all is well on the home front, the rest sent to falkirk/ these days my nightmares occur in their correct place, viz. in my sleep/ we all know how memory cheats us and this was apparent yesterday as i read an old diary/ the autumn or 'fall' always brings a nice fuzzy feeling, it having been my favorite season of the year to score heroin/ the many years i lived in f-p- my route to the spot was across the park, which always looked devastatingly beautiful as the leaves turned/ moreover i find the beauty of scenery more profound as an adjunct to some course of action/ a walk in the park is pleasant but purpose pisses on aimlessnesses (or slender aims) hence the profound impact the autumn weather has on me/ it even overshadows memories such as this - 05.10.05: phoned bank this morning and wept/ parents gave me pounds 1600 four days ago and i have pounds 140 remaining/ this'll keep me well for 2 days, if i'm careful/ tested curtain wire as i may hang myself -/ oh memories...

Hey, hope life is treating you well...I saw that you were influenced by the Germanic period philosophers. Have you read any Heidegger? He is the last one that I've wanted to get to but haven't found the will or the time. Apparently he was deeply influenced by Hegel and Nietzsche.
i am well, thank you. yeah heidegger's pretty decent although i found being and time tough going. any student who says they've read it cover to cover is a filthy liar. i'm also told it's clearer in the original german. yes he was very much influenced by hegel and nietzche. he also worked as a propagandist for hitler, hence the erroneous link people tend to make betwixt adolf and niet. personally i'd stick to hegel and niet. but heidegger did some pretty accessible and excellent work expounding hegel's phenomenology of geist. cheers.
Thanks mate...maybe i'll just dig through a couple excerpts and pretend like i read it all. By the way, i read your profile, and being a musician, ive got to say you've got impecable taste (I hope your not blushing, that would just be awkward). Anyhoo, I read those letters by Burroughs, and a section titled "the invisible generation" from the ticket that exploded...that is some wild shit.
blushing to the roots dahling. thank you so much. funnily enough i'd forgotten my love of jazz as my collection is on vinyl and till yesterday, when i finally purchased a deck, had lain inert for 4 yrs. man, it was so sweet playing adderly, johnny griffin, fats navarro, howard mcghee, art blakey, max roach, charlie parker, diz., monk, mingus (ah um), chet baker, gerry mulligan, clifford brown, ben webser, coleman hawkins, john coltrane, dexter gordon...sorry to go on but even writing the names is like a drug. are you a jazz fan? if not (or even so) i'll compile you a list of artists/tracks that really blow me away. cheers.
Yes! please do, I'm unfamiliar with all of them except coltrane. If you could give me the more accessable ones first that'd be great. I love jazz infused stuff, but ive never been exposed to the proto jazz musik. I've been on a krautrock kick for awhile now and I need something new to listen to. Music IS a drug, and causes chemical alterations whithin the brain (either positive or negative depending on subjective predelections). I'm an addict.
