Early morning sensibility and yourself. Or early morning, sensibility and yourself.

Welp. Turns out I'm capable of insurmountable amounts of DIY related chaos. This is how the last 20 minutes just played out.

Shoot from the hip.

June 11th 2012.

Still standing.

Calmed down an awful lot these past few months, my thoughts aren't quite so scattered as they used to be. Felt inclined to write something - wasn't sure what though. I feel as though the needle on my compass is starting to ease off it's wild whizzing and starting to point more poignantly to somewhere actually on the chart. Don't get me wrong, it's still bouncing around and doing loop-the-loops but every once in a while it does nestle. Just occured to me where that metaphor came from: Jack Sparra'. No matter, shall keep it anyways.

To put it another way, I'm facing the sun. It's at that point where it's tip-toeing between rooftops. You know - when you can't see shit on your screen because you can't afford an LCD or curtains. For the record I'm still speaking metaphorically. I'd be rather concerned if that was the issue at 22:34. So this is the analogy I'm going with. The sun is flinging death-stars of GRAAGHSHITICANTSEE at me. Because i'm facing the sun. And it's tip-toeing across the rooftops. You follow? My point being in that mire of pointlessness is that it might as well be a rising sun. I can't see a damn thing but I reckon I've got a bloody good chance I'm looking at the start of a new day.

Metaphorically speaking.

So to speak.

It's been a long and arduous weekend of working - give me a break. I'll forgive myself at a later date.

Was watching The Outlaw Josey Wales yesterday. Fancying myself a gunslinger. Call me Andrew Deschain. Sun might be in my eyes now but I can always shoot from the hip. If you get what I mean.

Fuck this convoluted nonsense.

Let's draw.
