Greetings,

It is with great regret that I have to inform you of the recent demise of CD who came to an untimely end on the 3rd November. We will not see his likes again perving his way about the tube whilst keeping an eye on organised chicanery and girlie fashion in old London towne. The addled annelids simply ceased to malfunction, the noxious cerebrospinal fluid no longer able to sustain the wrigglers that propagated and perpetuated the multiple personalities. I for one will miss them; they gave me hours of fun particularly in the summer of 2005 when the bizarre abounded. Events shape us, especially cruel ones and David was dealt, what proved to be, the fatal blow back in the spring. With the assistance of good friends George, Mick, Charlie and Brenda a new outlook was found and the end was in sight. A great love was reborn, one that evil can never harm again.

What you saw is what they were, accurate reflections. Submerged in a world of human observation and heavy punk tunes, a maverick now expatriated to a Damp Cave. I can’t tell you how much I pissed myself laughing writing that shit over the last 18 months. Thanks to all who commented and I’m glad that so many enjoyed it, it’s worrying that some thought it pretty normal and ‘what we all think’ anyway. Ah well, life moves inexorably on, new challenges and experiences. Best not look back and reminisce.

Slip inside the eye of your mind
Don’t you know you might find
A better place to play

Better, for sure. A new chapter begins, Carpe Diem.

Many years have come and gone
I've lived my life, but now must move on
(Gather ye rosebuds while ye may)
She is my only one, now that my time has come
Now that my life is done, we look into the sun
"Seize the day and don't you cry, now it's time to say good-bye
Even though, I'll be gone, I will live on, live on"

The end, of Dream Theater indeed.
