I'm a walking in the rain

posted in Robert Wilson news Blog

What is with this day light savings business. I for one do not subscribe to it. it’s dark by 4:30 in the afternoon here in Vancouver. I’ve never really understood who benefits from this curious activity. If any of you faithful readers are farmers or postal workers or milk delivery people, can you please explain to me why we must take part in this. I wake up late everyday, but I don’t ask anyone to change there watches to fit my schedule.

I was out for a walk in the rain this afternoon. A common Vancouver activity. I was pretending that It was sunny.

The rain was hitting me in the eyes and making me blink hard. I didn’t have an umbrella. I’ve never really subscribed to those things either. I was saying to myself, “somewhere it’s very hot and sunny right now.” I pretended I was there, walking in the sunshine.

So much about life is perception. I practice changing my perspective to see if it changes the way I feel about things. Usually it does. Sure this sounds crazy to some of you. It probably sounds like I’m living in a world devoid of reality. This may be true, but it make me feel better, and it’s better than watching television. safer too. No disruptive commercials.

My friend caleb was showing me this cool new toy he received as a gift from a guy who works for Adbusters magazine. It’s a little gadget the size of a car alarm key. You push the button and it rolls through all the microwave frequencies used by television remotes. Any TV within 20 feet of this thing will turn off. You could have a lot of fun with this thing during hockey playoffs at the bar. I want one.

I picked up some rough mixes of a few of the songs we stated recording back in September. Johnny is doing a great job mixing them and making everything sound good. I can’t wait to share some of these with all of you.

till next time, be safe and well.

What I’m listen to right now: Classic Prince! “Sign Of The Times”
