The new balance

So much for all that "last post" nonsense. As people have been asking, here's a link to my Voice123.com profile, where you can hear me talking in my serious and silly voices.

I'm hoping to get some voiceover work using this as my showreel, so if you know anyone who wants their answerphone message doing (or a nice, long, expensive car commericial would be nice), please send them my details! I'm competing with Harlan Hogan and, naturally John Briggs, self-styled "on-air male" of Weakest Link fame.

I will be posting on my Travel Blog for a while. It is much easier for me to update, simply by sending it e-mail. It's address is simply blog.jdv.me.uk so you can find it and bookmark it easily.

If I think of anything which doesn't relate to travel, and if I have the time, I might still post here. But for the moment, the Travel Blog is the place to be!

Something I found on Quora (try it: you'll love it) which made me think I might be on the right track!

'Weep and you weep alone! - What a lie this is! Weep and you will find a million crocodiles to weep with you. The world is forever weeping. The world is drenched in tears... But joy, joy is a kind of ecstatic bleeding, a disgraceful sort of contentment which overflows from every pore of your being. You can't make people joyous by being joyous yourself. Joy has to be generated by oneself: it is or it isn't. Joy is founded on something too profound to be understood or communicated.

To be joyous is to be a madman in a world of sad ghosts.'

-Henry Miller
