What Do You Know
You know it's not what you know or who you know it's what you know about whom you know and I know you know 'You know' are the most abused over-used words today you know I'd be happy if never again I hear anyone say 'You know' but wherever you go there they are on the lips of all your friends and you know it never ends they're on TV and radio I'm so tired of listening to 'You know' you...

Reasons why
I haven't written anything today: The fridge needed defrosting Bottle of wine 'not going to drink itself' Need to charge phone (minor) TiVo 75% full, must spend time watching/deleting programmes Note to self: define TiVo for future generations Plus, you'll obviously remember all the amazing slash mundane ideas you had today and write them up later on some loosely defined (series of) date(s) And, it's Friday You'll...

The radicalism of a black main character
She always wondered how it would be If she, a black girl starred in a romantic comedy Where she wouldn't just be used as comic relief And she would be desired by the male lead She dreamed of being comforted And not play a strong black girl where she wouldn't be punished for being seen as 'weak' She could be...

Weatherman
Reincarnated in my next life, a meteorologist I want to be with scientific paraphernalia at hand and land the weatherman's job on TV. Where I can lie without restraint, never apologise for rain and cloudy skies, or for what it is when it ain't sunny with a bright sunrise which is what I promised the night before. I can be completely wrong more...

Premium Member my love for sesame street
Which ones are my favorites? Who can say? It changes hour by hour, day by day Bert and Ernie have a banter so fine But Oscar is adorable in his garbage grime. Count Dracula and Cookie Monster are both a fave. I would have a difficult time choosing which one to save. Miss Piggy is outrageous, such a handful for Kermit...

Premium Member After the Static
She smelled like ozone and old commercials— the kind with jingles you didn’t know you remembered until your mouth sang along. Plop, plop, fizz, fizz, oh what a weird thing she is. She stepped from the screen once the static gave out, a figure shaped from tone bars and missing episodes and sort of resembled Barbara Stanwyck. Maybe she used to be a transmission and maybe she still is. When she moved, I...

Peculiar Sensation
Night is pending. Not even the most anxious can avoid time. Day after day I dread the the death of nothing that the night spawns. The TV becomes my best friend~ a window of light in the abyss. Old TV shows are brighter than the new. Tonight I choose The Andy Griffith Show. I put my earphones in, and turn the volume down (on the off chance sleep embraces me) and I...
