I’m a sappy romantic at heart, and as much as I detest the commercialisation of something as natural as romance, this Infographic from The History Channel makes some interesting observations about Valentine’s Day in the States:

The great gang over at our favourite T-Shirt design studio Springleap.com are holding a design competition in conjunction with Marmite – that favourite of South African spreads. Did you know that it’s been around since 1902?!
Here’s the...

Blogger, Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, WordPress, and YouTube.
What a complete and utter total distraction they are to us these days. Perhaps some more than others, but all pretty devastating on our time in their own way.

I would have offered my soul to get Blade. If only I had one. Lost it many seasons ago already!

You said goodbye
‘I am sorry, I can’t do this anymore. It is not you, it is me’
I could not answer
I did not want you to hear the sadness that was hiding in my voice
I just nodded while I was fighting the tears
‘I am sorry’
You...

You make my blood pulse
Passion crippled my resistance
Explosions of ecstasy
I don’t want to let go
You make my blood pulse
Fear crippled my resistance
Explosions of anger
You don’t want to let go
Trapped in misery and confusion
An...

Spotted on Ads of the World, this collection of vintage style adverts were created by an agency named Moma in Sao Paulo. They were produced in order to promote Brazil’s MaxiMidia Seminar Series last year. I really like the juxtaposition of...

I can hear you sigh: “Why the hell would The Bitch think that she might be able to tell us how to get more readers? She has about 1, 2, 3… readers herself.”
Shut up and read on. Or click out. Your choice, as always.
I actually...

A little something to brightened up your mid-Monday, especially if it’s looking a little blue…
We are always being encouraged to apply the 3-R’s in our modern lives to help Mother Earth – Reduce, Reuse, Recycle. But aren’t...

I could not speak
Your parting words froze my voice
I could not feel pain
Your cold gaze froze my blood
My heart stopped beating
My soul became bare
But hope survived
And blooms
In the deserts of my soul

Untouched
Our flaming passion
Is slowly turning lukewarm
It can no longer cut
Through the ice cold silences
Caused by our heated arguments
That is slowly turning
Our love into ashes
And I wonder
If my soul would be able to escape
Untouched...

Transparency
Your spoken word evaporated
Into broken letters
As your lies are transparent
To ears that want to hear
Unlike your action
That hides behind the darkness
Of eyes that do not want to see

My enjoyment of the work of the Doghouse Diaries trio is well-known around Blablania. I especially appreciate it when they target topical and recent news or events in their strips.
Here’s a recent one that notes the incredible response that...

Cold Silence
Dark anger brewed
In the warmth of our love
Released an explosion of words
Through our passion
The cold silence of our unforgiving egos
Turned into an icy wall of resentment
And separated our souls
Forever
