-Well I promised and here I am.One read finishes and another begins.......
''THE TECHNO PAGAN OCTOPUS MESSIAH''.......By Ian Winn.
Its about a Bizzarre journey....A travelogue.I would imagine some of it is fiction.But it is supposedly ,mostly about true experiences...
Disguised as a tourist,IAN WINN,goes to crazy places,where the mind plays tricks,mostly induced my chemicals....TRIPS,of one sort or another result in in meeting some strange people,going to insane places,some dangerous.....with frightening results.most of the time....
A Kaleidoscope of a book....An amazing journey.

A bloody good book,with a lot of subjects that are close to my heart.It covers the trials ,when ARTHUR PENDRAGON,gets in to scrapes with the law usually.And bit of a biography of he's life,upbringing...the hardships he has had to deal with,that makes him the person he is.....
Just started reading,WIZARD AND GLASS,by STEPHEN KING...
Its one of the parts of the never ending trilogy of ''THE DARK TOWER''....Wizards and Demons galore !!

DJ WEIRDITUDE Hoping that this damned fake holiday season passes buy soon . . . SOLSTICE BLESSINGS all PAGANS and HEATHENS. Bless you all x Posted at 1:59 PM Dec 24, 2009 view more
About me: Hi all...what do you wanna know..??
Well,I am as it says somewhere here I am at present 42 years of age.I still party relatively hard,and I dont plan slowing down, just yet.Whether it be gigging or partying at some all nighter,Im usually somewhere.....
Bit of a night owl,me.I am only at my best when the suns gone down....
I do a bit of DJING,transforming myself in to DJ WEIRDITUDE.I run a not so regular night/club/venue....at a PUB in CRYSTAL PALACE.The Evening is called ''BEGIN WITH SIMPLICITY''.Why call it that you ask...Well,because it is,always the best way to start,and then you can iron out the mistakes and problems,while still being in some kind of control....[This alas,has come to a bit of a rest period..err,due to a problem with the venue/landlords way of running tings]...SORRY !!But watch this space,we will be somewhere,somehow,soon...IRIE
What do I play...Well,I love my BASS DRIVEN,Progressive Breakbeats,and Electro..NEW SCHOOL,and OLD SCHOOL......
But on my CLUB NIGHT,Ting' I spin old and new DUB /ROOTS and Old Classic Reggae....
Up until mid way through 2006,I worked for the music industry.Not quite as interesting as it sounds as I was just involved with the distribution end of stuff.....Thats arranging huge ammounts of orders of new release cd's and vinyl,sorting out transportation,and all the lugging stuff about and shipping the goodies off to the stores...I did get some great Freebies,Bargains,and Discounted Purchases.... so,I cant moan too much...I handled some good stuff.A lot of the core,Independant music....
BUT...Yes,the big But... I handed my notice in and became a GARDENER..in MAY 2006..
.....My love of everything natural and the calling to crawl around in the dirt,with the plants and creepy crawlies,Was just too strong to ignore.So I do that now.In my real job,and my private jobs..I GARDEN.And when Im not GARDENING,I do the voluntary CONSERVATION WORK ,ting'.....creating habitats,for da' animals.Caring for and planting tree's,and generally making environments better for people to stroll around.....See I told you I was a caring sort of fella' !!
I live with my partner of 11 years,and plan a wedding soon...well,in the next one/two years...Just confirmed after years of waiting,2009.is the year!!
Its gonna be a PAGAN affair,as we both bow down to the ways of nature.Not worship ,just acknowledge NATURE,THE SEASONS,......Lifes cycle which we ,along with all living things are a part of....
I love nothing more than to spend an afternoon,at a place of sacred importance.STANDING STONES,STONE CIRCLES,or an ANCIENT WOOD/FOREST....
Whats my personality.....Have I got one,well some would dissagree,but.......,I reckon I'm a decent sort of bloke.I do my best,at being approachable,but I can be a bit moody,so watch out....I'm a bit selfish ,sometimes...but who isnt....I believe we should all have an element of selfishness,as we must all keep something back for ourselves.....It doesnt mean we should be any less generous.My heart is full of love.My head is full of thought......I probably think too much. I am of reasonable intelligence.Love reading..Cant fill your head up with new stuff,if you cant read,eh...??
What do I look like,well I'm not one to speculate,on how others see me....
I'm just under 6ft tall.....I've got hair, .I've got a face....I dress in clothes for comfort,not for fashion.....Cant stand shallow people who dress to impress..!! You take me as you find me.....BOOTS,JEANS,T-SHIRTS,JACKETS....Thats me !!..I might even comb my hair for yo'...!!
I can do smart though ,if the need arises..... HONEST....!!
I treat all who cross my path, the same as I would intend to be treated....
Dont judge me.I only give my hand in kindness......
''Give in kindness,and I will recieve in kindness''.....!!
-PEACE,and BLESSINGS to you all.....
May the Guardians of good fortune for ever walk ,close at your side....xx Z
Who I'd like to meet: GOD...Then I could shake him by the hand,and tell him,I'm sorry for disbelieving all these years....!!
AS IF THATS GONNA HAPPEN....!!
