JEPPSQUARE
The Micro Blog Of Simon E. Jepps

"Oh ye grande firmament of sixty-four squares, thou have teased the caverns of my mind for so long a time, thine good pawns and knights and queens, a royal castling of philosophy with love, yet... a circle of untruths, of forever pains and crimes... thou tortures me with hopelessness for a nirvana that doth not exist! Is it a game to promise life and yet reward only with death? Aye, for Chess is like a selfish king whom seeks to find greatness only in himself, a promise of a living happiness which in truth art merely an endless death. Behold now thence I shall capture not thine rooks or knights, but capture I will thine grande firmament and reshape it anew with stronger, forever loving hands." ~ Ckess Poetry, Music, Cycling, Chess, ye old "Paper World" and of course much of World Literature has always been and always will be, the narrator and the narration of my life. Born in 1978, I am a time traveller of sorts, a person deeply connected to my 20th century roots and the quiet song of life which once sang for all as the sweet croissant and good espresso of our days. My blog, whilst embracing of modern or 'progressive' technology, is likewise a defensive 'tardis', its mission to bring unto the world a good handful of my creative works, yet meanwhile presenting only its flight, its colours and its fading face, whilst in truth it silently seeks to protect the real world from the growing 'nothing' of 'smart' phone enslavement and to destroy the darkness which has 'hijacked' the majestic poetical narration of our once meaningful lives. I am Simon, welcome to my square. To your right hand you will find my Twitter feed, from where I publish short reflections, opinions or discussions on the historic savourings, modern eventisms and creative wonderings of our world. At the bottom of the page you will find a Games Vault & Alt Pages module, which whence opened will display a database of all my best Chess Variants, Other Games and also a handful of Featured Pages, detailing some of my creative works that I feel would be, whilst only of modest interest, also of great spirit for the human soul. You can also watch Live Blitz games between grandmasters! You can connect with me over on Twitter from where I tweet my Micro Blog and if you like, help me to bring my games Ckess & Scacchronos onto the grande table. Or, if you'd rather just share this webpage with your friends, please do! Thank you for reading.
