i'm having a few good chats with my dad, although he looks at me in a mixture of fear and wonder.i guess having a freaky beard and painted toes don't help. talking about deconstructing reality, meta programming and plant spirits maybe is a bit much for him but i don't see the point in putting on a mask and being some one i am not, i guess if i could play that game i would not attract so much angst from everyone. i still think they really resent the fact i did not become a solicitor or lawyer. who knows.their generation cannot cope with anything that is beyond their realm of understanding, i guess old people need to feel firmly based in the structures they have lived in yet i am so the opposite, always attempting to define the limits, the boundaries, like a philosophical larry david, i tend to push the argument, oh no i sound like my.....mum.
