Despite myself

There really was one way to be,
Yet this is not it, we think,
To be such younger folk as we
Not levelled as we drink


Where has that petulant wee git got to?
Ho..,,.. Talking to you eddie, ya choob!!!

Hey, alright alright. Nuff o' that stuff. Here am I the good old eddie yin. Whats troubling me today then?? It's the fucking weather, the sun cloud rain. hills above the mist the mountain low. and I have plenty to be complaining about despite myself!!

yeah ok, so it's been a while n'that, but there were reasons.
reason
1. A lazy bastard is eddie.
reason
2. Same as last reason.....

But ye cannae be complaining coz here I now am, spraffing my words onto a page for your eyes only. Not only that. I'm a wonder. A super fantastic stretch of the imagination. A regular worshipper of the lack of reason to live.. I just happen to be going on despite myself. To spite myself, inspite of myself. Ye can choose your fave!!

Now it is Ecuador. A wee trip south of Colombia. I'm here to kill time but it's fine. Otavalo is pretty laid back and amongst lovely land. No hardship. The problem I foresee is getting back into Colombia due to visa technicalities. I think I have been there too long and will encounter a problem. Big problem as I have to fly from there at the end of April. And, I had intended to do some travel up there afore I left. And I have a bag full of stuff in Popayan.

I am going to go up to the border on saturday and see what they say, see what they are willing to give me . I may need to spend a few weeks here instead--not as good but still manageable.

Otavalo is nice. I've spent most of my Ecuadorian time here. better than Quito for sure. And, likely, many other places.

It's been a while since I did this and I am suffering from some fatigue that I cannot explain so I am going to get away to somewhere else not in this internet station that I am in just now....

And yet I go

with love on my mind-----to ALL
