  All times are, as Dickens said, the best of times and the worst of times.  It is also an obviously logical step to realise that each new year or discovery goes further to prove that we are are, at least, trying to step towards an age of wisdom, yet we are always [...]

  Greetings,

  There are those days or nights when disaster strikes a country that the collective atmosphere is very tangible.  People gather around TV’s to keep up to date with what is happening, wishing they could do something to help.  You can sense it in the air itself.

  Today is one of those nights.

  Over the past few weeks [...]

  Greetings,

  It seems like just yesterday that I was on here blogging but alas it was not.  I tried to get back to it January 2010 but I failed, the fire had gone out.  I tried to write and nothing grabbed me.  I can’t say what it was, but a little over 2 years ago and [...]

• thenewvoice8 wrote a new blog post: Review - Memento Mori   1 year, 9 months ago
  

  An original Time Waster song based on the latin phrase - memento mori- which basically means ‘remember that one day you will die’.

  Greetings,

  Greetings,

  I did mean to return here and return as if I had never left - I haven’t gone elsewhere - well to paper for a while just jotting stuff and fannying about with other shit.  But, like all of us sometimes life gets in the way of living and when that happens when we draw [...]

  Greetings,

  Do you know that feeling, maybe it is more of a sensation, you can feel you are on the edge of finding something in your head, not a memory, something vague is coming into clarity but it is still shourded, well I do.  And I had it there, it is sometimes like having de ja [...]

  Greetings,

  Well it is odd to be ‘back’.  A tumultuos time eh!

  I think that lot has been said at Dorries Forum but for my part I’d just like to reflect over the past few weeks in relation to JS.

  When that first message came up - a mere hiccup thought I.  By the time we all heard [...]
