Disgusting people in this world.
Still feel smypathy for them, it’s hard not to. People end up having grown up with a warped and stunted view of socialisation. I’m not sure how it happens (though I have my suspicions) but some people seem unable to communicate wholly and fully, naturally and openly with other people.
Their goals, [...]

Nonsense.
Tricky post see. I’m having trouble communicating today. It’s very upsetting for me.
I keep on typing things wrong, like words entirely wrong. Totally unrelated to original word. I don’t like not being able to get my thoughts out quickly enough.
Probably just lack of sleep and stuff, so I’ll be briefish.
But yeah. All day, things have [...]

I love child things because there’s so much mystery when you’re a
child. When you’re a child, something as simple as a tree doesn’t make
sense. You see it in the distance and it looks small, but as you go
closer, it seems to grow ? you haven’t got a handle on the rules when
you’re a [...]

So, I’m a smelly person.
This has been pointed out to me by strangers and co-workers. This is a constant source of self esteem issues for me. The awareness that even if I look pretty and am charming,there is a cloud of atmosphere around me that may still make me unnattractive and unpleasant.
It’s not nice. I [...]

My mind is flighty this evening. Running too fast and too tired. All in the mind.
But I’ve been thinking, and an article about people following dreams and potentially changing the way creativity is composted, coupled with a meeting at work about my ‘personal development’, is leading me to thoughts about where I’m going in life.
And [...]

So, interesting day in the news today, various bits I could mention. But what struck me as something I wanted to talk about was this business about equality in careers advice.
Obviously, I think this is a good move. It’s ridiculous how gender biased some career expectations are, and it means that we end up with [...]

No. I’m not a doctor.
But anyway, I spent a chunk of today rereading stuff. This (actually last) year’s nano (the gender bending post modern psychoanalytic revolution….and a load of pretentious nonsense) and last year’s (actually the year before last’s) nano (the Norse deconstruction of love and loss….and a load of childish nonsense) both got a [...]

Huh - what?
Well.
Yesterday, I woke up, naked as usual. And I listened to In Rainbows, whilst lying in bed.
The whole morning (when I was supposed to be being productive) was devoted to ‘pleasures of the flesh’.
Not how it sounds. Honest.
Basically, I just lazed around naked listening to music.
I, and I don’t often believe this, am [...]

I feel alive today, like, really alive.
It was a long day at work, but in the middle of it I had to go to the other side of town (Hove, actually) for a brief training course.
The fire safety training was not exhilarating, but the walk there and back was.
I love walking, and I haven’t had [...]

I got this e-mail this morning, and thought I’d share.
hi, it’s Tim,
This is an email I hoped I would never have to send.
As you probably know, in July of 2007 we had to block usage of Pandora outside the U.S. because of the lack of a viable license structure for Internet radio [...]

Wow, that’s a weird title.
I think this is going to be a long and rambling weird one. I’ve been thinking about writing it for too long, and right now, a lot of peggle has made my eyes bleary and my head contorted.
Must be stuck in the Webternet Cafe then.
Anyway, basically, I’ve been pondering for a [...]

Just a real quickie. That I expect most people won’t care enough to provide answers for. I’ve got no time because I’ve got to do some Tai Chi, make some gnocchi, and all before RP at 2. Busy Sunday.
In the Nick Drake doco I mentioned recently, it was twice proposed that a love of Nick [...]

Morning.
I’ve been spending the last month, on and off, trying to figure out how the fuck the American political system works.
I think I’m finally starting to get it.
Well, I’m starting to understand the systems by which the Presidential candidates are chosen, which I imagine is the the tip of the iceberg, but a big [...]
