My friend Dennis whose friend is a menace plays tennis Not the friend that's a menace but Dennis He plays tennis and he went to see the dentist The man went all the way to Venice Not Dennis but his friend who is a menace To reconnect with his woman then miss Now missus she still wondered if men kiss Each other in public like a pub is Back to my friend Dennis His molars are happier so he smiles like Elvis

I like the coming together of two words. My favourite words are compound words. Bookcase Watchmaker Meanwhile Seashore Airplane Moonbeam How dare you sneer at the sniggering nigger near you? Just because you're wearing a Kimono over your monokini doesn't make you an anagram queen Fortune is such that after you've gambled and struck gold, you could end up on the streets mangled and stone cold How tightly you hold on and how much you surround yourself with clutter is in direct proportion Which is why it's not entirely shocking to see a hoarder declutter The science of clutter is intriguing Zero utility with a generous dash of emotional security If utterly neglected garbage is powerful enough to contribute to your mental health It makes you wonder What else is keeping a human mind stable? How ironic is it that lack of sanitation enables sanity! Decluttering can be very cathartic It's like a cold shower after being outside in the hot sun all afternoon...

It's been a few days since I returned from my holiday with my sister in Japan and I'm still happily recovering from the sights, sounds and smells of that literally fantastic country. 1) Amazing sanitation systems Japanese cleanliness is simply unbeatable. Their toilets are the most elaborate you'll ever see. Self flushing? Check. Self cleaning? Yes. Self opening?! YUP . They even have toilets where you can turn on recorded water flowing sounds for those who are self conscious about having too noisy a pee. My mind is most blown by the sheer options of ways your poop taking experience can be enriched. I'm so tempted to start a retail business of Toto/Panasonic washlets! 2) Stations, JR Lines, Subways & Shinkansen To a tourist, the public transport systems in Japan can be quite challenging to figure out just because of the complexity of various service providers and lines. Compared to the London Underground, which I found to be large, Japan's railwa...

Call me a creature of habit, but I have this complacent, almost romantic idea about travelling the world. I indulge myself in consistent, predictable travel quite unlike a adventure junkie with eyes pouring with wanderlust. Two weeks ago though, I felt a change in this attitude when, ditching the usual Uber called 45 minutes in advance, I stepped out of my house and hitched a rickshaw ride to the airport. While the aircraft was taxiing the runway, my fingers refused to search for my take-off song ("Bed" by Jahzzar). Instead, I surprised myself by just listening to whatever the iPod god decided I should hear then. 15 days later I'm sat at the boarding gate for a flight that will take me home just overwhelmed and grateful for all I've had the opportunity to enjoy in the Land of the Rising Sun.  Harshita, my sister who lives in Australia, was my companion for this wonderful holiday and thanks to her diligent notekeeping, I've decided to do compile it all to...

There I said it - I have recklessly been wrecked Kimya Dawson said this when she heard about MJ dying: “Having been fucked is no excuse for being fucked up” So am I to drown in self-pity? No thanks When you splash water in your eyes, your eye socket is practically gargling your eyeballs I never understood people who splash water in their eyes And movies where you see people underwater with their eyes wide open My instinct tells me to close my eyes the second there’s a chance of water seeping in But I don’t understand the world and its people Nobody wants to take a godless decision and funnily, the god needn’t be God No one ever dies from lack of attention It’s better to fake being in love with a real person than admit to being enamoured by a Googlebot But sometimes it is nice for someone to crawl over you regularly Reading you, understanding what’s new Even if it’s so that they can go behind your back and tell the world about you You can’t hear someone else’s thoug...

I'd like a good night's sound sleep More than a night spent cruising the streets I'd like a long face to face conversation More than a short instant messaging chat session I'd like a lovely summer spend swimming in the sea More than a dull winter holed up in bed in front of the PC I'd like strong drink: some gin or maybe some wine? Why not passively lounge with no attention to time? Life has its own mind - it's neither yesterday nor tomorrow So I've decided to live in today - without any sorrow So find me a quaint cottage made for six Housing a quarreling old couple a dog can fix

The finality of death is in such stark contrast to the predictability of birth. Being a psychopath is better than having a psycho in your path S ipping from a juice box titled "Compliance" may give you the courage to step on stage But what if you fell in love with love? And when you fell in love it was to the sound of music that felt like love What if you understood both the value of meaning and the meaning of value? And what if you understood that love was meaning? Then living with meaning would mean living for love When are you really strong - w hen you're strong enough to show weakness? Or are you really strong when you show strength despite being weak? Meaning can be found in another things though Because love's not nearly enough for most people Love has a shelf life Love needs preservatives My heart is still mine And if I choose hope It's my choice You don't get to dictate how much and for how long I should care...
