So, be warned, this may not be my most forward thinking post, but I’ve been thinking about the contradictions inherent in myself recently, and thought writing about them, whilst posting some relevant videos might be something I could do on a Sunday. Apologies if I offend.
Anyway, here’s my confession. I absolutely adore sassy, sexually [...]

Careful everybody, this could be a bit of a bumpy ride.
I’ve been reading up on the objectification in porn arguments again. Some interesting and potentially controversial points show up here, and lead me to here.
So there’s a lot of talk about objectification here. A couple of things that stand out to me are the following:
‘Objectification [...]

So, it’s miles off from the full moon and everything’s gone a little weird.
I think I’m having fun. In principle at least.
I keep on not thinking about what I’m saying and just splurging random sentences based on things I can see or smell or am remembering. Poor Mr Subliminal had to put up with me [...]

It’s time to act like I’m older and more prudish than I actually am.
Though I do mean it.
Basically there was an article in the Education Guardian yesterday about young kids and porn.
There’s a lot of stuff in there..it’s one of those slightly irritating articles that doesn’t go into any detail about anything. It raises a [...]

So, this is about a lot of discussions I have with people. It’s about music, but it’s not going to be just like my random reviews of music. I want to look in a bit more depth at why I like music so much, and some of the kind of processual analysis of music that [...]

So, last post I looked at the detachment of reality and media images of reality, and generally pondered how much our view of reality is shaped by media sources. This is a simple and obvious statement…the medium is indeed the massage…or whatever.
What keeps on striking me though is how blatant the cinema industry is at [...]

So, this could be long, and it might actually even be a two parter, as I want to get back to Brighton soon. Unfortunately I want to start writing now. I had a wonderful new year…including Ska and Mountains and really enjoying being stranded in the middle of Wales with a bunch of people I [...]

Of course, I didn’t shoot Andy Warhol, at least not in this life.
But I’ll get back to that later.
First, a warning. This is going to be another of my long rambling rambles. I am not going to restrain the free wandering nature of my mind. It is also potentially a very controversial post. I’m going [...]

So. I work in an internet cafe/gaming cafe. This means that I get to watch and listen to people getting very excited about computer games. Regular readers will be aware that I enjoy playing games, but to be honest..since I’ve started here I’ve played less. I prefer the solo experience (insert onanism innuendo here) and [...]

So, this is going to be a bit scatty even by my standards. Loads of stuff keeps on flying through my mind the last few days…I’m just going to jot some bits and pieces down to keep the desperate howling hounds at bay (Sahil…I mean you).
This isn’t one of the big articles I have planned. [...]

Before I start I’m going to make it clear that before my blog gets too highbrow (two posts in a row not about being drunk? what are the odds) I will be utilising the words bum, poo and willy as often as possible during the following, rather more serious discussion. I will also probably get [...]

God…that title looks boring.
Anyway, basically, I’m going to do a half arsed version of an essay I’ve been intending to do for ages. But because its Sunday, I’m not going to do any research, and I’m probably going to stop halfway through to start tidying up my room.
Still, at least I’ve got an NWA quote [...]

So, after yesterday’s post accidentally slipped into a maudlin meditation on my musical needs. I ended up sending an e-mail that carried on talking about music even more. I’m just reposting a chunk of what I said there here. Then I’m going to carry on talking about music.
That Okay with you crazy kids?
Good.
It just came [...]

So, first up the good bit. I’ve finished my Nano. Well that’s not entirely true. I got to the 50K boundary after which I could call myself a winner. I dived over the cliff and through the finish line with a wonderful woman I have never met called CJ (I know her name but believe [...]
