Paradise Lost?

The Wonderful Rosie Sunshine

2008-07-13T07:37:00.000Z

I've taken some time out from my own creative projects in celebration of someone who is so much more creative, so much more imaginative and so much more alive than me: my daughter, Rosie Sunshine. I've been working my way through 50 hours of video footage and editing clips of Rosie at her shiny, brightest best and posting them up on her very own You Tube site, which is at http://uk.youtube.com/user/rosiesunshine2001

Already there are 163 clips up there, and I've only got as far as December 2004; and I promise you, each one is a shiny gem. If ever you succumb to ennui or world-weariness, just log on and rediscover the delight in life.

Remember, you too were once a child... and somewhere inside that old, shrivelled up, hardened skin, a child STILL resides. For you ARE the totality of all your experiences, and inside you is that child who delighted in everything.

Why I Got Sick Of Blogging

2008-06-18T13:42:00.000Z

In the end, I thought, what is the point? It was just an exercise in spewing my bile into cyber-space. It felt very negative and not particularly creative. The other day I read through some of my blog entries and I thought, "What does this add to the universe?" So, I decided to delete all my entries and be done with it.

Now, I'm going to use my blog in a more creative way (I hope). That is, I'll use it to post up art, writing or links to my music and video pieces.

Mostly, at the moment I'm working on music, under the moniker, Captain Melted. My "band" (ie me and my laptop) are called The Melted Rubber Humans. For the last six months or so I've been obsessively working away with two programmes, Adobe Audition and Sony Acid, gradually learning my craft. I've completed 5 CDs worth of tunes and have posted them up on the internet for free download. The first three albums, "Life In A Scottish Bed-Sitting Room", "Hypnotherapy Or Something Like It" and "Call Me Daddy While I Fuck You" are posted up on http://www.virb.com/melted_rubber_humans and the latest two albums, "God And The Orgasm" and "If This Is Heaven I'm Bailing Out" are posted up on http://www.virb.com/melted_rubber_humans_2

I've also produced a series of erotic music-video/ collages to go with some of my tunes and these have been posted up at http://uk.youtube.com/user/deerimbaud

Aside from the music and video stuff, I've a whole pile of writing that is sitting in a folder, waiting for a final edit. So, as and when I get these done and dusted to my satisfaction I'll be posting them up here.

I also have a keen yearning to start drawing again. So, if I find time, between my various other projects, I'll post new drawings up here to.

As for blogging... well, if anything pisses me off enough, instead of just bitching about it I'll try and pour it into something creative.

Well, I am now a t-shirt legend. Intrigued?

Dog-gone, Where's My Blog Gone?

2008-06-17T17:23:00.001Z

Okay, where's the blog gone? Well, I'm done with blogging forever. Fuck it! You blog if you want to. I'm going to focus my energies elsewhere from now on. If I get my shit together I'll post up some stories, artwork or music links up here. But blogging? I mean, who cares?
