DOOM IN THE ROOM Feb 28, 2024

Show notes

Living as an artist's muse, you can understand the expression of "The Doom In The Room." What artists don't realize is that their egos can be so burdensome to everyone else. Probably, this is how they have to be in order for them to achieve what they do. This is usually why their muses are always so miserable. While living with an artist as a muse, I was painted with my own blood; She thought it to be a wonderful contrast of the color red splashed onto a stark white canvas, which was my Anglo-Saxon skin, finished it looked reminiscent the of the George Cross.

O C D Feb 27, 2024

Show notes

This is a musing I wrote after listening to my father, who had been conscripted into the British army during the Second World War. You can quite easily see why, by year twenty three, most members of the military have gone completely mad with OCD. It's perhaps due to the esprit de corps of the British army, which has a relentless marching rhythm beating to the sweet spot tempo of 120 from day one. Your heart, soul, body, and mind are recalibrated and realigned to the measured metronome of the military kind in order for you to keep in perfect tune while playing together in the theater of war with the other synchronized members of your platoon.

SILK PURSE , SOW'S EAR Feb 25, 2024

Show notes

A musing about two relatives who should never have entered into a doomed relationship due to their persuasions and personalities being planets apart—one a reclusive miser and the other an extravagant extrovert. Perhaps now, with the internet, we might make a much better match.com or sexual selection of it with God Google's precision and profiling us to the last detail of our mortal minutiae. It should make for some interesting pairings that are not left to the seven senses of the sapien.

OXFAM Feb 25, 2024

Show notes

The Oxfam shop or as we call it "The dead man's drop" is an essential part of our high street culture we all of us at some stage find ourselves sifting through their silt as if stroking and smelling the scents and spirits of our past relatives like some lost and found bric-a-brac burial ground we old elephants come to rummage around amongst the bones and skin of our not so long ago departed kin. Unfortunately all the objects mentioned in this musing is what I have purchased and given away to friends and family as Christmas and birthday presents including many more objects d'arts or as most of my recipient's see them , jumble sale junk.
