And I am listening to the voice, intently...<BR/><BR/>Dearest Mentok: Only a bit too early - I remember the hair & trousers... ;-)<BR/><BR/>Dearest Tim: Better Robert Elms than a banker.<BR/><BR/>Dear Sean - do listen to it carefully...<BR/><BR/>Dearest Merz, try to enjoy the path. I'm not sure I'm ever going to figure it out, so the focus turns to the journey...<BR/><BR/>Dearest Marcy: Yes, I think I'm on the same path. Stepping into the same shit. But it's all good shit... :-)<BR/><BR/>Dearest Crash: Amen on both counts!!<BR/><BR/>Dearest JC: *Face goes beet red* Ah, you have rumbled me. Curse you, o villainous Caledonian. And Milltown Borothers may be close, but...<BR/><BR/>...I think the 'name that band' prize goes to you, Dearest Colin! Hipsway it is! What a collection of Honey Thieves we are. And as for the voice...<BR/><BR/>Yes, one should always listen. And try to figure out why it is shouting. It seems like you've chosen to act on yours - good luck, & godspeed...<BR/><BR/>A variation on the live deliberately theme: "Vivre sans temps mort - live without dead time."<BR/><BR/>Thank you all for your kind comments, and apologies for my tardiness in replying...FiLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06744819120424789247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25690029.post-65094462771060392232007-03-12T22:25:00.000-07:002007-03-12T22:25:00.000-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Mentokhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07011803235817936664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25690029.post-22647159298820974312007-03-09T18:38:00.000-08:002007-03-09T18:38:00.000-08:00Robert Elms!!!I *totally* see that Tim :)And my ph...Robert Elms!!!<BR/><BR/>I *totally* see that Tim :)<BR/><BR/>And my photo-suggestion for 'remember this band?' would be Hipsway (on a bad quiff day, I admit)<BR/><BR/>FiL... occasionally it pays *not* to listen to that voice, but mostly it does. It's shouting out for a good reason, normally (other times it's just fucking starting...). <BR/><BR/>If it gets to the point where you are hearing it often enough, on a day-to-day basis, then some kind of action is required... (in my case it involves applying for new jobs and getting an interview... not a radical career change by any means etc but just something saying 'time to move on' (feel free to sing the theme tune to 'the littlest hobo' at this point)<BR/><BR/>And, as Crash put it, live deliberately (but also with an edge of carelessness and gay abandon). <BR/><BR/>And don't, whatever you do, let a good thing go. Keep it close.Colinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13802978635513863991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25690029.post-66763379172657665612007-03-07T07:29:00.000-08:002007-03-07T07:29:00.000-08:00A tremendous tale.

Crash is spot on with the caption suggestion. I'd have offered something like The Milltown Brothers, Hurrah or some other 80s one-hit guitar band wonders.JChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05090608248723528292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25690029.post-37440993408187493822007-03-07T00:26:00.000-08:002007-03-07T00:26:00.000-08:00If you'd captioned this as a photo competition 'do...If you'd captioned this as a photo competition 'do you rememeber this band' you might have got some interesting answers.<BR/><BR/>Live deliberately, FiL.<BR/>xadamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15888729008604147070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25690029.post-62408906190954537342007-03-06T17:15:00.000-08:002007-03-06T17:15:00.000-08:00i thought you were either the guy on the left or t...i thought you were either the guy on the left or the one in the way back, with just a smidge of face showing.<BR/><BR/>ah, fil. i'm inclined to agree with merz, in that i'm not sure i'll ever get to the place where i can say--by god, i think i've got it all figured out! i suppose i need to be more zen about it and think, "it is in the process that i am most fully alive"--or some shit like that! ;-)mjrchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11320335450656089445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25690029.post-188696112729464902007-03-06T15:54:00.000-08:002007-03-06T15:54:00.000-08:00Nice write Fil!
