It’s really weird but my parents used to tell me I could do anything I wanted to. I used to say, ‘Well, what if I want to be an astronaut and go to the moon?” and my dad used to say, ‘If you really want to you can’.

I used to think he was talking absolute rubbish, particularly when I was 21 and he was still saying that. But in a way it really stuck with me cos my dad ended up doing exactly what he wanted to do. To an outside point of view he’s totally conformed, he’s had a family and four kids but he’s only ever done things that made him genuinely happy. “He jacked in his job cos it made him unhappy and he didn’t want to compromise his entire life just for the sake of carrying it through.

It’s very admirable, that quality, and I think it’s very rare in people. Most people feel so conditioned, so oppressed by everything that goes on around them that they just give in. You have to refuse to give in.

From friend’s Damien & Kim’s Wedding May 18th Don’t they look great? Was really happy to see a few people I don’t see often enough. I also couldn’t help thinking how much the charming & professional wedding official reminded me of Paulie from the Rocky films (Happy Birthday Paulie).

I played music for a playback (improv) theatre group. He has always been the older wiseman of the group & he and a few others that were there (or should’ve been but couldn’t make it) are some of the more influential, memorable (and at times frustrating, me too) I’ve had the privilege to meet.

There’s me second from bottom and Kate in her fashionably mismatched lady beetle shoes. These aren’t the best photos I could have put up of us, though I looked just as awkward in my graduation photos. School and Uni

It’s been such a sighing symphony misery fest, and I feel so physically awful that right now I find it funny. Could they make me any more aware that the weekend is over and it’s now Monday?

The most brutal depression I’ve had is after I’ve solved a particular problem. And everything seems to fucking stay the same.
After being unemployed for so long, or single for so long & it plaguing every thing I do…naturally my psyche assumes that when I can pay my way or find somebody that matters, naturally„„things are going to pick up.
It’s about balance…and whatever that is, I haven’t found it

archiemcphee:

These awesome photos, in which rolling waves appear to be both perfectly frozen in time and miraculously made solid, are the work of French photographer Pierre Carreau.

Carreau “shoots waves with a variety of high speed cameras using various macro and wide angle lenses, capturing water shapes that appear more sculptural than liquid.”

Visit his Pierre Carreau’s website to view many more examples of his amazing work. He also offers prints of some of his images via Clic Gallery.

Dear Tumblrfolk

I have had one hell of a hell week at work. I had a pretty shocking moment of me editing my own poems / lyric drafts / thoughts at work inbetween working very hard…My second in charge boss printed it out, as it’s available on the network while I’m working on it & brought it to me and asked why I’m doing this in worktime. I was shocked speechless. I said I don’t write here, I just edit which is the same as others emailing their friends , & reading the news & all the other shit they do to keep them sane with the extreme repetition & unpleasantness of what we do (I do Medical Records for a Prison).

I feel really singled out because many others are worse with what they do in worktime & anyway, how much of an invasion of privacy is that?! The others however, are largely extended family members, long-time friends…etc

I’ve been furiously looking for another job in whatever spare time I have & extremely depressed & angry with various bullshit. Especially with busybody women I work with.

I have had hardly any time to talk here; among busy-ness and wretched troubles, the lovely Kate requires plenty of my time but know… I do get to read a fair bit of what you say here. It’s great. Like an extended distant family. You don’t know how much the stuff you say matters but it does

Walking down a wading stream

A dream stream listless daydream

Somebody beside me but not when I turn around

Just a shadow only me

The lonely years may have only just started

It’s like I lived a thousand years these last few weeks

An age of copy echolalia repetition steal pirate wheel

You wouldn’t dare say anything you really feel

The only way to know her is to talk to her

If you read what she says you’ll think she’s insane

And nothing but vitriol and the want to impress

And an argument in distress

Snappped out of your unconscious spell

Just before it turned to hell and hey look here’s reality

A spell over you a spellbreaker for me

We walked along a wading stream

The clouds looked poisonous and their metallic taste

Remembered before you could no longer get that high

No more goodbyes too busy we just slip away

Drifting along in the responsibilities

The worthiness of the rhythm

In the stick beats one two three

The clanging of the guitar strings

The clang and chime of the mandolin strings

This is the closest I can get to when my spirit sings

When I let out a vitriol stream

A rudely interrupted daydream

A silent scream

Scared of appearing scary

The poems are long and winding and wide

But when I get a chance to write there’s nothing left inside

Inside I’m empty barren and angry

Bitter with the broken promise of the today and tomorrow in front of me

For so long I could feel somebody beside me

My muse took leave went wondering didn’t leave a note

My bottle not running out the long last hope

The empathy pains and the aching lack

The standing still and no way back

The endless year long days

The hell week reality war

The weekend drink conversations

Too happy or too sad

Too heavy too futile Too shallow

Too meaningless

Too for show

Too long

Too short

Too thin

Too fat

Too poor

Not popular enough

Not Good enough

Etceteracide

Heterocide Sexual boredom

Over saturation

Missing love where love is missing

The cars greet the waking street as the wiz by and the sprinklers hissing

I don’t feel like there’s a thing I’m missing

Seeking soul surgery

Dream stream tag team

Put your heads and hands together

Pick up your guitar and walk

Responses responsibilities

Juggling juggalo juggle me

Heads down word up

Chime dime

Out there alone in the elements

Nobody to clue me in to the suspense

The viewer knows what the actor does not

I tried to tell you but now I forget

Take a beeline to the veeline

Record my waiting thoughts

Strings and wood

Bad and the good

Lord rid us of the mediocre in-betweens

Pack it up and work it out

Work it out and shout it out

Put some light in where the sun went out

Hey could you do that?

Live out the worst take in the best with me

Hey could you do that?

Any excuse too obtuse you would refuse

You know just what to believe

Hey could you do that?

Do my penance do my time

I can come home you’ll be there when I arrive

Hey could you do that?

Loyal joy glue in my shoe

Whatever I do for you you will do for me too?

Hey could you do that?

Stirring up memory and desire

Make a beeline for the veeline

Take a branch in another direction

But

But to calm your spirit down

To set your spirit free

Strangled like a pin cushion

Breaking of the pins

Needles and pins

But to calm your spirit down

To slow the rate of your heart

To end up somewhere in the middle

To be glad to depart

But to hold you when you need it

To leave you alone when you don’t

I wish we could be decent enough people to be kind and helpful to each other without any catastrophic tragedy to set it in motion.
A little more often.
Still, it doesn’t take me too long to find someone who feels just like I do.
Empathy goes a long way. And it’s a pretty sharp blade against the relentless pessimism, cynicism and apathy ever present in any action I or so many others take.
I’m glad sometimes when I’m too run down to go into detail.
