And banned AGAIN!

Current mood: Butthurt

I'm onto my second ban within the space of a couple of months. I was only released back into the wild for about a week and then I get myself banned again (and this current one is my third ban overall)
I say I got myself banned, but I think I had a reasonably valid argument in that thread. But when you have Dreadnought wading his stupid great arse in there, with his pro-america, war-is-the-greatest-thing-ever attitude then it's impossible to get a word in edgeways unfortunately.
But what can you do. The UG "team" have decided to keep him around for ages, and one man cannot fight an army, in the same way an ant cannot take down a dinosaur.

Perhaps I ought to leave here for good. I've been here nearly four years now, and EVERYTHING is different, and this place isn't the place I fell in love with.

No one is truly funny anymore, and no lulz are to be had on any board.

Everyone has their mouths open and ready for Kensai's cock to be inserted, because now he's like the biggest fucking thing since Jesus invented sliced bread and cured AIDS. I don't understand his brand of "humour".

All the classic users have grown up, matured and moved on, and I miss them.
The mods are too strict, as even a clash of opinions results in a ban for the one the mod disagrees with. How can this be branded as a site run by it's users when the opinion of the mod is a totally overruling one?

I don't know, maybe it's just me, but I cannot feel anything near the level of love and happiness that this site used to provide.

If it IS me, tell me, because I'd rather know the truth.




Dreadnought sucks
LemonInfluence sucks
Carmel sucks
Frenchy is Scottish, therefore he sucks

But DayTripper is cool.

But Dreadnought sucks, a lot.
That is all.

Banned, again :(

Current mood: Banned

So, I've been banned again. This time my sentence adds up to 45 long days - WHAT AM I GOING TO DO FOR 45 DAYS!?
I probably shouldn't have posted a picture of a pair of testicles; I'll know next time not to do that.

A secret is out

Current mood: Horrifically depressed

And you released it. It's all your fault. What have you done this time.
You have gambled on something you didn't understand; you have failed to comprehend the gravity of what it is you have put out there on the table; bet or fold; you are going to lose everything again.
And for what?
For her?
For you?

You don't even know do you?

You sit there in your room; in your house; in your measly existence, and you sit there alone. You don't have anyone there for you. No one has anyone there for them.
Life is cold. Life is lonely. Life is empty. Life is pointless. Life is short. Life is ephemeral. Life is over

Your life is over.

The only person you can count on is yourself
The only person you can rely on is yourself
The only person you can trust is yourself.
And what happens when that disappears? What on earth do you do when the one person in your life you can trust simply vanishes? Where do you go when you are lost? What do you do when you are gone. I can't see you anymore, you've faded away into the grey and no matter how much I claw at it I can't find you. And now I need you, I really need you and require everything you are urgently.

Because I can feel it today, I can feel it as clear as ever: it is always there, it never disappears. I can feel it holding me at the ankles - strong, firm. The arms that reach out of the ground, no matter where you are. The hands that plough upwards through the soil, and they're always directly beneath you. The ground shakes; your world shakes; your vision peters out; a shadow casts black and ominous and it is there.
Grip once, grip again. Firm. Hard. Strong. It sqeezes you, tight, and from there you are trapped. It has you by this point. But lets face it, it always had you - today is simply the first day you felt it. Today is the first day you felt it AGAIN because YES it HAS been here before. You recognise those cold hands on your ankles when you walk, when you stand in a queue, when you sit in your chair. You know those dead hands SO WELL by now because they have been there before. You've got the scars there to prove it. You know exactly how it weighs upon you, you know exactly how it terrifies you when you are alone because you know what comes next. Yes, it IS coming, and denial will only make the shock of it worse when the inevitable arrives. That cold, clammy chill on your ankle is only the start of something you have felt before and you are dreading the next. You hate the way it catches you slowly, the way it creeps up on you day by day, week by week BUT IT IS ALWAYS THERE. From the ankles, the frosty hands slide their palms up your legs and onto your chest.
He is behind you. You are laying on top of him. You are laying on top of a dead man.
You're paralysed and there isn't anything you can do. You have no one, not even yourself, and there is no escape from this fate, and as you feel his dead lifeless legs wrap around yourself, you wish for the end to arrive and finalise this horrific misery. But no, because that would be too easy wouldn't it. You have to live through this no matter what, and his legs don't let you go. They don't even ease. They bind your own legs together so you can't move them. It clamps you down as his one arm covers your chest and clings you into itself, while his other arm engages his hand, the icy hand that slides itself on the side of your neck and onto your cheek. Rough, brittle, dead. It covers your mouth so you can't scream. And that is the end, you may as well be dead. Instead, you live as the dead - a wandering, lost, empty shell of a human who wants to end the misery.
Your only solace, your only comfort is sleep because he can't hear you while you sleep. You become someone else and you are free from a miserable world you can't think about since you're under the hypnotic spell of a slumber. Aha but he is smart, he knows what he is doing and now he has come to rape you of the final happiness you had, to destroy that final haven of joy that was your untouchable dreams, because now he has found a way in. And that is your end. Life is miserable, cold and suffocating. And now sleep has become a mirror of that. End game. Dead.
And there you were thinking you had done so well by shirking this, you thought that that dark cloud that had been cast prevously had been cast away by you. YES you were FIGHTING this and you WON! You'd BEATEN the monster and cast the dead back into the ground. It had all GONE and you were FREE.
That was until, of course, he came back. He never sleeps, he is always awake and he scours and searches for a way back in. Don't let it back in.
You were a fool to think he would ever leave you, and an even bigger fool if you still believe he will leave you. No, he is here to stay because he is quite enjoying himself at this point. He has a host, a human life to grip onto and to clutch close to his chest. He is real in this world now because he inhabits you. He lives inside your skin now. He sees what you see, eats what you eat, says what you say, kisses who you kiss, fucks who you fuck.
Or, rather, is it the other way. He is inside me now, he is a resident of my body and yet, do I see what he sees? Do I eat what he eats. Do I say what he says? Do I kiss who he kisses? Do I fuck who he fucks? Because it feels like it now.
I am not my own self these days, I am someone completely different: someone I don't even recognise in the mirror, and that is because I am possessed by the demon that is my depression. He has turned me into what I am right now because I am him. He hijacked my persona many months ago and transformed me into what he is. This is a final declaration on my old life, one final goodbye, a last commemoration to my old life that I loved so much and that I worked so hard for.
But I am him now.
And I am not going to be allowed back.

My head and face became a flash; my body strangely

Current mood: Broken

I feel like everything is going awry, like it’s definitely not right. I feel the pressure again, and I hate it with all my soul. I feel the enormous pressure of failure. I feel like I am not at peace with my own mind, like I am being torn apart. I feel very much alone. It’s as if the actions of my day are to just get through my day. I feel like I don’t want to do this any more. I just want to be me. I want to go away to a place of calm, a sleep where my eyes really close, where fear does not exist.

I looked into your eyes and they were not there –

Clouds fly over my head. A passing stream of consciousness. The day is blue, the nights draw out, but I long for those dark jet mornings of deep Prussian blue.

I am sick to death of waiting for another big idea. It’s just not necessary. Freedom of my mind, of my soul, that’s what’s necessary. A good way forward – to invent and live, not relive and reinvent. Put my paws in the old box and see what gets dragged out. A tragic, sad rehash of my old self – an old self that used to be so much younger, full of so much life. I feel today that I really don’t want to do this any more. I am trying to make sense of it all – living – being an artist. Almost not living – everything held back by an invisible string, a small fence that divides me, the real me from the real world.

Today, I feel utterly separate from it. I can’t touch or feel anything. My eyes even have a slight invisible scrim that moves up and down every time I open and close my lids – fuzzy world. YES, fuzzy world. Nothing is hard, nothing sharp. I am very spongy, soft, holey, a little bit yellow - very, very spongy. I am today what is around me, a jaundiced place – sad yellow completions racing to the end of the line.

Apparently today I look happier. Maybe it’s because I swam for the first time in seven weeks. Or maybe it’s because today when I woke up I knew I was going to swim, enter the other element, feel light, weightlessness, not to be attached to the painful standing world.

Today I am very concerned for a friend, for friends. My concern has somehow turned in on itself, on to me. From caring for others I am now left almost loathing myself. I am left with too much me. That is very unhealthy. I need to be busier, more active. Now I’m arguing with myself. I need to slow down, sit back, not join in.

Today, I feel like I have wasted |a lot of my life. Nothing is in the |right place.

How do we measure achievement? Self value? I have rarely, ever, looked in a mirror and felt good. The last time was 2004 just after I had smashed my leg up. I took a photo – a very Helmut Newton kind of thing – in a mirror. My head and face became a flash, my body strangely sexy with my leg in a cast. I took the photo to keep the memory. Now I have the memory and it keeps the photo.

Apart from the pain in my leg, I wish I could look like that again. But my mind, my brain, was a giant slurping bowl of intense unhappiness, severe loneliness and terrible self-doubt. But somehow I took the photo, always creative, making something of the moment, enjoying all my handy craft, touching base with myself. Now it’s like my hands are a million miles from my brain, like a disjointed puppet, jerking one way then the other, not really having any control.

Time is a really horrible state – as in a place. I wish time did not exist. I want to be free from everything that entraps me, makes me human – the day, the night, the food, the love – I wish I could just float away.

But no one does, life is utterly painful, measured, there is very little freedom out there.

Today I am like a beauty queen. I want to make the world a better place but I don’t want to travel and speak other languages. I just want to lay in bed and delegate. I want to be in control, or at least take control.

I am going to leave the studio now. After another day of mulling around, on nothing, not starting, not thinking, just hoping my brain will snap into gear. I don’t have a creative block, a have a strange shadow of depression – it gets bigger with fear. That’s why I want to be young again. If only I can readjust the fear – if I knew then what I know now!

Free Yourself

Current mood: crushed

Hide behind your lies,
And hide behind your hypocrisy.
Hide for as long as you can.

Because the truth is coming to
Get you, and it will find you in the end whether
You want it to or not.

The truth will set you free,
The truth will liberate you from corruption
And misery: like a knave from the block
Of the executioner.

Relieve yourself from the agonising
Throes of your soul which cries out
For harmony.

Relinquish your sorrow and free yourself
From the shackles of villainy
And wrongdoing.
Only then will you yield the salvation
Of your soul upon the abolition of
Your lies.

Hatred is not something that will just
Go away: hatred must fade like the grey
Film upon the surface of a polaroid.
Capture the glorious moments of life when
You are freed from your lies and hypocrisy and hate
And your whole world is brought into
Vibrant colourful savlation.

Free yourself.

A Literary Genius

Current mood: contemplative

I was cycling across a bridge today, and came across this piece of literature which caught my eye. I liked it so I thought I'd share it.


Here I do visit
And from under the eternal stars
Rejuvenate from many lands have I paid homages in times past.
I have XSD (crossed) the sea of sand
To reach the purple Radfan mountains.
Heard I then the Trig El Bill:-
‘The wind passes like a caress over the waves of the desert sands
And the caravan leaves no more trace than a bird’s wing
In the air or fish in water.
Let us flee the crowd for in the multitude there is
No salvation.

Ua La Shauk Fel-Qiyama.
Anni Ja Allah


The original is here.

Guess The Song

Current mood: crushed

All credit on this one goes to timo1, since I saw it in his blog and basically stole it. Anyway;

Step 1: Put your iTunes or equivalent on random.
Step 2: Post the first line from the first 35 songs that play, no matter how embarrassing.
Step 3: Have people guess what songs they are.
Step 4: Bold out the songs when someone guesses correctly.(I highlighted them)
Step 5: Looking them up on Google or any other search engine is cheating


1. Give me a little bit of volume on this
2. I know a girl with the Golden Touch
3. Summer in the city where the air is still
4. I took her out, it was a friday night.
5. There's a hole in your logic
6. Make the world go away
7. This is a ballad dat I wrote
8. Thank you for coming home
9. If I say I don't need anyone I can say these things to you
10. Open your eyes cos another day is dawning
11. Somebody better give me a sting
12. Wait by the phone, laid all alone.
13. Your daddy works in porno
14. You can't manufacture a miracle
15. I think about the things I do
16. I'm in you, you're in me, I can't tell
17. I woke the other day
18. And when I see you sigh
19. Yeah I, I get to know your name
20. It's the music that we choose
21. I've been looking for a trace
22. Welcome to the Jungle, we got fun and games
23. Live in a box and then I call it a home
24. She said I'd blow myself away
25. Someone falls to pieces sleeping all alone
26. You're hiding something cos it's burning through your eyes
27. You're so impossible
28. La la la la la la la la la la, I wrote her off for the tenth time today
29. When you're talkin to yourself
30. You light the skies up above me
31. I love you, but I've gotta stay true
32. Downtown in the shade
33. If you could only read my mind
34. 2 Cigarettes, in an ashtray
35. Loose lips sunk ships

Most of these are easy since the first line is actually the title, so no excuses.
