it’s odd, when i first started writing under the skull cull logo it seems that the search engine terms that dragged people to this page were somewhat weirder. perhaps the more content you get the better quality of surfer gets directed at you? like internet karma or some such bullshit. i don’t think that can [...]

a whole day swamped with the efforts of stupid people with unfunny jokes. i never did like the kind of pranks that april fools tend to plump for, and seriously, the guys who push the whole agenda of that dumbass day are the april fools. at least i suppose it is not as commercialised as [...]

As with a lot of the works by Herman Hesse this book is not large in regards to the number of pages but the largeness of the spirit contained within is immeasurable.
Sometimes you read a book and you feel that serendipity has delivered it to you, so closely does it seem tailored to the needs [...]

I suppose as a child I was pretty lucky in that my dad’s taste in programmes pretty much matched mine and my brothers — he was into all the sci-fi stuff and the cartoons (he still plays with lego for chrissakes). Anyway — to the point, as if it is important and in any way [...]

I must be on a books that inspired me kick at the moment — first Pay It Forward and then this, which I read around the same time. That was fiction and this is true. The other thing that both of these books have in common is that they made me cry.

I think, to a degree, being part of an exhibition called Sensation damaged this painting and limited its impact. I really wish that I had got to see at the gallery — that long walk that they had designed towards that iconic image: a child killer recreated from children’s hands. A lot of the Young [...]

Sometimes coming on here and looking at the blog stats makes me feel like I am sitting on a toilet taking a really long shit and occasionally someone else comes in, notices the bad smell, and leaves — hanging around for just long enough to hear the odd plop to confirm that the shitter is [...]

I have had a lot of cause to think about nature and nurture of late and their role in shaping the way that you look at the world. Genes and memes are both things that I am interested in. Genes transmit the genetic data that apparently shapes the person you are, drawing on the encoded [...]

for some people being an arsehole comes as naturally as waking in the morning — other people have to really work at that shit. i think the ones who are unaffected are a better class of arsehole because what kind of arsehole works at it? being an arsehole should be natural. i feel that i [...]
