A lot has happened. Forgive the disjointed nature of such.

Not to me directly, but a lot has happened to people who seem to gravitate to me, just outside of arms reach. I've been running about on business and meeting people, and shaking hands and smiling and laughing and actually meaning none of the above because that's business. The art of making people beleive that...

Now, I have a lot of time for Marilyn Manson these days. Much of his music doesn't do a lot for me, but I enjoy his persona, himself as art. He's a clever man, and I suspect the he's not all artifice. He's thirty-four years old now, experienced artist and media operator, and he must know his audience. and I don't mean by looking at...

Drinking is bad for your body but bloody good for your fucking spirits, thats all I really need to say about Monday night.

I'm happy in my own company most of the time but I do go out occasionally when I was younger and a little later on, I discovered the things that would plague me for the rest of my life: Cigarettes, drink and...

I'm at Work. It does things to me here. Makes me think about things and gives me time to formulate ideas around them. Like the idea of country. That, patriotism, has been in many times and places a passionate belief to which the best minds could give full assent. It was so in England in the time of Shakespeare, in Germany in the time of...

"I don't really want a boyfriend. Just someone to take me out for Valentine's Day."

Thats like giving the homeless four measly cans of tomato soup for thanksgiving and then ignore their poor asses the rest of the year. Makes no fucking sense. You just want to feel special because you think everyone else is gonna have a date. They wont. Get on Myspace, if...

I'm actually alive and busy. Oh, It might look like I'm doing nothing, but at the cellular level I'm really quite busy. I'm dealing with schools unusually complex issues which, given the level of intelligence and reason that exist in the administration, require an attitutde that wants to seize the day with heavy machinery... but It's hard to seize the day when you must first...

Im in getting into a girl. Someone who wants to be made more than she is. What do we call it? An Alice complex? Peter Pan syndrome? If ever Im pretty sure the reason Im rapt by her is because she wanted someone to save her. Im sure that this wont happen.

She thinks people are like butterflies, changing from something simple into something complicated...

At work today I, unwilling to leave the break room, had to watch a movie. I fell in love with "The Perfect Man". Which sounds better if you ignore the fact that it's not only a movie, but the kind of movie I normally hate.

I've been less than fanatical about Duff Stuff since A Cindarella Story, although that ball-eyed little cocksmith Chad Michael Murray...

There is such a thing as truth. Non-relative, unassailable, valuable truth. Do not let people relativise the concept of truth into vapour.

I dont read as often as I used to, mainly because not many books are written for me. I want something with a little more muscle and bite than standard-issue power fantasies, whimsical romance, the autobiographies of people who never do anything and...

Holy shit, I think I'm depressed. I'm not really sure. But I'm playing Jeff Buckley and I haven't spoken to anyone all day. That hasn't happened since year ten, when a bunch of us fatty fats decided that 40 Hours without food was too long and that people should sponsor us to STFU instead. Could be depressed, yeah.

My car died A few weeks ago....

Whats with "Free Culture" These deays. Or better yet people with salaried day jobs telling me I shouldn't have the right to own and control my ideas and creative property and have it handed down in any way I fucking well see fit. You go and make a living solely off your own imagination and then come back and talk to me. Or go and...
