Touching Wood

And so Touching Wood, is released into the virtual world onto the unsuspecting minds of strangers I only know through wires... I don't know who or what they are, and they do not know me and yet they like it.

Sometimes strangers are a more powerful influence on me than everyone that I have ever known.

.. I have always relied on the kindness of strangers.. that's Streetcar isn't it? How profound, I wish I had thought of that, originally.. now it looks like what I've already just said before is just ripped off.. yeah, maybe subconsiously.

Poo.

Memo to myself; do the dumb things...

In case I forget, I have stuck this post-it to my forehead (written backwards)... everytime I look at my reflection, it stares back at me:

1. Do not wash face as ink will run.
2. Finish "Touching Wood (Stories for boys Pt 1 (1977-1980))" before I die.
3. Complete "My Name is Charles Alfred Allen" audio and video before winter.
i. Re-record 'On the Mersey'
ii. Re-record 'Stardust'
4. Start writing "Cut", before I forget what it is about.
5. Don't ever cycle in the blistering heat without water again.
6. Stop taking me for granted.

from humble beginnings

elementary productions is me.

i am an artist, first and foremost.

i needed an outlet.. i need to be let out.

Like a dog I need room to stretch my legs, fetch sticks, eat grass and a have poo (which is made up of undigestable grass and it hangs from my backside so I have to rub myself on the floor to get rid of it).

There will be more, eventually, but not necessarily like this...
