Well…. I ain’t got no time enough. Time seems to tackle me every second. Creeping up on me, every minute. Being ahead of me, every hour.

It’s a nasty little devil as it controls one’s life. From first till final breath. From the womb to the tomb.

And thus, sadly, but with eyes wide open staring into reality, this blog will be no more. There’s a beginning and there’s an ending. This is the end. And as jazz legend Count Basie plays away… ‘Time out”.

Hallucinations of survival


We all just have no clue what we are really eating.

Horse in beef burgers in the UK. Dolphin in Dutch tuna tins. Donkey in beef sausages in South Africa. Pork in beef stuff in England. Water buffalo in South African beef sausages. And so on and on and on.

The food chain is…. well, f*ed.

Your beef lasagna ain’t what it used to be. Your chicken pie might have a ‘unique’ after taste. Your tuna sandwich might smell a bit… fishy. Nothing is what it should be and nothing is what the label says it should be.  All of us have just been taken for a sick ride by the mafia in the food industry.

Human behavior is based on profit all the way and without mercy.

What’s next? Or what’s already here but not yet exposed? Snake in your local Chinese beef fry. Monkey in your beef stew. Crocodile sold as slim pork bacon. Chicken when it should be turkey. Beef when it should be pork, and vice versa. Giraffe when it should be vegetarian. Cow brain in the gelatin for your cake baking. Washing powder in Chinese baby formula. Fake cocoa in your chocolate bar. Any wheat in your McDonald’s burger roll? KFC’s chicken legs that are not from chickens? Ostrich mince in your spaghetti and meatballs? And don’t even start imagining what’s in the hot dog you just bought in downtown Manhattan? Donkey tail + horse testicles + pigs ears. And ketchup without any tomatoes in it on top of it all. Enjoy! And where do these dead dogs go? And the sick pigeons? And the rats? And fellow mice? Nothing is what it seems and nothing is what it says.

No surprise there is so much cancer and more and more in younger people. It’s from all the crap and scientific sh*t we getting dished up. 

Human behavior is eating itself into rottenness.

Meanwhile. Obama in Israel. The dialogue of the deaf. Cyprus banking meltdown. Syrian onslaught (ah so déjà vu). Kenyan disputed elections. Oil tanker hijacked off the Nigerian coast. New Chinese leader (new face, same old stuff). Putin wants to buy South African choppers. More shoot outs in Americans schools, shops, malls, offices. Did Sarah Palin come back into the news? Is the hunting season over in Alaska? The British Queen had too many toilet visits so she was shipped off to a hospital for the night. More snow in Europe. Late winter. Changing seasons. Disturbed weather patterns. But the idiots refuse to accept the possibility of climate change. Postal strike in South Africa. Airline strike in Germany. A new Pope. First one from South America. A samba-Pope. GI’s killed in explosion in Iraq… or was it Afghanistan? Hugo Chavez gave his last breath. Champion of the poor. Example of democratically elected leader turning power hungry and raping the constitution. North Korea back into insanity mode. Talk of war. Talk of nuclear oblivion. Hallucinations of survival.

Human behavior is kick ass.

Throw out. NY’s in-you-face troublemakers Sheer Terror are still at it. Busy recording a new album and in the meantime they issued an ep with some Sham 69 covers. Rev. Paul is just no quitter.

4 Shots


What the hell is happening in South Africa?!? Olympic athlete and Paralympic gold medalist Oscar Pistorius, aka Blade Runner, kills his model-girlfriend. Bang, bang, bang, bang.

An accident he claims. Premeditated murder the cops shout. Oscar thought an intruder was hiding in the bathroom of his luxurious home in a high security complex. He took his gun. It was sometime between 3 and 4 am. He went to the bathroom area and shot 4 times through the closed toilet door. Result. Dead model-girlfriend. From Blade Runner to Gunner. And it was all on Valentine’s day. Blood and roses.

Then amidst the Oscar drama, a report is made public that a large percentage of South African beef burgers and sausages contain donkey, giraffe and water-buffalo. A Mc Deluxe gets a different meaning here. In Europe the meat scandal is about horse meat in beef, in South Africa it’s donkey style. So eating too many fast food burgers ain’t just bad for your waistline, it will also change your vocal chords! A bbq will never be the same again.

And then as South Africans tried to think where they still could find untainted meat, a cell phone video went viral. Police brutality in its nasty form.  Several men in blue wanted to arrest a man for parking his taxi on the wrong side of the road. The man resisted arrest… not too aggressively. Then the cops took the man and handcuffed him to the back of the police van and drove off while dragging the man behind the van. Nuts. Later that night the taxi driver died in the police cells. Cops brutality in the evil way. Animalistic. Inhumane. Bastards. After 24h of massive public and media outcry the cops got arrested and now face murder charges. Hang them high and dry!

Human behavior can be senseless.

But there is more South African insanity. Don’t know what that country did on New Year’s Eve, but 2013 is just kicking madly.

A man was sentenced to 4 life terms for repeatedly raping a 13-year-old girl in 2009. It all happened in a town called Springs. Chemical castration comes to mind. Forget the chemicals, just use an axe! Flipping sick bastards! Tell his fellow inmates to have some fun with this freak.

That’s all….? NO! A father died and his funeral was organized. We are in the South African small-town of Grootgeluk. An Afrikaans word meaning ‘Great Happiness’. But the irony of it all came blasting through the sky. At the funeral the widow was shot dead and the son wounded. I guess there was no family gathering afterwards? Any discount for family funerals?

Human behavior is unpredictable,… even at the cemetery.

Then there was the crazy fire in the Kiss nightclub in Brazil. Scores of people died. And of course the usual sad fact that there was only 1 emergency exit door. Apparently some band  played with some fire stuff on stage and boom, there goes the lives of many young Brazilians.

And then there was the French army battles in north African sandpit Mali. A fight against crazy Muslim fundamentalists who already had destroyed plenty of ancient old art and manuscripts as they thought they were un-Islamic. Blown fuses in their heads. Indoctrinated beyond sanity. Deaf, dumb and blind. Fighting and killing and maiming and destroying in the name of religion. A religion that at its core doesn’t contain such hatred, but human spin and interpretation makes it a tool of war. Disgusted!

Human behavior too often cuts itself of from its own free mind.

Russia has officially banned the Pussy Riot ‘Cathedral’ video, saying it violates extremisms laws. If you wanna hit something you will always find a stick. Russia is far from using its own free mind. Stuck in a doctrine of total control.

Human behavior needs more punk tunes!

And let’s not forget the Arab uprising. Remember the falling dominos in Tunis, Libya and Egypt? Well the Arab spring has left the world with some dark clouds. Especially in the land of the pyramids. The dictator was kicked out of his Cairo palace but the first free vote brought in extreme Muslims who right away used their democratic power to turn the clock back and install “special powers”. The path to democracy is never easy and too often filled with ugly power plays. Meanwhile the butchery in Syria continues unabated. Killing fields of freedom.  

Human behavior is self-destructive.

Pools of blood.

Throw out. NY’s hardcore godfather Vinnie Stigma has just released his second solo album “For love and glory”. A fine collection of his punkrock roots influenced tunes. He might be old school, but surely Stigma ain’t dead yet.
