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.

Gimme Some Sass – Gender Funk
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 … Continue reading

Take a Picture – On Objects and Souls
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 … Continue reading

Das Booty Politick
So, I saw something on today’s hot posts on the front page, and hoped for it to be something it wasn’t. Then I thought that I haven’t written anything particularly political for a while (unless the Personal is political in … Continue reading

Conflusion
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 … Continue reading

What is the world coming to? – Kids Today
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 … Continue reading

It’s all in your head – Ways of Listening

Violence in Action – Or how I learnt to stop worrying and love the abuse of Human Rights
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 … Continue reading

Who’s reality is it anyway? – The Case of the Missing America (and the damn lies)
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 … Continue reading

Today I shall mostly be talking about…History – and probably getting it wrong, but who cares.
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 … Continue reading

“Life ain’t Nothing but Bitches and Money” – A half arsed discussion of Psychoanalytic and Marxist Criticism
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 … Continue reading

A Musical Meditation – Music Moves Me
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 … Continue reading
Ponderous Ramble – What Motivates Me and Makes Me Who Me Are?
