Death. Horror. Torment. But enough about the news, why not read some of my books to take your mind off things. They're cheap, and I can 100% guarantee you they won't kidnap you and send you to a secret castle prison in the Outer Hebrides.*

The Writing of Paul John Lyon
herebeshadows.com
"It is said, by those who say such things, that time heals all wounds. It is also said, by those people who say such things, that time is money, time flies when you’re having fun, and only time will tell.

People say all kinds of stupid things, though."

Going through work for publication, and I've decided to change the name of my time-travel comedy, Piccadilly Nine, to Now & Then: Or A Brief History of Socks. 😁 Created a new cover for it too.

There's bound to be bodies buried under the orange turd's golf courses, and I don't mean metaphorical ones.

I'm a Roman Catholic
And have been since before I was born
And the one thing they say about Catholics is:
They'll take you as soon as you're warm

Sat on a park bench earlier just watching life go by, when a car slows down on the road near me and from within a voice shouts, "Get a room."

Not a Bowie fan, but I am a NIN fan. And this song feels very apt at the moment.

This orange paedo shits himself audibly, then ends the press conference to cover up. 🤮 How the fuck is he still the President of the USA?

The shittening begins at 0:34 (watch the reactions around him)

Movies lie to you. For instance, not all farmers are tough, ex-cons who only want to get in a melon harvest like Mr. Majestyk. Also, apropos of nothing, I've recently watched Mr. Majestyk and I'm easily influenced. :D

The US has declared Cuba an "unusual and extraordinary threat", authorising new sanctions and tightening its illegal blockade.

Trump is trying to starve Cuba into submission — and millions of people will suffer.

This is economic warfare, plain and simple. Hands off Cuba!

Been quite a sad Saturday, but I'm cooking a jalfrezi for tea, so things are looking up.

Bruce Springsteen singing his new song "Streets of Minneapolis" at our very own First Avenue. A place where amazing artists like Prince got their start - this venue means so much to our state and it's incredible to see Bruce bring our community together.

I'm not Canadian, but I remember staying up that night to share a tear and mourn a poet before he'd passed.

Still makes me cry to this day. RIP Gord. ❤️

Then I think I smiled
Then I think you said, “it’s fine”
And quietly I dressed, in a world completely possessed by the human mind

When you remember Gord Downie is no longer with us. What a sad thought to have on a Saturday. :(

When I left your house this mornin'
It was a little after nine
It was in Bobcaygeon, I saw the constellations
Reveal themselves one star at a time
