The carefree, godless, hopeless drifter muses once again 

Currently I’m decaying in the lovely state of Florida on a relaxing break from the dreary remnants of shitty north western Britain. The Floridian sun fruitlessly trying to scorch my pale skin and my hair growing long and unkempt. I’m filling the days alone listening to Leonard Cohen, Nick Drake and Father John Misty on […]

Down and out upon a mountain

I probably wouldn't be the ideal anything; yeah I'm there for the people I care about- little reciprocation in that area though. The amount of meaningless relationships I have cultivated based only on mutual attraction and mutual animosity for each other, guess the label was their ticket in and the casualness was mine. Now a … Continue reading Down and out upon a mountain

Moniker

Why the sudden splurge of posts you may wonder, after many months of silence. I don't have a fucking clue, so please do refrain.  I can tell you though my week has been a mess, jumping from high to low, to just one big downward drop of everything. It's been a long battle. The days … Continue reading Moniker

The destruction won’t be newsworthy 

Technology, the earth or ourselves will kill us before anything else. Oh this glorious world rife with suicide, racism, homophobia, death, genocide and fear. There is a collective unease in the air as I write this. By the time this blog has been posted someone will have died, a baby will have been born, someone will have … Continue reading The destruction won’t be newsworthy

Unordinary world

The world has never been a place you can be different without anyone being an asshole to you about it. Britain has never been a place you can dislike football (forced down your throat at every turn), America has never been a place where you can truly be open (God fearing folks force their opinions … Continue reading Unordinary world

This is not it

Be a little different and you'll become an oucast. Trust me on that. Speak the truth and you'll be feared. Trust me on that as well. Difference is a beautiful thing it truly is. People despise it because they know they're different they just can't fucking accept it. I mean people hated the album cover … Continue reading This is not it

Jonesing for a future

We are our own worst enemy. We have created murder, hate and racism to name a few. Only now hundreds of years after we've created these things are we getting around to stopping them but there is very little we can do but hope people learn from their mistakes and grow as people. Our politicians … Continue reading Jonesing for a future

Star spangled lies

Oppression is a form of slavery, stopping people like Noam Chomsky from speaking their mind, banning books like The Tropic of Cancer by Henry Miller or Howl by Allen Ginsberg. Outlawing gay marriage because they've read some pathetic religious text. Killing a gay person for being different is beyond heinous. It's unimaginable that this still … Continue reading Star spangled lies

Mistakenly forsaken at 19°

I'm tired, I'm listening to System of a down loudly and writing this blog post, oh and it's too fucking hot for my liking. It's been a surprisingly eventful and also fucked start to the week. From the supposed bare ass of a nineteen year old girl getting sent to her for everyone to see … Continue reading Mistakenly forsaken at 19°
