I Don't Do this Thing Called Love

I don't date anymore
i don't dine with girls
and i don't entertain

i buy girls lunches
i buy them dinners
and i listen to them vent
all their days worries and troubles
minor anecdotes
and sob stories.

smiling and nodding at the appropriate moments
injected with suitable anecdotes
of people i know
or once knew
of things with little relevence

i sit at the table,
elbows resting.
chewing the thumb end of my clasped hands
vacantly watching their eyes
as hand gestures and lips
juggle stories of nothing across at me

I don't date anymore
I don't dine with girls
but i entertain them
and get nothing in return

Some stuff i've seen...

Lori's drawn up a couple illustrations, and i like them already and i'm excited

look!















Hangovers

















jealous coupling

21st June 2008

Today, the summer has shown its true face by raining on everyones parade
I am now done with education, well i was done a few weeks ago now, but its done.

all i need now is a job.

i haven't found a desire to write, or when i do i'm too far from anything to write on.bummer.
things are slowly working their way to happening, but i shall be moving house soon.

i'll set up a small workshop in garage and get things really going
everything might run from there.

till then, i'll keep my head down and wait for my results.

monday will decide my future xo

Making Progress?

Well, i've written a few pieces in the last few weeks
i haven't made much headway with "The Bachelor", thats kinda bumming me out i guess
though i signed for a new house, thats been the highlight of my life for a while

please could anyone who reads this check out "Second Place" on my deviantart site
cheers

a friend might be helping me with art for work, thats pretty cool

3 exams and then im done with education

Test Print 1

I've just printed an unfinished version of "Life in the Blackest House"
it needs 2 more photographs, 2 more test prints and a front cover















I will probably place finished versions into a distro and into Gallery Glue round the corner from my house

I made a wonderful breakfast on sunday last
