Born to do it!

foolish fat finger

22:50 / 07.07.06

I am currently reading Julian Cope's excellent double autobiog, 'Head-on/Repossed'...

at one point he says-
'I was born to apologise- I'm middle-class, that's what we do'
later he says 'I was born to take the piss'
and in the song 'Las Vegas Basement' he says-
'I was born to entertain...'

I thought, between these three Cope statements, you have some kind of a summary of the Arch-Drude's life; his porpoise and attitude...

so what were you born to do?

myself, I think I may well have been born to fuck-up in an interesting way... as well to take the piss, and apologise, obviously...

Let me put it like this. 10.2 seconds ago I was a hundreds yards over there.

I call you on that, Haus- you were sitting at your computer the whole time...

To be in the gutter, but looking at the stars.

Whisky Priestess

I was born to hang out with the stars, and worry that those in the gutter are having a much better time ...

Like so many others, I was born to pine for Steve...

I was born to post in this thread.

Now, I can die a happy man.

I was born to have a pot of Darjeeling with Alan Bennett while we discussed our successes in the life theatrical, possibly over an eccles cake, or, if things were going particularly well, a vanilla fancy.

I suppose that I'd better get my skates on then, hadn't I?

I was born to fuck. Ask anyone.

Saint Keggers

03:44 / 08.07.06

I did. My mom has no idea who you are.

Well, she wouldn't admit it to you.

I was born to smoke, drink cold beer and yearn for better times.

Saturn's nod

It appears I was born to do post-genomic molecular ecology. Honestly. I was surprised but the combination of biiig computers, massive data sets, and infinitely messy high-dimensional biological systems analysis, rocks my world. I've caught myself running into the office on Monday mornings out of sheer joy at least twice since I started this latest posting 9 weeks ago.

To see and to make. No real use to anyone really.

Depends what yer making, dunnit.

Apparently I was born to take progressively longer afternoon naps.

I was born to love you, Barbelith.

I was born to be wild. Like a true nature's child.

Really.

Nature, I feel I should confess, is horribly disappointed, and keeps trying to pretend I was adopted.

i was born to run....

really stabbystabby...? just born to run? what, tramps like you?!

I think I wasn't so much 'born to do it', as "born to work at 'do it all'"...

Umm, mess mainly.

i was born, born, born....

born to be alive.

o, patrick hernandez, such wisdom for a 70's pop song!

I was born to be the greatest artist the world has ever seen in my house.

Unconditional Love

07:45 / 10.07.06

I am born to be a rascal, at least for today.

Axolotl

16:43 / 10.07.06

Judging by my lack of success in the 21st Century I reckon I was probably born to do something that either doesn't happen yet, or maybe ceased to be useful. Matbe I was born to be a wicked smart cooper, or tune interstellar ion drives, or something similar.

Either that or born to whine.

Quantum

I was never born but from my mother's test tube untimely ripp'd, genetically engineered to consume ale and french fancies.

Mister Six, whom all the girls

17:10 / 10.07.06

I was born to make the most gut-wrenchingly horrific comments, and to host never ending sleep overs where I make pancakes for my friends and wear pajamas.

But in a previous century I think I'd do far better. I'd be a great servant (see pancake making added to my love of formal attire) but a better revolutionary (not to lead a revolution, more to kick things over and back up 'down with ____' statements).

I also think I was born to die. I think I'll do that very well, but it's no biggie if I fuck it up.

I was born to provide a satisfactory substitute for my older sibling who my parents were very dissapointed with.

I'm not sure, I was very dizzy at the time and forgot my instructions, having just been through a crossfire hurricane. Whatever that was.
