Here I am again...

Here I am again...

Hello

Well I'm back online again. It seems that at the minute I'm spending quite a bit of time on my own, averaging contact with the outside world about once a day. Truth is I'm enjoying it that way. I really have no desire for contact with actual people. Even when i'm online i'm not seeking to chat with people...just sending off emails or posts where I don't have to respond unless I feel like it.

I suppose some people would think that is a sad way to live. I have at least one friend that struggles to get used to just his own company. It's much easier for me as I grew up spending large chunks of time on my own. Trick didn't enjoy it quite as much as me, and could often be found standing in my doorway on the weekend waiting for me to talk to him. I admit to torturing him a bit, by making him wait until I was ready to talk. At the time it seemed a perfectly reasonable thing to do as an older sister.

It's peaceful, no demands and I actually feel well rested. I haven't felt like this in ages. Is it selfish? I feel a little guilty that the rest of the world is out there working and dealing with each other. Are other people happy doing that? Are you happy doing that? If you're not, then why aren't you doing something about it? Wouldn't Utopia be nice? I think of a world where we're not destroying the planet or living beyond our means. We help each other out, but are basically self sufficient. Stripped back to the bare essentials. LOL what are the bare essentials these days?

I saw a thing on the future of building in cities...it suggested that inbetween every floor in apartment buildings we grow our own fruit and vegetables. It makes perfect sense to me. We can be reusing our grey water on the spot instead of sending it out to be treated and then piped to agricultural areas. Oh if you're interested in sustainable living et al. check this site out Buckminster Fuller Institute, in fact reading anything about Bucky is good. He really was a forethinker.




Now I want to share with you the Lyrics to one of my favourite songs.
Mad World
Gary Jules (cover of Tears for Fears)

All around me are familiar faces
Worn out places, worn out faces
Bright and early for their daily races
Going nowhere, going nowhere
Their tears are filling up their glasses
No expression, no expression
Hide my head I want to drown my sorrow
No tomorrow, no tomorrow
And I find it kind of funny
I find it kind of sad
The dreams in which I'm dying
Are the best I've ever had
I find it hard to tell you
I find it hard to take
When people run in circles
It's a very, very
Mad World
Mad world


Children waiting for the day they feel good
Happy Birthday, Happy Birthday
And I feel the way that every child should
Sit and listen, sit and listen
Went to school and I was very nervous
No one knew me, no one knew me
Hello teacher tell me what's my lesson
Look right through me, look right through me
And I find it kind of funny
I find it kind of sad
The dreams in which I'm dying
Are the best I've ever had
I find it hard to tell you
I find it hard to take
When people run in circles
It's a very, very
Mad World
Mad World
Enlarging your world
Mad World.
