Well, this is a blog. About what, I’m not sure. Whatever takes my fancy, really, which on a given day might be art, music, politics, literature, film, or more likely lengthy moans about how no-one really understands me and how the world is a cruel and meaningless place that slowly crushes everyone. Or pictures of cats. It’s also the successor to an earlier blog of mine called Teenage Misanthropy.
Yours truly.
And me? Well, let’s see. Boy, most of the time. 19. Gay. Half English, half Scottish, currently living in Glasgow. Survivor/alumnus of one of the less prestigious public schools. Serial dropout, mostly due to depression with a side order of self-harm. Occasional freelance music/games journalist; staff writer at Stereokill, and contributor to Sublime Rush. Named for Alexander the Great, in practice Alexander the Pretty Good If Only He’d Apply Himself. Smoker, drinker, general sexual deviant. Atheist, but with a genetic predisposition towards Catholic guilt. Unremittingly single.
Oh, yes, about the name. It’s a word I picked up in A-Level German that stuck in my head, one of the few that did. It means crazy, reckless or stupid, which to my mind covers a lot of the spectrum of human behaviour.
