  • Write Me a Letter.

    Not really a new thing, just a reminder I’M NO GOOD WITH TECH. I wanted to send an e-mail to our local radio station about my new book I got myself into a proper tangle. I also got myself into tangle with my posts, so you will just have to manage with something that doesn’t… Read more

  • Foaming at the Mouth and Other Places.

    ”Foaming at the mouth he began to make his midnight creep” A line from Bob Dylan’s “The Ballad of Frankie Lee and Judas Priest” From the album “John Wesley Harding” I hate being asked, what is the question I hate being asked. Another thing I hate being asked, is “What kind of lunatic comes up… Read more

  • A Modern Romance.

    Am I a failure, or a success? Honest answer, I don’t know. My little book has been out there for nearly two weeks now, as with my blog despite many pleas I have had little feedback, which as a creative person is very disappointing. However, yesterday I took ten copies of the book to a… Read more

  • Worthy or Unworthy.

    I don’t consider myself, clever enough, skilled enough or lucky enough (As is the case with most autobiographers) for me to think people would want to read about me. The first line then maybe should read “If you are reading this, get a life”. I would much sooner write about others, mostly bringing to light… Read more

  • Organs, Material, possessions or Objects?

    What kind of objects? Heart, brain, lungs, liver etc I wouldn’t want to be without. Material possessions I have three vehicles in which in total I cover less than 5,000 miles a year so whilst I could dispose of two, a car to me means freedom a freedom I wouldn’t want to be without. I… Read more

  • Necromantic Romance.

    I remember as clear as day, the day after my all clear from cancer saying to my wife I’m going on a journey. The journey was to be one of learning, learning what life was really, not “Really about”. I don’t believe it is about anything, it just IS. But there is a truth an… Read more

  • They’re No Good The Cards That You’re Holding, Unless They’re From Another World.

    Title, a line from Bob Dylan’s Series of Dreams. I love the idea that the only way some people can win is if their luck comes from some other world or dimension. It somehow gives weight to the theory that many world leaders and mega Rich are actually aliens, just take a look into the… Read more

  • Childy Doodlehood.

    Childhood, that age of innocence, before the world layed waste to naivety, and I was reborn into a world of apathy. Luke Warm. I’ve got a friend called Luke Warm doesn’t know how to go to townCan only do things by half, half a smile or half a frownIf I buy Luke a pint, with… Read more

  • Shoes and Ships and Sails and Sealing Wax.

    Also of course cabbages and kings. It’s a king I talk about today, an infant king, a king of nonsense a dark king. Title of course inspired by Lewis Carrol, what a genius he was. I want to be a child If I could be a child for just one dayAll adult mindsets, ethics and… Read more

  • Do It Yourself Nonsense.

    Sometimes it seems like my life is just one big DIY project, a house that’s too big and a Keith that’s getting older. I’m not going to write about boring proper DIY today though, I’m in the mood for some nonsense. Talking of Nonsense I love spotting weird and nonsensical sights, things like ”Please refrain… Read more
