Jesus Told Me...
Jesus Told Me...

"But I do weary of people who seem unable to conceive of life as anything other than an endless game of Dungeons and Dragons, with everyone off on some deep spiritual quest. You do kind of wish they'd all find the Ring of Asgar, vanquish the forces of Skeletor, move on to the next level and leave the rest of us in peace.
There is no sacred quest. You get up, you throw something on and your meat brain hauls you through breakfast and off to work, where little sugar and caffeine based treats keep your serotonin levels adequate. There are highs and lows, and it is possible to have a life of the mind. If you want to chase shadow puppets in your head that's your business, but it's a personal private matter and nothing to do with the rest of us. "
(from "First we take Manhatten")

"I'd like to thank Zombizi Prime for this image, and having no idea I
appropriated one of his photos for this latest bar sketch. I wanted to
continue to explore the dramatic dark ink style, so I wandered Flickr until
I found a portrait that fit the bill. I had to do it in one sitting, so the
dramatic angle was perfect for me. And of course, great teeth."

It's on at the Create Centre in Bristol, from Monday to Friday, 9-5, 20th to 31st March - with an all-day launch and general socialisation from 10 to 4 Saturday 18th March"
Ivor Cutler RIP
"Ivor Cutler (15 January 1923 – 3 March 2006) was a Scottish poet, songwriter and humorist. Originally a teacher, he taught at A. S. Neill's Summerhill School. He appeared (as "Buster Bloodvessel") in The Beatles' Magical Mystery Tour; on Neil Innes' television programmes; and on John Peel's influential BBC radio programme, for which he recorded a total of twenty-one sessions between 1969 and 1991. In live performances he would accompany himself on a harmonium. Cutler died on 3 March 2006, following a stroke the previous week" (From wikipedia)

"You are the centre of your little world and I am of mine.
Now and again we meet for tea, we're two of a kind.
This is our universe, cups of tea.
We have a beautiful cosmos, you and me.
We have a beautiful cosmos.
What do we talk of whenever we meet? Nothing at all!
You sit with a sandwich I look at a roll.
Sometimes I open my mouth, and shut it.
We have a beautiful cosmos, you and me.
We have a beautiful cosmos.
You are the centre of your little world and I am of mine.
We have a beautiful cosmos, you and me.
We have a beautiful cosmos"
