Sun, Smiles and Skirts; The oxygen of youth, Never doubting my place on earth, I didn’t have to be the responsible one. Parents full of contradictions, and threats to make me comply, surrounded by relatives who really cared not. Schools never felt right for me, So I quietly just accepted my lot. With no contemplation […]
Upon waking in the morning, To when your eyes close at night, If you’re living with a Party Party, You never really say goodnight. It’s a funny story to tell, It always starts out so well, If you happen to hook up with a Pity Party, You’ll find your life going swell. But […]
As I stand in this place of no consequence, the new puppy runs freely around my feet, it’s late, I’m waiting, waiting.

Fretting about your future Never seemed so ridiculous, What future? The die is cast, All life ends. Period. Fret about life, and live.

Religion is now simply too obvious to see as anything but a will, albeit oft now a shroud for paedophiles, but also a way for a minority to judge, manipulate and cajole the majority. To think religion is the reason gay people can’t marry must surely make all gays clear that they are still not […]
