Since I spend most of my time knocking seven shades of hell out of myself it would only be fair to actually record some of the more positive events of my life; just to get some perspective really. So three things I’m reasonably proud of. Firstly I’ve published my third book. I’ve been working on [...]

The Chubster And Morale
Posted in Me on April 20, 2012 | Leave a Comment »
There’s no self-pity here, sometimes I feel it is necessary to state that just because of the subject matter, so really get me here. I’ve been on one form of medication or another pretty routinely for some five years or so now and I’ve put on a lot of weight, and now I’ve been on it [...]
Happiness Is Not A Fish That You Can Catch

Struck by the relative quiet of Saturday night it occurred to me (not for the first time) that I have been routinely unsuccessful in all my relationships and that it was probably worth figuring out some sort of coping strategy for future failures and break ups. This meant trying to establish some sort of time frame with [...]
Failure and Friends

If there is anything to be said for having developed a world weary, irritable, and cynical character over the past few years it is how handy that comes in when you’re quitting smoking. Pissed off at the world, tired, ill, fed up to the back teeth with humanity and the almost divinely inspired hypocrisy of [...]
One Step Closer to Nowhere

Today was my 27th birthday I actually managed to remember it this time unlike my 26th, which I quite forgot until a day or so afterwards. 27 years and I guess I should probably be writing some twee piece about how older and wiser I am and how life events have unfolded over the past [...]
Dramatic Pause

I may as well warn the reader now that this is a slightly meandering trawl but, hell, if you’ve been reading this blog so far then you won’t expect anything else. Reappraisal time seems to have come around again and it’s probably all part of having been in some kind of fugue state over the [...]
Purgatory but with Cats

Having packed everything ready for the move this Saturday I’m left with very little that isn’t boxed up and taking up floor space in the front room. I have available to hand my battered copy of Peter Green’s ‘Alexander the Great’, which I’ve now read some five times, my laptop, and enough workings to make [...]
Portrait of a Drinking Man

After attending BBQ at which I saw Elvis singing AC/DC songs this weekend I found a picture that’d been taken during the evening in which I saw the cause of this morning’s headache sitting stealthily in my hand, well that wasn’t the cause but indeed one of the many causes that I took up over the hours that I was [...]
Late night questions

How is it you’re here, what with the fact that there are days you can’t leave the house? What with the days you crash through life with all the fucking energy of a go-go dancer on acid? How is it you can be here doing what you do? When you can’t turn those bad ideas [...]
It simply means that you’re like everybody else

It’s been a difficult week of sorts, I have managed to spend most of my time in some sort of hypermanic state which managed to win me no friends whatsoever, I don’t think I’ve been so full of myself for a good long while but it wasn’t a very pleasant feeling. It got bad enough [...]
