The Wicked Me

Do you have a personality for work, another for home, and then a real you?

You should be a Dad who does the dishes. Mom can go camping with her girlfriends. It’s okay that Granny still enjoys sex. And I don’t have to do politics all the time.

That’s why I have Wicked Ghosts where my Wicked Mike persona (or the real me) posts something different every Saturday at midday, from movies and music to love and sex, from documentaries to diary entries and poems from my confused youth.

If these latest entries interest you, then consider subscribing there. I bet you’ll love the first link, a short documentary about children and music, and the adults who care for them. I was heart-warmed though also worried that its uniqueness means cultural identity is eroding, that a singular Western identity is taking over. But, hey, that’s my political personality talking. You should just watch it because it’s wonderful!

IRRELIGIOUS COMEDY

Wicked Mike’s Ghosts
The Death of Georgie Bumwheel (part 1)
Georgie Bumwheel wasn’t feeling well. He had been on his way home from Dirty Harry's, the local pub, when, in the middle attempting to think of a decent excuse to tell the missus shy he was so incredibly late, a gigantic pink pig (incidentally it had reminded him very much of his missus whom he believed to be mankind's closest resemblance to a ball) had …

Wicked Mike’s Ghosts
The Death of Georgie Bumwheel (part 2)
"Order, order in Heaven," God demanded. The angels quietened down (lowering their eyes to look at their dresses). They had been arguing over who would have the last piece of bubbleyum that had been given to them by Archangel Michael. They quickly solved the dilemma by deciding to share the gum; three chews each…

NOT FOR PRUDES

Wicked Mike’s Ghosts
Sexual Perception
When he arrived in the park, tired with his wife and excited kids, the young woman was sitting on the grass, the tree between her and the summer sun. Her skin was cream. Her breasts were firm with youth, the nipples pressing against the thin dress and pointing slightly upwards, as if at him. The material hugged her inwards and flared gently at her thigh…
