It’s the end of 2008. Holy shit is the only way to describe it all. I am sitting in an empty house right now, the laptop heating up my thighs (but not my pills, I want to have kids one day) and I have my feet up on a removalist box full of kitchen gear. [...]

Writing over xmas can be about as futile as trying to exercise over xmas, or eat healthy. Sometimes you have to just sit down and realise that certain things are not going to happen. My mind works in the way that I figure if I do enough of it throughout the year then I am [...]

An old foe just found me on myspace, he wanted to let me know that he’s different now. He’s kicking ass, taking names and chewing bubble gum. He’s not out of bubble gum yet, but he chews it sparingly in between his other pursuits. My friend’s name is Jesus and I’m certain most of you [...]
