Waxing Lyrical.

Saturday morning. and who's gonna play with me. it's six in the morning. I gotta long day ahead of me. Forgive me if I misquote a lyric or two from time to time, but you'll just have to deal with it. But it is saturday morning, oh no wait. it's afternoon. Crap. this is getting less and less legitimate as I go. Though I am alone at the moment, not that it's a problem today. This is Brisbane. These are holidays. And this is someone who finds it much easier to live zen when they are on holidays. Y'know, you should never under estimate the potential of existential insight in the lyrics of pop music. Take massive chances with your life. That's what Madonna said to me. Travelling down this road, watching the signs as I go, I think I'll follow the sun, isn't everyone just travelling down their own road watching the signs as they go, I think I'll follow my heart, it's a very good place to start. It may not be poetry or brilliant, unique insight into the human condition. But it convinced me that moving to the other planet that is western australia is a good idea. Possibly more importantly, it continues to convince me that I can, not should, but can stay there. At least for the times being.

Happy Freakin Birthday Madonna. You've done more for me than any philosopher, poet or self help manual could ever do. Thankyou.
