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 [...]

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’ [...]

Resolute-tions
Upon reflection, I’ve come to the conclusion that in the New Year, some habits need to be broken and certain elements of la vie du Philippe need some considerable change. Much of an antithesis to mosts’ resolutions, I’m pretty certain that I need to elevate the amount of alcohol which I’m indulging in. Then there’s [...]
