Depressing Results from Online Quiz - Just What I Needed

Picked this up from HPS…what’s my ‘dating persona’?
Oh joy I’m:
The Manchild
Random Brutal Love Dreamer (RBLD)
    Hopeful. Awkward. Soft-headed. [...]

Buggered Sore like a Hobo’s Whore

So, yesterday I was slightly rollercoaster.  Upset, downset, left, right, unset. I cheered up in the evening but only by the time that I was supposed to be sleeping. This means I’ve shot myself in the foot as far as today is concerned. Today I’m working for about ten hours of the day, until ten, [...]

Blue Sky Thinking

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 [...]

I am from

So, this has been doing the rounds. Archie said he wanted to see what other men would do with it. I’m not necessarily typical but I kinda want to oblige.
Update: Justin did one. I like it. Different, more in the present maybe. I like it.
Here goes:
I am from a large town that claims to be [...]

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 [...]

Odd Porn Spam - Too Much Information

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 [...]

Weirdness and Boredom

I don’t really have much to say today. I’ve been being contemplative, but don’t really want to explain to all of you the intricacies of my problems, mostly because they all involve other people and that can cause trouble.
I guess I’ve just been distracted. I’m getting more sleep than last week but still feel run [...]

I’m Always Feeling Sinister

So, I recently re-acquired Belle and Sebastian’s ‘classic’ album, ‘If You’re feeling Sinister‘. This is a good thing. I adore this album. There’s several reasons for this, but first a bit of history.
You see, I’ve never owned a copy of this album, but I’ve borrowed it from various people at various times in my life. [...]

Wrestling With the Wind - With Waves

Ah yeah. I love Brighton.
Got out of work at midday and headed straight to the beach to check out the full intensity of the wind. Oh, it was wonderful.
Such wind. Current forecasts indicate 46 mph wind, but apparently this morning it was more like 80. Plus that’s probably inland. The sea was entirely mental.
Anyway, I [...]

Yield To Total Elation

Indeed I will, I shall and I have been for the last hour.
The track (YTTE by Matmos) is only 9 minutes and seven seconds long. It is rare that I repeat a track this many times. But it’s just so damn good. Before I start talking about the music though..a bit of background.
Here’s what the [...]

Day…Today…Indeed

I had a day today. Not quite finished it yet, but I thought I’d jot some thoughts down as I’ve been quiet for a coupla days.
I got practically no sleep, with what I did get performed entirely in stops and starts. I need to figure out a good way of forcing myself to sleep…but forcing [...]

Tired and Ill but still thinking too much - Lies and Fantasies and Raising Children

So, this is being written while I’ve got something resembling a cold. Also my guts are churning and my head is screwed. I may not be on top form. However, I am also trapped in work and this is the only time I have to use the internet. We are very busy and everybody is [...]

Did I shoot Andy Warhol?

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 [...]

I am a Wanker but I Forgot

So, for the second time in one week I’ve woken up with virtually no idea what I did towards the end of the night. No idea.
I can only assume I was being a wanker. This happens to me a lot.
Anyway, anyone with clues as to how big a tit I was being last night, should [...]

Venetian Snares - Hospitality

New record in the post.
Oh my word. I’ve already heard most of it before. But now I’m getting to consider it properly. This is the good shit. Sorry if all of my music reviews lately have been Breakcore related..I promise to write about other stuff eventually.
Also, if you prefer less music related posts…check out yesterday’s [...]
