Meme Response: Laughing
Boringly(?) the times I can remember laughing hardest are at comedy. Most recently, the Bill Bailey gig at the Grand (the man's a genius). TThe time mr_jez and I caught Marcus Brigstocke at the Morecambe Platform was good too. I think. Plus, listening to Arizona Bay with bodybag_pilgrim over a decade ago. - "Fuckin' lizards man." - by the Late Great Bill Hicks. And ( Read more... ) -
Meme Response: Politics
"Freedom is a two-edged sword of which one edge is liberty and the other responsibility, on which both edges are exceedingly sharp; and which is not easily handled by casual, cowardly or treacherous hands. For it has been sharpened by many conflicts, tempered in many fires, quenched by much blood, and although itis always ready for the use of the ( Read more... ) -
Meme Response: Marriage
I am ambivalent about marriage. I really don't have much of opinion. Within the context of legal recognition, I believe the love of individuals regardless of gender, should enable those person to certain legal protections and rights. Personally, I don't find marriage a necessary thing, outside of that. If however, one wishes a ceremonial marking ( Read more... ) -
Meme ResponseFriendship is Magic & Brandycat
My Little Pony Friendship is Magic. It's an amusing diversion. I'm not a megafan or a bronie.There. That's all he wrote on that.
Now, Brandy is my cat. He's my friend. My surrogate little brother/child. He's kept me company with snuggles and loves long before I started seeing lentilthelegume He is the Bastard Cat & Soppy Git all in one. Brandy's one of 2 brothers ( Read more... ) -
Meme Response: Outsiders
This is a complex one, because much like disability/ablility, the outside implies the inside. But hey, all dualities do that, so we're OK with that on some subconscious level, even if we don't acknowledge it - whether it's just as a concept or an actuality varies of course. I've known quite a few disabled people, and there's a certain Outsiderness ( Read more... ) -
Meme Response: Home Comforts
Home comforts are the comforts of home. I spent nearly 2 years couch surfing post-Uni because I didn't have a home, and the bureaucrats were shit. I'll never forget the kindness of people who put me up, and put up with me, during that period. Nor will I forget the help so many folks offered over that time.
I could name the obvious - the Brandycat, ( Read more... ) -
Go on then. I have some free time.
"Everyone has things they blog about. Everyone has things they don't blog about. Challenge me out of my comfort zone by telling me something I don't blog about, but you'd like to hear about, and I'll write a post about it."
I dare you, and then post the meme yourself. If you can't think of anything to ask me about, just post it on your own blog. -
On Poetry
I'm not a poet, even though I write poetry sometimes. I usually use the term storyteller, because it nicely covers everything I do. The world is made of stories.You tell yourself stories all the time, carrying them around and referring to them constantly so you can orientate yourself.
Each of us has an arrangement of ideas, stories as objects which ( Read more... ) -
(Untitled)
So, its been a while since I posted here. I've been really quite busy. The book got finished, and hopefully it should be out by the end of the year. If you're interested, click the link. It's my life and weirdness divided into 24 chapters based around and partaking of the 24 runes of the Elder Futhark. If you like my rambles, metaphysical and ( Read more... )
