Oh, Canadia
Man, I want to live in Canada!
Everyone there is like an intellectual indie who likes hockey and being awesome. They hang out in libraries, eating Chinese food and discussing capitalism, coming up with ways to change the world. Then they go oot fer a brewski, eh. Then the next day they start out with the world's best bacon and go out to shoot large herbivores! Wow.
See? Posts made without the presence of daylight are much less good

Gorillaz, Lent, and self-referencing
Well here is a novel idea that I actually hadn't considered: Do the blog in the daytime when the brain is in the worktime. I admit that it seems to be failing as far as content is concerned, but my writing is of much better quality when I can think.
Speaking of thinking and blog quality, I think that if I had more readers I would have more to write about, by dint of reader comments providing me with something to bounce off of. Unfortunately, to get more readers I probably need to up the quality and quantity of posts. Conundrum! Apart from relationships (as in friends and God, not Lovely Ladies [unfortunately(?)].), I haven't really suck with any one thing this long. Which seems a) worrying and b) possibly hopeful. But you should feel privileged, those who I will label M, K, Rare T and Even Rarer T - I have actually given time and brainpower to amusing and informing you.
Lent is going interestingly... I wrote the chorus of a song and the verse to two others - I think that the chorus has real potential, as does the first of the verses, but the 2nd less so - without any other accompaniment than than a kicktrack. I am massively missing mewzark, especially as the new Gorillaz album came out the other day, and is avaliable for free listening on their site. Knowing my luck, the next U2 album will come out next week, or someone will buy me the Dylan anthology...
On the subject of Gorillaz, I recently read an interview on the guardian website with Kano and Bashy, two English grime rappers, on their collaborative work with the band.What I found amazing was the statement that Damon Albarn (of: Blur; Mali Music; Good, Bad, and the Queen; Monkey: Journey to the West and Gorillaz) is all about music, all of the time - whatever he's doing, he's thinking about or relating it to music. I want to be like that! Well, that with the addition of God.
I do believe that that will do

Quindecimmensial celebrations
I always say to myself, "oh I'll just go through the ol' webcomics, that won't take long at all" but then it totally does. Especially when I stop to blog about it. This seems to happen to me a lot, for egg, when reading a book ("next chapter"), watching afilm ("next scene"), etc. then it takes ages to reach the end of the thingumy, and more time has passed than I had time for. Or some such.
IN OTHER NEWS:
I have now been blogging for 15 months. This is the 2nd landmark I have celebrated since Them Crazy Days of Post Number 11. Hurrah! I declare a national holiday.
Post number 11? Post 9/11?
Byeeee

Look at them yo-yos...
Day 7 of the life without music.
"I want my MTVeeeeeeee!"
Though I don't'n't, cos MTV is bupkis with crapola to spare.
What I do want is U2 and Gorillaz, the 2 best bands ever. I especially want to listen to "Stories For Boys", for some reason - a reason other than it being a fab-u-licious track, that is.
Forgive me, I haven't slept.
I like God. Do you like God? Send your answer and your reasons why to the comments box below, and you could win a personalised poem, by me, SamfiSh. SamuelbeckettfiSh? Muuuch too long. SamueltaylorcoleridgefiSh? See above.
I made an ambigram of the Tetragrammaton! Yay me. I may draw it in paint and the post it to y'all.
Good morrow, fair interwenches and netknaves!

Dreams
...can come true! Believe it, you lovely internet people. Can I get an amen?
Exactly...
Encounter weekend went well - very well. Better than well, in fact - I'd say bloody well marvelous!
Revival is in the air! God is in a good mood! The lost are returning!
-
As the release of Plastic Beach get closer, i find my self expecting disappointment. I expect wonders and marvels from Mr Albarn, but I fear the 3rd masterpiece won't be one...
-
I challenge you, denizens of the Land of Web, to do something outside the box. Which box is up to you - yours, your parents', your friends', society's....
