Being a record of the ruminations, ramblings and obsessions of a Hound of the noblest breed (or so His Lordship claims, anyway). The focus being on dark music and culture, style, spirituality and - naturally – Basset Hounds.

RIP Christopher Hitchens
Thanks to Mrs. Drachensteen for the link. To see Christopher Hitchens at his absolute best go here.
While I've never shared Mr. Hitchens' very negative view of religion, that IS a very concise way of summing up his position. I always thought he was best when he talked politics, to be honest.
I do not hibernate as such, but I have taken refuge on the couch and isn't very inspired these days. Winter does this to me. But I am trying to get around to dictating some more blog posts to my secretary soon.
"Console yourselves
ReplyDeleteThat a scientific death is better than a fairy tale
Of the eternal life
Control yourselves
Because the man in the sky is a tyrant and a lonely psychopath
Dreamed up to steal your minds"

ReplyDeleteWhere is his lordship? Bassett hounds do not hibernate, do they?
