What More Do We Need?

OK. Just watched ‘chumscrubber’ – a diffusion of teenage angst and dis-connectedness between inter-family relationships. Pill popping culture for avoidance answers, fictional computer characters replacing physical maternal and paternal links etc. Then i thought of camping, the joy of camping – no seriously i can be one in such an experience, my family by my side literally (well at night!), the seasonal clock dictating sleep patterns, the community of fellow campers and the surreal experience of such a community. We share nothing in common but our humanity and ‘hi, are you off today…ok…well take care’. Question to all is, c’mon really what more do you need right now in your life, c’mon what is it? eh eh eh?!?

OK

OK! What a good place to start, okay it sounds like the total antithesis to risk – a board game i was made to play by a mad wizard-like-thing! But OK gets us through most days – at the moment i am neither a cloud nor a stone but a mixture of both slightly near the entering phase of a dream and the coming out of a sleep! OK – a computer generated device for superficial and yet plausible responses to most questions or directives. Are we going the way of V and nanny-state (although i respect most nannies) – OK, should we stick our heads in the political oasis and sing songs about NOT looking back in anger – OK, does viruses spread and rot the land from labortaries -OK. Are you OK, yes i’m OK

Three in One!

What do Derby County, Hitch-hiking and God have in common? The answer is quite simple – lots!!!

All involve an element of mystery, being unsure of what may be around the corner. Simply intrigued by a sense of the ethereal and expecting the unexpected.

They all at the heart involve my passion mechanism working overload and reminding me of the LIFE button which sometimes is pressed and all of reality is infused with new colours and strange vibrations.

The obvious connection is going on a journey; all contain some sense of a starting point and a transient middle and then an end but not one that is final.

Less obvious from some perspectives is the element of risk – risk in emotions, risk in limits and risk in dreaming.

So, what else do you think they have in common?

The Pride

It has taken some time to come down to earth after the premier rise of County.

It seems pretty obvious that money will need to be spent and wisely.

However, not to be too pessimistic but my prediction next year: 14th!!!

The Night Before

I am sure there are many people struggling to lay their head upon the pillow. To close the eyes and be asleep, because we know that the so far anti-climax to the season will be reversed. Our faith will be restored in the beautiful game once the Rams (not sheep) do what they do best! Ba Ba Ba

The Rams

Is there a team that can reflect the tense end to a football season as aptly as Derby County? We know the outcome, though, don’t we??
