Dis Clam ‘ere
Alabaster Crippens doesn't entirely believe in objective truth, therefore he can neither confirm or deny the accuracy of any statement, image or impression caused by, or displayed on, these pages of the so called 'internet'. He does however not want to get sued, even if the lawyers, legal system, and the concept of jurisprudence doesn't exist. Therefore if you believe the nonsense posted on here you do so entirely at your own risk. In other words: Don't sue me 'cause I might not mean it. Basically, anything you hear from anyone is unreliable, so if you want the 'truth' you need the perspectives of as many people as you can get..ideally people who are trustworthy and close to the particular 'truth' you wish to inspect. If you start trusting idiots with silly (and obviously made up) names then you're developing some kind of problem. Check your sources, examine their own politcal (or other) motivation, remember that anything people say is opinion unless you are certain that they speak the 'truth'. Even your own eyes can lie. Trust me on that one. Or don't..it doesn't bother me. Finally, everything written here is, to the best of my knowledge written by me and I reserve my right to be recognised as the author of these works. Any input from other sources should be clearly shown, if you note a mistake or anything..tell me..I'll try and sort out the problem. Please ask me if you want to use anything for commercial reasons...I probably won't mind but I need to know I'm not supporting anything I don't want to support. This is an attempt at a legal notice written without legal knowledge. Just follow the principles, I think most of you get what I mean, even if it won't stand up in a court of law. Just be polite you know...like in the good ole days.

Life is Art – Dancing in Circles around the Universe
So, time to get spiritual on your ass. Maybe. A certain Robin, who’s been on my blog surfer for a while, though I can’t remember how I found the site, posted a very thoughtful prayer/meditation from World Prayers. I like … Continue reading

Dis Trope ‘Ere – Some thoughts on Screwed up Societies in SciFi
So, I’m anxiously anticipating the arrival of the sheer insanity that acts a a spiritual successor to one of my favourite games ever. Bioshock is imminent, the videos are actually quite scary, and some of the ideas at play here … Continue reading
A Peal Four Scents
The bells, the bells. Anyway. Basically, I (being the subversive I am) use Pandora despite not being entirely based in America (I do however have the ability to find out zip codes), and so I’ve been informed of some apparently … Continue reading

Great Expectations -What You Want, What You Need
Some things circling my head right now. A lack of parity somewhere. Some personal stuff I can’t spew out of respect for certain people’s privacy, and some broader stuff that came out of a discussion with Fanny last night. In … Continue reading

Of A Certain Type – A Transition from Stereo to Omnidirectional
So, I realise this may offend some, and I apologise if it sounds like I’m criticising communities of which I’m not a part…but I just want to raise some things that I find baffling about various movements and communities. Remember … Continue reading

The Terrification of Expectation
I’ve just read the most flattering review of this blog I’ve ever had. I’m pretty much speechless to be honest. I don’t think I deserve the praise, especially from someone who seems to be capable of praising me in a … Continue reading

Mything the Point – Through the Eyes of a Child
Curtis has a great article over here. I’ve already posted an essay I did on Myth and History, although it doesn’t make much sense and will probably ruin a great book for you if you read it. Still…I linked it … Continue reading
Ideal Role Exhibition – A Message for Men?
So, I was thinking. As a man, I exist in the dominant societal role. I am in a position of strength, and the way society expects me to act is dominant, controlling, powerful and strong. Basically, it means that the … Continue reading

Command and Conquer – Blah blah blah
So, I’m going to play the new C’n’C game because we’ve got it at work. I wasn’t impressed with Tiberian Sun, but I enjoyed RA2. Having said that…RA2 had the dubious pleasure of managing to offend me at the very … Continue reading

Communication has been a struggle all day
And not just because I’m tired. I found out from Whabbit’s post…couldn’t sleep much thinking about it. Woke up this morning and did some reading. It was when I saw a note telling the families of students where to go … Continue reading

Forever the End of the World
Just a little musical note. You read certain things in music reviews and you just take them for granted. Then occasionally you realise that they are spot on. I always read about the Super Furry Animals having Beach boys style … Continue reading

Crushed beneath the Think Tanks
Phantomias has decided to goad me. I’ve already turned my nose up at this, and now he decides to nominate me. He’s asking for trouble…and I’m slightly intoxicated when I shouldn’t be. Trouble is a foot. Well….my feet are trouble … Continue reading
