[INTRO]
VERSE 1
Draw the card from the trebled deck
And claim your prize
You don’t have to get old to get wise.
You’ve pulled down the Autumn Moon
From the leaden skies
Your thin smile is a pale disguise.
REFRAIN 1

Non-Musical Title: Conflicting Emotions About Sex
crossposted from Lee Edward McIlmoyle's blog
I’m about to try to write something painful and honest. Bear with me.
Like most boys growing up in the western world of the late 20th Century, I was introduced to sexuality through the pages of Playboy and Penthouse magazines. I was never sold on the idea that women were at their best when being admired ( Read more... ) -

This is going to be a short bit (I hope) on the classic Blade Runner sci-fi mystery.
Okay, three things up front:
1) I write sci-fi. I’m not famous, but I do write sci-fi on occasion.
2) Blade Runner is my favourite film of all time.
3) I am a fan of Philip Kindred Dick’s writing, more so than I am a fan ( Read more... ) -

The Constant Seeds of Doubt

I’m still trying to break the back of this novel. It’s the meanest book I’ve tried yet. It refuses to let me in. I’m starting to hate the fucker. Seriously.
The first act is about a ‘school for gifted youngsters’ (not THAT school). So it needs a number of interesting and different students to make it work ( Read more... ) -
Life, Actually

When you were a kid, ( Read more... )
