DIARY OF A VAGABOND

[13: just happens to be my lucky number]

A personal account of experiences had...adventures and misadventures...thoughts and just about anything that one could deem 'personal' rather than slotting nicely in to any of the Transmissions.Center Subjects.

BACKGROUND:

I just so happen to be the world's leading expert on all things to do with me. In fact, I maintain that the only thing any of us stand any chance of truly understanding in the vastness of the Universe (I personally subscribe to the Multi-Verse model), is ourselves...from there we can make a go at mastering 'the self'. 

From a very young age this sort of thing fascinated me. I didn't much care for school work (enjoyed the sports, art and playtime). If class was being tutored on a topic that didn't interest me, I was eagerly reading up on Romans, Dinosaurs, sharks and Medieval Knights. I did love to learn, however, and what interested me to a great degree was myself. I do not mean that in an egotistical sense (there isn't much I find more loathsome than a massive ego), but more in a spiritual one - hence the existence of Subject 144: Esoteric Observations.

Each one of us is a fascinating story to be told, yet so few of us actually tell it. I might as well share my thoughts with the world and that is where this page comes from. I like to analyse my behaviour and thinking patterns (I like to analyse a little too much actually - which was a self analysis), and in order to spot trends, notes have to be made...which has led me to be a prolific note taker rather than diarist in the past.

In the summer of 1997 I composed a list of 202 things (why stop at just 10) I wanted to do before I die. I've done depressingly few and have even decided to whimp out of several. Keeping a diary is on that list. I might swap 'Ride a motorbike at 200mph' to 'Touring' (it's my list...I can do that!).

Write about what you know...

That's what they say. I can't think of a subject I am more well versed in than myself. Given that, this subject will be extremely diverse; from politics to philosophy, humour to humanity. If it exists, it has interested me at some point in my life, and at some point on my travels I am bound to encounter a great many things which are either new to me, or rekindle a dormant thought to express.
