In general I was a good kid. It usually took a lot to make me mad. But once I reached the boiling point I lost all rational control. Totally without thinking when my anger was aroused I grabbed the nearest brick rock or stick to bash someone. It was as if I had no conscious will in the matter.

To see a player dunk in women's college basketball is just amazing. It's great to see that the game has reached that level now.

As a kid I always loved serialized books. It's the reason why people love 'Harry Potter.' Serialization is amazing. It works in television. It works in film and it works in books. Especially when you're a young kid you get attached to these characters.

It's amazing people get so detached from what they eat and what they wear. No one has any contact with how things are made that are put in their body and put in their mouths and I just find it alarming that no one questions it.

Glasgow's not a media center. When you're there when you're hanging about you feel quite detached from musical movements or fashions or anything like that. You do feel quite alone in a good way.

What does it mean to not be alone? I've approached that question through music technology writing and other means.
