A recent study conducted by the sociology department of Oxford University found out that most people under forty living in London spend 37% of their time telling other people how busy they are. 57% of the sociology department of Oxford University spend 24% of their time telling people they are too busy calculating how long people spend telling people how busy they are, and life goes on.I decided not to be busy for the whole month of February and it rocks! I'm playing chess for an average 3 hours a day, sitting in my bed and breathing without any intent to meditate or do anything other than breath and sit for about 1 hour, avoiding my computer till I start shivering which takes me about 20 minutes each time, and finally making music, the only thing I'm actually doing. Please don't get jealous. It's a terrible feeling. I'm probably poorer than you if it makes you feel better.
Between one song and another I grabbed one of those magazines that comes with the Sunday newspaper and read an interview with Amy Winehouse. That was the first time I ever heard of her. I had this weird feeling that I, myself, was answering the questions. Every word she said could be mine. That was fucking scary. She's groovy and now that I heard her music I like her even more. Ladies and gentz, Amy Winehouse.
Also, great news: RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE IS BAAAACK!! I can see myself being thrown up and down in a stadium full of people, finally listening to one of the best bands on earth, LIVE! Thanks guys! You can't imagine how happy I am. I love you!! Rrrrraaaaaaaaaaghhbmabakbboagaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrr!!!

Amy Winehouse is a bit of a musical phenomenon.
She lives every note - perfecly.
She's obviously got quite a retro-aspect too but she's also got a genuine 'fuck you' attitude!
Infectious passion.
She's amazing!!
glad you stumbled across your most excellent doppelgänger :) she's great. be inspired.
I'll have to check out Amy Winehouse.
Paula .. you and Oxford are absolutely correct. I came to the conclusion about 6 months ago that at least half of everyone's busy-ness was actually hysteria, and I refuse to be hysterical. So now I have plenty of time to read and think and converse and stuff. (I didn't have much money anyway.)
