Note to dog

Current mood:fucks sake.....
Category: Life
Note to dog. Why have you woken up now? That special I need a pee whinge, which I know is a bluff, as we were outside half an hour ago. its 2 am. i thought you had an internal clock for this sort of stuff. Is it because Van Damme in Legionairre is on? Has his determination and someWhat balletic fight skills, have awoken the dormant hunter that lies in the domestic?
I look across now, out like a light, presumably dreaming of the hunt.
I cannot type very well.I cannot see very well. I cannot walk very well. I bitch concisely, though.
That bloke who blinked the diving bell and the butterfly was a patient sort. My constant misspelling and mistyping drives me nuts. If I thought an american program would let me read the blog in I would be in heaven. As if that would work. Truth is, barely anyone over here ever knows what I'm really on about. Subtlety is a luxury which cannot be bought, only enjoyed.
Wow that was poncey. True, but wanky nonetheless.
Would be more impressive if I had not misspelled everything and mistyped most of it.

Modern Cannon fodder.

Current mood: cheerful
Category: Movies, TV, Celebrities
Fritz, of the sham-wow advert is going on trial for an altercation with a prostitute in Florida. A horrifying 20 minutes. "cos he can't do this all day," and vague allusions which suggest she may have changed his religion.
Fritz, destined to go over the edge. Modern cannon fodder, pushed to the front so we don't get bored
The tea party thing is a shit idea. I mean really shit.
Glenn beck is on the Sham wow path. When he self-immolates that will be some show, replete with tears.
Does no one in America know what tea bagging means?
News people skonking on about tea bagging. Hilarious.

Its never as easy as you think, it is often harder.

My neighbour Paul is neck deep in our malfunctioning dishwasher. A dishwasher,much like a microwave or a fridge is fantastic, until it starts twatting about.
We thought the line was kinked. Of course the shithousery lies a lot deeper than that. The more simple a problem looks, the more difficult it actually is.
This applies in reverse, where the more difficult something is, the simpler you can make it seem. Unless it is actually a pile of shit, in which case you are fooling nobody. The fun bit is that half the time you don't know which one you are dealing with.

Easter Monday

Current mood: discontent
Category: Dreams and the Supernatural
Its 3:24 am. I've spent the last few hours remembering. that drunk beyond a certain point, I find the need to see the feeling through. I stop drinking and stay awake, whilst the pissed self fades. Watched the Doctor Who special on youtube. OK. Thats it really. I've seen some stunning episodes in this series. This one was OK.
Then watched Watermelon man on Retro TV which is a great film. Melvin van pebbles kicking liberal shit till it hurts.
Now feel the drunk laying off a bit, still left with the feeling that the corporate, handwringing moralising horseshit that passes for religion over here, keeps me a long way from the good catholic altar server I once was.
I think its mainly a crock of superstitious shite that plays on peoples loneliness and fear to get money , obedience and power.
I do like easter eggs though. A pagan tradition, along with bunny rabbits.

BBC. Used to be good.

Current mood: cantankerous
Category: Movies, TV, Celebrities
I'm lived in America for nearly 7 years. I have BBc America. It has adverts. What? If you play clips on their website, its shows some piss arse advert you couldn't give a fuck about before getting to the clip. Doesn't seem to matter how tragic or important the story is. gotta get that ad in. Fucking money grubbing cunts. Has the licence fee been repealed? Have the licensing law vans left our streets? Are they now ggogle vans, trying to get pics of sex shop leavers? The google vans in england are like an ultra modern Daily Sport,
"we are on your road. what you doing?"
When the licence fee was what you paid for no ads, it was a pain in the arse, but made some sort of sense. You could actually go to prison for not paying it, which now looks a little iffy. Stalinist, renditiony, attacking the poor sort of thing.
You show ads. Get fucked. And a lot you put out has a strong scent of shit.
Radio is still great though.

Its you. Really.

Current mood: awake
Category: Life
What do I write with a blog title like that? Bit arsey. Bit up itself. confrontational. Cool.
When I meet people for the first time, i always like to sit back and hear who they think they are. I'm sure we all do it. Or, it could just be me. There is something about first meetings, particularly over booze which lets people say how mean they think they are, and anyone doubting it, look out.
Usually people turn out to be quite cuddly, having got this off their chest. Some don't. They are the utter bastards they said. But, they weren't lying. Aah.......

We've been to the office.

Current mood:homey
Category: Life
This evening Beth and I went to my office. I haven't been there for ages. Jan, Feb, March are the most lethal for my MS every year. April isn't looking that good. It was snowing on the way there, which makes moving to Santa Fe seem like a great idea all over again.
The office is great. I will be chugging down there a lot over April and May to sit and write my show for Edinburgh.
. I know everyone else seems to be running their shows already, from what I'm reading. I don't have that option. If I could gig everyday I would. However, I gig when I can. This means its fresh, or a bit creaky.
So down to the office I go. Time to form the babble into focused bullshit.

Surrounded

Category: Dreams and the Supernatural
The front room is full of books. Books we are throwing away, in an attempt to monk ourselves so we don't have to move much. Its stunning the level of shite you accumulate. CD's that never left their plastic wrappers, books whose spines remain uncracked, food that sits in the fridge slowly rotting, awaiting eviction. Slowly rotting awaiting eviction. Hmm. As a life metaphor, quite horrible. Nice turn of phrase though.
If the Devil has all the best tunes, the misanthrope has a lot of the best lines. Being profound and meaningful only ever works by accident. As soon s religion is crossed with money it is worthless. Salesmen selling something pretend in your head, trying to frighten you into believing and paying for something that they aren't even sure about. They sure like the money though.
How did I get from too many books to religion? Bible.

The End

Current mood:getonwithit
Category: Dreams and the Supernatural
The last. The final. appocalypse. a lot of people base their lives around the belief that the world will end. They hope their religio-superstition is the one, and when everything implodes, their Goddy person will sweep them up into paradise. They are also the same people who watch drug ads like hawks, trying to figure out what is wrong with them now.
What are you worried about? if you are right, death is a fun transition into what you keep bleating on about. A lovely cloud, a beautiful pasture, and no bills. Or, you got it wrong, in which case pack some lotion.

spent a great couple of days in Illinois, where we will be moving when we can get our arse in gear. Wasn't really looking forward to coming back. No diss on columbus, which has been a cool place to live. I'm getting twitchy, and my brain has half moved out already.
This happened in England too. As soon as Beth and I knew we were getting married I knew I was leaving England and moving to America.
Movement is one of the few controls I have with MS. When I left england,I had stopped doing stand up because my body couldn't take it anymore. Came to Columbus thinking I would never perform again. Saw an audition for shakespeare in the park and ended up acting for 6 years. Last year MS caught up again and I cannot act on stage anymore. Solution? booked a one man show in Edinburgh at the fringe, which I know I can do, having done a few one man shows while I've been here. To be honest I'm not quite sure what's coming. I know I'm grateful for the opportunities I've been given. But, gotta go. Slowly.
This evening was great. Saw Morrissey at the palace downtown. Gig! What's great about Columbus is that you can see a gig this good and its dead easy to get to, comfortable, great sound, and even the stage invaders waited patiently for the last song and then took being hurled from the stage remarkably well.
Morrissey did a few Smiths tunes, i didn't realise the Death of a Disco Dancer could be that powerful. One of columbus' great strengths is that great bands come through here all the time. i saw Bob Dylan supported by Elvis Costello last year, and the Cult, and Bruce springsteen. This is a great music city. Cheers Columbus.
