Door & a promising author!

The first week back at work after a 2 week holiday, and it seems as though I was never away. Of course work remains "a four letter word" and at the end of the day I still wonder how much value it has to the great scheme of life.
I mention this because for the life of me all I ever do is think of it in terms of material gain, with little in the way of spiritual enlightenment. Maybe that's just me; perhaps such a thought arises from it being a form of economic enslavement, which means we haven't progressed that far. Anyway, that's too deep a discussion to be having early on a Sunday afternoon, which I believe is supposed to be a day of rest and the question of work shoved deep into the dark recesses of what passes for a brain.
I spent a few hours with Door yesterday, Saturday, and we had a number of philosophical discussions, so quite serious, not that it matters. Mind you such discussions are full of pitfalls and Door's superior intellect shone thru' as it often does, I not being much of an articulate bod. Anyhow, that aside, as I take Door's words of splendid wisdom extremely serious, I spent the best part of the night wide awake, rolling Door's thoughts around in my head, which whilst suffering from the urgent need to shut down, also decided that sleep wasn't an option so I ended up in some kind of surreal no man's land. I'm not sure if I want to do that again, but at least it sorted out a few doubts I had, one being that my brain does actually function. Now there's a scary thought!
A few days before my bout of intellectual stimulation with Door I met another friend, who for some weird reason thinks I've got the potential to write readable books, and over a beer, or 2, decided we're going to publish the book I've written; a comedy based on a man trying to discover if he's ever been in love. I'm all for it, and my friend's very enthusiastic, well you are when you've had a beer or 2. However, will keep you posted on the trials and tribulations of publishing a book by a promising author; it's my blog and I'm allowed to dream.
