Happy in this World’s Stance of Indifference
Today has been a pretty normal Monday for me. Few shocks or surprises. A (maybe predictable) lethargy struck me at around 4pm. From then to the time now, (6.15PM), I have been It seems oddly enough, or predictably enough (depending how you look at it) that the movement I force into my life to keep…

I Partook in a Happiness
It was 6am,I felt rested and recharged.I felt hump day like there was a child inside.I hold the happiness now like a golden rod,That glistens and shines,Despite time’s funeral dirge. I surely want to stay,Of course, why feel different on other days?If I’m aware it must,Those sordid banished feelings,Crawl around in the dust,Beneath marble, burnished…

Black Lagoon and Replacing Morality with Charisma
Last night I watched the film Venom for the first time (you can read my thoughts on it in a previous blog post). And afterwards, started the Anime “Black Lagoon”, without knowing anything about it. I am but three episodes in, and initially, I cant help but notice one aspect in both, that make these…

Media – A Muddy Area
I picked up the controller and plugged in my Roku media streaming device. It was the first time I had decided to do that in a long time: to swindle myself out of a night or an evening. I watched Venom, starring Tom Hardy. I wrote a review you can read now, if you like:…

Zoon Logon Echon Set Review
This is remarkable: the only digital piece of music I can recall spending as much as 14 quid on. Not a penny wasted! Still, today, I listen to this, what i believe to be a collection of 3 EPs from the formidable TESCO Germany label!! This album incites a cold rush of energy and blood…

Getting Cleaned Out by Deathprod – Occulting Disk
Yeah, so, I’m sitting here with a decent pair of noise cancelling SONY headphones on, getting cleaned out by this release from Deathprod: the OCCULTING DISK. This record’s sleeve is obviously evocative of the early industrial release “second annual report” from TG. The first track of that record is echoed and paid homage to throughout.…

A Rough Sleep
I’ll happily make bed,Upon the charred remains,Of scattered bad habits. Like stubble,The brown sharp twigs,Snap like crackling fires. I cant take all day,Sleeping in the midnight sun,I cant praise,The moon as i should,As it faces me by day. Should life collapse,I’ll be at home brooding,With a dog on my lap. These are words of a…

“Dawn, Purpose and Choice” – A Memoir
The azure dawn light tinges my blinds, and birds are chirping. To be fair, I know they did not sleep, as neither did I. I waited and sat, minding my own trifles, puttering at tiny little tasks, and bleaching issues online by way of words. A page below the one I write upon now is…

My Genesis of Self Discovery
Insight into my 30 years alive as a pariah, and 10 years with the diagnosis “schizophrenia”, (a word the world uses in attempt to “understand me” a bit better) The journey to thirty carried with it a valuable lesson: why I am a loner, a social drifter, and why I am so comfortable being so.…
