Thanks for you lovely message. Tessy is even nicer in person than on the page. Matthew too.

look forward to reading more about you and your thoughts over 2010.

Fair enough though.

I mean, I still don’t get any of it. But fair enough.

Don’t worry about the pretension and writing ability. I’m often hesitant to comment after MT or Tessy as I know I can’t play at their level.

I’ve always felt our style is unconsciously influenced by our favourite writers. (Maybe it’s easier to demonstrate in music…)See I used to like a guy called John Henderson, who was completely full of himself and wrote with deliberate obscurity; covertly justifying an aimless and self indulgent method of accidentally stumbling upon an idea instead of beginning with one. After a while I got accused of the same thing, but to be fair I did start spelling connection with an ‘x’.

Cheers, Happy New Year to you too!

p.s. Nice speech your boy made today… Funny how whenever he scrambles around trying hijack terms like ‘progressive’ or ‘fairness’ his eyes move down. Oh, and taking a sip of water every time he thinks he’s made a good point? Guest comedians on Have I Got News For You resort to that one.

Happy New Year all!

Thanks for commenting. I know you want my attention or you’d stop pulling my pony tails.

Re atoms etc read a short history of nearly everything – very approachable. http://www.amazon.com/Short-History-Nearly-Everything/dp/0767908171 – this will explain much. If you got to page 23 to Ulysses, you’ve done better than me, as I’ve never picked it up. In fact, I dropped out of school and in reality, could barely read when I left, much to my shame.

This post picks up on some of Matthews’s points passingly well. But that might be just my opinion.

I guess the concept that ‘we are all one’, is nothing new – Google to find out. When we are made up of cells and atoms, and vibrations etc, what does this mean to us and our consciousness? If space is unlimited / infinite, then in reality the greatest limit in grasping what it is – is us, we humans are profoundly limited.

My point about dark matter, is that like the unconscious, and represents the vastness of what is possible.Dark matter (the current thinking is) that it holds the universe in place and represents 75% + of the shape of gallaxies etc.

I’m sorry if my ramblings occur as a mechanism of tempting you into my (oc)cult or might occur as being pretentious – that’s not my intention, I just love ideas, which are somewhat held back by my inability to write, which being dyslexic is mediocre at best.

Happy New Year Livy

I find reading your posts a bit like wandering around the Tate Modern. That was either the most profound thing I’ve ever read or you made it all up as you went along.

I’m really sorry to appear rude, but point no.1 just baffles me. “We are the universe”, and “all birth and death are ultimately meaningless”?

I feel like I’m being recruited into a religious cult.

I’m stumped. And up until now I’ve always felt fairly proud of reaching page 23 of James Joyce’s Ulysses.

Fair play, I’ve made no constructive contribution to the original post, and it it’s easier to throw rocks at a house that it is to build one. Only I have no clue how to respond to a blog about cultural theory in the context of anti-matter radiation, or whatever it was.
