The Henry Rollins School Of Neck

A college degree in neck? That’s what this dude is proposing on his blog. (Note, that’s the Henry Rollins School of Neck, not necking, ladies, stay with us….). ““Hi, guys. If you’re like me and enjoy the freedom and accessibility that a large neck can bring then please, stop by and pick up a fall schedule and promotional brochure.” Check out the blog post and see the alumni, it’s hilarious!  In addition to the items mentioned in the college gift shop, I’d would suggest a range a products bearing the phrase “Got Neck?”.

Henry Rollins Photograph by Lili Wilde

If you’re into rock photography, you may have noticed that in recent years more and more photographers from back in the day are uploading their old photos to online portfolios and flickr. There’s lots of cool stuff out there for children of the 90s. The other day I stumbled across this photo of Henry Rollins by Lilly Wilde. Rare to see a photo of Henry Rollins not staring down the camera. Click the image to visit the gallery.

Henry Rollins Hates Writing

There’s a lil’ discussion going on over at Team Rollins forum about Rollins quotes, which reminded me about this quote on writing:

“I hate writing,” he says. “I just wish I could stop but I can’t. Writing is not a joy to me. The better you get at it, the harder it is, because it’s less time that you bullshit yourself. I’ve met a handful of writers and they’re pretty miserable people. Because they know that the beast is sitting in the room saying, ‘come on. You know you’ve been playing around with your friends long enough. Back to class.’” – Henry Rollins (Source: Pop Entertainment)

Which in turn reminded me of this gem of a quote on the subject from Germaine Greer:

“I have to write. It’s a bit like shitting. It’s quite nice. Especially if you do it nicely. You know, if a nice well forced piece emerges. But if it’s coming in dribs and drabs or not coming at all, or being forced out, if you’re missing the rhythm somewhere, it’s no pleasure at all. And yet sometimes there’s an enormous pressure to do it. An not much pleasure when it’s finished.” – Germaine Greer, Playboy Magazine Interview, 1972.

Victorian Bushfire Appeal

koala

Hey folks. Where ever you are in the world you’ve probably heard about the bushfires in Victoria, Australia that have taken the lives of almost 200 people and left 5000 homeless. I know there are a lot of Aussie’s who frequent this blog, I hope you’re all safe.

Many years ago I spent some time in Marysville which is 95km east of Melbourne. The whole town has been completely destroyed by the fires. Only a few buildings are left standing. I know folk who’ve lost property and some whose property are still under threat. It’s hard to comprehend that it’s no longer there, it was truly one of the most beautiful places on earth.

Financial Donations
If it is within your means, please consider making a donation to the Australian Red Cross Bushfire Appeal. Donations are accepted via credit card on their website, and all donations will go directly towards the appeal.

Material Goods Donations
If you’re in Australia and would like to show your support but are unable to make a financial donation, St Vinnies are accepting donations of material goods at their centers across Australia.

For Web Development Nerds
SitePoint is offering five ebooks of your choice for $29.95 USD, with all proceeds going towards the bushfire appeal. If you’re interested in CSS, html, photoshop, javascript and things of that nature, it’s a pretty good deal.

We’re Back and Working on Something Cool

After four days our broadband connection has finally been restored. Frustrating to be offline for so long, but fun as well. It was a good opportunity to catch up on some reading and all those “off line” things I used to do.

I’m gonna take a few more days off from posting Rollins goodies because there’s a new section of the Hello Henry site in the works! Yep, and it’s gonna be way cool. So sit tight and stay tuned for an announcement really soon!

No posts for a wee while

My internet connection has been dead the past few days thanks to the weather conditions in my area at the moment. I have no idea when it will restored. Hopefully things will be back working soon and I’ll get busy with some Hello Henry posts again. Till then… why not visit Team Rollins.

oh.. btw, I’m posting this from a friends place.
