Dear Friends,
"Mists of Time" is about finished, which means it's that hour for "Castles" on the Still Frame Photo Channel in HD. After "Castles" there's a viewers' submission hour. Thrilling. What a job that would be - a photographer for the Still Frame Photo Channel in HD. I've been waiting for "Castles" since 1.30. The idea of living in a castle has always filled me with whimsical escapist dreams. It's absolutely got me transfixed. A neat garden walk and my own round turret reaching up towards the sky. That's all I wanted when I went to Europe.
They've just shown the castle at Dubrovnik as viewed from the walled old town. Hey I've been there.
Only sops like me watch this shit.
Lately I've only wanted to escape. From what exactly, has, funnily, escaped me. So what I've concluded is that the 'what' is myself. Because as much as I hate to admit that my parents are right, escaping to somewhere that isn't here won't help me escape from my problems if my problems are me. Alls I know is that it would be a hell of a lot more fucking fun than this, somewhere else. And my problems may be easier to have at.
Hey I've been to Bratislava, too.
Escapism aside, the only other thing of interest I've experienced to report is that last night, instead of tuning in to FRAMEHD 230, I dressed up in wool and went for a night walk. Other than cold, it was odd. I never strayed out of the neighbourhood where I live, but all of the houses I'm used to viewing in daylight looked rigor-mortis-y and dead with their darkened windows. It was as if I could peer into the houses' souls through their window-eyes. (Hey I've been to Trakai in Lithuania, too). Approximately 10% of them had a night owl in there watching TV or surfing the interwebs at 2am.
It was once said to me that "a man's house (or home I can't remember the exact quote), is his castle". Does that mean when we grow up and buy houses with the intention of making homes, our whimsical escapist dreams will automatically be realised, fully equipped with pool rooms and master-turrets for bedrooms? Or is that just me being a dickhead.
It looks as if I'll need a more impressive camera and a professional version of Photoshop to chance a spot on Viewers' Submission Photos in HD.
"Let's pretend we don't exist. Let's pretend we're in Antarctica."
I love reading your blogs for inspiration and just getting me to go deep into thought.
