By the time these words are pushed into public display in this digital ether, the American people of America will have chosen their leader for the next few years. Will they pick someone who's pretty bad, or someone who's horrifically bad? Heck, why is that even a question? You already know the answer. I don't.... Continue Reading →

The thing about drinking (alcohol, that is) is that it's a social activity. Drinking water is a different thing - that's more a sustenance/staying alive requirement. But the sensation of drinking to lower inhibitions and trigger conversation is generally best done around other people. I'm not around other people in a social capacity anywhere near...

No I still didn't plan ahead. Am I going to now? Well, no, not really. I've got things to pack. That's not as dramatic as it sounds, by the way. I'm not fleeing the country or running away to start a new life in a dreary town as a vagrant in a bus shelter. I... Continue Reading →

The problem with this is that I often leave it until Tuesday night before sitting down to actually write something, and by then it's often something hastily cobbled together in a desperate attempt to get it over and done with. Like right now. I often come up with actual ideas of things I could include,... Continue Reading →

There's nothing I'd like more than to skip this for a bit. Just until I get my head into gear. There's too many things going on in my head and I don't even feel capable of concentrating on anything from one day to the next. But I won't ditch this. I'll post something. It won't...

The weird combination of artificial heat and crisp, fresh coldness has come around again, what with it being early October and all. I've started to call this "back to school weather". Stepping out in the morning, when the day is bright but the sun's still low enough to be somewhat warm, is just lovely. And... Continue Reading →

It's frustrating knowing you need to just completely break down, hyperventilate and bawl your eyes out like there's no flippin' tomorrow, and yet you just can't. Again, I refer to "you", but I really just mean myself. Not much in the last week has changed, other than my willingness to burst into tears being constantly... Continue Reading →

Every day just feels like a bad dream. That's the recurring thought that strikes me every morning at least. Let's put my own depressing shit to one side for once. I often keep thinking to myself: "this planet is a fucking joke". Sadly, I've recently come to realise that this statement is false and I've... Continue Reading →

Here's some words. Here's some more words. Look. Words, words, words. I'm very good with words. I have the best words. It's the ideas that are the problem. Pardon me for falling back on a mental block again (or should I be falling over a mental block [or even just stubbing my toe on it... Continue Reading →

Thanks to technology that keeps track of all this shite, I can say with some degree of certainty that this is the 200th one of these things I've posted since starting this up in 2009. It doesn't seem like it's been seven-and-a-half years, but that's mostly because I took rather large break periods throughout what... Continue Reading →
