So I’ll be offline at home til Tuesday when I get my April cap. I have to admit though, being offline all weekend from sometime Friday night has been awesome. I did a lot of sleeping when I could, I had lovely lunches, watched some awesome fights, did some fantastic balcony and beer chillaxing, and still managed to do a bit of writing on my horror.

Here are some of the lyrical highlights…. ‘Knew you was the one, that’s why I chose you Cause you get down for yours and ride like a … Read More »

I’ve been in a bit of a David Bowie phase lately, and while I couldn’t find any of the good stuff on vid, I did find this gem that he did with Freddy Mercury… man what a classic. Quite apt as well, my head has been feeling more and more overloaded with thoughts, ideas and kak every day, and it feels like something is going to give unless I get all those cobwebs untangled. This year sometimes makes me feel … Read More »
