There is a pleasure in the pathless woods; There is a rapture on the lonely shore; There is society, where none intrudes, by the deep sea, and the music in its roar; I love not the man the less, but Nature more... -Lord Byron More and more, my heart is turning to this direction. Solitude, quiet, nature. Every day I struggle more and more with city life, and my 'personal action plan' will hopefully get me one step closer to my goal.... This quote is the intro to a fantastic movie, "Into The Wild"... Such a good movie, and based on actual events. A guy just has enough and decides to trek out to the furthest wilds.... inspiring! Also Eddie Vedder, my personal musical hero, does all the music....

New Stuff
I've been away much too long. There have been all sorts of new stuff to fully occupy my magpie like attention though...

Brother seems to be doing excellent in his life, wont give details as its not my story to tell, but life is giving him some good things, and Im happy for him. I'll keep this one sho...
Songs Stuck In Your Head...
Ok, so it's happened to us all at some point or another, and for some of us, it happens quite a bit more than others... So we can all relate to the obsessiveness of trying to release the music locked in your brain.... The Worst...the absolute worst... has been a song stuck in my mind for 20 years. ... ... ... Yes, you read that right. I remembered the chorus and the song title but not even the glory of the 'inertweb' (Its spelled right, trust me) could unlock the secrets stuck inside of me. All I really remembered about it was that it was about child abuse, it was canadian, and I was watching the video with my best mate (Who subsequently bailed my ass out of this quandray last night), and thats all I had.. but now and then, at random times this song, specifically the chorus, would inevitably roll back into my head and torment me for a day or two, or a week.. or a month. Its happened. More than once. So maybe you understand my complete focus ...
