their future, present. and in some ways i've reverted to ways of thinking from then, having changed inbetween or was it moulded, by university education criteria propaganda useless knowledge, like some kind of brief respite from an otherwise dull and eventless life if you want to swallow all the lifestyle propaganda pumping from every media orifice on the planet. sorry, am i rambling? i need this weather to improve otherwise i will not get out on my mountain bike enough to feel that i am alive enough or feel a part of this earth EARTH enough and into some virtual fantasy dream world digital imagination i will pass. this is my avatar online and digital computer offline and not me when i am with real life people - this so-called art"work" i produce i frankly find an embaressment, unless they, the people or person, unless they laugh at my little jokes i scatter - here - and - there, amongst the dross. but mostly they don't see that, they don't see what i'm doing and all they see is the shit. they thinking i make shit because i can't make good shit but i make shit because i want to make something out of shit, or nothing, or just make what i make for myself for myself. because no other bugger is gonna help me out here with things i might try or ways i could improve what i do,a n d f r a n k l y i d o n t g i v e a d a m n , m y d e ar. t h i s i s t h e p r o p e r a r t d a r l i n g ' a v e s o m e a t h a t . i d o n ' t n e e d y o u b l oo d y p e s k y h u m a n s s o ----------------------------------------------------------------- s o t h e r e y o u have it. a waste of space. and some ideas, and a 5 minute digital computer music composition narrative. take care now x x x see also: http://www.jwm-art.net/zen_mtb/
