About Me
I am a hedonist (actually a head-off-ist if you believe the psychiatric mumbo-jumbo labellers of Bipolar Affective/Effective Disorderees) poet/polymath who believes very much in the Headline: Life is here to be Enjoyed and not Endured whatever one's circumstances. My first official publication entitled A Time for Reflection - a collection/anthology of poems/lyrics is on the point of bursting out of the printer's sausage-factory onto the shelves of unsuspecting book-shops initially in UK and USA (publishers are New World) priced at £9.99/$16.95 (soon to be available as an e-book) - but a copy and stop a riot ... it's authored by Crazy Al Murray a.k.a. Maddogmurray (i.e. me) in order to, amongst other things, stop the thieving magpie, multi-manifested mogul marauderers (banks and other authorities) dipping their nosey-beaks into the proceeds thereof.I used to be part of the mainstream (except I can't swim very well) 9.2.5 2.5 children world of convention - no wonder Frank Zappa opted out early - but had an epiphany of cataclysmic proportions and chose to temporarily lose (or misplace) everything (including my marbles if you believe the conventional 3-D world psycho-babyloners). Although still vaguely in contact with the terrestrial world on fleeting occasions, viz. physical presence in Barnstaple, North Devon, England, but, more often, tripping around the galaxy in an Ecstatic exploration of the Moebius strip that earthlings know as the Time quantum.Some of my written stuff may be pre-viewed on www.poets.com inder my monica MADDOGMURRAY - you can enter the site as a spectator without having to pay a joining fee.I am about to launch my enterprise called the UNION OF WISE-MEN-TALISTS (a cooperative, communist, collective, kibbutz, christian, collaboration - n.b. all with lower-case initial letters) - more of this later and on other site(s). Also launching a ensemble of piratical musicians called The Big Noise Explosion - which is a confluence of multi-talented, multi-skilled, multi-styled, multi-cultural, non-sectarian, multi-ethnic, non-discriminatory people linked by the common glue of MUSIC. Please check out the latest offering from THE MAN (Our Lord Bob Dylan) and his Modern Times - if you can aspire anywhere near his genius then you are, indeed, a water pedestrian also. This can be simply achieved in Barnstaple - but it is a trick and utilises the huge differential betwixt high and low tides. Anyway THE MAN has managed to park himself (or part of himself) in my head for the best part of 45 years as a most welcome tele-kinetic/tele-pathic/astro-travelling lodger. He correspondingly has got bits of me stuck in his psyche - in fact he probably wrote The Bible in English in the year 2525, had it translated back into ancient Hebrew, trans-migrated it across the Moebius strip and caused the Dead Sea Scrolls to be discovered all those milli-years ago - not bad for a spare-time job!!!Q. Why did the chicken cross the road?
A. 'Cos she'd heard that there was a man laying bricks on the other side and she was intrigued to see what happened!!
Which came first, the chicken or the dickin? It's no yolk when you're cock-of-the-rock. What do you do if your chicken goes on strike? Pull it. Ugh!!!Am just having a brief respite in S-W London having had 4 months of Combing the Devon Coombes with my myriad of Trolley Dollies. Currently resident in a boat-house by the River Taw on the out-skirts of Barnstaple. I may be observed on the web via a webcam - http://www.bbc.co.uk/devon/webcams/barnstaple_bypass.shtml - fortunately there are only stills so the chances of catching me up to no good are slim!Enough of this for now - would those of you in North Devon please keep their eyes peeled for a dark blue Ford Mondeo, registration plate M151 FEU - this is my vehicle, but has been misappropriated by my erstwhile "partner in crime" and I would very much appreciate knowing of its whereabouts so that I may recapture it (I have a set of keys still). There will be a reward for any information leading to its reclamation (please call 07941 586 597 or e-mail me).If you're going to do it then over-do it. MDME
