On St. Patrick’s Day, this Wednesday past – I ventured to Oran Mor for the first time in months. How could I miss an opportunity to see another Gregory Burke play? Wonderful writer. The play has come to an end in it’s Glasgow run, but if you have the means – check it out in [...]

Question.
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 [...]

Sobriety
I hit my head this week. I hit it real bad. After a week, the headache remains. This fall, fell in the midst of my transition from the East of Glasgow to the West. A very much concussed me, has found it incredibly difficult to remove himself from such a stupor. I sleep, but I [...]

Shelving Old Plays

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 [...]

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 [...]
