Ruminations

Hello.
Feel free to look around.
This is where I talk to nobody in particular about all the little and big things that make my world go round, or occasionally what annoys me.
Not much annoys me, but I do have lots of loves.
I love three kinds of music. The first is making my own. The second is David Bowie, because I don't think there ever was, is or will be another quite like him, and I think of his music as separate. And the third is all other kinds of music.
I also love literature, history, art, women, gadgets and gizmos, politics, lots of things, and I find all aspects of our world fascinating.
I play various musical instruments, some better than others, and I like to think I am a creative person.
I am enjoying growing old and I like being in a world where, all of a sudden, ordinary folk and special folk can tell the world all about stuff, and you never really know who is listening.
If you are too young to clearly remember life before the internet, you have missed some wonderful things that will never return, but you also have the advantage of living in this incredible modern world.
But I am also deeply worried about things I see on the news, about wars and religion and unfairness, how the world is eating itself, etc.
Syrian tyrants and backyard bombers and twisted fruitcakes and secret services and bigotry and greed and starvation and decadence and conspiracies and spies and aggression and massacres and children and women and faiths and innocent people being treated badly.
It's good and healthy that ordinary Joes like me can say stuff, and someone we shall never know may read it and say, "This is an idiot", or, "That's how I feel, too".
So far, from pages I can see in Admin but you can't, I note that many thousands of people have had a look at my little blog.
I would love it if everyone in the world learned to play a musical instrument, or learned to sing. Music is the secret to a happy life, as is love, both inextricably linked.
And be nice, for God's sake. There are enough shits out there.
