The Existential Compost

Starting in 2004, Stegzy Gnomepants began an online Livejournal adventure to escape a very boring job and a terrible addiction to IRC.

After many adventures and battles with stupid people Stegzy reluctantly left his home town of Liverpool to move to Barnsley. One divorce and a degree in television production and media from the University of Huddersfield later, Mr Gnomepants' online career waned with the emergence of Facebooks, Twitters, short attention spans and a move to the Midlands.

Stegzy Gnomepants now lives in a sleepy Northamptonshire village just outside the dozy town of Daventry with his lovely wife zoefruitcake and their three cats, Zeb, Misty and Quincy.

This LJ chronicles the transition from a home owning, work slave to a penniless, unemployed graduate and then to present day as a middle management office person. There are many exciting posts within, comments to read and polls to take. Sadly, in 2009, due to numerous reasons and fluctuations in social internet usage, Stegzy opted to move over to Dreamwidth for the next stage in this epic journey. This journey was not as epic as he had hoped and so, rather than admit fault, the only answer was to cease all online activity.

This idiotic idea soon passed and so he returned to the fold this time using LJ as a platform for run of the mill happenings. To further enhance his web presence, Gnomepants also reactivated The Other Compost as a vehicle for the really long well thought out posts and redesigned The Mucky Badger as a place to host his food writings. And so here we are today, carefully balancing creativity with career aspirations and personal thoughts. Are you sure you want to add him? He dun't 'alf whitter on you know.....

Hymn number 213 by David

Parsnips and cigarrettes
buses and flatulance sunflower seeds
music and a taste
for taste,
circles + squares
alternate maddeningly.
Dark nights but angel
hands and we reach
two friendship fists across an ocean
for props, mad props, and touch.
