Something Unrequited

I'm a drifter. Drifting is easy. Decisions on the fly. Never really applying too much thought to the long term. It's always been so far away. And I've never really known, known the plan. "I am young and I am lost" - Maximo Park.

Growing slightly less young though, and ideally growing slightly less lost too. Feeling the need to pause, and take stock of it all. Need to finally decide Which Way Forward. Although forward often implies leaving things behind, and in my ways, there's things in my life which probably need to be resigned to the past yet I lack the desire.

Or something like that. It's got a lot to do with something. Something unrequited. Maybe a bit of a fuck up. But I love it. And him. And friends, as second best, is a strange but necessary reality. It's something that I feel deep down, one thing that I actually understand.

It makes perfect sense. Yet serves only to confuse the hell outta me. I need to move on. And not in a pretend way.

But. Yeah. Giglog.

At this year's Edinburgh's T On The Fringe I've seen:

The Fratelli's (supported by Scissors For Lefty) at the Liquid Rooms

The Upper Room at Cabaret Voltaire

Maximo Park (s/ The Research) at the Corn Exchange

Snow Patrol (s/ Elbow and the Hazey Janes) at Meadowbank Stadium

I'll prob expand on that later.

Uhuh. I'm tired. And heading back south to MK tomoz I thinks. And it's late (early). Should sleep. Yeps.
