travel log - Last month i went on an Arctic Expedition. An Expedition around the Archipeligo island of Svalbard. (Spitsbergen to me and you) http://www.ocnwide.com/ocn.htm Why go there ? i was asked many times over. Many thought i was a lunatic and very very few thought it was fantastic. In fact those few (strangers) thought i had made their day by mentioning this fact. Were they wanting shot of me?? they had only just met me... hmmm i wonder now.... The truth of it was i wanted to find inner peace, a calmness, a happiness from within. I wanted to go there and feel one with the landscape. I would go alone. so did i find it ? did i find my Utopia ? The answer - NO! and i have only myself to blame for this - for I did far too much talking, far too much laughing, far too much merry making.... But its gotta be said .. it was one of the most enjoyable times of mylife. The landscape was absolutely jaw dropping. The majestic glaciers were unbelievable. So unashamedly and unbelievably BEAUTIF...
