Very Old Jpegs






Francesca, 30

i hear voices too. have done since my teens. they counted my calories for me. i had weight gain issues. i would rely on one single product on the market to keep the fat off. it gave me the runs. i spent more time on the toilet than I did in class. the voices could see what i was doing. they told me to collect stool samples to show my doctor, to label them with dates in purple pen. i almost did. they told me to do a lot of things, including telling my younger sister she was adopted, giving up my room at the ratty, a hostel for the homeless, and never to shave my legs again. these are the little things they told me. they also commanded bigger events, such as cutting, making accusations, verbal assaults, vandalism……

sometimes i obeyed, other times I didnot. i wrote letters to my mp, said the voices were real, they were trying to get rid of me, i was on a wipeout-exterminate/kill slate, life was cheap here like in mexico, there were no rules or moral honcho at the top, only low guys roving round being heartless, i couldn’t think on my feet. mp refers me to clinician, clinician is a former bully from school who wastes no time restarting to bully me in a professional capacity, lying about my pill diary, turning me away from appointments booking too many appointments etc one day I hear painful shouting on her work phone, who is that suffering I think, does she know her or has she done it

eventually I slice up one wrist, use weak hand for effect to slash down, bleed out in kitchen, voices throw a party, I even hear balloons being blown up and music, neighbours always spying won’t let me die in peace, call corrupt coppers who bust door down, find me lying down unable to cry, think what the hell…….the wards i belonged to had werewolf full of screaming there in observation cage. i ask staff what is wolf for they said don’t worry. i think there are actors and directors putting props around me like on hollywood set. i mean, it looks like real yappie wolf. it talks like joe pasquale who says hurry up move yer feet whenever I consider sitting down.

Nurse puts something in my throat during sleep, egg maybe, hatches next day in my stomach, parasitic arachnid, makes me vomit and panic, can feel bristles on legs but get over it, I grew up on a farm, my baddies may or may not know this, label this one in your stool sample collection if or when it comes out the other end. had other bloodsuckers over the years, won’t go into all details here, some came out other times some didnot, older braver now chow down whatever I want, drink smoothies and frappes and mochas, let them dribble down my chin feel enjoy pleasant sensations, voices tell me to stop try to ignore.

I believe be a positive person live well look after yourself maintain healthy aura and vibration depend on no one be independent and be OK

Not Just Me

i allowed my domain to get taxed by leaving my email open on a suspicious sex site last year. they wiped out my socials including the emails and then proceeded to my personalised dot com. strange posts are appearing in my

[(► ~ D*/e*/S*/*i*/G*/*N ~ ◄)]

tabs. one of them is a naked selfie of me which I can’t recall ever taking. it seems that now they know everything there is to know about me, they deem it fair kop to usurp my dot com and use it as a soapbox to wash me out with unexciting streams of blocky code (to begin with). i doubt there’ll be toxic videos posted here, everyone knows i HATE toxic people and their toxic things, including their toxic places and their toxic ideas, but it’s what this influx of wannabe shared ownership symbolises that is so infuriating. it’s the access that is unsettling. that naked selfie could be anywhere. my tik tok is okay

i thought I had a handful of meaningful

R-a-n-d-o-m / R-e-a-d-e-r-s 

(proof researchers)

who commentated often

but it looks like it’s just an isolated AI program

not real dudes

i’ve been my whole life in some sort of program, think MK-ULTRA meets west world – but I haven’t seen the truman show, although i understand that the main character’s life is basically the centre of a reality tv show. i can live with that, so long as I can dot com my way out of it everyday. now my only release is up for grabs. what do I do? who do I complain to? i checked my email. i need an email to complain about a stolen email. no email.

1year Abstinent

Hi there folks, things going good, harassment still all over me, attempted torment still all over me, but pulling through it by remaining in Christ. No signs of

/ t / e / m / p / t / a / t / i / o / n / ꙮ

A year off porn, don’t wanna tempt fate, but I haven’t even got a TV or PC, so you can relax there. No desires lingering within, apart from a redundant mild fascination with nipples. Nipples are calling to me for some reason. I think they are hugely interesting features on the female anatomy. Who doesn’t?

I find quite a few aspects on a woman ‘interesting’. But not so interesting that I’ll be jeopardising my future.

I heard a man in the fellowship say last night that he would sell his house, his health and his freedom for that second drug, when he’s all in for flogging his soul to the darkness. Wow. He coined it perfectly. When I’m hawking my soul, it’s much the same. The grandmother goes in, the eternity goes in, the lot. Anything for that next fix.

A large fat stripe up the conk.

While gawping at those nipples.

Another guy said he was addicted to porn while eating Toblerones. He didn’t achieve orgasm, he just ate Toblerones. No drugs, no partner, simply Toblers. He had the group in hysterics, but I didn’t believe him. The Painted Dolls I would once voyeur wouldn’t have that, no chance. They’d be pointing through the open portal monitor and barking instructions. You may think ignore them, or turn it off. I tried all that for years.

I’ve concluded that porn and nicotine are the two hardest vices to give up. If anyone has any opposing opinions then inbox me your versions asap, I’ll be most intrigued to know what you reckon. Heroin, perhaps, or methadone, you’re thinking? Cool delicious pints of beer? Tough isn’t it? They all sound like great ideas. A fag and a shag for me.

Anyone who wants to know my struggle, simply glimpse back over the last couple of years of this blog. I’ve been up and down like a Yo-yo, trying for 30 days mostly. Now I shoot for 90. So you can see that I’m still a novice in the Recovery game. But I’ve learnt so much along the way, the education has been invaluable. And of course, I went of the University of Life.

Taboo Tony

I’m being accused of having no original ideas by a stripper who’s just been published online. He’s penned a marvellous tale, I have to hand it to him, called Take Wood, Eat. It’s about a male sex worker who gets locked in a pub with a gaggle of hen do bashers who turn into vampiric cannibals when the Bloody Marys are poisoned with a chemical agent from an alchemy student. I won’t spoil the ending by telling you if he survives getting eaten alive naked or not. Guess which fully engorged bodypart interests them the most…?

You’ll have to find it. Although I do warn, finding published stories online isn’t easy. I have some there myself on ezine sites and they have a tendaency to go missing. All my art hosting sites have suffered the same fate. That’s why I trust my agent Gus Kidney to manage this simple Google blog, which has lasted 16 years and is still going. Those webpage builder and pdf displays have always let me down. Hell, I even lost my Twitter and Facebook. Good luck if you’re only just starting out. All you need are the socials really, that’s my advice, unless you’re a consummate professional, like myself, and strive to reach a larger audience.

Facebook is, after all, limited to 5000 friends. And it’s nice to have somewhere else online to call home.

“Champ Not Chump, From Ex-Con To Icon” – that’s the motto this stripper goes by, ‘Taboo Tony’ for short – happened to be ripping my physique as well as my conceptual conception methodology. No ideas! Big belly! Just because he earns more. And trains harder. With his tanned Abs.

How many sex scenes have you done? He asks. Not without a drop of intimidating maschismo.

(stroking chin) Hmm. Let me see. About a dozen, perhaps, maybe? Including one in a Biffa bin though, so have that one.

I do a dozen in a single novella, he replies. One with an anorexic Irish vagabond, an obese Atlanta banker, a wall-mounted plastic phallus, and a shire pony.

But that’s enough sex talk! My blog is under threat from AI takeover! I thought I was safe because I use three descriptive adjectives before a noun. I thought my technique was too ‘humane’ to emulate.

Hey, maybe I can beat it by writing about something only a human could possibly write about. Like stripping outdoor paint in the rain, for example. Or using only little fingers and thumbs on the keyboard when typing. Or growing up on a farm. How many AI robots have grown up on a farm and are now employed by the Chinese Police Department? I know I don’t understand what I’m on about, but I’m really concerned about this invasion of my virtual shelf space.

One glitch or error, and this brainy bookish bastion is down in the dust. Changing my password helpy no.

What will I do then? Write another novel to plonk under the bed? Fill in another scrapbook to carry around in my rucksack, showing randomers in the pub? Or give up the ghost completely?

I would just say to keep an eye out for

P i e b a l d 7 7 

elsewhere if this takeover business has its wicked way. Look out for bigger better fonts and colours and general 'coding style' texty prose. Still, it’s better than being kidnapped by the neighbours and having them post my own execution video live on my own blog. You never know, in this grisly white swirl of a whirl we live in (white man’s world). Stranger things are ongoing at sea.

Always remember, folks, that just because you’re paranoid, doesn’t mean they’re not really trying to kill you.

Don’t go bonkers on a killing spree if you feel that you are being tormented. Stay calm to everything and don’t react!

You might think I’m having doubt about losing this digital home. In the grand scheme, it’s not important. What is? We can’t take anything with us. We all die alone. The act of clinging to and coveting is described as Self-Cherishing in Buddhism. It’s the root of all suffering, they reckon. There’s nothing quite like letting go of stuff. It’s liberating. What is love without sorrow?

Shove your rough love, you might think, if you’re in a mood. I know exactly how you mean there. Taboo Tony is always shoving it.

Special Purpose Letter

Pleasant greetings there, Sister.

I lose the feeling in my legs every time you get in touch. I have to sit down to fully absorb your messages. I read them quietly and reflectively on my 2 seater. I relive our time spent together each and every day. It was one hell of a ride. Between the estrangement and all the others and all that…I think that between the both of us we’ll manage to dismantle Snodge again if he ever reappears. I won’t touch his car again tho coz that was out of order.

I haven’t looked at you or any other of the pictures for months. 108 days to be precise. I’m now in a state called ‘rhythm’ which means pure abstinence from all harmful things. The pictures I DO NOT consider harmful but the banishment, isolation and drug use behind them still smarts a sensitive spot riding deep down much so innermostly. If I were to return to that fleshly place again I fear my spirit may be overrode and locked in a purgatory rendered inescapable by my low self-esteem.

You still look great however x

I think we all do. Except ket-head Friday Born (joke)

Immortalised on film.

Remind me to never visit Japan.   

And as for Grace. Wow. Every time I think I am over her cute dimply chops I start crying buckets. I can’t go to the grave anymore although I did see orbs there last time, they were hovering above the Brilliantissimum trees like fairies. She loved fluffy clouds so if it exists I think she’s there. Heaven, I mean. Where else? I haven’t heard anything from the other side though, like disembodied voices or unexplainable presences. I really thought I would do. My mind was split open on that count. She was ever so spiritual, like you know. Praying for the angels if she’s with them – she might be boring them with her love of cockney rhyming slang. She made her own up.

The tea raid made the mare have her cup sewn up’.

What Does 'Melisma' Mean?

Have I mentioned that my blog is under threat from AI programs? I’m afraid that they are operated by a spotty teenager who’s bored of Geek Retreat and  wants to ruin my esteemed, high-profile, renowned reputation by posting his ex-girlfriend’s own slash metal videos on here.

The US big boys play slash metal music to Guantanamo prisoners to make them believe in the Devil of the West. Don’t ask me why. A little birdie tells me its fear driven. My mate told me – who happens to be a slash metal band. You should see him, he’s a one man mosh pit.

His tattoos read HELL above one eyebrow and YEAH above the other.

It’s an endearing attribute, being able to go headbanging alone in a room with music rhythms you both love and adore. When was the last time you danced? Or sang loudly? Both great for feel-good chemicals in the brain. Recommended enthusiastically. I do both every day.

I sing along to hymns and carols jubilantly in church twice on Sunday, but there’s an elderly gentleman from the Jigsaw Puzzle Club who’s made it his purpose in life to sing louder than me.

He’s all about ‘m e l i s m a, which means multiple notes per syllable, and something I am helplessly jealous of, because I’ve been listening to Swedish Symphonic frontmen who I emulate do it for years.

He’s had vocal lessons at a music academy, whereas I’ve had a chorus button on a Casio keyboard.

I can’t be having that, as I’m there to impress the grab-a-grannies who female-back us both from the cold pews at the back, so I’ll have to have him kneecapped and shifted out of the way for a season, so I can get into some of the old-timers giant-sized knickers. Some people don’t find big knickers raunchy but I like them, in case the oven gloves for the bin-lid pizza go missing.

Teddy Ratbone from the arse’end of the estate will shoot anyone for three hundred notes hard cash down payment, no questions argumented about. He’s done it twice already. Once with Rodger The Bullet Dodger, who survived because, get this, ‘he turned on a tanner and ducked at the same time’, hence his name, and the other with Moschino Alice, who has COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease), and received a punctured lung with ‘terminal precision’, in Ratbone’s own words. He called her a big titted cowbag for her trouble.

There’s been quite a few murders on my estate, since I’ve lived here. Maybe I’ll tell you about them on another occasion.

The Act Of Imparting Life

I suspect that an AI program is slapping up posts here at the spot, without written permission from the publisher. It’s shooting out feelers for reactions. xXCODEXx wasn’t even read. It’s not worth the depression of a [DELETE] button.

I always thought I was too clever for AI, but it’s programmers are more determined to undermine my fictional odyssey into the multi-rippling layers of reality’s underbelly. As I sew the butterfly effect up behind me, cauterizing the past, harnessing the present, promising myself a future, something so cold as a computer program attempts to rip open my soul. All I want to do is write about Earth. All they want to do is take pictures of my empty wallet.

The Painted Doll

I’m still a whole year ‘clear’ away from the grip of porn. I’ve been writing several women in my life some messages on gift cards. These are inspirational verses I’ve created in order to let them know that they matter to me. I see the opposite sex differently now. When I was ‘pornolized’ I objectified them. I only paid them any attention if they were getting ram-raided from the rear by a big buck. If they didn’t have any make-up on they may as well have been invisible.

They punished me, for seeing them this way, over the years. As objects, I called them Painted Dolls. But Painted Dolls have feelings, and their imperfections, although far fewer than standard women, do not like to be insulted. They all got rather bitter with me. I’m not sure that a strictly superficial relationship can stand the test of time. But emotions…complicate things.

I mean, could I ever love a Painted Doll, whose primary purpose is gratification with sexual pleasure? Wouldn’t I prefer a pole vaulter, who looks graceful in the air? Or a seamstress? My nan worked in munitions against Hitler. What has a Painted Doll done, apart from open her legs on camera? Or whipped her way to the top?

What if the Painted Doll IS the pole vaulter? What happens then? I happen to find my favourite pole vaulter sexually attractive, by the way. Jeez, what am I going on about? I guess I’m trying to explain that porn compromises the Olympics, I’d say? In a round-a-bout way. Especially the skimpily-clad female volleyball.

Royal Princess Charlotte was on the front cover of a broadsheet just before Christmas. Broadsheets cost £4. I’ve never bought one. For this photo I purchased the paper and I have the picture on my wall. For a man in active porn addiction, there’s only one thing he wants to do with a princess. Not me, any longer, not with Charlotte. It’s little things like this that are the reward for kicking hardcore into touch. I can fall for a princess again. I can appreciate little girls. I know that sounds seedy, but imagine that, as a father, you’re invited to your daughter’s netball game, and you’ve been up all night watching porn? Hypothetical, granted, but what if?

I know what I’m on about here, because a Painted Doll (far from a little girl) once put a spell on me with her pendant. I also swallowed her yogurt, if you know what I mean. And she swallowed mine. She wanted us to make a suicide pact with death bags in a running car. Social services had snatched her kids just because she smoked weed. That’s how much it means to them, if you bring them to a happy ending and take communion with their binding essence, they’ll dedicate themselves to you for the rest of their life. So you better be on your best behaviour.

She drove her last boyfriend into an overpass beam at motorway speed in a brave cry for help/bid to end them both. He wouldn’t listen to her. He kept dissing her by turning up the radio when she was trying to communicate with him. He also emptied her drugs out of the window, not to piss her off, but because he thought they were been trailed by CID. She was vying to impress upon him that bringing a child together into the world means something, it really means something, you can’t walk away and prioritise rugby with the lads on a Saturday…I don’t know the full story, but he ended up in prison for something to do with a brick and a jewelery shop window, after they both recovered from the crash with only minor cuts and bruises.

No I don’t drive anywhere with her. We take taxis. Or did.

As of today I’m single, which I find is the best way to be. A wizened lone wolf. My nickname in da hood at the moment is the Master Maker, because I’m always dreaming up cunning ideas for movies. Hollywood producers read my mind and update their portfolios with my cutting-edge concepts in real time on set. They are always trying to motivate me to get high on toadspawn so my input is floridly enhanced visually. They’re perpetually on the prowl for innovative advances. Ideas, ideas, ideas, on the snap please.

I look just like any other civilian to Joe Blow’s unobservant eye, but on the inside I matter on the global stage, in elite industries like Hollywood. When I catch a glance of my reflection in a casino window, with my guarded, bearded countenance, I am reminded of cops n robbers, of the dance between good and evil, of espionage and treason and justice and other big deals which occur in big minds; snaky rain-streams warp my image, running down the glass, the wind blows on the ember of my cigarette, sirens stir in the distance, my thoughts churn on inside my cranium like designer shirts in an industrial tumbler, and all the time surrounding there is danger on the street, mayhem in the manors, cheats and scammers in the alleys, dogshit and chewing gum on the pavements, sandy flecks of glassy glitter in the pavements, shadows of the living on the pavements…

Then I walk away from myself, and focus on the job at hand. It’s just a rainy casino window and a pavement. But it’s what my mind thinks, when it’s not being a vegetable watching Eastenders in a boring room. It limps out of its box and goes AWOL. Into Hollywood.

When I’m not being menticided off, that is. Seriously, I almost walked out in front of fast-flowing traffic yesterday. The voices and hallucinations were severe. In the end I rolled with the punches and bought myself another day, so here I am. Try and hang in there too. A pleasant day might be just around the corner. Maybe even in Hollywood, like me. You’re more than worth it.

Bothered

I’ve been advised to embrace low quality drafting when I haven’t got the foggiest what to say. Is that what you think this is? Low quality drafting? I’m far too good to publish! The editors I send my stories to haven’t got the mental wherewithal  to wrap their brains around the poetic sci-fi endings I perpetuate my stories with. I tend to end with a bombastic open ending which leaves the White Voider (reader) cliffhanging his or her way into imaginings of a sequel. I actually start penning the first half of the sequel in the second half of the ending, bringing in fancy speculations from ideas of a follow-up before I’ve even started a goddam follow-up. Why can’t two stories, a 1st one and a 2nd one, co-exist in one ding-dong epilogue?

If I have a funny feeling about the tale, I’ll burn the first chapter and start from the second. First chapters are usually just setting the scene. I remember a right jolly ole preamble of a chapter I wrote about a dying man shopping in Tesco. He was suffering due to over-exposure from harmful wavelengths emitting from a futuristic radiation machine that could project sexual partners made of star dust into your bedroom with you. Sounds bollocks I know and much of it was, but the ending time-travelled into medieval times where I was reacquainted with a woman called Ethel Franklyn who was the daughter of a woman called Petronella.

I knew it sounds sad writing about characters from my own books but they were so enigmatic to me at the time, I was in my pomp with them, writing in the summery evenings outside at a desk in the garden, hunkered over my notepad with a refreshing yogurt drink. Ethel was what you called an ‘Editor’ in a bloodsports arena, she went around terminating the fatally wounded. Once she swiftly dispatched of a warrior who had only sprained his ankle, but the slightest injury can be life-threatening when you have to be in your tiptop prime.

David Haye, heavyweight boxer, blamed his defeat to Klitschko on a broken little toe. Oh mum, (sob sob) I can’t fight the big brawly man, I’ve got a sore pinky toe! I’d have battered him if I hadn’t hurt my toe!

We’ll say anything won’t we to make excuses for a defeat or even to evade the contest at all. I chickened out from a dual at school because the opponent was taller and heavier than me. His name was Colin Fillingham and he didn’t make it through fifth year because he died of a rare heart condition. I glad I didn’t beat him because I’d have felt guilty.

I knew a guy who killed someone with a single punch.

These days I’m roving around practically begging for a fight to let some aggression out. Never mind single punch, I’m in the mood for stamping all over people’s heads. I’m divided between being gentle and engaging and being a large unapproachable ape leaning towards violent conduct.

Between settling for a jovial medium, I’m piling on the pounds eating chippy tits slimmers’ dinners (chips and half rice or chips peas and onion gravy), and guzzling pints of zero percent Heineken draft lager.

But gone, I am pleased to honourably announce again (I’ll never get sick of congratulating myself), are the toxic poisons in my body such as psychoactive stimulants, nicotine and alcohol. For the moment, anyway. Because life is sooo hard, and it has a habit of driving me back to the bottle. Where the pain is only dulled overnight, before resurfacing hyped up with vengeful aplomb.

Thank God I’m not experiencing the comedown of a drug hangover. I’m hanging in with a decent perception of the world and my role in it, despite some very stiff opposition to make me feel rather quite gloomy indeed. Wouldn’t you know it, it’s those pesky Chinese Terrorists and Russian Spies again. With their bloody electronic voices and visual disturbances. I just wish they’d pack them away and go back home.

If you stick high vibration and positive outlook on it, they’ll hang it upside down in the main square and charge revellers to kick it by the minute.

I’m getting booted a lot today. All’s I’m doing is trying to express myself at a computer terminal, but the neg part of the universe, or a part of the neg part of the universe, is constantly pecking away at my headspace.

Why can’t it bear itself? Why does it have to play around with me? I can bear myself. I don’t need anything from anyone. I can hang in an empty room accompanied by nothing but my own thoughts all day. They have to be jumping around in my face being neg every moment of every day.

Please leave me alone. I humbly do ask.

Peace Out, I'm Not Ready To Die Yet

The dynamics in my apology group are arse over tit. I call it Demons Club. I feel like Jason Bourne on a special mission every time I enter the Lion’s Den. There are people there who have been sent from the court, people trying to regain custody over their kids, people from different planets, aw dude. Everyone’s got a mask on. I have kooky dreams about the facilitators who run the show, they keep shutting me down with interruptions and disturbances. I’ll ask them, uber-politely, “What are you doing in my third eye at night playing darts on the back of my head?” They’ll reply, “Being tiny and small because we haven’t the balls to trouble you in person.” So I’ll say, like a fabled essayist, “Let me dream, you bas*tard, what kind of monster can’t abide someone else’s dreams?” Then, typically, I’ll begin to wake up. The walls will crumble and dissipate, and I’ll realize that everyone in the classroom are no longer flesh-eating zombies.

On a drug comedown, I readily admit that Demons Club would be literally terrifying. Scarier than the acid freaks and belligerent drunks are the sober voyeurs who come along to take pleasure in people ‘falling off their wagons’. Rather than a close-knit gathering of trustworthy addicts seeking solace in the supportive fellowship of each other, it seems to be a seedy underground network of fakers, fraudsters, pretenders and imposters. One was armed today. Pool ball in a sock.

Don’t worry, I’m in a friendly mood. Back to being a pacifist.

I’ve not seen Amy in a while, my old chum. She was so gifted at sharing, so eloquent. It didn’t matter if she were 1000 days clean or high in the meeting, she would give an honest account of her situation. Sometimes it was enlightening. Sometimes it was sad. I always felt acutely for her. Last time we engaged she was sat on a piece of cardboard in a doorway drinking and smoking. She reported wanting to end it.  

My own standing can feel so untenable in public now and again that I get the rotten and wretched hasty impulse to suddenly kill myself too by whatever means necessary as soon as can possibly be.

This is nothing like a long-lasting suicidal ideation, which can be quite comforting, in a way. That goes something like: One day I will pass away and it will all be over. This one goes something like: I have to leave right now! I have to leave right now!

The ideation is romantic, you flirt with mortality. To give an example I find humorous, my boy Duncan, who suffers from health anxiety, once went ahead and paid for his own funeral flowers before he’d even killed himself. He bought them in the letters of his own name and took a picture of them for depression group.

The impulse is rash, untimely and inappropriate. It happens when my stalkers get close to me in person and up their harassment technique to the point whereby I find it tough to cope.

It’s also slightly embarrassing. I had no idea how hated I am, I think to myself. Why doesn’t nobody like me? Then, of course, there’s the dreaded why now? Why have you got me boxed in feeling helpless now, at my aunty’s wedding? Just drag me away to your lair and get it over with.

Psst…(they love ruining special occasions)

It’s similar to a panic attack. I’d call it a panic attack, a mortality call, a stalker skit, and a bout of pity-arse depression all rolled up into one. Fact is: It truly sucks to be me.

I nearly punched a stalker on the bridge of his nose last night. Then I remembered: ‘You shall develop a peace which surpasses all understanding,’ and blessed the useless cretin. Just stop pretending to be my pal when secretly you are planning my demise.

This peace is great, by the way. I’m untouchable with it. My stalkers are running around me all in a hissy fit, promising a bloody end when they chop my legs off. I live in the constant threat of danger, yet I can’t recall the last time I raised my voice. They crave despair and wit’s end terror. I just turn the other cheek and smile. Like Christ would do.
