Okay, these two things are exactly the same:
1) Becoming good friends with someone knowing they are about to leave for six months.
2) Getting into Pete Doherty when it looks like he might drop dead at any second.
I chose to do both. There are many other times that I have known that things would end less than preferably and have still dived in head first - those stories populate former posts; feel free to trawl through the archives as I always say.
Pete Doherty's new material seems far better than anything I've ever heard from him before. I keep finding new tracks, thinking 'I really won't like this' and being proved wrong. I am not jumping on any bandwagons as far as I know, I don't think anyone's particularly more enamoured with his new stuff than his old. My saddening disenchantment with the NME has led me to care not what they say any longer, so I don't know about them.
As far as my good friend goes... I hope he has a wonderful time.
You have to go and find your life, don't you. It's never just there.
Not for most people. Oh, and I have no regrets.
Hope it's all going well for whoever reads this.
Sq.
