Dreams and Hidden Mirrors
Sometimes what you eat can cause you to dream. Cheese is a good one if you want to dream. Last night I had Aloo Chole, a chickpea and potato curry along with some Sag Aloo from Rajnagar my local Bangladeshi restaurant. I finished about half of it so I will be warming up the remainder tonight for my tea tonight and looking forward to it. I don't think that's the normal food to stimulate dreams although it's very good.

Waiting For The Green Light
This is inspired / stolen from a Bill Hicks sketch, as he was one of the most intelligent foul mouthed comedians ever. In fact this is going to be an appreciation of the great man with a retelling of the Green Light incident.

The Vocal Tipping Benefit
One of the things about writing on Vocal , is that you can publish and then maybe people will read and even heart your story and that will make you feel that you have achieved something. If one person reads and appreciates something I write and publish then that’s a win for me. The fact that Vocal pays you for reads is a tiny bonus but worth it if you get a lot of reads.

A Fiction
This is inspired by a premise that a good friend of mine Chris Ball (he started a blog , The Ape of Wrath which has two excellent posts then that was it) pointed out at a meal. If you were at a table with a corporation , it would just grab everything for itself whether it was hungry and needed food or not.

Can I Write?
I ask myself that question every time I put pen to paper or rather finger to keyboard. The fact that I am doing this answers that question but then leads on to , “So Can I Write Well?” or can “Can I Write Something People Want To Read?”.

Consuming Passion
I once saw a film by this title which posited that humans had two consuming passions , sex and food , or in the film, chocolate. Essentially someone accidentally fell into a vat of chocolate and the resultant product sold like hot cakes , I think you can guess the rest.

Fast And Slow
I find it strange with books , TV and film how similar sized items seem to take such different times to watch or read. I suppose that is mainly whether you want to take it on or you feel you have to take it on. There are so many books , films and TV series that I have on my lists and some are enjoyable but difficult to get through and therefore take much longer and this is true of all media.

The Time Thief
Thirty years ago I would get up, wash , shave shower, make kids breakfast and packed lunches , make my own , then go off to work. After work I would sort out tea, watch TV , maybe practice for a gig , then go to bed. That was effectively pre internet. Yes there was a rudimentary email but nothing worth connecting up for. There were dial up modems but it was expensive and didn’t really give you much.
