I go running along the streets
regularly and burn up 300 calories of belly blubber per run. I can only do it
with music in my ears....to blot out the sound of my desperate panting. One
song on my mp3 player has helped me along countless times and has inspired an
abstract painting.
I have three routes depending on my mood. One is on
the tow path along the local canal but it's rather boring - one long winding path,
flat water and trees. To counter the boredom I like to disappear into a dream-like
world and put on Float On by The Floaters (using the repeat facility.) It drops me
into a floaty, trance-like world for some reason and
I forget I'm running. I've done a small quick abstract, astral intangible
painting with it in mind. Here it is on a bit of wood board I found in a skip.
I love this 1977 song due to the bass guitar. I
have a version nearly twelve minutes long and tweak the sounds effects to feel the
bass guitar pumping down through my chest. The link to the song is below. Those
Detroit dudes remind me of those black dudes you see in porn films with massive
one foot long dicks.

I just made up this painting as I went along. One
evening I did a soft surreal background using pastel colours and the next
morning I added those two blocks. They seems to floating along nicely. Nonsensical
paintings like this can sell at auctions for hundreds of thousands of pounds/dollars
so this is a bargain at only £88,444.
