Crazy Talk!!
My feet are on the floor and my fingers are alive. When crazy talk comes around rainbow coloured blood flies through my veins and arteries all the way to the ends of my fingers and then that goes straight into the keyboard and then it flies through the keyboard onto the page/screen and then you read it!
You are essentially reading rainbows right now, I am writing with rainbows.
Writing does just amaze me, I can write words here, and then they go on a page/screen and then other people can read them and then they can feel things! And sometimes those things might be the same things that I feel. So it’s like we are together and connected and it is special. Writing is the best, most intimate and it’s the best. Sorry painters, writing is better na na na.
An idea has taken hold of me recently, it’s grabbed me from the floor like the root of a tree. Although that sounds like a bad thing, because I sound stuck in it. But I have been thinking about writing and why more people don’t write? Or share their own story? Why am I getting the news from Huw Edwards or some random reporter, why am I not getting stories directly from people? When everyone can write. I’m imagining like a collective of writers who all write from the heart, they share their truth, not having someone else share it. I don’t know, it’s something anyway.
The other ideas on my list of things to start and do because building a business will fill me up from the inside and make me feel happy and special again…. Right? Wait? Will it? Will building a business fill my void from the inside and make me happy, rich and famous? No James, cast it into the fire.
Yes exactly, I have canned them all. Plop. In the bin. Cya. No I am not going to start an investment fund, James are you mad?! Why on earth would you want to manage other peoples money for them and try and make them feel better by investing it into businesses doing “good”? Goodness gracious. No thank you. I am not even sure we need more businesses, particularly for profit ones, I think we need more organisations and communities. Yet tbh we probably need ones that don’t make loads of money but do loads of good and don’t have to try and do the former, just do the latter.
***I must say also whilst I am here in crazy talk that I made a few errors in my writing last week. Sarah was right to correct me on some of the financials around the wedding. (Detail really isn’t my thing) apparently our rings were much more than £1,000 for two! This is news to me, so yes it was more like £1,500 - £2,000 and an hour later and the wedding was on. Or something like that. From now on when writing about our life, or anything actually Sarah will be my editor and proofreader. Say hello to Sarah everyone!***
This is why Sarah is brilliant and she’s actually the co-founder of our life together, with me as the other co-founder. It’s funny because a taxi driver called Juan Miguel in Spain asked if we worked together which I thought was interesting, very interesting. 516 words of Crazy Talk, is that too much? I could probably write a Sarah section to be honest, she is brilliant at languages you know I am very impressed. My WIFE. MY WONDERFUL WIFE.
I wonder if in Lisbon I will be more or less Crazy, I actually hope less Crazy. That’s the intention.
Head hurts from crazyness. Love you Mum. Hi George.
Tchau, obrigado.
