Hello

Hi, I've had this thing for a while but I've only just decided to start using it on a regular basis. Hitherto, my blog displayed cringeworthy pseudo-political rhetoric, sorry.

I guess this is all because I feel like i'm stuck in a rut and i'm not really being as productive or as creative as i'd like. I'm currently writing a dissertation about the non-hegemonic resistance in the post-Fordist economy and its kinda sucking all of my soul out, its good but I just feel like maybe its my only release and I could use something other than the view into my back garden and hourly tea making missions to occupy my dead time. So now perhaps some of the time spent procrastinating at this laptop will go towards something, anything, rather than just chasing my tail until I fall over.

I guess I was inspired to get out of bed (literally) and do something for two reasons.

1. The latest Burial lp, everything else by Burial, Kode 9 mixing Burial for the Breezeblock, reading interviews with Burial and just the whole aesthetic, I haven't been so inspired by a musician since...ever.

2. A Charles Bukowski poem called Roll the Dice, I've always felt an affinity towards Buk's characters and the language he uses, this one just seemed perfect right now. I can't be bothered to type it out, you should read it though, its nice.

The third mini-reason is JFK, but I don't want to talk about him.

Ciao
