Do you have that disease? Do you have that raging poison in your veins? Will you give it to me? Will you bestow your dreadful illness upon this feeble mind and body? Will you course through my bloodstream? Will you beat me into submission? Will you fuck me into obliteration rather than simple oblivion? Will […]
Hello. I have been thinking about trying to write here again. Or just write. Anywhere. But I am not sure. Not sure. Yet. So. How have you been? I hope you have been well. I have been. I have been somewhere. Things have happened. Other things have not happened. And other things have happened in […]
They say that I need a plan. Whoever they are. I say that I have a plan. A twelve-step plan, I say. They ask if I am an alcoholic. I reconsider my reply. They say that I need a plan. Whoever they are. I say that plans are for careerist swine, for capitalist scum, for faceless […]
Turn left. She is all politeness, but laced with the venom of palpable menace. Turn left. Don’t want to. You can’t make me. Turn left. But I prefer the river. You can’t. You can’t go in the river. Why not? I could be quite the most expert of drowners. I could suck up city effluent […]

Perched on opposing shoulders, facing each other across the cavern of my confused and rapidly evacuating mind, they pull the split strands of my hair and pinch my earlobes, bite my neck and dig their fingernails into my flesh. I flinch as they kick me repeatedly […]
Don’t look back. You only end up getting a pain in the neck from all that craning. I don’t remember much of what happened before June, to be honest. I remember meeting two people with whom I instantly clicked — and as is the traditional way, with whom I quickly decided I simply had to […]
That is undoubtedly the best blog post title ever, as I’m sure you’ll agree. It’s just so eloquent, exciting, dramatic, committed. It makes you want to read the words that follow. It makes you drool with anticipation, in a way that your elderly aunt’s offer of yet another sodding mince pie no longer can. Doesn’t […]
“Don’t analyse it to death. It’s only blogging.” It was 11.00am this morning when I sat down in front of my laptop and put those four words into the title field of this entry. As I write these opening lines, It’s now just past 9.00pm at night. No, obviously I haven’t spent ten hours typing […]
