What excites me at the moment, is also what scares me, Tuesdays 26 August I have my first open mike night. It’s not actually my first public reading, I once took my model cars to a care home, did a talk on them, and some poetry reading. I actually got paid for that and, gave… Read more

I would not build a city, cities are a symptom, of man’s inability to control greed not only in wealth but his habit to reproduce like rabbits. We are not meant to live in what is tantamount to poultry farms, then be brainwashed into thinking this is what we want. I live in a world… Read more

I like to please people, that’s what motivates me. If I make someone else happy, that makes me happy. Some will probably call it a flaw, attention seaker and all that, but what care I ! I remember when I was building my Bentley model, my wife was still working then, I couldn’t wait for… Read more

For word aficionados like myself, “Kool” was used by early jazz musicians, a lot of whom couldn’t spell, so “Cool” was misspelled “Kool”. It’s a few years ago now, we stopped watching a certain TV magazine show. The show used to be sometimes interesting, with some science and nature content, it gradually became almost totally… Read more

I would like to take this opportunity to draw a comparison. A comparison between a professional football player, that has the skill to kick a ball up and down a field, one who often exhibits aggression, is vastly overpaid and worshiped. To a fireman, firewoman, surgeon, or nurse. These people save lives nearly everyday, are… Read more
