A memory; and believing you can dream!
I remember a time when I was sixteen, and I was staring out over a beach watching fireworks explode over the top of a beautiful moonlit stretch of sandy shoreline with surf breaking gently in the foreground. It was new years eve, on the stroke of midnight, and my friend John Kennedy was there with [...]

The end is a new beginning. Was there a point to it all?
Closure!
It’s one of those words that seems to get thrown around on Oprah a lot. Seems everybody wants closure these days. When we get closure we can put the past behind us and move on.
Well I had “closure” on Saturday; my big project at work finally got released into the production environment and made available [...]

Women
I walked out the front door this morning and turned my head to look at a woman crossing the road. She was very attractive, wearing tight blue jeans tucked into black leather boots that came all the way up to just below her knees. I couldn’t take my eyes off her gorgeous body and so [...]

Happy Scrappy
Finally I saw a light at the end of the tunnel at work today. I think my project is going to go live on saturday. The upshot being, I can have my life back! I’ll have to work this weekend again, the third one in a row, but then it will be over. Finito! The [...]

Is this a cool name?
Upon looking at the last lot of entries, I feel heartened to see that my writing technique is vastly improved from the very first entries. Which in turn are vastly improved on the first draft of the first chapter of a short novel I started two and half years ago. I think perhaps it’s because [...]

The rage and the calm
It’s been another weekend of work… mostly. But even mostly is starting to be too much. I’m at the point where I can’t even remember when I last had a day off it’s been so long. People are starting to hate each, and the vibe is getting ugly. Something is going to blow soon at [...]

The Aussie writers new book; and a Vespa!
This Aussie travel guy, Peter Moore, has got a new book out called “Vroom With a View”, which I just have to buy as soon as I can. This guy writes hilariously gritty travel dramas that has me completely envious of him. He always has photos on his website to accompany his books, and here [...]

I think it is time.
I woke up today and it was pissing down rain. It was one of those hard heavy rains that you hear before you come awake; you’re aware of this rhythmic drumming on the windows which you instinctively know is heavy rain. I like it though! I like the rain. There is something pure about rain [...]

Deranged ramblings of the sleep deprived!
I’m looking out my window, into the darkness of the night feeling rather comforted. I’m playing Smoking Prophet by Thierry Princiotta on winamp; a really nice housey lounge collection, which is giving the world outside a happy feel to it.
Today was the last day of a five day work stint where I’ve devoted no less [...]

Electro-reflection
I’m in a funny mood tonight. It’s twenty minutes or so before midnight. I didn’t walk in the front door until a few minutes before 10pm. When I came in I threw some unopened mail from my ISP onto the kitchen table, it’s probably a reminder that I am 2 months overdue on the account. [...]
