I've been visiting my parents, and today, upon rummaging through one of their bookcases, I found a notebook of mine, gifted to me from them back in 2009. It's sparsely filled, predominantly because it's oddly shaped, so, awkward to write in. But also because, being a fucking massive colour snob, I snubbed it because it's… Continue reading 100 Days Of Blogging #4 – Writing Is Why I Do My Life
I'm not usually one for fads, but when I caught word of the new My Heritage AI Time Machine, I couldn't pass up on it. I tried, I did, but the idea of 'seeing myself' in different historical eras eventually succeeded in seducing me during one slow-paced midweek afternoon. I hesitated for a few minutes… Continue reading 100 Days Of Blogging #2 – I Did That My Heritage AI Time Machine Thing
I've been going through an existential crisis, and last week was at breaking point. After twenty-odd years of first-hand experience with mental breakdowns, I've finally, in my 36th year, come to accept when I need to say to myself, 'I'M DOING SOMETHING ABOUT THIS RIGHT FUCKING NOW.' The first thing I did was call my doctor… Continue reading 100 Days Of Blogging #1 – Walking With A Wolfdog
A poem from my forthcoming poetry collection which I hope to launch in Iceland later this year. (This sheep head eating experience was during my brief stint of eating meat. My diet is plant based again these days.) WordPress doesn't like poetry, so it's presented differently to how it will be in the book -… Continue reading Svið – A Poem
A few friends have been asking what's up recently, and giving them a concise answer has been challenging. I've mainly been replying with 'just some big life stuff.' I've been hanging on, as it were, but I didn't realise quite how deeply this 'big life stuff' has been impacting me until yesterday when I went… Continue reading What’s Up? Just Some Big Life Stuff.
I have some excellent friends. One of those friends is Rich Blackett, and though we've never met, he's done more than his fair share of cheering me up when I've felt at a loss. Rich has a talent for transforming my photos into fake cds, vinyls, tapes and movie posters and though I never know… Continue reading CDs, Vinyls, Tapes & Movie Posters That Don’t Actually Exist
My involvement in the UKBM scene has been sporadic at best over the past however many years. But it warms this tattered heart of mine to know my home county of North Yorkshire is being darkened with sell-out shows and festivals featuring some of the very best black metal offerings. It’s been a while since… Continue reading A Conversation With Reaper Agency UK About Fortress Festival
I didn't think I'd return to Tinder, but living in a remote village and being quite the recluse, meeting men offline isn't easy. I've been single since breaking up with my ex in August 2022 and have been feeling starved of touch. I've been hungering for hugs, kisses and sex, hand-holding, hair stroking and shoulder… Continue reading Thank You For Coming – The Anatomy Of A Date Gone Wrong
