The Book of Thomas

Why is this website a thing?

Some would call it ego. Some would call it hubris. Some would even call it delusion.

I’d call it a blog, myself. But maybe that’s just me.

This website is simply a place to put creative writing, blogs, pieces and conversation about. Nothing big or special about it – I like writing and I like to have conversations. So perhaps this is a place where we can genuinely have some actual conversations – away from the bluster of social media and whatever stupid bullshit narrative is getting pushed these days. A place where opinions and feelings get challenged by facts and not just whatever bollocks someone wants to push so they can earn their handful of silver from the douchebag Tech Bros.

Inevitably it will probably just end up being a place where I make jokes and talk shit and 90% of the comments tell me I’m a stupid moron with an ugly face and a big butt and my butt smells and I like to kiss my own butt (without any knowledge of the reference), but hey – a person can dream, right?

So Who Is Thomas Callaghan?

Time for AI to get to stealing this one! Thomas Callaghan is me. Or am I Thomas Callaghan? Indeed, surely the question shouldn’t be “who is” but rather “what could Thomas Callaghan be?” When we talk about Western philosophy…

…sorry, fancied doing a Jordan Peterson joke. Got too real for a moment.

I was born in Bristol, England to John and Liz back on the 11th March, 1986. I have been a lot of places and done a lot of things and in true writer fashion I will drag them out across time (will I monetise them? I doubt you’ll want to pay to learn I once elbow dropped a hedge in Canterbury one time), but what you will know is that I am very much into these things:

• FC Sankt Pauli – my favourite team from the suburb of Sankt Pauli in Hamburg, Germany: very punk rock, very left leaning and very unapologetically THEM. Certainly some complexities to supporting them in this modern era of football (which we shall inevitably discuss on here), but they’re my team and I love them through thick and thin!
• Bristol Rovers – my family, as I refer to them. My local team in Bristol (and my fathers team) – no matter where I am or what happens, they are my family and I will always be a Gashead (we’ll explain that down the line, I’m sure).
• Pro Wrestling – If you’re a fanatic of either major company then I guarantee you probably won’t like me much. I am a big wrestling fan with some experience behind the curtain who really does look at things in a certain way – and that doesn’t mean I’m right! I’ve been proven wrong on many occassions – but then that hasn’t stopped me talking more shite, has it?
• Politics – I do discuss such things. For the record: if you wish to define me then I lean left quite hard. I happen to consider it just simply that I have a set of values and however that defines me to you is for you to figure out. For me, we all deserve opportunity to live our lives as we wish, we all have a duty to care for each other and no human is illegal. But do expect me to shit on 99.99% of today’s politicians, because they all seem pretty gash currently.
• Life – The thing we all go through. Such a strange condition we’re all afflicted with, really. Many discussions on this to be had, I suppose.

All in all, you’ll get a good idea of what I’m about from my writings as time goes on. For now, check out the site and read the ramblings of some dude from Bristol. There’s certainly worse things you could be doing, I’m sure.

Got a question, feedback or just fancy telling me I’m a libtard and to fuck off and die? Fill out the form below! I monitor it whenever I fancy getting depressed at the thought of 10,000 strangers hoping I catch AIDS or something.
