More Excerpts from "Life Tips For The Young"

Day Dreams Day Dreams exist to make you realise that yes indeed you did just doze off for a few minutes at your desk when you should have been working. You might even have snored. Snoring The main purpose of snoring is to alert your loved ones and intimate partners that although they are important to your sense of well being, acceptance and belonging they are not as important as your need to ful ly self-express even while asleep and if they don’t like it they can lump it. In physiological mumbo-jumbo snoring is caused by the inflation of the Snorkus Reticulii Flap which is invisible during the day time or when one is in an upright position but visible at night or while lying horizontally. The SR Flap is believed to have developed over a million years ago to help scare away predatory mammals on the plains of Winnebego. Visions There are two sorts of visions: the cheap ones that have absolutely no monetary value and the dear ones from which a lucrative lecture ...

Only The Thief Knows When and How He Will Attack

A certain amount of modesty prevents any balanced individual from claiming that the reason things are tight is mainly the fault of someone else. The rich rely on the normal human decency of other people to permit them to continue on with their pilfering of the world, its resources and its citizens.

Leatherbacks and Syrup

I never considered myself a troubadour, or a traveller or a restless soul. I always felt I was a solid, down-to-earth dude with his roots firm and deep in that part of the earth upon which I happened to live at those times when I had such thoughts. I don't just write sentences that way... it's the way I speak, too. Only thing that's removed with the written word are the often-times very long pauses in between thoughts. That sentence might have taken a week to write. That’s the majesty of the written word. You can figure it out over time. That's why I often use so many dots. Some people hate little dots. "Over-punctuation"  they call it. “Sloppy, juvenile.” To me they are essential.  At their most powerful they are like punctuative footprints walking across a literary gravesite. You can hear the silence in them ...  Sssshhhhshshshsh ... hush ... quiet ... They are made of sheepskin ... I remember when I wrote certain songs because I remember wh...
