We only want it black, harsh and stringent. We don’t want that fucking cutesie cookie on the saucer. Take your short bread and shove it lady.
Life’s a beach
Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish.
(Reuters) – Steve Jobs, the transcendent Silicon Valley entrepreneur who reinvented the world’s computing, music and mobile phone industries and changed the daily habits of millions around the globe, died on Wednesday at the age of 56.

Postcard from the edge
“So you are lean and mean and resourceful and you continue to walk on the edge of the precipice because over the years you have become fascinated by how close you can walk without losing your balance.” ~ Attributed to Richard M. Nixon A friend gave me a little speech last night, suffice it...
A bit like herding cats
Getting my thoughts together and remembering all the things that happened in during the past month or two feels a bit like that – herding cats. I should have kept notes, there were so many things I wanted to write about & share, but my internet at home is down and it’s been hectic...
All within my hands
For a long time I really did not like this song: I’d switch albums or just turn the radio down when it came up. It’s a loud song with a relentless, monotonous beat and very little melody. The last bit of singing “kill kill kill kill kill kill” sounded plain daft. Then one day...

Premature celebration
I paid my final invoice for the transfer of the smallholding to my name today. It’s been a long ride. It’s been tough, tears have been shed, there’s been a lot of red tape. There’s been kindness. There will be closure. In about 2 week’s time, when the final certificates and whatever leftover red...
The dark side
From the ShadowClub song “Block 16″ – “There’s a better way to the dark side of me” That just caught me. What constitutes a better a way to a bad place? Does it mean it’s quicker or slower? Darker? More painful? Do you get psycho-analyzed on the way there? Tied up and & whipped? Is...
