Another year has passed in my life and I am older. In terms of experience there has probably not been a year where I learned as much as I have in the one just past. It feels like I have moved into the last phase of my life, not that it is over already, but … Continue reading It’s been a long time
Ineffable
A film diaphanous as a ghost Separates me from the objects of desire A path leads onwards Guarded by the creature of my own creating How to utter the spell That opens the door That parts the veil And frees me It is written in script That defies interpretation By my conscious mind And must … Continue reading Ineffable
Red or Blue
In the film, ‘The Matrix’, Neo, the main protagonist, is offered a choice by Morpheus, the leader of the resistance movement. After giving some nuggets of information about the reality he inhabits, Morpheus holds out his hands, one contains a red capsule and the other a blue one. Neo is told that if he chooses … Continue reading Red or Blue
No, still nothing
I’m trying to find some reason to write a blogpost but there is nothing. I had an idea the other day and started, somewhat unenthusiastically, to type. The idea wouldn’t develop from its germ state, the usual tendrils of thought that appear failed to show up. I researched a bit and found the internet to … Continue reading No, still nothing
Just wonder sometimes
What’s the point of writing stuff now when the cunts are coming to stop me living as I choose. Why must I fight every day just to keep the evil from my door? There will be no vaccine forced on me by means of blackmail, coercion, or force. I do not consent to this. It … Continue reading Just wonder sometimes
Shades of Grey?
An interesting thing happened to me today, I found myself arguing with someone that, while 'black lives matter' is not a racist statement, 'white lives matter' is. I am a middle-aged, middle class, white man. My politics are slightly to the right, although I do not class myself as a conservative people that know me … Continue reading Shades of Grey?
When is a man not a man?
There is an argument, strongly held, that gender is not biological. It is beyond me to understand exactly what this means, but I get the gist. The adherents of this idea claim that gender is what you feel you are, and they have become a big player in the cancellation culture that is growing in … Continue reading When is a man not a man?
Maggie, where are you?
As I have mentioned before, I have a deep and abiding scepticism about covid, coronavirus, or whatever name it goes by these days. It is hard to be specific about why this might be, but it is possible that the total absence of 'news' from my life may be the key. I never received the … Continue reading Maggie, where are you?
The Great Bake-Off
Eighteen and a half years ago I set out on a path that would lead me to participate in a twelve-step programme. There are many such programmes around, and there are many that probably would be suitable for me with my combination of personality quirks and propensity for alcohol and substance abuse. However, the one … Continue reading The Great Bake-Off
White and Proud
What did you think, I wonder, when you read that title? Was your first thought that I was about to go off on a racist, white supremacist rant in reaction to the ridiculous revisionist bullshit that's expressing itself like pus oozing from a rancid boil in our society today? Sorry to disappoint. I am white, … Continue reading White and Proud
