a strange day
even for a strange man like me
some sad news i shant be the 1st to reveal...
im sitting here alone
gravenhurst is playing on the eye boxx
outside a cold rainy night has come down
nk n doodles n bumper have flown the coop
off to the u.s. to visit family
so here i am feeling a bit lonely
the empty house so devoid of children
often ive wished for this; the solitude the peace
but now ive got it.....
dear god please
see my fambley safely home
so im sitting here
eating some candy n typing my blogge
on monday i leave for europe
and all that continental jive
i dunno what to say...
im lookin' forward to it
im open for whatever may happen....
rock on ! or something...
hey its gonna be great
are ya comin?
fandroolin' yeah
i finished the golem
wow!
prague baby...you gotta love it
anyhow
its the day they say that j.c. got nailed to that cross
typical
the cat says some nice things
then they bang him up
excruciating
i feel today
the iron tips of the nails against my flesh
the red spurt as they hammer them home
thru skin n bone
excruciation
that poor gentle man
that lovely healing soothing beautiful fellow
his soft voice and his downcast eyes
into your hands i commend my spirit
nice one to all involved
of course nobody takes the blame for that mistake
has anything changed?
a load more atrocities we had to have
mans basic inhumanity to man
and to the beasts
and to his planet
good going
happy easter!

Good Friday's kind of funny like that. Even if you're not one to be thinking about Jesus, a big attack of he solemns can get to you.
The Jehovah's Witnesses next door are having a party now. I guess I should just be glad they're not listening to songs of praise.
Godspeed to your family.
dela-where? wish you were there?
peace,
the beast
My best wishes for everyone's safe travels and for a great visit for your family and a great tour for you and the rest of the band. I'll eagerly (and a little enviously) await your tour blog entries.

When I think of crucifixion (and other tortures and particularly brutal methods of execution) I'm always chilled by the number of "fans" each seemed (and still seem) to have among ordinary people. I can fathom that there are enough twisted people to come up with these heinous tortures, but what boggles my mind is the public entertainment aspect of so many of them. Just how does a average joe (or jane) get to the point where he/she thinks "hey honey, isn't there a crucifixion (hanging/beheading/stoning/burning at the stake, etc.) on today? It's nice out, why don't we head over there for a bit after lunch?"
hey dude you sound down but hey
im drunk its happy friday and all is well so things cant be all that bad. love your ones when they return.
love you

"She's crying for loss
For the man on the cross"
I remember so well listening to that song again and again five years ago when I was in the Philippines...even while watching worshippers flagellate themselves and be nailed to crosses with sterilized stainless nails.
For me, I now can't dissociate that country from that song.
Powerful.
Some of your best work, Steve.
at the risk of appearing insensitive, here's an easter joke...
q) whats this?(picture jc, arms stretched out across cross, legs pinned down - your usual crucifix position)
a) a fucked way to spend easter
happy oestra x
will feel right soon.....i see you surrounded by many riteful souls ....all is good,gentle one...you are never alone...remember what they used to do to the see ers...oh,i can see very well ...even better now......now that im grown,i dont have to blame the cat for what i know/say .....strength nchillies n candy to you,xxxxx xlove to you...genx
Sorry to hear you have sad news sk. I hope the tour will help you cope with missing your family. Take care & love always,
Amanda
safe travels for all the Kilbeyites...
nice reflection on the lows of mankind...
but lo, you are one kind man...
sail on home...
love,
ee
we are no match for family
but wed love to keep your company
don't fret, steve~~the little ones will be home again before you know it, and your reunion will be a joyful one.
easter has always been a time for personal reflection for me~~a sort of rebirth. i don't make new year's resolutions because i save any renewals or beginnings i would make for the easter season.
"mans basic inhumanity to man"
exactly. shame nothing's changed, and won't. shame.
question ,oh oracle of interstella lyric.....is it beastiality...if a mozzie.....bites me on the puzzie?/////..........maybe you laughed....maybe you only smiled a teensy bit......happy easter......genxr
please no jesus freak trash.... remember man created god AND jesus, as smart as you are you buy that dumb story because you think you need to understand.........
Hi ~,
you have a lovely way of writing. Great yearning there, but the jumped synapse connections zing... Make sure you spread your writing far and wide, don't keep it close to your chest... Roll it out and see where it leads you...
Dear Blogger,
who art in The Time Being,
Hallowed be thy blogge. Thy kingdom come, thy will be done, in sound checks as it is in The Time Being. Give us this day our daily blogge, and forgive us our trespasses, as we occasionally begrudgingly forgive some of those who trespass against us. Deliver us from y-front undies, for thine are the golden calves, the power and the glory, for ever and ever, amenandwomenandanimalsandplantsandeverythingthatis
Dear Anonymous please no jesus freak trash.,
has it occurred to you
the blogmeister here
called his band
THE CHURCH?
Just a thought...
yeah, we've done a great job with it, haven't we???
have a good time playing in europe. your family will be fine...home before you know it. it's weird having peace when you get used to chaos. i crave the alone time...the peace. i get it...then i wonder when they'll be home, it's too quiet. silly...
sweet SK - a beautiful father and husband..... your home must be so quiet without the familiar sounds of giggles, niggling and tiny footsteps...
"often ive wished for this; the solitude the peace
but now ive got it....." I also am guilty of wishing for this during the chaos of a busy life with a 3, 5 and 15 yr old - but I also feel time slipping away way too fast and know I would rather relish the vibrance of our happy house full of wild and noisy children...than trade it in EVER!!!!
if anything - this short time will make you appreciate all that you have much much more - and (I guarantee it!) vice versa!!!
Immerse yourself in the tour - it will all go so quick - and the reunion will be so sweet...
hugs,
Nic
happy easter blogstar!
have a great tour,
your'e going to some very
bohemian places.
enjoy 'em!
What the world needs is more peace and kindness. It's the mind that's the problem. Thinking of right and wrong, like and dislike. Believing thoughts as if they're something real or tangible. They're symbols and tools - nothing more. They're no more real than the dream you had last night.
Be what the world needs. Be peaceful, be kind.
The mind's devisive. The heart knows better.

"mans basic inhumanity to man
and to the beasts
and to his planet"
Makes me not want to have children.
The sounds of silence in the house,family away, rain falling and gravenhurst ... holy day. No wonder youre feeling strange and lonely. Easter's always seemed more real to me than Christmas if you know what i mean. I've been thinking of Marty all day and his sad news. solemn friday. safe travels sk. How we wish we could cocoon the ones we love.
Give m the biggest hug from me when you see him.

ps Candy?! :)
Hey Esskay,
me am still waiting to be taken off that cross...
The Jesus & Mary Chain
Its amazing how you sometimes don't realize how much you miss all those things you take for granted. I travelled to a show a couple of hours from home and stopped by to see an old friend I hadn't seen in years and found him all drugged, smoking crack, selling perks to minors to snort, a guy throwing away his life with 2 beautiful young daughters. It made me instantly count my blessings, and I wanted to be home again, with my wife, my 3 and 7 year old. It made me furious that he was this way. That he had so much to live for other than drugs and drug deals. So on this Easter weekend, count your many blessings friend. And try and enjoy yourself!
KICK ASS IN EUROPE!!!!!!!!
Tim
What's going on with Marty, please, if Sue C or SK or someone is able to say here?
x
I pray that Steve and his family members have a safe trip. Once again the truth has been revealed. Indeed we are a fallen race. Look at all the human homicides, animal genocide and decimation of God's planet. If we were made in God's image then we are a malevolent disgrace to our benevolent Creator who imbued us with grace.
Blessed Be in the Season of Spring! Go Forth and Flower!
Sending Marty calm energy to help deal with whatever he is facing.
Cee
Wow, Master Pernath... hope you found something for you in these pages. glad you'll visit the place. If you like, I can do my best travel guide impersonation. cu
Go to Marty's myspace page and read the comments...
Hey Steve,
You ask if anything's changed from that day they nailed up JC. Well, it all depends on what you believe of course, but some will tell you everything changed a couple of days later. After the banality of man's evil, the miracle of divine love.
I look forward to seeing you and the band in London.
GAM
sometimes
you get that feeling that
if not enough people showed up
for the crucifixion (fiction),
they'd have re-scheduled.
Hey Steve-o,
Despite "current circumstances" I wish all the best, and much warmth and comfort to you guys, especially MWP.
May your travels (and your fambley's) be safe, fun and rewarding. Fare well, friends.
Much Love and Happy Easter to all...
Cheers,
Ben V.
see you in Brighton!!!

followed wild horses thru a pass
to a spa retreat
yesterday
went there for my tired feet
an old Mexican lady
reached my soul
through my soles
no one has ever touched my feet
so gently
I thanked her again and again
she laughed at me softly
she said
"well I must be gentle, you have baby feet, they've been in boots and thick socks all year, haven't they?"
she said I needed some sun
I agreed
I bought new sandals
vegan!
sequined!
sky blue!
oh happy feet
flying up flights of stairs
the same ones I walked heavily down
a day ago
a nine year old girl
betrayed by those she loved
becomes aggressive when vulnerable
she sent a mean mean letter
detailing her hurt and rage
to the ignorant
they that caused her pain, she thought, should know of her hurt
but it failed to make her feel better
in fact...
she remembered that god has a hand in everything
that all suffering
guilt
shame
abuse
anger
violation
has an antithesis
that is meant to show us
our lack of Love
god wants the folks to
don't worry
be happy
sing good songs
think good thoughts
create good things
the gentle and kind jc
tried to tell em
that virgo
was as chaste as a pomegranite
her purity
was intention
her harvest
was kindness
sown in springs
reaped in falls
but the people thought he was making stuff up
the ones that believed him
scattered
the romans in catholic school
decided nuff was nuff
they wanted some control
over this new found
hope
ha! they said, commoners don't deserve hope!
that is a privvy to the rich
so they rounded them up
sorted them out
fed them to lions
raped and plundered
what was left of sweet jesus
written into a cult of virgins
taking a guess about things
excluding
omitting
many years after the light being
vanished
somewhere good ol jc must be rolling his eyes heavenward
muttering to himself:
cult of virginity, eh?
boring!
this good soul loved the ladies
he was kind to his mum
his parents musta had quite a time with this lad
he was probably more than a handfull!!!
ha!
The blame may be placed, I think
on fear
fear of something that cannot be controled or taken
such as Love Faith Hope Trust
so things that could be stolen
innocense
became a prize
to be fought over or taken
but not Loved
not truly in the way that it was meant to
god would not demand an act of creation
so miraculous
then call it vile
give it rules
make it circumstantial
give it guilt and shame
oh and all the stop with freakin jesus people
puleez
do you imagine anyone more freaked out about such a gift of Sight
as Mr.Nazarine?
what suffering the packs seek to inflict
on those that prefer to run wild
independantly following the call
of their true nature
it makes people
jealous
to see someone have the freedom
they deny themselves
they don't see they already have
Divine Love
they are created by it
they carry it out of the sea
they bring it back home to the tide
swimming in the surf under the sun
spirits in the material world
what have we manifested, easter?
ugly things that should be beautiful
will be again
a new wave
turn o the tides
crucify and resurrect
a painful cycle
I feel will soon be mended
yes I dream about it
laugh it off, you'll see
I told a married woman
a friend of my moms
after church one day
that the guy she was talking to
was swishy
he complemented me on my sweater set!
as if he wanted one of his own, I thought
hmmm
the lady was shocked and chagrined
he was married to her
sure enough, 2 years later
this dude packed up n left
for Castro baby
with some leather daddy he'd met at a bar
well, I don't like to say told ya so
but I did...
and if jc were here today
I would sit him down
kiss his furrowed brow
his tears
remove his sandals and
sooth his aching feet
~
Sorry to hear about the sad news. I'm anxious about what it is though. I hope nk and the girls are all ok too.
And of course we can't wait for the european tour. Esskay "We Welcome You"!!!
xxxx
Steve, you asked "are you coming?"
Yes!!!
Tickets and hotels sorted for Brighton and London and I can't effing wait.
To quote a certain singer I'm "like the cat that had the cream....you're so easy to love".
xx
Just read about Marty's Mum.
Much love to him. I lost my Mum 16 years ago and it still hurts.

Man created God and Jesus? Just what we need, another fucking intellectual egomaniac w/out any blogge ethics. Happy Easter!
lord the cross of loneliness is hard to bear
but the rock will roll
yeah yeah
B
thoughts are as real and tangible
as dreams
what you hold in your awareness
co-creates your reality
manifest from the unmanifest
the moon follows mercury
yes it does my friend
whether you like it or not
whether you believe it or not
ancients considered the moon
to represent the body
cold and lifeless
inanimate
without the illumination of the sun
it does not glow
for those on spaceship earth
without reflecting that light
the sun is the life giver, the animate
the soul, spirit, higher self, god
call it what you like
your body does not function w/o the sun
your soul does not function here
w/o the moon
emily teachin'
thank you, sweetly
it's my heart thats been unrollled
not just in my chest
it's led me to an exceptional place
a beautiful garden
do I walk alone?
MP~
peace and condolance
heart and solace
thank you for the roadsigns
thank you for the roadsigns
I followed the 2nd
to the letter A,B,C_5
sped away at 111 mph
landing time ap pro poe
heh heh
I stayed
I prayed
now I head north tomorrow
still spring there
still an image of pink petal showers and blue ocean watercolours
I'd rush into
follow the 1st
to a point
stranded rebanded?
hope full
next...
after the...
right turn signal?
say yes
yes
yes
~
safe travelling to all,
many happy returns home
mercury=the mind
speed of conciousness
illumination+mind+body
=111mph
or kph
whatever is clever
and gets ya there
it's all Projection
golden dreams that can come true
while you are awake
see the signs
baby!

"How long must the red rain last?"
"As long as the race endures"
Well where do you start.. much positive energy to ya sk. And MWP
I know the feeling you are dealing with and It's really really hard.
All the best with Europe.. And try to get to the manic street preachers that are touring aswell, 4 the first time in four years.. they are amazing, and playing two concert in London around your shows.
The Church "easter".. strange connection eh!
Lv ya
thinking of you all.

much love to marty.......linda and gen buckingham /xxxxxxxxxxx
love and hugs to marty.
Though they sink through the sea they shall rise again;
Though lovers be lost love shall not;
And death shall have no dominion.
my regrets to mwp
cheer up, sk.. and happy easter. i am very sorry to hear of mwp's mom, i lost mine on april 8th years back.. still hurts like no other pain.
xo all

To Anonymous said...
please no jesus freak trash - I think you missed the point, besides it is Easter.
I enjoyed your blogge today, Steve. All the very best for the tour, hope your able to stay in touch. Your family will be OK and will be missing you already.
Much Love
check one, check one, check one, two, three. real is real. Dorothy was in Oz, Alice was in Wonderland, but they couldn't take any of thier friends to the place that only existed in thier dreams.
into your hands...
I flew
no blame
fear
lack of trust
no game
no atrocities needed, no suffering
a feast offered
an invitation accepted
she said she would
and so she did
the truth can set us free
you said it
Love and Forgiveness
freely given
to anyone who chooses the reality of that dream
the point of Easter
has anything changed?
I still Love
I refuse to suffer because
I can't because...
freed from the inhumanity of illusions
by Love
the adventures of a reluctant...
name branded she
forgives herself but can never
forget him
is this how it ends?
no one else could have written it
~
that real is real
leaves no room for miracles
or imagination
if you think
it's all in your head
that it's somehow impossible
to be any other way
then
guess what
through the looking glass you go
creating your own limitations
based on what you think you see
in the mirror
then what you see
will indeed be
what you get
peace to you
may your dreams come true
Hi SK, Happy Easter to you,
Sorry the family aren't with you, but good for nk to see her family and friends,bet they can't wait to see her and the 3 gorgeous girls.
Hope the Easter Bunny came to you all this week. I must have been good (or so he/she thought) as it visisted me today. Will be enjoying some chocolato with some champers tonite.
Are u packed yet? Don't forget extra everything. Good luck with all the new security at airport, hope it will be hassell free. Hope all the planes go on or near on time (r they ever on time?) and everything goes well for the tour. Bet you're excited about seeing the twillies again and all those beautiful European cities, lucky fella. If you need a porter to help with the bags put me up the top of the list of volunteers.
Take care and have a good rest the next few days, before the URCH storm across Europe.
Safe & happy travelling to u & the boys.
Love & Peace,
Therese
Just read comments about Martys mum, let him know he is in all the fiends thoughts and prayers.
Lost my Dad 29th March 5 yrs ago, that day was also Good Friday then.
Now it's like 2 anniversaries think of him passing on both days, and since then Good Fri the last few yrs has been raining like the day he passed away.
Therese
Another Easter joke for you:
What did Jesus say to the disciples as he was nailed to the cross?
"Don't touch my fuckin' eggs! I'll be back on Sunday!"
