These two read it and you won't believe what they said...

 

The Rear Cover Blurbs

This bravely ambitious novel is like a modern ‘American Psycho’. A triumphant literary work exploring tragic and often inhumanly-human consequences. Highly intelligent and socially inappropriate, Langford’s nameless, misanthropic narrator is an arrogant, rebellious loner, who sees the world around him through a dark, dystopian lens. The new modern condition. Heartbreaking, complex and masterful.  – Dominic Kirwan, Poet, Author.

 

Langford’s protagonist, a cynical anti-hero, manages to make Chuck Palahniuk look like a motivational speaker. There are so many quotable barbs and brutal, uncensored observations that you could easily use Lone Wolf World as the basis of a side-splitting book of insults. But beneath this merciless surface, there is something deeply raw and honest at work. Langford proves that he has a tongue even Oscar Wilde would have described as "sharp". This is a bloody good read. – Pete Malicki – Author, Playwright.

There is no place lonelier than the inner city. No place more fitting to make observations on the fallibility of human beings and the easiest to design their downfall. Ideology isn’t his motivation. He hates everyone, equally. His voice is unique. And he will be heard.

 

‘Some soldiers say that War is the only reality that made them feel alive. Feasibly they didn’t want it, but they got it. They can never go back. Neither can I.’

Lone Wolf World

The Lone Wolf is Coming...

Langford's debut novel. Coming soon.

There is no place lonelier than the inner city. No place more fitting to make observations on the fallibility of human beings and the easiest to design their downfall. Ideology isn’t his motivation. He hates everyone, equally. 

His voice is unique. And he will be heard.

‘Some soldiers say that War is the only reality that made them feel alive. Feasibly they didn’t want it, but they got it. They can never go back. Neither can I.’

As is always the case, I make these videos and hold onto them, often for years.

This was made in early 2018 from footage I had recently shot near the Entrance, New South Wales.

I think the vision came first and I wrote the poem around it.

Usually it's the other way around.

How to End Sexual Harassment

The New Solution against Sexual Harassment 

'Miss, how do I do up my seatbelt?'

(Good tip for the new Terrorist. Rather than utilising some dirty dude with a feral beard,
employ a hot babe! Then no-one will show any concern for the unattended baggage in the seat behind her.)

A recent survey of Qantas airline staff said that 25% (a nice round number) reported being sexually harassed by customers or other staff members. While sexual harassment as a term, has yet to be defined in this particular case, as either a look, a comment, being followed, stalked or a grope, there is a simple way to eradicate this type of behavior.

Ugly staff.

'O Captain, my Captain.'

For all time, attractive people, in most cases young women, have been used by companies to be the face of their brand. The literal Front Line. Is is any wonder then, that these attractive people are found desirable? That's their purpose, surely? It's not their fault. It's the companies that continue to exploit them for their looks and bodies.

The Tea Lady

Enough is Enough

Simple solution. Employ ugly people. Also employ a 50-50 quota of male and female. It would also be of great benefit if they did not have good bodies, as some don't mind if the mantelpiece is off while stoking the fire, to quote an old phrase. You can see why times have changed!
It's best for everyone concerned if their bodies where really quite off-putting as well.

That's the spirit! No Silicone!

Think of how much sexual harassment would be reduced in the workplace! We do know that some people are quite happy to be exploited for their looks, such as front-line reception staff etc and models and TV hosts etc. The list is really quite long. But those people don't speak for everyone. In this day and age, can we really afford to reward the frivolous and risk sexual harassment? Why should good looking people get job opportunities others can't simply due to how they look?

New Real Estate Agents - Their sales figures just quadrupled.  
'I'll have what he's selling.'

In the 21st century, where being offended can get people fired, it's time to put this centuries old practice to one side. We must progress as the enlightened species we desire to be! (Desire is a bad phrase. Perhaps it should be banned).

Equal opportunities for all!
Let's reward people for their actual skill set. And intelligence. And personality. Not gender, physical beauty, race, sexuality, blah blah.
(Crazy concept, isn't it).

Promote the ugly! Fire the beautiful. 

And make this world a better, uglier place.

While we're here, let's turn the tables on the Porn Industry. We want to see the ugliest, hairiest, lumpiest actors possible. Small willys and saggy boobys. No Silicone. Ban the Botox. Ban the fake Orgasms. Just Ban everyone goddamit! And free the Sexually Enslaved and the Perpetually Enraged.

(We'll do anything, just to get them to stop the fucking whining. We've got a global headache).

A real Porn 'Star' - Good on her. More please!

Do you have any tips on how to end Sexual Harassment, particularly in the workplace? 

Should we chemically castrate all men? Or just replace them with robots? Make sex an illegal activity unless you have a license? Wear company masks, so that no one know what a person looks like, and communicates via a gender neutral computer voice? I like it!

 Gender neutral robots - workers of the Future!

('On second thoughts, I'll do my own seatbelt. Asshole.')

(If you know anyone really attractive who gets all the attention, forward them this. It's bound to piss them off).

S.W.M. seeking retirement

S.W.M. seeking retirement

I am no longer restless

Or eager for the fight

The assholes are running the racket

And for the most part,

Always have.

The tales are told by the victors

This we know

They also ensure that the losers are kept silent

At least in their lifetimes

(Do not open pre death).

I’m weary before my time

If I ever had the energy

Or perhaps it sailed by

Under a lidless sky

And that, dear friend

Was the proverbial boat.

I won’t accept defeat graciously

Nor would it make sense

Not to be embittered

In all its resplendent colours

(Is there anything more vibrant?)

Yet the heat has fallen

From my charged spirit.

All I seek now

Knowing that the past is firmly etched

Is the vacuum of silence

The space to breathe

And the freedom

To grow blissfully bored.

Brittle beaten warriors

Starlight swallows sense

There is an artistic shroud

That settles like star dust

Over the dark encrusted

Brittle beaten warriors

Who seek a sample

Of Sanctuary

From the speckled light

Hoping for more than illumination

Entrusting a way

Towards a new and solid path.

If they can’t find it soon

Then can we share

Their scrap of hope

As the barrel bottom dregs

Creates moisture effigies

Of our misery

So that we can visualise

Our actualities

Whilst our spirits

Finally get the picture.

At some point

It’s prudent to hang hats

And embark on a new trail

Than persist in the face of futility.

If our egos will allow it.
