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.

Mounting Darkness and Creative Destruction on the Dark Mountain – Uncivilisation 2012
To civilise is to build. To uncivilise is to destroy? I may just be tired, but I actually feel very lost. Last year’s Dark Mountain Uncivilisation Festival made me grounded and full hearted, my mind swirling with ideas. This year, … Continue reading

The Unbearable Darkness of Mountains – Uncivilisation 2011
Last night, as the sun set, I wandered into the woods. Dosed up with Valerian and on barely any sleep (third hangover of the year, too soon after the second) I was already hazy, and I became totally and utterly … Continue reading

Declaring Dependence
So, I’ve recently been feeling a little out of myself. Or rather, quite in myself, but unable to reach out of myself. Trouble communicating. Even though I’ve been writing a shed load for nano (still barely ahead of schedule, but … Continue reading

Intense (No Tents) – Loop Festival 2009 and my body dichotomy (Somewhat)
So, it’s been a while. But lets not linger any longer, for there is business to attend to and I am stealing someone’s wires to send this out. When I sat down, I wanted to write a review two acts … Continue reading

It’s all in the Execution – Art with Heart
Corner of my bedroom, complete with Manet’s Execution of Emporer Maximillian and a Lichtenstien with a title I can’t find. First up, apologies for the puns in the title, sometimes (most times) I just can’t help myself. Right. Art. Hmm. … Continue reading

I Could Eat your Heart – Micachu & the Shapes @ the Freebutt
This is one of the most difficult things for me to write that I’ve written in a long time. I’m not sure if it’s better to leave the whole thing to settle before I write, or maybe not write anything … Continue reading

What a Fucken Creep
Amanda Palmer rumbling around a noisy bar playing creep on a Uke. There’s better audio available elsewhere, but there’s something gorgeous about the environment and the wandering. And the way people actually shut up sometimes. And then get involved. Right. … Continue reading

Self and Determination – Me and my Gender

Where is the left? – One hand can’t find the other as Capitalism Collapses
Okay. A current conversation with the lovely PaulGrahamRaven on twitter is goading me into writing a piece I wanted to write a while back. This is going to get messy. And maybe it should. Also, first up. A confession/analysis regarding … Continue reading

On Consumption – Love, the Universe, a Hairy Thing
Okay, so first, a little thing I wrote in my notepad a month or so ago whilst drunk on a train down to Torquay. Just needed to do something creative, and thought I’d ponder some of my more pathetic/romantic sensibilities. … Continue reading

S’late
It is. Shouldn’t be writing but the urge is grabbing me. I think I’m just trying to put off making the bed. It’s a task I hate, despite the rewards. Clean sheets, cosy wrap, and that neatness of building a … Continue reading

Gut Wrench
There is a hole in the pit of my gut. A huge writhing knot of dark matter twisting and turning and hurting. I actually couldn’t make it in to work today because of a full on stomach cramp. I’ve been … Continue reading

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

I’ve Got an Idea – A Kiss to Build a Dream On
I think I might finally have a clue what I’m going to do with my Script Frenzy. An idea I like that I think would be best dealt with in visual form. I’m not going to go into great deal … Continue reading
