Who Said The Internet Killed Romance?

Sunday, 14th February, 2010

About two weeks ago, I was shown a delightful view from a hilltop town in Southern Italy, overlooking a panoramic view of a city below, rolling away from the mountains and falling down into the sea below. It was quite the stunning scene, shown to me via Google Street View and made even more impressive [...]

What Do You Want To Be When You Grow Up?

“Another glass?”, Oliver asked the young woman curled up on his sofa, wrapped in the warmth of the fleece blanket that only ever seems to get used when she is around. “Thank you” came the positive, yet delicate response, and the empty glass was raised. As the impromptu bartender grasped the vessel, he looked up [...]

Feeling The Warmth On A Harsh Winter’s Morning

With the duvet wrapped around the body like a securing shield protecting you from the elements that struggle to penetrate from the outside, you move your shoulders ever so slightly to feel the comfort the blanket brings. A shudder of warmth moves around your skin and your cheeks uncontrollably lift in appreciation. As a smile [...]

For The Record: December 2009

The year has gone way too quickly. I have no regrets about doing what I did on the 11th. A dildo and an inflatable ‘toy’ woman! Seriously, that’s what you bought each other for Christmas!? Is now a good time to suggest siblings should share and share-alike? Ethel did it. I still cannot believe how open I was in [...]

The Sweet Taste Of Infectious Poison

Like arsenic flowing through veins, the bitter taste of lost affection meanders the soul and coaxes the mind to regain focus and purpose. To start a’fresh, to find youthful innocence and lustful vigour… …to breathe the bark of a blackened and charred tree, to taste a strawberry for the very first time. Life circulates. Smiles infect.

24-Hour Non-Hallowe’en Scare-A-Thon

9pm on Tuesday, my home time after a long day at work. After quickly checking my email, I packed my laptop into its bag as I have done thousands of times before, and I neatly tucked the mouse and power adapter away, as I have done a hundred-or-so times in the past. Knowing I would [...]

Number-Induced Mind-Explosion

I’m a numbers guy. I like looking at numbers and figuring out where they came from, what they mean and where they might go in the future. I’m not a brilliant mathematician, but I do have common sense and logic, and can apply this quite well. Combined with something tangible, my interest peaks and I [...]

Some Of My Most Favourite Films… Ever

Thursday, 10th September, 2009

5 Comments

A few words on some films I really like. Some I treasure, others touched me at the time of seeing them. Some are landmark motion pictures and are epic in their own right, others grew on me over time. Some you may know, some you may not.

In the past two years, I have changed. I may not realise it myself – who does – but I know I have changed. Everybody changes over time, and often these changes remain undocumented, unrealised and unknown. For the most, myself included, they fall into this category. But one thing I do, one thing I [...]

A Fond Farewell To Alpha Foxtrot

Wednesday, 24th June, 2009

2 Comments

Today I learned I will never drive my Audi again. My beautiful Audi that I cared for, adored and admired for just over three years of its life. Alpha Foxtrot brought me much joy and happiness as I cruised up and down motorways and darted around city centres. It was responsive, agile, practical and homely. [...]
