Heroes
I looked for my self, but my self was gone.
The boundaries of my being had disappeared in the sea.
Waves broke. Awareness rose again,
And a voice returned me to myself
It always happens like this.
Sea turns on itself and foams.
And with every foaming bit, another body, another being takes form.
And when the sea sends word, each foaming body melts back to ocean-breath."
I have been reliably informed that I was conceived unexpectedly somewhere among the rows of trees in Norwood Park and born eight months later in Crystal Palace, South London. My parents were just 16 and 18 at the time and were part of the Rocker sub-culture. They had met at a popular biker cafe in Norwood High Street. My father had a Triumph motorbike and our first home was a rented room in a large house next door to Christ Church at the top end of Gipsy Hill (Upper Norwood). My father was only paid £6 a week and my parents were so desperately poor that they hardly had anything left to eat after paying their £4 rent. My father even had to wear plastic bags on his feet when it rained, because he had holes in his shoes and couldn't afford a new pair. Hard times for a teenage couple. We then lived at a rented property in Thornlaw Road in West Norwood, before moving to a council tower block on the Studley Estate (directly behind Stockwell tube station in Binfield Road) and from there to the Central Hill Estate back at Crystal Palace. When I was six I got knocked down by a car and ended up with a fractured skull. And if that wasn't bad enough, my younger sister and I were driven around in a lime-green Hillman Imp. Such was the rampant child abuse of the 1970s. But some of my happiest memories include the times spent paddling in Norwood Park, walking on Clapham Common, going to the pictures on saturday mornings at the Brixton Astoria, playing on the swings in Sydenham Wells and climbing onto the dinosaur island in Crystal Palace Park. I spent my teenage years in the East Sussex village of Jarvis Brook, near Crowborough, before moving back to South London. We had a half-buried pillbox in the back garden, which had been used to defend the nearby railway line from German attacks during the Second World War. My mother's side of the family all originate from the Palace area and are related to Sir Christopher Wren (1632-1723), the famous architect and inventor. My father's side hail from nearby East Dulwich and West Norwood and are proud descendants of the Clan Maclean (Motto: 'Virtue Mine Honour'), who still have their ancient seat at Duart Castle in the Western Isles of Scotland. The Christian mystic, St. Columba, was a Maclean and so were the last two abbesses at the monastery on the island of Iona, where traditional Celtic Christianity once held out against the liturgical imperialism of Papal Rome. Maclean, in the original Gaelic, means 'son of the servant of St. John' and my great-great-grandfather, Hay Gowans Grant McLean, lived in Banffshire (Moray) in the very far north of Scotland, where the Cruithne folk (Picts) had settled between 700 and 500 BCE and Malcolm II later defeated the Danish Vikings in 1014. Prior to that his father and my great-great-great grandfather, Francis McLean (b.1810), was an agricultural scholar who came from the tiny highland village of Rothes beside the River Spey. This is also in Banffshire and home to no less than five whisky distilleries, so obviously a very sensible place to live. My great-great-great grandmother was Isabella McLean (b.1811) from the nearby village of Old Deer near Peterhead (Aberdeenshire). After the sixteenth-century Reformation, the Scots in that area remained Catholic and suffered heavily for their resistance. Isabella McLean (who had a daughter of the same name) was probably named after Queen Isabella of Castile, who expelled the Jews and Muslims from Catholic Spain. During the bitter struggle against the English in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, the Banffshire Scots first opposed William of Orange and then went on to become defiant Royalists in the cause of Bonnie Prince Charlie. A great many Macleans died in the ensuing battles, perishing in the English-led massacres at Glencoe (February 1692) and Culloden Moor (April 1746). Others lost their lands in the bitter years of the Highland Clearances. But it was to be Hay McLean and his wife, Elizabeth Gilmour, who eventually moved down to Change Alley (now Dunkirk Street) in Norwood and my family as a whole has lived in the same area for at least eight generations. My grandfather, Francis Southgate (1925-2008) was in the Home Guard and then went on to become an amateur boxer in the Royal Navy. As a boy he used to follow non-league side Dulwich Hamlet and then went on to support Palace's arch-rivals, Millwall, so putting up with all the endless banter that came with it probably helped to sharpen my wits. Finally, my grandfather on my mother's side was Edward Price who, in the mid- to late-1940s, lived directly opposite the Crystal Palace itself in Farquhar Road and therefore we have some Welsh blood in the family. The name Price comes from 'ap Rhys', meaning 'son of Rhys'. My mother's line also runs all the way back to the owners of the now-defunct Bull Brewery in New Zealand and, perhaps less glamorously, to the grim confines of St. Luke's workhouse.

You scored as Friedrich Nietzsche. Well you're an egotistical maniac, and you are so very iconoclastic that you probably are currently lost in a post-modern Jupiter, I mean jungle of self-definition.
Don't let it get you down though, someday, through a willful onslaught of reinterpretation of dated forms and ideas, you will strike on something that passes as remotely new, and people WILL be into it on the basis of how hip it is alone. Also, the average espresso drinker looks up to you.
You scored as Martin Heidegger. You are Martin Heidegger. You are a very wordy person that believes we classify objects by their function, and that community is essential. Once we are in a community, then it is possible for us to differentiate ourselves.
You scored as Cultural Creative. Cultural Creatives are probably the newest group to enter this realm. You are a modern thinker who tends to shy away from organized religion but still feels as if there is something greater than ourselves. You are very spiritual, even if you are not religious. Life has a meaning outside of the rational.
Zeus- Greek God and
Ruler of the Olympian Pantheon
the ruler of Mount Olympus, and god of the sky and thunder, in Greek mythology. His symbols are the thunderbolt, eagle, bull and the oak.
The meanings for the Sun are fairly simple and consistent.
Young, healthy, new, fresh. The brain is working, things that were muddled come clear, everything falls into place, and everything seems to go your way.
The Sun is ruled by the Sun, of course. This is the light that comes after the long dark night, Apollo to the Moon's Diana. A positive card, it promises you your day in the sun. Glory, gain, triumph, pleasure, truth, success. As the moon symbolized inspiration from the unconscious, from dreams, this card symbolizes discoveries made fully consciousness and wide awake. You have an understanding and enjoyment of science and math, beautifully constructed music, carefully reasoned philosophy. It is a card of intellect, clarity of mind, and feelings of youthful energy.
