I admit, that 25 years ago, I was listening to Joy Division and Bauhaus among many other bands...reading about Paris in the Twenties, the Fin-de-Siecle and the Weimar Republic and the Occult and convincing myself that I was both intellectual and creative. I was drinking way too much, spiralling with self-destructive behavior and believing I was Bohemian or something equally stereotypical. Now, I am broke, slower and much more calm in my approach to things...some ways I am definitely more boring than I ever thought I would be. I have walked away from a lot, made quite a few errors in judgement about people, myself, my life, jobs...but am actually quite pleased with who I am. I am not exciting by any means, I still tend towards sarcasm but not as easily as before, I am usually quite silly but by choice, there is still a lot of absurdity out there to play with...perhaps just thinking back because I happened to put Joy Division back onto the stereo for the first time in a long time...
