to the waters and the wild
with a faery, hand in hand,
for the world's more full of weeping
than you can understand...

aww, jeah...

I thought I was the only person in the world who remembered Star Fleet. Tonight, I found out I was wrong. Colour me hyped.

If you think Star Fleet's synonymous with Kirk et al... don't go here. But if you remember Lamia, and sang along, send the message out across the sky.. http://users.zeronet.co.uk/z1010796/starfleet/multimedia/index.htm is the place for you. .mp3's of the opening and closing themes, plus of some four of the episodes themselves.

Excuse me while I revert to a hyper ten-year-old.

Send the message out across the sky:
Alien raiders just passed Gemini,
Who will come to save us now?
Who can defend us from their power?

Star Fleet, Star Fleet...
Star Fleet, Star Fleet...

Tell the people back at Earth Control,
Send Star Fleet legions to save our souls.
Always daring and courageous...
Oh, only they can save us...

Star Fleet, Star Fleet...
Star Fleet, Star Fleet...
Star Fleet!

Have you ever... quested? Set out on a search, determined not to stop until you found it? Set your sights on something, no matter what it was, and told yourself, I won't stop until I find it? Have you ever given yourself over, completely and totally, to something?

... Now, has that something ever been completely for you?

I'm listening to friends, lately, and realising that somewhere along the line, we get taught, we accept, that it's only okay to give ourselves over to something that benefits someone else directly. A job. Security for our children. And those are wonderful things to commit to... but there's more, and sometimes you have to go out and find it, y'know?
