  • No Company to keep but my own

    Long nights, considering the choices I have made. When your only company are roaches, porn stars and the four walls, you eventually snap from the opium-haze and begin to reflect. You stare into a black mirror. Torn is the past. Familiarity breeds contempt. I destroy things, its part of my nature. That’s why I go…

  • Madam Guillotine’s Scream

    The cunning is gone. The Committee has decided to do away with the unnecessary rabble, thin the numbers and spook the herd into submission. Everyone is silent as Madame Guillotine’s blade drops from it’s poise, screaming as it rides the rail to the stock. Another head rolls, another place nullified by bureaucracy. Three of my…

  • The Magic 8-Ball and Madame Guillotine

    I once asked a Magic 8-Ball™ whether I should shoot up the whole office. It’s reply: ASKAGAINLATER The 8-Ball is wise beyond it’s years and manufacture. Now was not the right time. No-one was in the office. It was late, and everybody but a few spare souls left grinding out the late shift. Terrible news…

  • City in Exile

    ThursdayOur adventure begins in the VIP Lounge of some southern airport. While Phile and I are engaged in our electronic devices, an ageing consultant makes his observations known about the changing technological world and how we are slowly imprisoning ourselves in cells of 3G gadgets.

  • The List

    With my break from work almost over, it’s time to reflect on something I did before leaving. And that was lending my car to a friend from work to drive it around so it didn’t just sit in a car port looking abandoned. Fearing that my car would be used recklessly, I made a list…

  • Chaos Worshipping Shit Eaters!

    This is a moment I have been waiting for. Since October, I have sacrificed the scant personal time I possess to study my course at university. This has not been an easy thing. After all, since moving to the Glowing Octopus, I still studied through correspondence with the Uni at the Old Town. Doing this…

  • Lessons Learnt for 2007

    Last year I sent around a list of things that I had learnt. I’m not sure if people found it funny or not. Anyway, in continuing my tradition of writing about things that have happened to me over the year, the list is back for another round. And it’s been quite year. And if you…
