Do something for something

Sage advice. Not sure who it is aimed at.

Western Wall - 40 year Greeks, Genhennah, SHE-OH

Okay I have worked out that Genhennah is, in Judaism the final abode of the unrighteous dead (http://www.koshergospel.com/sheol.html)

"I was not I was I am Not . I don't Care" (no Longer)

No idea. It sound like I've combined the God of the Old Testament with a sulky teenager.

Fight fire with fire must be prepared to put out the flames with your tears

A great quote and one I am alas unable to find the origin of  

KBO! Keep Buggering on

The famous words of Winston Churchill

WS JC JC  12-04-04   

Hmm well all I can make out is that something that included people with the initial WS JC JC happened on the twelfth of April 2004. Eat your heart out John Langdon

Alpha Male, Self-Confidence, Destiny

Strong words rendered meaningless due to lack of any kind of context whatsoever. Not like me is it?

I found a letter home from my inglorious two years in New York

Slices of the Big Apple

Occasional musings from a man rapidly becoming as bipolar as the city in which he lives.

So every day the weather is like this - between 6.00am and 10.00am - between 75-85 degrees. 10.00am - 8.00pm - between 85-100 degrees. 10.00pm - 6.00am - between 75-85 degrees. All topped off with no breeze whatsoever and 80-100% Humidity. EVERY single day! - I am basically reduced to being a bucket of jellied zombie sweat.

Every day 15 million people crowd onto Manhattan an island only slightly bigger than Bear Island. Fifteen million self- opinionated, perpetually petulant, oh-so-busy, short tempered and boiling hot people from every country culture and religion on Earth all pushing shoving, snarling, snapping, and griping all at once.

I honestly witnessed the following exchange last week , just between two perfectly ordinary strangers on the corner of 50th and Lexington (me now speaky de lingo). Excuse language)

Hey bud, excuse me.
What?
Got the time
What?
I said have you got the time?
NO
Okay no need to be rude m*****r-f******r!
What? Go f***ck yourself!
What? F**ck you! Rude mother f****r
No you f**k yourself, mother f*****r
A***hole!
You’re the A***hole!

Both men then departed having achieved absolutely nothing except steaming blood pressures.

As you may be aware I am currently living in an attic in Weehawken New Jersey - a place dominated by gaudy Soprano esque houses and lots of Cuban exiles - I feel I could randomly throw a rock and I’d invariably hit someone linked to the Kennedy assassination.

Living in Weehawken means I have to bus it into manhattan - there are two routes - both involving going through the twenty six lane Lincoln Tunnel. I can take New Jersey transit - big coaches, air conditioned everybody in buzz cuts, white shirts sitting upright and looking like we are all off to a Michael Douglas in ‘Falling Down’ convention or I can take the slightly cheaper Johnny Cabs - Needless to say Johnny has obviously long since sold out to Pedro and Miguel and these ‘cabs’ are in fact 30 seater mini buses obviously on loan between Monday and Friday before they go back for the weekend as fodder for the demolition derby.

Johnny cabs have replaced simple things like airbags and for that well known safety feature the faded cut out picture of Pope John Paul II taped to the dashboard. I’m all for bigging up the late Pontiff but I have to debate his real use in a head on collision in a 26 lane pile up - not that that is likely as NJ is the most densely populated state in the US and every day something like six million people commute into New York and as far as I can tell all of them have arranged to meet at the entrance to the Lincoln Tunnel at 7.45 every morning.

I have started to get some job interviews - I paid a company to have my resume Americanized - so now it is full of phrases like ‘spear headed’ and ‘leveraging’ which seems to be having some effect. Mean whilst I am still at the five star Waldorf inputting data like a Cyberman with a business studies degree - I have gone for the coordinator job as I have realized that moany people are moany people everywhere , regardless of whether they are drinking cider outside Camden Tube or drinking Crystal Champagne in the Starlight room - whining knows no barriers - as my writing proves.

I am still going to ‘Crunch’ the gym with ‘no judgments’ - this is complete nonsense as I have never f elt so much like I am attending ‘gay church’ - I am almost tempted to keep my beer belly as it definitely marks me out as being hetro - no self respecting gay man would ever dream of having one


Aside from all this I still don’t know if I fit in here - I am ‘in a strange place’ (another ‘me now speaky the lingo’) where I am observing lots and getting a lot of scribbling done. Its an adventure and as Kev pointed out it all comes down to ‘time over pressure’ - which is a quote from Shawshank Redemption - so cheers for the nightmare prison reference!

Ok I shall now desist. Just want you all to know that ‘I love you and mean it’ one of the few phrases I have heard and taken to my heart!

Hope things are well with you all - please send me any stuff at all as at the moment I am reduced to buying old Dr Who DVD’s to remind me of why I love home.

Fondest regards

Vincent

If you want to know where the 'eck I've been lately...

Dipping sauce, he needs instruction
Just a good line for indication a certain cast of mind that displays levels of non-intellectual curiosity

Joe Di Magio didn't know wallets existed. Had special pants made with no pockets
I think there is a common thread in the US that baseball players have a reputation of being somewhat parsimonious 

The reason people were shocked at the revelation of players buying drugs, was not the drugs but the thought of players actually paying for something
As above.


No right fielder in Abbot and Costello's who's on first, no idea what one world of that sentence means.
I think this must alludes to this routine which is a national institution in the US.

 

Guess they knew they were on to a good thing



Yep, sure did.




Oh Boy!



...moving on

Didn't loose they didn't finish
Not sure why I wrote this, guess it is another baseball reference. What makes you think I was living in America when I wrote this page?

commentary

Debussy Jardin sous le pluie
Oh my. Do you remember how I played this to you on that warm afternoon in the Spring of 1907? You recall how we found that dusty old Steinway hidden behind the portraits of Grand mama and her water spaniels, how we laughed and laughed. You do remember don't you? Surely you do? We spent weeks exploring the attics in Uncle Tom's house. Oh happy days.

Norfolk Coast and Danny Baker are fast becoming what Spanish Wheat fields were to Maximus Decimus
I wrote this when I was wifeless, jobless and very nearly homeless in NYC and the thought of listening to Danny's show and visiting the North Norfolk coast were things that kept me going in the dark hours. Maximus Decimus is the part Russell Crowe plays in the eponymous Gladiator

2 min grass
I can't believe that having invented this godsend to the horticultural world I have now forgotten how I did it.

Quite a big secret: Knowing that non-magicians will overlook the things that don't seem so thrilling, and thus magicians can fool them with those things. Nathaniel Schffman

The non Magician will never learn how the tricks are really done because when they see the real secrets that are used they aren't impressed by them. They think they're not finding out anything of importance, and so they believ the secrets are too well guarded to be discovered. Not true.

Both these quotes are from an excellent book called Abracadabra which is a really cracking read.

I've never quite understood the attraction of a funeral pyre; honouring someones greatness by putting them on a never to be eaten barbecue
Not my most subtle of observations I'm afraid.

That's going to ruffle some feathers he said, as if he had just spotted Chicken Licken deep in conversation with Colonel Saunders.
I'm not sure how patronising I am being by giving you these links: Chicken Licken and
Colonel Saunders  Gosh, that's certainly a more upbeat, sprightly version of him they choose to use on the sides of their buckets)

As good ideas went it was on par with Geordi Le Forge fetching the Worzels to come and fix the tractor beam
As good ideas went it was on par with Geordi Le Forge fetching the Worzels to come and fix the tractor beam . I'm thinking a metaphor is probably no good when you have to employ three hyperlinks in one sentence to make it understandable to anyone other than yourself.

 He looked panicky, like a Cretan being introduced to a Polygraph 
 He looked panicky like a Cretan being introduced to a Polygraph. Make that two hyperlinks.

He looked as happy as a Minotaur receiving a sat-nav for Xmas
I am going to let this one stand unexplained as I'm sure there is only so much patronising your pretty little head can endure in one go.

Un-sportsmanlike and unfair, like suggesting going first in a game of Rock, Paper, Scissor, Tank.

Ounce and inch come from uncia
Well, what can I say? I like knowing stuff like this

Kanaka
Is of course a name for a native of Hawaii, quite why that is here I do not know. I think have phonetically misspelt something.

Round city with four axis 
No idea, there is a four axis car audio and entertainment company in Redditch but that's a bit random even for me as Crown Prince of Randomania

Golden Palace
This could be anything from a ancient citadel to a Chinese take-away.

Paper
What a useful bit of note taking.

Bait al-Hikma: House of Wisdom
Oh yeah! That's more like it. Useful note taking. I want to go here

Al-Khwarizmi
Main contender for smartest cookie in/on the box/planet at the time. Without him there would quite literally not be nothing.

Contracts dates of delivery, Inventories + accounting records
All these very very useful though not particularly glamorous things exist because of him

Dies mensis
Alas all I can find is some kind of Latin reference to death by menstrual cycle, which can't be right can it?

commentary

First Stonecaster Corporation
I think this may one day pop up in a potentially not very subtle, moralizing, metaphor heavy short story I will write

Jesus said you shall not marry after divorce So Mandella is a sinner
Self-explanatory and highlights the contradiction inherent in many of the worlds scriptures

'It doesn't say what it says it says'
I think this is a genuine reply from one of the theologians being interviewed on the BBC R4 documentary I was listening to. I keep re-reading it in the hope it will make some sense. It fails to do so.

'Saying scripture is wrong means you don't understand what its says'
As above, I struggle very hard to make sense of what this actually means as surely this and the above is just shorthand for 'scripture means whatever I decide it means' which is downright scary.

Church founded on the desire of a murderous unelected monarch to have open sexual relations
I'm guessing the Church of England would probably not see it like this.

"I have yet to have one single oppressed person come to me and say 'Archbishop Tutu you are getting too involved in politics!' this is said only by those with the comfort of middle class' - Archbishop Desmond Tutu
Regardless of your thoughts and feelings towards his beliefs I think you have to put the man up there as a world class exemplary Human being.

Jesus was a radical
Desmond Tutu defending his stance

'This earth is not heaven and was never meant to be' Ann Widdercombe
Oh Ann Ann Ann what can I say..?

'That's just an excuse not to tackle things'  Archbishop Tutu in response to the above
No worries Ann I think Desmond has said it all for me.

commentary

Misericordia
I know this is can be two thing either a 'chill out' room for monks in a monastary or a small dagger that was used to 'mercy kill' a wounded foe.  I may have been thinking of using it as a character name in yet another piece of work that went unwritten.

Sapentia
This means characterised by wisdom so I guess as above. Though I may have been trying out potential babies names.

Winsome More Free
I could not figure this out until I did. It is me; I am Vincent Murphy so this was a pun. On myself. Clever, and so very very sad at the same time.

commentary

Tessellations - square four
Isn't tessellation some kind of mosaic patchwork thingy?  I know I am all for a new hobby but I think this one was a nine minute wonder

 Omadhaun - Fool
An Irish alternative word for a big eejit

Eirenicon - peace
Eirenicon is a proposition that attempts to resolve two conflicting viewpoints. I like this a lot

Dodeka
As in having twelve - like a Dodecahedron, I am guessing this is all about Humanichs

Verbicide = destroyer of words
I like this word a lot

Ventripotent = large bellied
Alas this is to my infinite regret something I have found myself becoming since quitting smoking

Ferociously veracious and veraciously ferocious 
Veracious means to habitually tell the truth, so to be a bit veracious I am a little bit chuffed with my own phraseology here.

Advertising = vermiculation of language through incessant verbicide
Okay 'vermiculation means worm eaten and I would love to think but alas doubt that I invented this phrase.

Vade Mecum = Go with me
A useful bit of Latin  used to describe a handbook. I may have been referring to a book on Humanichs which most people will eventually carry around with them everywhere - in my world, obviously.

Looking at the above I think I may have been stuck in a room with a dictionary with all the letters torn out except for V

commentary

'Wonderfully divisive' - Head of Entertainment C4
Alas he was saying this with no sense of irony.

'Great to have something that polarises people so much'  - Head of Entertainment C4
As above, and you can see his point; the world is after all in such desperate, desperate need of more polarisation.


'You know I live in hope that one day we can have a conversation that actually makes sense'
Dr Watson to Sherlock Holmes
I think I had almost forgotten how laced through with dry humour the whole of the Holmes cannon is.

Pig bristles
No idea, though probably best not to come round to my place for dinner if I offer to cook you my pork surprise.

'Most people who'd rather die than think, do so'. Bertrand Russell
I know I have probably written this quote out at least a dozen times in dozens of books and think I will continue to do so until I die.

Airheaded impressionables 
Just a nice phrase that ecapsulate those who allow others to do their thinking for them.

Comments

"Who put the overalls in Mrs Murphy's chowder? Captain English
Right well where do I begin? My Mum is Mrs Murphy and her maiden name was Josephine English, but these facts only really serve to muddy the waters as to why I would possibly write about chowder and overalls. And then I found this...

WHO THREW THE OVERALLS IN MRS. MURPHY'S CHOWDER?

Mrs. Murphy gave a party just about a week a-go,
Everything was plentiful the Murphy's they're not slow,
They treated us like gentlemen we tried to act the same,
And only for what happened well it was an awful shame.

Chorus
Who threw the overalls in Mrs. Murphy's chowder?
Nobody spoke so we shouted all the louder,
It's an Irish trick that's true,
But we'll lick the "mick" that threw
The overalls in Mrs. Murphy's chowder.

When she dished the chowder out she fainted on the spot.
She found a pair of overalls at the bottom of the pot.
Tim Nolan, he got rippin' mad. His eyes were bulging out.
He stood upon the piano and loudly he did shout.

...it goes on in similar shades of Shamrock for another couple of verses. I am just glad that I'm not going as completely mad as I thought. I'm guessing this was somehow related to my reading about Orson Welles' trip around Ireland in a donkey and cart on his own when he was just 15.

40 arrows into the audience
What happened during Orson's first production of Henry V in New York where his taste for the truly theatrical led to the entire audience coming under fire.

I'm playing Henry V and it's a pity I didn't perish at Agincourt
A great line from the lead actor in the above performance which pretty much sums up the stresses and strains of working with Welles. Also of note is the fact that that actor was Burgess Meredith  known mostly today not for his Shakesperian eloquence but for being Rocky's Trainer and The Penguin in the 60's TV version of Batman. 

Aburning
I think this was just a word I thought worth remembering, possibly for use in some wet, musty doggerel dogged poetry I was devising.

Success: The bitch goddess whose smile hides a taste for blood - Hedda Hopper
Oh now this is a very good line. So much so that I am tempted to give it the so very now credence of reducing it to a tweet.

16:04 Notes from the worlds smallest, oldest, stuffiest bar and I'm in it which probably says far more about me than this place, which you'd have to remake out of tweed and pomp to get any more stuffy.

16:08 A sonorous silence- like a broken church bell, a pub where the tick of the clock is louder then the slurp of the beer.

16:09 Amazing, this must be where coffins go to die.

16:10 I feel lost without my powdered wig. Perhaps Mrs Miggins will drop by with some pies.

16:11 I have decided to forge a coalition with Charles Fox and trample those accurs'd Whigs once and for all.

16:12 Charles Dickens spills a pint of porter over Mrs Pintspill, we decide to wait 50 years for the invention of post-modern irony before we laugh.

16:13 Press charges against urchin who stole my silk 'kerchief'. He is to be hung at Tyburn on the morrow.

16:14 Pray for gout.

16:16 Decide to keep this diary - like Pepys who left the pub 5 minutes ago.

16:17 Remind self to learn difference between tipping the barmaid and tupping the barmaid, could be important.

16:18 Learn that the barman is Polish - he probably fought for King Leopald the Badly Named at the battle of Litsterineguard and received a ha'penny pension for each of his lost limbs.

16:19 Broke second best quill.

16:20 Leave, am praying not to meet footpad on way back to my farm in Islington fields.

commentary

Average length scroll = twenty/ thirty feet, eight nine inches wide
I just like the fact that we don't see these long cumbersome rolls when they have them on TV or films what they want to read is always contained in the first six inches and not right down the unrolled bit

Pigeon holes
Were invented to hold scrolls

Label = titulus
Scrolls had labels attached which is where we get the word 'Title' for documents

Papyrus bubulos biblos bible
Evolution of the word bible

Paper parchment pegamena potsherd
Backwards evolution of the word paper

Ostrakon = ostracised
 Ostrakon = a bit of pottery with writing on and were used to have ballots  and thus were a way of voting some one to be banished hence ostracised

Universal bookmakers
Considering the inside of even the most local bookmaker remains a complete and utter mystery to me I can't quite figure out why I would be calling for a Universal one. I think this my have been a (weak) riff on International Peacekeepers / Book keepers / Bee keepers etc.

'We are the only things in the known Universe that can predict (dictate)
I have a suspicion that I thought up the 'we are the only things in the known Universe' bit first and then tried to find stuff  like predict/dictate to fit at the end of the sentence, which is not really how you do aphorisms that will ever be quoted by anyone other than yourself

What have you got a chiwowa (sic) in your pants about / for
Okay so that was a piss poor attempt at spelling Chihuahua, but even so would you want one of these in your pants? Thought not. For once my creativeness stands correct.

Needle in a smack house
Like looking for a needle in a smack housee -I quite like this in a gritty urban, a bit smarty-arsey way.

Angels casting off the physical
I'm very glad I have managed to get over that  poor attention span thing where I couldn't even get  to  the end of a sen

When we dream we go back to University
I never even went to University so what happens when I dream?  Actually I think I know what I am going on about here as it probably relates to my one and only profoundly life changing dream. Alas that will have to wait for another time, but I do come back and link to it here I promise.

Paradise, Lost, Found Regained
Maybe I decided to rewrite the works of Milton the great poet with his amazing lyrical contemplation upon the whole spectrum of belief, life, death, sin, love, redemption and beauty into txtspk:

Of Man's first disobedience, and the fruit
Of that forbidden tree whose mortal taste
Brought death into the World, and all our woe,
With loss of Eden, till one greater Man

Animals - little brothers, siblings
Of course obviously here I am referring to... who am I kidding? I have no idea and would love to know what a 'Broti' was or is, if only so I can warn my little brother and siblings.

AI to Actuality
AI stands for Artificial Intelligence which, as someone much wiser than me pointed out, we should be banned from talking about until as a species we start to show some signs of actual intelligence. Hang on! That's probably what I was trying to say here. Result!

Our image of something
After the success of above a fairly jarring return to vapidity as 'our image of something' has to be a contender for Harvey Smith to flick V signs upon in the next vague of the year show

Hybrid of images, impressions, thoughts is to us the reality, Image of Soho at night
Honestly beyond bland truisms I may as well have just typed  Pugh Pugh... for all the sense this makes.

Weren't ready until discovered, Quantum Knowledge
Again, I can write this stuff until the cows come home but as for what in actuality it means I don't know

commentary
Baby Drops
Some kind of sweet/ candy perhaps?  Not sweets/ candy made from babies surely? Way too dark. 

Slightly wounded Penguin
If (and its a multi storey if) the above entry is related to confectionery then maybe I was referring to a broken one of these. 

The good news is broken
Okay, well I remember this as it is a phrase uttered by the Frenchiest woman I have ever worked with it was her unique and still somehow very elegant way of saying she had some bad news

Parachute in, airlift out, bungee
Known in the SAS as the Hokey Cokey Manoeuvre 

Go in, drop off money, go out again
I'm getting worried that in the past I may have been involved in some kind of international biscuit heist and have been brain washed to forget all about it

Career for Dianes
Perhaps I was trying to figure out what Dianes my glamorous (French?) accomplice would do after the heist.

Chain - lowest demon
The heist hypothesis comes undone here  unless we were daringly planning to do over the Devil's gaff.

I'm his social worker
This seems strangely non-sequiterish even for me - Unless I was attempting to smuggle my other (younger, don't really care if he's French or not) accomplice out of Hell after he failed to carry out my expressly written orders to chain the lowest demons 

Why are people never late for their quest? 
Ignores the small but vital fact that they very often are late as it all adds to the dramatic tension, not too late but often just in the nick of time late.

Drug, alcohol, meditation free up thoughts
This can be true, more so when one is younger and thus more (fool) hardy in these things. This page also proves that a mind of freed up thought is not always a good thing at all. One man's free thought being anothers waffley boring poison.

Riong Right / wrong
Here we go again with my minds seeming determination to treat language like my very own lexicographic Play-Do'h.

Politics / History: Blendment as opposed to movement. Movement implies change
I think I can be a bit of a cheasel (a charming weasel) when it comes to my presticogineologisticism (a made up word to describe someone with a tendency to make up words) as this on the surface could just appear to make sense but starts to collapse under any kind of scrutiny.

Blendment implies incorporated fusion
Now I just sound like something from a glossy brochure you would read whilst waiting in the foyer of a large serious place.

Great.  If only I had some kind of diagram to explain what the heck a proposite was supposed to be.
