This slideshow features my own graphics, and the lyrics of "ANOTHER BLOODY WAR"; which I wrote, and have been performing for fifteen years! I wish its lyrics would become redundant!
I'm the luckiest man in the world. // I live in one of the most beautiful places I've seen, with the most wonderful person I've ever met // I have the best job that I could possibly be privileged to do, as a comedian making people think and laugh / I have a son and daughter who make me so proud, as they both contribute to making this world a better and more entertaining place to live in // I wake up every day with hope and love, and the joy of music, art, and literature, and meeting and getting to know good people wherever I travel ……………Yeeeeeeeeeeeehah // and I'm still passionately involved in LIFE, and that's Wunnerfull // But ...
WITH SHAME I PRESENT A BIT OF HARSH REALITY, SO WE DON'T TAKE IT ALL FOR GRANTED
.............. and I get angry, so fukking angry, when I see how beautiful LIFE can be, and could be, if not for the POWER which is misused and perverted so shamelessly by those "in power"
.......................I use this site to meet people who want to make a better world; not just bitch and moan about how bad things are in the present, whilst doing nothing to contribute to making it better in the future
............If ya just wanna add more numbers to your tally of friends, or just wanna advertise your mindless POP-PAP, or RAWKANDROLL, OR MISOGENIST, HOMOPHOBIC RAP, or other product ... then FUKKOFF!! // Oh, and if you're a RACIST, RIGHTWING, JESUS SAVES, MOHAMMED INVESTS political group ... You can FUKKOFF too!.......................................
...................................................."God is an imaginary friend for adults"
....................................................Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. // Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. // Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? // Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God?" - Epicurus
...................................................."The time has come for people of reason to say: Enough is Enough! Religious faith discourages independent thought, it's divisive and it's dangerous." - Richard Dawkins ...........................................................
....................................................Philosophy is questions that may never be answered. // Religion is answers that may never be questioned
.....................................
...................................................."The world is a dangerous place to live, not because of the people who are evil, but because of the people who don't do anything about it." - Albert Einstein ...........................................

.........."The illusion of freedom will continue as long as it's profitable to continue the illusion. At the point where the illusion becomes too expensive to maintain, they will just take down the scenery, they will pull back the curtains, they will move the tables and chairs out of the way, and you will see the brick wall at the back of the theatre." - Frank Zappa ..............................................................
.................................................... "When the Nazis came for the communists,I remained silent;
I was not a communist // When they locked up the social democrats,I remained silent;
I was not a social democrat // When they came for the trade unionists,I did not speak out; I was not a trade unionist // When they came for the Jews,I did not speak out; I was not a Jew // When they came for me, there was no one left to speak out." - Pastor Martin Niemoeller
