Graham Michael Drake's online journal I'm just going with the flow. |
It seems that I'm not
alone, as I've experimented
with the potential of a diary on the Web, a sort
of 'weblog',
for exploring shattered-beliefs and, as yet, unfulfilled-dreams
and found myself at a time, now, where I'm enjoying doing something positive.

Moving Finger writes; and, having writ,
Moves on: nor all thy Piety nor Wit
Shall lure it back to cancel half a Line,
Nor all thy Tears wash out a Word of it."

Thanks to those who have been there for me of late
and given me so much
support, kindness and a nudge, when most needed.

Friday 19th December 2003
Received the first three Modules
of a "Certificate in Life Coaching"
'remote learning'
training course.
Monday 15th December
Started reading (properly, but slowly)
The Spiritual Dimension of the Enneagram—Nine Faces of the Soul
by Sandra
Maitri.
Wednesday 26th November
Tested as an Enneagram 5 at
Tickle,
but why do I want to be a 9,
and was led astray by the superb range of Tests
that are also available on
their site.
Sunday 23rd November
I took the 'full test' at The
Enneagram Institute
and was kindly offered another, free go, in a couple
of weeks,
when my head should be more focused,
as both the 5 and 7 were equally prominent.
Wednesday 19th November
Enjoyed a session of readings from my 70s copy of the
Lüscher Test
and was pleased that I hadn't
varied much.
Monday 3rd November
I started to read an article on 'New
Age' concepts,
and was intrigued to be led to
The Enneagram.
Wednesday 20th August
My Wife, Sylvia, after handing me a very large Brandy,
informed me that she
was exchanging me for another bloke.
Saturday 16th August
Our
Son Michael,
treated me to the wonderful new LP,
greendale from Neil
Young,
via
play.com,
OK, it's really a CD + video DVD.
Saturday
19 July
I enjoyed listening to a 2002 radio
chat with J.
J. Cale.
Friday 11 July
Found out that Warren Zevon's
last/final album 'The
Wind' will be released in August and
while I'm personally "Still Looking for the Next Best
Thing"
I also saw that there is something new from
Leonard Cohen soon.
Friday 27 June
Received a nice return E-mail from Al Kooper.
Thursday 26 June
Took advantage of my explorations of the Internet,
at a leisurely pace, via
our new found Broadband connection,
to send an E-mail to Al
Kooper
thanking him for his contribution to my life.
As a long time listener to Bob
Harris,
it seems that I now fall into the 'Classic Rock' category
when browsing the
numerous Internet Radio Stations,
such
as Planet Rock,
DR Rock
and Station6070S,
while Media Player has me as 'Folk Essentials'
when Radio@Netscape Plus has
me as 'Psychedelic'
but it all adds to my life's list
of meta tags...
John Mayall, a
Psychedelic Macclesfield Man... Mmm.
Monday 16 June 2003
While I've long-time enjoyed my 'dial-up' Cix
Internet connection,
I've recently also taken the jump to 'NTL' Broadband
and I'm intrigued about how to best 'freely' promote the Cix concept further.

Graham's sort of stuff,
