The Fake Blog.

Any people out there who like to search for and read blogs?

I’m not on about the blog that sells you this or that, just the good old down to earth blog that tells you how the blogger genuinely feels about something.

I suppose you could call them old school blogger. Nowadays everyone and his goldfish is blogging for this electronics firm, that drinks company or download site. The ads they carry are stupendous in quantity and stupid in believability, as of course are the moronic pricks who think or pretend they’re giving the world in general an opportunity by providing a myriad of these pathetic click-on boxes.

Memories And Lies.

Memory; it’s a funny old thing. Remember that time you got your fifth birthday present? Yep, that was it, the cowboy outfit with two shiny six-shooters, or that dolly that pissed its knickers whenever anyone spoke to it. It’s all fake. All you remember is what mum, dad, or sis told you.

It dawned on me about an hour ago that most of my life is one big made-up lie. Continue reading this post »

A Musical Inclination.

I hate popular music. I hate how blatantly artificial and commercial it’s become.
Sorry if I’m being glum here, but I just got to thinking about past decades, and how essentially music had defined them. The 60’s, 70’s, 80’s… they conjure up images of influential musical legends, artists who were the best of the best at their craft. And now here we are, ten years into our precious 2000’s. I wonder what kind of musical cornerstone we have left for future generations, what kind of artists we the public have chosen to glorify with platinum sales and number ones. I listen vainly to what’s out there.

The year is only thirteen hours old and I wonder how many thousands have already been written. All starting along the lines of; well for 2010 and beyond, I predict that blah de blah de blah will happen. Do any of the bloggers actually think we give a rats bottom what they think will happen.

Tommy the downcast doomsday blogger says; “People will start preparing over the next two years for the end of the world; people will realize the Mayans knew what they were talking about”

Labels and Clothing.

By Wunderkind.

“He wears different hats”. “He’s the heir to the crown”. “Those are some big shoes to fill”. A lot of the time, responsibilities and power are associated with the clothes and adornments a man wears. It’s a kind of labeling. When you see a certain decoration on a person, treat him with respect; he’s earned something. When you see a kind of taint or stain on the person, there’s something off about him; avoid him, or don’t associate with him too much.

Poetry Workshops and Critique Forums.

Poetry workshops and critique forums (this link takes you to honest feedback); why do people post on these sites? Most of the people I see putting poetry forward seem to be looking for nothing less than a full bodied smattering of praise.

God forbid someone actually makes an honest critique of a poster’s precious work. If you’re one of those sad bastards who prefer to give and receive such honesty in the hope of improving your skills as a writer, then an average workshop or critique forum isn’t the place you should be.

I’ve been in a few places that tell me I need thick skin blah, blah, blah, and I start to put up a poem or two. (I also make sure I give a decent amount of feedback to others).

The Pen Blogs.

Blogs about anything and everything. A set of eclectic posts describing my thoughts on any given subject.

Some will be rants, others will be nice and cuddly. What ever I post about I’ll try and be honest. I’ll have a potty mouth at times, but it’ll be an honest potty mouth. I struggled to come up with my first blog, in the end I decided to do a blog about poetry sites in general.

Take a look at the blogs sister site; The Pig Pen.
