The Allies

"BANGKOK: 'Are you scared?' The crowd roared back: 'We're not scared!' Speculation that the military stage a coup were further fueled by press reports Thursday tank movements that the military later said were only a training exercise."
Rene in China, she's lovely, well educated: she informs me Tibet is a province in China, and this has always been the case. The sky is red, the sky is red the sky is red the sky is red the sky is red. The sky is blue, don't be silly the sky is red. Light graffiti technique let loose in the far east, get snapin' Rene

Empty pocket, empty mind

For the most part Beijing people have very little material possessions in comparison with english people, for the most part they seem all the better for it. those without are not lusting for something, those with, are not lusting for even more. nobody takes drugs and few people drink alcohol and nobody is left wanting. dotted round most residential areas are exercise machines for stretching exercise to improve health and it's not unfamiliar to see 60year old women with their leg up stretching above waist level ("im too old for that!" just ain't cutting it folks.) right here and now in this place; an empty pocket, an empty mind. absense of thought is a blessing that many philosophers strive for and animals have by default.

RIPg4

Its been round the world, been dropped, scratched then laughed in the face of any demands stuffed in its face. its brought hope and happiness to the world and been a fantastic machine, as a paintbrush, it would have touched up Mona Lisa, as a chisel, given The David a facelift, but now my powerbookG4 is unrepairable. So, looks like no gigs, photos or video for a while, and sorry Kim, no photos for a month maybe, cos they're stored on the HD that's inaccessible.
