A six month real time hiatus is equal to six years online...

The electronic music world's ephemerality is a well known quantity, and the same exists for the online world; an idle blog's audience vanishes quicker than any guest list's freeloader fill up.

But I've excuses, and the primary one is lucubration.

I'm at the tail end of a degree, and as those in learned land know, there is not enough time in any Roman inspired calendar, even more so when working full time, to fit it all in.

Secondarily, almost another month was lavishly eaten up by 'The Pact'.

The Pact, 18 months in the making, was a life altering journey travelling the Middle East with three high school friends.

The Middle East being Syria, Jordan and Israel.

It is a journey I would recommend to everyone.

It is not until you've seen through the eyes of others that you can truly see, with the path to accepting others first lying in accepting yourself.

And that's from an athiest - who's still an athiest.

These virtues permit you to really treasure the wisdom that travel ingratiates, and to cherish what many take for granted.

And it hurt's when you forget to cherish - and for me that's family, friends, Bondi Beach and dance music musings.

At most, a largely advertisement free place where one can catch up with what's choice in choons and interviews; at least, somewhere to digitally store my creativity.

But I'm back, and I hope you will be too.

Keep groovin'

p.s - A visit to the Middle East is not truly a visit unless you cake yourself in Dead Sea mud.
