Memiors of a recovering addict – Africa
A few years ago I wrote a diary covering my trip to African, Dad asked. I’ll link to the page soon.
Profane aphorisims of great color and vitality
- They always fuck you at the drive-thru
- I’m busier then a one-legged man in an ass-kicking contest
- Wish in one hand, shit in the other, see which one fills up first
Those talk me and this inspires me:
On Writing
If you substitute Oh suger! instead of Oh shit! after your character has hammered her thumb because you’re thinking about the Legion of decency, you are breaking the unspoken contract that exists between writer and reader – your promise to express the truth of how people act and talk through the medium of a made-up story.
On the other hand, one of your characters (the old maid perhaps) really might say Oh suger! instead of Oh shit! after pounding her thumb with the hammer. You’ll know which to use if you know your character, and we’ll learn something about the speaker that will make him or her more vivid and interesting. The point is to let the character speak freely without regard to the Legion of Decency.
Stephen King (forgive my hack)
This is why I like shows like 6 feet under. Because they dont sell me out for the usual sit-com bull shit.
So in the the name of practice.
- Lets get the fuck out of dodge
- We dont cotton on much to niggers around here
- What do you think you’re doing, you fucking faggot?
-Stephen King (forgive my hack)
*by the way i’m not a redneck, nor a racist, or a homophobic person – nor is mr king, nor mr paul holmes for that matter. weird isnt it.

Richard Dooling – speaking to the converse
She straddled him and prepared to make the necessary port connections, male and female adapters ready, I/O enabled, server/client, master/slave. Just a couple of high-end biological machines preparing to hot-dock with cable modems and access each other’s front-end processors.
Blurgh
Today I’m tired, I dont know why I just am. I’m feeling blah. Even after 2 coffees I’m still feeling blah. I even declined the opportunity to share at this mornings meeting. Not like me. Today is one of those something is missing in my life days and I dont know what.
Fuck Zest
Like I said I’m reading ‘On Writing’. (fuck you, it doesnt get another link)
It’s full of good stuff… on writing. Over the next few weeks I intend to compile some of the best of and share it here. So there you have it :/
Screaming Paperbacks
I love to read. It’s part of who I am. Some of the most restless nights I’ve had have been nights when I’ve been home alone without a good book. I love being in bed and reading until my eyes start to get heavy and before you know it everything just is. A good book will almost always take me for a ride.
One of the places I like to travel to the most is Frank Herberts word of Dune, each book is like a fucking rollercoaster ride.
To my utmost delight the 2nd ‘Legends of Dune book’, The Machine Crusade has now been released. You can expect my opinion on this very soon.
Moving on.
Currently I’m reading On Writing by Stephen King. It’s his book about himself. I really admire the guy and found his inner workings similar to my own :)
TUANZ Awards (& 24 hour party people)
Two compleatly differant topics I know, but just as equaly fucking cool as each other.
Instinct are finalists in the TUANZ Interactive Awards for making the Mako Game.
Jon our buddy at Blister hooked us up with the work. Thanks Jon.
On another tangent I just saw 24 Hour Party People (again) and all I can say is fan-bloody-tastic! Right back in the days of Ian Curtis to the Sweaty Dance floors of today, I love it all!
Its weird, everytime I see a dance scence in a Movie or Docco and theres the lights and the bass my heart starts beating faster I swear, whats that about?
