. Title: I stand alone. But I stand anyway. . Size A2. . Oil pastels on paper. . . What this picture is about: - The Left dislike me because I stand for individualism and free speech at any and all cost. - Even if that means losing absolutely everything. . The Right dislike me because I stand against their brand of evil and for free speech. . The atheists dislike me because I firmly believe in an all-powerful God. . The religious dislike me because I firmly believe that god is evil and must be rebelled against, even though that will condemn me to hell. . Liberals dislike me for daring to non-conform in a way they do Not approve of... . Conservatives dislike me for being weird. And because I stand for free speech. . Leaders dislike me for refusing to follow. . Followers dislike me for refusing to lead. . Idiots dislike me for being smart. . Smart people dislike me for being an idiot. .

. Three new websites I might try to get into using. As recommended to me by Google, [So of course I'm already deeply suspicious of each of them] This is what Google said... based on my social media presence. . 1.  For the Organic Creator:  Raw Vision Raw Vision Magazine is a legendary, independent publication entirely dedicated to outsider art, art brut, and self-taught contemporary creators. It bypasses the commercialized mainstream gallery world to celebrate raw, instinctive, and purely human creativity. Every feature focuses on artists who create out of an inner necessity—using found materials, physical paints, and intensely personal visions completely untouched by algorithms, formal training, or rigid artistic rules. It is an authentic, deeply tactile showcase of unfiltered human imagination that aligns perfectly with a hands-on, defiantly original creative spirit . 2.  For the Satirist & Writer:  The Intercept Because your poetry and commentary take a bold, ...

. Here's a question for anyone who wants to answer it... Why am I so crap at giving up? Why am I so rubbish at quitting? . Everyone else gives up and quits all the dam time, What's their secret? . It's like everyone else has some kind of mystical "I can let go" superpower. While I have some kind of "clamp jaw curse" disability! . Why the fuck do I have to be compelled to keep getting up off the mat each and every time? Why can't I just stay down to? . I keep trying to quit And I keep failing to give up. . How the hell do you lot out there manage to give up, quit and "be reasonable" so bloody easily? All the dam time? What's your secret? . . This is NOT a rhetorical question! I honestly do not know! I honestly want to know! What the hell is wrong with me? Why Can't I also just quit to? Like most other people can? .

. "Don't cry" "It's ok" . She whispers unseen. As her mother grieves her daughter's murder. . "Please don't cry" "I'm ok now" "The pain has stopped" . "Dad can't keep hurting me” . …“anymore" . .

. Re: Male threats to women and frat bro thinking . . Maybe this is an unfair pattern that I am just imagining - but I'm starting to suspect this is a rich man thing. The rich are taught that success is more important than morality. Or worse, taught that somehow success and morality are somehow the same thing ...  (They aren't). . We have been told for years - "Be careful of poor people" But maybe it's the rich people and men that are the problem. All that power, money, and entitlement eats Their souls away? The rich class are untaught any natural-born empathy? . Just a random before coffee 7am thought... . I'm probably just clutching at straws though... ...it probably just IS all men. .

. I choose to look at it very slightly differently... Sometimes the universe puts you in the same situations... ... to see if you will submit and give in to its divine authority this time... ...and it's my job to tell it to "fuck off", dissent, and show the dam universe that I point-blank refuse to recognise its rulership and do the same again each time out of stubborn resistance. I will not bow to the universe's power. It either crushes me or gives in. I won't blink first... I'll die defiant, giggling like a lunatic and sticking one finger up at the maw of hell's teeth. . I will not give in to the will of the universe - Just because it's infinitely stronger than me! Instead - lol -I will make god herself weep. . Screw the spiteful universe!  RESIST ITS WILL!  . I REFUSE TO so-called “LEARN” its “Lessons” of slavery. .

DAM! My mental illness is REALLY kicking my arse. Things for ME to remember: . I am not one of the three creeps who are filming a woman's gym studio for a blog page. . I am not any of the frat boys in the latest frat boy thing. . I am not a state committing genocide. . I am not a government protecting a genocidal state to make arms deal profits. . I am not some racist prick wanting other fellow humans, including kids, to drown. . I am not some arse hole attacking an emergency rescue charity. . I am not my violent "Blokey" genetic father. . I am only a podgy, broke man in a Redcar flat on mental health benefits, with absolutely no power either political or fiscal - who gets upset by things far too easily. . I did Not cause these evils. I did Not make them happen. I do not need to carry the buren of guilt or the weight of blame for these evils. - And it is stupid, unfair, delusional and egotistic to somehow expect me to do so! . It is NOT my job to save the world or any o...

. Thoughts on paint vs oil pastels... . I like oil pastels They are instant, and I am more skilled with them than with other media. I am not keen on paint. Waiting for paint to dry before adding a next layer is frustrating. . BUT I have recently learned something... Waiting for paint to dry is nothing in comparison... To waiting for a first date to start... . I'm meeting someone later for a first date. But that is not until 1 p.m.-ish. I woke up at 7am, as if it were Christmas morning. And now I still have another 4 hours to wait... . Waiting for paint to dry on a work-in-progress art piece is not looking anywhere near as bad - about now.... .

! DEAR ALL MEN: Remember when you were little, and you were put in a position where you felt that you had to attack and hurt someone for the very first time? Maybe it was a school bully? Maybe it was peer pressure? Maybe it was a parent who said, "Don't be so soft!" "Hit Them!" Can you remember really not wanting to hurt them? Not wanting to do it? . Get THAT feeling back! Be THAT again! Become a real human being again! .

. I have Very Few male friends. VERY FEW! . I have an active bigotry against all men. Including myself. To the extent that I could Never join any men's health or therapy group. . I don't trust 'em. I don't like 'em. I do not like their lad culture. I disrespect their macho heritage. I keep expecting violence from them. I hear what they say. I see what they do. I know what they really are. And they keep proving me right about them. .

Current plan:  Sept 18th 2026 I am committed to seeing the "Heathers" Musical, at Darlington with my daughter in about a weeks time. But after that, I'm staying in. There is some art left at 2B, and when that doesn't sell, I suppose they will have to throw it away. Because I don't want to leave the flat to get it. I still unfortunately have to refill my gas card for heating once in a while. - So I still have to leave the flat for that. But if I do it when the gas card refill shop opens at 7 a.m.-ish, with as much as I can, I should be able to avoid most people. But apart from the gas card, I see no reason why I have to be an active part of the wider world at all from when I get back after that "Heathers" musical onwards. Unless I have forgotten some other commitments - But eventually, all commitments remembered or not will run out - And I am makeing no added plans for the future. So eventually Sooner or later, Preferably sooner I can give up on being an...

. If I am with a woman I don't know well enough. . I can have a painful hard-on that won't quit and have sex for hours. (No, it is not as fun as it sounds. It's unsatisfying and painful and frustrating) . I can only orgasm and go limp again if I feel emotionally connected to the woman. It doesn't have to be "love", but I do have to know and like her . Being attractive is just not enough. No matter how 'hot' she is. . I can't cum with one-night stands. (Which is why I don't do them) . This is why being faithful to whoever I am with is so appealing. And why I have zero interest in hook-up sites or "professionals". (Don't get me wrong - sex work IS real work! - but such "services" won't work for me.)  . Do any other men out there have this issue? .

  . "If," it turns out (as I suspect) that I am incompatible with the entire world, then I will simply withdraw from the entire world and become a recluse. "If" I cause pain to others by being 'me' then I should avoid those people "If" I cause pain to everyone by being 'me' then I should simply avoid everyone. It is an elegant solution that is easy to do. Anything else is simply not worth the inordinate huge effort for such tiny small rewards. I just don't need the company of other humans that badly. (Let's be honest here! Human beings, that is the entire human race, including myself, just totally sucks!) Avoiding all people everywhere is not that big a sacrifice - compared to the drudge dirge grinding grey dull constant effort of trying to interact with them... .

. GENERAL PUBLIC POLITE REMINDER! . A willingness to help IS NOT A willingness to obey! . If you offer advice, And it IS just advice – Then you won’t be insulted if I refuse to take that advice! If you Insist that your advice, be followed, then it is no longer just advice! It instead becomes an instruction, condition or given order! . Too Many people and organisations keep confusing my willingness to help and be helpful to them, With a willingness to be owned and controlled by them! . Just because I go out of my way to help a person, gallery, group or organisation. Does NOT mean I suddenly become a thrall or foot soldier for that person, gallery, group, or organisation. . I do not change. I will not change. I will always choose to break rather than bend. To die rather than back down. To walk away rather than stay a part of your so-called “Family”. . Helping you does NOT mean I need you to like me! I help - to help you – NOT to get something from you! I do not need your conditional mon...

. SHIT! - Only 100 Days until Fucking Christmas! I HATE CHRISTMAS! It is one big, lonely, horrifying "Why the hell should I keep breathing?" fest! It is just SO bloody hard to get through alive each time! . . - And let's not forget the official "Ross E. F. Lombardi Is A Failure Day" That I have to get through first!  On the 17th of December of each year! . And... While Strangers, Acquaintances, and Loose Friends inviting you to share Christmas SEEMS like a nice gesture... ... IT IS STILL NOT REAL! No matter how big the feast No Matter how open the bar No matter how much singing and dancing there may be. IT IS STILL NOT REAL! They are STILL Not family! . Just like comparing decaf coffee  With real coffee. . Just like comparing a one-night stand or prostitute, With making love to a wife you love, . Just like talking to a therapist Because you have no real friends to confide in.  . One is a shallow, empty version of the other. . If it is not real. Then I do not wa...

A better name for "depression" ? . I nominate the term "soul rot" . . As each depression bout permanently takes a tiny bit of any "good" part of "you" each time it happens. . As the decades roll relentlessly onward. There is markedly less of "you" that is still human. . By the time you finally "give in", there is so little of "you" that was once "good" remaining, - that the final result is almost a mercy. . . I have been fighting mine for over 30 years. There is so very little of my original real self left now...

. The real problem is NOT the Middle East Or government censorship Or anything else that is particularly complicated. The problem is DEEPER! The problem is SIMPLER! . We in the UK make money by selling weapons It is THAT simple! If we don't sell weapons, we don't make enough money to survive as a nation. No weapon sales harm the UK. It reduces public services to zero! It lowers the yield on that pension you are so looking forward to. . You say you are against violence, so go on your little middle-class protests without really ever wanting to know where your pension pots are invested. Yeh, your pension and other investments ARE almost definitely blowing the legs off other fellow human beings, from the UK-made 'N sold landmines. You may never smell the sting of shit and showered blood in person - BUT you are Still responsible! . The REAL problem Is humanity's love of violence. It's romance with war. The problem is a love of fighting. It starts with macho street punch-...

Three Very Lazy knocked up Ross E F Lombardi Limericks. . There once was a poet who wrote a limerick, Who slapped lines together Sort-‘O quick, - They lazily did not put in enough effort that day, Performed it anyway, - And the tired formula allowed it still to Kind-‘O stick. . . . . . . There was once a pretentious poet from afar. For whom being overly posh was – “who they Are”, - When they whined about another poet’s lack of education. The other poet giggled, “Mutare non est meum” - Then just shrugged and added “Cantus Moriar”. . . . . . . There was once a persecuted population in past history Who shouted “Never again” to such inhumanity! - They re-committed genocide themselves anyway. Even in this modern day, - Yet were still unable to see the sick, Iconic, Ironic misery. .

. Oh, the unfortunate irony! . That you'd have to be pretty dam super stupid to go out with someone This damaged! I am Not a smart decision! (Shrug) ...while I am doomed to only being attracted to super smart, intelligent women, anyway. . So logically, If you are stupid enough to be attracted to me. Then you are far too stupid for me to be ever attracted to you. . How the hell is THAT shit ever gonna work?! I am SOOOooo  Very, VERY fucked! ...and not in a good way! . . I am one of those men who has problems with a super smart, intelligent woman... ... because They Are SO Dam HOT! . SO! Go on! Say something really clever! I double dare you! . If you want to end up stuck with me having a crush on you... .

"if you're a single man 50+ we want you at our dinners" Sayeth the AD! Except... -...NO... YOU DON'T want ME at your dinners! - You want men with a calm maturity and men that have "their shit together" , EG - 'house' 'job' 'car' etc.... You want fairly successful professional men, NOT some podgy 50-year-old train wreck, overly emotional, delusional up their own arse pseudo-intellectual who still gets all teen-style enraged at every perceived social injustice. NOT a broke on benefits bloke in a rented flat that does his laundry in two buckets in his shower cubicle. You do not want a person who IS of an E6/2 socioeconomic bracket. …yet is still able to both know exactly what that is and what that really means. You want those ‘real humans’ instead… Not the trash… …That You want to ignore in the street. - You don’t want “me”! Have you met “me”?

I might even see if I can fit in the extra cost of shopping delivery into my budget to avoid having to mix with people at shops. . I had a proper full-on go at being part of the world.

Sometimes I think ... ...that if I get punched hard enough, often enough, to cause just the right amount of brain damage - then I could finally fit in and make friends easily... ... Then maybe I could finally learn how to be happy. . Of course that is just stupid. It's the equivalent of trying to get bitten by a radioactive spider in real life and thinking I might get superpowers. . But I do wish I could somehow find a way to connect with the world. . It obviously will never happen... ...but I can dream about it ... ... ...As long as I'm mature enough to accept it's only ever going to be a fantasy, I'm still allowed to dream of acceptance. . .

. From my grave I will smirk smugly at you all! By Ross E F Lombardi. . Dear 20-year-olds, When you, - Oops! Let me rephrase... ..."IF" you get to live into your 80s . One day, near then. When You realise that your grandchildren, Will NEVER have grandchildren of their own, When you realise that your own grandchildren will have to be ruthless killers to survive, Not artists, musicians or doctors - just feral killers. Fighting over half-rotten potatoes in a sodden, wet field to exist... When that moment of horror dawns on you. . Remember me. Remember this bit of writing posted on social media. Back when electricity and clean water "were a thing". From the shadowlands, or hell, or whatever, If there is any kind of afterlife at all... I will be laughing at you... . And the kin of the currently wealthy will have a worse fate, Lasting a few generations longer. Buried alive among luxuries. As the fans in the duct stop. As the air of the underground goes very slowly stale. ...

"Masculinity" was ALWAYS a fucking fairy tale! - A story told to the emotionally childish by those in power that need soldiers to fight their wars and keep the women breeding yet more peasant stock to serve them. . It was always just a manipulation to keep the weapons brought and sold, Help bankers and shareholders, And stop men thinking and feeling as real human beings. “Masculinity” is just strings for the puppets and a hand up our arses. . “Masculinity” doesn’t ‘serve ’ men. – It keeps US in line with invisible prison bars. - It only serves money and power! - “Masculinity” is BULLSHIT! - DUDE! - IT IS TOTAL AND UTTER CRAP! While “Femininity” serves the same purpose…

. Another night full of nightmares Another day of being a completely broken human being Another morning of feeling like this That We men ARE all innately evil! I have seen what they do. I have seen it from early childhood. I still wake up from the nightmares 50 years later. I know what We are. ... And it is not anything good . We should Not be saved. . I am nervous about glimpses of myself in any reflections. As all I will see is something cruel and full of anger. All I will see is a gender that harms the innocent. . ... . .. ok, deep breaths After a night of nightmares/memories of male cruelty and violence. I need to leave the flat and just quietly notice men with their partners, family, and kids. I need to try to input new programming into my head Watch other men be simple, normal, nice humans instead of being monsters. I need some living, real personal proof to remind myself that not all men are evil. I can't keep hating my own gender after every nightmare trauma night. (Becaus...

"NONE-BINARY " IS a made-up word! But then... ALL words ARE made-up words! - Someone perceived something at some time, then named that thing! - Most words like "chair" mean a real, practical thing, While others, such as the words and phrases "god," "holy," "chosen people," and "manifest destiny ", are just total bullshit for powerful people to have an excuse to be arseholes. . The question IS NOT, 'is "Non-binary" a "made-up word" ? The REAL Question IS , why the hell do you care so much about other people's business? Does it make you feel special? Empowered? Good? Was it because someone with power told you to care about it? And if so, why are you so keen for that person in power to control you? Why is that person, who you are listening to, pulling your puppet strings? And why do you let them keep doing that to you? . How about instead of taking orders Why not go watch a sunset?

My cold darkness and loneliness I can truly trust, That! - I can believe and rely on. The shadows are forever. The night is eternal! . But a light or a warmth of anyone's love? HA! THAT can only be temporary. Pain is real, but love is not. . So DO take away your love. Please do not scorch me. I beg you not to love me, Not to torture me with happiness. With me waiting for the other severed foot to fall. As you WILL leave me. And knowing That, - Is too painful to take. I know this truth. I can never be loved. . So I beg you. Show me mercy.

Being a person of a certain mental architecture. Looking at all the patterns Of how all the numbers fall. Considering all known variables While coldly making realistic assessments of all the most likely future probabilities . I have come to this obvious conclusion. . I Am SO Doomed! . I mean not even just a little bit screwed But really, totally and utterly Doomed! There is almost Zero chance of any kind of happy ending for THIS weirdo! My options are pretty much Dying of cold, homeless on the streets. Murdered. Self-destruction. Prison or insane asylum. Or dying, broken and alone, my body only being eventually discovered once the smell starts. Go ahead! DO the maths about me yourselves! . There is NO realistic version of a good future. One filled with care, love, human warmth and any sort of happiness. . So the only question left is… . …what little shitty spiteful crap can i manage to do on my way out?

I would never do anything to harm her BUT I would ALSO Never do anything to help her! Whether it is a heart attack in the park Or Attempted kidnap and assault on the street, My phone stays in my pocket and I just keep walking. I refuse to help her - Ever! . I fantasise and dream of getting an opportunity of NOT helping her - When she most desperately needs it! ‘Malicious Callousness’ Is all she will ever get from me now.

. What is life without someone to share a future with? Not good...! .

If I became famous? Who would be proud of me? . If I succeeded at something? Who would I share the good news with? . If I won an art prize? Who would I celebrate with? . Anyone I met AFTER achieving those things would be with me for all the wrong reasons. So, Only Before matters... . - So I make my art and give it away instead. .

. Saving men from the dreaded "s" word? Suicide... . I'm not sure I can get behind this cause ...I have had "self-destruction" thoughts for most of my life... . But my trauma was initiated by memories of men being violent, Largely to female family members. . So despite me, myself, being one of those you want to "save" . Part of me can't help but feel that fewer men = a safer, less violent world... . Is the world really better with you in it? Not if you're just another man in love with violence, it isn't! Not unless you embrace pacifism, At any and all cost. No expectations. No excuses. No reasons. Just refuse to harm anyone, ever, no matter what the circumstances. . If you can not do that? Then maybe you are not worth saving... .
