I'm back, after a difficult couple of months. One hellish yet profound film production combined with a 'Rona lockdown later I finally have some time to write again. Apologies for not keeping up with my word of a post every second day, but until Sydney's lockdown is lifted I'll probably be posting a lot more. … Continue reading The Abyss Stared Back →

I'm burning to write something but I don't exactly know what. Everything thought leads into a deep rabbit hole that I get lost in, each way lies madness. I've been thinking a lot about my own idealism, how naive it must be. I dream of this utopian ideal that requires me to tunnel into a … Continue reading I Met the Devil at the Crossroads →

I've been working on a short film for almost three years now, Risotto's Way. A dumb, black comedy about a drug dealers wife trying to escape her husband by getting him killed. It's taken me & the Blackbolt crew three years, & around fifteen to twenty grand, & we haven't even finished shooting it. There's … Continue reading Olympic Failure →

I had a nap at 3pm this afternoon, I kind of slept. But it was one of those naps where you're having vivid lucid dreams that you're semi aware of, but they're not so horrifying that you feel the need to wake up so you just kind of ride it. I always forget 90% of … Continue reading Mirage →

If you … Continue reading Some Bitter Thoughts on the State of “Content” →

Ok, so after saying I was going to try do a blog post every day I promptly missed the next day, shit it went by fast. Anyway, earlier this year I started to get a strange tingly, dull pain that would run up my arms up to the shoulder & would make my fingers numb, … Continue reading Feels Good Man? →

I haven't written anything in about a month, other than a couple of terrible poems. I want to think that it's simply because I haven't been in the mood, or I've been busy; both true. But it does feel deeper than that, I feel like I've lost a connection to an ephemeral force that was … Continue reading Back Again? Blog & Podcast Updates + Why I Hate Social Media →

Parallel to the ancient sea,  On the edge of empire’s dusty streets, Those from here, indulge decadent sin. Act on impulse blessed by Djinn, God’s eyes averted from distracted gaze, Those who live here carouse in vain, Their laughs & dances seem insane, though truthfully, they long for pain, The edge of empire voids all … Continue reading Empire’s Edge →
