First Post

Damn - now that title has set off a strange thought process. It's taken me back to the late-70's and a dark and desolate place where "The Last Post" * played through claxon horn loudspeakers as the command came down the line to switch off lights and turn in for the night. Taxis without wheels shuffled us across mirror-polished floors to steel-framed beds and cheap foam matresses covered in what we cacophemistically referred to as piss-skins. Cold. Frozen red fire buckets on cheaply welded frames. The secret sounds of Onan. Communal hell. Instant sleep and the expectation of a rabid and brutal awakening in a few short hours time. Once were soldiers.

But enough of that. Back then I scribbled things on pieces of scrap paper and notebooks and sent state-censored letters back home. I also kept diaries. Through my university years I started expressing myself in bad verse and when I backpacked the world I became a regular correspondent to friends and family. When I moved abroad I wrote tomes about my experiences and spent a fortune on postage. eMail changed all that. And then came my personal website and the chance to share my world with a larger audience. Pressure of work, business travel and a family of my own ultimately extinguished that fire, and I resorted to postcards to keep in touch with my significant others. Now I think the time is right for me to give blogging a go.

I have no agenda here other than to share observations and experiences and to go with the flow. "A collection of thoughts under construction" - that's probably what it's all about. So please bear with me as I figure this all out.

Later, MAlfaRK
