From the Orifice of the Playpen

 
From High A-Top The Play-Pen Mountain Comes The Lunatic Fringe.

So here it is, I am writing this early for a change because I got a line from a Bill Hicks show running through my head. I blame fuckin Fox News for it.

“Here’s The Tower Here’s The Gun, Here’s The Tower Here’s The Gun.”

I have been riveted like glue to the Fox News Channel that’s beamed from The US Live and unedited 24/7. This sniper deal has me thinking. If these guys turn out to be either fundamentalist Christians or Satan Worshipers I swear I am going to be atop the tower with a gun aiming for they’re fuckin ball sacks. Get real people. Satan and God are a myth. If you are going to blame someone for shooting 13 people make it something tangible. Blame the fuckin Teletubbies for corrupting ‘ol Dubya and Tony Blair in a 6 in a bed romp that degraded the standard of Oreo cookies in DC.

You know I just knew that as soon as they caught the person who did these despicable that somewhere along the line would link it back to 9/11 and I’ll be damned if the guy’s name isn’t Muhammad and what was the first thing the reporters wanted to know????

IS THERE A LINK WITH AL-QUIEDA?

Now I totally understand the fear that surrounds terrorism in America and the world at the moment but it’s my belief that not every kook who reads the Koran and subscribes to Islamic doctrines is going to be hiding in the bushes with a rifle or hijacking a plane and flying it straight towards the nearest building. Islam will have it’s own Kooks that independently go out and fuck up everyone’s day by trying to make they’re own point in a stupid dumb ass way.

It’s just the same with all belief structures….

Son of Sam was raised Jewish and converted to Baptist… he is now a Born again Christian.

David Koresh Was a Davidian (alledgedly.. I still think he was in it for the pussy and the guns).

Every Religion has em… so let’s get off of the If you shoot someone and you pray three times a day facing east you are not a Bin Laden butt buddy.

I could go on for pages on this but this aint what you are here for. You’re here to find out the gossip from the Brit side of the water.

 

And now that he has had half a bottle of Valium and is tucked up safe in bed and gale force winds are huffing and puffing like the big bad wolf at our door causing the house to make strange audible noises I sit here unable to sleep. I have what feels like the flu and I ache all over. I am glad to have the day off.

There isn’t much going on over here with us at the moment other than Halloween is coming and the dread of Bonfire night with the possibility of the firemen going on strike just as it is about to happen. Oh and the time rolled back an hour here last night lol.

Though I am going to plan to try and take a long weekend within the next few weeks and take us away somewhere for a cheap weekend alone. Oh and yes the mobile phones will be staying here. I am going to wine him and dine him and take him to bed, and try to take his mind off of work and the rest of the world.

The world can be such a scary place and I feel like a rat caught up in the race. Sometimes I think if I could be GOD for just one day. I’d rid the world of anger and hate. But then what would we have to write about: Peace and love? Not a bad thing I think.

Till next time everyone be safe and love someone today.

Peace and Love
Linda and Paul

I was born Linda Sue DeZarn to a couple with four other living children. Our family was poor as far as money went but we were rich because we had love and each other. I am now 47, mother of two daughter's and proud grandmother of six beautiful grandmonsters; the four oldest being boys and the babies are both girls (took long enuff for the girls to show their pretty faces).

I met Paul Hurwood (aka miskin) online in Excite's Virtual Places (where I also met Cait) in a chat room called Ninian's Poetry Cafe. Had it not been for some of the people in that room I would not be here today. I have led a long hard life most of which can be read in my writings.

by Miskin for Linda
• Stronger Than Steel
• In Honour

Hi there folks. My name is Paul, and I have vital statistics that resemble the national debt of several third world countries combined. As you probably know Linda is my wife and you know the story so I won’t bore you all with it again.
In the words of Joshua one of the grand monsters “I AM A FREAK” and pretty much proud of it too.
I will try pretty much anything once and if I like it or it’s bad for me I will probably try it a couple more times just to make sure. I don’t like to take things to seriously, life is way too short.
Art wise I pretty much like anything that pushes the boundaries of either taste or experimental. My main passion is Old Time Radio, it helps to stimulate the brain and gets you thinking again.

I do occasionally write poetry but I am not a perfectionist. I write what comes into my mind and just see what happens. I think that this the honest way of writing. If it doesn’t make sense it's no biggie as far as I am concerned.
My influences come from all over the place… I get moods from Pink Floyd or whatever is playing on my cd player at the time and the Goons… a wonderfully anarchic mix of surrealism and comedy… if you get the chance try them out.

In closing I want to tell you my motto in life. It’s really simple and when things go wrong and you’re not sure what to do….

FUCK IT

The translation is down to you.

Keep your eyes on the door and the cuffs on the bedpost

Paul
