I have no idea idea why I am doing this. I have nothing planned, but then again having plans takes the fun out of most things. The whole make it up as I go along is something I do most of the time
There be a great quote that has been linked to Joey the Lips from the movie "The Commitments." Now as far as I know he does not actually say it (in the movie at least, don't know about the book)-at least I have an excuse to watch the movie again (if only to see and hear the lovely Maria Doyle-Kennedy again). Like Captain Kirk never said "Beam us up Scottie, we're in a spot of bother down here." and Macbeth never said "You dirty rat."
ANY WAYS the quote is "Glorious failure is better than doing nothing. At least you tried." From experience I know this is true. Thirty years ago I took a career break and headed off to London to seek a new career and life. Hated it -too loud,fast and dirty. OK there was a good pub round the corner from the flat i was was sharing. Made a bad choice in temporary work and was told other ones I should of tried when I got back home. Could not get on with the somewhat schizophrenic person I was sharing with. And the French doll I opened up my feelings to on that holiday. Both disastrous -but if if didn't do them I would still be asking myself "what if..."
Still too lazy to spell check this-have new laptop and can't find it yet. Think I have now-but still too lazy to re-read.
The new house is slowly falling in to shape just minor things to do now-like decorating-a painting job, or something. A couple of savings accounts to get sorted. I want one to get ready for annual bills like house and car insurance,tv license, and money aside for repairs. I want to have my usual holiday saving fund too,
This year, as well as my usual holiday cycling in Ireland I want to do at least one big holiday. A coach trip. Two come to mind so far. One that takes in Route 66 and another that does Nashville,Memphis, New Orleans and the like-the whole music thing.
And now a dilema-some of my very favourite films are directed/star Woody Allen-and I have some on DVD. The man is apparently a monster and molester. I deplore this sort of crime.Once a singer that I liked was found guilty (with no doubt) of this crime and I binned the records and cds i had of his. Not many to be honest-and I still think one song he did is still a very good song (thankfully i have a cover version of same song done by a group i still like.)
Sooo should I dump my Woody Allen collection? I mean what if YOUR favourite singer was found guilty of some hideous paeodfile crime? What if the same happened to a fav movie star/director-What would YOU do?
