Language is such a bitch, very much in the way that one person's "bitch" is another's "naughty word". It's just as subjective as philosophy, religion or social standing, and yet it's one of the key things that's supposed to keep us all united in the same frame of reference.In the flashback portion of this post,...

Some hours after my last feeble attempt at begging for attention using words oft found in your local dictionary, I managed to cast off the shackles of monotony and - by extention - stop using clichés by entering into the social realm of public houses, or rather public house, singular. This allowed me an opportunity... Continue Reading →

Having to live as an adult - because "overgrown child" isn't as acceptable in modern day society - means I'm rapidly running out of time to do nice things. The arduous tasks of going to classes, self-imposed studying, buying food, cooking food, eating food, defecating, cleaning, tidying, walking, even waking just seem to occupy every...

Today is National Poetry Day, and to mark this ground-breaking, monumet-crushing, planet-annihilating event, I've produced a poem based around this year's obligatory theme: Games. Read this and understand why poetry is not necessarily my forte. Also try and make sense of it.The Game Of LifeThere is no box.There is no picture on the box.There are... Continue Reading →

October 5, 2011Dear friend,       It's been two weeks since my last one of these to you. I'm sorry. I really wanted to do one every Wednesday but missed last week's self-imposed deadline. I suppose normally that would mean I'd have an awful lot to write about now, but to be honest, I'm still struggling. I... Continue Reading →

Living without the Internet means I have a limited time to do words here. Also it means I end up feeling lost and lonely at every opportune moment. Whenever I hit a period of relative boredom, my default setting is to fire up Facebook and stare longingly at it to amuse me. However, without the... Continue Reading →

Trying to stick to a schedule is difficult, especially when you haven't even started it yet. In my pursuit of wanting to make this place buzzing and constant and other words I can't be bothered to pull out of my head right now, I've decided to do something on here every Wednesday in an attempt...

I spent most of last night (I say "last night", it was really 1am, thus, early today, but for the sake of now existing in a totally different stream of consciousness, what is technically today will henceforth be known as "last night") reading over a bunch of my older posts on this 'ere incarnation of...

The world is a mighty confusing place. So much so that this particular rant should've technically been written some three days ago, but at the time, I had nothing to say on the subject and yesterday afternoon's "hunger and loneliness" vibes proved too strong to be shunned. Anyway, I was going to write this thing... Continue Reading →

I made dinner three-and-a-half hours ago and I still haven't eaten it. That said, I ate half of it originally and will, soon after finishing this, have to resort to entrusting the microwave to cook it again for me. In the time in between then and now I've had a shower, writhed around in pain... Continue Reading →
