As I attempt to synthesise a semesters worth of sociological theory alongside a semester of unwritten posts and scribbles from a notebook, do not lose heart. There will be a point to all of this. The life of an anonymous, poorly-subscribed-to online lifestyle brand is a lonely one. The nature of living our creative existence … Continue reading Theory and Praxiszzzz

The Salon
This is a true story. Tenses may have been jumbled in an effort to maintain the corporeal sense of time which one feels when attending an appointment. Moreover, I've not got the energy to edit it too much at this stage. The following takes place a quick walk from Baker Street, past the famous … Continue reading The Salon
Interview: Reflections on an imagined future
This marks the first of a series of interviews which may or may not happen. This, the first, comprises of Mr Hummels, synonymous editor at large of soon to be global MrHummels.com (Formerly or still MrHummels.wordpress.com) grilling the future Mr Hummels who is endowed with contentment, fulfillment and success. The interview is meta as fuck … Continue reading Interview: Reflections on an imagined future
Autumn
The first shades of Autumn have swept in recently, you may have noticed? In the back of my head I've dreaded the moment when the light leaves our days and the damp, cool air returns. The summer has been fraught with wishes and movement. I've been back up to Edinburgh, making changes to life here … Continue reading Autumn
Dear: The Right
Dear The Right, After our recent meetings I'd like to bring up a few points, which I hope don't offend you too much. The dinner we shared was lovely, it may be a last hurrah as I move predictably towards vegetarianism. A few points came up though, which if I'm totally honest I'd like you … Continue reading Dear: The Right
Hung Parliament Purgatory: Heaven and Hell. Whole foods and Hospitals.
So that's that. The election wrapped up dramatically to reveal exactly what we were told was going to happen had happened but in dramatic circumstances. Jeremy Corbyn has won and lost. Theresa May lost and yet still won. Assuredly the most British of elections. And while nothing will rid the shame from Theresa Mays legacy, … Continue reading Hung Parliament Purgatory: Heaven and Hell. Whole foods and Hospitals.
Shipbuilding – 2 weeks left.
Two weeks until voting begins. Another day, another piece of self-imposed disappointment. Life slowly ebbs away doesn't it. My coverage of this election hasn't been as exhaustive than I had originally intended but then, I ain't a professional journalist. I have a terrible job to go to. Then again, there also hasn't been a lot … Continue reading Shipbuilding – 2 weeks left.
General Election – Week 1
So, I've failed you already. The intention to cover this parade daily is not easy or interesting. So I've decided to do it as and when I feel compelled, meaning this will likely be the last post in human history as Nuclear war brews in the South China sea. This pleases me as not only … Continue reading General Election – Week 1
Comentatiat – General Election Day 1
Waking up today and learning, for I was on holiday and slept in late, that there will be a General Election in the coming months was such a thrill that I put it to the darkest recess of my mind. Why worry? I'm in my home trying to relax for the first time in months, … Continue reading Comentatiat – General Election Day 1
Unbecoming a sad-sack
I've recently been through somewhat of a malaise. Perhaps from my own doing, perhaps from circumstances, certainly from a combination of the two. My usual routine came unbinded and I've been slightly at odds with myself and what I do minute -to-minute. Which is quite an uncomfortable experience. Some of this has been brought on … Continue reading Unbecoming a sad-sack
