• The Sad Eyes…

  I find young children to be very attentive, certainly a lot more than people give them credit for anyway. It’s easy to look at them playing – pretending to be chasing after an imaginary monster, taking out evil ninjas, or goodness knows what else…and think that they are not clued in to the real world…

• Lost Marbles

  I think I may have just lost my marbles…not literally obviously – I mean I don’t even own marbles in the first place, so it would be impossible to literally lose them. Also I’m quite careful with things, especially with particularly precious items – and I’m guessing they must be pretty fucking special marbles if…

• What is Success?

  “What is success?” And I know, I know…everyone has a different version of the definition – apparently…but we are all people, and for the most part this drives us to want the same things. To love, and be loved…to have a purpose, and a core motivation…to eat an entire family sized lasagna by yourself without…

• I’M NOT A PAEDOPHILE.

  I have a confession to make that may actually surprise a few people…I’m…not…a paedophile. Phew, kinda nice to get that one off my chest! It’s been eating away at me for ages!

• 2014 in Review

  Here’s an excerpt: The Louvre Museum has 8.5 million visitors per year. This blog was viewed about 180,000 times in 2014. If it were an exhibit at the Louvre Museum, it would take about 8 days for that many people to see it. Click here to see the complete report. Thank you to everyone! With…

• The Forking Path

  As this year draws to a close, I find myself musing on all that has happened up till now – and pondering on what may come my way in the future…the funny thing is, things never turn out the way you expect – which is what makes life so interesting! Or scary depending on how you look…

• Language Barrier

  I struggle on an almost daily basis with the language barrier. Now you may be fooled into thinking that this is simply a vague metaphor…a creation of our imagination to describe a certain feeling, when we cannot deliver our thoughts to another human. Well I can tell you now that the language barrier, is so very real –…

• Sky’s the Limit.

  During my stay in Finland I always started the work-day early, and spent the evenings grafting till late at the lodge’s bar…the rule was I had to work until the last person decided to go to bed. Then I could shut up shop, and finally get some much needed sleep. So I could do the whole…

• Harmony, Peace…and other dreams.

  I would love to live in a perfect world. For me it would be all marshmallow houses, chocolate rivers, and a whole lot of laughter. Basically the plot of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Minus the singing mind you, because I couldn’t really deal with that – but the overall positive vibe, and focus on confectionery make it a…

• DISRESPECT YOUR ELDERS.

  Were you brought up, and instructed to “respect your elders”? Well yeah, so was I…and although this phrase sounds a little Star Wars-ish, once you get past that, it is for the most part a sound bit of advice. After all with age, comes experience, and with experience comes wisdom (most of the time)…why would I want to make…
