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 [...]

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 of talk about objectification here. A couple of things that stand out to me are the following:
‘Objectification [...]

Idea Compost – The Androgyne Spirituality of the Berdache

Edit: Just did some further reading and the preferred term for Berdache is Two Spirit (Berdache is etymologically Spanish in origin and has negative connotations…however, I don’t want to say ‘Spirituality of the Two Spirit’ as it’s repetitive. More information here.)
So, just read an amazing post by V. There are some aspects of feminism a [...]

So Many Answers

Posted on 2 April 2007. Filed under: Everything, Meme, Questions, Thoughts, life |

Recently I got tagged (voluntarily) for a meme that got a little out of control. Not in a bad way though…It was actually incredible fun all the way down the line.
Anyway, it started with five questions…and then suddenly I was asking questions to everybody. Now, this is all good, and it got me a lot [...]

Photo Jenny and the Eye of the Beholder

Posted on 20 March 2007. Filed under: Beauty, Everything, Haircuts, Me, Memories, News, Perception, Philosophy, Photogenic, Photography, Racism |

So, among other things I’ve been reading a bit more news than usual. Particularly the Guardian because it’s what I read generally, if only because I’d happily pay the cover price for getting to read whose Birthday it is (and raising an ale to anyone I respect…if possible) and the Quick Crossword…that makes me feel [...]

Lots of Inspirational things have been driving my way in the last twenty four hours or so. Not least of all is a wonderfully thoughtful webcomic called Copper. Seemingly just about a clever dog and his wise young master and their path through life. I’ve never seen anything so cute that manages to be as [...]

Music has been treating me grand recently.
After a less than satisfying set on Saturday (not enough people there that early, and only about fifteen to twenty minutes of the set really worked….the ending was rushed, I thought it was getting better but I tried to squeeze too many songs into the end of my set…they [...]

Perchance to Wake? – The Science of Sleep

So, indeed, I did watch the Science of Sleep the night before last. I enjoyed it massively, in fact it was an incredibly personally affective film for me. A little nerve-wracking almost, for all the naive silliness that goes on. I’ll explain in a moment.
First off let me mention that the french title is shown [...]

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 [...]

Intellectual Detachment – Emotions (are) for Idiots

So, in my previous article on The Squid and the Whale, I commented on the fact that intellectualising stuff can make emotional experiences more troublesome, stressful, painful and more difficult to react to.
I think I actually succeeded in entirely detaching myself from the fact that it’s been a problem I’ve had for ages. It [...]

hair everywhere said 10 minutes ago:I haven’t been up to much these days. Such is life. I’ve just been letting everything happen without me these days, but I don’t care.
That was it. It cropped up in my ‘My comments’ page. It was underneath a conversation I’d had ages ago about gerrymandering, and proportional [...]

So.
I’ve just noticed as I listen to the music I currently hear pouring into my ears, that there is a common theme between the music, and the reason why I love the film I watched last night so much.
People…the way people talk and communicate… the importance and power of the tiniest moments and things.
This may [...]

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 what does the future hold.
A recent discussion with a certain archivist led me to do some thinking about what the future holds. In fact a lot of things have been making me think about the future, including the fact that I’m currently typing on Michael’s Soft Vee Star or something. (The future has been [...]

    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.
