The City of Angles
“Hide your sadness behind a piece of glass,
Sink your tears into a bed of stone.”

“You say when he hits you, you don’t mind
Because when he does that, you feel alive,
Baby, is that how it is?
Red lights, gray morning You stumble out of a hole in the ground A vampire or a victim It depends on who’s around.”
- U2, ‘Stay, Faraway So Close’

“I get up in the evening, and I ain’t got nothing to say
I come home in the morning, I go to bed, feeling the same way.”

Chaos Reigns
April 6 2011 +++ You need chaos in your soul to give birth to a dancing star. - FRIEDRICH NIETZSCHE +++ Chaos reigns, rules and justicates with a swinging spear, a falling arrow, the sinuous savage slink of a morning star. Unlike Justice, Law or Peace, it does not use the sword, as the blade is too direct and too penetrating, too unimaginative and concentrated. Chaos never infects, it ...

Bullshit Litmus
There’s a very simple and easy way to tell if a news story is bullshit or not. Using this you can also tell whether a newspaper is bullshit or not at the same time, but you have to apply the principles in a broader manner and collate the information in your head. Depending on how you see the development of a child or its according molestation, I did not grow up here, here being The...
Rhythmeen
Dated March 11 2011 “You know, it’s damned hard to make sense and keep the rhythm.” - Robert Lovell +++ Maybe one day I will look back upon the fecundity of this period with longing and happiness when writing was easy. Maybe I will not look back at all and just have continued writing from now until then - that would be good. Maybe it’ll be next week, next millennium. ...
Bangkok Dangerous
Dated March 9, 2011
++++ The Chao Phraya teems with life, a sibilant surface dark and deep, punctuated by flashes of silver as something has something else for breakfast. A heron floats by, perched on its own raft of water weed. Four feet above your head, the air is thick with spirits. ++++ Madness? This is, Krung Thep! I have rediscovered the meaning of fear. Fear is not exams and...
Revelation In Dirt
Dated March 6, 2011 “Mount Sumeru hides mustard seed; mustard seed contains Mount Sumeru.” -
The Nirdesa Sutra Hope will keep you alive, the truth will set you free. +++ The Zen riddle says an immense mountain can exist in a tiny seed, or a lallang flake, to use a more local and apt example. After walking through the brush, my feet are alive with them, if I were to walk...
The Economy of Movement
Dated March 2, 2011 - En-route to Singapore “All of you think that when you take a shit, candy comes out from your ass. Of course it’s only actually true of me.” ++++ Everybody loves to travel, that much is certain. I’m convinced it’s as much about the process as it is about getting somewhere new and discovering new snails under the stones. Purple snails with needle-like teeth that...
Choosing Cars
February 22, 2011
+++ “Devil’s in the jukebox, jumping on the rhythm, Kinfolk say you got to take what you’re given,” ‘Devil’s In The JukeBox’ Ray LaMontagne +++ I’ll live with it. There have been cars that I really wanted to love. The small difference is, of course, not loved wholeheartedly, but wanted to love wholeheartedly. Come to think of it there have been very few cars,...
Enough Shit
February 17, 2011
+++ “Is this to ask if I’m an android or a lesbian Mr Deckard?” “Is this to be an empathy? Capillary dilation of the so-called blush response?” Blade Runner ++++ Today was back to four wheels. Stability in all four corners is unparallelled when you have lots of shit to carry. What’s the difference between that and two? Like many other car days, it was dominated by...
Shit
Dated: Feb 16th, 2011
You know it’s bad when you get off the bike and all you receive is shit. That’s it, shit. I’m obviously not talking about faeces here, no I’m talking about having to give and give. I don’t give a shit but I have to. I’d rather they take my shit than ask me to give other shit. You think it’s enough? It’s never enough. Born with a half decent set of fucking wits, is that...

This will be the new medium for me, a full nine years after the demise of my livejournal account. It will contain a lot of anything goes stuff. We hope you like it. If you don’t then, there’s always the door. Happy reading!
