Useless tuk-tuk Tour (Cambodia)
Cambodia ~ Siem Reap – 2016 I know it’s a little bit easy and uninspiring to do this, but I still feel it’s always a decent option to take a tour when you are in a new foreign country. I’m aware this goes against all of the present wisdom which suggests you should just cycle…

Elderly Children
The other day I laughed like I haven’t done in months…and it wasn’t from a well-crafted and intelligent political barb either, or an amusing satirical comment on Western society’s culture – or anything else that demands some level of brain activity to “get” – no…it was a lot more simple and pure than all of that, but…

Failure = Bacon
It seems more and more common in this day and age to force ourselves to do things which we know to be uncomfortable, or in some cases totally impossible… We sign up for classes in which you actually pay money to jump up and down until you feel like your intestines are about to fall…

Tokyo Tantrums
Japan ~ Tokyo – 2015 Tokyo has a big city sort of reputation to it, an air of grandeur accompanied with a sense of mystery somewhere within the non-stop luminous glare of the lights and the 24/7 rush… So many films have painted a picture that has made an impression on me, and because of this it was…

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 set…

Unwanted Room Mate
It’s a well recorded, and commonly recited sentiment – but you truly never know what sort of day a stranger on the street is having…of course our imagination fills in the huge gaping blanks, but that doesn’t mean we should trust these assessments – more often than not they are way off… Like you may…

Wake up, and Smell the Coffee
When I was in the USA, I lived in the midtown area of Atlanta…which was lovely! I was told this was the “gay area” by someone in hushed tones, but honestly I didn’t see the problem – all I saw were friendly strangers who liked to give compliments, and some great brunch establishments! How could anyone hate that?!…

Death by Poop (냉방병)
Other than to crawl to work and hope for the best (I have no choice!), it is advisable I don’t leave my bed…so I thought I’d shoot a video just so I have something to do while I lie here regretting my life choices. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bvoYDomPRO4&feature=youtu.be You can read more about the madness here…if you enjoy…

Why am I Dying? (냉방병)
I’ve been suffering a little bit recently…and by suffering I mean clinging on for dear life – in fact I even thought about writing out my will, but then realised I don’t own anything of worth so just went back to crying alone instead. Oh, but for the record my brothers can share my socks…

Edward Sausage-Hands
How does a person afflicted with stubby little pork sausage fingers even begin to play the guitar? The mind boggles… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zuC-rsYqCz4&feature=youtu.be Oh, and I know I am just whining and complaining – after all my Dad, his brother – and one of my own brothers play guitar very well. But still…help a guy out? Or…
