• I let myself flow I swim through my mind back and forth My soul still sings the song we wrote together We once had a dream We had everything We rode to the end of the world We rode on searching We climbed skyscrapers But they were destroyed The peace…

  • Writings and self-beratings

    Sigh. I’m in a particularly angsty period at the moment, triggered by all sorts of stuff that really shouldn’t bother me. It makes me useless and unproductive, and the neglecting of chores builds stress which induces further incapacity to get a hold of myself and do something meaningful with my…

  • This new year

    Right then. So the Earth has once again passed that arbitrary point in its orbit which we define as the beginning and the end of a year. The entire event went by without much celebration on my part, since some abstract entity or other saw it fit that I should…

  • A new home

    So. I have a home. It’s one of those excellent luxuries too often taken for granted. After five months of homelessness I finally have one, and I thoroughly enjoy it. That, and the peace of mind that comes with not having to stress about where to spend the night every…

As a tiny attempt to compensation, here’s a super-simple recipe of my own making. I have even served it…

    Everything that happens is devoid of context Independent Isolated incidents But everything happens for a reason And that reason is you You, at the age of reason Responsible Not for thoughts and feelings But for your actions Everything is either wrong or right True or false The world is black…

  • My mind has no sex

    I work at a planetarium. In my job I get a lot of questions, from children and adults, that I’m supposed to answer to the best of my ability. Questions about stars, planets, galaxies, and the Universe in general. But the hardest question, one which I get from time to…
