Visited a couple of friends in Dundee this weekend, went to an awesome ceilidh and have the bruises to show for it. If Edinburgh is English then Dundee seems to be where the Northern Irish head. Scary number of medics there too. Visited a friend’s church and had the pleasure of listening to some American convince all gathered that global warming isn’t the effect of massive industrialisation but is really the earth having birthing pains before the second coming of Christ. The entire point of his talk was that we are forced to be children of the world but we must remove ourselves from this perspective and become people of God, or something like that. The way to achieving this was through removing all other distractions available; phones, work, life, etc, so I thought it wonderfully ironic when a message was displayed on the screens asking somebody to move their car outside because it was blocking the road or something. It’s so easy to agree but then walk out and forget. The rest of the audience seemed to enjoy it though.
My new favourite lyrics for the moment are from Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds’ Nature Boy.
I was walking around the flower show like a leper coming down with some kind of nervous hysteria when I saw you standing there, green eyes, black hair up against the pink and purple wisteria.
You said, hey, nature boy, are you looking at me with some unrighteous intention?
My knees went weak, I couldn’t speak, I was having thoughts that were not in my best interests to mention.
Amazing.
