Jogging into the Abyss

It was the night before jogging and all through the house, my excitement was stirring – maybe soon I’d have a spouse. But then I awoke and with the toll of the alarm…my body was unwilling – getting fit, had lost it’s charm. I’ve always been full of half-good ideas…you know; spontaneous expensive trips abroad insteadContinue reading “Jogging into the Abyss”

The Age of Wisdumb

I’ve noticed something lately, and I can’t seem to get away from it wherever I turn…it’s on every corner, on every page, on every video, and on every programme…I suppose it’s always been there to some extent – it’s just that now it seems to be reaching alarmingly high levels… I’m not sure what setContinue reading “The Age of Wisdumb”

Broke? Travel Anyway!

I often get emails, and messages from people – asking the same question – “how do you afford travel? Are you from a rich family? Do you have connections? Did you get some crazy compensation deal – and have decided to blow it all on roaming the world rather than making sound investments?!” Well, no.Continue reading “Broke? Travel Anyway!”

How Do I BEAT Anxiety?!

This video request is from Rehma Aziz – she asked a great question, which was “why do we feel anxiety?” So in this video I explore that topic, and have a good old root around in my messed up psyche! Enjoy! CORRECTION – Rehma is not a gentleman…she’s a gentle…er, lady! I’m just an idiot as perContinue reading “How Do I BEAT Anxiety?!”

I’m 24.

It’s my birthday, and I am 24 years old. Why does that sound like an AA meeting, or something? Like a confessional? Because I’m not bummed about it by any means – in fact I think I like the sound of it a lot better! It’s a kind of in between age like 23 is, still onContinue reading “I’m 24.”

Fight Club

I would like to think I am a lover, and not a fighter…after all, usually physical conflict doesn’t really solve much when you think about it. Obviously some people make it very tempting, but more often than not, non-peaceful ways to shut them the hell up, are somewhat frowned upon! Naturally if your dear oldContinue reading “Fight Club”

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 aContinue reading “Harmony, Peace…and other dreams.”

The Oracles

Re-watched this wonderful video recently… My 23rd year is almost over, and I must say their tarot reading was a little off, their horoscope predictions somewhat skew-whiff! Hmmm…but there’s always next year I suppose… http://www.facebook.com/storytimewithjohn

Job Hunt

Wouldn’t it be great if we didn’t have to have a job? And when I say job, I mean the thing you don’t really want, but get up most days to go to, and spend most of your life complaining about – yeah, that thing. I am not referring to dreams, callings, or purposes –Continue reading “Job Hunt”

Back to the future…

I have just been looking through old photos on my phone, having a little clear out of memes and stupid pictures I seem to accrue for some reason – when I stumbled across this… Let me explain. It’s a screenshot of a message that I got from a kindergarten student of mine after he graduatedContinue reading “Back to the future…”
