The Who had a great line in their song DANGEROUS saying:

FENCES, we put up defences

Then we come to our senses

If it keeps them out

Then it keeps up in…

That makes us dangerous

KEEPING UP with the Jones is a trap that I used to fall into…

I’d say that I was a CLIFFHANGER from the ages of sixteen to about twenty-two. After that I found myself some safer ground. Luckily…

HOW AND WHEN is depressing so you might just wanna skip this on and move along to the next one… Depending on what mood you’re in…

SPINNING addresses the issue of whether or not you want to explore your own mind…

I’ve met some true Angels even though I’m STILL WALKING THE EARTH…

When the end of the world comes will you be wearing a clean shirt?

SURVIVING THE STAIRS is an amalgam of an experience I had while travelling abroad…

Is it really true that all butterflies have some sort of built-in global positioning system or do you think that they use something else?

I’m sure that there’s a bunch of you out there, like me, just waiting for the next flood…
