Well I want to anyway and what’s the harm in it anyway I say. I often think I shouldn’t then possibly I absolutely couldn’t but then I end up doing it anyway 🙂 We all need a regular shot of endorphins and sometimes that’s hard to get when you are home alone and there is nobody to call on the phone. Here’s an old song in a new version.

Just Another Someone

And now back to the serious stuff. Trump gets inaugurated on Monday. I wonder what that will actually mean for the rest of the world? I guess we just sit back and enjoy the ride or not. It may well be that for the rest of the world not much actually changes after all. It is a strange business though in general. The way the US conducts itself is for for a simple soul like me impossible to fathom. The law seems meaningless when applied to anybody with sufficient wealth, but perhaps it is the same in the UK though we don’t see it so blatantly? Money seems to be able to buy most things short of immortality though who knows, even that may be something you can purchase in the future. I see money at work but its like reading a sci-fi novel as its a world so remote from me as to almost be impossible to conceive how it works. What seems incomprehensible is the way that those who do possess it behave and what they value.

Many Trump supporters seem to come from quite marginalised groups, often low income much like the Brexit supporters in the UK. The notion of blaming and or othering people for all your woes seems to be #1 in most politicians play books now. As I write its the eve of my 68 birthday and I can honestly say in many respects I understand very little about human nature and society. Every day less and less in fact. I try to avoid directing hate at anyone but sometimes it’s hard work. As I write I am also listening to Purcell: Music for the funeral of Queen Mary.
Seems appropriate with my vibe at present. Looks as though the US TikTok ban is going ahead at the time of going to press.
