9am on a Friday morning

Well, at least it’s weekend…

So about that Big 4 concert: Quite good. I did not really know Anthrax, Megadeth & Slayer other than by name, so it was educational. Anthrax was good and I might even buy myself a Slayer album. I fell asleep during the Megadeth bit – sorry Dave. Not to be nasty, but I think Megadeth would...

Declaration of independence

Declaration of independence

Or at least starting the process of defining mine, I do not yet know what it means, I just know I’m not free. I’m not free of want, prejudice, jealousy, fear and so much more. I’ve fucked up all my chances to have a “normal” life – I dropped out of college, walked out of...

Wow, what an eventful, fun filled and absolutely tiring day! I had some prawns last night, which led to deep conversations with George during the night.

Realisation

Realisation

Knowing some stuff about life usually comes from screwing it up and then having the good fortune of firstly realising it, as well as then seeing the solution. (Fixing it is optional ) So, I should sit back and relax and just smile at the young, dumb, full of cum bigmouth youth, running on the...

South African Police Disservice

May 26, 2010
South African Police Disservice

I'll start of by calmly stating that I'm fucking furious. I've lost my capacity to ignore the utter incompetence so abundant in our country, the daily onslaught of crime and corruption, even by the people supposed to be protecting us from it.

The cruelty of comfortable habits

The cruelty of comfortable habits

The dead sun drew a smile of blood across my face, spoke to me through the shadow of my voice:  “Man”, it said, “this might be next to nothing and drawn through a bitter tap, but it’s all you’ll ever have. Don’t spill a drop.” – John Glenday, from Grain, via Chris Floyd‘s ”Love and...

Justice for all

Justice for all

A conversation during Civil War. (From Bright, Terrible Spirit by Chris Floyd): “But in days past, I was a lawyer. Yes, a lawyer, can you believe it? It seems….ridiculous now, doesn’t it? An orderly system meant to govern human society, to establish justice, to advance the progress and enlightenment of the human race. Yet...

All psyched up and good to go

yes, she does actually skydive Friday night was a tough one for me. I got all emotional, puked for no apparent reason and then it was all over - no more sad, no more feeling all alone. Unplanned, unusual, but effective. Afterwards I went out for a drink and had a good time. Got back and...
