Disappearing

Kazakhstan was a blast. Beautiful women, great friends, good bars, dancing all night.. then having to deal with idiots all day. Why do we promote the incompetent? Actually that´s not fair. I´ve worked with some great leaders and managers throughout my life. In schools, in industry, in the army. It seems to me that whenContinue reading “Disappearing”

Sunrise to Sunset – for Tasha

This year for the summer solstice I rose early to watch the sunrise over the Mediterranean from the beach at Peniscola. In the evening I sat on my balcony and watched it set. It took me back two years to 10th August 2014. I watched the sun rise as I flew from Astana to Almaty,Continue reading “Sunrise to Sunset – for Tasha”

Here we are being Crass in May.

Where are you? I went to Singapore; sorry I forgot to mention it! And who will teach your classes? That silly girl who has ignored you all! She will be promoted soon as she is vacuous; Just like the Boss and his cronies! Who will check on her? Who needs to? The Boss came downContinue reading “Here we are being Crass in May.”

Bitter

Mines a pint cried the fat man. No need to cry, it’s on its way! Ready in five came the steadfast reply. Bitter today? Idiots causing life to change; Change! Look at your hairdo, your suit, your beard! Stupid old man! Move on to move on, Lucrative styling, ludicrous style. Grab the cliché andContinue reading “Bitter”

Soft surf Peniscola beach.

Kicking through the gentle surf, I see Sea; Life and death. Water of life bitter to taste, killing the tree, Death is the Sea Shells Sanctuary. Broken Rocks, Broken hearts. Even your name evokes in me; Peniscola! Penis, giver of life whether desired or not, Six percent? Cola refreshing the parts we dare not mention;Continue reading “Soft surf Peniscola beach.”

My thanks go out to the lazy invertebrates

Thank God the sun refused to shine, Or I might have thought I was loving you! Walking into that same old trap, heading for the same old crap, Early mornings, afternoon nap, A woman who could really sap. Then out she came with the magic word, Something I’m glad I just heard, SomethingContinue reading “My thanks go out to the lazy invertebrates”

Friends

(On being friend-zoned) Teenage recollections. You never really know do you Al? Take a tip from someone who is blue now, it’s really easy. It was a very nice evening you spent together , said the wind. A final Kiss? Bliss? Miss? What exactly was that, Miss? You want more? Nil Satis (nisi optimum!) LaboreContinue reading “Friends”

Monsters from the Head

Last night I had a weird dream. I will recount what I can remember then interpret the meaning. So in this dream… I am in a suburban landscape moving carefully to avoid groups of marauding Zombies and Vampires. With the large number in this sweet suburbia it was impossible to move without detection and so IContinue reading “Monsters from the Head”

Eclectic catholic

What the feck have I been reading recently? War of the Worlds by H.G. Wells – old Physicists joke… where do you get mercury from? Hg wells… The Bastard of Istanbul by Elif Shafak – reminds me of my old friend Chris After Hitler by Michael Jones – Europe is still recovering The Middle EastContinue reading “Eclectic catholic”

Rain

Rain She came for me again last night; During an outpouring. A downpour of emotion causing consternation in my peregrination. “Why won’t you talk to me?” This alternative reality explained online. “She is a Zombie!” The logic was irrational, no fraction of truth. We dated – We dined – We whined – We unwound laterContinue reading “Rain”
