It's a simple game. You win when you stop caring about it.

The Finite Curve

















You will only be hurt a finite number of times during your life. You have an infinite number of ways to deal with it.

The Angel Of Almost













Then I was somewhere else, and it was bright. A voice said

"If you'd carried on practicing that song you almost got right, you would've been great. Bigger than the Beatles."

It continued

"If you'd carried on working on that book you almost finished, it would've changed the lives of many, many people."

Then it said

"If you'd tried to reach the one you loved just a little bit more, when you almost had them, your life would've been completely different."

And I asked

"Is this what happens when I die?"

And the voice said

"Almost."

The Men With Guns























It's not that there's more than you can say. It's that there's more than I can bear.

I was on my way home.

(Turn right).

I'm still alive.

Editor's Note

I got hijacked at gunpoint last week. It's one of those things that happens sometimes in South Africa.

We say

"At least you're ok." a lot here.

My head, after the incident, isn't as ok as I would've hoped. I have become slightly agoraphobic and withdrawn. Hence my lack of participation on twitter or anywhere else really.

I'm fine. I don't feel like talking about it just yet. Until then, thank you for your understanding.

The World Needs More Fun (And Less Ice)

















The only reason any of it exists, is so that you can have fun while you're here.

The Glass Tower






















Until you are no longer the pictures that chase me down a flight of screens each night. Until the part of me that you first touched, forgets.
