Shop Girl
Originally Featured on the Official SG Blog

You know that moment when the checkout girl asks How are you? with that practised, hollow, melodic inflection & tone, looking up at you from their station with a labored soulless smile? I see through the aesthetic delusion, to the evident sadness that lies within their corneas, the timing of the rise & fall of the...

One Man's Homage to his beloved Kicks

I was born into this world bright red, kicking & screaming, from the loving, caring hands of an elderly asian lady working three different jobs just to be able to feed her children when she eventually came home at night after a fifteen hour shift. But I was one child she would not have to bear the...

Loved the 'Inspiration Wall'. I made a small one of those but called it the 'Wall of Dreams'.

So what did she do? Get the burger for him or not?

The more I read the word 'burger' the hungrier I am.................mmmmMMMMmmmmm.

Whilst dearest Cobie did not get the burger for Mr Rockstar, I still dropped her at his place after a few drinks and she end up in bed with him as the story goes -
1. Cobie comes out with me, we have a lovely night
2. She spends the last quarter of the evening whinging & complaining about her 'boyfriend' ' s selfishness
3. She always ends up going over his place regardless.

The Gentleman: A Prologue

Lily hestiantely entered the room, her face a downpour, a landslide of foundation, mascara purging from her eyes. A black thought cloud hung above her head in a smog of doom.

Listless Shins
Imagination does not exist, nor does existence, imagine that.
A barrier that bounds and forms a foggy construct to keep out an unseen threat.
Like a rainbow, or a pet.
We are but a bizarre bazaar left to be fed.
Laughter is a form of fear, we bare our teeth
like animals in defense against the fence that folds.
Recognise a cognitive device...

Chloe sits in a car, the car sits in traffic, her and the exhaust sharing much in common. She recites a testimonial inside her head, the one which had...

Microwaved Minerals
He had been here before, but this time if just felt wrong, lame almost. This unearned proximity of intimacy felt like a stolen diamond in his hot little hands, like something almost tangible. His enjoyment had usually been embellished from afar, where no harm could be done.
Now his futile attempts at courting his close friend had turned sour. Lament spread deeply through...
