Lyrics

Miserable, Psychopathic, Hypochondriac Wingebag

Sep 03, 2015 910 views No Comments

Here’s the lyrics of a song I wrote after writing the article about idioms. I tried to picture/invent the most negative person possible, consequently any resemblance to persons, living or deceased, is entirely coincidental.

Emotional Juggler

Sep 02, 2015 624 views No Comments

Sole mates- two fishy friends going out for a beer? Sole mates- two...

Broken Glass Omelettes

Aug 29, 2015 688 views No Comments

There is an old Chinese proverb stating that broken glass reflects more light. It is true that shattered glass produces some incredible, bright, sometimes bedazzling reflections and colours. If this is true is it possible that this image can be extended to us, as humans? What if life has not only bruised and abused us but completely shattered us beyond recognition so that we feel...
