Oh, btw, I will still be posting on this blog, with everything either then my writing.
Cheers!

Hello Again.
I haven't posted anything in a little while so I thought I would throw up a couple of music videos that I am currently enjoying. The first is a Radiohead offering for the song Jigsaw Fall Into Place; it's a helmet cam music video so it has good new bears written all over it. The second selection is from Richard Walters (solo project of the ex Theremin front man) called Brittle Bones. Listen and enjoy.
Cheers!

The Graph of Metal
Just came across this. If you thinking of starting a metal band one of the hardest things to do is to name it. Here we have the main areas you should be thinking of in your naming scheme and examples from all the greats (and not so greats) of the metal game.
It's rather large, so give a click and start the name game.
Cheers!

Thats One Ugly Mug
So I have been in the market for a new mug to have at my desk at work and settled for a thermos type one to insure my coffee stays warm. I wish I would have seen these first, being first line tech support I think they are quite fitting...
This first tough customer would be super as I sometimes feel the urge to bust some chops when on a daily basis I am visited by this wonderful fellow who insist the computer he is using is broken even though every day i tell him he needs to acquire himself a new temporary user name and password... I guess some people are born with goldfish brains; never fear, it's nothing a pop to the jaw can't fix!
This next snappy little coffee cup with a cute little gun trigger handle would be be perfect to use on those who furiously shake the mouse and proclaim for all the library to hear that "these fucking stupid computers are always broken and no one here knows what the fuck is going on!". I would point it at them and yell "Stick 'em Up!" as I poked the power button which of course they neglected to do before going on their tirade! On days overflowing with these sorts of people I could always make peace with God and turn my mug on myself.
This definitely has nothing to do with any sort of discord in the work place... however it would be beneficial on those coffee runs for the rest of the staff when I wish I had a few more arms.
Finally, there is an on going debate two weather the Sith are superior to the Jedi... I know, I know. Joe has decided to bid the phone calls here farewell by saying "my the force be with you". I think if I had this mug it would put him and his Jedis in their place. The Dark Side is strong in this one!
Cheers!

...and a happy one to you all!
Hello everyone, I guess i haven't written for a while. I hope the new year is finding you all well. It is for me, working, working working, that's what my life is all about. Currently I'm working for Georgian College as the tech guy, it's fun. OH OH OH! I have started writing again and I feel like I'm 17. Here are two of my brain vomits.
An Ill Referenced Love:
It is quite studious, in fact, to say
the night could not be better for a moon dance
or with the stars if it pleases you,
take heart of take my heart.
Speak softly and love viciously
but never in the reverse;
vicious love spoken softly can stop hearts,
a motionless heart calls for bad hymns...
or is that bloodless limbs?
Either way,
Who wants a prayer of ill symphony?
And here is another little nugget of writing, which is infact the most recent. So far it is nameless.
Again and once more I answer:
"your heart is far to big for this place".
Poor mother of magpies,
swollen pith and crux is never secret
once they make their way between your tiny bindings.
Your pith for pithing
your crux for crucifiction.
Never forget, I slept with you offering
fastened to my arm.
In truth, I didn't;
I lay awake and spin the beads.
Rasarium of carion birds
Hail Mother Mary Magpie.
