Whats this about unsuspecting surfer - its a blog about a blog - not many of those about are there? It's about the keystrokes typed by individuals at the Steve Jones blog on Indie. 103.1. Indie is a radio station on the web and on the radio beaming out of LA. This is the cWa info exchange in thrall to Steve Jones the dee jay..aka..the man who can...the sire of Willshire...the captain of the blogship Indie. To whet craven appetites, you came here for something didn't you? Did you just click the recently published blogs link? I can only suggest that you click the back bit of your browser cos here we kick down the doors, fill your head full of guitar hero Kutie Jones and his Sex Pistols and dress like a dyke, like a hero, like a punk and like a prostitute Anarchist punk gang 1% who don't fit in and don't care. Its all there for your diversion. --------------------> In the...in the link boxes.
Now to move on...
That translation.com feeds you with some absurd renderings from Spanish into English and vice versa anyway - if I had translated anything in that manner from Irish to English, or Gaelic etc. at Uni I would have been bottom of class and my lecturer would have fixed me with his steely gimlet eye and said:
"That's not quite what it means A' Chrisdean."
Ah I can hear Raghnall Mac 'Illie Dhubh now. The consensus seems to be use a dictionary cos language is full of nuance and subtlety.
We are blessed with on the spot translation servicios - for these London boys - "servicios" can mean toilet in Spanish - I'm talking about translators like Tricky, like nevah and like that chriswasanon - who he - when he can get it together to listen and blog that is.
Lots of squabbling, some of us really do want to just feel the love and AC. is right there. Move on peoples. Mind you some of you do find the postings of others to be red rag to bulls and have to respond.
Like Pie I try to sit on the creaking fence, sipping Irn bru - not fizzy water or is that the palings and the pickets? I am a diplomat and as Iosif Vissarionovich Dzhugashvili or "Stalin" said once to one of his minions:
"Let us execute the diplomats..."
This mass murderer did have a sense of humour...
Rat Scabies needs a crash pad and a car apparently. Don't worry he hasn't got scabies anymore. Rats? - Pie these are worse than mice - oh that gnawing...too much. When they get in your kitchen its a kind of a merry hell - I knows. Scabies? When these little mites get under your skin you will wish that you were a giant scratching machine. I knows.
Accom wise Gidget offered her space to the former DAMNED DAMNED DAMNED drummer and so did many another hospitable blogstastic blogstar. Floor reprised the journey and apart from 2 words one of which turned out be lug'oles and the other...I do not feel in a position to comment upon...well it was A1 A+A+A+ great ebayer - would deal with again recommend excellent communication stuff. T'scribing is hard work.
Ramona thinks that we should have a board not a blog - she's got a point.
Sundance - how can I comment?
Until Monday...
Until 12 bells.
Big up:
Floor/JR./Jewell/Aunt Chrissy/AC/Tricky/Pie/Miche/Gidge/Nevah/Gail/Alison/Ramona
if I've missed you....yaketty yak.
Postscript - "dosers? dosers?" Oh dossers - I get it I thought it was like celebrity "get a dose" when I read it on the blog. I couldn't hear the show so I had no idea what you were all laughing about - mind you I usually have no idea so it's a wonder I do this not entirely thankless task - slaving over a hot computer...moan grumble. I do it for the comments - that's it. So you will comment won't you. TIA!
Back to the confoosion. Dose as in "syphilis" or "clap" or something and if you think I'm going to spell gonorhhea kerektly think on...It's "Doss" sleep rough. Crash on the street sing ANTI NOWHERE LEAGUE..."Streets of London" or even Ralph McTell. Stuart's blog cleared that one up. Dohhh...nutella.

4 Real...
Welcome back to chriswasanon a sort of blog about a blog.
Chispa, I now believe that you are Chispa if I'm proven to be wrong I don't stand to lose anything more than being thought of as a credulous fool. Chispa I find translates into English as "Tipsy" which means slightly "squiffy" old man, a little "wobbly" on the old pins eh wot?
Amigo! Muy Bueno.
So there nyyyyyaahhhh.
Chispa=Filthy=Lucre=Alicante.
Chuck P. posted and that was very cool - it would be nice to see Steve or the Sovel post sometime too.
Check those stats, thats why I think Chispa is real cos 56 hits from Valencia to here adds up to being kosher/straight up and I hardly think that Shloe can be from Spain - not if he was outed from Infinity anyway.
The majority of my readers come looking for the Steve, they come looking for the jukebox, they come looking for the Indie and I've got plenty of links to whet them appetites. You wanted to know where you could get a good pin queen t-shirt, I tell you. You want to know about clothes, its there, you want me to shut up...ok. I'll shut up. There. -------------------------------------------------------->
Then there are the many, the legion, that flock from West Coast USA and California but I get you coming in from all over and that's all wonderful but I keystroke with the hope that I will get a comment or two, I don't want 100's of them, just the odd observation on why there are 3 red cars parked outside the bar tonight yet there was only one yesterday - off topic. on topic. Ta!
So yes, there are those spammers who stay for 0. second and head right off again - cos they can't post and as long as chriswasanon is sysop of chriswasanon - or anyway I'm the chap with the keys they never, ever, never will post.
No duke, just pure 100% profit free blog.
Saor and asgaidh - which is like free man, so take one.
Current mood - uamhasach math - translator.com won't help you with that I'm afraid.
Big ups to Rat Alison
Naughty or Nutella JR.
Chispa
Pie Peace and lots of lubbings mate
Nevah - fizzy water I reckon
Jewell glad to give you a LOL.
If I've missed you post a freaking comment and I won't next time.
chriswasanon currently updating as often as ya changes yer knickers!

Want more?
"And what do you call such a person in your country Monsieur?"
"An Agent provaceteur."
So Shloe so Chispa so who ever you were working for the other
side - such childish behaviour. There is only one Steve Jones
talent such as his cannot be imitated, his life cannot be replicated.
You have either got it in aces like the Sex pistols and their guitar hero or you haven't and what ever poxy radio station that you hale from, I aint interested. Which fave punk personage type would the JB bloggers like to see spinning the decks?
Answers on a postcard please or not...more likely...to :
I think Chispa is real - he has to convince the rest of you though.
"I think XXX should be a dj er radio jock
1st pipe behind the radiators
Victoria train Station...
Victoria
London
Ingerland"
Mark your envelope:
"I have an opinion on this"
Forget it man.
Cos all the answers say "Kutie Jones."
2nd choice is John Lydon...
AC. is becoming the love whale of the JB. blog.
I feel sorry for the personality known as Chispa.
Not more playlists arguments already!
On a serious note today in GB is Holocaust Memorial day to remember the Final Solution, there is a current debate doing the rounds with the Muslim council of GB whether this should aim for inclusiveness and remember also Srebenica and Rwanda. Genocide memorial day, the argument against is on the lines of...
"well, the Nazis and their helpers killed on an industrial scale so that makes this event unique."
Mass murder is still mass murder, whether it is along the train track, in a pit in Eastern Europe, from the sky or with a machete in Africa.
Remember that!
Serious mode off.
There is always somebody who wants to just ruin the blog all the time. First there was the imposter and then Shloe came staggering in and now Chispa sucked into it. This is my last post on the subject of blog abuse.
Miche I do worry about your obsessive adoration for what is at heart just another radio station. Mind you - I worry about my obsessive adoration for what is at heart a free fall exchange know as Jonesy's juke box blog where all are made welcome. Where friendliness and tolerance is extended so long as it is not extended to racist women hating men hating types who come up on the blog to disrupt it. If you want to disrupt, disrupt something more interesting! JR. sex education does not involve whether the navel is innie or outie :-) Oh I see what you mean....good one!
"I can't concentrate, can't love or hate, I don't feel straight..."
In a rut?

Myspace uk
This from my favourite techie site the register.
http://www.theregister.co.uk/2006/01/24/myspace_to_uk/
Looks like Mr Rupert plans to myspace the uk too.
God can you just imagine it...no no its too horrible.
Other myspace links too on the page - well none of us posts objectionable content pictures to myspace do we, aside from that one of Max Splodge clutching a bottle of Jack's genuine old Nessabounds brand Kentucky whisky.
That one is an abomination unto the Lorrrrd and come the day of judgement you will surely spend eternity listening to the Duke...in hell!

The merest smidgen
Morning blogstars. Well well well.
Steve gave us a new blog with the title:
Enjoy...
I was seriously doubting whether he would, the auld yin was longer
than something really quite long it was into the 25th Century when
we will all be dead for sure and gone at close of play.
The sun sets on horizons that we will never see...
Floor great transcription! An ego the size of Steve Jones!
It's the real thing...like this is the real deal
and I am the accolyte real karma cola comin at ya from the Galloway massif!
I'd like to buy the world a Steve Jones guitar solo and sing in
perfect harmony...
"I fly the Indie 103.1 flag."
Wave on wave on..
News about JR. becoming a dee jay.
Er...John Rotten and not Jr my Jonesy juke box blogger.
Sure to be interesting Mr Lydon. 2X ex Sex Pistols spin
the decks. It's funny how our generation were the last generation
of heroes. There aint no heroes anymore just imitators...
ChispaFilthylucreIamextremelyhandsomebuthaveshitforbrains
shlomoethepaperbagwielding, you are all one and the same multi personage. The same name run into one. That's very weird, very weird behaviour. I don't know. Time was when you could go on the Internet and you'd get spammed, flamed, hip crimed, tossed, kill filed, plonked but now one ego with an insane conversation with himself draws others in.
I wonder if this is anti disassociative behaviour?
At least you are not a serial killer called Red Dragon. If you
are I am carrying my copy of the National enquirer and I claim
my $5.00. I always suspected that, Hah I suspect everyone and
I suspect no one.
No my Iberian amigo Chispa you cannot be the paper bag wielding one, can you? I yam broken harted and the veil of illusion falls Siddartha like from my eyes as I stop typing shit, Jewell and see the whole infinite oneness of creation and me a small dot upon it and hear words echoing weirdly from one Winterland - just down the road ya know coo eee- wow so many bands played there...
"ah ha ha, ever get the feeling you've been cheated?"
What is it about No fun that I have to listen to it over and over again.
The way that Sid goes "bomp" on his bass
and in time! as the intro starts...ah its a kind of magic...I'm throwing in song titles here...pillaging and raiding the lyric store, want more? John's desperation,
"No fun, by myself, no fun, all alone, no fun..."
Scared that I'll fade away and turn to grey see see the salt and pepper has become a sea of grey upon my head, I grow old, I grow old I will wear my Sex personal collection bondage trousers rolled.
This has been a chris was infinite nonsensical dot upon the anon blogosfear and I'm sick of editing it and if there are any typos that's just tough, my eyes hurt already.
Oh alright bigups.
Schizo
Anons who post sense
Steve
Floor
JR.
Jewell
AC.
Nevah - come out of the myspace and post here ya used to.
et al.
If I've missed you etc. make yourself known and you may get a plaque
on your wall and a silver cup with yore name inscribed upon it.

The weekend is here...
Welcome back to chriswasanon. A curious thing. This page gets hits from 0 second staying surfers - what's that about?
Spambots, cannot physically enter comments here but as they in the main are dumb asses who use special software, you the reader are safe from the hell of Viagra, web cams, "my wonderful web page," dodgy rolexes, the lads from Lagos, C1alis, meds, get rich quick schemes and all the other el totale alleged rip-off bollockos from the desk of the head of the Baluchistan lottery...it is alleged too that you should think carefully b4 using ticketmaster.
Bush is an idiot? Bit of a dolt? Personality of a house brick?
Some chairs were thrown,the place opened up. A woman La Presidente, good thing? bad thing? Well I think Hillary Clinton may be coming... Mrs. T did little for this UK.country "no such thing as society" and as for her idiot son lost in the desert...Rip it up and start again...
That old stoner of up in smoke and many other cannabis classics Chong, laid it on the line, the airwaves roaring larfter with that happy sound of Captain Steve Jones. Sometimes I read between the lines. I didn't catch the show but it sounded like a goody - thank you Steve - thank you Shovel - thank you Indie 103.1 fm. for the blog and letting us all play. The show ended up on the Steve blog in what I might describe (filching and bastardising) the headline from a Sex Pistols show in 1978 as a: "pie guitar political fracas." Only there were no pies, apart from pie and peas. :-)
I am an admirer of Ted Richard's "Forty Year old Hippie" healthy shit stirring. He is a part of a different take on Society by such 60's and 70's artists as R. Crumb, Skip Williamson, Jay Lynch, Gilbert Shelton. Some are of course still making people laugh. Richard's first creation was Dopin Dan and you can read all about him on his website, check the links. It was The Underground psychedelic comix crew. These were X. rated comics my dears, that dealt with unmentionable subjects like drug taking and sex. When I was young and in my decline, Fat Freddy, Smoot, Wonder Warthog, Mr Natural all fun, all spoke to my condition. Then along came those early VIZ comics out of Newcastle and how we laughed. The forty year old one did seem impossibly aged when I first read him in an underground bookshop. I was just a punky child person and now lookie here, I'm forty odds and fifty lurks around the corner and I'm still a child person. Scatological tale from the "Forty year old Hippie" The deserved classic "potty monster" - haaaaaar haaaar larfs like a drain. Look at those free flowing lines, the sense of humour just oozes from this strip!
potty monster here
the computer strip from Richard's and part two of the story the crunchy computer itself.
Pyramid power - yeah - 200 trips and they've all been bummers - yeah.
Steve called Shovel a "Jacobite" cos he didn't have the first "Poxy" music album. Well I says: with due respect "God Save the Jacobites." The souls of the many dead of the 1745 rebellion, hung drawn and quartered after pitching their lot in with Bonnie Prince Charlie. As the Gaelic songsters put it, "a people know who their rightful king is!" After Culloden came the sorrows. Proscription. No kilt, no tartan...no bagpipe and the beginning of forced emigration. Even though An Prionnsa (The Prince) was basically not really Scottish and ended up a wife beating depressive alkie who burst into tears everytime someone mentioned his beloved Highlanders. The end of the adventure was far far from the palace of Holyrood house. A noble wight indeed was Prince Charles Edward Stuart,la toast of the Edinburgh lassies as they wheeled around the ballroom at Holyrood with the Scottish capital having surrendered without a shot, "shall we dance Ladee Isobel?" Then came the long march to Derby and the even longer one back to Culloden Moor and the end.
There is a flower, the English call it, "Sweet William." The Scots name it "Stinking Billy." It was named after the Hanoverian Duke William of Cumberland, the butcher of Culloden Moor. There are better links but that's a start. rant mode off / or on \ what do these html switches meaaaaaaan?
Shloemoe continues to fret about sexuality, dream analysis anyone? The Shloe is talented, he should be writing drama scripts. We need a new President and I think Shloemoe would do fine! His policies are not completely set out yet but that will come...
Thank God you do not live in a blue State and if you do...why are you reading this, its probably illegal. DEATH TO TELEVISION!!! a bas le paranoia paradise television!
Mebbe I should get Muzz to make me up an Anarchy minus the swastikas of course with that sewn into it.
Thats it.
That was the chriswasanon blog and my big ups.
JR. - nope Dave's not here maaaaaaaan.
Floratina - "politics" from 2 words, polly or parrot and ticks therefore someone into politics is a creepy little thing who talks a lot of rubbish. Thanks to Barry Cryer.
Chispa - Got to get back to Spain my man.
Shloe - A talented blogger
Miche - Love this woman!
The pie. - Sex Pistols are God and disco sux!
The pod - Somnambulistic blogtastic!
The nevah - Hooked!
The jewel - Well - you are
The Sovel - I like to see him post.
Absent, Alison, psychic vamp, Gail...
If I've missed you the blog is so slowwww to load and longgggg to read, I can't cope with the scroll. "New blog," oh webmaster...they asked nicely...

A quickie...
Such fun on the blog last night - Lots of love and friendship in the house. Wish Steve hadn't played that Bob Dylan Stoner song - set off a post about Mr. Nice, after being asked. Started, posting about swearing and the J. Rotten swearing episode in the jungle. Philip Larkin popped in and there was a ton of fun in German inc. more swearing. The jb bloggers are sehr gut! Thanks Glass. Posted a silly joke. NMTB couldn't play but Chispa did and all the other regular JR etcs. and the Pod, Shloe with his brown paper bag lurched in and was having a wee swallie. Even Gidget popped by, say hello next time she appears!
Enjoy yourselves, enjoy the box.

Here's an interesting thing...
Jack's shack I have to thank Gidge for making me so welcome.

Tom.
Some kind of horror occured on the Jones blog last night I was too busy trying to figure out where the Azores and Tristan da Cunha were (on this giant World jigsaw that the other half and me (grammar) are currently playing with) to tune in to the Indie thing. However, according to a reliable informant, it is alleged that insults and exchanges were traded between X and the JB. bloggers. On what the subject was that triggered this fury I do not know. I will find out!!! I do know that today GMT. + 0 approx 2.30 pm. ALL the blogs at Indie are down and out. That includes the Steve blog. They are out to lunch BIG TIME. That also includes the archive posts. To what extent has Mr. S. taken a hissy fit with the El. Capitano's blog and evicted the bloggers enmass so to speak, as it were?
a)Are you serious???
b)Ya can't believe everything you read on myspace
c)Not at all.
d)He's got the power - he's the techie.
If it's d). I hope not. I have cried wolf b4 on my pages and things have ended up serene. Or is it merely that the website has just gone tits up shit...happens - pro tempore - like er temporary. Normal service will be resumed as soon as we can like figure out what normal service is.
It matters 0 my dear ones because the jb bloggers are with a few noteable exceptions blinded by the light of myspace, seduced by the pimping and the rockin' and the muso's and dem glitterballs. They sadly hang out there nowadays, oh myself included, I'll admit it. It seems we are all in the wings of the Steve. Didn't I get crazy kicks when he accepted my comments on his booty t-shirts, git box and his captainship? The man what makes the myspace money man is the served by advertising dataminer Tom man and the Rupert magnate Murdoch media man. 'S ok, I just think that the jb. crew might want to jump here and
COMMENT once in a wee whilie.
The Update.
Right it was all about playlists - someone did a kind thing and someone else criticised - the boys in the main kept out of it. The girls had a bit of a ding dong, its all a storm in a teacup. 2 be perfectly honest I personally couldn't give a monkey's toss what the playlists are. I ynderstand how important tosome people that is but I do not worry. I like the dialogue, I like good music and Indie gives me those things in fistfulls! I love the blog - that is why I do this, I love the Jonesy Jukebox blog. PRAISE!!!
Oh the blogs are back hooray!!!!!!
I makes it soooo easy for 'em. Merely click on the linkie to open a new window, the myspace space thing clunking away in the background. Here you are on my blog and do you COMMENT do you f...Who ya gonna call when you want the goss?

who sent me the new cd. of the Disrupters, GAS THE PUNX. It contains such as, "Norvic the Clown," "Bomb heaven," "Napalm," a different version to the one that appeared on the excellent CRASS compilation of new Brit bands, "Bullshit detector." Grab yourself a copy and relive a slice of 80's British Anarcho-punk action!

The Christmas mail
Here's another man who can - or could!
Great performances I have loved.
This is a facsimile copy of the one that Hendrix really loved! It's a 1965 Fender Stratocaster. Transcript of Jimi Hendrix intro to Wild thing:
"OK. we're gonna do the English and American combined anthem together ok and I don't think I'm losing my mind. Last nightmare whew. But today I think and everything is alright. Thank you very much to Bob Dylan's grandmother (Noel Redding) huh huh . "So uh, I'm gonna sacrifice somethin' I really love ok? and I don't think I'm losing my mind...and don't get mad, ok? Whew, all those beautiful people out there."
(This was a genuis at controlling feedback!)
Wahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo etc.
Well how CAN you convey that?
Hendrix then wowed the crowds at the Monterey Pop festival with his finale, "Wild thing." He was just a rumour at that point in the US. having broken it big in the UK. He sprayed lighter fluid over the guitar and set his Fender Stratocaster on fire. My top Rock and roll moment of all time. After it was all over, the screaming of the torched instrument could be still be heard through the amps along with the demented yelling of the crowd.
Back to the Christmas post.
I used to live in a place similarish to this but it wasn't as great, it was freezing cold full of miserable strange people and as damp as...something quite damp. Way less turrets too and divided into flats. Place called Harvieston. Used to snow a lot though. This looks like Glamis Castle or Borthwick to me. Image obviously copyright somebody. Fank yew.
Happy Christmas!
Feliz Navidad!
Nollaig Chridheil!
Happy holidays!
Winterfest.
Ane gude new Year to one and a'
Etc.
Well it seems that some folk are very sick with an unmentionable bug. I cannot tell the nature of said bug, is it flu, is it swine fever, mad cow disease, LA. sniffles.
What I do know is that influenza makes you feel like shit on a stick and that aint nice so get well soon and here is a hope that whatever it is that left you all so low will leave you feeling higher than the Christmas fairy on the tip top don't stop of the tree by at least Christmas Eve. If not sooner!!!
I now know thanks to JR and Nevah and Alison lots more about those bleacher thingies than I did.
There have been too many rebroadcasts over at Indie and that has put a downer on it for a few of you, about 3x I have had to rearrange my "busy" schedule sat down in front of this poxy computer, only to find that Steve is dying and this is a "rebroadcast." I also as JR. said, just want the man to be well.
Big ups to.
Flora for transcribing
Michebel for spilling the beans on the party.
Alison who invited me to a dance
nevah for being solid
JR for being JR.
Chispa - saludas from Scotland!
Pie and his toy-shop like head.
Jewell and her inspirations.
Tsetese for Malaria ;-)
If I have left you out, muchas apologies you try scrolling through 1067 entries on the Indie blog. Make yourself known here or at Indie and you will surely go into the Chriswasanon.blogspot.com hall of fame and fortune! Or not its not that important is it?
Enjoy yourselves - enjoy the box - enjoy/endure your families if you have them, your christmas puds, cakes, shortbread, whisky, sherry, mince pies, traditions that you never bothered to tell me about, turkeys, nut roasts, presents that Santa leaveth for all good girls and boys under the jukebox shaped tree. Awful boring television. Lets hope the US. Mail. the Royal Mail, (ya ever feel sorry for the postman?) mailman er the Spanish postal service, Irish mail, alpha mail whatever and wherever you mail- all got/will get through!
This has been a seasonal Chris was Anon summary. No posting for a week or two? I'm off to a land where there are no computers!
Have a good one! Play a fuckin' blinder!

Random update on mainly...THAT blog
I should be going South for Christmas hooray!
No one has posted anything here and I'm wasting
away for lack of COMMENTS u know those things you
write where it says ADD A COMMENT - I don't care
what you write so long as it isn't
NAZI BOLLOCKS - into the dustbin er
the trashcan of history with it!
"Halte Deine umwelt Sauber."
or
"Stops your environment cleanly."
It may lose a little in translation but...
ya gets the picture!
"White ayran nations..." indeed...pah
what a load of willies and cobblers!
Speaking of Nazis - it seems that myspace is full
of them. BrianJonestownmassacre has an excellent
triptastic blog there and... read it.
Nuff Nazis...
So what happened to the blog then? Well selective
scrolling reveals the following non bulletted points.
Steve was wished lots of nice things by the Indie bloggers.
The silence about the 6am Cally time rebroadcast was deafening.
Neither the Pie of Flora are myspacers - there was no reporting
back to the nevah.
JR had fun in Vegas.
The nevah is withdrawing from Cadbury's chocolate
that aint real chocolate nevah - real chocolate
is 99% cocoa mass!
Iggy Pop may possibly be posting on the blog - we hope so
cos we are all big fanz and passengers! Also Pete Townshend.
Mosquitoes may carry AIDS - well Scottish midgies sure don't!
Bjork was big upped! I saw her once at Glastonbury 95
No it was Glasto 94 and er, I didn't want to but I was
kind of swept along by the crowd and ended up at the
stage and it was all-right. Tho my ex used to say that
she was as mad as a snake! Big time sensual....ity!!!!
Lennon's death was discussed.
Blue Öyster Cult fun with umlauts even tho it was a cover version!
Viagra day - "I love my job." JR.
Message of the week - came and er went...
Perhaps Steve does like to be insulted in a fatty jones chocolate box
assorted McLaren Reid kind of way...Ah hae ma doots!
For some reason Miche advocated Jack's shack
as the alternative blog post place but this is the:
ALTERNATIVE!!!!
Tell me where there is another?
OK there is Stuarts blog and you should check it
for the latest news. See the linkie its in MY LINKS
!!------------------->
The impostercile dropped his fish guise electing to use
the run from Jack and the Beanstalk as his theme.
Disco inferno...Is it what you wanna hear from
the Licker of Lichtenstein? Steve the Jones
is an eclectic man, wonder if he'd play some
Tom Paxton for me? No not Misty...
Crotch grabbing....
LETS OUT THAT IMPOSTERCILE
All together its....
Schhhhhhhhhhhhhhh- you know who you are
and so do we!
This has been a chriswasanon updated summary
of the summary - you know it makes no sense

Travelling....rhetorical park-up
"Who among us has not felt his heart beat a little faster at the sight of a plane soaring into a wide blue sky, or admired the fellow who tears up the gas bills? ..."
"Ghost riders. Travels with American nomads." by Richard Grant.
Whether, its 3 weeks in the sun, 3 months in Europe or 3 years around the world, we all love to travel.
The fact of the matter is of course that there always were, always are and always will be people, "on the road." Mar a bha, mar a tha, mar a bhios. Or "as it was, as it is is and as it will be." Now none of us can really be sure how our lives will turn out, what direction is home. So is travel a necessary rite of passage? To see different places, eat different things, meet different people is surely to broaden the horizon of personal human experience and become the richer for it. Previous exploration by those who came before us has created the future possibilities that we all now inhabit and enjoy or suffer...
Once that decision is made, it becomes an easier thing to keep moving than it is to stop. The act of motion is an unsettling thing. Those who live on the road; in trailers, in wikieups, in ghellies on the shores of lochs, in yurts, in bedouin tents, in a convoy parked up for the winter know this. Those with wood burning stoves and stack pipes. Who dwell in tents, in caves, on floors, up trees, in woods and up mountains, they have elected to lead a shifting lifestyle. They tell the same thing: they are uncomfortable with the idea of living in a stationery box. A static existence underpinned with the hum of a domestic electricity supply. I find the concept of end-point unsettling. It seems that there is no true terminus.
That bus ride, that plane trip, that boat crossing or that journey may have finished, but it is easier to take another. This was my feeling looking out across the Mediterranean sea to N. Africa on the edge of Europe - after a mere 2 days of motion out from Scotland to Southern Spain.
Interested? The subject of nomadism is a fine topic and you can't really do better in my view than seek out a book called, "Ghost Riders. Travels with American Nomads." by Richard Grant. This autobiog travelogue explores through "case-history" what lies behind the urge to travel within the US. its problems, benefits, lesser-known aspects of US. history and the wider implications of travel.
Answers on a post!

Closing the Steve blog
Just because Steve's blog is currently closed does not mean that it will remain so, does it? Well you know what to do, there's always a home for you here at chriswasanon and if nmtb is reading this, just create a new account.
call yourself nmtbcal and for a password, bollocks!
Seriously nevah, have a good time in the smoke.
Chris was probably going to change the subject quite soon.

MYspace
Ma space, ye space ay body's space!
My space, your space, everybody's space!
Why am I writing about myspace? Because I have expanded
my social contacting there and to some extent taken my discussion
from the Jonesy's blog. It is partly why I set this blog up, so you
could add your own thoughts here and when Tom posted his
myspace link quite a few of you signed up. I was hoping to chat to
Steve and I imagine many of you were too
If you are a jukebox blogger and you found that myspace
wasn't for you...These are the results of my research:
Distraction?
Animated gifs,
sound files,
video,
kudos scoring,
comments,
bulletins,
instant messenging. AIM I think.
blogging and lots more.
Social networking, "making friends."
You'll get a message saying "so and and so ....want's to be your friend!"
"approve, deny, block, delete, retry, abort, give-up.".
...you know...the drill - its not quite like MS. DOS though.
You'll get a message saying,
"New Comments!"
And you'll find that someone has written
"Thanks for the add" and
they have added a huge picture...
or not...sometimes it really is only a comment."
Its a wonderful place to find out about; music
and bands, and entertainment a place of artistic
expression meet new people, find those that
you have something in common with.
Whatever those tenous links of connection
may be. It may well be ideal for dating
I can't comment. It seems to be geared
towards that quite strongly.
You can search your email addresses for contacts and
add them to your friends list. This is very handy.
There are some good blogs on there but you must look.
hard and the search is not that great.
If I was being cynical and a party pooper....
I would say that it isn't entirely "myspace"
for my space at home does not involve a constant
scrolling of adverts.
This piece reminds me of the "Hitch hikers guide to the Galaxy."
No not the dreadful film, I mean the books, the radio series
the lp. the tv series anything but THAT film...
Myspace IS the Restaurant at the end of the Universe.
And that in a protracted snap is myspace.
Chris was not Marvin a manically depressed robot.

If you are a jukebox blogger and you found that myspace
wasn't for you...These are the results of my research:
- . A marketing thing driven by a free market a riot of graphics.
- . One of the top social networking sites to be found on the Internet.
- . A good research tool, a never ending wave of distraction and advertising,
