A Family History part 1 of 2
The first member of the family to live in America was a mail order bride from Japan called Jane. She moved away from her own country to get away from its increasingly militant government and was lucky enough to fall into the arms of a good Boston man. Once in America Jane went about becoming a good...

A Description of a Person
Everything about him was large. A seven foot frame structured by thick, strong bones. I had the feeling that someone could jump on him for an hour and hurt nothing but the soles of their feet. They wouldn't even hurt his feelings. He would still stand up smiling, nodding like an idiot. Except he was...

What A Farce
A few days ago two Pakistan Cricketers were banned for taking performance-enhancing drugs. Yet another moral victory for sport. But whose morals are these? Am I alone in thinking this issue isn’t worth the paper it’s constantly being printed on. Drug users in sport are labeled cheats and in some...

Nice One Roman Polanski
When I’m really low I can’t concentrate on reading. I can’t concentrate on films. Nothing can drag me away from my self-pity. So I try drugs or drink, and perhaps for a day, maybe two, they clear my mind. Usually I have such a bad time on them they bring everything to the surface, let me scream it...

Story telling tools- are they worth it?
I keep seeing storytelling software advertised everywhere on the internet. I can understand software for film scripts, which are generally more formalaic, but short story's and novels? The ones I've seen generally promise an endless number of scenarios to help inspire brilliance and prevent writer's...

Dazed, Confused and Not Making Much Sense
I’ve never really understood drugs. I’ve tried most of them. I’ve romanticized about becoming a junkie, but after a few days I turn into a nervous wreck. There suppose to make you forget yourself, so why do they remind me of my failings. You’re supposed to enjoy yourself on drugs, so why do they...

Teaching the World To Sing
While I’m in Prague I’m trying desperately not to be an English teacher. It’s not that I have anything against English teachers, and actually I did a course in teaching English and really enjoyed the practical side of it. My main problem is the horrible thought of my language becoming so dominant...

Films or Books?
Films are being banned all the time, but books continue to push the limits of public decency. I know that more people watch films, but comparing the novel American Psycho to the 3 minute scene in Reservoir Dogs that caused the film to be withdrawn, all I can see is snobbery. I mean would anyone stop...

Wearing Orange Makes You Look Like a Lemon
What is it with all these people wearing nothing but orange. Initially I thought it was the Dutch football fans supporting their team during the world cup, and then when Holland were knocked out of the tournament and droves of people were still walking around in bright orange I thought perhaps the...
