Simon King

I have started this site to amuse myself. I am on the fringe of things, so I rarely come across people - this site will not prove to be very popular. I used to use this website way back in '05 and '06 to promote my dissonant home recordings, and that never really worked out. No-one visited - not even when I got my little plug in The Wire magazine. As you can see, I am rather invisible. I wouldn't have it any other way, however, since I actually enjoy being anonymous.

Anyway, my literary work shall now predominate on this website, with the occasional musical composition interspersed.

www.freewebs.com/simonking - home to a pretentious teenager's wretchedly awful prose.

I am an angry, reclusive 17-year-old who's detached from reality. I was born in Chile and I live in Sheffield, UK. I no longer socialise and I dropped out from college, meaning that I have a bleak future ahead of me. I have a very strong interest for the dense and the abrasive. I write fiction, spend a ridiculous amount of time hearing music, read books, stay up all night, go for adventurous walks, scream at my parents, have an obsession for Mark E. Smith, drink coca-cola, wank, and have a strong penchant for dreaming.

I love mavericks and I despise academics. I hate people that join groups, imposing ideologies and aesthetics over their thinking. This is why I adore humans that break with convention to say what they want to say in the 100% adequate language: Mark E. Smith, Charles Ives, Harry Partch, Borges, Cortazar, etc.
