Alewyn, my pixel pal, my binary buddy, you do speak a lot of sense.
yes it's true.
no one wants to listen or read stories. no one wants to sit outside and watch the people walking by and picking up strands of their conversation. they all have their ipods and mp3 players and cell phones. the real world isn't good enough anymore. living in the moment is useless when you can live in your music, or talk to a friend non stop. no one wants to stop and listen and watch. no one cares for a story anymore.
I do.
being in the here and now is very important. The thing is, it takes effort, concentration, energy. It would seem that a lot of people just can't be asked, hence ipods etc. Personally i like my awareness intact thank you, i could never walk about the places i walk about and not be as aware as i could. I need all my senses, i
have to be aware, it's not a choice.
As a musician, i also really appreciate the value of silence. As much as i love music in all its forms, sometimes i have to have silence.

Yin and Yang.
I can't stand frelling mobile phones.
I also like to ride my bike. South London is pretty low in the picturesque lake department (although there are a few..kind of), but there are some good cycle routes, and you have to totally be in the here and now whilst on a bike, otherwise the results could be as Jimmy Saville used to say "very unfunny"
no one cares anymore. no one lives in the moment. everyone grows up to quickly just because they won't look around and enjoy the sun and the snow and the rain and the lightning and the rainbows because they are too busy listening to their ipods and their mp3 players and talking on their cell phones.
