Sex and Semantics

July 10, 2010 Leave a comment

So I had to do this off the cuff blog due to a ‘discussion’ on Twitter over the semantics of sex. According to said person, ‘making love’ sounds twee and makes their skin crawl. That is not how I see it. As you know, I used to be a chef and food is a big part of my life. The reason I mention this now is because what I am about to say is explained by food, so we can all get along.

The way I see it, the act of fornication can be put in three categories (good, bad and embarrassing HAHAHAH I am SO Carrie fucking whatsersexandthecityname!)

Fucking.

Having Sex.

Making Love.

and this is how it breaks down… Read more…

Religion (or lack of) saved my life

This is not some diatribe about how I found Jesus/Buddha/Nyarlathotep and it transformed my life. It is pretty much the opposite of that. Read more…

The following is a reprint of two posts previously placed on deviantart some time ago. The reason I am replacing them here is because she was on my mind a lot today and I wanted to share her with some more people. Read more…

Kiss me, You fool

This is an extension of several tweets I made the other day. I wanted to expand on this and push it out there. I have another call to arms for you people out there, but it will come at a later date. This… is about a beautiful kiss, but starts with an ‘orrible slobber. Read more…

Thanks to the replies, folks! Quick answers…

HERE’S my next blog, happy?

A little bit of innuendo is awesome – as long as you can do it in the style of Harris’s List of Covent Garden Ladies.

Thanks, expect my tweet!

If I could draw, I’d be almost as good as Ben (@Templesmith) Templesmith!

Anyhoo, the first thing I am going to work on is tentatively titled ‘A girl and her squid’  (which is just a working title) thanks to some inspiration from @Paradisaea and one of her drawings… it’s not so much a collaboration, I’m just going to write a -hopefully- short story based on this one picture.

@Paradisaea's girl with tentacles

which is going to have it’s roots in some Lovecraftian Cthulu stuff – again, thanks to @Templesmith.

I’m determined to knock this out quick – I have a heroine and a bad guy and all the rest is filler. As usual, I’ll keep you posted.

Toodles.

Let’s do this right.

It has been nearly a year since I cracked open this blog and I have done nothing with it. Such is my life at the minute. For pretty much one whole year now I have been without a job. I don’t think I need to get into details in this post (maybe at a later date) but everything was falling in on me and I buckled and broke. Read more…

Statement of Intent

June 7, 2009 Leave a comment

I want to be economical here. Try not to waffle on too much. What I want to do with this blog is just to put down the words from inside my head and see how it goes. I wish I had a theme, or a gimmick. I know what I’m like, though – I’ll be slack with posts. One day I might run a huge torrent of information and abuse, fill you with mental images which will sicken, sadden and entertain only to write something completely banal and disappointing another.

I don’t know, I get some inspiration from other bloggers whose words are truly entertaining and I wish to join them – not to emulate them though because they have their style and their niche and they suit it so why should I try to muscle in on their action?

No, I’ll just see how it goes. Join me, won’t you?
