I am the freak…
sitting doodling
away, rambles
and drawing, an
outlet for creativity,
that just has to be
expressed.
I am the freak, pouring
out idea’s ideas and
thoughts in a rapide fire
burst of energy, that just
must be set down, or…
depressed I will be.
I am the freak, content
to be alone, whilst hating
loneliness and lacking trust,
seeking the company of
others, whilst hating a crowd.
I am The Freak.

A Sense of Worth?
It’s the end of the day, as I begin this. Well, as far as I’m concerned. It’s now Friday, but it’d been Thursday, which had prompted my deliberations.
There’s work being done on the Liverpool loop-line and I had to get a bus from James Street Station to Limes Street. Fair enough. No hassle.
But, in the lift I overheard two black young ladies talking, as you do.
One had been talking of a contract the other should sign, which would bring in £500 pound an hour, for D.J. ‘work.’
Now I’d been on the way to help out on a soup-kitchen, which I’ve worked on now for over ten years and I see more people needing us, not less.
But, that isn’t what gets me.
What gets me is that we don’t make anything in Britain anymore: and everyone below the age of twenty-five seems to think they can be a pop-star, or successful footballer: all without effort, or any real training. I’m referring of course to the age of the quick buck, where everyone can be an instant success, or so Pop Idol would have us believe; either that, or overnight, you will be a millionaire, without any effort, of course, thanks to the lottery. What happened to our society?
Why is it we seem to venerate D.J.’s; popstars and footballers, rather than nurses and shipbuilders and doctors and bricklayers?
Does money, the almighty buck, mean that a popstar has more worth in our society than someone who makes the homes we live in? Or, is a D.J. of more worth in our society, than a nurse, who cares for you and your elderly parents?
I mean, just how on earth does that make sense?

And while I'm on a ramble, what is it about the cult of celebrity?
As soon as a celebity is famous, they seem to think they have an opinion on everything and we allow this. In fact we encourage it.

“Look at it this way
If you could do what I can do,
then you’d do it too
But you can’t, I can;
and I have,
and I’ll do it again.
So you should be happy for me
just a tiny bit, don’t you think?”
Quote: said by Giancomo Casanova, (David Tennant) in
‘Casanova’ BBC Production, Writer – Russell T. Davies.

Wear the colours of
your tribe, be they pink,
purple, or black, just
conform to the norm,
whatever that is
be it straight-head,
punk, emo, or goth.
