been a while

so it has.
a long, long time. the beard grows curly, the toenails harden, the eyes wrinkle ever more.
yet here we are again, re-convening, catching up.
i have a job now, i am a grown-up person. i have responsibilities. i get up in the mornings. i drink coffee all day. i have expensive lunches. i buy cereals twice the price i did two months ago. i can buy conditioner as well as shampoo now, though i rarely use either.
and i use my brain at work. and i have challenges. and people are impressed by my efforts. sometimes at least.and it's about something. i know i'm not saving the world or curing cancer but i'm into something. i'm learning. it's useful, and will be more useful.
and sometimes i'm still dj'ing. played last thursday but i was on the graveyard shift of dj's, 9-11 in a nightclub. no one was there, practically. and then some breakdancers came in so no one went on the dancefloor, partly in shame, partly in fear of being kicked in the head by someone doing a windmill. later on alex gopher came in. it got better. i think these guys must find it a bit weird when they come to stockholm and the dancefloor is half-empty whilst everyone hovers around the bar. if you're used to playing in france and england and those sorts of places it must be a bit weird to see so many people not giving a toss, other than wanting to say they'd been there.
what do i know?
so what else is new? i've been ostracised by my brothers. and i'm not the only one. they're into a movement, which i won't name here, but which certainly doesn't seem to be spreading much harmony in the wider world.
i don't get it.
what else? i recently saw, for the third time, i think, Bring Me The Head Of Alfredo Garcia. One of my all-time favourite movies. To which i was introduced by my older brother, before he got religious and stopped talking to me.
I've been listening to bowie's 'low' album. absolutely f@+_ing incredible music. rediscovered that. bit of neil young, happy mondays, francoise hardy, etc.
football- liverpool 2-0 chelsea. that's all she wrote.
shall i be shallow and talk about vain things like what after shave i'm wearing? paul smith, is nice, i like, high-five.

well, that's all for now i guess.

stay beautiful, people.
