Society has surpassed all romanticism. We’ve moved from being a race full of flowing, splendorous poetics to one devoid of exactly that. ‘Wht u upto tnite?’. Language has been basterdised by shorthand. Now, don’t get me wrong – shorthand writing has been around for hundreds of years & existed in even Shakespeare’s era – but [...]

You Can’t Always Get What You Want.
Words delivered by the great philosopher Jagger. The Stones had it nailed. If you try, you get what you need. Trying is key. If you don’t try, you won’t get anywhere. It’s silly to lay dormant; to not grasp at every opportunity given to you. We have one go at this big stage show – [...]

Subservations
Sitting on the subway always sparks up ideas. Bizarre. I imagine it’s partly to do with the storylines I’m mulling over for my short film (one based on the Glaswegian underground); but there’s something more to it. Definitely. I liken it much to my experience in the shower. Experiences, rather. And before you get any [...]

New Scribblings.
Well, I’ve finally pulled my index from my rectum and made a little headway with my writing. After work this evening, I switched off my telephone, locked myself in my office and scribbled up some ideas. I’ve mostly reworked Conversations with Steve, a piece I’ve been working on since November. I’m a little more loosened where [...]

Funnies.
Okay – Having done some admin on this old mule; I’ve found a little ounce of hilarity. I’ve just spotted my search engine terms ie. every search engine term that’s ever shown up my blog for key words etc. They are as follows (most are laughable): journals of a non-poet 15 anshenbunaoye 13 journalsofanonpoet 8 [...]

Here’s to the Tens.
Well, as all of the ‘Decade Review’ shows have so hastily pointed out – a lot has happened in the past ten years. No shit, Sherlock. Ten years, are ten years. Of course a lot is going to happen. The question is, once you fizz through all of the meaningless shite which passes for ‘news’ [...]

Yuletide Happs.
Wowee – It’s been a bit of a hiatus AGAIN admittedly. I’ve been highly preoccupied with pretty much everything in these past few weeks. A lot has happened for both good and bad, best and worse and you know something? I’m pretty damn fucking good. I believe I’ve a new found thirst for life and [...]

Tea, Anyone?
Ah. Bit of a lull there. A slight sabbatical endured, but here’s hoping I’m beginning to get used to my new routine with Brewhaha, tea & general writing. I’ve absented myself, not entirely on purpose; seeing as I’ve only just been made aware by some who are eager to read my babble, that I’ve not [...]

Horrorfest.
Well, it’s my favourite time of year again. Yes, I do prefer Halloween to many other so called ‘holidays’ or celebrations; merely because it’s the most joyous and fun and there are mostly no strings attached. It’s not a traditionally ‘commercial’ holiday; but rather one where the celebrator isn’t bombarded with the onslaught of having [...]
