Comes Out Your Bum Like a Bullet From A Gun
oh diarrhea! It’s a horrible thing is it not? One minute you’re going about your business feeling fine and dandy. The next, you are overcome with an unusual lethargy. Then, you are blighted with abdominal pains and before you know it, you’re darting off to the nearest lavatory to deposit something that has the consistency you would expect of something processed by the bladder,...

The Ex-Factor - Homogeneity Kills Us As...
The television was on. Saturday nights were always the same. Minds being violated up and down the country as barking, clapping seals, drooling from the apathy their brains now feel for life, applaud people with okay voices for singing versions of songs other people wrote and performed much better than they did. This is not entertainment. This is not culture. This is the modern, ‘civilised’...

The Iran Situation and Self-Inflicted Wounds
Have you ever done something really fucking stupid and regretted it…Like tease a cat. You know how it is, you’ll be playing with a cat, he or she will be rolling around mindlessly flailing at a piece of string or something with naturally instinctive aplomb, you let your guard down thinking it is all a game and then next thing you know you’ve got red lines traced all down your...

Another Moan About Politics
It seems the political race in the US is heating up a bit. How do I know this? Because it is no longer about politics and all about pointlessly slandering other people… It would not be so bad if it was being done cleverly, with some wit and satirical flair. But it isn’t! I guess this is what bugs me most about the facade that is Western politics; we make it personal, and take it...
On Falling
The Seraphic beauty held aloft the wondrous, silken horse-hair bow and played with it the strings of my heart like some fluttering, arrhythmic cello. This, the ambient background music to what could be a beautiful plummet. A descent into sane madness from a sad and lonely aloof summit. Or, a savage drop. A suicide dive. A shameful, rueful fall from grace. That leaves my body as tattered...

Viva La Resistance!
Resistance, we know what that is, right? Going against the grain? Standing up for what we believe in? Being resistant, being human, being strong minded, willful and overall, being quite awesome! It’s not that simple for some elements of humanity, you know? Sometimes they are bound by dogmatic rules and regulations. They may be involved in societies, groups or religions that don’t...

Amateur Pornography: The Problems
I am fairly certain you will know what pornography is. I am also fairly certain you will know what an amateur is and therefore, shall be able to put the two terms together to get a clear picture of what I am talking about…Sadly, with what I am talking about, you rarely, if ever, get a clear picture! I am not sure what saucy element of the human mind it is that enables some of us to be quite...
Reflections on 2011 & Hopes for 2012
I’ve been meaning to do something like this for a while but some personal issues have rather got in the way, but given that my friend over at http://zenandtheartoftightropewalking.wordpress.com/ has just done her little New Years blog I feel it is, therefore, not too late for me to do one. 2011 was a shit year, I’d use the ‘annus horribilis’ term if I did not think it...

This Piece is About Marriage and Why It May Not Be...
*Firstly, apologies for the title! It’s difficult to think of something short, snappy and to the point that would not get reacted to with hate from certain circles!* So, apparently celeb gossip on the grapevine has it that Katy Perry and Russell Brand are breaking up! Of course, I do not particularly follow celebrity news so, it must be asked quite how I knew about it. Well I knew about it...
Easy as a Bee, See? - A Novel by Mercer
I’ve been working away at it for a couple of months now and it is finally done. ‘Easy as a Bee, See?’ is now available on Kindle in the US and the UK (other markets to come although apparently you European types have an aversion to my work…I shall have to get some trusty translators…Or just stick the whole thing through Google translate! That’d be a laughable...

Peace and Goodwill
So, it’s Christmas! 25th December, a day upon which Jesus Christ was almost definitely NOT born; and yet we celebrate his birthday today anyway. Well, I prepared early, I have already done my angry non-conformist rant about how the spirit of Christmas has been bullshitised, commercialised and idealistically sodomised until all that is left is an expensive, gluttonous shell. So why am I...
Who runs the world? It's easy as a bee,...
Ever wondered who is really behind the evil machinations of this world? Psst…Here’s a hint, they’re small, yellow and black, bumbly and have a vigorously elitist monarchical society…No, it’s not the British the Royal Family painted up like tigers, it’s BEES! Well, they like to pretend they’re in charge but, actually the owls tell them what to do…...

The State of the Human Condition
We’re so self-congratulatory. We fucking love ourselves, we really do. Humanity is so damn great and so damn special, is it not? Well, no it isn’t. We’re a despicable, exploitative, disgusting cancer of a species. Self interested and deluded we go about our business believing ourselves and others to be important…How foolish. We’re masters of deceit. I mean, other...
Isolationism: Or Why I Love Cats
Other people…Not just the irritating ones, but the tolerable ones, even they can be quite intolerable, don’t you think. I often praise how human beings are social creatures and urge people to encourage that. But I neglect the fact that I would fucking hate it. I really should never get involved with human beings. I inevitably end up feeling ashamed and awkward for having instigated...
Boatman
Loosen the moorings, and set sail away, a lonely boatman on a crowded sea. Oars awash with dripping souls, none to appease his misery.

Soup names
Well, my posts have all been rather serious recently, and indeed, yesterdays was just a clusterfuck of depressive nonsense from a mind with far too much on it. So today, despite the fact that world is still a terrible place, people are dying left right and centre for all sorts of terrible reasons, there are people starving to death, or dying of thirst, there is injustice, inequality and general...
Note to Family Members Reading my Blog!
I am a master of misery, and a craftsman of hyperbole and exaggeration. Don’t take anything I say here too seriously, I still love you all!
Why do I live?
I don’t think I make any secret of my misery. I wallow in it, I tried to cover it up for a long time, feeling like I was in some way ‘wrong’ but, honestly, what more savage, disgusting and ignoble practice is there than living? We all like to pretend that life is so fucking fantastic. Of course we do, we have a vested interest in it, being, as we are, living! We want to feel...
Guiltiness
Crooked, creaking arms arch in the wind. Hands; swinging sinister strangulation. Decrepit, rotting tree trunks the only shelter from the rain driven like bullets into your skin. Each fallen oceanic drop leaves a wound, punctured. Sedative suffering. Reality but mud, thick and dirty. Slippery, temporary under foot, giving. Eyes drip, drip like a leaking tap rapping on the basin metronomic. The...
Notes on Supranationalism - The EU/UK debate
This is not going to be a formal blog or anything so forgive me if the structure is a little off, but I just wanted to discuss the whole Dave Cameron, EU situation a bit. For those not aware, amendments to the Lisbon Treaty were proposed in order to encourage stricter financial controls on European member states so as to help prevent the kinds of crises that have occurred within the EU recently....
